2017年11月成人學位英語考試詞匯語法試題及答案二十
1.The little girl was so frightened that she just wouldn't _____ her grip on my arm.
A)loose
B)remove
C)relieve
D)dismiss
[答案] A
[譯文] 這個小女孩非常害怕,她一直抓著我的胳膊不放。
[解析] 本題有兩個選項容易混淆:A)loosen和C)relieve.Relieve的意思是“減緩導致…的減輕或緩和;免于痛苦,脫離痛苦,焦慮或者苦惱;救濟,為…提供幫助或援助”,不能和grip搭配;而loosen one's grip表示“放開手”。
2.The ship's generator broke down, and the pumps had to be operated _____ instead of mechanically.
A) artificially
B) automatically
C) manually
D) synthetically
[答案] C
[譯文] 船的發電機壞了,所以需要手動操作水泵而不能機械操作。
[解析] 這也更加要求我們要“溫故而知新”。因為instead of后面是mechanically(機械地),所以我們只要找到它的反義詞就行了,答案C)manually手動符合題義。
3.This is what you should bear in mind: Don't _____ a salary increase before you actually get it.
A)hang on
B)draw on
C)wait on
D)count on
Best Answer:D)
[譯文] 這是你應該記住的:在得到漲工資以前不要指望它。
[解析] 本題考察四個帶有on的動詞詞組。Hang on意思較多,有“糾纏,緊緊握住某物;堅持不放棄;堅持不懈;打電話時不掛斷;稍待等待一會兒時間”;draw on穿上,戴上(靴子, 手套等);吸收,利用;憑,靠;動用;向……支取;逗引(某人)開口說話;招來,招致;接近,靠近;wait on滿足…的需要;服侍;count on表示“依賴,依靠”,符合上下文。

Best Answer:D)
考查近義動詞的語義及搭配用法。各選項的意思及用法是:選項A)separate使分開,區分,區別,常用結構是"separate A from B"。如:separate cause from effect區分因果關系;選項B)isolate使隔離,使孤立,常用于isolate…from結構中。如:Several towns have been isolated from the outside world by the flood.有好幾個城鎮因洪水與外界隔絕了。選項C)contrast對比,對照,常用于"contrast A with B"結構中。如:contrast Europe with America將歐美兩洲做一番比較;選項D)distinguish區分,辨別,常用于"distinguish A from B/distinguish between A and B"結構中。如:distinguish between right and wrong/distinguish right from wrong明辨是非。根據題干中的介詞及句意,可判斷出選項D)應為正確答案。全句意思為“眾所周知,色盲的人很難區分紅色與綠色”。
