参考答案与解析
67. B。 主句和从句是因果关系,应选择表示因果关系的连词,即"因为大多数人离家太远,所以他们被迫自己安排午餐"。as这里作"因为"讲。
68. C。 注意as引导从句的too...to结构,句意:“离家太远无法回家吃午饭”,选择介词for符合此意,go back for lunch“ 回家吃午饭”。
69. A。make arrangement for是固定搭配,意即:"对……作安排"。
70. A。 前面已经提及大公司餐厅,随即再介绍这些餐厅的情况,应该选择指示的形容词such“那样的,如此的”;如果选same,那么空格前应该有定冠词the,而且不符合上下文意思。
71. D but表示转折,所填词的意思与plain“简单的”相对。食堂里面供应的饭菜多虽比较简单,但还算充足。D项adequate"充足的"正确。
72. B。 variety of为固定搭配,意为"不同种类",在这里指就餐的人可以有不同的选择;A项difference用在这里指选择不同。而文章实质是强调有不同的饭菜可供选择,而并不是强调选择的不同。
73. C。 主语是number,谓语动词应使用第三人称单数。
74. A。 fetch…from… 意为“从……取……”,是指就餐的人从餐桌自己拿盘子。
75. B。 次空前的they指的是前文提到的employees, 此句用的是被动语态。就餐人员自己从餐桌取饭菜, 因此选择served。
76. C。 简单定语从句。tray意为“托盘”,就餐的人能在托盘上(on which)放刀,叉等餐具。
77. A 。and用于连接并列的宾语。空前列举的是餐具,空后列举的是食物,所列举的东西都是托盘上所放的东西。
78. C。 consist of为固定搭配,意为"由……组成"。餐厅里的食物不贵,而且有汤,鱼和土豆条或是肉和蔬菜。
79. A。 with fruit,即主食(meat and two vegetables)加上水果。
80. B。 此处of与名词连用,表示具有某种性质、状态,作后置定语,a pudding of some sort as dessert意为"作为饭后甜点的某种布丁"。some sort意为"某种"。
81. D。provide sb. with sth.意为“为某人提供什么东西”,没有餐厅的公司会为员工提供午餐券。
82. B。 in place of意为"代替",文中的意思是"用餐券代替现金"。
83. C。 at work为固定搭配,意为"在工作中的"。为介词短语作后置定语,修饰主语people。
84. D。 这里只表示一种可能性。因此选择may。一顿饭可能会花掉很少或很多的钱。
85. A 。depending on除了表示"依赖于",此处表示"取决于",这里表示"取决于选择的饭店和食物"。
86. A。 后文说人们看在酒吧里也能吃顿小事。与前文在逻辑上表示递进关系,因此选择moreover“而且”。
