答案
Ⅰ.1.guilty 2.eager 3.concentrate 4.gifted 5.publishes 6.delighted 7.submitted 8.assess 9.assist 10.demands
Ⅱ.1.(1)obtained (2)acquired (3)get (4)gained (5)acquire
[acquire指持续、慢慢地获得,强调经过努力或某一过程得到某物,宾语多为知识、技能、习惯等。obtain多指经过相当长的时间或很大的努力,获得期望已久的东西,为正式用语。gain的含义较obtain进一步,表示付出更大的努力才能获得,常译为“赢得”,多用于指得到经验、利益、优势、好处等;亦可指军事上的武力夺取。get是“得到”的普通用词,为不正式用语。]
2.(1)accused (2)charged (3)charge (4)accused
[accuse表示直接而严厉地指出某人的过错,加以谴责,也指对犯错误的人的指控或控告。常用搭配accuse sb. of(doing) sth.。charge指“因犯较大错误或重大罪行而进行正式法律控诉”。常用搭配charge sb. with(doing) sth.。]
3.(1)in order to/so as to (2)so that/in order that (3)In order that (4)In order to (5)so as not to/in order not to (6)In order not to
[so as to和in order to后接动词原形,表示“为的是,为了”。in order to可放句首,也可放句中,so as to不能放句首。其否定形式为:so as not to,in order not to。so that和in order that后接从句,in order that可以放在句首,而so that则不能。]
Ⅲ.1.You’d better take the keys in case I’m out.
2.I feel guilty about visiting her so rarely.
3.I’m sceptical about/of the team’s chance of winning.
4.Not only do I know her,but I’m her best friend.
5.I went to college.Meanwhile,all my friends got wellpaid jobs.
Ⅳ.1.A [句意为:这串项链估价为10 000元。assess常和介词at连用,表示“给……估价多少钱”。]
2.B [accuse sb. of sth.“因某事指责或控告某人”;inform sb. of sth.“告诉或通知某人某事”;cure sb. of sth.“治好某人某种疾病”;rob sb. of sth.“抢劫某人某物”。由句意知inform为最佳答案。]
3.A [cover在此处意为“支付;够……之用”。问句句意为:你有足够的钱来支付日常开销吗?]
4.C [后半句句意为:没有必要打的,地铁可以节省钱。no longer不再;no wonder难怪;no problem没问题。]
5.B [句意为:——你相信昨天报纸上报道的东西吗?——不,我认为他们混淆了事实。get the wrong end of the stick混淆事实,完全误解。]
6.C [so as to和in order to的否定式是:so as not to和in order not to。]
7.A [be supposed to do sth.表示“理应做某事”,是习惯搭配,而且send和the message 之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故使用被动语态形式。]
8.C [由句中的demand可知,其宾语从句的谓语动词应用虚拟语气,即用“(should)+do”。因为the work与finish之间存在被动关系,因此应用(should)be finished。]
9.D [“only+状语”置于句首,主句用部分倒装。C项时态不正确。]
10.B [It depends视情况而定。符合句意,故选B项。have no idea不知道;as usual像往常一样;generally speaking一般来说。]
