27、ne suitable.（分数：2.00）A.companionsB.opponentsC.candidates D.partners解析：解析 本句中的“interview”一词非常关键，汉语是“面试”的意思。应该判断出，本题的场景是在招聘面试合适的候选人(candidate)，所以最佳答案是 C。2.The radical policy was rejected _ a more cautious one.（分数：2.00）A.in honor ofB.in time ofC.in spite ofD.in favor of 解析：解析 “radical”(激进的)和“cautious”(
28、慎重的)是反义词，“否决(rejected)”了激进的政策，就只有“赞同(in favor of)”更为慎重的政策。其他选项的意思不适合语境。3.I need new heels on these shoes; the present ones are _.（分数：2.00）A.worn down B.knocked downC.kept downD.taken down解析：解析 本题考查动词词组词意的区别。衣物和鞋帽穿坏了应该用“wear down”。4.I can“t tell you how _ I am to you for having listened to me.（分数：2.0
29、0）A.helpfulB.faithfulC.grateful D.useful解析：解析 应该注意本句话的主语是“我(I)”，只能是“我感谢你听我的话”。而 A 项和 B 项都要求主语是“你(you)”时意思才能讲得通。5.It wouldn“t do you any _ to work a bit harder.（分数：2.00）A.injuryB.harm C.woundD.hurt解析：解析 做词汇题的关键有两条：一是要看句子的意思，二是要看词组搭配。此处的正确搭配是“do harm to”，意思为“对造成损害”。其他选项尽管意思相近但搭配错误。6.No ready technical
30、 data available, we managed to _ them.（分数：2.00）A.go downB.go offC.go upD.go without 解析：解析 “go without”意思为“没有也能应付”。只有此词组的意思在句子中可以讲得通。全句意思为“尽管没有现成的技术资料可用，我们还是把事情给办妥了。”7.The basic causes are unknown though certain conditions that may lead to cancer have been（分数：2.00）A.identified B.guaranteedC.notifiedD
31、.conveyed解析：解析 本题的重点是谓语动词与后面的宾语应该对应搭配。“identify”意思为“找到”，与句子的宾语“certain conditions“相对应。全句意思为“尽管癌症的基本原因不明，但已经发现了有可能导致癌症的某些条件。”8.The actor and actress provided superb interpretations of their _ roles.（分数：2.00）A.respectfulB.respective C.respectingD.respected解析：解析 其他选项都有“受尊重”的意思，只有 B 项“respective”意思为“分别的
32、，不同的”。全句意思为“男女演员都非常精彩地诠释了其各自的角色。”9.Computers _ 5% of the country“s commercial electricity consumption.（分数：2.00）A.pay forB.stand forC.account for D.provide for解析：解析 “pay for”意思为“支付”。“stand for”意思为“表示”。“provided for”意思为“提供”。“account for”意思为“解释，占的比例”。全句意思为“计算机占全国商业电器消费的 5%”。10.The museum has been tempo
33、rarily closed _ the public.（分数：2.00）A.withB.to C.onD.for解析：解析 “closed to the public”意思为“不对公众开放”，属于固定搭配，不能用其他介词。11.I realized I had let myself in something from which there was no turning _.（分数：2.00）A.aroundB.backC.away D.down解析：解析 “turn away”意思为“脱身”，最符合句子意思。“turn around”意思为“转身”。“turn back”意思为“回身、回头”
34、。“turn down sth.”意思为“拒绝”。12.Those close to him are _ that he hopes to stay on till the end of his term.（分数：2.00）A.ensuredB.confirmedC.supposedD.convinced 解析：解析 只有“convinced”一词在此句中的用法正确，意思为“接近他的人相信他希望留任到届满”。其他选项的意思或用法都不符合英语语法要求。13.Working women haven“t left the family role behind, now they are _ to w
35、ork even harder to do both.（分数：2.00）A.expected B.wishedC.hopedD.desired解析：解析 本词汇题要求所选词汇既要符合后面加上不定式的结构，又要符合及物动词被动语态的要求。全句意思为“职业妇女并没有抛弃在家庭所扮演的角色，人们还希望她们在家务和工作两个方面更加努力”。其他选项用法或意思错误。14.Modem technology has brought _ communication between people far apart.（分数：2.00）A.competentB.convenient C.consciousD.com
36、plete解析：解析 本词汇题只有“convenient”的意思符合上下文的要求。全句意思为“现代技术给相距很远的人们带来了方便的信息交流”。A 项“有能力的”和 C 项“有意识的”用来修饰人物。D 项“完整的”在此意思不符合上下文。15.Under no _ are children allowed to tell lies to their parents.（分数：2.00）A.circumstances B.situationsC.occasionsD.moments解析：解析 本词汇题属于固定词组搭配考点。“under no circumstances”意思为“在任何情形下”，属于否定
37、词组处于句子开头，所以后面的助动词和主语需要倒装结构。B 项前面的介词应该是“in”。C项前面的介词为“on”。“moments”前面一般加介词“at”。16.If the car you have rented is clearly unsatisfactory, you can always _ it for another.（分数：2.00）A.shiftB.exchange C.switchD.replace解析：解析 本题四个选项的意思比较接近，但用法有区别，搭配不同。只有 B 项的“exchange”一词符合题意，此处意思为“另换一辆车”。17.Every manager need
38、s a secretary that he can _ to take care of something that may occur in his absence.（分数：2.00）A.bring onB.hold onC.count on D.focus on解析：解析 “count on”意思为“依靠，信得过”，最符合上下文的意思。其他选项意思在本句中讲不通。全句意思为“每一位经理都需要一个信得过的秘书在他不在时打理一切事情”。18.The shirt is a real bargain because it is good in quality and _ in price.（分数：
39、2.00）A.valuableB.remarkableC.availableD.reasonable 解析：解析 用于修饰价钱的形容词是“reasonable(合理的)”。连词“and”前后为并列关系。全句意思为“这件衬衣太划算了，质量好还便宜”。19.In this advanced course, students are required to take performance tests at monthly _.（分数：2.00）A.gapsB.lengthsC.distancesD.intervals 解析：解析 本题属于固定搭配词组考点。“at intervals”为固定词组。“
40、at monthly intervals”意思为“每月一次”。由于其他选项都是复数形式，不能与介词“at”搭配。20.American women were _ the right to vote until 1920.（分数：2.00）A.ignoredB.refusedC.derivedD.denied 解析：解析 “ignore”意思为“忽视”；“refuse”意思为“拒绝”；“derive”意思为“得到”；“deny”意思为“不准，不容许”。最佳答案为 D。21.I cannot _ your plan, for I see no money return for the pursui
41、t.（分数：2.00）A.argue withB.approve of C.turn downD.give up解析：解析 本句是一个因果关系：因为看不到回报，所以我不能同意你的计划。B 项的“approve of”意思为“同意、认可、赞成”；C 项“turn down”意思为“拒绝”；D 项“give up”意思为“放弃”。这两个选项意思一致，所以都不能选。A 项“argue with”意思为“与争论”，一般人与人之间可以争论某种观点，而本句的介词宾语为“your plan”，所以此选项错误。22.The thief was so _ by the bright lights and bar
42、king dogs that he left hastily.（分数：2.00）A.frightened B.annoyedC.puzzledD.disappointed解析：解析 A 项意思为“害怕”；B 项意思为“惹恼”；C 项意思为“迷惑”；D 项意思为“失望”。全句意思是“明亮的灯光和狂叫的狗吓跑了小偷”。23.Since any answer may bring _ to his government, the spokesman tried to avoid the question.（分数：2.00）A.embarrassment B.commitmentC.failureD.b
43、enefit解析：解析 A 项意思为“尴尬”；B 项意思为“义务”；C 项意思为“失败”；D 项意思为“利益”。整句话意思为“由于任何回答都会给政府带来尴尬，所以发言人试图绕开这个问题”。24.It is possible for a person to _ negative attitudes and gain healthy confidence needed to realize his or her dreams.（分数：2.00）A.get away withB.get rid of C.get out ofD.get along with解析：解析 A 项意思为“带走”；B 项意思
44、为“抛弃”；C 项意思为“脱身”；D 项意思为“相处”。本题的关键是注意句中的连词“and”前后用词的对比性要求。后面的“gain(获得)”与前面 B 项“抛弃”的意思正好相对应，所以是正确答案。25.If you miss the cultural references _ a word, you“re very likely to miss its meaning.（分数：2.00）A.belowB.beforeC.behindD.beyond 解析：解析 短语“beyond a word”意思为“字面之外的含义”。其他的选项不符合固定搭配要求。全句意思为“如果你不能领会字面之外的文化含义
45、，你就极有可能误解其真正意思”。26.He added that the state government has made _ arrangements for the conference.（分数：2.00）A.accurate B.absoluteC.adequateD.active解析：解析 本题的关键是正确分析所选形容词后面的名词“arrangements”。与此名词的搭配使用 A项“accurate”一词最为适当，意思为“准确的细节安排”。其他三项的词意不符合本句话的要求。27.This video may be freely reproduced _ commercial pro
46、motion or sale.（分数：2.00）A.as forB.except for C.thanks toD.up to解析：解析 A 项“as for”意思为“对于”；B 项“except for”意思为“除了”；C 项“thanks to”意思为“由于、多亏”；D 项“up to”意思为“达到”。整句话意思为“这盘录像只要不是为了广告推广或出售就可以免费复制”。28.Saffron returned to London to _ her acting career after four years of modeling.（分数：2.00）A.followB.chaseC.seekD
47、.pursue 解析：解析 本题属于近义词区别问题，尽管四个选项都有“追”的概念，但根据后面的名词“her acting career”来判断，与此能够搭配的动词只能是 D 项的“pursue”，中文意思为“寻求/追寻演艺职业”。29.He has fancy dreams about his life, and nothing ever quite _ his expectations.（分数：2.00）A.matches B.makesC.reachesD.realizes解析：解析 本题的关键是正确分析句子的意思，并注意句型的搭配。后面的并列句主语是“nothing”而不是“somebo
48、dy”，所以不能用 C 或 D“达到/实现”。A 项“matches”在此的意思为“满足”。全句真正的意思为“他生活中充满了幻想，几乎没有什么能够满足他的愿望”。30.When I worked as a bank clerk, I had the opportunity to meet a rich _ of people, students, soldiers and factory workers.（分数：2.00）A.diversityB.kindC.rangeD.variety 解析：解析 D 项“variety”为“不同的人群”；A 项“diversity”为“物种”。后半句话明确地指出了是不同的人群，所以应该选 D。B 项“kind”作“种类”讲时是可数名词的单数形式，在此用法错误；C 项“range
