题目解答

答案

1.C

2.A

解析

本题考查英语词汇在语境中的运用能力，重点在于固定短语搭配和上下文逻辑理解。解题时需注意：

  1. 动词与介词的搭配（如 fly across the sky）；
  2. 固定短语的完整性（如 hear of 表示“听说”）；
  3. 上下文语境的连贯性（如根据后文“working dogs”推断空缺处应为“听说”）。

第1题

关键点：短语搭配。

  • 选项分析：
    • A. by（旁边）：不符合“飞过天空”的语境。
    • B. under（下面）：与“飞”矛盾。
    • C. across（横跨）：固定搭配“fly across the sky”表示“飞过天空”。
    • D. on（表面）：无法描述飞行轨迹。
  • 结论：选 C. across。

第2题

关键点：固定短语 hear of（听说）。

  • 选项分析：
    • A. heard（听说）：与“of”搭配，符合句意“你可能听说过工作犬”。
    • B. spoken（说）：搭配应为“speak of”，但主语是“you”，需用“have spoken”。
    • C. caid（拼写错误，应为“said”）。
    • D. asked（问）：与句意不符。
  • 结论：选 A. heard。
