练习题(九)
一、单项选择题
1.
Women workers wear hats(B)their hair gets caught in the machinery.
A.if
B.in case
C.unless
D.because
答案:B
解析:根据题意,此句缺少表示“以防万一”的引导词,所以需要选择in case 来引导状语从句,表示“以防头发缠进机器里”的意思。选项A意为“如果”,选项C意为“除非”,选项D意为“因为”,它们用在句子中意思都不正确。这句话的意思是:“女职工都带着帽子以防头发缠进机器里。”
2.
the English examination I would have gone to the concert last Saturday.(B)
A.In spite of
B.But for
C.Because of
D.As for
答案:B
解析:根据题意,此句子包含让步状语从句,所以需要but for来引导,表示的意思是“要不是因为有考试,我上周六就会去听音乐会了”。而选项A意为“不管”,引导条件状语从句,选项C意为“因为”,选项D意为“为了”,放在这里句意都不正确。
3.
Young(A)John was, he was able to swim across the channel within minutes.
A.as
B.so
C.though
D.although
答案:A
解析:句子中主句和从句部分有转折的意思,所以需要as 来引导状语从句,并且需要倒装,意为“尽管约翰很年轻,但是他却能在几分钟之内游泳穿越海峡”。选项B意为“所以,如此”,选项C意为“尽管”,选项D意为“虽然,尽管”,都不正确。
4.
I didn’t remember his name(C) after I had greeted him.
A.when
B.as
C.until
D.while
答案:C
解析:此句为“not … until”(直到……才)结构,是固定搭配。这句话的意思是:“我直到跟他打完招呼才想起来他的名字。”
5.
The instruments of the older factory(D).
A.is as good or better than the new one
B.are as good or better than the new one
C.is as good as or better than those of the new one
D.are as good as or better than those of the new one
答案:D
解析:因为instruments 为复数,所以谓语动词应该是are而不是is;而这个比较状语从句中的older指的是两所工厂,所以表示instruments需要用“those of the new one”。这句话的意思是:“老工厂的设备跟新工厂的设备一样甚至更好。”
6.
The higher the standard of living,(D) .
A.the greater is the amount of paper is used
B.the greater amount of paper is used
C.the amount of paper is used is greater
D.the greater the amount of paper is used
答案:D
解析:本题考查的句式为 “the more … the more”。选项A和C首先应该排除,而仔细比较B和D,B中少了冠词the,所以只有D才符合此句式。这句话意思是:“生活水平越高,对纸张的消耗量就越大。”
7.
The water gives up energy and becomes cooler (and melts.
B)the ice receives energy
A.when
B.while
C.for
D.because
答案:B
解析:本题前后两部分的意思为对比,只有while能表示对比转折的意思。而选项A、C和D都不能表示转折。这句话的意思是:“水释放热量变凉而冰吸收热量而融化。”
8.
I recognized her(A)I saw her.
A.the instant (that)
B.after
C.if not
D.unless
答案:A
解析:此句子含有时间状语从句,需要用选项A来表示动作的频繁程度,表示“一……就……”。这句话意思是:“我一见到她,就认出来她了。”选项B、C和D都不能这么用。
9.
_______the 1500’s(D)the first Europeans explored the coast of California.
A.It was not until ... when
B.It is until ... that
C.It is not until ... when
D.It was not until ... that
答案:D
解析:此句子考查表示“直到……才”的“It be not until … that”时间状语从句句型。选项A和C中的when不正确,而选项B中不是否定,所以不正确,故选项D为正确答案。本举的意思是:“直到十六世纪,欧洲人才第一次发现加利福尼亚海岸。”
10.
He was willing to speak to the reporters (A)he was not identified.
A.on condition that
B.in case
C.suppose that
D.for fear that
答案:A
解析:此句为条件状语从句,所以A和C有此意思,但是C选项因为suppose也可作为整句话的谓语动词,与前面的be相冲突,所以不正确。本句的意思是:“在不被认出来的条件下,他愿意和记者谈谈。”
11.
he works hard, I don’t mind when he finishes the experiment.(D)
A.As soon as
B.As well as
C.So far as
D.So long as
答案:D
解析:本题的选项D为引导条件状语从句的连接词,而A、B和C都不符合句子的意思。本句的意思是:“只要他努力,我不在意他什么时候能完成实验。”
12.
We’ll visit Europe next year(A) we have enough money.
A.provided
B.unless
C.until
D.lest
答案:A
解析:“provided”在此处表示“条件是……”的意思。此句为条件状语从句,而选项B意为“除非”,选项C意为“直到……”,选项D意为“以免”,都不符合句子的意思。本句的意思是:“如果我们有足够的钱,明年就去欧洲旅游。”
13.
Most of the stones are(D)a man and weigh about two and a half tons each.
A.more high
B.much more high
C.higher more
D.higher than
答案:D
解析:此句为比较状语从句,high作为单音节词,其比较级为higher,所以其他形式都不都正确。本句的意思是:“大多数石头都一人多高,每一块重量都约达2吨半。”
14.
he is absent, what shall we do?(A)
A.Now that
B.Seeing that
C.Whether
D.Supposing that
答案:A
解析:此句为原因状语从句,需要表示原因的连接词now that,而在其他选项中,B意为“因为”,C意为“是否”,D意为“假定”,都不能表示原因。本句的意思是:“她既然都没出席,那我们接下来该怎么办?”
15.
the door than somebody started knocking on it.(B)
A.I had closed no sooner
B.No sooner had I closed
C.I had no sooner closed
D.No sooner I close
答案:B
解析:表示时间状语从句的句型“no sooner … than”需要将no sooner放句首,且其后的句子需要倒装,所以首先应该排除选项A和C,而选项D不是倒装语序,也可排除。这句话意思是:“我刚关上门,就有人开始敲门。”
