C.D.解析:解析 语义关系 联系上一句,本句意为“感恩节的餐桌上还有早期清教徒收获的玉米和谷子”,选项 B意为“收获”,为正确答案。 选项 D与原文不符,可首先排除;干扰性最强为选项 A和 C项。grown和 planted强调种植,而选项 B harvested突出收获(感恩)。(4). A.

28、,都有“花费”的意思,但只有 spend time doing sth这一固定搭配,因此选项 C正确。(7). A. competed B. ran C. contested D. concentrated(分数:0.50)A.B. C.D.解析:解析 固定搭配 动词 run和 race搭配,意为“跑步比赛”,因此选项 B为正确答案。 本题主要考查动宾搭配。选项 A、B、C 都有“比赛”之义,但只有选项 B run可以和 race搭配使用。因此考生复习备考也要特别注意常见动词的动宾搭配。(8). A. are dismissed B. are closed C. are celebrated
29、D. are left(分数:0.50)A.B.

A. telephone B. greet C. travel D. visit(分数:0.50)A.B.C. D.解析:解析 语义关系 本题是动词的选择,意为“其他城市的亲戚、离家在外的学生以及许多美国人_回家度假”,从各地“回家度假”,经过一些路程,因此选

34、考查动词词义辨析。本句意为“每次感恩节,约一万名美国人会去普利茅斯这个_历史的现代城市进行感怀之旅”。随后讲到普利茅斯对感恩节的一系列纪念活动。由此可以看出这个城市很尊重历史,因此选项 A为正确答案。 本题主要考查动词的词义辨析。这四个动词虽然拼写很相似,但词义相差很远。考生复习的时候,还应特别注意形近动词的不同含义。(15). A. familiar B. similar C. comparative D. imitative(分数:0.50)A.B. C.D.解析:解析 固定搭配 本题考查形容词和介词的固定搭配。形容词 similar和介词 to连用,意为“与相似”,因此选项 B为正确答案

D.解析:解析 句子结构 本空引导的句子在句中作动词 reveal的宾语从句,此外,本空还用来修饰little,强调早期殖民者生活的清贫。how 用来修饰 little,强调物资贫乏,因此选项 C为正确答案。 本题需考虑句子的整体结构。选项 A和 D不能用来修饰 little,可首先排除;选项 B中的 so可以强调程度,但不能引导宾语从句,因此也排除。(19). A. standards B. comparison C. conditions D. requirement(分数:0.50)A. B.C.D.解析:解析 词

39、义。A 选项 splendidly“辉煌地”干扰性较弱,可首先排除;干扰性较强选项 C和 D。particularly 强调“出乎寻常地”,选项 D specially强调“独有性,为某个目的专门设置”。而选项 B uniquely强调“独一无二,独特地”。二、BSection Readi(总题数:0,分数:0.00)三、BPart A/B(总题数:0,分数:0.00)四、BText 1/B(总题数:1,分数:10.00)Since the Nov.4 election, investors have been abandoning stocks in a kind of slow-motio
