Summary
01
It is important ________ us to protect the environment.
A.for
B.of
C.to
D.with
✔
解析:本题考查 It is + 形容词 + for/of sb. + to do 结构。
important 是描述事情性质的形容词(“重要的”),不是描写人的品格,所以用 for。
02
It was really kind ________ you to share your lunch with me.
A.for
B.of
C.to
D.from
✔
解析:kind(善良的)是描写人的品格的形容词,所以用 of。
这种结构可以改写为:You were kind to share your lunch with me.
03
It seemed ________ for her to finish the marathon, but she kept running and finally made it.
A.possible
B.possibly
C.impossible
D.impossibly
✔
解析:seemed 后面接形容词作表语,排除 B 和 D(副词)。根据后文 but she kept running and finally made it(但她坚持跑并最终成功了)可知,前面应该是“似乎不可能”,所以选 impossible。
04
________ even though it was very late, he continued working on his project.
A.So
B.But
C.Because
D.Although
✔
解析:空格在句首,连接前后两个句子。前文未给出,但从语境看,此处表示“尽管如此/但是”,用 But 最合适。
05
Our English teacher always encourages us ________ English as much as possible.
A.speak
B.speaking

A.for
B.of
C.to
D.with
✔
解析:本题考查 It is + 形容词 + for/of sb. + to do 结构。
