解析
1. C。正是由于妹妹的电子邮件,才使得他想起了家。warn警告,提醒,告诫;accuse指责,控告;remind使想起;suspect怀疑。这四个词均可与“of”搭配,但仅C符合句意。
2. A。heal不仅可以指伤痛的“愈合,治愈”,也可指情感或情况的“恢复正常”。heal from the shadow“从阴影中走出来”。又如:heal from financial crisis“从金融危机中恢复过来”。
3. C。complete完成,结束;accomplish表成功地“实现、达到”,故C项比A项更合适。command“命令,指挥”和accompany “陪伴,陪同”均不合语意。
4. A。convey传导,传输,表达;acknowledge承认,供认;declare宣布,宣告,声明;assess估计,评估,核定。题意为:基于汉语的“不给力!( ungelivable中国网民自造词)”一词在网上很快风行,它传输了一个信息 —— 汉语也充当着增加英语词汇的角色。这里不是宣告一项重大事件,而只是向人们说明一个情况或现象,故选A而不选C。
5. A。既然承认犯错,那就得承担责任,故assume“假设,承担”符合句意。decline辞谢,谢绝;accept承认,接受;secure握紧,使安全。
6. D。静止或状态动词stand, lie, sit, live…等常构成倒装句。如:In front of the house sat an old lady. Beside our teaching building stands a water tower. East of the town lies a newly-built railway. There lived a great man in our town. A、B、C项均不可用于这种句式。
7. C。在公共场合用手帕捂住口鼻那一定是打喷嚏“sneeze”。
8. C。题意为“尽管多年在国外生活,许多中国人依然遵循着中国的传统习俗”,observe“观察,遵守,遵循”符合句意。
9. D。题意为“如果公共交通收取的费用更合理一些,城市拥堵将可大大缓解”,过去分词charged…“收费, 要价”相当于定语从句that were charged…修饰虚拟条件句中的fares。
10. A。address向……讲话,陈述,处理;avoid避免;create创造,生产;correct改正。文章的作用是陈述事实或向人们介绍情况,故选A。
