22、at B.thatC.whereD.how解析：解析 分析句子结构可知，所填词应该能引导宾语从句，并在宾语从句中充当主语，选项中符合要求的为 what。A.andB.soC.but D.therefore解析：解析 本句前一分句中的 delegate 与后一分句中的 delegated 时态不同，前一分句强调好的执行者委派代表，后一分句强调好的执行者确保每一项被委派的任务能够很好地完成，二者之间并不存在并列或因果关系，而是转折关系，故答案为 but。A.ifB.that C.whetherD.until解析：解析 分析句子结构可知，each delegated task为 make certa
23、in 的宾语，故所填词应能引导宾语从句。A)if、C)whether 和 B)that 都可以引导宾语从句，make certain 强调确定性，故答案应为that。A.taskB.achievementC.SuccessD.decision 解析：解析 句中 made 的逻辑宾语即为所填词，故所填词应能与 made 搭配使用，答案为 decision(决定)，make a decision 意为“作决定”，a 在句中转化成了 no major。A.knowledge B.presenceC.helpD.agreement解析：解析 由下段首句中的 the president or CEO 可
24、知，本句中所填词前的 president 指的就是CEO。由本段第二句中破折号后的内容可知，CEO 应该 know what is going on at every level，所以公司重大的决定应该在 president 知道的情况下作出，故答案为 knowledge(知道，了解)。A.As ifB.Even though C.HoweverD.While解析：解析 本题可采用排除法，将四个选项代入句中可以发现，能够使前后逻辑通顺的只有 Even though。此处意思是说：即使是公司的总裁或 CEO 最终要对公司的成败负责，一个聪明的 CEO 的周围满是各个层次的 优秀员工。A.abso
25、rbsB.sinksC.acquaintsD.surrounds 解析：解析 结合上题分析可知，本题答案应为 surrounds(包围，围绕)， “surround oneselfwith”意为“使包围某人或自己”。A.bottomB.technicalC.administrative D.staff解析：解析 由后一句中的 consults with his executives and supervisors 可知，所填词应能与executives 和 supervisors 在同一个语义场中出现，备选项中符合此要求的为 administrative(管理的)，executives 和 s
26、upervisors 都属 于公司中的管理阶层。A.when B.howC.whyD.whether解析：解析 分析句子结构可知，本句需要一个状语从句的引导词。A)，when 通常用来引导时间状语从句；B)how 通常用于引导方式状语从句以及让步状语从句；C)why 通常用来引导名词性从句；D)whether引导状 语从句时表让步关系。结合本句句意可知，when 为正确答案。A.refusesB.deniesC.invites D.accepts解析：解析 input 在本句中指“信息、评论或观点的提供”。分析本句句意可知， 本句强调的明显不是 smart CEO 会按照他的 executiv
27、es and supervisors 所提出的建义做某事，而是 smart CE0 会广开言路，故答案是 invites (欢迎，鼓励)，而不应是 accepts(接受)。A.whichB.thatC.whomD.where 解析：解析 选项中的四个词都可以引导定语从句，但 A)which、B)that、C) whom 引导定语从句时，它们在定语从句中通常做主语或宾语。分析本句结构可知，既不缺少宾语，也不缺少主语，故可将三者排除。where 代替先行词 an open atmosphere 在句中做状语，故为答案。A.OnB.By C.WithD.After解析：解析 句中的 this pra
28、ctice 指的是上句中广开言路、创造公开的氛围的实践活动。分析主句与following this practice 的关系可知，following this pracfice 应在句中做方式状语，故答案应为By。A.whereB.unlessC.when D.though解析：解析 分析句子结构和选项可知，此处缺少的是状语从句的引导词。根据句意可知，此处应该是说“聪明的 CEO 会广开言路，他知道，当他作出某种决定的时候，公司的管理者们就会感觉到他们是参与其中的。”故答案应为 when，其他三个选项均不能使此处逻辑通顺。A.whenB.onlyC.as D.even解析：解析 结合上题分析可
29、知，此处是表示“管理者们会觉得自己参与其中”。 feel 一词提示，此处应该是表示“感觉好像”，由此可知答案为 as。as if 意为“好像,似乎”。A.whereB.whichC.whenD.why 解析：解析 前面提到，CEO 在作出某项决定之前，会咨询公司管理层的意见，此处是描述这样做的作用：这样，当决定作出时，管理者们就会感觉自己参与了决定，或者至少会明白将四个选项代入句中，很显然 why 最符合语义，此处是说管理者们会明白为什么会这样决定。A.ThatB.It C.ThisD.What解析：解析 分析句子结构可知，所填词应该是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式短语，四个选项中能充当形
30、式主语的只有 It。A.after B.beforeC.sinceD.while解析：解析 本句是说 administrator 的某种不好的行为，空格后面一句提到， administrator 应该在会议讨论期间或单独同 president 在一起时表达自己的不同观点。由此可知，前面所说的 bad practice应该是指在决策制订以后才开始抱怨决策不合理，因此答案应为 after。A.PrivatelyB.Publicly C.SecretlyD.Reasonably解析：解析 上句指出，administrator 应该私下里表达自己的抱怨，而不应该公开地表达。结合本句不难推知，admin
31、istrator 应该在大众面前表达自己对 president的支持，故答案为 Publicly(公开地，舆论地)。A.wheneverB.thoughC.ifD.unless 解析：解析 C)if 和 D)unless 都可以引导条件状语从句，但 if 表正面条件，意为“如果”，unless 表反面条件，意为“除非，不”。分析句意可知，unless 引导的表反面条件的条件状语从句符合句子要求，故为正确答案。A.openB.public C.completeD.strong解析：解析 本句中的 this suppoit 明显是指上文中所说的 administrator 应该 publicly
32、支持president 的决策，由此可知所填词应为 public(公开的)。二、Exercise 2(总题数：1，分数：70.00)Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative person who is relaxed only among those with (62) he is acquaintedWhen a stranger is at present, he often seems nervous, (63) embarrassedYou have to take
33、 a commuter train any morning or evening to (64) the truth of thisSerious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a comer；hardly anybody talks, (65) to do so would be considered quite offensiveApparently, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior w
34、hich, (66) broken, makes the offender immediately the object of (67) It has been known as a fact (68) the British has a fancy for the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it (69) Some people argue that it is because the British weather seldom follows forecast a
35、nd (70) becomes a source of interest and (71) to everyoneThis may be so (72) a British cannot have much (73) in the weatherman, who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong (74) a cloud over the Atlantic brings rainy weather to all districts!The man in the s

38、well to mention the state of the weatherIt is a safe subject (81) will provoke an answer from even the most reserved of the British（分数：70.00）A.whom B.whichC.whoD.whose解析：解析 分析句子结构可知，所填词应该是引导定语从句，修饰前面的 those。而由上下文可知，those 明显是指代入，故排除 which，而所填词在从 句中是充当介词 with 的宾语，故答案只能为 whom。A.yetB.otherwiseC.even D.s
39、o解析：解析 分析句子大意可知，embmrassed 同样是 a British 在遇到 a stranger 时的反应，只是相对于 nei。VOUS 来说，embmTassed 的程度更深一些，所以此处的副词应表示递进含义，故答案为 even。A.experienceB.witness C.watchD.undergo解析：解析 所填词的宾语 the truth 为抽象名词，选项中能接抽象名词做宾语的只有 witness。选项 A)experience 和 D)undergo 都表示“经历”，无法与 the truth 构成合理的动宾搭配，故排除。C)watch 通常指用眼睛跟随某物，以便对
40、每一个变化、动作等进行观察，其后同样也不能接抽 象名词。A.whenB.thoughC.butD.since 解析：解析 空格前是说，表情严肃的商人们坐着看报纸或在角落里打盹；这时任何人几乎都不开口说话，而空格后是说，to do so(明显是指代 talks)会被认为是不礼貌的(offensive)。显然，前后存在因果关系，故答 案应为 since。A.unlessB.once C.whileD.as解析：解析 首先可以排除明显不符句意的 A)unless(除非，否则)。B) once、C)while 和 D)as 都可以引导时间状语从句，其中 while 和 as 都表示“当时”，而 onc
41、e 表示“一旦就”。将三个选项代入句中，比较后会发现，最符合此处语境的是 once。此处是表示： 显然有一种不成文但却很明显的行为模式，一旦该行为模式被打破， the offender 将立刻成为人们批评的剥象。A.suspicionB.oppositionC.criticism D.praise解析：解析 由上题分析可知，此处应该是表示消极的含义，最符合此处句意的应 该是 criticism(批评)。D)praise(表扬)最先可以排除，A) suspicion(怀疑，猜疑)跟语境不符，B)opposition(反对，敌对)用在此处过于强烈，因为在地铁上说话不会引起人们那么强烈的反应。A.w
42、hatB.that C.whichD.judgment解析：解析 分析句子结构可知，空格后面的句子不缺少任何成分，而且根据句意可知，该句应该是说明前面 fact 的内容，故所填词引导的应该是个同位语从句，故答案应为 that。另外，本句 and 后面的that 引导的也是 同位语从句，与所填词引导的同位语从句并列。A.at length B.to a great extentC.from his heartD.by all means解析：解析 A)at length 意为“详细地”；B)to a great extent 意为“从很大程度 上”；C)from his heart 意为“从他的
43、心底”；D)by all means 意为 “尽一切办法，不惜一切代价”。空格所在分句中的 it 指代的是 weather。本分句是说，如果有机会，英国人会谈论天气。将各选项代入原文可知，最符合句意的为 at length。A.hence B.howeverC.thenD.for解析：解析 前而捉到，英国人喜欢淡论天气，空格前半句说一些人认为这是因为英国的天气很少和天气预报报的一致，空格后则说它成为人们兴趣的来源。显然，前后存在因果关系，故答案为 hence(由此)。A.dedicationB.compassionC.contemplationD.speculation 解析：解析 首先从语义
44、上可排除 A)dedication(贡献)和 B)compassion(同 情)。C)contemplation 和 D)specular：ion 都含有“沉思，思索”之意，但不同的是 speculation 还含有“推测，猜测”之意。本句中需要 的明显是 speculation 的“推测，猜测”之意，故为答案。正是因为英国的天气预报不准，所以英国的天气情况才会引起人们的兴趣和推测。A.StillB.AlsoC.Certainly D.Fundamentally解析：解析 本题答案的选择建立在第 73 小题的基础上。第 73 小题空格后的 in 提示所填词应能与 in构成合理搭配，选项中的词符
45、合这一要求的只有 faith(信任，信仰)，故为答案。明确了第 73 小题的答案可知，“a Brirish cannot have much”表达的意思就是“英国人不可能对天气预报员有太多的信任”。本段第二句已经为这种情况的产生埋下了伏 笔。既然英国的天气预报不准，那么人们对天气预报员没有太多的信任就是理所当然的。故答案应为 certainly。A.faith B.relianceC.honorD.credit解析：解析 由第 72 小题分析可知，本题答案为 faith(信任，信仰)。其余三个选项，B)reliance(依赖，依靠)通常与 on 连用；C)honor(信用，荣誉)和 D)cre
46、dit(信用，信任)通常与 for 连用。A.ifB.onceC.when D.whereas解析：解析 分析本句大意可知，所填词明显应是引导时间状语从句的连词，故可将答案限定在 B)once和 C)when 中，但 once 引导时间状语从句时，意为“一旦就”，明显不符合句意。故答案为when。A.propositionsB.predictions C.approvalD.defiance解析：解析 分析句子大意可知，所填词应与 weatherman 构成语义场共现关系，选项中的词符合此要求的只有 predictions。A.whatB.asC.howD.that 解析：解析 分析句子结构可
47、知，所填词应该是引导定语从句，修饰 references to weather，该引导词在定语从句中是充当 make 的宾语，故答案应为 that。A.startedB.conductedC.replaced D.proposed解析：解析 联系下一句可知，本文中的 conversational greetings 指的就是“Good moiaaing，how are you?”，而 comments on the weather 指的就是“Nice day，isnt it?”和“Beautiful!”。通过下句中的 instead of 可知，“Good moiating，how are y
48、ou?”被“Nice day，isnt it?”或“Beautiful!”所 取代。所以由对等关系可知，conversational greetings 被 comments on the weather 所取代，故答案应是 replaced(取代)。A.SinceB.Although C.HoweverD.Only if解析：解析 此从句大意为“外国人或许会认为英国人谈论天气太过夸张或是有点滑稽”；主句大意为“还是值得指出，谈论天气对外国人来说是有好处的”。结合主从句大意明显可知，空格处应是引导让步状语从句的 连词，故答案为 Although。A.Even ifB.BecauseC.If D
49、.For解析：解析 A)Even if 引导让步状语从句，意为“即使”；B)Because 和 D)for 都引导原因状语从句；C)If 引导条件状语从句。结合整句大意可知，空格处应是引导条件状语从句的连词 If。此处是说：如果想要和英国人开始一段谈话，可以从天气谈起。A.but B.andC.orD.therefore解析：解析 空格前说他想要和一个英国人开始交谈，空格后说他不知道(at a loss)从何谈起，显然前后存在转折关系，故答案为 but。A.whereB.whatC.itD.which 解析：解析 分析句子结构可知，空格处应该引导定语从句，修饰 subject，该引导词在从句中是充当主语，故答案应为 which。
