答案解析

1. A 考查冠词a/an/the的用法。第一空表示“四个半”，应用four and a half；a break表示“休息一会儿”。

2.A 考查名词词义辨析。A. 视角；B. 优先权；C. 参与；D. 特权。

3.B 考查介词 + 名词短语辨析。A. 任意地；B. 偶然地；C. 依次；D. 有时，偶尔。

4.C 考查不定代词词义辨析。A. 任何人；B. 每个人；C. 没有人；D. 某些人。

5.B 考查动词词义辨析。A. 喜欢；B. 需要，包含；C. 练习；D. 建议；暗示。

6.D 考查动词不定式作定语。动词不定式作chance的后置定语。

7.C 考查冠词a/an/the的用法。第一空news后带有that引导的同位语从句，故应该特指；第二空译为“他们的儿子需要做一个手术”，使用不定冠词。

8.A 考查比较级倍数表达法。句型为：倍数 + as+ 形容词/副词原级 + as+ 比较对象。

9.A 考查代词either的用法。否定句中表示“也不”，故选A。

10.C 考查动词短语搭配。本题关键在于认识到动词look与选择项中的介词搭配构成固定短语的时候，其中隔有短语in your local library。look for意为“寻找”，故选C。

11.D 考查动词短语搭配。give up“”“放弃；settle down 安顿，解决”；get through“经历，度过”；set off“出发，启程”。

12.A 考查非谓语动词及状语从句的省略。连词when之后为状语从句的省略，非谓语动词treat的逻辑主语即为主句主语healthproblems，判断它们之间的关系为动宾关系，因此用过去分词即可。而being done意为“正在被……”；to be done意为“将被……”。

13. A 考查代词that的用法。辨析句中的代词用来指代不可数名词 the quality of education，故用代词that，而代词it和one通常用来指代可数名词单数。

14.B 考查名词词义辨析。A. 产品；B. 压力；C. 能源；D. 力量。在句中表示“减压”，故选B。

15.D 考查介词词义辨析。above高于、超出，故选D。

19.C 考查介词短语词义辨析。A. 就位，到位；B. 井然有序；C. 保持体形；D. 流行。

20. A 考查不确定数目的用法。当hundred，thousand，million和billion表示具体的数目时，用单数形式；当表示不具体的数目时，用复数形式，且跟介词of连用，故选A答案。

21.B 考查倍数表达法。表达倍数的twice应该放在第一个as之前，只有B符合。

22. A 本题考查数词确定数目的用法。hundred，thousand，million，billion，dozen，score等指具体数字时，不用复数形式；指大约数字时，常用复数形式，且与of连用。如：onehundred，two thousand，three million，hundreds/thousands/millions/billions/dozens/scores of。

23.D 考查数词 + 专有名词的用法。序数词位于名词前，如thesecondfloor；基数词位于名词后，如class two, grade four等。故Gate Two为正确选项。

24.C 考查感叹词what和how 的用法。形容词后无限定词修饰work，可知句子重心是work，因此感叹词用what。

25.D 考查感叹词how的用法。形容词tall后有限定词the，可知句子中心落在形容词tall上, 故选how。

26.D 考查few和little的用法。fewer是形容词few的比较级，意为“更少的”，修饰可数名词复数；less是little的比较级，意为“更少的”，修饰不可数名词。从句中people用作复数名词，主句中pollution为不可数名词，结合语境可知选D。

27. C 考查形容词的最高级。最高级要用the most wonderful来表示，故选C。

28.B 考查副词的位置及用法。首先判定所填单词修饰washed，应为副词，结合句意可知应选easily。

29.B 考查enough的用法。enough修饰形容词、副词时需要后置，且不能和as结构连用。

30.D 考查动词词义辨析。A. 涉及到；B. 提供；C. 询问，要求；D. 包含，涉及，使陷入……中。 tKfRiIKBRRCdn68MAhjEiFArasj/zaMQbQDMb239vA26OrVv38aKxSgrWQzvR2PI
