Unit 24 Finding a job

典型例题

【例1】单项选择：

　　Do you think David is________?

　　A．fit to teaching　　B．suited to teaching

　　C．suited to teach　　D．fitted of teaching

　　此题的正确答案是 B（suited to teaching），短语动词be suited to意为适合、适宜于，其中to是介词，后跟名词、代词或动词-ing形式，也可以用be suited to be或 be suited for结构表示同样意思。选项A中fit to teaching搭配关系错误，be fit for sth…或be fit to do sth．是正确搭配；选项C中suited to teach搭配错误，be suited后的to是介词，而不是不定式符号；选项D中be fitted of teaching中，fit（vt．）意为适合、（大小）合身，短语fit sb．to／for sth．或 to do sth．表示使某人适合（做）某事，可以用be fitted to sth．结构表示类似意思，suit（vt．）和fit（vt．）单独使用，前者指款式、花式合适，后者指大小、尺码合适，如：

　　Is he suited to playing the leading part？他适合演主角吗？

　　This car is not well suited for／to rough roads．这汽车不适宜在不平坦的路上行走。

　　That man is not suited to be a teacher．那人不适宜担任教师。

　　She’s not fit to live all by herself．她不宜独自一人生活。

　　The manager is not fit for his position．经理不称职。

　　He’s not fitted to the task．他不适宜担任这个任务。

　　You look nice in green．Green suits you．你穿蓝色衣服很好看，蓝色适合你。

　　This coat fits you perfectly．外套很合你身。

【例2】单项选择：

　　______ rich he is, he always seems anxious to make more money.

　　A. Whatever　　B. Whichever　　C. However　　D. Whenever

　　此题的正确答案是C（However），however是连词，作“不管……如何”“无论……多么”解，它所引导的让步状语从句结构为However个形容词／副词+主语+谓语+主句，其中 however相当？no matter how。选项A中whatever只能修饰名词或单独使用，不能修饰形容词；选项B中whichever只能修饰名词，不能修饰形容同；选项D中whenever在从句中只能作状语，都不合题意，予以排除。如；

　　However bard he tries，he won’t be able to win the top place．不管他如何努力，都不能获得第一名。

　　However cold it is，she always goes hunting．不论天气多冷，他都去狩猎。

【例 3】单项选择：

　　______ everybody knows, the Tanzania-Zambia railway was built with Chinese aid.

　　A. That　　B. As　　C. Since　　D. Like

　　此题的正确答案是B（As），关系代词as引导非限制性定语从句，as代表后面整个句子的内容。选项A中that，选项C中since明显不会题意，予以排除，选项D中like是介词，不能引出从句，因而都是错误的。如：

　　As he knew, she wasn't much good at letter-writing．正如他所知道的，她不太擅长写信。

　　As all his friends agree, he was unusually warm-hearted, loving and generous．正如所有朋友一致公认的，他特别心地善良，充满仁爱之心，慷慨大方。

　　He was a Canadian, as /which I knew from his accent．他是加拿大人，从他的口音中我可以知道。

【例 4】单项选择：

　　—Do you happen to have twenty dollars with you?

　　—__________.

　　—I want to buy a reference book.

　　A. Do you want the money　　B. How much

　　C. What will you want to do　　D. What for

　　此题的正确答案是D（What for），向人开口借钱不大好意思，口气尽量缓和，答语I want to buy a reference book可以排除A、B两个干扰选项，至于选项C中What will you want to   do？和下句I want to buy a reference book。似乎是一问一答，颇能迷惑人，但用了将来时态，欠妥当，因此也要排除。如：

　　－Do you think you could get me some aspirin？你可以为我拿一点阿斯匹林吗？

　　－What do you want aspirin for？你要阿斯匹林干什么？

　　一Well, I’ve got a bad headache, you see．哦，我头痛很厉害。

【例 5】短文改错：

　　Aeroplanes are slowly driving me

madly. I live near an airport and 　　　　　 1. ______

passed planes can be heard night and day.　　 2. ______

The airport was built during the war,

and for some reason it could not　　　　　　3._________

be used then. Last year, therefore, it 　　　 4. _________

came into use. Over a hundred people

must have been driving away from 　　　　　 5. _________

their homes by the noise. I am one of the

 people left. Sometime I think this house 　　　　 6. _________

will be knocked down by a passing plane.　　　　7. _________

I have offered a large sum of 　　　　 8. _________

money to go away, but I am

determined to staying here for ever.　　　　9. _________

Everyone says I must be mad and

they are probable right.　　　　　  10. _________

　　第一行madly→mad，drive sb．mad使某人发疯，形容词mad是宾语补语；

　　第一行passed→passing，passing（adj．）从旁走过的，passed作“传递的”解；

　　第三行and→but，转折意味用but；

　　第四行therefore→however，然而、可是，therefore作“因此、所以”解；

　　第五行driving→driven，have been driven，被从家里赶出去，用被动语态；

　　第六行sometime→sometimes，sometimes是“有时候”，sometime指某个时候；

　　第七行无错误；

　　第八行 have后应加 been，我被这个机场提供了一笔钱，应用被动式；

　　第九行staying→stay，be determined后要用动词不定式，表示决不做某事；

　　第十行probable→probably，修饰形容词right应用副词probably。
