参考答案:
1.正确答案:D
答案解析:表示“数百”、“数千”、“数百万”等不确切数目时,要用hundreds / thousands / millions of结构表示。D中hundreds of times意思是“数百倍”。答案为D.
2.正确答案:A
答案解析:the earth is round是客观真理,所以不管句子其它部分用什么时态,这个句子都用一般现在时。
3.正确答案:D
答案解析:根据句意可知应该用完成时,所以A答案错误。have been…表示状态,可以和表示一段时间的短语连用。have made和have become都是瞬间动词,不能和表示一段时间的短语连用。
4.正确答案:C
答案解析:taste是系动词,taste nice构成系表结构,不用被动语态。但第二个空格处应该用被动语态,因为hamburgers与sell out之间是被动的关系。所以答案是C.
5.正确答案:B
答案解析:such可以修饰可数名词单复数和不可数名词,名词前可以有形容词作定语,其结构是“such +a/an+形容词+可数名词单数”,“such+形容词+可数名词复数/不可数名词”。
6.正确答案:B
答案解析:reflect on:思索,思考,有时表示“怀疑”。根据句意,应该选reflect on.
7.正确答案:B
答案解析:due to是固定搭配,意思是:归因于,由于。
8.正确答案:C
答案解析:本句中,what is accepted as true是主语从句,在句子中作主语。
9.正确答案:C
答案解析:keep sb doing sth:使某人持续做某事。
10.正确答案:B
答案解析:what在本句中引导do的宾语从句。
