16、ce解析:解析 根据上下文可知,空格后的 it 指代 forms,故所填词应该和 dislike-样具有消极含义,故首先排除 B)enthusiasm(热情)。D)ignorance (无知)显然与此处语义不符,故也排除。由此将答案限定在 A) horror(恐惧,厌恶)和 C)contempt,(鄙视)之间。而从后文内容来看,作者对填写表格并不是“鄙视”,而是“害怕”,这一点从最后一段中的第三句中的 terrified 一词也可以看出来,故答案应为 A) hormr(恐惧)。A.attendingB.registering C.invitingD.working解析:解析 此处是列举令作者反
17、感的需要填写表格的事项,联系宾语 an evening course 推测,此处可能是表示“申请”或“登记”课程,因为这两 项一般都会涉及填写表格,故答案应为 B)register。(注册,登记), register for an evening course 意为“报名参加夜校课程”。A)attending 可以表示“参加(课程等)”,但此时该词为及物动词,后面应直接 跟宾语,且“上课”一般也不会涉及填写表格,故不选。C)inviting (邀请)为及物动词,结构和意思均不符合;D)working 与 for连用,可以表示“为工作”,明显与此处语义不符。A.givenB.to giveC.g
18、iving D.having given解析:解析 involve 表示“包括,涉及”时,后面要求接名词或动名词,故答案限定在 C)giving 和 D)having given 之间,而动名词的完成式做宾语时,是表示其动作发生在前面动词的动作之后,而此处并没有这种时 间先后关系,故答案应为 C)giving。A.byB.in C.atD.to解析:解析 in hand 意为“手头上的,在进行中的”,此处是表示“手头上的事情”,故答案为 B)in。by hand 意为“用手,手工的”;at hand 意为“在手边,即将到来的”;to hand 意为“在手边,唾手可得”,三者均 不符合此处语义要
19、求。A.byB.withC.aboutD.of 解析:解析 介词 of 在此处表示一种因果关系,其后接原因,此处句意为:当我求职的时候,也许是出于某种模糊的兴趣,雇主想要知道我集邮 或A.prospective B.comingC.responsibleD.strict解析:解析 将四个选项代入句中,能使此处语义通顺的是 A)prospective(未来 的),因此此处是淡求职过程中的情况,所以雇主应该是“未来的”。 C)responsible(负责的)、D)strict(严格的)尽管也能修饰 employer,但与上下文语义不符。A.andB.otherwiseC.but D.or解析:解析
20、 空格前说未来的雇主可能出于某种模糊的兴趣想要知道我集邮或是我小时候得过“风疹”,空格后则是一个反问句:为什么他那么想知道我父亲是一个烟草商、死在 1988 年呢?前后语气具有转折,故答案应为 C)but,其他几项都不能使此处逻辑通顺。A.hidB.inviteC.requestD.require 解析:解析 主语 authorities(政府,当局)以及后面的 demand 提示,此处应该是 表示“当局要求一个人填写表格”,D)require(需要,要求),略点一点强制性,符合此处语义要求。C)request 也表示“要求”,但它含有请求的含义,与此处语境不符。A.intimate B.st
21、rangeC.newD.future解析:解析 将四个选项代人句中,能使此处语义通顺的是 A)intimate(亲密的),此处句意为:当局要求人们填表,总叫他们回答一些即使是亲 密朋友也不便提出的私人问题。A.crazyB.blank C.stiffD.clumsy解析:解析 后面的一系列问句表明,作者不知道应该如何回答表格中的问题,将四个选项代入句中,符合此处语义要求的应该是 B)blank(空白的),此处句意为:面对这些问题,我的头脑一片空白。A)crazy(疯狂 的)、C)stitlf(僵硬的)、D)clumsy(笨拙的)均不符合此处语义 要求。A.ensuredB.insuredC.a
22、ssured D.reassured解析:解析 将四个选项代人句中,能使此处语义通顺的是 C)assured(向保 证,使确信),该词常用于 assure sb.of sth./assure sb.that结构,此处句意为:我的母亲总是让我觉得我是“柔弱的”。A) ensured,意为“确保,保证”,后面一般不能接人做宾语;B)insured(投保)、D)reassured(使安心,使消除疑虑)均不符合此处 语义要求。A.wear B.takeC.putD.carry解析:解析 contact lenses 意为“隐形眼镜”,表示“戴”眼镜,一般用 wear。A.agreesB.connect
23、sC.relatesD.applies 解析:解析 四个选项均能与 to 搭配,故答案需根据语义来选择。apply to 意为 “适应,适用”,符合此处语义要求,此处句意为:或许“缺陷”一词适用于描述我的个性。agree to 意为“同意”,connect to 意为“连 接到,连到上”,relate 的意为“涉及,与有关”,三者均不 符合此处语义要求。A.declineB.denyC.admit D.reject解析:解析 将四个选项代人句中,能使此处语义通顺的是 C)admit(承认),此 处句意为:我是不是应该承认我爱赌钱和不爱早起的缺点呢?A) decline(婉拒)、B)deny(否
24、认,拒绝给予)、D)reject(拒绝)均 不符合此处语义要求。A.NeitherB.Both C.NoneD.Either解析:解析 上文提到爱赌钱和不爱早起两个缺点,故此处的代词应该能表示两者,故首先排除 C)None,因为它一般是表示三者以上。结合上题分析可知,作者是在犹豫要不要承认爱赌钱和不爱早起这两个缺点,而 既然涉及要不要承认,那么这两个缺点应该都是事实,故此处应该是表示“两者都”,故答案应为 B)Both。A)Neither 表示“两者中任 何一个都不”,D)Either 表示“两者中任意一个”,二者都强调单数,故其后的谓语动词应该用单数,因此二者在语义和结构上都不符合。A.be
25、stB.easiestC.poorestD.worst 解析:解析 此处 of au 是指“在所有的表格中”,此处是说,求职表格是所有表 格中最_的。而结合上下文可知,本篇主要是讲表格的讨厌之 处,因此此处所填词也应该是表达消极含义,故将答案限定在 C) poorest 和 D)worst 之间,两个词都有“糟糕,不好”的意思,但 poor 一般是表达“东西本身做得不好”,不符合此处语义要求,故答案为 D)worst,此处是表示“求职申请表时最让人讨厌的表格”。A.daysB.dates C.offersD.suggestions解析:解析 此处是列举一些求职申请表中需要填入的内容:教育经历以
26、前的 经验曾经担任的职务给出_,四个选项中与工作申请表中需要填入内容相关联的应该是 B)dates(日期)。其他三项均与 求职申请表关联不大。A.declarations B.witnessesC.publicationsD.announcements解析:解析 将四个选项代入句中,能使此处语义通顺的是 A)declarations(申报,声明),此处句意为:表格下面有关提供错误个人信息会导致可怕后果的警告让我感到害怕。B)witnesses(目击,见证)、C) publications(出版物)、D)announcements(通知)均不符合此处语义要求。A.ButB.ThereforeC.
27、ThoughD.However 解析:解析 此处需要的是引导状语从句的关联词,D)However 意为“无论多么”,在此修饰副词hard,引导让步状语从句,此处句意为:无论我多么努力,似乎总是有一、两年A.possibilityB.discloseC.impression D.fact解析:解析 分析句句结构可知,空格后面的 that 从句应该是一个同位语从句,修饰所填词,结合上下文可知,“I was in prison or engaged in some occupation”并不是事实,而是如果我某段时间的事记不来而空着不填会让人以为是那样,即给人留下那样的“印象”,故答案为 C) im
28、pression(印象)。A)possibility(可能性)、B)disclose(揭露)、 D)fact(事实)均不符合此处语义要求。二、Directions:Complete (总题数:5,分数:35.00)1.The spots meet originally due to be held last Friday _(最终因天气不好而取消了)(分数:7.00)_正确答案:(was finally called off/cancelled because of the bad weather)解析:考点 本题主要考查时态语态。解析 结合句意和 last Friday 可知,本句陈述的过去
29、发生的事情,故应该用一般过去时。主语 The sports meet 和动词“取消”之间应该是被动的关系,故应该用被动语态。2.The mad man was put in the softpadded cell lest _(他伤害自己)(分数:7.00)_正确答案:(he injure himself)解析:考点 本题主要考查 lest 一词的用法。解析 lest 意为“以防”,后面的从句常用虚拟语气,谓语动词用 should do 的形式,should 常省略。3.But for his help,I_(我不可能这么早完成这 项工作)(分数:7.00)_正确答案:(would not h
30、ave finished this work so early)解析:考点 本题主要考查虚拟语气。解析 but for 意为“要不是因为”,But for his help 相当于一个虚拟条件句,意为“如果不是因为你的帮助”,其后的句子应采用虚拟语气,结合句意可知,本句应该是针对过去事实的虚拟,故谓语动词应该用 would have done 的形式。4.I dont mind_(你延期做出决定)as long as it is not too late(分数:7.00)_正确答案:(your delaying making the decision)解析:考点 本题主要考查动名词做宾语。解析
31、 动词 mind 后面要求接动名词做宾语,本句中“延期”这一动作有自己的发出者“你”,故此处应该用动名词的复合结构来表达。表示 “延期”常用动词 delay,该词后面也要求接动名词做宾语。5.Why didnt you tell me you could pay back my money?I _(本来不必从银行借钱的)(分数:7.00)_正确答案:(neednt have borrowed it from the bank)解析:考点 本题主要考查 neednt have done 结构。解析 表示“本来不必做某事但实际却做了”应该用 neednt have done 结构。类似的结构还有 should have done(本应该),shouldnt have done(本不应该),might have done(本来可能),could have done(本能够)。
