一、单项填空 1.While income worry is______rather common problem of the aged,loneliness is another problem that ______ aged parents may face. A.a;/ B.the;/ C.a;the D.the;the 解析:考查冠词的用法。第一个空用不定冠词表示泛指与后句的another相对应;parents是复数名词表示泛指,因此其前不用冠词。句意:虽然收入的担忧是老年人普遍存在的一个问题,而孤独是老年人可能面对的另一个问题。 答案:A 2.Jack came from a poor family,so his parents had to ______ a lot to pay for his education. A.accuse B.qualify C.purchase D.sacrifice 解析:考查动词词义辨析。sacrifice sth.to do “以牺牲……做某事”;accuse常与of连用,表示“控告”;purchase“购买”;qualify“使合格,使具备资格”。 答案:D 3.As is known to us all,green employees cannot develop well ______ they lack chances of practicing. A.before B.when C.while D.unless 解析:考查连词的特殊用法。when在这里表示条件,相当于if “如果”。句意:众所周知,如果没有锻炼的机会,没有经验的员工是不能有很好的发展的。 |
