4 He inspired many young people to take up the sport.
A allowed B encouraged C called D advised
答案 B
解析inspire sb. to do sth.是“鼓励、激励某人做某事”的意思,这里inspire和encourage的词义和用法一样,故可以用encourage来代替。
5 The storm caused severe damage.
A serious B physical C accidental D environmental
答案A
解析 severe有“严厉的、严重的”多种意义。severe damage是严重破坏,故可用serious代替。又如:severe criticism严厉批评、severe situation严峻的形势、severe winter严冬、severe loss严重损失、severe teacher严厉的老师。
6 I think£7 for a drink is a bit steep, don’t you?
A tight B low C cheap D high
答案D
解析steep这个词最常用的意义是“陡峭的”,如:a steep slope陡峭的山坡,但在口语中它可以用来表示(要求、价格)“过高、难以接受”的意思。故可以用high代替。
7 DO we have to wear these name tags?
A Iists B forms C labels D codes
答案C
解析tag小标签,如:price tags价格标牌,luggage tags行李标签。在四个选项中label和它同义。form是“表格”,code是“码”,如bar code条形码。
8 Most babies can take in a wide range of food easily.
A bring B keep C serve D digest
答案 D
解析take in这个短语可以有多种解释,如“接纳、接受、留宿、收缩、改小”等。在本句中它的意义很明显是“吸收、消化”,故选digest。
9 Joe came to the window as the crowd chanted,“Joe,Joe,Joe!”
A repeated B jumped C maintained D approached
答案A
解析 chant这个词的意思是“唱”,尤其是“反复、单调地唱或吟诵”。本句中说窗外的人群反复呼喊Joe的名字,所以这里可以用repeat来替代chant。
10 What puzzles me is why his books are so popular.
A shocks B influences C confuses D concerns
答案 C
解析 puzzle做动词用的意思是“感到不解、迷惑”,句子的意思是:令我不解的是为什么他的书如此受欢迎。动词confuse恰好和puzzle同义,而且用法也相同。
