专业四级:词汇、语法详细解答40套(25)c

试题答案与解析

1. A)【句意】他尽管学识渊博,但始终很谦逊。

【难点】句型“for all +one’s+名词或从句”以及“with all (one’s+名词或从句)”为习惯性用语,常用来表示让步状语, for all或with all 相当于in spite of all,意为“尽管,虽然”。

2. D)【句意】他的诚实是无可怀疑的,没有人能怀疑这一点。

【难点】without question 意为“无可怀疑的”。in question 意为“在考虑中的,在议论中的”。out of question 意为“不成问题”。beside the question 无此搭配。

3. A)【句意】烹饪一道好菜时,必须考虑使用这种调料。

【难点】由时间状语中的a delicious dish 可以看出,此句意在说明一个普遍的事实,而不是特指烹饪某一道菜,所以无须使用过去时,而只需使用表示普遍情况的一般时。

4. B)【句意】直到他开始以钓鱼为乐,他才开始得到了轻松的休息。

【难点】此句为强调句,所强调的时间状语从句部分的动作几乎和主句的动作同时发生,时间状语从句的谓语动词为过去时,因而主句的谓语动词采用过去时便可。

5. D)【句意】不仅你,我也在这点上犯了错误。

【难点】按照英语语法,由not only…but also构成的主语,其谓语动词应按照就近关系,因此此句只能选择D)。

6. D)【句意】二十镑足够这样一个贫困的家庭花一个月了。

【难点】表示时间度量等复数名词作主语时,常常作为一个整体看待,谓语动词用单数。7. C)【句意】校长与系主任正打算召开一次会议,以制定一系列规章制度。

【难点】由“together with (as well as, but, including) +名词”构成的介词短语来修饰主语的句子,其谓语动词必须与主语保持一致,而无须考虑以上介词的宾语的单复数形式。

8.A)【句意】许多人站在百货大楼的门前。

【难点】many a +可数名词的单数形式意为“许多…”,后面的谓语动词必须使用单数形式。

9. D)【句意】“我按时到了办公室。”“假如你的车坏了会怎么样?”

【难点】what if 意为“倘使…将会怎样”,由其构成的虚拟条件句通常用过去时表示将来,用过去完成时表示过去时,本句意在表达与过去事实相反,所以条件句子中谓语动词必须采用D)。

10. D)【句意】如果那时天气更好一点的话,现在庄稼长得会更好。

【难点】此句为一错综时间条件句。本句中的从句表达与过去事实相反的一个假设,按照常规虚拟语气句的要求,主句中的谓语动词应为would have grown,表达与过去事实相反;但主句实际要表达的是与现在事实相反,所以谓语动词应为would be growing。

11. D)【句意】在冷冻法发明前,鱼和肉的保存是个棘手的问题。

【难点】preservation 意为“保存,防腐”;keeping 意为“保存;保留”,maintaining 意为“维持;保持;使继续;”protection意为“保护,防护”。

12. B)【句意】有东西突然一动,引起了小马的注意,他立刻警觉起来,变得多疑。

【难点】suspicious 意为“猜疑的,多疑的”,后接of, about ;doubtful 意为“不确知的;怀疑的”,常与about 和of连用; suspecting和hesitating是现在分词,不合本句句意。

13. B)【句意】学生实习当老师的第一年,常常参观当地学校,观察课是怎么上的。

【难点】observation意为“观察;监视”;investigation 意为“调查,调查研究”;inspection 意为“检阅,检查”;observance意为“观察,注意”,不常用。

14. D)【句意】我很高兴你同意调查这件事。

【难点】look into 意为“调查”;look up 意为“(在词典,参考书中)查找”; look for 意为“寻找”;look over 意为“查看,参观”。

15. B)【句意】由于医院停电,那位外科医生不得不取消手术。

【难点】call off 意为“取消”;call for 意为“需要,需求”;call on 意为“号召,呼吁”;call out 意为“召唤…行动”。

16. D)【句意】从古代起,尼罗河谷就被泛滥的河水变成一片沃土。

【难点】fertile 意为“肥沃的,富饶的”;famous 意为“出名的”;deserted 意为“无人居住的,荒废的”;attractive意为“有吸引力的”。

17. A)【句意】经理根据她说的话作了个有远见的决定。

【难点】in the light of 意为“根据”;in the course of 意为“在…期间,在…过程中”;in favor of 意为“赞同,支持”;in the face of意为“在…面前,面对…”。

18. D)【句意】每户每月只有权买五磅肉。

【难点】entitle 意为“把权利给某人”,常用被动语态,后接动词不定式或to+动名词;avail 意为“有助于,有用于”;allocate 意为“分配,分派”;endow 意为“赋予;资助,向…捐钱”,后接with。

19. D)【句意】我们搜集到的有关那个案件的所有信息几乎不起任何作用。

【难点】add up to意为“总计,共达”,add up to very little 意为“几乎不起作用”;come up to 意为“等于,比得上;达到(标准等)”;make up for 意为“补偿;弥补”;stand up for 意为“支持”。

20. B)【句意】经理对增产感到很满意。

【难点】output 意为“产量”;outcome意为“结果;成果”;outset 意为“开始,起初”;outlet 意为“发泄(情感),销路,出口”。

21. B)【句意】窗帘才挂上几个月,可现在已严重褪色。

【难点】fade 意为“褪色,衰退,变弱”;shade 意为“遮蔽,覆盖”;faint意为“晕倒,昏厥”; wither 意为“(草木)枯萎;凋谢”。

22. D)【句意】你要是感觉那把椅子太硬,我就给你拿一个坐垫。

【难点】cushion 意为“垫子,坐垫”;pillow 意为“枕头;mat意为“席子”;comforter意为“被褥”。
