1. Whether the viewpoint is right or wrong, it is just ____ opinion.
A. a matter of B. the matter of
C. as a matter of D. no matter what
解析:A 本題考查詞組用法。根據(jù)題意“無論這個觀點是對還是錯,這只是見解問題”??芍獞?yīng)選A。D項no matter what表示“無論什么”,與題意不符。
2. The world ____ seven continents and four oceans.
A. is made of B. is made from C. consists in D. consists of
解析:D 本題考查詞組辨析。題意為“地球是由七大洲和四大洋組成的”。be made of和be made from都表示“用……造成”,只是前者看得出原材料;而后者看不出原材料;consist in表示“存在于”;只有consist of表示“由……組成”,故正確答案為D。
3. As time went by, the thing hardly ____ few.
A. was known to B. was unknown to
C. was famous to D. was well-known to
解析:B 本題考查詞組辨析。題目中的hardly是否定詞,表示“幾乎不”;few也是否定詞,指“很少人或幾乎沒人”,雙重否定表肯定。題意為“隨著時間的流逝,幾乎沒人知道這件事了”。此處表示幾乎沒人知道,因此應(yīng)該用be unknown to,其它三個選項與題意不符。故答案是B。
4. Theory is on the ____ of practice.
A. basis B. beginning C. level D. form
解析:A 本題考查名詞辨析。選項中basis表示“基礎(chǔ),根據(jù)”;beginning表示“開始”;level表示“水平,標準”;form表示“形式”,題意為“理論以實踐為根據(jù)”。
5. The party ____ the singing of Graduation Song.
A. ended up B. ended at
C. ended up in D. ended up with
解析:D 本題考查詞組。選項中A指“結(jié)束”;B指“在……結(jié)束”;C指“以……告終”;D指“以……結(jié)束”。題意為“晚會最后以唱《畢業(yè)歌》而結(jié)束”。
6. Children usually ____ the teachers as their parents in the school.
A. think B. judge C. consider D. feel
解析:C 本題考查動詞用法。根據(jù)題意理解。這里表示把老師當作父母,選項中只有consider與as連用有此意。選項think表示“認為,覺得”;judge表示“判斷”;feel表示“覺得”,都與題意不符題意為“在學校里孩子們通常把老師當成他們的父母”。因此答案是C。
7. Charles Babbage is generally considered ____ the first computer.
A. to invent B. inventing
C. to have invented D. having invented
解析:C 本題考查動詞用法。根據(jù)題意“查爾斯?巴比吉被普遍認為發(fā)明了第一臺計算機”。謂語動詞consider的被動式是be considered to…,因此這里應(yīng)該用動詞不定式,又因為動作是發(fā)生在consider之前,因此要用不定式的完成式,故選C,其他選項與題意不符。
8. The arrival of canals was of great ____ to many industries.
A. price B. cost C. value D. usefulness
解析:C 本題考查“be of+抽象名詞”的用法。這里由“of+抽象名詞”結(jié)構(gòu)作定語相當于一個形容詞,故應(yīng)該用value,其他選項無此用法。
9. The little girl was told not to ____ the strangers.
A. contact B. approach C. reach D. touch
解析:B 此題考查動詞用法。選項中contact表示“接觸,聯(lián)系”,通常與介詞with連用;approach表示“接近,與……打交道”,后面直接跟名詞;reach表示“到達,抵達”;touch表示“接觸”時,要與介詞with連用。題意為“小女孩被告知不要和陌生人打交道”。故選B。
