单选题
A. predict B. remember C. forget D. remind
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查根据语境判断词义。句首的while表示转折,“虽然我们都在关注爱滋病的防治,我们也不能忘记我们长久以来的敌人——癌症”,因此要用let's not forget that…。A选项predict意为“预见,预料”;B选项remember意为“记起,记住”;D选项remind意为“想起,提醒”。这三个选项都不能说明原句的意思,故只能选C。
单选题
A. both B. never C. besides D. not only
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查固定搭配,后面有but also,所以我们要想到not only …but also…是固定搭配。
单选题
A. at least B. at most C. in addition D. at last
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查语法。这里需要的是动词believe的宾语从句的引导同,而且该引导词在该从句中又不做任何成分,因此用that。造成判断困难的是在动词believe和后面的宾语从句之间有一个状语based on the recent advances of modern medicine,抓住句子的主体结构是关键。
