Ⅰ.单项填空
1.He became inspired when he thought about helping ordinary people________to cholera.
A.expose
B.exposed
C.exposing
D.to expose
解析 expose“使暴露于;显露;使接触”,在此处作后置定语修饰people,二者存在动宾关系,故用过去分词形式。
答案 B
2.When he came back three hours later,they were still sitting on the sofa,________in conversation.
A.absorbing
B.absorbed
C.to absorb
D.to be absorbed
解析 考查非谓语动词。句意:当他三个小时后回来时,他们仍坐在沙发上,聚精会神地交谈。be absorbed in为固定搭配,意为“专心于”,所以此处应用absorb的过去分词形式,作伴随状语。
答案 B
3.It was the boy,rather than his teachers,that________for what the boy had done.
A.were to blame
B.were to blamed
C.was to blame
D.was to be blamed
解析 be to blame表示“应该受责备”,从结构分析主语应当为the boy,因此选C。
答案 C
4.I think you need some outdoor exercise.Plenty of fresh air will________good health.
A.contribute to
B.devote to
C.apply to
D.adjust to
解析 考查带to的动词短语辨析。句意:我认为你需要户外锻炼,足够的新鲜空气会有利于健康。contribute to有助于,导致;devote to奉献;apply to运用;adjust to调节以适应。
答案 A

8.—I was surprised to see wild flowers in Alaska.
—Many people think there is nothing there ________ice and snow.
A.except for
