Part 1 Vocabulary Selection
Below each sentence, there are 4 choices marked by letters A, B, C and D respectively. Choose the word or phrase which best completes each sentence. There is only ONE right answer. Blacken the corresponding letter as required on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.

A.automatically

C.traditionally
D.resignedly

[解析] 19世纪时期,贫穷的欧洲人若想要发财,都会自然而然地把目光投向美洲。
本题为词义选择题。A项automatically“自然而然地,不自觉地”,B项obviously“明显地”,C项traditionally“传统地”,D项resignedly“无可奈何地,听从地”,对比各个选项,A项词义最符合。
2. The crowd went ______ as soon as the singer stepped onto the stage.
A.wild
B.emotional
C.uncontrolled
D.unrestricted
正确答案:A
[解析] 那位歌手一登上舞台,观众立刻掀起一阵狂热。

C.uncontrolled“自由的,未受控制的” D.unrestricted“无限制的”
3. The iron and steel industry ______ an important part in our national economy.
A.plays
B.played
C.play
D.playing
正确答案:A
[解析] 钢铁工业在国民经济中起重要作用。
当主语中包含有and时,如果它表示一个单一的概念,那么谓语动词要用单数动词,否则用复数动词。本题中的iron and steel industry表示的是一个单一的概念,因此谓语动词要用单数。所以本题的正确答案是A项。
4. ______ their help, we would not have succeeded.
A.Hadn’t been for
B.Had it not been for
C.It hadn’t been for
D.Had not it been for
正确答案:B
[解析] 没有他们的帮忙,我们就不会取得成功。
本句是省略了if的虚拟条件句,原句的正常语序为If it had not been for their help。省略if时,只提前助动词,否定词not不用提前,即Had it not been for…。故答案为B项。
5. What a nice day! How about the three of us ______ a walk in the park nearby?
A.to take
B.take
C.taking
D.to be taking
正确答案:C
[解析] 天气真好!我们三个到附近的公园散散步怎么样?
How about引导征求意见的疑问句时,后面一般接名词或动名词,其中about是介词。故C项动名词taking符合要求,句中the three of us作动名词taking的逻辑主语。
