請從以下四個選項中選出最符合題目意思的一個選項：

　　It is only when you nearly lose someone _____ fully conscious of how much you value him. A. do you becomeB. then you becomeC. that you becomeD. have you become

　　參考答案：C. that you become

　　解析：這題相對來說比較簡單，檢測的是強調(diào)句型句It is .....that。不過，這里有一個干擾項，即是所強調(diào)的時間狀語部分前有一個副詞only。這很容易讓人以為有only的話，就要有一個倒裝句式，而選項就有可能是A。不過，在強調(diào)句里，only when這個狀語從句只是在形式上做表語，因此，整個句子的順序回變回了正常情況了。

　　請從以下四個選項中找出符合句子意思的一個選項：

　　Most tiny houses are __________ for middle-class and wealthy families who made a conscious decision to “build better, not bigger”. A. addressedB. reconciled C. tailored D. weighed

　　參考譯文：C. tailored

　　解析：從題目的意思來看，tiny house的建筑理念是“高級的住宅，不大的房子”，而面向的對象是中產(chǎn)階段(middle-class)和富裕家族(wealthy family)。這讓房子有精準(zhǔn)的建造定位以及精準(zhǔn)目標(biāo)群體。而這四個選項里，只要tailor(量身訂制)能體現(xiàn)上述的情況。Weigh的意思是“認(rèn)真考慮;權(quán)衡;斟酌”，即If you weigh the facts about a situation, you consider them very carefully before you make a decision, especially by comparing the various facts involved. 例如：He is weighing the possibility of filing criminal charges against the doctor./他正在仔細(xì)考慮對那個醫(yī)生提起刑事訴訟的可能性。Address，用作動詞時的意思是“對付;處理;設(shè)法了解并解決”，即If you address a problem or task or if you address yourself to it, you try to understand it or deal with it. 例如：Mr King sought to address those fears when he spoke at the meeting./金先生在會上講話時試圖消除那些恐懼。Reconcile一詞在作動詞時，有一個意思是“順從;接受;將就”，即If you reconcile yourself to an unpleasant situation, you accept it, although it does not make you happy to do so. 例如：She had reconciled herself to never seeing him again. /她說服了自己永遠(yuǎn)不再和他見面。

　　請從以下四個選項中挑出最符合句子意思的一個選項：

　　He always takes ____ at the slightest criticism. A. annoyanceB. irritationC. offenceD. resentment

　　參考答案：b.

　　解析：這一題其實是一個take+名詞方式，不過，可以理解成一個動作的表述，即將四個選項變成四個動詞。從句子意思的角度，他會對即便是最輕微的批評做出反應(yīng)。由于有always和slightest，從語義的角度來理解，他的這種反應(yīng)是很強烈的，那么，這四個名詞里，“生氣”或“惱火”的程度最高的，自然就是選項“C. irritation”，即Irritation is a feeling of annoyance, especially when something is happening that you cannot easily stop or control. 例如：For the first time Leonard felt irritation at her methods./倫納德這還是頭一次對她的方法感到惱怒。同時，在后接介詞 at 的詞，也只有irritation。不過，resentmetn也有類似“憤慨”和“憎恨”的意思，即Resentment is bitterness and anger that someone feels about something. 不過，以名詞形式出現(xiàn)時，更多地還是用express或cause來引導(dǎo)，例如：She expressed resentment at being interviewed by a social worker./她表達(dá)了對被一位社工采訪的憤恨。But the problems of inflation and unemployment still cause a lot of resentment./但是通貨膨脹和失業(yè)問題仍然激起了很多人的怨恨。

　　請從以下四個選項中挑出最符合句子要求的選項：

　　Without facts, one cannot form a worthwhile opinion, for he needs to have factual knowledge __________ his thinking. 　 A. to base on whichB. which to be based onC. upon which to base D. which to base upon

　　參考答案：C. upon which to base

　　解析：這一題挺有挑戰(zhàn)性的。首先，從四個選項來分析，主要是一個定語從句的句子結(jié)構(gòu)，可以理解為his thinking based on/upon factual knowledge的句式。不過，問題在于，當(dāng)which指代factual knowledge時，在定語從句里，which是做什么成份呢?主語，還是賓語?而且base 是主動語態(tài)，還是被主語態(tài)?當(dāng)我們定下這個定語的從句的時候，我們可以確認(rèn)的是，which指代的是factual knowledge，而his thinking 則是base on/upon which。不過，很顯然，這個定語從句是沒有謂語的，因為這里用了一個特別的句型，即“緊縮定語從句“——當(dāng)引導(dǎo)定語從句的關(guān)系代詞用作介詞的賓語時，有時可用“介詞+關(guān)系代詞+不定式”的結(jié)構(gòu)來簡化定語從句。也就是說，這一句，upon + which + to base his thinking就用到了這個句型。
