答案详解
1.[D]【解析】名词词义辨析。penalty意为“罚款,处罚”;a financial penalty是“经济处罚”的意思;option意为“选项,买卖权,期权;履行契约权”;duty意为“关税”;obligation意为“契约,责任”。因此,D项是正确答案。句意:足联考虑采取经济处罚作为惩罚球队的一种适当措施。
2.[D]【解析】形近词辨析。这是一道词形干扰题。grumble意为“抱怨”,与about连用;tumble表示“跌倒”;ramble意为“漫步”;stumble意为“绊倒”。因此答案是D项。句意:英国人常抱怨天气,但实际上并不在意气候,只不过是由于他们喜欢发牢骚罢了。
3.[D]【解析】固定搭配。furnish with意为“向……提供,给予”。rectify意为“调整,校正”;prolong意为“延长,拖延”;minimize意为“使减到最少,使缩到最小”,此三词均不与with连用。因此D项是正确答案。句意:阅读仅仅提供给我们知识的原材料;只有思考才能使我们真正领会所读的东西。
4.[A]【解析】动词词组。get around to sth./doing sth.意为“最终做某事(尽管你不太愿意做或者因为太忙没能做)”;get about意为“走动,旅行”;get through为“办完,通过”;get over为“爬过,克服,做完”。后三项后均不接介词to。因此答案是A项。句意:洗完衣服后,我会着手熨的。
5.[C]【解析】动词词组。call for意为“邀请”,符合句意。call on意为“看望,拜访,号召”,call off意为“取消,停止”;call up意为“打电话;使某人想起;召集”均与句子意思不符。因此C项是正确答案。句意:布朗先生邀请我们周末共进晚餐。
