【解析】
试题分析:ordinary的基本意思是“普通的”“平常的”“一般的”“平庸的”。指与一般事物的性质标准相同,强调“平常”而无高明奇特之处。
ordinary在句中可用作定语,也可用作表语,偶尔也可用作宾语补足语。
ordinary没有比较级和最高级。
common的基本意思是“普遍的”“共有的”“共同的”,主要指因许多人〔物〕所共同具有或使用而常见,引申可表示“一般的”“平常的”,指普通、无特别之处,有时含有低劣粗俗之意。
common在句中常用作定语,也可用作表语,其后可接介词to。
common在句中修饰不可数名词时,前面不能加不定冠词。
common还可作名词,表示“公有”“公用”“平常”。例如:He has a lot in common with his father.他和他的父亲有许多共同之处。He noticed nothing out of the common.他没有注意到有什么异常的地方。
average的基本意思是“平均的”,可指算术上“平均的”,也可用于一般事物; 引申可表示“平常的,普通的”,指一般水平,既非优异,亦非低劣。
average作“平均的”解时只用作前置定语,不用于比较等级。
average作“平常的”或“一般的”解时,后面的名词用单数形式比复数形式普通。假使后面的名词是单数形式,前面用the或an都可以。
general的基本含义是“普遍的,全面的; 总的,整体的”,该词侧重牵涉人人或绝大多数地方。引申可表示“非专门的,一般的”“正常的,常规的; 通常的”“大致的,笼统的”。
general也可表示“总的,首席的”,只用作定语,多与定冠词the连用,首字母常大写。
general在句中可用作定语、表语或宾语补足语。
usual的意思是“通常的,寻常的,惯常的”,指正常的、通常发生的或期望发生的事物,或描述在特定情况下经常发生、经常进行或经常使用的事物。强调“习惯性的,遵循常规的,不陌生的”。
usual在句中可用作定语或表语。用作定语时,其前一般加the或所有格代词,不能加a。
usual在特定的上下文中有时可省略后面的被修饰词。
句意:如今,交通事故是常见的,在一个城市里每天发生事故有十几次之多。
考点:考查形容词辨析。
点评:本题难度适中。多年来,高考中对“实词”的考查,侧重于对同义词、近义词的辨析及其选择使用。高考对正确使用单词的考查,已经完全抛弃了以往对语言静态的分析,而是以词语为载体,注重考查学生的实际运用能力,因此,在复习备考中,对近义词辨析选择填空题,应重点落实词义的细微差别,掌握辨析角度,强化语境分析,加强针对性训练。

解析:A。句意:他是个普通老绅士,他将享受生活所能提供的东西。
Are you worried by the rising crime rate? If you are, you probably know that your house and possessions are increasingly in danger of suffering from great rise in the cases of burglary(夜盗;抢劫) and attack.
