英语四级备考之完型填空
82. ____________________(他们的独生儿子从未想过) to leave them and strike out on his own though he is in his late twenties.
答案:Their only son has never thought
评析:本题所考察的不是一个固定短语,而是一个临时搭配,think to do sth的意思“想到做某事”,尤用于否定句中。请看《纽约时报》的例句:
As a mother, I never thought to ask myself how long I should try to preserve the lie of Santa Claus — as long as possible, I assumed. ( December 20, 2009)
作为一个母亲,我从未想到问一问自己:我该把这个圣诞老人的谎言保持多久--我想,能多久就多久吧。
83. Before you take any action, please remember to _______________(权衡你的决定会产生的后果).
答案:weigh the consequences of your decision
评析:本题是考察动词weigh的用法,这个单词除了“称量”的意思之外,还有“权衡,斟酌”之意。这里的consequence表示结果,要记得用复数。
84. He assured his friend that under no circumstances _________________(他会违背还钱的承诺).
答案:would he break / breach his promise/commitment to pay back / repay the money.
评析:本题考察的是倒装的用法,He assured his friend that后面跟的是一个宾语从句,这个宾语从句的句首有表示否定意义的短语under no circumstance(决不)。所以,这个宾语从句的主谓要倒装。
85. Most educators advise that kids ____________________ (不要沉溺于电脑游戏).
答案:(should) not be addicted to computer games. / (should) not indulge (themselves) in computer games
评析:本句的谓语动词是advise,所以宾语从句要用虚拟语气,即从句的谓语用should加动词原形,且should也可以省略。
86. Business major as he is, he has ____________________ (从未考虑过从事推销员的工作).
答案:never considered working as a salesman / taking a job as a salesman
评析:本题考察的是动词consider的用法,这个动词要求跟名词或动名词做宾语。“做推销员的工作”,可以说work as a salesman或者take a job as a salesman。请看《纽约时报》上的一个例句:
After putting in résumé after résumé, Mr. Mucha finally took a job as a Census worker. ( June 4, 2010 )
在投了一份又一份的个人简历之后,姆查先生终于找到了一份人口普查员的工作。
