2006年英语单选 天津卷
1. We had a picnic last term and it was a lot of fun, so let’s have______ one this month.
A. the other B. some C. another D. other 答案:C 句意:上学期我们吃了一顿野餐,很有趣,所以这个月让我们再来一次。 Another 是再一,又一的意思。the other是指二者中的后一个,用于结构one....the other
Other指两着中的第二个。语句中指明有两个事物,谈到第二个时,可以用其指代。
2. The cost of living in Glasgow is among the lowest in Britain,______ the quality of life is probably one of the highest.
A. since B. when C. as D. while
答案:D 句意:在格拉斯哥的生活费用是在英国是最低的,而生活质量可能是最高的。
这里while在词句中作为连词。表明前后两句的关系为转折关系,译作“而,然而”强调两种情况、活动等之间的差别。While还有“当…的时候”的意思,引导时间状语从句。
When(“当…时候”)可以和延续性动词连用,也可以和短暂性动词连用;而while和as只能和延续性动词连用。 例如:Sorry,I was out when you called me.(call为短暂性动词)对不起,你打电话时我刚好外出了。Strike while the iron is hot.(is为延续性动词,表示一种持续的状态)趁热打铁。 The students took notes as they listened.(listen为延续性动词)学生们边听课边做笔记。

-No, no sooner______ impossible now does seem possible.
A. had she gone B. she had gone C. has she gone D. she has gone
1
答案:A 句意:丽萨看到交通事故了吗?----没有。她刚一离开就发生了,不可能的事现在就变成了可能。no sooner位于句首还要引起半倒装。另外要看时态,A是过去完成时,C是现在完成时。
4. What we used to think______ impossible now does seem possible. A. is B. was C. has been D. will be
答案:B 句意:以前我们通常认为不可能的事,现在确实是可能的。Used to 过去常常,以前。所以用过去时。Does在这里是起强调作用。seem possible 是一个系表结构,这里seem是系词。
5. If you are traveling______ the customs are really foreign to your own, please do as the Romans do.
A. in which B. what C. when D. where
答案:D句意:如果你到外地旅游,而且那里的风俗与你的不同,请入乡随俗。地点用where
6. We want to rent a bus which can ___40___people for our trip to Beijing. A. load B. hold C. fill D. support
答案:B 句意:我想租用一辆可以容纳40人的车去北京旅行。
A load 负载物,计量单位;B hold 容纳 包含 (指容器)例子:the hall holds 900这个大厅可容纳900人;C fill 填满 :装满 一般指食物;D support 支撑, 一般指物质和金钱 或者人事物事 。
根据题意 首先排除D,因D不可能。车子不是用来支撑人的。再其次就是 C,一般fill后面接up 是填写单词或者句子等,而且题目说明了要装人,没有要装食物。再就是A,我在辞典上查到的是 一般常用于 复合词 举个例子: a bus load of tourists 一车旅客,很明显后面加的是连接名词 of 题目中显然没有。而且它还有另外个意思是计量单位。人不可能是计量单位。 所以也排除。 7.

2
A. unsatisfied B. unsatisfying C. to be unsatisfying D. being unsatisfied
答案:A 句意:好故事不必一定有圆满结局,但一定不能让读者不满意。 Leave+形容词,表示一种状态。所以首先排除C和D,B:unsatisfying 现在分词指物:无法令人满意的\"东西\";A,unsatisfied形容人的;
8. Most of us know we should cut down on fat, but knowing such things isn’t much help when it______ shopping and eating.

A. searching 搜索,寻找 B. asking 问,如果这里是asking for也符合题意,是请求的意思。 C. requesting 是要求、索要的意思。 D. questioning 是提问的意思。
11. We______ have proved great adventurers, but we have done the greatest march ever made in the past ten years.
A. needn’t B. may not C. shouldn’t D. mustn’t
答案:B 句意:我们或许无法证明是伟大的探险家,但是我们已经在过去的10年间进行了最伟大的行程。 比较:needn’t have done意为“本来不必做某事”,may not have done意为“(过去)可能没有做某事”,shouldn’t have done意为“本来不应该做某事”,(must表推测时不用于否定式)。根据句意,显然只能选B。
12. The Beatles,______ many of you are old enough to remember, came from Liverpool.
A. what B. that C. how D. as
答案:D 句意:披头士乐队(甲壳虫乐队),正如你们许多年龄足够大的人记得的,来自利物浦。
As,正如,就像…;又因为出现了逗号,属于非限制性定语从句,不可以用that; 13. Fitness is important in sport, but of at least______ importance are skills.
A. fair B. reasonable C. equal D. proper 答案:C 句意:健康在体育运动中是很重要的,掌握技能至少也是同等重要的。 四个选项中的形容词词意为:fair 公正的,reasonable 合理的,equal 平等的、同样的,proper 合适的、适当的。注意此句中but后面的分句为倒装句,of importance等于important作表语,作者实际上是拿skills和fitness作对照,强调二者同等重要。根据语境判断,此处用equal最为合适。

A. that B. which C. until D. if
