1、【答案】A
【解析】remember后可接動(dòng)名詞或動(dòng)詞不定式,但意義不同。后接動(dòng)名詞時(shí)表示該動(dòng)名詞所表示的動(dòng)作已經(jīng)發(fā)生,例如:I remember seeing her once somewhere.我記得在哪里見過她。后面接不定式時(shí)表示該不定式所表示的動(dòng)作尚未發(fā)生。例如:I must remember to take my notebooks with me.我必須記著帶筆記本。根據(jù)題意我們可以看出,本句中非謂語動(dòng)詞所表示的動(dòng)作沒有發(fā)生,因此正確答案是A項(xiàng)。C項(xiàng)雖也是不定式,但不定式的完成形式表示該動(dòng)作在謂語動(dòng)詞的動(dòng)作以前發(fā)生,例如:He is said to have written a new book about workers.據(jù)說他又寫了一本關(guān)于工人的書。
2、【答案】A
【解析】 take charge of (=to be or become responsible for sb. or sth.) 負(fù)責(zé)、掌管、看管; He took charge of the department (or the children) .
3、【答案】D
【解析】invaluable的意思是“無法估價(jià)的,非常寶貴的”;valueless的意思是“無價(jià)值的”;respected意思是“被尊重的”;worthless的意思是“無價(jià)值的,卑微的”。
4、【答案】A
【解析】remain意為"依然;繼續(xù)存在",remain to do意為"仍然是……",例如:Their object remains to investigate the matter thoroughly.他們的目的仍然是徹底調(diào)查這一事件。remain to be done 結(jié)構(gòu)意為"某事有待去做",例如:Many problems remain to be settled.許多問題有待解決。由此可見D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。由于relationship和show是邏輯動(dòng)賓關(guān)系,因此該不定式應(yīng)該使用被動(dòng)形式,所以B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。由于remain后的不定式是仍然未發(fā)出的動(dòng)作,故不能使用完成形式,所以C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。
5、【答案】 D
【解析】 conservation 保存(自然資源等) the conservation of soil and water 水土保持; the law of conservation of energy 能量守恒定律。observation觀察; reservation (旅館房間、戲院座位等的) 預(yù)定; 保留 (意見) ; [美]保留地:1) Have you make your reservations? (你預(yù)定了沒有?) 2) I will accept the suggestion without reservation. (我將毫無保留地接受這項(xiàng)建議。) 3) The government has set apart Indian reservations. (政府已經(jīng)劃出印地安人保留地。) preservation保存 We must strive for the preservation of our natural resources. (我們必須努力保護(hù)自然資源) conservation, preservation, reservation從漢語概念出發(fā)時(shí)很容易混淆。Conservation是動(dòng)詞conserve派生的名詞, 與原來動(dòng)詞的意義相同, 表示"保持、保存”時(shí), 強(qiáng)調(diào)“珍惜、節(jié)用。 Preservation是動(dòng)詞preserve派生的名詞, 強(qiáng)調(diào)“收藏、保存”使之完好無損或質(zhì)量不變; 常與食品、博物館收藏的展品等詞搭配。Reservation主要指意見、看法等的“保留”; 作“保留地”解時(shí), 尤指美國印地安人保留地或澳大利亞土著民族保留地。本題指自然生態(tài)的保持, 用conservation最切題。
