答案
解析
解析:provide意为“提供”。根据下文中的“they couldn’t give much more”可判断出作者的父母亲提供生活必需品。get意为“获得;赚得;赢得,博得,取得”;make意为“做,作,造,制造,做成,造成,建设;创作,著作,拟,起草;制定,设置;征收”;buy意为“买,购”。
37.答案:B
解析:but用于构成并列句,意为“但是”,根据“My parents provided the necessities of life”与“they couldn’t give much more”的意思可判断出它们是转折关系。while表示对比,指“尽管” “虽然”,但程度不如still强烈,所引导的从句多位于主句之前,表示并列关系,指“而”“当……却……”,所引导的分句多位于句末,偶尔位于句首。but表示转折,指和上一分句所述情况相反,上下分句形成对比,一般不用在句首,更不用在句末,后面一般也不加逗号。so意为“因而,所以,那么,这样看来”。or意为“或,或者,还是”。
38.答案:C
解析:ask...for意为“向……请求,要求”。根据下文中的if you want them可判断出表示“如果我向父亲要一条牛仔裤”。ask...about意为“向……问关于……”。ask of后接表示“人”的名词或代词,意为“要求,期望”。
39.答案:C
解析:make the money and buy them是祈使句,其逻辑主语是you,所以要用反身代词yourself,表示“你自己”。
40.答案:D
解析:afford指时间或经济能力可以“花费得起,经受得住”,须与情态动词can,could或be able to搭配。根据上文中的“they couldn’t give much more”可判断出“买不起”。pay意为“付清,偿清,缴纳”;find意为“找到;获得;发现;(偶然)看见,拾得,遇见”;produce意为“生,产生,生产,结(果实)”。
41.答案:D
解析:graduate意为“毕业”,根据下文中的from high school可判断出当作者在高中毕业时,参加了海军。come意为“来,过来”,come from high school表示“来自高中”;return意为“回来,回去,返回”;escape意为“逃走,逃亡,逃脱,逃逸,逃避”,都与上下文的内容不相符。
42.答案:B
解析:task意为“任务”,一般指分派的工作任务,也指自己要求做的工作,可指体力劳动或脑力劳动,多含困难和辛苦的意味。根据下文中的“These could be anything from cleaning the camp to conducting mock battles.”可判断出在海军的生活,集中在完成日常工作中。drill意为“操练,演习;(严格而有系统的)盘练,训练”;exercise意为“演习,操练,训练;〔常 pl.〕运动,体操”;report意为“告知,报告,汇报;报导(新闻、调查结果等);发表,公布,发表公报”。
43.答案:C
解析:require意为“需要,要求;命令”,指按规章、惯例或需要,要求对方做某事或履行某种义务,往往认为有权力提出要求,含有强制、命令的意味。根据部队的实际情况和其宾语可判断出,完成这些任务需要纪律。include意为“包含,包括,算入,计入”;ask意为“求,请求,祈求”;meet意为“满足,迎合”。
44.答案:A
解析:matter作动词的意思是“关系重要,要紧”。根据下文中的“everyone worked together”可判断出无论你是黑人、白人或亚洲人都没有关系。mean意为“意指,用……意思说,意味着,就是”;exist意为“存在,有”;work意为“工作”。
45.答案:A
解析:good作名词意为“利益,好处,用处”,根据上文的内容可判断出大家在一起为整个团体的利益而工作。boss意为“老板,上司,经理,工头,工长”;rest意为“残留的人,其余的人”;right意为“权利”。
46.答案:B
解析:go on意为“继续”。根据上文中的“When I graduated from high school,I joined the navy.”可判断出作者继续学习,go out意为“出去,熄灭,过时,罢工,向往,辞职,倒塌”;go away意为“走开”;go off意为“离开,去世,消失,睡去,爆炸,被发射,进行,变质”。
47.答案:C
解析:enjoy意为“享受……之乐,欣赏,喜爱”。根据下文中的“These prove popular and word of them spread.”可判断出作者最喜欢做咨询工作,因为只有喜欢才能把工作做好。take意为“取得,获得,拿到,(从某处)得到”。hate意为“不愿,不喜欢”,与下文所提供的情境矛盾。do虽然可以与the part of my job构成短语,但与副词more无法连用。
48.答案:D
解析:hold意为“举行,开(会)”。“I held with the family members of the men and women...”是定语从句,作meeting的定语,表示与男女家庭成员在一起举行的咨询会。end意为“使完结,了结,终止”;begin意为“开始,着手,动手”;continue意为“连续,继续,延伸”。
