09高考英語專項復習：單項選擇題及詳解<5>

　　1.On yesterday interview, he didn’t make a　　at all; what’s the matter with him?

　　A. apology       B. appearance

　　C. difference      D. change

　　選B。 make an apology“道歉”；make in an appearance“露面，在場”；make a difference“有變化，有作為”；make a change “有所改動”。題意為“昨天的面試，他根本沒露面”。

　　2. —How much farther shall we have to go?

　　—Another five miles until we reach the mountain

　　______ .

　　A. at a distance       B. in a distance

　　C. at distance        D. in the distance

　　選D。考查詞組。無B、C結構，at a distance “從某一距離，在某一距離”；in the distance“在遠處”。

　　3. The discovery of new evidence led to______.

　　A. the thief having caught

　　B. catch the thief

　　C. the thief being caught

　　D. the thief to be caught

　　選C。這句話的意思是：新證據的發現使得小偷束手就擒。to是介詞，后面接了動名詞的復合結構，the thief是動名詞的邏輯主語。

　　4. Smallpox, a kind of disease, has now died______.

　　A. out        B. away

　　C. off         D. down

　　選A。die out “滅絕，消失”。die away“漸息”；die down“平息”；die off “(花、草)枯死”。

　　5. — Why were you not at the concert last night?

　　— I ______ a close game between Seattle Sonnies and Miami Bucks.

　　A. watched            B. was watching

　　C. have watched        D. had watched

　　選B。本題考查時態。過去進行時表示過去某段時間正在進行的動作。

　　6. —No wonder you caught a cold. You______out last night without a coat.

　　—I know how silly I was.

　　A. shouldn’t have gone

　　B. mustn’t have gone

　　C. couldn’t have gone

　　D. mightn’t have gone

　　選A。本題考查“情態動詞＋have done ”結構的用。mustn’t have gone 是錯誤的表達，couldn’t have gone 和mightn’t have gone 雖然也有“本不應該做卻做了”含義，但其語氣遠shouldn’t have gone 弱，且它們主要用來表示對過去是否發生某一行為進行推測。

　　7.______you don’t like him is none of my business.

　　A. What    B. Who   C. That    D. Whether

　　選C。本句的謂語動詞是is，前面是一個主語從句； “you don’t like him”是一個意思完整的句子，從句不需要任何有詞義的連詞引導，that只起連接作用，無詞義，所以選C。

　　8. As______rule, apples are sold by      weight and eggs by       dozen.

　　A. a; 不填；the          B. a; the; the

　　C. a; a; the               D. the; 不填；不填

　　選A。as a rule(通常地)是固定詞組；在度量名詞前，表示付工資、賣、租等方式時，用the, 如paid by the hour (day, moth, piece…), sold by the yard (dozen, ton…)，比較by weight (按重量)。

　　9. I was so familiar with her that I recognized her voice______I picked up the phone.

　　A. the moment      B. after

　　C. before           D. while

　　選A。名詞短語the moment用作連詞，相當于as soon as，引導時間狀語從句，意為“一……就”。類似用法的短語或詞還有the minute, the instance, directly, immediately等。
