A.put forward
B.put up
C.put out
D.put aside
答案 D [句意:就你的工资而言,每周你应至少存20美元。put forward提出;put up张贴;put out扑灭;put aside储存。]
2.The________,I think,he drew from his simple experiment is not scientific.
A.attention
B.conclusion
C.promise
D.relation
答案 B [句意:我认为他从简单的实验中得出的结论是不科学的。draw a conclusion“得出结论”;draw one's attention“引起某人注意”。]
3.The more one is ________the Englishspeaking environment,the better he or she will learn the language.
A.exposed to
B.filled in
C.caught on
D.kept up
答案 A [根据句子的意思判断,此处应该使用be exposed to...,表示“被暴露在……”的意思。]
4.—I was surprised to see wild flowers in Alaska.
—Many people think there is nothing there ________ice and snow.
A.except for
B.rather than
C.apart from
D.regardless of
答案 C [此处表示“除了冰雪以外没有别的东西”,可以使用except,因为ice and snow和nothing属于同类,而except for后的名词和前面的名词不属同类。apart from相当于except或besides。]
5.Her question was so difficult that I could hardly make any________of it at all.
A.sense
B.meaning[来源:学*科*网Z*X*X*K]
C.explanation
D.idea

6.The building around the corner caught fire last night.The police are now ________the matter.
A.seeing through
B.working out
C.looking into
D.watching over
答案 C [考查动词词组辨析。此处look into表示“调查”。A项表示“看穿;识破”; B项表示“制定出;算出”;D项表示“看守;监视”; 均不合语境。]
7.The mother didn't know who ________for the broken glass as it happened.
A.to blame
B.to be blamed
C.blamed
D.is to be blamed
答案 A [be to blame表示“应受责备”的意思,主动的形式表示被动的意思。who to blame是“疑问词+不定式”结构作宾语。]
8.The discovery of new evidence led to ________ .
A.the thief having caught
B.catch the thief
C.the thief being caught
D.the thief to be caught
答案 C [短语lead to后面应该跟名词或动名词作宾语,且考虑到thief和catch之间的逻辑动宾关系,应该表示被动,可排除A、B两项。D项的动词不定式表示将被抓住,显然不符合语境的要求。]
9. The two men were ________ of receiving stolen property,which made their parents worried.
A.suspected
B.doubted
C.arrested
