30、；一致”。4选A考查动词词义辨析。句意：当大胡选拉拉做妻子时，族人激动地赞赏他的决定，拉拉感到非常自豪。applaud“赞赏”；refuse“拒绝”；agree“同意”；object“反对”。5选Bcut up意为“切开”，符合题意。put up“修建；张贴”；set up“建立”；take up“从事”。6选Bdate back to意为“追溯到”，不用于被动语态。本题中the old temple与date之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用动词ing形式作定语。7选C考查副词词义辨析。句意：不知怎么地，广场上这些兴奋的观众突然变得很安静，这件事仍令人感到困惑。personally“亲自地；就个人
31、而言”；naturally“天生地；自然而然地”；somehow“以某种方式；不知怎么地”；anyway“不管怎样；无论如何”。8选C句子主语The match与interrupt之间为被动关系，且根据took可知用过去时态，故选C项。9选C句意：一些教育学家倡导孩子们好的表现应受到奖赏。advocate“倡导；提倡”，符合句意。assume“假定”；adopt“采取；收养”；convince“使确信”。10选D由for two hours及答语后半句“我不知道我什么时候可以做完”可知，做家务这一动作从过去一直持续到现在而且还有可能继续下去，故用现在完成进行时，选D项。11选A句意：回顾过去的

33、形容词词义辨析。句意：随着如此多的自然灾害这儿那儿的发生，我们意识到全球气候确实是在变化着。aware“知道；意识到”，符合句意。conscious“有意识的；有知觉的；神志清醒的”；evident“明白的；明显的”；obvious“明显的；明白的”。15选B考查非谓语动词。句意：被最新的电动玩具所吸引，这个小男孩站在橱窗前，一动也不动。句子的主语the little boy与arrest构成逻辑上的被动关系，故用过去分词。to be done表示动作尚未发生。.语篇解读：本文是说明文，主要介绍了美国一座由土著人修建的雕塑Crazy Horse。1选B细节理解题。由文章第三段中的Unhappy
