【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】本句的意思是“市场对你的产品有需求”,“need”在“has”后面作名词,表示需要某物的表达是“have a need for sth.”,所以A项正确。
【答案解析】本题的解题关键在于考生要通过上下文看出空格所在句的语法结构。首先,空格处的词所在句子作“between”的宾语,因此可以排除选项“they”。因为“they”是人称代词的主格形式,顾名思义,只有被指代对象在句中作主语时才能用“they”。其次,“(32)……that limp along”在句子结构上与之前的“businesses that boom”是一样的,空格处的单词应该是能代表/表示“businesses”的词。虽然“these”和“those”都是指示代词,指代复数性的名词,但“these”一般指代前面提到过的,而“those”指代将要提到的。在文中,空格处的词显然不是指代前面提到的蓬勃发展的“businesses”,而是指代将要提到的艰难前行的“businesses”,所以要用“those”。因此B项正确。
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】本题考查固定短语“have something to do with”,表示“与……有关”。该短语中的“something”一词 lot”,“little”,“nothing”等词表示不同的意思:“have a lot to do with”表示“与……有很大关系”,“have little to do with”表示“与……几乎没有关系”,“have nothing to do with”表示“与……没有任何关系”。因此C项正确。
【答案解析】从空格后面的定语从句“who come along”中的谓语动词的形式来判断,空格处的词应该是可数名词的复数形式,或单数形式但意思表示的是复数概念的名词,所以“person”被排除了。“people”是个表复数概念的名词,其复数形式“peoples”表示的是另一个意思“各民族”,但文章在这里谈论的是如何选人,所以“peoples”应排除。因此B项正确。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】通读空格处所在的整个句子,可以发现“or”前面的“to fill the job quickly with one of the first few People who come along”和后面的“…someone who is only sumcient”是并列关系,与“to”构成不定式,修饰“temptation”,所以,此处应该用动词原形。因此A项正确。
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】作者在文章最后一段的第一句提醒人们,选人是一件耗费时间和精力的事情;你不能为了赶紧回去干自己的事就草草地定个人选了事。句子“You want to stop…and get back to Your business”是说明之所以会这样做的原因,而非结果,所以“so”可以排除。“while”意为“而”,表示两个动作的对比。因此应选表示原因的B项。
