答案与题解:
1.D 这里是一个复合从句,缺的部分是带后边宾语从句的一个谓语成分。根据后边宾语从句的内容“never dream at all”,可以判断此处应该是claim,声称。demand, promise, agree都有后边的语义不符。
2.B as frequently as已经表达了“同样”的意思,所以also不符合这一空。quite不能用来修饰as... as这样的词组,而根据上下文的语境,这里应该是“刚好,恰恰”,所以答案是just。
3.A 根据上下文的语境,可以判断出这一空所衔接的前后两个句子有转折的关系,而且后一句为条件,despite与though都可以表示“虽然,尽管”的意思,但是despite是做介词是才有“虽然,尽管”的意思,此处缺的是一个连接词,所以只能用though。
4.C 这四个选项中,只有aware可以与of搭配,表示“意识到”,accustomed通常与to搭配,表示习惯于,同样used to也表示习惯于。而familiar通常与with搭配,表示“对…熟悉”。从语义与搭配两个层面来看,最合适的都是aware。
5.A night after night“一夜又一夜”,固定搭配。同样的结构还有year after year, day after day, week after week。相似的结构有day by day “逐日,一天天”;year by year,“逐年,一年年”。
6.A 此处是在in detail这一表达当中增加了一个形容词,来表示细致的程度。high表示高度的变化,strong是强度,deep是深度,用来表示细致都不合适。所以应该用great, in great detail,表示细致入微,描述得淋漓尽致。
7.D 从前边的visual,以及后边的sound, touch, smell, taste这些可以看出,这里指的是人所有的各种感官的感觉。感官叫做sense organ,所以这种种的感觉通常都用sense来表示。
8.B 根据上下文,可以发现此处是在描述一个事实。因此首先排除estimated“估计”,而这本最古老的书是已经被认定过了的,所以regard, consider都不合适,因此,答案应该是known,目前所知的。
9.A 此处是通过从前文所描述的这样一个事实,可以让我们认识到这个空后边所表达的内容。因此不是feel, think.也不是让我们确认,而只是发现,所以也不是ensured,而应该是see。
10.C 根据上下文的语境,可以判断出此处表达的是不能,不应叫醒睡梦中的人。首先排除need,另外ought通常跟to一块使用,所以也不可能。而would更should两者相比,后者的程度更深,更符合这个语境。
11.B 此处应该是及时的意思,in time,固定搭配。
12.B 此处考察的是被动语态,与动词awake的变形。这里是被叫醒,所以A和C都排除了,表示被动态而且形式又正确的应该是B, awoken.
13.D 这里表达的是从古到今的意思,通常都用笼统一些的概念,minute, moment表示的比较具体。所以用day比较合适。
14.C 此处所表达的是人类一直在尝试,“尝试,试图”通常直接用attempt to,或者用make attempts to,固定搭配。
15.A as...as句式,这里所表达的前后一样是指书的数目,与书中对梦解释的数目的一致性。
