79、线以太网兼容性联盟,目的是推广新的WiFi标准。与新的标准相对应则是一般的、普通的标准,E项中的“a common WiFi standard”与设空后的“new WiFi standard”对应,再结合常识和语境可知答案选E项。3A根据前一句可知,根据WiFi联盟的说法,WiFi是一个商标术语,用来描述基于IEEE无线通信标准802.11的设备或技术,下文表明WiFi联盟聘请了营销公司Interbrand为它起了一个短一点的名字:WiFi;由此可知,上文的那个名字又长又拗口。故A项符合语境。mouthful意为“又长又拗口的词(或短语)”。4D根据下文中的“The rumor that”和“
80、Some members didnt understand”可推知,人们对于WiFi是什么这个问题还有一些争议,故选D。5G根据设空后一句可知,作者建议不要混淆两者;设空前两句又表述该联盟的标签带来了混淆。由此可知,G项“而且,虽然该联盟去除了这个标签,但它带来的困惑到现在仍然存在”符合语境。.语法填空(2019石家庄市重点高中高三毕业班摸底考试)I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life” before the whole class at the a

85、主语,指代“to draft the speech”,故用which。4lay考查动词的时态。根据上文中的was可知,文中描述的事情发生在过去,故此处用一般过去时,故填lay。5was forbidden考查动词的时态和语态。forbid和句子的形式主语it之间是动宾关系,且事情发生在过去,故用一般过去时的被动语态。6trembling考查非谓语动词。“with宾语(名词或代词)宾补”为独立主格结构。此处my legs和tremble构成逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词形式。7myself考查代词。根据语境可知,此处表示“我发现我自己恢复原状”,应为“found myself back”,故应填
86、反身代词myself。8what考查宾语从句的连接词。分析句子结构可知,空处引导宾语从句,在从句中作主语,表示“的东西”,故用what引导该宾语从句。9confidence考查词性转换。由空前的形容词性物主代词my可知,此处用名词形式,即confidence。10greatest考查形容词的最高级。根据语境和空前的定冠词the以及空后的名词difficulty可知,此处应用形容词的最高级形式,故填greatest。.书面表达社会发展到了2080年,照顾老年人成了一个突出的社会问题。你公司顺应社会需求适时推出了家用机器人。该机器人的主要功能有:1可以在固定的时间做饭,做饭时间可以根据个人需要进行
