Ⅰ.语法单句填空
1.My first ________(impress) of him was that he was a kind and thoughtful young man.
答案:impression 考查名词。句意:我对他的第一印象是他是一个善良且有思想的年轻人。
2.He heard someone following him, and glanced round. He caught sight ________ a dark figure in the shadows.
答案:of 句意:他听到有人在跟踪他,便向周围扫了一眼,发现阴暗处有一个黑影。catch sight of看见;瞥见,符合句意。
3.The equipment for disabled people should be ________ easy reach in public places.
答案:within 考查介词短语。句意:在公共场所,残疾人使用的设施应该方便残疾人。由句意可知,填within,within easy reach在附近(距离不远)。
4.Scientists have found evidence ________ global warming caused the world's first horses to become smaller nearly 50 million years ago.
答案:that 考查同位语从句。句意:科学家们已经找到证据,证明大约5000万年前,全球变暖使世界上首批马的个头变小了。根据句意可知,空后说的是evidence的内容,并且句中不缺少成分,所以用that引导同位语从句。
5.—When did you get home last night?
—It was almost midnight ________ we arrived home.
答案:when 考查状语从句。句意:——你们昨晚什么时候到家的?——我们到家的时候差不多是午夜了。答语中“It was almost midnight”为主句,空处引导时间状语从句,应用连词when。此题容易误填that,误把答语当作强调句型。如果是强调句型,应是:It was at midnight that we arrived home。
