summer holidays.
A.not permit B.do not permit
C.mustn't permit D.couldn't permit
解析:选A recommend在此意为"建议",其后的宾语从句用虚拟语气,谓语用"should+动词原形",其中should可以省略。
6.He found a ________ foothold (踏脚处) on the wall and pulled himself up.
A.sharp B.weak
C.soft D.secure
解析:选D 句意:他在墙上找到了一个牢固的踏脚处,然后爬上去。由下文中"pulled himself up"可知,他找到了一个牢固的(secure)踏脚处。sharp"尖锐的,锋利的";weak"弱的";soft"软的";secure"牢固的,安全的"。
7.(上海高考) He got wellprepared for the job interview, for he couldn't risk ________ the good opportunity (机会).
A.to lose B.losing
C.to be lost D.being lost
解析:选B 句意:他为这次工作面试准备得很充分,因为他不能冒失去这次好机会的风险。risk用作动词后跟动词作宾语时,要用动词ing形式;he与lose之间是主动关系,故选B项。
8.More than two hundred people died or were ________ in the earthquake.
A.ruined B.injured
C.damaged D.destroyed
解析:选B 句意:两百多人在地震中死亡或受伤。ruin"毁坏,毁灭";injure"损害,伤害";damage"损害,损毁";destroy"毁坏,毁掉"。这四个单词中只有injure可以指人的生命或肉体受到伤害。
9.-Put these glasses away before they ________.
-OK. I'll put them in the cupboard.
A.have broken B.are breaking
C.get broken D.will be broken
解析:选C 句意:"趁这些玻璃杯还没有被打破,把它们收拾起来吧。""好的。我将把它们放在橱子里。"get broken意思是"被打碎"。空格前的they指代玻璃杯,它与break之间是被动关系,所以排除A、B两项;主句是祈使句时,before引导的时间状语从句应用一般现在时表将来,所以排除D项。故选C项。
