Unit 2 The Olympic Games language points课时作业

Ⅰ.单项填空

1．-Mr. Smith，I'm sorry to bother you，but it's the third day of June today.

-Oh，________rent！I am sorry it's late. I'll write you________ check right now.

A．the；the B．a；a C．a；the D．the；a

答案　D

解析　句意为：--史密斯先生，不好意思打扰你，但今天是六月的第三天了。--哦，租金啊！不好意思迟了。我现在给你开张支票。此处是房东在向租客催要租金。rent"租金"是说话双方都明确的东西，为特指，用定冠词the；check在此处为泛指，用不定冠词a。

2．The old man sat in front of the television every evening，happy________ anything that happened to be on.

A．to watch B．watching

C．watched D．to have watched

答案　A

解析　句意为：这位老人每天晚上都坐在电视机前，快乐地观看电视上播放的任何节目。adj.＋to do sth.表示"......地做某事"，happy to do sth.意为"快乐地做某事"；空格部分很像伴随状语，所以很容易误选B项，但是修饰watching应用副词happily；C项watched与句子的主语是被动关系，不符合语境；D项to have watched表示发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前，故选A。

3．The precious manuscripts were hopelessly________ by long exposure in the cold，damp cellar.

A．damaged B．destroyed

C．harmed D．ruined

答案　D

解析　ruin毁坏，损坏，指经过长时间的侵蚀而毁坏；damage一般是部分毁坏；destroy指彻底的毁坏、摧毁；harm损害，多指对肉体、精神方面的伤害。

4．With a violent effort，Mathilde Loisel overcame her grief and replied，"Nothing. Only I haven't adress. You're your invitation to some friend of yours whose wife will ________better than I shall."

A．turn out B．carry out

C．give out D．come out

答案　A

解析　四个选项中，只有turn out可以与副词well(better)直接搭配，意为"证明"。

5．All the scientific evidence________that increasing use of chemicals in farming________ damaging our health.
