PARTIIICLOZE
31.[D]句意为:电是日常生活的一部分,如今,我们已经习以为常,以至于开灯或开电视时很少仔细考虑电的问题。so…that…是固定搭配,意思是“如此……以至于……”,故答案为[D]。
32.[C]句意为:晚上灯光照亮的马路使人们自由通行,使交通畅通无阻。traffic意为“交通”;pedestrian意为“行人”,与空格前的people词义重复;car和truck都指具体的车辆类型,含义过于狭窄。综合考虑,此处应填入traffic。
33.[B]句意为:广告中使用的霓虹灯已经成为了每个现代化城市的一大特色。appearance意为“外观”;character意为“特征,特色”;distinction意为“区别”;surface意为“表面”。根据句意,答案为[B]。
34.[A]句意为:在家里,很多节省劳动力的设备都是由电带动的。四个选项都是复合形容词,labour-saving意为“节省劳动力的”;time-saving意为“节省时间的”;energy-saving意为“节能的”;money-saving意为“省钱的”。根据句意,此处填入labour-saving最合适。
35.[C]句意为:即使当我们关上床头灯,睡得很熟时,电仍然在为我们工作……。only意为“只有”;rarely意为“少有地”;even意为“即使”;frequently意为“频繁地,屡次地”。根据句意,此处应填入even。
36.[B]fastasleep为固定搭配,意为“睡得很熟的”,故答案为[B]。quite意为“非常”;quickly意为“很快地”;closely意为“靠近地,接近地”,均不符合句意,故排除。
37.[D]move意为“移动”;start意为“启动”;repair意为“修复”;drive意为“驱动,使机器运转”。此处的动词与ourrefrigerators连用,填入driving最合适,意为“使电冰箱正常运行”。
38.[B]bothertodosth.意为“费心做某事”;hesitatetodosth.意为“做某事犹豫不决”;remembertodosth.指“记得去做某事”。此处是说,我们费心思考它们为什么或如何运行,故答案为[B]。
39.[C]句意:直到这些交通工具出问题时,我们才会费心思考它们为什么或如何运行。前半句出现了rarely,含否定意义,与until搭配使用,意为“直到……才……”,故答案为[C]。
40.[B]句意为:1959年的夏天,负责给纽约供电的发电厂真的出了问题。当句子中没有其他的助动词时,可以在动词前使用助动词do表示对该动作的强调,助动词do随人称和时态而变化。因此,did符合题意。
41.[A]句意为:许多小时过去了,生活几乎停滞不前。cometoastandstill是固定搭配,意为“停住,停滞不前”。terminal意为“终点”;breakdown意为“故障”;pause意为“暂停”,均不符合句意,故排除。
42.[B]句意为:火车无法开动,车厢里的人坐在黑暗中无能为力,什么事也做不了。incompetent意为“没有能力的,不能胜任的”;powerless意为“无能为力的”;hesitant意为“迟疑不决的”;helpless意为“无助的”。此处指人处于停电的环境中无能为力,什么事也做不了,因此答案为[B]。
43.[D]句意为:电梯也停止工作,即使你足够幸运,没被困在两层楼之间,也得自己不愉快地步行下楼梯。although意为“虽然”;when意为“当……时”;as意为“像……一样”;evenif意为“即使,纵然”。通过分析上下文,此处填入evenif最合适。
44.[D]句意同上。lock意为“把……锁起来”;place意为“放置”;position意为“把……放在适当的位置”;trap意为“困住,陷入困境”。根据上下文意思,此处应该选[D]。
45.[C]句意同上。aflightofstairs是固定搭配,表示“(两个楼梯平台间的)一段楼梯”,本题中考查的是复数形式,故答案为[C]。
46.[A]inaninstant是固定搭配,意为“瞬间,马上”,意思相当于immediately,故答案为[A]。inaminute意为“很快,马上”,一般用于将来时,不符合句意,故排除。
47.[D] as…as…为固定搭配,表示“像……一样”,故答案为[D]。
48.[A]句意为:人们害怕离开自己的房子,因为虽然警察被要求随时待命,以防突发事件,但他们也像其他人一样疑惑和无助。for表示原因,and表示并列关系,but表示转折,or表示选择。结合上下文,此处填入for最合适。
49.[C]句意同上。standaside意为“避开”;standdown意为“从要职上退下”;standby意为“做好准备,待命”;standin意为“站立于,坐落于”。根据上下文分析,此处应该指警察处于待命状态,故答案为[C]。
50.[A]句意同上。helpless意为“无助的”;aimless意为“漫无目的的”;unfocused意为“目光茫然的”;undecided意为“尚未决定的”。根据句意,此处应选[A]。
