Answer 1

答案：D;C;B;A;A;C;B;D;D;A;C;D;C;A;D;C;C;B;B;C
解析：

(1) D 表达“查词典”可以使用consult a dictionary或look up a word in a dictionary，但look up不能后接dictionary作宾语.选项A search for表达“寻找，搜寻”；refer需要和to连用，共同表达“参阅，参照”.所以选项D正确. (2) C think of表达“考虑，想到，想起”，后接名词或doing.decide后接to do表达“决定做某事”； consider后面直接跟名词或doing，不能再加of think up表达“想出，想到方法”，有“构思”之意.所以选项C正确. (3) B translate...into...表达“把……翻译成……”. (4) A like在此处用做介词，表达“像……”.本句承接上句，说明“电子词典通常有一个搜索功能，有些电子词典还像电话簿、备忘录、日历，甚至游戏机.”选项A as表达“像……那样”，是一个连词，后面不接名词、代词，而是接句子.选项C和D rather than，instead of表达的意思是“代替，而不是”，与题意不符. (5) A 句子the industry has grown remarkably用了现在完成时，所以时间状语用since then.选项B after then通常与一般过去时连用，选项D by then通常与过去完成时连用. (6) C Already副词用在句中起承上启下的作用，说明电子词典不但对于商务人士已经是流行的工具，也在外出旅游和专业翻译的人员中相当流行. (7) B 句中出现also，说明“也流行”，所以popular再次使用，和上句呼应. (8) D 本句进一步说明电子词典在年轻人，尤其在中学生这个群体中很流行.因为middle school students就包括在younger people中，所以使用 especially，加强语气. (9) D two thirds三分之二，分子用基数词，分母用序数词，当分子大于或等于二时，分母要加s. most表达“大多数……”，通常用“most of the＋名词”；百分数的percent不可加s；the other之后可直接说the other students，表达“其他的学生们”，加of不妥. (10) A who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词 Fu Daqing这个人. (11) C that在句中引导表语从句，it在表语从句中作主语，it代指the product.本句的意思是：“这种产品的最大优点是它使用方便，携带方便，而且节约时间.” (12) D hardly副词，意思是“几乎不”，本句用名词短语no longer a cold，chunky box that users can hardly find friendly做句子状语，说明电子词典不再是“冷冰冰，形状矮胖，几乎不让使用者感到亲切的老样子”. (13) C take on a new look表达“呈现出……面貌，带有……样子”.选项A take off的意思是“脱下(衣服)，(飞机)起飞”，选项B take up的意思是“占据(空间)”. (14) A made by Shenzhen Meisheng Scientific Technology Co，Ltd过去分词短语做定语，修饰The MS-160.由于The MS-160和make之间是被动关系，需要使用过去分词，相当于一个非限制性的定语从句Which was made by Shenzhen Meisheng Scientific Technology Co，Ltd. (15) D 在...is a good example of a machine that students find easy to use and carry这个句子中， machine用做先行词，被that引导的定语从句修饰， that指代a good example of a machine并在定语从句中做find的宾语，所以不能再添加其他充当宾语的词. (16) C fashionable and modern 说明电子词典现在的外观很时髦. (17) C 本句按照从小到大的顺序说明电子词典的存诸内容，即words，sentences，dialogues. (18) B however用在本句开始，承上文转折，说明“电子词典虽然流行，但并不意味着它就能取代纸张词典”.选项A as a result表达“结果，因此”，前后是一种因果关系；选项C even though表达“尽管”虽然表示让步转折，但要引导从句.选项D as long as的意思是“只要，如果”，表达条件. (19) B 本句的主语是price，英语中用high／low表达价格的高低.其他选项中的dear，expensive， valuable是用于修饰物品的. (20) C 介词unlike表达“不像，不同于”.选项 B dislike是一个动词，意思是“不喜欢”.
