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”. |
