第一节 单项选择

1. People won't pay attention to you when they still have a lot of ideas of their own crying _______ expression.

A. from B. over C. with D. for

【考点】考察固定搭配

【答案】D

【解析】本句考察的是固定搭配cry for..迫切需要，本句中的动词短语cry for expressing与前面的名词a lot of ideas of their own表示主动关系，所有使用现在分词短语做定语。句意：如果人们有很多迫切需要表达的观点的时候，他们是不会注意到你的。故D正确。

2. There's no reason to be disappointed. ______, this could be rather amusing.

A. Above all B. As a result C. In addition D. As a matter of fact

【考点】考察介词短语词义辨析

【答案】D

【解析】介词短语above all首先，最重要的是；as a result结果；in addition另外，而且；as a matter of fact实际上；句意：没有让人失望的理由，实际上这件事情很让人高兴。根据句意可知上下文之间暗含的转折关系，而D项as a matter of fact"实际上"暗含的就是转折关系。故D项正确。

3. Half an hour later, Lucy still couldn't get a taxi ____the bus had dropped her.

　　A. until B. When C. although D. where

【考点】考察状语从句连词辨析

【答案】D

【解析】本题中的where引导的是一个地点状语从句，修饰动词短语get a taxi。句意：半小时以后，在公交车把他丢下的地方，他还是没有乘坐上出租车。AB项通常引导的都是时间状语从句，C想通常引导的是让步状语从句。根据句意可知D正确。

4. Today, we will begin _______we stopped yesterday so that no point will be left out.
