Unit 22 Britain and Ireland
1. We all know that all matter ________of atoms (原子).
A. are made B. is made up C. are made up D. is made
分析:
be made up of意为“由…组成”,另matter属不可数,所以只有B是对的。
2. He divided the sweets _________ the children who were divided _________ three groups.
A. in…in B. into…into C. between…in D. among…into
分析:
介词between指两者之间,among用于三者或三者以上。根据定语从句的意思,“children”是三者以上之多,故D是正确的。
3. Neither you nor I _________ in the room then.
A. are B. am C. were D. was
分析:
根据either…nor连接两个主语,谓语动词应和邻近的主语保持一致的原则。应在B和D之间选择。但句中有then(那时),故D是正确。
4. Recorders are used ________our students' listening ability (能力).
A.to help improve B. to helping to improving
C. to help improving D. helping to improve
分析:
此句中的“are used”是一般现在时的被动语态。其后应接目的状语,所以A项和C项是选择范围,又因“help”后接动词不定式,而“to”可以省略,所以,只有A项是正确的。
5. He spoke ________ his mouth full of food.
A. with B. in C. and D. but.
分析:
此句的后半部分并不是句子,只是个词组,所以C和D应排除。我们以前见过:“with+宾语+形容词”或“with+宾语+介词词组”表示伴随的用法。所以只有A是正确的。
6. People there often go to _______ church because ________ church plays an important part in people’s lives.
A. the…the B. / …the C. the…/ D. / …/
分析:
go to church意为“做礼拜”,go to the church是“去教堂”(参观或干其它事等)。第二个空要加the,意为“教会”。只有B是正确的。
7.—Can you come on Monday or Tuesday? —I’m afraid ________ day is possible.
A. either B. neither C. some D. any
分析:
此题考查在一定语境中不定代词的用法。问句是选择疑问句,提供on Monday or Tuesday两天供选择。作为代词,either和neither都可表示两者之一:前者为肯定,后者为为否定。从语法上判断,A、B均为正确答案;但I’m afraid常用来表示婉转的拒绝。从语境综合判断只有B才是合理的答案。
8.Dr Black comes from Oxford or Cambridge. I can’t remember_______.
A. where B. there C. which D. that
分析:
此题考查疑问代词的用法。第一句中Oxford和Cambridge是两个地名,Dr Black来自其中一处,说话者记不准是哪一个地方(哪所大学)。which可表示选择,where和that则不能。而there不合题意。答案:C。
