1. _________ he led the strike cost him his life.
A. Because B. The fact C. When D. That
答案 D;
本题考查主语从句的用法。题意是“他领导了罢工,从而送了性命。”从汉语角度去考虑似乎要填入Because,但从句子的结构来看,cost him his life是句子的谓语和宾语,前应是主语,而Because引出的从句是状语从句,排除A项。The fact后跟同位句从句时,要用that引导,而When显然与题意不符,排除B、C。答案为D,That在此引出的是主语从句。
2.The coat really a good ________ at such a low price.
A. matter B. pattern C. seller D. bargain
答案D本题考查词义。从句中的at such a low price可以判断出前面要说的是“衣服很便宜”。英语中表示某东西买得便宜时可用a good bargain这一固定说法。故答案为D。
3.One of the sides of the board should be painted yellow,and________.
A. the other is white B. another white
C. the other white D. another is white
答案C本题考查习惯表达法。another指“三者以上中的另一个”;the other指“两者中的另一个”。一块木板应是两个面,排除B、D两项。英语中and或but等连接的后一分句中如有与前一分句相重复的内容时,常用省略。根据题意“木板的一面应漆成黄色,另一面漆成白色。”可知完整的句子应是One of the sides of the board should be painted yellow,and the other side shall he painted white.题干中省略了should be pained,故答案为C。
4.All the leading newspapers ________ the trade talks between China and the United States.
A. reported B. printed C. announced D. published
答案A report报道、报告,print印刷;announce宣布;publish出版。作为报纸,则与“报道”有关。全句意为:所有主要报纸都报道了中美贸易会谈。
5._______ such heavy pollution already, it may now be too late to clean up the water.
A. Having suffered B. suffering C. To suffer D. suffered
答案A 本题考查现在分词完成式作状语。
题干中already暗示suffer的动作已在谓语动作之前发生;由于前半句是阐明后半句“too late”的原因,故用现在分词完成式作原因状语。
现在分词作状语,多表示时间、原因、条件、伴随状况、行为方式。
现在分词完成式表明分词的动作发生在谓语动作之前。
现在分词的否定式的构成方法,将not置于现在分词之前。
