英语模拟试题(一)参考答案及解析
Section Ⅰ Use of English
1.【答案】 B 本题考查介词的用法。
【解析】 根据首句“人们生活在充满劝说的世界中”以及随后列举的各种需要劝说的情形,可以推断出,我们的确生活在各种相互竞争的利益中,“among”表达了人们与各种利益的并存含义,其他选项不符文意。
2.【答案】 A 本题考查习惯搭配。
【解析】 该句在对比两种需求,其含义为“你的室友温习功课准备考试的需求先于他对比萨饼的渴求”,take priority over意为“享有优先权”。其他搭配用法为:take advantage of意为“利用时机等;占……的便宜”,常用人作主语;take control of意为“控制”;take the place of意为“替代”。
3.【答案】 D 本题考查名词词义辨析。
【解析】 前面提到人们生活在各种利益中,该句的romantic interest可理解为“浪漫/爱情兴趣”,与此语意构成逻辑关系的只有object,表示(情感)对象,其他不合文意。\[A\] objection意为“反对”;\[B\] projection意为“投射;投掷”;\[C\] project意为“计划,方案;项目”。该句含义为:就连你爱慕的对象也会另有其他选择。
4.【答案】 C 本题考查形容词词义辨析。
【解析】 劝说别人的目的在于使别人公正地接受我们的观点,根据前文的fair以及表示并列关系的and,可推测出该选项应该与fair(公正的)逻辑意义并列,选项\[A\] unbiased和\[B\] unprejudiced与fair基本同义,若入选则成为没必要的重复;\[D\] favorite意为“最喜欢的人/物”,也不合文意,故选favorable,意为“赞同的”,选项也说明劝说别人的目的在于使别人赞同我们的观点。
5.【答案】 D 本题考查从句引导词的辨析。
【解析】 influence的宾语从句中的谓语behave是不及物动词,根据语法要求,首先排除带有名词含义的\[A\] what和\[B\] which;劝说别人能够影响别人的思维和行为方式,而不是原因,所以排除\[C\] why,故选\[D\]。
