1、Unit 4Making the news.单项填空1So much of interest_that most visitors simply run out of time before seeing it all.Aoffers Beijing BBeijing offersCdoes Beijing offer DBeijing does offer解析此题考查了so.that倒装句型的用法。句型soadj./adv.that和such形容词名词that“如此以至于”中,若把“soadj./adv.”“或suchadj.名词”提到句首,则主句需部分倒装,从句不倒装。答案C2He_of_
2、he had said at the meeting.Awas accused;that Bwas accused;whatCwas charged;what Daccused;what解析固定词组accuse sb of sth而介词后往往接what引导的宾语从句表示“某内容”“某状态”“某情况”,故答案为B。答案B3He glanced out of the window,_that the post office was still closed.Anoted Bhaving notedCto note Dnoting解析非谓语动词作状语时,其逻辑主语是句子的主语。note和he之间是主
3、动关系,所以用现在分词;又因为note的动作是紧跟在glance之后,所以不用完成时。答案D4What are you doing out of bed,Tom?Youre _ to be asleep.Asupposed BknownCthought Dconsidered解析 句意:你不睡觉在干什么,汤姆?你应该睡觉。be supposed to do sth.意为“(按规则、惯例等)应该做某事”。如:Am I supposed to clean all the rooms or just this one?我是应该打扫所有的房间,还是只这一间?be known to be被知道是;be
4、thought to be被认为是;be considered to be被认为是。答案 A5Well do everything we can to assist you_out who has stolen your new watch.Ato finding Bin findingCwith finding Dfind解析assist sb in doing.意为“在方面给予某人帮助”。句意:我们将做我们力所能及的一切来帮你查清是谁偷了你的新表。答案B6I guess weve already talked about this before but Ill ask you again
5、just_.Aby nature Bin returnCin case Dby chance解析 考查固定短语的用法。句意:我估计我们以前讨论过此事,不过我再问你一次只是以防(免)我记错了。by nature 生来,本来;in return作为报答;in case以防万一,以免;by chance偶然地,意外地。由上下文的句意可以看出,in case为最佳答案。答案 C7Greater efforts to increase agricultural production must be made if food shortage_avoided.Ais to be Bcan beCwill
6、be Dhas been解析句意:如果要避免食品短缺,就必须作出更大的努力来增加农业产量。条件状语从句中,要用一般现在时表示将来,故排除C项;B、D两项与句意不符。“be不定式”可用于条件状语从句中,表示“如果想”,故答案为A。答案A8_meet his sister at the airport,he had to get up early.ASo as to BIn order toCSo that DIn order that解析此处考查目的状语,所以不选C、D。so as to一般不用于句首,因此答案选B。答案B9What worries me most is that my daug
7、hter_most of her spare time_playing games on the computer.Aconcentrates;on Bconcentrates;inCfocuses;to Dfocuses;in解析句意:令我最担心的是我女儿把她大部分的业余时间都用来在电脑上打游戏。concentrate.on.“把集中在上”,为固定搭配,据此排除B项。focus与on搭配,意为“集中于”,据此排除C、D项。故A项正确。答案A10Our teachers dont_us smoking cigarettes in the school.Aagree Bapprove ofCag
8、ree to Dpromise解析 approve of意思为“赞成”,后接名词或动名词,本句中us为smoking的逻辑主语。注意以下结构:agree to do sth.,agree with sb.to do sth.,promise sb.to do sth.。答案 B11He _ to save the dying man,but failed.Amanaged BattemptedCrisked Dassisted解析句意:他努力想把那个垂死的人救过来,但没有成功。attempt to dotry to do。而manage to do表示“做成某事”;risk doing“冒险做
9、”。答案B12When I visited her,she was _ in writing a lecture speech on Chinese History.Aabsorbing BconcentratedCdevoted Doccupied解析考查动词辨析。be occupied in doing sth“集中精力”。其他三个词的用法为be absorbed in/ concentrate on/ devote.to,故在此处的结构不正确。答案D13The policeman stopped him when he was driving home and _ him of spee
10、ding.Acharged Baccused Cblamed Dwarned解析考查动词辨析。accuse sb of (doing) sth“指控某人做了某事”。句意:他开车回家时被警察拦住,指控他超速驾驶。答案B14We hired a boat _ we could go fishing on the weekend.Ain order to Bso as toCin order Dso that解析后面是从句,所以排除动词不定式in order to和so as to,而in order后面跟从句要使用that。答案D15Would it be possible to make an_
