一、单项填空
1.According to tradition in some countries,______wedding ring is worn on the left ring finger,which is believed to be directly connected to the heart,______symbol of love.
A.a;the B.the;a
C.the;the D.a;a
解析:考查冠词的用法。句意:根据某些国家的传统,婚戒被带在左手的无名指上,都认为无名指与心脏连在一起,这是爱的象征。第一个空“the+名词单数”表示类别;第二个空a symbol of love“爱的象征”,因为这不是唯一的,故用a。
答案:B
2.The graduate can take the computer apart and put it back together again.I certainly wish he ______ me how.
A.teaches B.will teach
C.has taught D.would teach
解析:wish that+宾语从句,宾语从句中的谓语动词应用虚拟语气来表示。此处是与将来相 反的虚拟语气,因此用w ould do sth.或could do sth.。句意:那个刚毕业的学生能够把电脑拆开后又组装好。我真希望他能教我。
答案:D
