1. c
根据课文第3-4行I tried to say something, but my mouth was full of cotton wool可判断只有c. There was something in his mouth最符合课文的真实情况,这也是作者不能讲话的唯一原因,其他3个选择都不是原因,所以只能选c。
2. b
根据课文第8-10行I suddenly felt very worried,…when the dentist at last removed the cotton wool… I was able to tell him that he had pulled out the wrong tooth可以判断b. he thought the dentist had pulled out the wrong tooth 是作者着急的唯一原因,其他3个选择都不是他着急的原因,所以选b。
3. c
只有选c. cannot才能使句子同前一句It is impossible for him to answer.(他是不可能回答的)意义相同,所以c是正确答案。a. might not 与d. may not都不符合题目意思。b. could not时态不对。
4. b
本句是将前一句中表示命令请求的间接引语变成了直接引语(祈使句)。
a. To rest是动词不定式,不能做祈使句的谓语;
c. Do you rest是疑问句,不能表示请求;
d. Resting是动名词也不能做祈使句的谓语;
只有b. Rest可以做祈使句的谓语,所以选b。
5. a
本句是将前一句中的间接疑问句...how my brother was变成直接疑问句,因此时态和语序都要作相应改变。
b. your brother was, c. your brother is都不是疑问句语序,所以都不对。
d. was your brother语序正确,但时态不对:间接引语是过去时,直接引语应该是现在时才正确。只有a. is your brother语序和时态都正确,所以应该选a。
6. c
这是一个疑问句,a. It likes you, b. Does it like you和d. Like you这3个选择都意思不通,不符合题目意思,只有c. Do you like意思通顺,符合疑问句语序,因此只能选c。
7. b
介词by后面加动名词可以表示方式。本句只能选b. nodding(点头),因为它是动名词,可以放在by后面作方式状语。其他3个选择都不能放在介词by后面,所以选b。
8. b
本句需要选一个同前一句中时间短语for a while(一会儿)意义相同的短语。a. quietly(安静地),c. while he spoke to me(当他跟我说话时),d. for a long time(很久)这3个选择都与for a while的意义不符。只有b. for a short time(短时间)同for a while 的含义相同,因此选b。
9. d
a. assembly(集会,聚会),b. gathering(聚集,收集抽象的东西,如消息等),c. congregation(聚集,聚合),d. collection(收集,收藏如邮票,硬币等),只有d最适合这个句子,其他3个选择都不能与火柴盒连用,所以选d。
10. a
前一句I nodded(我点头)表示同意,只有a. agreed(同意)才是这一动作所表达的含义。b. said no(说不),c. shouted(高喊),d. whispered(耳语)这3个选择都不是nodded所表达的含义,所以选a。
11. b
本句需要选出同前一句中的Meanwhile(同时)意义相同的词或短语。
a. However(不过,然而);b. In the mean time(同时);c. Never the less(尽管如此,不过);d. Although(虽然);这4个选择中只有b.同Meanwhile的意义相同,所以选b。
12. c
a. took it off(脱下),b. took it in(理解),c. took it out(取出),和d. took it up(从事于)4个选择中只有c. took it out同前一句He removed the cotton wool from my mouth(他将药棉从我嘴里取出)的含义相同,所以选c。
