四、单项选择
1. The project was a ________ success. Everyone was happy with the result.
A. completely B. completing C. complete D. completed
【答案】C
【解析】句意:这个项目大获成功,所有人都对结果很满意。
空后“success”是名词,需要用形容词complete修饰,a complete success意为“一个完全的成功/巨大的成功”。
2. This is ________ new machine. It works very fast.
A. a type B. type of C. a type of D. type
【答案】C
【解析】句意:这是一种新型机器。它运转得非常快。
type of意为“……的种类/类型”,前面通常加冠词构成a type of,表示“一种……”。machine“机器”是可数名词单数,且此处表示泛指“一种新型机器”,因此需要用不定冠词a加上短语type of。选项A缺少介词of,选项B缺少冠词a,选项D既缺冠词也缺介词。
3. I can’t find my pen. Please help me ________.
A. look it up B. look up it C. look for it D. look it for
【答案】C
【解析】句意:找不到钢笔,请帮我找找。
look it up查阅;look up it为动副结构,宾格it必须放中间;look for寻找;look it for为动介结构,宾格it只能放在介词for后面。根据“I can’t find my pen.”可知,找不到笔,需要帮忙“寻找”笔。 应填look for it。
4. She is a talented singer.
A. gifted B. lucky C. young D. beautiful
【答案】A
【解析】句意:她是一个有天赋的歌手。
gifted有天赋的;lucky幸运的;young年轻的;beautiful美丽的。“talented”意为“有天赋的”,与“gifted”意思相近。应选gifted。
5. You should bring a ________ with you to the meeting because you need to write important things down.
A. newspaper B. radio C. notebook D. dictionary
【答案】C
【解析】句意:你应该带一个笔记本去开会,因为你需要记下重要的东西。
newspaper报纸;radio收音机;notebook笔记本;dictionary字典。根据“because you need to write important things down”可知需要记录重要事情,推测出应该带笔记本。应填notebook。
6. You’d better ________ your daily exercise time. So you can make sure you get enough physical activity.
A. return B. repeat C. record D. report
【答案】C
【解析】句意:你最好记录下每天的锻炼时间。这样你就能确保自己得到足够的身体活动。
考查动词辨析。return返回;repeat重复;record记录;report报告。根据“So you can make sure you get enough physical activity.”可知,记录锻炼时间是为了确保运动量充足,因此“记录”符合语境。故选C。
7. —How did dinosaurs die out?
—Sorry, I don’t know. We can get on the Internet to learn something about that.
A. develop B. disappear C. double D. grow
【答案】B
【解析】句意:——恐龙是如何灭绝的?——抱歉,我不知道。我们可以上网查找一下相关信息。
考查动词辨析。develop发展;disappear消失;double加倍;grow生长。对话内容是询问恐龙灭绝的原因,die out意为“灭绝”,与disappear(消失)意思相近。故选B。
8. —Whose notebook is this?
—________ it is Li Hong’s, but I’m not sure.
A. Suddenly B. Perhaps C. Recently D. Sometimes
【答案】B
【解析】句意:——这是谁的笔记本?——也许是李红的,但我不确定。
考查副词辨析。Suddenly突然;Perhaps也许;Recently最近;Sometimes有时。根据答语中的“but I’m not sure”可知,此处表示不确定,需用表示推测的副词,故选B。
9. Her dress is ________ mine, but hers is a little longer.
A. similar to B. home to C. different from D. interested in
【答案】A
【解析】句意:她的裙子和我的相似,但她的长一点。
考查形容词短语辨析。similar to与……相似;home to是……的家园;different from与……不同;interested in对……感兴趣。根据“but hers is a little longer”可知,裙子是相似的,只是长度略有不同。故选A。
10. At last, the poor boy was ________. But people didn’t know the reason for his ________.
A. died; death B. dead; death C. dead; die D. died; die
【答案】B
【解析】句意:最后,这个可怜的男孩死了。但人们不知道他死亡的原因。
考查形容词和名词。died死亡,动词过去式;death死亡,名词;dead死的,形容词;die死亡,动词原形。根据“At last, the poor boy was ...”可知第一空表示男孩死了,用形容词dead表示“死了的”,作表语;再由“But people didn’t know the reason for his ...”可知不知道死因,his后接名词death表示“死亡”。故选B。

【答案】1.prehistoric 2.died out 3.a type of 4.Perhaps 5.completely
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了恐龙与鸟类之间的联系,以及恐龙如何进化成现代鸟类。
【解析】1.句意:在20世纪90年代,中国的研究人员发现了关于恐龙的一些令人惊讶的事情:这些史前动物中有一些有羽毛。根据上下文,这里需要填入一个形容词来描述恐龙的特征。“prehistoric”意为“史前的”,符合语境。故填prehistoric。
2.句意:根据科学家的说法,所有非鸟类恐龙都灭绝了,但恐龙以鸟类的形式存活了下来。根据“all the non-bird dinosaurs…but dinosaurs survived as birds”可知,这里需要填入一个表示“灭绝”的短语。“die out”意为“灭绝”,且需要用过去式形式。故填died out。
3.句意:事实上,鸟类是从一种两足、食肉的兽脚类恐龙进化而来的。根据“birds developed from…two-legged, meat-eating dinosaurs”可知,这里需要填入一个表示“一种”的短语。a type of“一种”,符合语境。故填a type of。
4.句意:也许你看过关于像霸王龙这样的恐龙的激动人心的电影。根据“you’ve seen exciting movies about dinosaurs”可知,句子结构完整,这里需要填入一个表示“也许”的副词。perhaps“也许”,符合语境,句首首字母大写。故填Perhaps。
5.句意:从某种意义上说,恐龙从未完全消失——它们只是变得更小了。根据“the dinosaurs never disappeared…they just became smaller”可知,这里需要填入一个副词来修饰动词。completely“完全地”,符合语境。故填completely。

die out为固定搭配,表示“灭绝”,句子时态为一般过去时,应用died。went“去”、came“来”、took“拿”均不符语义。
8. 句意:今天,我们可以从它们的化石中了解恐龙。
科学家通过恐龙化石来研究恐龙,这是常识。应用fossils。books“书籍”、stories“故事”、pictures“图片”均不符语境。

根据后文“science”,可知涉及科学领域。scientist“科学家”符合语境。doctor“医生”、teacher“教师”、farmer“农民”均不符语境。
