1.It----there are more women teachers in this school.
A.seem that B.seems what
C.seems that D.look where
【析】选C。It seem that…意为“看起来……好像……”,这是一个常用的句型,其中it本身无实际意义。这个句型的使用使得that从句部分的内容变得不肯定,或所表达的内容更委婉。另外“It is +形容词+for/of sb.to do sth.”是非常有用的句型,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式。如:
It is good for you to do more sport everyday.每天多运动对你来说是十分有益的。
2.-----,his gold watch was still lying there and nobody touched it.
A.To their surprise B.To their thinking
C.To their sorrow D.To their joy
【析】选D。to one’s surprise意为“使人吃惊的是”;to one’s joy意为“使人高兴的是”;to one’s sorrow意为“使人悲伤的是”。这是一种常用的表达方式,常放在句首,作状语用,表示行为的结果,强调“外界使某人吃惊、高兴等”。
3.But I had to-----the company and -----a man in order to get a job.
A.lie to;pretended to be B.lies;pretended to be
C.lie to;pretended to do D.lie for;pretended to be
【析】选A。1lie是不及物动词,“对某人说谎”应是“lie to sb.”。lie也常作名词,意为“谎言”。表示“说谎”应为tell a lie或tell lies。2pretend是及物动词,后跟名词、不定式或that从句均可。如:
The students pretended to be discussing a difficult problem when the headmaster came in .当班主任进来时,同学们假装在讨论一个疑难问题。
4.He-----the hospital after work to find out whether Mr King was better.
A.called at B.called on
C.called for D.calls at
【析】选A。call at和call on都有“访问”之意,但前者后跟地点名词,后者后跟人名。call at相当于“pay a short visit at a place”,call on相当于“pay a short visit to sb.”。又如:
He called on me yesterday.昨天他拜访了我。
5.But we have never----women--------in this part of our company.
A.had;worked B.has;working
C.had;working D.had;works
【析】选C。have sb.doing sth.意为“让/请某人干某事”,其中的have是使役动词。同样我们也可以用“have sb.do sth.”这一结构来表达这一意思。又如:
The farmers have the tractors run day and night.农民们让拖拉机整日整夜地在地里转着。
6.Don’t-----a person only because he has failed in an examination.
A.look down of B.look down upon
C.look for D.look upon down
【析】选B。 look down upon是动词短语,意为“轻视、看不起”。与look相关的词组:look for,寻找;look after,照看;look around,环顾四周;look out, 小心;look up,向上看,查阅;look forward to,期待,盼望等。
