Answer 1

1-5 CBDAC 6-10 DACAD 11-15 ACDAB 16-20 ACDCB

解析:

1. C  由上文暗示可預(yù)期：理論上說，一個人越早學(xué)語言，他(她)會越容易學(xué)好�！癟he +比較級，the+比較級”表示“越來越……”。C、D為可選項，而D意不符，故選C。

2. B  考查轉(zhuǎn)折連詞的使用區(qū)別。but連接句子時其后不可用逗號；however前后可用逗號隔開；though常放于句末；yet與but相似，故選however。

3.D  根據(jù)上下文暗示可預(yù)期：練習(xí)語言的基本表達(dá)能力……，A、B、C都不符和句意，故選expressions表達(dá)。

4.A  由上下文提示可預(yù)期：直接通過合適的閱讀方法和努力，才能形成能力，而orally意為“口頭”；properly意為“合適地”，因上文已出現(xiàn)proper reading ways,故有重復(fù)之嫌；indirectly意為“間接地”；故選directly(直接地)。

5. C  由上下文可預(yù)期，談?wù)摰膶ο蠹词莄hildren孩子。

6.D  由上下文可預(yù)期：先是花錢去學(xué)，而后是失望收場。A、B與句意不合，finish不與up with搭配，end up with意為“以……結(jié)束”。

7. A  根據(jù)句意可預(yù)期：付(花)錢多，失望大。take常用在結(jié)構(gòu)：it takes sb  some time / money to do sth 花某人時間或錢做某事；B、C與句意不符。

8.C  由上下文暗示可預(yù)期：因為不喜歡才來了一位學(xué)英語的大學(xué)生，從而開發(fā)了她的興趣；故選disliked不喜歡。其他不符。

9.A  因為外籍教師對心理學(xué)的盲點，才導(dǎo)致她厭學(xué)。because和because均表示“因為”，但前者為連詞，后者為介詞；instead of是介詞；instead是副詞。故用because of。

10.D  介詞to 意為“對……而言(來說)”。

11.A. go on doing指繼續(xù)不停地做同一件事；go on to do指繼續(xù)去做另一件事；go on with sth 指停頓后接著去做同一件事；D為干擾項，故選learning。

12.C. when表示“當(dāng)時”，相當(dāng)于and at that time；while表示“在……時候”；where表示“在……地方”；as表示“因為”、“在……時候”。

13.D. introduced意為“介紹”；practised意為“練習(xí)”；explained意為“解釋”，均不合句意，而developed(開發(fā))正合語境。

14.A  have some difficulty / trouble (in)doing sth意為“做某事遇到困難”。

15. B  由上下文可判斷。

16.A  根據(jù)上下文可預(yù)期：發(fā)音好但詞匯量不夠——缺陷，故選pronunciation。

17.C  根據(jù)上文可知，表否定但無比較，可知選項為A、C；而few修飾可數(shù)名詞，故選little修飾不可數(shù)名詞。

18. D  根據(jù)文意，文章顯然為記散文，可知選項為C、D，相比之處，remember(追憶，記得)不如memorize(記住)恰當(dāng)。

19.C  因在四個選項中只有cause后接不定式的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)時不定式要帶to。

20. B  get back意為“回來，返回”；let go意為“放開，錯過”；bring in意為“引來，吸收”；go away意為“走開，離開”。
