Ⅰ.语法单句填空
1.(2011·四川改编)—I hope to take the computer course.
—Good idea.________(find) out more about it, visit this website.
答案:To find 本题考查非谓语动词。句意:——我希望能上电脑课。——好主意。要想了解更多,浏览这个网站。动词不定式放于句首,作目的状语,符合语境。
2.________73yearold woman, who died of respiratory failure on Dec. 6, was confirmed to have been carrying ________H10N8 virus.
答案:A; the 考查冠词。句意:12月6日,一位73岁的妇女死于呼吸衰竭,她被确诊携带H10N8病毒。第一空填不定冠词表泛指;第二空填定冠词表特指。
3.Be careful when you deal with this chemical, as it will explode when ________(expose) to sunlight.
答案:exposed 考查非谓语动词。句意:处理该化学物质时一定要小心,因为暴露在阳光下,它会爆炸。when后省略了句子的主语it(this chemical)和动词be的形式is,所以选D项。
4.Some school teachers complained, “Many kids haven't got any hobbies— ________ you call playing computer games a hobby.”
答案:unless 考查连词。句意:一些老师抱怨说“许多孩子没有任何爱好,除非你把打电脑游戏叫做一项爱好”。
5.To be honest, no speech ________(make) so far has had the same effect on me as this one.
答案:made 考查非谓语动词做后置定语。观察句子结构,不难发现句子已经有了谓语has had effect on,故应填入非谓语动词。make与speech构成被动关系结合时间状语so far,故选过去分词,即表被动又表完成。句意:老实说,迄今为止,这是对我最有影响的演讲。
6.Land used to grow crops feeds five times more people than land ________animals are kept.
答案:where 考查学生对定语从句关系代词、关系副词的掌握情况。句意:用来种庄稼的土地养活的人口数量比放牧牲口的土地所供养的人口数量要多五倍。先行词为land,关系词在从句中作地点状语,故选关系副词where。
7.(2014·陕西改编)Please send us all the information ________ you have about the candidate for the position.
答案:that 本题考查定语从句。句意:请把所有申请这个职位的选手的信息发给我们。先行词为information在定语从句中充当动词have的宾语,且前有all修饰,故只能用that。
8.When he came back three hours later, they were still sitting on the sofa, ________(absorb) in conversation.
答案:absorbed 考查非谓语动词。句意:当他三个小时后回来时,他们仍坐在沙发上,聚精会神地交谈。be absorbed in为固定搭配,意为“专心于”,所以此处应用absorb的过去分词形式,作伴随状语。
9.—Who is ________(blame) for the shooting at a movie theatre in America?
—A gunman named James Eagan Holmes.
答案:to blame 问句句意:谁要为发生在美国电影院的枪击案负责?be to blame为固定短语,意为“该受责备”。本身为被动含义,不用于被动语态。
10.(2014·大连一中第三次月考)________(reduce) the gap between the rich and the poor is one of the main challenges facing the government.
答案:Reducing 句意:缩小贫富之间的差距是这届政府面临的主要挑战之一。
