答案与解析:
1.D
史密斯夫妇今天非常兴奋,因为他们昨天买了许多家具。
此题考查名词的单复数。英语中有些名词只有单数,如furniture 前可用pieces of furniture,much furniture,a lot of furniture。因此D为正确选项。
2.D
据报道如今越来越少的工人愿意一辈子从事一个领域的工作,更不必说一个公司了。此题考查不同词组的含义。let alone意为“更不必说”,符合本题题意。all else (其他所有的),much worse(更糟糕的是),less likely(更没可能的是)均不符合题意。因此D为正确选项。
3.C
政府正打算同意采取广泛监督的手段时,却遭到了司法部的反对。此题考查时态的运用。少数几个前置词可带不定式作宾语,如about,but,except,save, than等后允许加不定式作宾语。be about+不定式表示“将来”的含义,因此C为正确选项。
4.A
尽管同样提供优质的服务,大多数酒馆要比同标准的旅馆的费用低。此题考查形容词词义。尽管equivalent 与alike, uniform都有“相同”的意思,但是alike常在句中做表语,不做定语;equivalent则可做定语,意为“相等的,相当的”,最符合题意;而uniform强调的是“一致的,一样的”;likely意为“很可能的”,一般做表语。因此A为正确选项。
5.B
由于卧室几乎没一点热气,埃文斯大半夜都感到很冷。
此题考查不定代词的用法。much指代不可数名词。many指代可数名词。most可指大部分,大多数。此处B项最为地道,为正确选项。
