参考答案与试题解析

题号12345

答案DCACB

一.选择题(共5小题)

1.Pleasegetsomeonethewashingmachine.!wanttogetitassoonaspossible.()

A.torepair；toberepaired

B.repair；repaired

C.torepair；repairing

D.torepair；repaired

【答案】D

【分析】请让人修理洗衣机。我想要让它尽快被修好。

【解答】句子考查动词短语getsb.todosth.让某人干某事；getsth.done使某事被做；第一空由someone

可知使用不定式torepair；第二空repair与宾语it构成被动的关系，因此使用动词的过去分词形式。

故选：Do

【点评】考查不定式的用法，注意分析句子的成分，还应注意固定搭配。

2.Classicliteratureandartsarenotonlywhatusedtobepopularbutwhatlastandthrough

manygenerations.()

A.straggleB.fadeC.surviveD.repeat

【答案】C

【分析】经典文学和艺术不仅是在过去流行而且会在经历很多代之后仍然能够存留下来.

【解答】解析：A：挣扎；奋斗；B：消退；退去；C：生存；幸存；D：重复.根据句意”经典文学和

艺术不仅是在过去流行而且会在经历很多代之后仍然能够存留下来.”及所给选项分析可知，本题答案

为C选项；其余选项均不符合题意.故选C。

【点评】本题考查动词的辨析，做此类题目时一定要先弄清楚各个选项的含义及用法；再结合句意及其

它要求确定最终答案.

3.Theyaregoingtohavetheservicemananelectricfanintheofficeroomtomorrow.()

A.installB.toinstall

C.tobeinstalledD.installed

【答案】A

【分析】他们打算让维修人员明天在办公室里装一台电风扇。

【解答】根据句意及分析句子可知，该句使用了固定搭配"havesbdosth”意思是"让/请某人做某事"，do

sth是省略to的动词不定式，作宾语补足语。install与逻辑主语theserviceman是主谓关系，所以要用动

词不定式的主动态。

故选：Ao

【点评】熟练掌握动词不定式作宾语补足语的用法。

4.(2015,和平区二模)---DoyouthinkIshouldjointhesinginggroup,Mary?

---IfIwereinyourshoes,Icertainlywould.()

A.Noneofyourbusiness

B.Itdepends.

C.Whynot?

D.Idon'tthinkso.

【答案】C

【分析】句意：——你认为我应该参加合唱队吗，玛丽？

——为什么不呢？我要是处在你的位置，我就会参加.

【解答】答案C.

A项”不关你的事”；B项”视情况而定“；D项”我认为不是这样"；C项”为什么不呢？”表示同意或赞同；

根据句中"IfIwereinyourshoes,Icertainlywould"可知，说话者赞同对方参加合唱队，为什么不参加(合

唱队)呢？因此C项符合语境.

故选：Co

【点评】本题考查情景交际.解答此类题目首先应该读懂句意，分析上下文语境和逻辑关系.其次对每

个选项中的交际用语的适用情况要掌握，根据语境锁定正确答案.关键平时学习中要对交际用语多积累

多总结反复记忆.

5.IwilldoingwhatisrightandIwillnotchangemymind!()

A.sticktoB.insistonC.holdonD.puton

【答案】B

【分析】我将坚持做正确的事，我不会改变我的想法。

【解答】根据句意”我将坚持做正确的事，我不会改变我的想法。”可知，该空处表达的意思是“坚持”。

stickto”坚持"insiston”坚持“；holdon"等一等“；puton”穿上”。要注意stickto与insiston的区别：stickto

后接名词，表示始终如一坚持某人的观点、决定、目的、计划等，含有不灰心、不半途而废之意。insist

on指坚持自己的意见和想法，含有反对不同意见，坚持做某事的意思。该空表示”坚持做某事”，所以

选B。

故选：Bo

【点评】学生平时要多记忆词汇及短语，明确用法，区别不同的意思，才能够准确作答。
