(分数:2.00)
A.approachable
B.payable
&achable
D.affordable √
解析:解析:形容词词义辨析题。approachable“可接近的,平易近人的”;payable“可支付的,(到期)应支付的”;reachable“可达到的,可获得的”;affordable“付得起的,买得起的”。原句也可以说成Students coming from low-income families can afford the tuition fees.因此选D。
3.As the manager was away on a business trip, I was asked to ______ the weekly staff meeting.[2001]
(分数:2.00)
A.preside
B.introduce
C.chair √
D.dominate
解析:解析:动词词义与用法题。空白处之后是一个名词短语,因此此空需填入及物动词。chair是及物动词,意为“任(会议的)主席”,符合题意。preside尽管也可作及物动词,但其意为“管理”,若表示“主持(会议)”就是不及物动词,后面接宾语时要用over或at;introduce“介绍”的词义与题意不符;dominate意为“统治,支配,控制”,与该题语境也不符。

(分数:2.00)
&hange
&ansfer
&vey √alex wong

(分数:2.00)
&produced
&flected √

(分数:2.00)
A.dismisd
B.discharged √
&pelledlancet
&signed
解析:解析:动词词义辨析题。discharge表示“使某人从监禁、护理或责任中释放出来”,如:discharge a patient(让病人出院),因此B为正确选项。而dismiss意为“解雇,开除,解散”如:dismiss an employee(开除雇员),dismiss the class(下课);expel“驱逐”,如:the expelled invader(被驱赶的入侵者);resign“辞职”。

(分数:2.00)
&iginated √
B.stemmed
C.derived
D.descendedthenuts
解析:解析:动词词义辨析题。originate“起源于”,符合题意。stem“由……造成”,后跟介词from;derive“追溯起源”,后跟介词from;descend“遗传,是……的后裔”,也需跟介词from连用。
9.The priest made the ______ of the cross when he entered the church.[2005]
(分数:2.00)
A.mark
B.signal
C.sign √
&sture
解析:解析:名词词义辨析题。sign的意思最广泛,可以指“符号,记号”,以及“用来传达信息的任何示意动作”,句中make the sign of the cross是固定说法,意为“用手划十字”,因此C正确。signal是“人人皆知的、有约定俗成意义的符号,信号”;mark指“可见的印记、特别的特征或留下的痕迹”,gesture“姿势,手势”,强调肢体动作。
10.Taking photographs is strictly ______ here, as it may damage the precious cave paintings.[2005]
(分数:2.00)
A.forbidden feel safe√
&jected
&luded
D.denied
解析:解析:动词词义辨析题。forbidden“严禁的,禁止的”常表示“命令某人不做某事”。不
许拍壁画的照片应该是管理部门的规定,所以拍照是被禁止的,因此A为正确答案。rejected“拒绝”指“以否定或敌对的态度当面拒绝”,语气过重;excluded“排斥”表示“不准人内,驱逐”时一般指人;denied“否认,拒绝”一般表示“拒绝接受或给予”等。
11.Bus rvices between Town Centre and Newton Housing Estate will be______ until the motorway is repaired.[2008]
(分数:2.00)
A.discontinued
B.suspended √
C.halted
&ad
解析:解析:动词词义辨析题。discontinue“停止,废止,放弃”;suspend“暂停;暂缓”;halt“停止,暂停,中断”;cea“停止,终了”。until一词决定了只能用延续性动词,所以选B项suspend。其他三个词是终止性动词。
12.I couldn't sleep last night becau the tap in the bathroom was ______.[2004]
(分数:2.00)
A.draining
B.droppingdredd
C.spilling
D.dripping √
解析:解析:动词词义辨析题。drip可以表示“(某物)往下滴水”,如:an umbrella that is dripping all over the floor(滴得满地是水的雨伞),因此D符合题意。drain“排水,消耗”,作不及物动词时主语为“被排出或消耗的东西”,drop“滴下,落下”,主语也应该是滴落的液体;spill“溢出、溅出”。
13.The medical experts warned the authorities of the danger of dias in the ______ of the earthquake.[2007]
(分数:2.00)
&quence
B.aftermath √
&sult
D.effect
解析:解析:名词用法辨析题。conquence“事件发生的结果,后果”;aftermath“(尤指灾难或不幸事件后的)一段时期,后果,余波”;result“结果”;effect“结果,效果,作用,影响”。aftermath与其他三项的区别是含有时间的概念,经常用于in the aftermath of,如:in the aftermath of the war(在战后),由此可知B最合适。
