参考答案

1.B

2.A本句考查两个并列句之间的连接的词。题干的意思是：“气球能够浮在空气中正如船能够浮在海面上一样。”在四个选项中，只有A项的justas有“正如，犹如”的意思。故选A。

3.C解析：句子的前半部分是主语从句，主语从句中的谓语动词时态应根据句意而定。

4.Ainparticular是固定搭配，意为“特别地”。

5.A

6.D

7.A解析：反问疑问句的陈述部分是肯定式时，疑问部分用否定式。以letme或letus起始的反问疑问句，疑问部分用willyou或won'tyou，所以选项A是正确的。

8.C

9.D

10.A【句子大意】新打字机的价格是二手货的三倍。

11.A解析：shape意为“(女人的)姿态，身段”；form意为“形状，形态”；appearance意为“外表，样子”；body意为“身体”。由题意知应选A。

12.C

13.C

14.C解析：notonly…butalso连接主语时，谓语动词根据就近原则由butalso后的成分来决定。TomandMary是两个人，所以动词用复数形式。

15.B解析：表示否定的副词前置于句首，句子需要不完全倒装，即助动词提前。其余选项均可排除。除Notuntil外还有never，seldom，rarely，seldom，no，little，hardly，innotime等否定副词或结构放在句首时，句子需要部分倒装。

16.C解析：本题考查词义的辨别。rise出现，put放下，raise提起，arise升高。

17.A解析：句意：她昏倒了。给她脸上浇些水，或许她会醒过来。本题考查词组辨析。comeround：过访，绕道而来，苏醒过来；comeback：回来，恢复；comeagain：再说一遍，重复一遍；comeout：出来，传出。

18.D

19.B

20.A
