B．underwentC．underlined D．understudied解析句意：他在二十五岁时担任委员会的主席。undertake担任；undergo经历，遭受；underline划横线；understudy充当配角，只有A项符合句意。答案A4．Theyalllookeddownuponhim.Hewas______asinger.A．notmorethan B．lessthanC．nomorethan D．morethan解析由lookdownupon表示贬义，可知后句应表达“他只不过是个歌手而已”。notmorethan与数字连用；lessthan少于；morethan用于名词前，表示“不仅仅是”。nomorethan仅仅，符合句意。答案C5．Intheexperimentwekeptawatchfuleye________thedevelopmentandrecordedeverydetail.A．withB．onC．forD．to解析考查固定短语keepaneyeon，意为“照看；密切注视”。答案B6．Myinterestincollectingstamps________mychildhood.A．datesfrom

D．suggest解析recommendsbsth向某人推荐某物。答案C8．Georgeisgoingtotalkaboutthegeographyofhiscountry，butI'dratherhe________moreonitsculture.A．focus B．focusedC．wouldfocus D．hadfocused解析句意：乔治打算谈论他的国家的地理，但我宁愿他更多地把焦点集中在文化上。wouldrather后接从句时，从句中的谓语动词要用虚拟语气，若表示与将来和现在的事实相反的情况，则谓语动词要用一般过去时，由上句中“isgoingto...”可知B项时态正确。答案B9．Ihavea________forknowledgeandalsoformoney.A．thirstyB．thirstC．longD．gift解析haveathirstfor渴望，渴求。thirsty为形容词，应该用bethirstyfor结构；longfor渴望，long为动词。答案B10．Withsomanypeople________ourteam，wearesuretowinthematch.A．backup B．supportC．backingup D．backout解析A，B两项皆有“支持”之意，但都应该用v.­ing形式；D项意思不当，故选C项。答案C11．Iwastoldthatalthoughtheseoldbuildings________theMingDynasty，theyremainedingoodcondition.A．aredatedbackto B．datedbacktoC．dateback D．havebeendatedbackto解析句意：我被告知尽管这些古老建筑建于明代，但状态良好。datebackto“追溯到”，没有被动形式，常用于一般现在时或一般过去时，dateback后常接时间段。答案B12．Notonlytheteacherbutalsothestudents________attendthelecture.A．hastoB．havetoC．haveD．has解析notonly...butalso连接的并列主语，通常根据就近原则，谓语动词的单复数要和与它相邻近的主语的数一致。答案B13．Thedampweatherrotted________thewoodendesk.A．onB．awayC．inD．of解析句意：潮湿的天气使得木质桌子腐烂了。rotaway“使……腐烂”，是固定搭配。答案B14．Chinadecidedtocastthethreeforeigners________.A．downB．awayC．outD．on解析句意：中国决定驱逐这三个外国人出境。castsbout“驱逐，赶走”。答案C15．Ittook________buildingsuppliestoconstructtheseenergy­savinghouses.Ittookbrains，too.A．otherthan
