2、Theonlyaccess_____thevillageisbyboat.
3、Yourhairandeyesremindme_____yourmother.
4、Ihavenointention______changingmyplanstofitinwithhis.?
5、CanIconnectmyprinter______yourcomputer?
参考答案:
1.on.老师要求他的学生对所看过的电影发表评论
2.to.只能乘小船进入这个村庄。acccess做名词时,后面一般跟介词to,表示“接近,进入,通道,使用....的权利”。但表示“(疾病的)发作,(怒气的)爆发”时,则不接to,如inanaccessofrage勃然大怒。
3.of你的头发和眼睛让我想起了你的母亲。remindsb.ofsth.为固定搭配,表示“使某人想起,提醒某人想起某事”
4.of我没有改变计划来迎合他的想法。intention是名词,表示“有...的意图”时,一般的搭配是haveintentionofdoingsth.或者Haveintentiontodosth.本题中空格后面changing是动名词形式,所以用of.
5.To.我可以把打印机连到你的电脑上吗?表示“把...连接到”时一般的搭配是connectsth.1+to(with)+sth.2如果sth.1与sth.2是对等或相当的东西,多用with;如果sth.1是sth.2的附属部分则用to。
Ⅳ.Choosetheonethatbestcompletesthesentence.(10points)
1.Moreinformationbecomes_____throughtheuseoftheinternet.
A.attainableB.availableC.approchableD.applicable
2._____allherotherqualifications.Marywasanexcellentcook.

3.Whichisthebestapproach_____thetunnel?

4.NotuntilrecentlydidI_____thecollegelife.
A.usetoB.getusetoC.usedtoD.usedin
5.Itisnot_____toquarrelwithyourboss.
A.worthyB.worthC.valueD.valuable
参考答案:
1.B.通过网络,可以获取更多的信息。这四个形容词在意思上非常结进,但描述的对象却有区别。attainable主要指“(目标等)可以实现的,可达成的,(场所,年龄等)可达到的”。available描述的对象较广,指可“利用的,能够得到”。approachable主要指“(场所)可接近的,可进入的;applicable(人)易于接近的。则主要“(规则,计划,安排,解决办法等)切实可行的”。所以本题选B
2.B除其他方面的资格外,玛丽还是一个出色的厨师。这四个短语都可以表示“除...之外”的意思,但表达的意义却有区别。except的意思是“从整体里减去一部分”,因为“所说的道理或事实不能适用于那部分”,着重于排除在外,如;WeallwentthereexceptXiaoLi.除小李外,我们都到那去了。except还要求后面所指的必须是主句内容的一部分或同类。exceptfor要不是,除...之外,没有“必须是主句内容的一部分或同类”的限制。inadditionto则强调“另外,加之,除....之外,又......”。besides表示“除...之外,另外还有”,也要求后面所指必须是主句内容的一部分或同类,如;Ihavefiveotherbooksbesidesthis.除这本以外,我还有5本别的书。而本题中qualification与cook既不是同类,也不是后者的一部分。所以本题选B
3.A哪条路是通往隧道的最佳途径。Approach作名词时,表示“入口,通道,接近,解决问题的办法步骤”等含义,后一般接介词to。如;anapproachtothebridge.通向桥的路。
4.B知道最近我才适应大学生活。Use可以直接做及物动词和名词用,后面不直接用to。后面接to时一般有以下3种搭配:1)过去式used+to+v.表示“过去常常,往往”,如:Iusedtogothere.我过去常到那里去。Usedhe(Didheuse)tocomebybus?他过去常乘公共汽车来吗?2)be(become,get)used+to+n.表示习惯于某事,如:Ibecomeusedtonoodlesnow.我现在习惯于吃面条了。3)beusedto+v.表示被用来做,如:Waterfallcanbeusedtogenerateelectricity.瀑布可以用来发电。
5.A?和你的老板争吵不值得。Worth后面一般接名词或动名词,如:Whateverisworthdoingatallisworthdoingwell.凡是值得做的事都值得好好去做。Worthy后可接of+n.或todo如:Amanworthyofpraise/worthytobepraised值得称赞的人。valuen.价值;valuableadj.有价值的。所以本题选A。

参考答案:
1.B.妈妈在市场上买了一束花,还买了一些蔬菜。Except和exceptfor均表示“除去”,而本句表示的是“除……之外还有……”。Inaddition使副词短语,其后不能直接接宾语,应排除,因此选B.

3.A.让吉姆单独留在家里,我很担心。Alone单独的,独自的;lonely孤独的,寂寞的;lonesome孤立的,荒凉的;apart分开的,分离的,分别的。Leave…alone是固定搭配,意为“让……独自带着,不打扰。”
4.D.既然我们已经参观过那个地方,我认为没有必要再回那儿。So…that如此……以至于;inorderthat为了,以便;providedthat倘若,如果;nowthat既然。根据两句之间的逻辑关系,正确的答案选D.

参考答案:
1.D.有些人认为网上的文章并不全是对事实真相的可靠报道。Prevalent普通的,流行的available可用的,可获得的dependent依靠的,依赖的reliable可靠的,可信的。根据题意,D项最佳。
2.A。每当他在学习上遇到麻烦,他都会想办法取得老师或同学们的帮助。Somehow表示“以某种方式,用某种方法”anyhow与anyway意思一致,都表示“无论如何,不管怎样”;nomatterhow表示“无论多么”,后接副词或形容词,不可单独使用,因此答案为A.
3.B。我有关于这次谈判的所有资料。本题考查固定词组搭配,berelevantto是固定词组,意为“与……有关”故答案选B.
4.B。如果你想学好英语,不要忘了“精读”与“泛读”extended表示“伸展的,延续的”一般用来形容空间或时间上的变化;extensive表示“广泛的,广博的”;wide表示“宽广的”,与narrow一词相对,external意为“表面的,外部的”,从题干可看出,所选答案与intensive相对。故答案为B.
5.D.众多的信息可以增加我们接触当代世界时事的机会
从题意可以首先排除imagine(想象)及limit(限制)。Expand表示“膨胀,扩张”也不合题意。Enhance有“增加,提高”之意,故答案为D.
