答案与题解:
1. B 看到后面的不定式,应马上想到 expect,这是常见搭配,意思是期望做某事,放在此处也符合句意,故选B。
2. C 此句大意为若是周围有个总是往事情最坏处考虑的人,我们一定没有什么乐趣,此处符合逻辑的只有 worry和 fear,但 worry要与 about 搭配,故 C 为正确答案。
3. P A, B, D 都有乐趣的意思,但口语中常和 a lot of 搭配的只有fun,意为很多乐趣。
4. D look like 意为看起来像,看上去要 ,符合句意,为正确答案。
5. C 此句意思为对此采取一些措施是重要的,A 与 D 搭配不当,直接被排除,B 选项against 容易被误选,译为采取措施来对抗它,但此处的 it 是指代前面整句话,指这个状况、情况、事实。我们只能针对这个情况采取措施,不能去对抗它,C 选项比较合理。
6. B according to 固定搭配,意为根据。
7. A as a result 是个惯用短语,表示结果,意为最后,结果,最终。整句译为只需一点儿努力,你将发现生活会回报你更多。
8. C 此句的含义为乐观主义也是对待生活的和它所给予的一种积极态度。只有 A与 C与句意相符,但 supply 是不及物动词,须与介词 with 搭配,故 C 选项正确。
9. B 分析上下文意思,此处乐观主义者是更容易开始新项目,be likely to 是习惯用法,译成倾向于,很有可能 ,be possible to 也有这样的意思,但主语一般是 it ,故选 B。
10. B 想要表示对...,....的看法,意见,态度,可以用 opinion about,view of ,或是 attitude to/towards ,根据惯用说法,B 选项最为合适。
11. C 四个选项中只有 depend 能与 on 搭配,表示依赖于,其他三个选项均为及物动词,因此答案是 C。
12. A something goes wrong 是习惯说法,意思是出毛病,弄错,发生故障,其他选项不能这样搭配。
13. C 此处涉及的惯用说法是 on the one hand... ,on the other hand ... ,翻译成一方面,另一方面,C 为正确答案。
14. A regard ... as ...是固定搭配,意为把看做,A 为正确答案,D 选项容易干扰应试者的判断,但具有把看做含义的短语应为 think of ... as ...。
15. B 本题涉及的两个固定搭配为 get on with 和 get over with ,前者意为继续,为正确答案,后者意为完成,结束,做完了事。
