、.語法單句填空
1.(2012·湖北改編)The furniture, with its modern style and bright colors, suits modern houses and their gardens, but looks out of________ in the garden of a traditional home.
答案:place 考查介詞短語辨析。句意:有著現(xiàn)代風(fēng)格的色彩鮮艷的家具適合現(xiàn)代的房屋和花園,但是放在傳統(tǒng)風(fēng)格的花園里看起來就格格不入。out of place不得其所的,不適當(dāng)?shù),格格不入的。信息詞but告訴我們正確選項應(yīng)該表示“不合適的,格格不入的”。
2.Some school teachers complained, “Many kids haven't got any hobbies— ________ you call playing computer games a hobby.”
答案:unless 考查連詞。句意:一些老師抱怨說“許多孩子沒有任何愛好,除非你把打電腦游戲叫做一項愛好”。由句意可知,填unless,意為“除非,如果不”。
3.________(fill) with shame, the boy lowered his head, ready for the punishment from his dad.
答案:Filled 考查非謂語動詞。句意:因為愧疚感,這個小男孩低下頭等他的父親的懲罰。be filled with充滿了……,故填過去分詞。
4.Little Tom, who got burned while he was setting off fireworks, ________(treat) in hospital now.
答案:is being treated 句意:小湯姆在放煙火時被燒傷了,現(xiàn)在正在醫(yī)院救治。主句的時間狀語為now,故用現(xiàn)在進行時的被動語態(tài)。
5.The boy made the same mistakes over ________ over again, which,of course, made his parents very angry.
答案:and 句意:那個男孩一次次犯同樣的錯誤,這當(dāng)然令他的父母很生氣。over and over again反復(fù);多次,符合句意。
6.—Was it because of the terrible weather ________ his flight was delayed?
—Not really. An old lady suffered a heart attack and they had to fly back.
答案:that 考查強調(diào)句型。題中的問句部分為強調(diào)句型的一般疑問句形式,被強調(diào)部分是“because of the terrible weather”,強調(diào)句型的一般疑問句的構(gòu)成:Was/Is it+被強調(diào)部分+that/who+其他,故所填詞用that。
7.—Don' t put so much ________(press) on the children. It' s harmful to their health.
—OK,I won't.
答案:pressure 考查名詞詞義辨析。put pressure on為固定搭配,意為“給……施加壓力”。前句句意:不要給孩子們施加太多壓力,這有害于他們的健康。
8.The number of people, who have access to their own cars,________ (rise) sharply in the past decade.
答案:has risen 考查主謂一致和時態(tài)。本句的主語是the number of people,所以謂語動詞用單數(shù);in the past decade表示時間從過去持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在,即“十年來”,因此用現(xiàn)在完成時。
9.There is little doubt ________ you will be able to judge truth and error if you have confidence in yourself.
答案:that doubt用作名詞時,在肯定句中,其后從句常用whether引導(dǎo);在否定句和疑問句中使用that引導(dǎo)從句。此處that無意義,也不作成分,是同位語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。
10.They have earned lots of money, so I ________(firm) believe that the business is a success.
答案:firmly 從They have earned lots of money可知,“我”堅信(firmly believe)生意是成功的。
