1. It is impossible totalk---or protest---over the engines’ roar and the noise of the wind that blasts through the open doorways on either side of the narrow fuselage. [8] But your instructor smiles confidently. She gives you the thumbs-up sign.

[8]  The writer wants to add a sentence to emphasize the narrator’s growing sense of nervousness at this point in the essay. Which of the following sentences would best achieve this effect ? (2005.4-60E-8)

(A) The wind rushing in is loud.

(B) This is just as well,because if you could protest, you might.

(C) You keep your mouth shut.

(D) You wonder whether the otherfirst-time jumpers are having as good a time as you are.

解析:此题大部分童鞋都会出错,首先要先注意题干中的nervousness, 要求考生选出表示作者内心恐惧的选项,所以D选项中的good time这个正面的就不对了,A项强调风声很大这个在文中“the noise of the wind”已经说了也不能体现作者的焦虑,C项是你紧闭双嘴,保持沉默的意思并不能像B那样更加明显的表明作者内心的不安,B中的This 指的是“Itis impossible to talk---or protest… ”,意思是这样也好,因为如果你想要反抗的话你可能早就做了,也是一个虚拟语气,言外之意就是你因害怕不敢反抗,所以此题的正确答案是B。

2. To the surprise of many, it was a college student, Maya Lin who won the 1981 competitionto design the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. (2005.4-60E-47)

(A) NO CHANGE

(B) student, Maya Lin,

(C) student Maya Lin

(D) student Maya Lin,

解析:此题的正确答案是B,但是大家需要注意C这个干扰项,此题考查的是强调句型,基本结构是It is (was)+被强调部分+that(强调的部分是人也可以使用who/whom)+其他成分,vv强调句型的注意事项:

1)句首词用“It”,不能使用“This”和“That”等。

2)be动词的形式用 is或was,不能用复数形式are或were。

若原句子的谓语动词用的是现在时或将来时,则用is;若原句子的谓语动词用的是过去时或者过去完成时态,则用was。

3)如果被强调的成分有同位语,同位语也应该提前。

例:It was from him, his chemistry teacher, that Paul learned to watch carefully in class.

所以此题选择B而不是C。

4)当强调的部分是时间状语或者地点状语的时候,不能使用when或where。

3. The winners received prizes, andHurston collected a wide vastness of folklore. (2005.4-60E-71)

(A)   NOCHANGE

(B)   tremendous prosperity

(C)    major chunk

(D)    wealth

解析:a wealth of 表示大量的,丰富的,后加可数名词不可数名词均可,原句wide的意思having great extent, vast, extensive, 所以 wide 跟 vastness放在一起就啰嗦了, tremendous意思是very large or great, very excellent,而prosperity 的意思是having success usually by making a lot of money放在句中有点不合适,major 的意思是largein number, amount, or extent, chunk的意思是 a large amount or part of something  放在一起也不够简洁,所以此题的正确答案是D。

4. It was while studying anthropology at Barnard College in New York that Hurston decided to hook up again with the customs, songs, stories, and games she had learned as a child.

(A)   NO CHANGE

(B)   reconnect

(C)   unite

(D)   bind

解析:hook是钩子的意思,hook up 就是connection的意思,中文意思是“介绍”、“认识”,并不单指男女之间. 比如某人正在找工作,他的朋友刚好认识Bill Gates. 他就可以跟这位朋友说 "Hey! Since you're afriend of Bill's, why don't you hook me up?"

Let me hook you up with him.(让我介绍你们认识)。因为原句用了again所以对应的选项就是B reconnect with

C项的 unite 的意思是”to become joined togetheras one thing”, “to link by a legal ormoral bond”, 例:Party members united in support of their candidates.

D项 bind 的意思是 “to make secure by tying”, “to put under an obligation”, 比如 bind sb. with an oath,或是“to constrain with legal authority

5. Other tales were exaggeratedly and humorous accounts ofharsh bosses and smarter workers, or of trickster animals such as Brer Rabbit and his cousins.(2005.4-60E-74)

(A)   NOCHANGE

(B)   exaggeratedly humorously

(C)   exaggerated  humorously

(D)   exaggerated, humorous

解析:有时我们会用好几个形容词来描述一个具有多种性质的名词,在使用多个形容词描述一个名词时使用逗号,但不能在最后一个形容词后再加上逗号。

例:The powerful, resonating sound caught our attention.

所以此题选择D。

注意:such as  在表示列举的时候与后面所列举的内容之间不加逗号。
