题型有:1.
1. Email newsletter marketing is more cost-effective than ______ any other form of marketing that a firm does.
A.really B.utterly C.practically D.specially
正确答案:C
解析:句意:电子邮件时事通讯营销比几乎所有形式的销售都赢利。practically几乎,简直,差不多,常用于口语,意同“almost”或是“nearly”。utterly完全地。specially特别地。只有C选项符合题意。
2. I think my problems at work ______ the fact that I never really wanted to go into accountancy as a career.
A.bring back B.stir up C.lie behind D.spring from
正确答案:D 解析:句意:我想我工作中的问题来自于我从来没有真正想过要从事会计这项职业。spring from来自于,来源于。bring back使恢复,使记起。stir up激起,唤起。lie behind是…的原因(理由)。
3. People carry out much of their commerce here, ______ selling vegetables, serving locals meals or running, a hair salon.
A.was it B.it is C.it being D.be it
正确答案:D
解析:be it此处有“不管是…,还是…”以及“包括”的意思。was it时态与主句的carry不一致,可以排除。选择it is会使一个句子里有两个主语(people和it),也可以排除。it being用于构成独立主格,而此句两个分句的主语是一样的,也可以据此排除选项C。只有选项D是正确的。
4. Much as______, I couldn’t lend him the money because I simply didn’t have that much spare cash.
A.I would have liked to B.I would like to have C.I should have to like D.I should have liked to
正确答案:A
解析:尽管我愿意帮忙,但我却不能借给他钱,只因为我没有那么多余款。would like to do sth想要做某事,愿意做某事,主句为过去时态,故使用would have liked to。B项have的位置不正确;C项D项中的should表示“本应该做某事”,与语境不符合。
5. —I don’ t like to complain, but I bought this camera last week and it’ s stopped working.—Hum—yes, it’ s faulty. Do you have your receipt? We can either exchange the camera or offer you a credit note. You can use it for anything in the shop.—No,______.—I’ m afraid that isn’t our company policy, sir.—But it is the law—and I’m a law student. So refund my money or I’ 11 see you in court. OK?
A.I’d rather have a refund B.I’d like a new camera C.there must be a discount D.I must get something free
正确答案:A
解析:顾客买的相机坏了,想要退款,服务员不同意,说可以换,或给他保值单据,买其他东西。顾客称若他们不满足要求,就要上诉,坚持要退款。由“refund my money”,推导出前面是索要退款。B项“要新的相机”、C项“要折扣”、D项“要免费的东西”都不符合语境。
6. Don’t be quick to dismiss a principle simply because, at first glance, it appears to be______ your own beliefs or impossible to apply in your own situation.
A.in contrast to B.consistent with C.at odds with D.identical to
正确答案:C
解析:句意:对于一个原则,不要仅因为一眼看去它似乎和你的想法不同或者不适用于你的情况,便将其迅速否定。线索词or提示,其后内容相关或相近。at odds with与…不一致。in contrast to与…形成对照。consistent with与…一致。identical to和…相同。因此,符合句意的只有C项。

D.Where could we find a new bulb?
正确答案:A

正确答案:C
解析:句意:地方电视台周日播出的电视访谈中,政府官员提到,此次抗议已经持续了三个星期……第一个空在定语从句中作“电视访谈”的谓语,根据下旬政府官员谈话的动词时态(said)可知,此处应用一般过去时。第二个空定语从句谓语last作“持续”讲时为不及物动词,因此此处不用被动语态。
12. The official kiln in ancient China gathered the most skilled______and used a strict manufacturing process, ______represented the highest level of porcelain making at that time.
A.craftsmen: which B.bricklayers: who C.craftsmen: who D.bricklayers: which
正确答案:A
解析:句意:中国古代官窑聚集了最有技术的工匠,其严格的制造工艺,代表了当时制瓷的最高水平。craftsman工匠;手艺人。bricklayer砖匠。第二个空定语从句的先行词为“制造工艺”,所以关系代词应用which。
13. You had better______me about the reason for your dismissal. A.level off B.level at C.level with D.level up

A.Do you know when to expect him? B.Do you have a reservation? C.How long will he work there? D.I’ll be here tomorrow morning.
正确答案:A
解析:对话中Ms.Zellinger想要和Joseph Abernathy通话,但接线员表示他目前不在。后文接线员表示“他应该会在下午三点左右回来”。由此可知Ms.Zellinger应该询问了Joseph回来的可能时间。A项最符合情景。
