2016年英语专业四级考试词汇语法真题参考答案与解析11. How can I concentrate if you _ continually _ me with silly questions?A. have interruptedB. are interruptedC. had interruptingD. were interrupting选A。 虽然我觉得更应该说you are continually interrupting me with silly questions。不过这里用现在完成时表示的是一个动作发生过成为过去经历，有可能多次发生，也就是打断一次、两次、三次等等不断重复到现在。12. Among the four sentences below, Sentence _ expresses the highest degree of possibility?A. It may take a long time to find a solution to the problem.B. It might take a long time to find a solution to the problem.C. It could take a long time to find a solution to the problem.D. It should take a long time to find a solution to the problem.选D。四个里把握度最高的是should，其次是may，最后是might和could。13. She is a better speaker than _ in the class.A. any boyB. the other boysC. other any girlD. all the girls选A。 主语是she，女的，所以不能选B。C的正确说法是any other girl。14. Nobody heard him sing, _?A. did oneB. did heC. didnt theyD. did they选B。根据专四语法出题依据的书新编英语语法教程（章振邦）317页，nobody这种附加疑问句，书面语里用he。口语里偶见they。实际上，现代英语里为了避免有语言歧视（为什么只有he，没有she），很多人都避免只用he，而多改为they。15. I cant put up with _.A. that friend of youB. that friend of yoursC. the friend of youD. the friend of yours选B。根据专四语法出题依据的书新编英语语法教程（章振邦）57-58页，这种双重属格结构所修饰的名词可带a, any, some等表示非确定特指的限定词，但通常不带定冠词。比如a daughter of Mrs. Greens, any/some daughters of Mrs/ Greens。16. There has been an increasing number of _ in primary schools in the past few years.A. man teacherB. men teacherC. man teachersD. men teachers选D。合成名词复数，man/woman这种，两种都要变成复数，比如women drivers。17. This is one of the issues that deserve _.A. being mentionedB. mentioningC. to mentionD. for mention选B。deserve后面接动名词表示被动含义。要么就说deserve to be mentioned。18. The audience _ excited on seeing _ favorite star glide onto the stage.A. weretheirB. wereitsC. wastheirD. wasones选A。虽然audience这个集合名词和class, team等一样属于可单可复，但用代词回指时要保持数的一致性。所以 C错了，要用its。19. _ your advice, I would have made the wrong decision.A. Hadnt it been forB. Had it not been forC. Had it been forD. Had not it been for选B。条件虚拟句if省略后，had、were、should要到句首倒装。20. The sentence “I wish I had been more careful in spending money” expresses the speakers _.A. hope B. joy C. regret D. relief选C。 wish这里引导的是虚拟句，我当时花钱应该更小心点。21. The Attorney General ordered a federal autopsy of Browns body, seeking to _ the family and community there would be a thorough investigation into his death.A. ensure B. insure C. assure D. ascertain选C。assure somebody that/ assure somebody of something指to tell someone that something will definitely happen or is definitely true so that they are less worried，也可以用reassure。Ensure是make sure的意思，后面不能接somebody。Ascertain是find out22. The police department came under strong criticism for both the death of an unarmed man and its handling of the _.A. consequence B. outcome C. result D. aftermath选D。aftermath指the period that follows an unpleasant event or accident, and the effects that it causes，最贴切原句说的意思。我找到了原句，见.au/news/2014-08-18/missouri-governor-deploys-national-guard-to-ferguson/5678396 Family speaks at public church rally那部分。出题人把姓名去掉，稍加修改。23. The Foreign Secretary tried to _ doubts about his handling of the crisis.A. dispel B. expel C. repel D. quell选A。dispel指to remove fears, doubts, and false ideas, usually by proving them wrong or unnecessary。Expel比喻义指to force someone to leave a school, organization, or country。Repel指People or things that repel you make you feel strongly that you do not want to be near, see, or think about them。Quell一般指to end a situation in which people are behaving violently or protesting, especially by using force。但是朗文当代英语词典、柯林斯、剑桥高阶等字典里收录或者列出了quell panic/fear/doubts。出题者这里不够严谨。24. Mutual funds are thus best for investors who dont want to take the time to study stocks in detail or who _ the resources to build a portfolio.A. deprive B. lack C. yearn D. attain选B。mutual funds指互惠基金，portfolio指证券投资组合，均为常见金融术语。25. Chris ran _ John at a sporting-goods trade show and the two quickly struck _ an easy rapport.A. intoup B. oninto C. acrosson D. againstinto选A。 run into somebody指to meet someone you know when you are not expecting to。这里的strike up指start a relationship or conversation with someone。Rapport源自法语，请自行查字典注意发音。指friendly agreement and understanding between people。26. “Im leaving the country soon,” he told a _ convened group of reporters.A. especially B. particularly C. specially D. specifically选C。convene指if a group of people convene, or someone convenes them, they come together, especially for a formal meeting。27. Israel and Hamas had reached a deal on extending the _ ceasefire by an extra 24 hours until Tuesday at midnight.A. contemporary B. makeshift C. spontaneous D. temporary选D。临时停火协议。Extend指to continue for a longer period of time, or to make something last longer。此题句子出自新华网/english/world/2014-08/19/c_133566415.htm 原文标题里其实用的同义词truce，估计怕学生不认识换成了ceasefire。28. _ to unplugging the alarm clock and trusting your ability to wake on time on your own, you should probably ease yourself into the new arrangement by keeping a very regular schedule for several weeks.A. Due B. Prior C. Related D. Thanks选B。 prior to相当于before。此题句子出自/30-days-to-better-sleep-get-rid-of-the-alarm-clock-3014965 倒数第三段里。29. If you are an athlete, strong abdominal muscles help you ensure a strong back and freedom from injury during _ upper-body movement.A. valiant B. variable C. vigilant D. vigorous选D。vigorous指using a lot of energy and strength or determination。Valiant指very brave, especially
