A.typically B.exactly
C.actually D.personally
解析:选D 句意:她的妈妈说:"玛丽,当老师在课堂上说一些泛指的、大家不愿听的话时,不要认为那是针对你而不高兴。尽力而为就行。"take sth. personally为固定用法,意为"因为某人的言行针对自己而不快"。题干中的general与personally"针对个人地"形成对比,由此也可确定D项正确。
12.The accused man declared that he was ________ of the crime and believed that he would eventually be released from prison.
A.ashamed B.guilty
C.ignorant D.innocent
解析:选D 句意:这个被指控的男子声称他没有罪(他是无辜的),并相信他最终会被从监狱里放出来。be innocent of "没有犯......罪,无辜的";be ashamed of"以......为羞耻";be guilty of "对......感到内疚";be ignorant of"对......不知道/不了解"。
13.I strongly feel that whatever our friends ________ matter to us.
A.do do B.does do
C.does does D.do does
解析:选D 分析句子结构可知,that引导宾语从句,其谓语动词是matter, whatever our friends ________是主语从句,从句中缺少谓语,故用do;另一个词是对matter的强调,因主语是从句,故用does,所以选D。
14.________, she stood and stared while the police arrested her husband.
A.Amazing B.Being amazed
C.Amazed D.Amazement
解析:选C 句意:当警察逮捕她丈夫时,她站在那里,十分惊讶地看着。此处考查形容词作状语,表示"感到惊讶的"用amazed;而amazing表示"令人惊讶的"。
15.-Some Chinese students find it difficult to understand native speakers when in London.
-Exactly, ________ they've learned a lot about grammar and known many words.
A.if only B.now that
