Module 1 Europe
I. 单项填空
1．This restaurant has become popular for its wide______of foods that suit all tastes and pockets.
A．division
B．area
C．range
D．circle
答案 C [考查名词辨析。foods后面的定语从句that suit all tastes and pockets(适合各种口味和消费层次)说明该饭店的食物多种多样，所以，应该用range。而A项division是“划分，分开”的意思；B项area是“区域”的意思；D项circle则是“圆圈，环”的意思，显然A、B和D项不合题意。]
2．The town where my uncle lives lies________the coast of the East Sea.
A．to
B．below
C．in
D．off
答案 D [考查介词。句意：我叔叔居住的城镇位于东海之滨。off在表示位置时，有“在……的外面，在……的沿海”之意，故D项符合句意。]
3．A good many things in the world cannot be considered and valued________money.
A．in terms of
B．in short of
C．in charge of
D．in case of
答案 A 句意为：世界上有很多东西不是用金钱来衡量的。in terms of就……而论；in short of缺少；不足；in charge of负责；主管；in case of如果；假如。故A项符合句意。4．The dictionary as well as the grammar books that________bookmarks in them________Jane.
A．has；belong to
B．have; belongs to
C．have；is belonged to
D．has；are belonged to
答案 B [考查主谓一致及belong to。句意：字典和里面有书签的语法书籍是属于Jane的。第一空处是由that引导的定语从句，其先行词为books，故谓语动词要用复数形式。第二空处应为整个句子的谓语，其单复数形式应与as well as前面的主语保持一致，又因belong to无被动结构，故选B项。]
5．—Children today find it hard to focus on study.
—Exactly，as they________so many fun things to do.
A．found
B．have found
C．had found
D．will find
答案 B 句意为：——今天的孩子发现集中精力学习很困难。——的确如此，因为他们发现有很多好玩的事情要做。根据today可知谈论的是现在的情况，四个选项中只有B项为现在时。A.叙述过去的情况；C.叙述过去的动作或时间之前就完成的动作；D.表将来。6．You’d better go there by train.The train ticket is________the airplane ticket.
A．as cheap three times as
B．as three times cheap as
C．three times cheaper than
D．cheaper three times than
答案 C 考查倍数表达法。表达倍数时应把表示倍数的词放在比较级的最前面，由此可判断C项正确，此处是“倍数词＋比较级＋than”结构。7．He is eager to achieve success, but ________， he doesn't want to work too hard.
A．for one thing
B．on the other hand
C．on the contrary
D．as a result
答案 B [考查固定短语。for one thing“(其中)原因之一是”；on the other hand“另一方面”；on the contrary“与此相反”；as a result“因此”。句意：他渴望成功，但另一方面，他又不想努力。根据句意可知选B。]
8．The patient recovered from the illness________and three weeks later, he left the hospital.
A．sooner or later
B．little by little
C．by and by
D．all in all
答案 B [考查短语辨析。句意：病人渐渐地从疾病中恢复过来，三周后就离开了医院。sooner or later“迟早”；by and by“不久”；all in all“总之”，均不合乎语意，只有little by little“逐渐地”，合乎语境。]
9．Tom is very young.But________working ability, he's much more experienced than others.
A．in praise of
B．in face of
C．in need of
D．in terms of
答案 D [句意：汤姆很年轻，但是在工作能力方面，他要比其他人有经验的多。A项“赞扬”；B项“面对”；C项“需要”；D项“在……方面，就……而言”。]
10．Mr.Smith has been living a colourful life________he moved to the countryside after his retirement.
A．as if
B．now that
C．in case
D．ever since
答案 D [句意：自从退休搬到乡下后，史密斯先生一直过着丰富多彩的生活。ever since“自从……一直”，表示从过去开始到现在的一种状况，常和完成时连用。as if“好像”；now that“由于，既然”；in case“以防，以防万一”，均不符合句意。]
11．We are busy in preparing for the performance in order not to________in front of our classmates.
A．lose hope
B．lose face
C．lose confidence
D．lose heart
答案 B [句意：为了不在同学面前丢人，我们正忙于准备演出。lose hope“绝望”；lose face“丢面子”；lose confidence“失去信心”；lose heart“丧失勇气”。]
12．My view on the project is the very ________to yours.That's to say, I don't agree with you at all.
A．similarity
B．opposite
C．option
D．difference
答案 B [考查名词辨析。根据后句中的“don't agree...at all”可知，应选opposite，“相反；对立”。similarity“相似，相似性”；option“选择”；difference“不同点”，均与语境不符。]
1. —Have you drawn up that list of names yet?
—No，but I’m going to________it.
A．work out
B．work on
C．work off
D．work up答案 B 考查work短语辨析。句意为：——那份名单你起草好了吗？——还没有，我正打算写呢。work on从事，继续工作；符合语境。work out解决，计算出；work off宣泄感情，工作以偿债；work up努力改进，逐步发展。14．This modern threestar hotel________close to the city center is attractive.
A．situated
B．situating
C．is situated
D．is situating
答案 A [考查situated的用法。此处situated close to the city center相当于定语从句which/that is situated close to the city center，作定语修饰hotel。]
15．—Is everyone here?
—Not yet...Look, there________the rest of our guests!
A．come
B．comes
C．is coming
D．are coming
答案 A [考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空处所在句子为倒装句，the rest of our guests作主语，谓语动词要用复数形式；此处叙述的又是现在的事实，所以用一般现在时。]

【语篇解读】 本文为说明文。英国Boston College有诸多诱人的留学好处，其便利和现代化的教学条件尤其吸引着海外学生。本文比较详尽地介绍了Boston College的办学条件，目的是吸引学生报考。
1．C [细节理解题。第一段开宗明义，因为办学水平高，该校吸引了众多的海外留学生。]
