【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查动词词义。turn意为“(使)转动,翻转,扭转,(使)变质”;pretend意为“假装,装作”;mean意为“意味着,想要,预定”;appear意为“出现,显露,看来,好像”。坐在我对面的人应是“看起来”神经很紧张。所以本题的答案选D。
[拓展]appear作不及物动词时,后面可以跟介词短语作状语,作系动词时可以跟过去分词、名词或代词、不定式及that, as if (though) 引导的从句等。
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查动词短语。deal、with意为“安排,处理,涉及,做生意”。本句意为“涉及某一品牌衬衫质量好的广告”,所以这里用deal with。tell about意为“告诉”;show off意为“炫耀,卖弄”;call for意为“要求,需要,提倡,号召”。
[拓展]与deal有关的搭配:make a big deal out of [美口]把……看得极为重要,对……极为重视,就……小题大做;Big deal! 妙极了! (假装赞叹的讽刺语);Good deal! [美俚]好极了! 好办法!;a big deal [美口]要人;重要的事;close a deal达成一项协议,完成一项交易;a good deal许多;make a deal with与……做成一笔交易;与……达成协议;a great deal许多。
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查副词。作者安慰他说:“你当然能说出来,你只是有点紧张。”simply意为“简单地,完全,简直,仅仅,只不过,朴素地,只是”;truly和really意为“真正地,确实地”;particularly意为“特别,尤其,格外”。根据句意本题的答案选C。
[拓展]simply用法举例:It"s difficult to get interesting teaching materials simply written. 写得简单的有趣的教学材料是很难获得的。I bought the house simply because it was large. 我买这套房仅仅是因为它面积大。
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查语义的衔接。从上文You are simply a little nervous. This is just a nervous attack. 可知这里作者正在对那位紧张的人进行开导,所以本句的意思应是“你一定不要放弃”,give in意为“投降,屈服,让步,交上,宣布”,符合题意。stop意为“停止,阻止”;hurry up意为“赶快,使赶快”;look意为“看”,均不符合题意。
[拓展]类似give in的固定搭配还有:give sb. in charge把某人送交警察,把某人交警察看押;give sb. in custody把某人交给警察,逮捕某人;give a hand in帮忙,参加;give instruction in讲授;give lesson in教授……课程;give a look in顺便看看(某人)。
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查语义的衔接。本句意为“他用手捂住脸。”hide意为“隐藏”,turn意为“转动,转向”,cover意为“覆盖,掩盖”,touch意为“触摸”。很显然本句应该用cover。
[拓展]与cover有关的固定搭配有:take cover藏身,躲避,避难;blow one"s cover[美俚](因隐蔽之地或身份被发现而)无藏身之地;be covered with盖满,覆满……;draw a cover把(猎物)由树丛中赶出;provide cover for给……打掩护;from cover to cover从头到尾一页不漏。
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查语义的衔接。下文里讲述作者重复了那几个词,所以这里作者应该是让那个人“听我说”,答案选C。其他选项talk to me“和我谈话”,allow me“准许我干某事”,show me“给我看”,均不符合文意。
[拓展]与allow有关的搭配:allow sb. to do sth. 准许某人干某事,allow sb. in/out/up(准许某人进入/离开/起来等);show常用的搭配是show sb. sth. 或show sth. to sb.。
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查语义的衔接。从上文“他笑了,完全恢复了正常”可以推知作者也是很高兴的。delighted意为“欣喜的,愉快的,高兴的,喜爱的”,符合题意;interested意为“感兴趣的,有权益的”;worried意为“焦虑的,闷闷不乐的”;astonished意为“惊讶的”。所以答案选B。
[拓展]与interested有关的常用搭配是be interested in sth.;与worried有关的常用搭配是be worried about sb. /sth.;与astonished有关的常用搭配是be astonished at sth. 或be astonished to do sth.。
