专业英语四级(语法与词汇)模拟试卷176 (题后含答案及解析)
题型有: 4. GRAMMAR & VOCABULARY
PART IV GRAMMAR & VOCABULARY (15 MIN)Directions: There are thirty sentences in this section. Beneath each sentence there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Choose one word or phrase that best completes the sentence.
1. Which of the following italicized parts is INCORRECT? A.The air-conditioner off, he has to use the fan instead. B.Nobody having any more to say, the meeting was closed. C.There being less water left, she needs to boil some. D.Coming late to school, the teacher got angry.
正确答案:D 解析:考查独立主格结构。独立主格结构是由主语加上非谓语动词、形容词、副词等构成的一种独立结构,A为“主语+副词”构成的独立结构,表原因,相当于原因状语从句Because the air—conditioner is off;B、C为“主语+分词”构成的独立结构,也是充当原因状语。D斜体部分的逻辑主语是the teacher,但根据句意,上学迟到的显然是指学生,并非老师,D不符合语意逻辑,应改为独立主格结构表原因,即The students coming late to school,the teacher got angry. 知识模块:语法与词汇
2. All the following sentences have an object complement EXCEPT A.He had a strange way of making his class lively and interesting. B.I saw him doing his homework when I passed his window.
C.The little boy didn’t fall asleep until his mother told him a story. D.The villagers did not allow them to build a factory there.
正确答案:C
解析:A中的lively and interesting、B中的doing his homework和D中的to build a factorythere都是宾语补足语,起补充说明的作用。正确答案为C,其中的his mother told him a story是一个双宾语结构,him为间接宾语,a story为直接宾语。 知识模块:语法与词汇
3. In the sentence “Maggie will visit Mrs. White herself in two days”, the italicized word is used to modify
A.the prepositional phrase. B.the object. C.the verb. D.the subject.
正确答案:D
解析:考查反身代词的用法。A“介词短语”,B“宾语”,C“动词”,D“主语”。“亲自”修饰主语,是主语补足语,因此选D。herself是反身代词,不能修饰动词。 知识模块:语法与词汇
4. ______ the help of my English teacher, I would not have succeeded in the speech contest.
A.But for B.Despite
C.Regardless of D.Besides
正确答案:A 解析:根据句意,后半句的would not have succeeded是对过去的虚拟式表达,前半句则是对一个事实的描述,因此这里应该填入一个表达假设条件的词或词组,只有but for符合要求,等同于if it hadnot been for...。Despite“尽管”表让步,Regardless of意为“不管,不顾”,Besides“此外”表并列。 知识模块:语法与词汇
5. _____, I will spare no effort to persuade him to go abroad for further study. A.Though hard is the work B.However hard the work is C.Though hard the work is D.However the work is hard
正确答案:B
解析:引导让步状语从句的副词或连词的用法。however和though可以引导让步状语从句,但用法不同。however需与形容词或副词连用,表示对其进行强调,结构为“however hard+主语+谓语”,意为“不管如何努力……”,因此选B。D的词序不对,though是一个连词,需引导完整的句子作状语从句。A和C选项的词序都不对,应为though the work is hard或hard though the work is。 知识模块:语法与词汇
6. I expect the orange juice ______ undrinkable because it has been put there for several months.
A.becomes B.has become C.became D.had become
正确答案:B
解析:根据句意,橙汁已经变质,不能喝了,属于过去的动作对现在造成影响,只能用现在完成时,选B。 知识模块:语法与词汇
7. ______ time, they’ll probably agree with what you propose now.
A.Giving B.Had C.Having D.Given
正确答案:D
解析:特殊用法。Given用于句首表假设,其后跟名词、代词或词组,类似的词还有assuming,granted等。答案为D。 知识模块:语法与词汇
8. A five-year-old boy can speak two foreign languages, ______ surprises all the people present.
A.which B.what C.that D.they
正确答案:A
解析:非限定性定语从句引导词用法。what和that都不能引导非限定性定语从句。如选D会造成两个完整句并列无连词,不符合语法规则。A中which指代逗号前面的整个分句,为正确答案。 知识模块:语法与词汇
9. You are ______ careful than your sister. You two can’t do the work that needs care and skill.
A.not more B.no more C.not less D.no less
正确答案:B
解析:考查比较结构辨析。not more...than指“不如……”,属于常规的比较级构成形式,表示在两者之间进行数量或程度上比较,如:She is not more diligent than her sister.(她不如她姐姐勤奋。);no more...than是一个特殊用法,它并不在两者之间进行比较,而强调“和……一样不”。否定两者。同样,not less...than表示确实的比较,如:What he earns is not less than mine.(他赚的并不比我少。);no less...than意为“不少于;和……一样”,表示肯定两者。根据下文的语境can’tdo the work that needs care and skill,可见这两个人都不是很仔细的人,故答案为B。 知识模块:语法与词汇
10. ______ she couldn’t understand was ______ more and more young people like to follow suit instead of keeping their own styles.
A.What; why B.That; what C.What; because D.Why; why
正确答案:A
解析:第一个空格应填入一个主语从句引导词,且该词在从句中充当宾语,因此只能用what。第二个空格是一个表语从句引导词,because无此用法,排除。从句是一个完整的句子,因此不用what,答案为A。 知识模块:语法与词汇
11. Almost all metals are good conductors, silver______ the best of all. A.is B.being C.has been D.is to be
正确答案:B
解析:独立主格结构。逗号前后分句缺乏连词,空格处不能填入谓语动词构成独立分句,因此只能选B构成独立主格结构,表伴随状态,相当于Almost all metals are good conductors.andsilver is the best of all. 知识模块:语法与词汇
12. It was not the first time she ______ in the exam. I think it’s high time we ______ the truth to our headteacher.
A.cheated; tell B.had cheated; told C.has cheated; told D.has cheated; tell
正确答案:B
解析:时态用法和虚拟语气。当句子里有序数词first/second/third.…副词only或最高级best/worst/most的时候,后面的从句要用完成时态,如:It is one of the most interesting books I’veever read.(这是我看过的最有趣的书之一。)因为句子是过去时,这里应该用过去完成时。另外,it’s(high)time后的谓语要用过去时表示虚拟语气,因此B是正确答案。 知识模块:语法与词汇
13. Only when one loses freedom ______ its value. A.does one know B.one knows C.one does know D.knows one
正确答案:A 解析:“only+状语从句”位于句首时,主句一般采用部分倒装语序,故答案为A。 知识模块:语法与词汇
14. ______, Mr. White scarcely considers the thought of his employees as well as their needs.
A.Even if he is a top executive
B.Being a top executive C.Since he is a top executive D.Although he is a top executive
正确答案:D
解析:连词的含义与用法。本句表达的是一般性的转折、让步关系,应该选D项Although表示“尽管,虽然”。A中的Even if也表示让步,但其意为“即使/纵然”,强调“假设的、退一步的”情况。B项Being a top executive是现在分词短语表示原因,相当于一个表示原因的状语从句,C项Sincehe is a top executive也表示原因,都不符合句意。 知识模块:语法与词汇
15. About one thousand students passed the entrance examination for postgraduate, many of______ ladies.
A.who B.them C.whom D.that
正确答案:B 解析:独立主格结构及代词的选用。由四个选项可看出逗号后面无谓语动词,因此要使用独立主格结构作状语,符合要求的只有选项B,指代前面的students。此题容易误选C,如果句中用了whom,则应出现一个句子作定语,即要补足系动词were。 知识模块:语法与词汇
16. You just lost quite a bit of blood, which is why you feel ______. A.faint B.feeble C.fragile D.vulnerable
正确答案:A
解析:因为失去了相当多的血,所以你会感觉虚弱晕眩。A. faint“眩晕的”,指人在特定场合感觉到的虚弱,通常是由于某种原因造成的暂时的情况。如本题,失血过多导致短暂性眩晕。
