答案与详解 A组

1． B 指自然环境或生态环境时，environment前面要加the；作“自然、自然界”解的nature是不可数名词，前面通常不用冠词。

2． C 此处one = a job，指既能用到你的技术又是你感兴趣的“一类工作”。千万不要以为后面有定语从句修饰就是特指的，而误选D。

3． C 副词though常用于句末，意为“但是、然而”。另外，(and)yet也可表示“但是”，但要置于从句的前面。用indeed(的确)和anyway(无论如何)，意思不通。

4． B no worse than = as good as与……一样好。请比较：no better than = as bad as与……一样差；not better than不比……好。

5． A matter = is important要紧，重要。 6． B but转折连词，表“但是”。

7． C let alone。为固定短语“更不用说”、“不必考虑”。

8． C 不定代词one的用法，为避免重复，用one表泛指;that则表特指，不合此处用。 9． C come up with提供，提出；come down下来，下降；come up走近，发芽，长出；come to来到，达到，结果是。

10． C as引导非限制性定语从句，表“如同”。

11． A put up with固定短语，容忍、忍耐；put up挂起，张贴，建起；put off延期，推迟；put away放好，把……收起来。

12． B 根据逗号分开可知空白处不能填入谓语动词，A项从形式上就不对，根据语境应该用现在分词的完成式，此处work out表示“产生结果；有预期的结果，发展为”例如:I wonder how their ideas worked out in practice?我很想知道他们的想法在实践中取得了什么结果。 13． C size（服装等的）号码；pattern式样，图样；measure测量，尺寸。

14． A mean to do sth打算做某事，resist（doing）sth固定用法，忍不住做某事。 15． B value（物品本身的）价值，价格；price定价，价格；cost成本，费用。 B组

1． B would和not连用，表“不肯，总是不”。

2． A “the十形容词”表一类人或一类事物，the rich富人；a third又一。 3． D put into use投入使用，启用；put into effect实行，实施；make use of利用，take notice of注意。

4． D feel在这里表“身体不舒服”；make tea彻茶。 5． A 交际用语，表“好久不见”。

6． D should have done sth 表示本该做某事但却没做。 7． D go by依照……判断。pass by走过、漠视。 8． C 现在进行时表示现阶段正在发生的事。 9． A 由Now he’s a farmer可知，他过去在工厂工作过两年，用一般过时。此题极易因for two years而误选B和C；现在完成时包括现在在内，过去完成时需要与一个表示过去的时间或动作做对比，所以答案B和C都错了。

10． A 注意I think是插入语，句子主语the medicine与take(吃)是被动关系。

11． C 判断在as if, if, unless, when, while等连词后用现在分词还是过去分词的方法是：看主语与分词是主动关系还是被动关系。as if he was lost in thought=as if lost in thought。be lost in thought沉思。

12． C 第一空用that引导一个同位语从句；第二、三空分别用when和what(=how much)引导主语从句。

13． D 用where(在……的地方)引导一个地点状语从句。

14． D 去掉Was it后句子仍然成立，是强调结构，第一空填that；口语中简略回答用人称代词的宾格，Not me意为“不是我”。

15． D So what?(那又怎么样?)是一个习语，用以承认某事属实，进而提问其重要性或是否某人要有何行动。
