Ⅰ.單項(xiàng)填空
1.To see what has happened, they are trying to get ________ the scene through the crowd.
A.close to B.closely to
C.close by D.closed to
答案:A 考查短語(yǔ)get close to。句意:為了看清發(fā)生了什么,他們盡力穿過人群靠近現(xiàn)場(chǎng)。get close to表示“靠近……”,close是副詞,表示具體的近;closely仔細(xì)地,嚴(yán)密地,密切地,多用來表示抽象的含義。
2.—It is said that John, together with his parents, ________ to America.
—Really? No wonder I haven't seen him these days.
A.has been B.has gone
C.have been D.have gone
答案:B 考查主謂一致。句意:——據(jù)說約翰和他父母一起去美國(guó)了。——真的嗎?怪不得這幾天我都沒有見到他。當(dāng)主語(yǔ)后有together with+n./pron.結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí),其謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單復(fù)數(shù)應(yīng)與主語(yǔ)保持一致。因John作主語(yǔ),故應(yīng)用單數(shù)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞;根據(jù)句意應(yīng)是“到美國(guó)去了”,故用has gone to;has been to表示“曾經(jīng)去過某地”。
3.The old lady was visited by four lovely kids, whose laughter made the empty big house ________ immediately.
A.get close to life B.bring back to life
