答案详解
1.[D]【解析】介词用法。该题考查了几个相似介词词组的用法。despite意为“尽管,不顾”。as for意思是“至于……,就……而言”。in spite要和of连用,意思与despite相同,besides意为“除……之外,还……”。由此可见只有D项符合该题题意。句意:尽管他生病了,还是参加了这次竞赛。
2.[D]【解析】虚拟条件句。本句中主句的谓语用的是“should+动词原形”,表示与现在事实相反或与将来事实可能相反。根据句子结构和所提供的选择项可知,从句部分省略连接词if,是倒装句,由于句子中的时间状语是tomorrow,所以从句动词应该用与将来事实可能相反的虚拟语气,即“should(were to)+动词原形”。故D项为正确答案。句意:如果明天他们赢了这场比赛,我们将为他们举行一场精彩的晚会。
3.[B]【解析】形近词辨析。continuous指“连续不断的(中间无中断)”;continual意为“经常不断的,常常的(中间可能有间隔)”;constant用来指“习惯性的重复”;contrary意思为“相反的”。因此,正确答案为B项。句意:经常不断的争吵,最终导致那对夫妻离婚。
4.[A]【解析】动词近义词辨析。这四个动词都有形容液体一点点涌出或滴下的意思。但trickle是指“液体缓缓流过或细细流淌”;ooze则强调“液体从小孔中慢慢渗出”;dribble指“液体一点点滴下”;leak指“液体从小洞,裂缝或密封不严的容器中流出”。因此,该题答案为A项。句意:得知丈夫死去的消息后,那妇女哭了,泪水从她脸上流下来。
5.[A]【解析】形近词辨析。四个选项都有“apprecia-”部分,看起来很相似,意思有显著区别。appreciative意思是“欣赏的,有眼力(欣赏力)的”,可用来修饰audience表示“欣赏”,符合该句句意。而appreciating意指“令人欣赏的”;appreciable意思是“可估计的,可感觉到的”;appreciated此处用法也不对。因此,A项为正确答案。句意:礼堂里观众们静静地聆听音乐,看来他们都很欣赏那支曲子。
