题目解答
答案
(1). B
解析:
根据句意,空格意为“当……时”或“如果”,可见选项B为正确答案。
知识点:连词
(2). A
解析:
根据句意,选项A项符合题意。
知识点:动词
(3). C
解析:
根据上句内容,可以确定C项为正确答案。
知识点:形容词
(4). B
解析:
空格是一种表达结构“祈使句+and+句子”,故从结构分析,正确答案为B。选项A和C不符合题意,应排除。选项Duntill与上句中“for a couple of minutes”存在语义矛盾,也应排除。
知识点:连词
(5). D
解析:
根据空格前句法结构“since you have met...”可确定D项this符合句意,意为“既然你曾碰到过此人……”。选项A和B代入后是错误表达,应排除;选项C与句意不符,也应排除。
知识点:代词
(6). C
解析:
根据上文,空格所在句意应为“只是你得把名字给回忆起来”,故选项C为正确答案。
知识点:副词
(7). D
解析:
首先排除选项A和C,因为这两项与空格后成分无法搭配;从句意上来看,选项D比C更合适。
知识点:动词
(8). B
解析:
根据句意分析,选项B为最佳选择。本题答案的选择可参照下文空格所在句,因为其中出现了“activities in the subconscious mind”的表达式。
知识点:名词
(9). C
解析:
由于空格前有不定冠词“a”修饰名词memory,故memory在句中的意义就不是“记忆”,而是指“记忆中的人或事物”。由此可见,四个选项中能与memory搭配,又符合上下文语义的只有C项unclear(模糊不清的)。
知识点:形容词
(10). B
解析:
根据上文,作者强调不要试图拼命回忆。由此可见,空格处应选B项与never搭配,意为“强迫自己回忆几乎总是无济于事”,这样符合上下文语义。
知识点:副词
(11). A
解析:
由于分号后说“it only tightens it”(这只会使记忆绷得更紧),与分号前语句为转折关系,故空格处实际只须找一个与动词tighten意义相反的动词,由此可见,答案应为A项。
知识点:动词
(12). B
解析:
根据上下文,尤其是下文中语义可知,这种方法对考试中的学生尤其有帮助。故本题答案应为选项B,意为“在考试中”。
知识点:介词
(13). C
解析:
根据句意,只有选项C合适。
知识点:介词
(14). D
解析:
根据上下文,作者在讲述学生考试中做题的顺序过程,由此可见,本题空格处应选一表序列的副词,故选项D为正确答案。
知识点:副词
(15). A
解析:
“confident”作形容词表示“确信的,有信心的”,一般与介词of搭配使用,故本题正确答案为A。其名词形式“confidence”表示“信心”或“信任”,作“信任”解时,常与介词in搭配,如:have confidence in sb.(信任某人)。
知识点:介词
(16). A
解析:
空格涉及固定动词搭配“take place”,意为“发生”。
知识点:名词
(17). D
解析:
根据上下文,下意识活动可使人们处理一些难以回忆起来的东西,而本题涉及的下意识活动可使人们处理“比较困难的问题”,故答案为D。
知识点:形容词
(18). A
解析:
名词“answer”意为 “答案”,常与介词to搭配使用。
知识点:介词
(19). D
解析:
根据上下文,选项D为最佳答案,代入后意为“进入意识”或直接译成“……答案将开始出现”。
知识点:动词
(20). C
解析:
根据上下文,选项C符合题意。
知识点:副词
