Module3TheViolenceofNature

第1课时Introduction

i.单项填空

从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

1.Ifyoudon*ttakeallyourthingsfromthedesk,therewon'tbeenoughformy

stationery.

A.areaB.place

C.roomD.surface

答案：C

解析:在此句中room表示“空间”；是不可数名词。选项B表示地方时，是可数名词，

需要用冠词。area指“面积”，surface表示“物质的表面”。

2.Itistheyoungmanlookedforcaughtthemurderer.

A.that;whoB.that;they

C.they;thatD.they;which

答案：C

解析：本题考查了定语从句和强调句式。强调句式的结构是“Itis+被强调部分+

that/who...^otheylookedfor前省略了关系代词that,因为先行词theyoungman在从句中作

lookedfor的宾语。强调句为Itistheyoungmanwho/thatcaughtthemurderer.本句意思是“是

那个他们寻找的年轻人抓住了杀人犯"。’

3.Hetriedhardbutcouldn'tthereasonwhyshekeptsilentatthemeeting.

A.lookforB.find

C.findoutD.discover

答案：C

施析：这是一道涉及动词短语辨析的习题。根据句意，其答案应为“找出；查出"；比

较四个选项的意义和用法即可确定正确答案。lookfor“寻找”，主要指“过程”；find“发

现；找到”，主要指“结果”；discover"发现”,有时可与find换用，但discover强调“发

现某种本来存在而此前未被发现的东西,或未为人所知的东西，尤指第一次或科学性的发现”。

Gilbertdiscoveredelectricity.吉尔伯特发现了电。findout表示经过打听、调查、询问后“弄清

楚、查明、发现”，常指隐藏无形的东西，如“道理、意义、罪恶、秘密”等。其后接n.

/pron./that/wh-clause/wh-word+todoo

Ihaven'tbeenabletofindoutwhobrokethewindow.

我无法弄清楚是谁把窗户打破了。

4.Dorothywasalwaysspeakinghighlyofherroleintheplay,，ofcourse,madethe

othersunhappy.

A.whoB.which

C.thisD.what

答案:B

解析：本题考查非限制性定语从句。根据句意“Dorothy老是讲自己在戏中的角色作用，

这当然使得其他演员不高兴”，C、D两项不可引导定语从句，可先排除，who,which都可

引导非限制性定语从句，而句中ofcourse这一插入语又是干扰项，学生极易错选A,要知道

使其他演员不高兴的不是Dorothy这个人，而是Dorothy所说的话。因此，只有B项which符

合题意。

5.Itwasinthehouseheusedtolivetheexhibitionwasheld.

A.where;where

B.that;that

C.where;that

D.that;where

答案：C

蔡析：要解答这道题必须弄清整个句子的意思和结构，句意为“是在他过去常住的那间

房子里举行的这次展览”；再经分析可知其句子结构：这是含有一个定语从句的强调句型，

先行词thehouse在定语从句中作地点状语，应用where引导定语从句，强调句型中要用that。

6.Thecomputercentre,lastyear,isverypopularamongthestudentsinthisschool.

A.open

B.opening

C.havingopened

D・opened

答案：

施析：D本题译为“去年开放的计算机中心在该校学生中很受欢迎”。题中空白处应为过

去分词opened,它构成过去分词短语作定语，相当于一个定语从句whichwasopenedlastyear。

7.（西城4月），weweretakentoseethelibrary.

A.Wehadbeenshowntheclassrooms

B.Beingshowntheclassrooms

C.Havingbeenshowntheclassrooms

D.Havingshowntheclassrooms

答案：C

解析：句意：我们先被领着参观教室，又被带去参观图书馆。首先，句子主语与Show

之间构成被动关系，因此可排除D项；A项为句子，需要加连词连接两个分句；B项相当于

Whilewewerebeingshowntheclassrooms,显然与后面的句子在时间上有冲突，故只有C项

正确。

8.IlikeJohn,butIdon'tfindhimphysically.

A.pleasedB.pleasant

C.attractionD.attractive

答案：

施析：题D意：我喜欢约翰，不过我认为他长得并不英俊。

9.Heorderedseveral,suchasaradioandairconditioningonhisnewcar.

A.extrasB.instruments

C.furnituresD.matters

答案：A

解析：题意：他还为新汽车订购了几样东西：收音机和空气调节器。

10.Wehavebeengoodfriendsformanyyears,andnothingcanourfriendship.

A.breakupB.breakback

C.getridofD.smoothaway

分享■

I=I•RA

解析：breakup表示“（使）……结束"；breakback”［体］突然反向行进扰乱对方防御”；

getridof"摆脱；除去"；smoothaway"排除困难；没有困难”。

A.thebodyofoldHarry

B.thelocationofHarry'shome

A.WashingtonandOregonareneightboringstates

B.ColoradoRiverrunsthroughYosemiteValley

C.theeruptionofMtStHelensalsocausedtroublewiththeYellowstonePark

答案：A

Oregon,andIdahowerecoveredwithdirtygrayash."由此我们可推断Washington,Oregon以及

Idaho是三个相邻的州。
