2017英语一答案

1A.BesidesB.UnlikeC.ThroughoutD.Despite

【答案】A

【解析】根据本句句内逻辑关系，“itturnsoutthathugs…”说明拥抱还有其他结果。因此，

前文的逻辑关系应该为“除此以外”，结合选项，A.Besides（除此之外）最为合适。

2A.equalB.restrictedC.connectedD.inferior

【答案】C

【解析】本题实为逻辑关系题。根据句子前后结构“helpingyouffeelcloseand（2）”,

我们可以判断，由于空格处与前面内容通过and连接，说明我们要选择一个单词与feelclose

同义，并且要与后面介词to连用。因此，通过对于四个选项含义判断，C选项有“关联的”

含义最为符合。

3A.viewB.hostC.lessonD.choice

【答案】B

【解析】此题为固定搭配。“ahost。广表示大量的。其他选项搭配不合理。

4A.avoidB.forgetC.recallD.keep

【答案】A

［解析］根据题干信息“awarmembracemightevenhelpyou_____（4）gettingsickthiswinter."

中，出现“even”，表示“甚至“，说明此句话与上一句话存在赢曲逻辑关系。上一句话的语

义表示“拥抱可以带来大量的好处”，因此，这句话也应该表示拥抱的好处。根据四个选项含

义,A.avoid（避免）B.forget（忘记）C.recall（回忆）D.keep（保持），A选项“避免

生病”最符合文意。

5A.collectingB.affectingC.guidingD.involving

【答案】D

【解析】本题考查现在分词做后置定语，需要选择一个现在分词修饰前面的“study"，因此，

结合四个选项A.collecting（收集）B.affecting（影响）C.guiding（引导）D.involving（涉

及、卷入），根据句子含义，应该表达“关于涉及400人”的研究。因此正确选项应为D

6A.onB.inC.atD.of

【答案】A

【解析】本题为固定搭配。根据句义“examined
