答案:
1. 本题的答案是D
A hung up:把……挂起来,挂断电话;B hung back:犹豫;踌躇不前.C cut down; 砍倒;D cut off;突然中断,切断,打断。B、C与原句意思较远,应立即排除。A虽 可作挂断电话解,但是通常指双方通话期间,其中一方把电话挂断。本句的后半句是 we are——,显然在双方通话期间,没有任何一方把电话挂断,而是外来因素(如:接 线员)把我们的通话突然中断了。D符合句意,应填D。
2. 本题的答案是B
A sometimes:有时;B some time:一些时间;C sometime:以前的,一度的,前任的; D some times:在某些场合,不时。从句意上看,应填B。全句的意思是:她不知道她 是否有机会在此处花一些时间以便使她更多了解这个城市的情况。
3. 本题的答案是D
四个备选答案中能和with相搭配的只有D acquainted,与with连在一起意为熟悉.故应 选D。A accepted:接受,B admitted:承认,接受和C admired:羡慕均不能与with 相搭配,故均应排除。
4. 本题的答案是C
A equal作动词用时意为等于,比得上;B match:与……相匹敌,使较量;C qualify: 有资格;D fit:使合适,使符合。根据句意,应选C qualify。全句的意思是:他当英文 教师不够资格,因为他的发音糟透了。
5. 本题的答案是A
goal只与四个备选答案中的A pursuing:追求,寻求和C reaching达到相搭配,故B chasing:追逐和D winning:赢得应立即排除。由于C reaching (the goal)指已达到 的目标,实际上句中所说的利用太阳光分裂水分子的方法仍在摸索中,尚未变成现实, 故C也应排除。A pursuing指正在寻求达到上述目标的方法,符合句意,故A为正确。
