17. The black horse is _____ of the pair .
A. the strongest B. the stronger C. the strong D. quite strong
答案是B項。英語表示"兩里擇一的那一個更…"的名詞前的比較級前面應(yīng)該使用定冠詞the。pair的詞義是"一對"或"一雙",此處的the pair 的詞義是two horses fastened side by side to a cart (兩匹套在車轅的馬)。因此,此處應(yīng)該使用the stronger 。
16. ______ professional violinist practises for several hours a day , but ______ violinist has his own way of playing the Beethoven concert .
A. Each , every B. Every ; each C. All ; every D. Either ; every
答案是B項。雖然every與each在漢語中的詞意是:"每一個",但這兩個代詞的內(nèi)涵不完全一樣。every與all含義很接近,如:He has read every book / all books on the subject . (有關(guān)這個科目的書籍他全都讀過了。)英文中常用every進行概括,強調(diào)事物或人的總體性,而each則表示個別概念,當(dāng)我們說each violinist時,我們想到的是每個不同的人做著不同的事。又如:We want every child to succeed , however each child will find his or her own personal road to success . (我們希望每個孩子都能成功,然而每個孩子將會找到他或她個人的成功之路。)
15. Mr. Zhang gave all the textbooks to all the pupils , except _____ who had already taken them .
答案是C項。one本來是數(shù)詞,但也可用作不定代詞,代替前面剛提到的一個東西或人,避免重復(fù)前面剛提到的名詞,有時one可以有自己的定語或冠詞,甚至可以有復(fù)數(shù)形式,如:I don't like these pink shirts . Will you please show me the white ones ? (我不喜歡這些粉色的襯衣,請您把那些白色的襯衣拿給我看看好嗎?)
14. Besides Tom , ______ Crosettes have two other sons , ______ of whom are all interested in making model planes .
A.不填;two B. 不填;the two C. the ; three D. the ; the three
答案是D項。在英語的姓氏前使用定冠詞,表示的是這個姓氏的一家人或這個姓氏的夫婦;"the + 數(shù)詞 + of + 代詞"這一結(jié)構(gòu)表示該代詞的總數(shù)是前面的數(shù)詞表示的數(shù)量,而"數(shù)詞+of+代詞"結(jié)構(gòu)中的代詞表示的量肯定大于前面數(shù)詞表示的數(shù)量,試比較:the five of us (我們這五個人,us表示的就是五個人)而five of us (我們中的五個人,us表示的數(shù)量肯定要多于五個人)。
13. Shortly after the accident , two ______ police were sent to the spot to keep order .
A. dozens of B. dozens C. dozen of D. dozen
答案是D項。英語中一些表示數(shù)字的名詞的前面如果用了數(shù)詞,這些名詞必須是單數(shù)形式,如dozen(一打),score(二十)和head (頭) 等,例如:另外兩打雞蛋another two dozen eggs ; 八十七年前four score and seven years ago ; 五十五頭牲口fifty-five head of cattle 。但是如果這些名詞用來虛指某些可數(shù)名詞時,這些名詞呈復(fù)數(shù)形式,其后更加上介詞of例如:dozens of pencils (幾十支鉛筆)和scores of tame birds (幾十只家禽)。
12. My dictionary ________ . I have looked for it everywhere but still ______ it .
A. has lost ; do not find B. is missing ; do not find
C. has lost ; have not found D. is missing ; have not found
答案是D項。lose是個及物動詞,如果要表示某物丟失了,只能用被動語態(tài)。A項與C項使用的都是其主動形式。missing是形容詞,其詞義是:lost ; not to be found (丟失了的),據(jù)此,第一空缺處應(yīng)填入is missing。根據(jù)語境,第二個空缺處應(yīng)填使用現(xiàn)在完成時的否定形式,因為它可以表示目前還未發(fā)生的動作。
11. The news about the terrible flood there greatly discouraged ______ these for a sight-seeing .
A. us from going B. us to go C. our going D. our to go
答案是A項。discourage與encourage互為反義詞。英語中說"鼓勵某人做某事"時使用encourage sb to do sth , 但如果要表示"使某人沒勇氣做某事"時,不能想當(dāng)然的以此類推:discourage sb to do sth , 這是不符合英語習(xí)慣的錯誤表達方式,其正確形式是:discourage sb from doing sth 。
10. He's unlucky , and he's always suffering _____ luck one after another .
A. a sick B. an ill C. sick D. ill
答案是D項。英語中的名詞有可數(shù)與不可數(shù)之分,luck是不可數(shù)名詞,用來修飾貶意的luck形容詞有bad,poor或ill,這時ill的詞義是:不好的。
9. Our decision _____ was wise .
A. of waiting B. to wait C. for waiting D. to be waiting
答案是B項。英語中一些名詞總與不定式連用,如:decision , wish 與 refusal等,使用這些名詞與使用它們的動詞形式表達的內(nèi)容是一致的,請看下面三組例句:我們決定等待是明智的。
His wish to succeed is probable.
他希望成功,有可能。
Her refusal to help surprised us greatly.
她拒絕幫忙,使我們感到意外。
8. I'll have you ______ English in six months .
A. speaking B. speak C. spoken D. be able to speak
答案是A項。"have +賓語+doing"這一結(jié)構(gòu)有以下五種用法。(1)用來表示我們一心要取得的效果,如:He promised to have me swimming across the river in two weeks' time . (他答應(yīng)在兩周之內(nèi)使我能游過那條河。);(2)用來表示使賓語持續(xù)做某事,如:In cold winter we always have the fire burning day and night . (在冬天,我們總是讓火日以繼夜地燃燒著。);(3)用來表示不想發(fā)生的后果,如:Don't shout ! You will have the neighbors complaining ! (別大聲嚷嚷!你會使鄰居有意見的!);(4)用來表示說話人控制不了的情況,如:We have salesmen or saleswomen calling every day . (我們每天都得任憑推銷員們的造訪。);(5)這一結(jié)構(gòu)前如用can not 或won't,則表示"不能/愿容忍"賓語做某事,如:I won't / can not have you speaking like that about your father . (我不允許/不能容忍你那樣無禮貌地談?wù)撃阕约旱母赣H。)
