答案与题解:
1.A issue 在这里作动词使用时,表示发行、颁布的意思。withdraw 表示取回、收回,bring back 表示恢复。因此,issue 符合题意。
2.B 四个选项填入后得出的句子在句法和语义上都成立,但最佳答案是estimate,因为对于无法准确测量的数字专家只能做出估测。
3.B 根据上下文的意义,卫生部提出的应该是最低标准。
4.A engage in 是一个固定词组,表示从事或者参与某项工作或者活动。
5.C 这四个选项分别表示物理学家、化学家、心理学家和地质学家,根据上下文的意思来看,只有得到心理学家的许可是最合理的。
6.B 法律或者法规中的条文和要求是必须遵守的,因此必须用must。
7.D prospective 表示未来的、将来的,respective 表示各自的、分别的,prospect是动词,表示期待,这几个词词形相近,容易混淆。
8.C take place 是固定的短语搭配,表示发生、进行、举行的意思。
9.B be believed to 表示确信。
10.A concerned about 指忧虑、担心,而concerned with 是指关心、感兴趣。
11.D a number of 是一个固定短语,表示若干、不少的意思,用在可数名词前。
12.C due to 引入原因,表示因为、由于。
13. B 在本句中,用seek 的现在分词形式充当名词的定语,意为寻求变性手术的那些人。其他三个选项都是动词的限定形式,都是可以单独充当谓语的,因此不符合要求。
14.D such as 用于举例说明的场合,as 表示像一样,后面跟谓词短语,as such 强调某事的程度或者结果,表示如此以致。
15.A in the long Fun 是固定搭配,表示从长远的观点来看、最终。
