综合检测(一)1．C考查名词辨析。后半句提到了除了已被证实的12个病例外，没有其他人感染这种病毒，这显然是让人极其“宽慰(relief)”的事情。2．C句意：我们花费如此多的时间进行的工程及相关的实验运行得很好。解答该题要注意分清句子结构。“Wehadoncedevotedsomuchtimeto”为定语从句(省略了that/which)修饰“theproject”，“workedout”为本句的谓语动词。3．D考查连词用法。句意：第一次见到他时，我想起了他的父亲，因为他们长得很像。thefirsttime为名词短语作连词引导时间状语从句，表“第一次做……时”。故D项正确。4．Cpickup此处表示“无意学会”；bringup表示“抚养”；lookup表示“查找”；setup表示“建立；确立”。5．Dhavenoanxietyover/about表示“对……不愁，不担心”。6．D句意：那男孩说服他妈妈给他买了一台家用电脑。talkodoingsth.表示“说服某人做某事”。7．B句意：只要你给我们提供所有必需的信息，我们能够很快完成工作。incase“万一”；solongas“只要”；ifonly“要是……就好了”；asfaras“远到，至于”。根据句意及两句的逻辑关系，选B。8．C考查非谓语动词。spend和time之间是动宾关系，故用过去分词作定语，修饰time，C项正确。而不定式和现在分词的被动语态分别表示尚未发生和正在发生的动作，均与语意不符。9．Aaccountfor“作出解释”；makefor“有助于”；changefor，无此搭配；standfor“代表，赞同”。答句句意：最近工作中的压力也许可以解释他的行为。10．B根据语意可知，Kelly旅行回来后向我描述旅行的情况。explanation意为“解释”；imagination意为“想象，想象力”；idea意为“主意，念头”。account一般表示“账目，账号”，但还可以表示“记述，描述”，相当于description。11．C句意：“你想出好主意来了吗？”“噢，我以后会告诉你的。”comeabout“发生”；comeupwith“想出”，后跟计划、答案等名词作宾语，符合句意。12．A考查短语辨析。drawup“起草，拟订，使(车、马等)停住”；drawin“(车)到站；(白昼)渐短”；drawback“拉起，退后”；drawaway“拉走，离开”。句意：请起草一份赴宴人员名单。所以A项符合语境。13．D考查连接词用法。doubt的否定式后接从句时要用that引导。there'snodoubtthat为固定搭配，意为“毫无疑问，毋庸置疑”。14．A本题是对插入语和分词作定语的综合考查。习惯用语judgingfrom，“根据……判断”，作方式状语，它和句子的主语之间不存在逻辑上的主动或被动关系；当表示人因worry，excite，move，surprise，disappoint等而呈现出某种面部表情或发出某种声音时，常用­ed形式修饰。故选A项。15．B句意：“他为什么怒视你？”“我不断地打扰他。”glareat“怒视”；stareat“凝视”；gazeat“盯住”；glanceat“瞥一眼”。16．C根据上段中的“...the25thanniversaryofabusiness”可知，此处指作者朋友的business“生意”。17．D作者与朋友相识后的25年里向朋友提供一些帮助。service“服务，帮助”；celebration“庆祝”；appointment“约会”；money“钱财”，不符合语境。18．A通过上下文可知，作者经常帮助他的朋友，因此他们之间的接触是经常性的。regularly“经常地，定期的”。19．A作者被邀请参加庆典，但却迟到了。语意上有转折，故选however“然而，可是”。20．C作者参加庆典迟到了，所以用最快的方式告诉朋友，因此是打电话给朋友。21．B由下文可知，朋友的庆典没有推迟、取消或结束，而只是推迟了庆典的正式部分，即非正式部分如期开始。22．D庆典已经开始，结合welcomeandgreetme可推知朋友作为主人最有可能是到庆典接待处迎接作者。23．B此处表示作者的朋友出来迎接，并表明他非常感谢和高兴见到作者。acknowledge“承认，就……表示感谢”。A、C、D项明显与文意不符。24．C由第五段最后一句可知，该庆祝会中的正式部分是在作者到达之后开始的，即因为作者未能及时赶到而推迟了。holdoff“拖延”；setabout“着手，开始”；goon“继续”；giveup“放弃”。25．C作者听了朋友的话非常感动，此处表示作者肯定大家面对同样境况时也会有同样的感觉，故用share“分享”。26．A此处表示没有什么比受到这样的欢迎和接待更令人高兴的了。nothingbetterthan“没有比……更好”。27．Bas意为“正如……”，符合语境。so表示因果关系；but表示转折关系；for表示因果关系，且常置于句末。28．D作者的朋友为了作者将庆典的正式部分推后，这让作者感到自己是一位特别而且重要的人。29．A此处指作者加入到其他前来庆祝的人们的群体中。joinsb.“加入某人当中”。30．D由warmthandhappinessintheroom推知，此处指作者感受到极好的友好气氛。view“视野”；memory“记忆”；experience“经历”，均不符合语境。31．C庆典的正式开始之前作者同别人交流的时间很少，所以有点遗憾。sadly此处意为“可惜，不幸”。32．D根据下段段首的“Duringhisthank­youspeech...”可知，此处指庆典上作者朋友的致辞。33．B与后面的individually相对应，前面是作者的朋友代表家人表示感谢。onbehalfof“代表”。34．D作者朋友的庆典发言并不像一般的发言一样。通常来讲，公司周年庆典发言会对公司进行大量的介绍。normally“通常，按惯例”。35．A作者的朋友在发言词中引用了一句话，反映了他做人、做事的态度。reflect“反映”；explain“解释”；instruct“教导”；encourage“鼓励”。【语篇解读】正如一位哲人所说，“小人物也有大梦想”。在英国，47岁的妇女SusanBoyle也有自己的追求和梦想。那么她来到“英国达人秀”会有怎样
