1.(2019·南通质检) —We had________ really wet November this year.
—I can't remember________ autumn when it rained so much.
A.不填;不填 B.不填; the
C.the; an D.a; an
解析:选D 考查冠词。句意:“我们今年有一个很潮湿的十一月。”“我记忆中没有哪一个秋天下了这么多雨。”根据句意,此题两空都翻译成“一个……”,即泛指,故选 D。
2.Fully ________ to looking after three children at home, she no longer has time to enjoy the various activities in the club.
A.attached B.attaching
C.devoting D.devoted
解析:选D 句意:因为完全专注于在家照看三个孩子,她不再有时间到俱乐部去尽享各种各样的活动。be devoted to“专注于”,此处为过去分词短语在句中作状语。attach to“附属于,依恋于”。
3.________ on my computer, I found an email from my penfriend, ________ me to spend the summer holiday in his city.
A.On turning; invited
B.On turning; inviting
C.When having turned; to invite
D.After having turned; inviting
解析:选B 句意:一打开电脑,我就发现一份来自我的笔友的邮件,邀请我到他所居住的城市过暑假。第一个空考查on+doing ...结构,意为“一……就……”;第二个空为动词ing形式作非限制性定语,和email之间构成逻辑上的主动关系。
4.As is known to all, India attained ________ independence in 1947, after ________ long struggle.
A./; a B.the; a
C.an; / D.an; the
解析:选A 句意:众所周知,印度在经过一段长期的斗争之后,在1947年获得独立。此处independence是不可数名词,且非特指,前面不加冠词;第二空意为“一段长期的斗争”,struggle为可数名词,故答案为A。
