一、單項選擇題
1、Which of the following is the proper pronunciation of"have to" as a result of assimilation?
A./hef tu/
B./hey tu/
C./hаef tu/
D./hаev tu/
參考解析:解析:考查讀音的同化。have to在發音過程中出現了同化現象,即have和to作為相鄰詞使用時。/v/受后面清輔音/t/的影響變成與自己對應的清輔音/f/,于是讀音變為/haef tu/。
2、Which of the following shows the proper rhythmical pattern of the sentence?
A.´Come to ´see us at our ´new a´partment.
B.´Come to ´see us at´our new ´apartment.
C.´Come to ´see us ´at our ´new ´apartment.
D.´Come to ´see us ´at our ´new a´partment.
參考解析:解析:考查句子重讀。一般來說,句子中的實詞需要重讀,比如名詞、動詞、形容詞、副詞、數詞等。虛詞多數情況下不重讀,比如冠詞、介詞、物主代詞(形容詞性)、連詞、感嘆詞等。故A項正確。
3、He came to dinner and my mom fixed a roast, prime rib, pie, yoghurt,
drinks, and all that kind of__________, and it was really good.
A.meat
B.stuff
C.staff
D.dish
參考解析:解析:考查名詞辨析。meat“肉,肉類”,stuff“東西”,staff“工作人員”,dish“碟子,盤子”。題中的roast,prime rib,pie,yoghurt,drinks都屬于stuff,故選B。
4、Unlike her__________ sister, Judith is a shy, unsociable person who dislikes to go to parties or to make new friends.
A.charming
B.friendly
C.gracious
D.gregarious
參考解析:解析:考查形容詞辨析。分析句子可知空格處應填與shy(害羞的)和unsociable(不愛交際的)意思相反的同,因此選gregarious(愛交際的,合群的)。
5、He pledged support for__________care", where youngsters were looked
after by close relatives like aunts or uncles, but not parents.
A.family
B.kinship
C.sibling
D.relative
參考解析:解析:考查慣用搭配。根據由where引導的從句對先行詞“ __________care”的描述,可知該處表示親屬撫養的意思。kinship care為慣用搭配,意為“寄養,親屬撫養”,符合題意,故選B。
