請(qǐng)從以下四個(gè)選項(xiàng)里挑出最符合句子意思的一個(gè)：

　　The professor’s dedication to ___ earned him the respect of both his colleagues and students.

　　A. teach

　　C. being taught

　　B. be taught

　　D. teaching

　　參考答案：D. teaching

　　解析：這一題的關(guān)鍵在于如何分析成分，即如何將主謂賓區(qū)分好，這樣才有利于將選項(xiàng)中的干擾項(xiàng)剔除。在題里，The professor's dedication 是主語，earned是謂語，him是賓語，the respect of both his colleagues and students是補(bǔ)語。dedication to sth是一個(gè)固定搭配，即“致力于……”, 其中to是介詞，后接名詞。在這四個(gè)選項(xiàng)里，being taught 和teaching可視作是動(dòng)名詞。不過，從語義關(guān)系來看， professor是teaching的邏輯主語，而being taught則不合。

　　請(qǐng)從以下四個(gè)選項(xiàng)里選出符合句子意思的一項(xiàng)：

　　The public opinion was that the time was not ___ for the election of such a radical candidate as Mr. Jones.

　　A. practical

　　B. ripe

　　C. ready

　　D. reasonable

　　參考答案：B. ripe

　　解析：這題在做選項(xiàng)判斷時(shí)，主要的意思在the time is ___for上，即語法層面是一個(gè)搭配。從意思上的理解來看，對(duì)于公眾選如Jones這樣的激進(jìn)(radical)候選人的時(shí)機(jī)是什么呢?那么，先排除的是pratical 和reasonable，理由是這兩個(gè)詞的邏輯主語不會(huì)是time，而是election，即用it is not pratical/reasonable to elect。在ripe和ready之間，the time is ripe是一個(gè)固定搭配，即If you say the time is ripe, you mean that a suitable time has arrived for something to be done. 例如：He told reporters that he thought the time was ripe for a normalisation of relations./他告訴記者他認(rèn)為是時(shí)候恢復(fù)兩國(guó)間正常關(guān)系。對(duì)于ready for的用法，意思是“(物品)準(zhǔn)備好的”，“(人)準(zhǔn)備就緒的”，即If someone is ready, they are properly prepared for something. If something is ready, it has been properly prepared and is now able to be used. 例如：The cocaine was ready for distribution. /那些可卡因已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好進(jìn)行分銷了。

　　請(qǐng)從以下四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中挑出最符合句子意思的一個(gè)：

　　The boy's _____ behavior made his parents uneasy. He rushed to open doors and bowed to everyone coming in, apologizing unnecessarily for any inconvenience that he might have caused.

　　A. oblivious

　　B. observant

　　C. obsequious

　　D. obsolescent

　　參考譯文：C. obsequious

　　解析：這一題以四個(gè)字形相似的方式來干擾判斷。對(duì)四個(gè)詞的意思不是很了解，希望通過詞綴法(ob-)來解題的同學(xué)來說，確實(shí)會(huì)是不小的難度。反之，如果對(duì)這四個(gè)選項(xiàng)詞都很了解的話，就一點(diǎn)難度都沒有了。對(duì)于這種有干擾選項(xiàng)的題目，要反其道而行之——先理解句子語義，再分析各個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思，做出決定。句子的意思是小男孩有一種讓家長(zhǎng)難堪的行為舉止——有人來了，主動(dòng)開門，并鞠躬致敬，并會(huì)對(duì)他的任何讓人會(huì)感覺不便的行為表示道歉。那么這是一種什么行為呢?句子里有一個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞可以作為解題的引子，就是unnecessarily, 不必要的。那么，這四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，有那個(gè)詞是與之相似或相呢? obsequious的意思是“奉承拍馬的，卑躬屈膝的; 諂媚的;” 即If you describe someone as obsequious, you are criticizing them because they are too eager to help or agree with someone more important than them. 例如：Barrow was positively obsequious to me until he learnt that I too was the son of a labouring man. /巴羅竭力討好我，直到得知我也是工人家庭出身。

　　請(qǐng)從以下四個(gè)選項(xiàng)里找出符合句子意思的一個(gè)選項(xiàng)：

　　The day's work __, Mary and Carl are playing cards.

　　A. are done

　　B. done

　　C. should have left

　　D. could have left

　　參考答案：B. done

　　解析：這一題看上去似乎不合語法，前半句是一個(gè)名詞詞組，后半句是一個(gè)主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu)，那么空格里是什么詞，才能讓這個(gè)句子符合語法規(guī)則呢?在英文句子里，有一種成份，叫做“獨(dú)立主格”以短語形式存在，但與全句的邏輯主語存在某種關(guān)系。在本題里，the day's work與Mary and Carl 是什么關(guān)系呢?很明顯是Mary and Carl do the day's work。那么，用被動(dòng)語態(tài)句式的話，就是The day's work is done by Mary and Carl. 于是乎，前半個(gè)句子就應(yīng)該是Since/As the day's work has been done by Mary and Carl, and Mary and Carl are playing cards. 如此的話，這一句很明顯是啰嗦和冗長(zhǎng)的。出于簡(jiǎn)潔之要，前半句縮寫成The day's work done, Mary and Carl are laying the cards。
