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.
1. When I last saw them, the police ______ the robbers down Columbus Street.
A.were chasing
B.was chasing
C.chased
D.were on a chase
正确答案:A
[考点] 本句考查时态。
[解析] 我最后看到警察的时候,他们正追着扒手,朝哥伦布街跑去。
整句的时态为过去时,同时由于“我”看到的只能是“警察正追着扒手”,而不是看完了整个追捕的过程,因此要用过去进行时,主语the police为复数集体名词,谓语应用were,A项符合要求。
2. His ______ mind keeps turning out new ideas.
A.abundant
B.unbelievable
C.generative
D.fertile
正确答案:D
[解析] 他那富有创造力的大脑不断产生新想法。

3. The less the surface of the ground yields to the weight of a fully-loaded truck, ______ to the truck.
A.the greater stress is
B.greater is the stress
C.the stress is greater
D.the greater the stress
正确答案:D
[解析] 在一辆满载卡车的重压下,地表变形越小,卡车所受压力越大。
“the+比较级…,the+比较级”结构表示“越……越……”;前后两个部分都应该使用自然语序,有时第二部分可以使用省略形式,本句的完整形式为the greater the stress is to the truck,其省略形式为the greater the stress,因此选项D正确。
4. We all buy things on the ______ of the moment; this is what the retail trade calls an “impulse buy.”
A.urge
B.force
C.spur
D.rush
正确答案:C
[考点] 本题考查词组搭配。

A.urge“强烈欲望,迫切要求” B.force“力量,武力”
C.spur“刺激,刺激物” D.rush“冲进,急流”
on the spur of the moment是个固定搭配,意为“一时冲动,心血来潮”,如She always makes decisions on the spur of the moment. (她总是一时冲动做决定。)
5. ______ everyone knows, facts speak louder than words.
A.Since
B.That
C.It
D.As
正确答案:D
[考点] 本题考查状语从句的引导词。
[解析] 众所周知,事实胜于雄辩。
A项Since用于引导原因状语从句,不符合句意,故排除。B、C两项均不是状语从句的引导词,可直接排除,因此只有D项符合要求。
