I、单项选择(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
1. Mr. Jiang, as an elderly man, took part in the Special Games for ________ elderly, and finished ________ second in the race.
A. the; the B. the; / C. an; the D. an; /
【答案】B
【解析】句意:蒋先生作为一个老人,参加老年人特殊奥运会,并且在比赛中获得亚军。
考查冠词的用法。根据“took part in the Special Games for...elderly, and finished...second in the race.”可知,形容词前加the,表一类人,the elderly老年人;second此处为副词,修饰动词finished,故不用冠词。故选B。
2. —I want to visit the Slender West Lake. Could you please tell me something about it?
—Sorry, I know just a little. You can read the ________ on its website.
A. instruction B. introduction C. conversation D. conclusion
【答案】B
【解析】句意:——我想去参观瘦西湖。您能给我讲讲吗?——对不起,我只知道一点点。你可以在其网站上阅读介绍。
考查名词词义辨析。instruction指示;introduction介绍;conversation对话;conclusion结论。根据“Could you please tell me something about it?”和答语“Sorry, I know just a little.”可知,此处说的是想了解瘦西湖的事情,下文说不知道,说可以在网站上阅读介绍。故选B。
3. My grandpa is studying computers. He says it’s ________ learn new things.
A. never too old to B. so late to C. old enough to D. too old to
【答案】A
【解析】句意:我爷爷正在学习计算机。他说学习新事物永远不会嫌老。
考查副词短语。never too old to活到老学到老;so late to太迟做某事;old enough to足够老做某事;too old to太老而不能。根据“My grandpa is studying computers. He says it’s … learn new things.”可知,爷爷这么大年龄仍然在学习计算机,所以此处想表达学习永远不会嫌老,故选A。

A. smells terribly B. smells terrible C. is smelt terrible D. is smelt terribly
【答案】B
【解析】句意:冰箱里的食物闻起来很难闻。你最好把它扔掉。
考查感官动词用法。smell意为“闻起来”,是感官系动词,无被动语态,排除CD;感官系动词后接形容词作表语,排除A。故选B。

A. at all B. above all C. after all D. in all
【答案】B

考查介词短语。at all根本;above all最重要的是;after all毕竟;in all总共;根据“I think they need many things...they need love from their parents.”可知,此处说的是“最重要的是需要父母的爱”,故选B。
