Ⅰ.单项填空
1.There are a(n)________of plants in the old man’s yard,such as trees,flowers and grass.
A.group B.kind
C.amount D.variety
解析: a variety of意为“种种,各种各样”。句意为:在这老人的院子里有各种各样的植物,比如树木,鲜花和草。而a group of意为“一组(群,伙)”;a kind of意为“一种”;an amount of意为“许多,大量”,只修饰不可数名词。
答案: D
2.—How long has your grandma________.
—About three months.
A.fallen ill B.been ill
C.fall ill D.be ill
解析: 句意为:——你奶奶生病多长时间了?——大概三个月了。fall ill强调突然病倒,是短暂性动词短语,不能与一段时间状语连用;be ill表示生病的状态,是延续性动词短语,可与一段时间状语连用。结合句意可知应选B。
答案: B
3.The fellow felt rather________as he was the only person that wore sportswear at the party.
A.in place B.out of place
C.by the way D.in the way
解析: 句意为:在宴会上,小伙子感到很不自在,因为他是惟一一位穿运动装的人。in place适当的;out of place不适当的,不恰当的;by the way顺便说一下,顺便问一下;in the way挡道。
