A assembly:大会,指有许多人参加的,计划和安排周到的大会。如联合国大会是 general assembly ;B session通常置于in之后,表示在开会,指一次会议、一届会议或 美国国会每次开会。C conference:会议,指正式的,有许多人或有许多国家代表参加 的讨论或磋商某一严重问题的会议。D convention:会议,常指政府或某政治团体举行 的会议,也可以指州级或国家级会议。B显然最接近句意,故应选B。全句的意思是: 污染问题和若干其他问题将在明年春天举行的国会会议上进行讨论。
2 本题的答案是D
A in accordance with:根据,比较正规的字眼,通常指根据国家法律规定或某些重要条 例的规定。B in terms of:就……而言,以……措词,关于;C in favor of:喜欢;D in honor of:纪念;招待。很明显D最接近句意。故应选D。全句的意思是:圣诞节是 基督教神圣的日子,通常在12月25日举行庆祝,以纪念耶稣基督的诞辰。
3. 本题的答案是B A(be)obliged to:对……很感激;不得不,后接名词或后接不定式(作不得不解), 不接动名词。例如:I am very much obliged to you for telling me.我非常感谢你告诉我。 (后接代名词you)。she was obliged to abandon the idea.她被迫放弃那种想法。(后接 不定式)。本句to之后是动名词carrying,故A应排除。B(be)committed(to):同 意承担;答应干某事,后接动名词、不定式、名词均可。例如: he was committed to fulfilling the task within two weeks.后接动名词fulfilling,符合题 意,故B为正确答案。C engaged (in):从事……,后接介词in。而本题的空白处后 为to+动名词。C明显不符合题意,故C也应立即排除。D resolved (to):决心,后接 不定式,不接动名词,故D也应排除。

5. 本题的答案是D A improve:改善,是个及物动词,后面直接接名词作宾语,但不再加to+…n,本句后 面有这种to+n…的结构,故A不符合题目的句型结构,应排除。B enhance:增加,提 高,及物动词,后面也可接名词作宾语,但不再接to+n……的结构,故也应排除。C guarantee:保证,担保,保修,是及物动词,后不接to+n……的结构,故也应排除。D gear(to):使适应,使适合,D与本题结构相吻合,故应选D。A、B和C表面上意思 与题意接近或吻合,但与本考题后半部分的to+n不吻合,故均应排除。全句的意思是: 为了在国与国之间的激烈竞争中能生存下去,我们必须使我们的产品质量和品种适应世 界市场需求。
