17. The black horse is _____ of the pair .
A. the strongest B. the stronger C. the strong D. quite strong
答案是B项。英语表示"两里择一的那一个更…"的名词前的比较级前面应该使用定冠词the。pair的词义是"一对"或"一双",此处的the pair 的词义是two horses fastened side by side to a cart (两匹套在车辕的马)。因此,此处应该使用the stronger 。
16. ______ professional violinist practises for several hours a day , but ______ violinist has his own way of playing the Beethoven concert .
A. Each , every B. Every ; each C. All ; every D. Either ; every
答案是B项。虽然every与each在汉语中的词意是:"每一个",但这两个代词的内涵不完全一样。every与all含义很接近,如:He has read every book / all books on the subject . (有关这个科目的书籍他全都读过了。)英文中常用every进行概括,强调事物或人的总体性,而each则表示个别概念,当我们说each violinist时,我们想到的是每个不同的人做着不同的事。又如:We want every child to succeed , however each child will find his or her own personal road to success . (我们希望每个孩子都能成功,然而每个孩子将会找到他或她个人的成功之路。)
15. Mr. Zhang gave all the textbooks to all the pupils , except _____ who had already taken them .
答案是C项。one本来是数词,但也可用作不定代词,代替前面刚提到的一个东西或人,避免重复前面刚提到的名词,有时one可以有自己的定语或冠词,甚至可以有复数形式,如:I don't like these pink shirts . Will you please show me the white ones ? (我不喜欢这些粉色的衬衣,请您把那些白色的衬衣拿给我看看好吗?)
14. Besides Tom , ______ Crosettes have two other sons , ______ of whom are all interested in making model planes .
A.不填;two B. 不填;the two C. the ; three D. the ; the three
答案是D项。在英语的姓氏前使用定冠词,表示的是这个姓氏的一家人或这个姓氏的夫妇;"the + 数词 + of + 代词"这一结构表示该代词的总数是前面的数词表示的数量,而"数词+of+代词"结构中的代词表示的量肯定大于前面数词表示的数量,试比较:the five of us (我们这五个人,us表示的就是五个人)而five of us (我们中的五个人,us表示的数量肯定要多于五个人)。
13. Shortly after the accident , two ______ police were sent to the spot to keep order .
A. dozens of B. dozens C. dozen of D. dozen
答案是D项。英语中一些表示数字的名词的前面如果用了数词,这些名词必须是单数形式,如dozen(一打),score(二十)和head (头) 等,例如:另外两打鸡蛋another two dozen eggs ; 八十七年前four score and seven years ago ; 五十五头牲口fifty-five head of cattle 。但是如果这些名词用来虚指某些可数名词时,这些名词呈复数形式,其后更加上介词of例如:dozens of pencils (几十支铅笔)和scores of tame birds (几十只家禽)。
12. My dictionary ________ . I have looked for it everywhere but still ______ it .
A. has lost ; do not find B. is missing ; do not find
C. has lost ; have not found D. is missing ; have not found
答案是D项。lose是个及物动词,如果要表示某物丢失了,只能用被动语态。A项与C项使用的都是其主动形式。missing是形容词,其词义是:lost ; not to be found (丢失了的),据此,第一空缺处应填入is missing。根据语境,第二个空缺处应填使用现在完成时的否定形式,因为它可以表示目前还未发生的动作。
11. The news about the terrible flood there greatly discouraged ______ these for a sight-seeing .
A. us from going B. us to go C. our going D. our to go
答案是A项。discourage与encourage互为反义词。英语中说"鼓励某人做某事"时使用encourage sb to do sth , 但如果要表示"使某人没勇气做某事"时,不能想当然的以此类推:discourage sb to do sth , 这是不符合英语习惯的错误表达方式,其正确形式是:discourage sb from doing sth 。
10. He's unlucky , and he's always suffering _____ luck one after another .
A. a sick B. an ill C. sick D. ill
答案是D项。英语中的名词有可数与不可数之分,luck是不可数名词,用来修饰贬意的luck形容词有bad,poor或ill,这时ill的词义是:不好的。
9. Our decision _____ was wise .
A. of waiting B. to wait C. for waiting D. to be waiting
答案是B项。英语中一些名词总与不定式连用,如:decision , wish 与 refusal等,使用这些名词与使用它们的动词形式表达的内容是一致的,请看下面三组例句:我们决定等待是明智的。
His wish to succeed is probable.
他希望成功,有可能。
Her refusal to help surprised us greatly.
她拒绝帮忙,使我们感到意外。
8. I'll have you ______ English in six months .
A. speaking B. speak C. spoken D. be able to speak
答案是A项。"have +宾语+doing"这一结构有以下五种用法。(1)用来表示我们一心要取得的效果,如:He promised to have me swimming across the river in two weeks' time . (他答应在两周之内使我能游过那条河。);(2)用来表示使宾语持续做某事,如:In cold winter we always have the fire burning day and night . (在冬天,我们总是让火日以继夜地燃烧着。);(3)用来表示不想发生的后果,如:Don't shout ! You will have the neighbors complaining ! (别大声嚷嚷!你会使邻居有意见的!);(4)用来表示说话人控制不了的情况,如:We have salesmen or saleswomen calling every day . (我们每天都得任凭推销员们的造访。);(5)这一结构前如用can not 或won't,则表示"不能/愿容忍"宾语做某事,如:I won't / can not have you speaking like that about your father . (我不允许/不能容忍你那样无礼貌地谈论你自己的父亲。)
