1. He spoke so fast that it was difficult ____.
A. to take notes B. to take notes of
B. to take note of D. make notes
解析:A 本题考查动词词组的搭配。句意为“他说得太快了很难做记录”。take notes意为“做记录;做笔记”;题中做记录的内容没说,故B项中of多余;C项表达形式有误;D项缺少不定式to。故A项正确。
2. He studied hard, ____ the exam.
A. aim at B. aiming at passing
C. aiming passing D. aim to passing
解析:B 本题考查动词短语的搭配。句意为“他努力学习,目的在于要通过考试”。aim at意为“目的在于”,其后接名词或v-ing形式。本句中aiming at passing the exam为现在分词短语作状语。故选B。
3. Washington, a state in the United States, was named ____ one of the greatest American presidents.
A. in honour of
B. instead of C. in favour of
D. by means of
解析:A 本题考查介词短语的辨析。句意为“华盛顿——美国的一个州,是为了纪念美国最伟大的总统之一华盛顿而命名的”。in honour of意为“为了纪念……”,符合题意。故选A。而B项意为“代替”;C项意为“赞成”;D项意为“通过……的方法;凭借……的手段”,均不合题意。
4. He left his homeland, ____ never ____ back again.
A. determined; to come B. being determined; to come
C. determined; coming D. determine; coming
解析:A 本题考查动词形式及其搭配。句意为“他离开家乡,决心再也不回来了”。determine作动词,表示“决定”。常用词组be determined to do/that,意为“下决心做某事”,相当于make up ones mind to do sth.。determined never to come back again作伴随状语,说明he当时的决心已定,相当于并列谓语即and was determined never to come back again,而且determine后只能接不定式作宾语。故选A。
5. The man insisted ____ a taxi for me even though I told him I lived nearby.
A. find B. to find C. on finding D. in finding
解析:C 本题考查动词搭配。insist on doing sth.为固定搭配。故选C。句意为“那个人坚持要给我找辆出租车尽管我告诉他我住在附近”。
6. He insisted ____ at once, but I refused.
A. me to start B. on us to start
C. that I would start D. that I start
解析:D 本题考查insist的用法。insist意为“坚持说,坚决主张;坚决认为”时,所接宾语从句不用虚拟语气;意为“坚持;坚决要求”时,宾语从句用“should+动词原形”,should可省略。故本题选D。句意为“他坚决要求我立刻走,但是我拒绝了”。
7. People lined up and entered the hall ____.
A. in turn B. by turns C. turning D. with turn
解析:A 本题考查固定搭配。句意为“人们排好队依次进入大厅”。in turn为固定搭配,意为“依次,一个一个地”;而by turns意为“轮流;交替”;with turn是错误表达。故选A。
8. The conference has been held to discuss the effects of tourism ____ the wildlife in the area.
A. in B. on C. at D. with
解析:B 本题考查名词与介词的搭配。“对……产生影响”应表达为have an effect on…应用介词on或upon。
