　　.單項填空

　　1．My parents________me to go to the theatre with my friends. But I didn't go.

　　A．suggested　 B．persuaded

　　C．advised

　　D．expected

　　答案：C　考查動詞辨析。句意：我父母勸我和朋友一塊兒去看戲，但是我沒有去。advise sb. to do sth. 表示“勸說某人做某事”，不一定成功；persuade sb. to do sth. 表示“說服某人做某事”，勸說成功了。suggest“建議”，后面不能跟不定式作賓補；expect“期待，預料”，不符合語境。

　　2．Talking about the future, I prefer________a businessman ________be an official.

　　A．being; to

　　B．to be; to

　　C．to be; rather than

　　D．being; more than

　　答案：C　考查prefer的用法。prefer to do...rather than do...表示“寧愿做……也不愿做……”。如：I prefer to stay here on my own rather than go there. 我寧愿自己呆在這里，也不去那里。

　　3．—That's a lovely dress. You look good in it.

　　—Really? Thank you. My aunt gave it to me for my birthday, but I don't________the color.

　　A．go in for

　　B．care for

　　C．care about

　　D．concern about

　　答案：B　考查短語辨析。go in for“從事，愛好(表示長期的愛好)”；care for“喜歡，介意”；care about“關心，惦念”；concern多為及物動詞，在be concerned后才跟介詞about, for, with等。從語境看，只有B項合適。

　　4．After she found she had lost the necklace, she and her husband________to find it.

　　A．made up their minds

　　B．made their mind

　　C．had made up ther mind

　　D．had made minds

　　答案：A　考查make up one's mind的用法。句意：當她發現她丟失了項鏈后，她和她丈夫下決心找到它。當主語是復數時，mind后要加-s，即make up one's minds。

　　5．He was watching her doing it with a________look on his face, as if to say that he would not change his mind.

　　A．determining

　　B．determined

　　C．sceptical

　　D．secure

　　答案：B　determined意為“果斷的，堅毅的”。句意：他看著她的舉動，臉上一幅果斷的表情，好像說他不會改變主意。sceptical“懷疑的”；secure“安心的，有把握的”。

　　6．Please ask the lawyer what his________would be to take the case to court.

　　A．fare

　　B．charge

　　C．fee

　　D．expense

　　答案：C　考查名詞辨析。fare指車船費；charge指應付的費用或索取的代價；expense指消費，支出；fee指付給律師、醫生、私人教師或其他腦力勞動者的報酬，以及繳納給公共團體、學校、圖書館、俱樂部的費用等。從句中的lawyer以及將要出庭等來看，用fee合適。

　　7．You have been reading to me________James went out.

　　A．ever than

　　B．ever since

　　C．so far as

　　D．the moment

　　答案：B　考查連詞用法。句意：自從詹姆斯出去后你就一直在給我朗讀。ever since為連詞，主句要用完成時，從句用一般過去時；其中ever是個強化詞，放在since前表強調。

　　8．He tried his best to solve the problem，________difficult it was.

　　A．however

　　B．no matter

　　C．whatever

　　D．although

　　答案：A　考查連詞辨析。however＋adj./adv.＝no matter how＋adj./adv. 引導讓步狀語從句。句意：不論多么難，他都盡全力解決這個問題。

　　9．The old man insisted that I__________his wallet and that I________to the police station with him.

　　A．had taken; go

　　B．take; should go

　　C．would take; had gone

　　D．should take; go

　　答案：A　考查insist接從句的用法。insist作“堅持，主張”講時，從句用虛擬語氣，即“(should)do sth.”；作“堅持認為”，即堅持事實時，為陳述語氣，應根據實際情況選用合適的時態。

　　10．Our teacher insisted that the key words worth paying attention________before class.

　　A．be underlined

　　B．being underlined

　　C．to be underlinedD．to being underlined

　　答案：C　考查句子的理解和insist的用法。句意：我們老師堅持要求把值得注意的關鍵詞語在課前劃出來。句中worth paying attention to是形容詞短語作后置定語；insist在此意思是“堅持，堅持認為”，所以所接that從句中應該用“should＋動詞原形”的虛擬語氣，此處should被省略，所以用be underlined。

　　11．—Good-bye! I'm going back to my hometown this afternoon.

　　—________

　　A．Have a nice trip.

　　B．Congratulations!

　　C．Take your time.

　　D．I couldn't agree more.

　　答案：A　考查交際用語。句意：——再見！今天下午我要回家鄉看看。——旅途愉快。have a nice trip“旅途愉快”。congratulations“恭喜”；take your time“不著急，慢慢來”；I couldn't agree more“我非常同意”。

　　12．(2024·濰坊期末)—Anna，where________you________with so many things in your hands?

　　—To my office. It has been moved to the third floor.

　　A. are；headingB. will; head

　　C．have；headed

　　D. do; head

　　答案：A　考查時態。句意：——安娜，手里拿著這么多東西，你要去哪兒？——去辦公室。它已經搬到了三樓上。由句意可知，選現在進行時表將來。

　　13．(2024·太原調研)—What a hard chair!

　　—Yes, it is.But in fact, it is very comfortable to________.

　　A.sit B.sit on

　　C.be sat D.be sat on

　　答案：B　考查主動表被動。comfortable是形容詞，后面的不定式應該用主動表被動，所以排除C、D兩項；再由句意可知，介詞on不能沒有。

　　14．(2024·瀘州一診)Although Jane agrees with me mostly, there was indeed something she was unwilling to________.

　　A．give inB.give out

　　C.give away

　　D.give off

　　答案：A　考查動詞短語。句意：雖然簡在很大程度上同意我的話，但是事實上在某些方面她絕不會讓步。give in“讓步，屈服”；give out“分發，耗盡”；give away“捐贈，泄漏”；give off“發出(氣味、聲音、光等)”。
