Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors

Ⅰ.单项填空

1．—Jack works hard.

—So he does.He is often seen________heavily before his teammates have even arrived.

A．to be sweated C．be sweated 答案 D

解析 考查分词作主补。此处是see sb.doing“看到某人正在做 ”的被动结构，空格处的内容作主语补足语。动词sweat与其逻辑主语he之间为主谓关系，故用现在分词作主补。

2．The carrot should be________into small pieces if you want to make dumplings.

A．cut down C．cut in 答案 D

解析 cut up切碎，符合题意。cut down减少(开支)，砍倒；cut off切断，中断；cut in打断，插话，均不符合题意。

3．The disaster took away his family but with a strong will he finally________.

A．picked up C．got across 答案 B

解析 考查短语辨析。pull through渡过难关。句意为：灾难无情地夺走了他的家人，但是，凭着坚强的意志，他最终渡过了难关。pick up恢复，派人去接；get across通过，使 被理解；work out锻炼，计算出。

4．The most exciting thing for him was________he finally succeeded in________seemed to be the

most difficult exam for him. A．that；what C．what；that 答案 A

解析 考查表语从句和宾语从句。分析句子结构可以看出，第一空在系动词was之后，

B．sweated D．sweating

B．cut off D．cut up

B．pulled through D．worked out

B．that；which D．what；which

作表语，应由连接词that引导从句构成表语从句；第二空处作介词in的宾语，且引导词在从句中作主语，表示“ 的事或东西”，应用连接代词what引导。 5．—Terry, I need to see a doctor.

—________？ A．So what

B．What else

C．How come 答案 D

D．What for

解析 考查交际用语。what for相当于what do you see a doctor for。 6．Everyone present will be given a present________their ages.

A．in spite of C．in place of 答案 D

解析 考查短语辨析。句意为：不管年龄大小，每个到场的人都会得到一份礼物。in spite of尽管； instead of和in place of代替； regardless of不管。根据句意选D项。

7．Let’s go to ________ cinema—that’ll take your mind off the problem for ________ while.

解析 go to the cinema固定搭配，表示“去看电影”；for a while固定搭配，表示“一会儿”。

8．I’m________this wet and cloudy weather; it’s time we had some sunshine.

A．caught up with C．come up with 答案 D

解析 句意为：我对这种阴湿天气极其厌烦了，该出出太阳了。根据前面的“阴湿天气”和后面的“出太阳”判断，所缺的词意思为“厌烦”，所以填fed up with，意为“对 厌烦”。

of the North and Baltic seas. A．assumed

B．suggested D．arranged

B．instead of D．regardless of

B．the；a D．a；a

B．is proved

D．was proved

C．has been proved 答案 A

解析 考查时态和语态。此处的prove是系动词，表示“证明是，表明是”。后三项中的prove都是实义动词，语法结构不太恰当，而且D项的时态不符合语意。
