参考答案
正确答案:
46. 答案A。考点为固定搭配。Far and wide = everywhere:到处,四面八方;by far = by a great amount:很多,与形容词和副词的比较级和最高级时连用时置于这一类词之后,
47. 答案C。考点为固定搭配。
48. 答案D。考点为句子结构。“His gift … made Hawking an instant celebrity and (made) hisbook a bestseller”为主句,“revealing …”为介宾,“that … ”引导定语从句;被动语态在此不符合逻辑。
49.答案A。考点国固定搭配。earn a place in: 获得一席之地;fame 是不可数名词,achieve a fame用法错误,应去掉a,意为获取名利;
50. 答案B。考点为定语从句。Who在定语从句中担任方语,其他关系代词与关系副词与文意不符。
51.答案C。考点为语篇分析能力。根据上下文,在此只能选except: 除 … … 之外,其他介词文意不符。
52.答案B。考点为词汇辨析能力。Incredible: 难以置信的;difficult与very程度不够;surprising修辞不当。
53.答案B。考点为词汇辨析能力。Positive: 积极向上的人生观;negative: 消极悲观的人生观;sensitive:敏感;aggressive: 好攻击性的。
54.答案A。考点为语法结构。当what 从句做主语时,谓语部分必须是单数形式。
55.答案B。考点为句法结构。As …as 接平级比较的肯定结构:与 … … 一样,用法:as + adj/adv/numeral (数) + as +n/pron/clause.
