解析:
| 解析:本文是围绕着nose的体态语言功能所展开的,也涉及到了nose的基本功能,nose构成的习语和名人对nose的研究和态度。所以,本文句中谓语的时态多用现在和过去时态。
第1题,根据下文诸多例证,人们的nose给世界语言宝库中增添了许多有趣的表达方法,是不会令人吃惊的。surprised表示“感到惊奇的”,要用“人”做主语,故排除。 第3题,feeling感情,感觉;character性格,品质;things事情;love热爱,爱。因此选character。 第4题,不定冠词泛指类别。 第5题,根据mall后的信息词语暗示,应是“伟大的人”。 第6题,wish希望,后边接句子的时候,通常表示虚拟的语气,这里表示的只是一种假设,是难以实现的愿望。 第7题,只有to smell和“noses'’搭配合理。鼻子的作用就是闻味。 第8题,用interesting修饰remark最符合文意。 第9题,“人的nose在人的想象力中已经起了重要的作用”。这是一个事实,故应用现在完成时。 第10题,ways是可数名词复数,排除A。据下文的信息限制,是人们在许多方面用nose来表达情感的,不是只在一些方面或几乎没有。 第11题,据后面的信息词语anger,pride的暗示,这是人的弱点(weakness)。 第12题,句意为“在英语中,有许多关于nose的短语。…‘关于”要用介词about表示。 第13题,本题考查情态动词的功能。这里表示“许可”,故用can。 第14题,据下文“表明了人的软弱”限制,to be led around by the nose应是“被牵着鼻子走”,因此应该用不定式的被动式。 第15题,定语从句缺主语。且先行词又是“人 第16题,protect保护;control控制;remember记得,记住;hate讨厌,厌烦。根据该段所述之意,应选B。 第17题,follow one's nose跟着感觉走的……;跟着……。因此用follow。 第18题,guide为及物动词,后跟代词宾格。 第19题,虽表示转折,但据上下文,此处应是“不管怎样”才符合上下文意思。 第20题,as…as作表语,中间应是形容词,排除c。这种结构的肯定形式,不能用so,排除A。根据上下文意思,这里应是“nose不仅仅是供呼吸和嗅味的应当是非常清楚了”。所以应用as…as的肯定式,排除D。
