考点一动词词义辨析
1．(2013·湖北高考)While intelligent people can often ______ the complex, a fool is more likely to complicate the simple.
A．sacrifice B．substitute
C．simplify D．survive
解析：选C 考查动词辨析。句意：聪明的人常常能把复杂的事情简单化，而愚蠢的人更可能把简单的问题复杂化。根据句意可知，这里用simplify与后面的the simple对应，the complex与后面的complicate呼应。sacrifice“牺牲”；substitute“代替”；survive“幸存”。
2．(2013·新课标卷Ⅰ)Try not to cough more than you can ________ since it may cause problems to your lungs.
A．check B．allow
C．stop D．help
解析：选D 考查动词辨析。句意：尽量不要过多咳嗽，因为咳嗽过多可能引发你的肺部问题。not more than one can help意为“能少尽量少”，符合句意。
