答案详解
1.[C]【解析】动词词义辨析。根据句子意思推断,此处应指海水退潮,因此选项A和D都不符合句意。而conceded,receded都有后退的意思,但concede含有“让步、退让”的意思,一般指人;指潮水退潮、记忆减退等一般用recede。故C项为正确答案。句意:海水退潮了,海滩上留下了许多美丽的贝壳。
2.[B]【解析】动词词义辨析。根据句意推断,此处指“希望逐渐消失”。reduce的意思是“减少”;faint指“逐渐变得微弱,尤其指光线”;shrink指“缩小、退缩”;fade有“逐渐消失、衰弱”的意思,因此B项符合该句句意。句意:找到失踪旅客的希望开始变得渺茫。
3.[D]【解析】动词词组。此题考查dress与介词构成的动词词组。dress for指“穿上夜礼服去参加……”;dress up意为“(给……)穿上盛装或乔装打扮”;dress out无此词组。dress down有“狠狠地训斥(或揍)某人”的意思,因此,D项符合该句句意。句意:汤姆书写潦草,受到老师的严厉批评。
4.[C]【解析】固定词组。in black and white“纸载笔写,白纸黑字”;black and blue意为“伤痕累累,青一块,紫一块”;red and blue与green and yellow不是固定词组。因此,C项为正确答案。句意:我老板坚持一切都弄清楚之后,再做决定。
5.[C]【解析】固定搭配。此题考查动词的固定搭配。根据题意可知此处意思应是“绕道”,只有make a detour具有此习惯用法,其他表达都不正确。故C项为正确答案。句意:警察告诉我们前面公路上因交通事故道路被堵塞,所以我们不得不绕道而行。
