請從以下四個選項里選出最符合題意的一個選項：
While most people would _____ at the prospect of so much work, Daniels seems to positively enjoy it.
A. accentuate
B. collate
C. dehumanize
D. blanch
D. blanch
解析：這一題里，四個選項詞似乎都需要通過放到整個句子里，才能通曉其具體的意思。首先，這句話的意思是，Daniels和most people的觀點并不是一樣的，他的態(tài)度是positively enjoy it。也就是說，Daniel對于the prospect of so much work并不是很在意。相對應的，most people的關注點則在于so much work。那么，哪個詞是與“不感興趣”或與之相近的詞呢?第一個可以淘汰的是兩個詞，就是選項C. dehumanize，一個de+human+ize的組合，則很明顯是“去人類化”或“非人類化"。選項B. collate也不是很合適，因為它的意思是“校對;核對;�？�;整理”，即When you collate pieces of information, you gather them all together and examine them. 例如：Roberts has spent much of his working life collating the data on which the study was based./羅伯茨的很大一部分工作時間都是在核對研究所需的數(shù)據(jù)。又如：They have begun to collate their own statistics on racial abuse./他們已經(jīng)開始整理自己有關種族歧視的統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)。
對于選項A. accentuate, 似乎與句子的意思比較接近，是"強調(diào);加重;使更明顯"的意思，即To accentuate something means to emphasize it or make it more noticeable. 例如：The whole air of menace was accentuated by the fact that he was so cordial and soft-voiced./他如此親切，說話輕聲細語，這更加重了威脅的語氣。不過，考慮到Daniels enjoys it，則在對比程度上弱了很多，不是最佳的答案。
最后要選的就是選項D. blanch。這個詞很有意思，有兩個完全不相關的意思。它的的一個意思與“變白”有關，“突然變得煞白”，即If you blanch, you suddenly become very pale. 例如：His face blanched as he looked at Sharpe's blood-drenched uniform./他一看到夏普浸滿鮮血的制服，臉色頓時變得煞白。當然，這里的變白不是顏色的變化，而是一種心理的變。進而，它引申出了的另一個意思，就是心理變化引發(fā)的行動——“退縮;回避”,即If you say that someone blanches at something, you mean that they find it unpleasant and do not want to be involved with it. 例如：Everything he had said had been a mistake. He blanched at his miscalculations./他所說的一切都是錯的。他回避了自己的判斷錯誤。又如：There are places you can take physically handicapped children where staff don't blanch at the sight of a wheelchair./有些地方你能帶殘疾兒童去，那里的工作人員不會一看到輪椅就退縮。
請從以下四個選項里選出最符合題意的一個選項：
You will see this product _______ whereever you go.
A. to be advertised
B. advertised
C. advertise
D. advertising
參考答案：A. to be advertised
解析：首先，四個選項里的詞與其之前product一詞是什么關系呢?這是要選一個后置定語。不過，是要選擇過去分詞，還是現(xiàn)在分詞呢?從語義理解來看，advertise與所修飾的名詞product之間是受動關系，即product是advertise的受動者，而不是施動者，要用過去分詞形式，即產(chǎn)品“被”宣傳。不過，決定選擇哪個選項的，應該是主句里的時態(tài)——一般將來時。也就是說，這是一個未來要發(fā)生的事，即產(chǎn)品的宣這傳工作現(xiàn)在還沒有開始。因此，this product will be advertised everywhere you go。作為后置定語短語，則要用不定式來表示，to be advertised。
請從以下四個選項里選最符合題意的一個選項：
Many Americans think a national committee should be formed to discuss _____ to existing mass transit system.
A. alterations
B. alternations
C. attendants
D. alternatives
參考答案：11月18日北京南邊的一工業(yè)區(qū)發(fā)生火災，燒死了19人，其中有17人是外來務工人員。之后，新一輪的外來人員驅(qū)趕行動開始。北京官方宣布展開為期四十天的打擊“違建”行動，因為多年來，有數(shù)百萬外來務工人員居住在這些違章建筑內(nèi)。他們有的在開餐館、有的送快遞、有的在工地干活，有的開小賣部或是一些工廠小老板。
解析：四個選項里，選項A、B、D有一個共同的詞綴，即 alter，意思是other/to change，"其他的，改變狀態(tài)"。不過，這三個選項的意思并不一樣。選項A. Alteration的意思是“更改、變動”，即An alteration is a change in or to something. 例如：Making some simple alterations to your diet will make you feel fitter./對日常飲食做些簡單的調(diào)整就會讓你身體更健康。The structural alterations made to the house were planned with Gail's help./對房屋結(jié)構(gòu)調(diào)整的規(guī)劃是在蓋爾的幫助下完成的。選項B. alternation是動詞alternate的名詞形式，有“交替、輪流”的意思，之外，其自身就是一個名詞，就是“代替者;候補者”，即An alternate is a person or thing that replaces another, and can act or be used instead of them. 例如：In most jurisdictions, twelve jurors and two alternates are chosen. /大多數(shù)轄區(qū)都會選出12名陪審員和2名候補陪審員。The six food groups include grain products, vegetables, fruits, milk and milk products, meats and meat alternates, and a miscellaneous group./6類食物包括谷類產(chǎn)品、蔬菜、水果、牛奶和奶制品、肉類和肉類替代品以及雜類食品。在美式英語里，alternative作為名詞，在表示同樣的意思是，是可以與alternate一樣地用的。不過，選項D形式上看似是一個形容詞，不過卻也有名詞的形式，因而也可以用以復數(shù)形式，alternatives的意思是“可供替代的”，即If one thing is an alternative to another, the first can be found, used, or done instead of the second. 例如：New ways to treat arthritis may provide an alternative to painkillers. 關節(jié)炎的新療法可能是止痛藥之外的另一種選擇。也就是說，alternation并沒有“替代者“的意思，而只有“輪流”的意思。這個通常是我們很容易在選擇時，做出錯誤選項的一個點。
請從以下四個選項里選最符合題意的一個選項：
____ exeterted by tormados that they have been known to lift railroad locomotives off their tracks.
A. The great force is
B. How great is the force
C. The force is so great
D. So great is the force
參考答案：D. So great is the force
解析：這一題其實是要準確地找出so……that的句型，以及倒閉句的正確的用法。如果我們用陳述句來表述這個句子，就應該是The force exeterted by tormados is so great that they have been known to lift railroad locomotives off their tracks. 不過，為了強調(diào)the force大的程度，將so great放在句首了，則要用一個倒裝句的方式來呈現(xiàn)。同樣的句子如：So cold was the weather that we had to stay at home. /天氣太冷，我們只好呆在家里。此外，還有so修飾副詞并用于倒裝強調(diào)的情況，如So much did they eat that they could not move for the next hour. /他們吃得太多了，一個小時都動彈不得。So loudly did he speak that even people in the next room could hear him./他講話聲音那么大，隔壁屋里的人都聽得見。
