3.The [discovery] of gold in 1848 [transformed] San Francisco suddenly from a [quiet] portsintosone of the world's richest and most famous [city].
答對率﹕44%
答案﹕ d
cities
of 这里后面跟的是一个整体的概念,而San Francisco是cities的代表,也就是部分。
?这of后面一定要用复数吗???
6.Salt is manufactured in quantities that exceed those of most,.......,other commercial chemicals.
A.of an not
B.not if an are
C.are not an
D.if not an
答對率﹕49%
答案﹕ d
这里前后有逗号,初步判断是插入语;其次,前面已经出现了句子的主谓,所以B,C都是错误的,在不是从句的情况下又出现了系动词are,一个句子不能有两个谓语。A,an not 是什么东西,显然错误,不像插入语。
15.While studying the [chemistry] [of human body],Dr.Rosalyn Yalow won a Nobel Prize for the research she [conducted on] the [role of] hormones.
答對率﹕37%
答案﹕b
human bodies
还是of +可数n复数的问题。作为一个可数名词,除了一些情况,不然,要么前加冠词,要么复数。
?这of后面一定要用复数吗?是不是有这样的语法规则?
20.Bromyrite crystals [have] a diamond-like luster and are usually [colorless],but they [dard] to brown when [exposed] to light.
答對率﹕44%
答案﹕c
dare
用一般现在时,和前面的have时态上对应。而且过去式是dared。
这样写错单词的题,在考试中会出现吗?我在pp中可没遇到。
22.James Baldwin's plays and short stories,[which are] to [some degree] autobiographical,established [them] as a [leading] figure in the United States civil rights movement.
答對率﹕43%
答案﹕c
him
要理解句子的意思。
这里是plays and stories established James Baldwin as leading figure,是确立了JB(人,而不是plays and stories)在美国人权运动中的地位。figure是[人物]的意思。
23.Thunder can be [listened] from a [maximum] distance of about ten miles [except] under [unusual] atmospheric conditions.
答對率﹕35%
答案﹕a
heard
排除法
listen 常常以固定词组listen to出现,而且后跟具体的声音。
这个句子比较的学术,是普适的情况,不是说今天情况这样,明天情况就变了。那么hear用在这里比较合适。
?except后面可以加under这样的介词短语吗?
但hear /listen的区别确实应该注意,vt & vi.
