1.His car broke down when he was only ________ home.
A.half way to
B.half way
C.a half way
D.half a way
【翻譯】在回家的半路上他的車拋錨了。[考點]固定用法【精析】B 考查half的用法:英國英語表示“一半”的數(shù)量,一般用half an hour,half a dozen。美國英語則用a half hour。但本句中的way為不可數(shù)名詞,所以不能用a來修飾。另home為副詞,做后置定語修飾way,因此不能帶to。
2. ________the strength of the opposition, we did very well to score two goals.
A.To consider
B.Considered
C.Considering
D.Consider
【翻譯】考慮到對手的實力,我們進了兩個球已經(jīng)做得非常好 了。
[考點]非謂語動詞題
【精析】C we 和 consider 之間是主動關(guān)系,所以應該用 現(xiàn)在分詞做狀語。considering 意為“考慮到”。
3. When I arrived Bill ________ the telephone.
A.talked on
B.talks on
C.was talking on
D.was being talked on
【翻譯】我到達時,比爾正在打電話。
[考點]謂語動詞
【精析】C 前面是由when引導的時間狀語從句,根據(jù)句意可知主句謂語應用過去進行時態(tài),was talking on強調(diào)正在進行的動作。
4. In other words, ________ we were witnessing rapid population growth, that would not mean that the countryside were filling in with people.
A.now that
B.even that
C.just as
D.even if
【翻譯】換句話說,即使我們目睹了人口的快速增長,但這并不意味著農(nóng)村人口過剩。[考點]詞義辨析【精析】D 連詞詞組辨析題:even if意為“即使”,引導讓步狀語從句,符合題意。now that意為“既然”,just as意為“正像”。
5.He sends his ________ wishes for your future happiness.
A.honest
B.sincere
C.many
D.deepest
【翻譯】他衷心地祝愿你們未來會幸福。[考點]詞義辨析【精析】B sincere意為“誠懇的,真摯的,真心實意的”;honest意為“誠實的”;many前不能用物主代詞;deepest意為“最深厚的”;deep用來形容自上而下、自外及里的深度,與wishes搭配不當。
