    「正確答案」
    D
    [注釋]本題考查介詞用法。[B]IN和[C]ON與其后的RATES沒有任何關(guān)系,構(gòu)不成任何搭配,故[B]和[C]應(yīng)立即排除。當(dāng)談到“速度”或“價格”時,RATE前面可以用AT.如:AT THE RATE OF 50 MILES AN HOUR或者ORANGES ARE SOLD AT THE RATE A DOLLAR PER KILOGRAM.在用作“比率”或“率”時,RATE前通常不加AT.如:THE RATE OF FINISHED PRODUCTS成品率。本題中ACCIDENT RATE意為“事故率”。選項[D]WITH可理解為“有”,“具有”,即“(具有)低事故率的公司”,所以應(yīng)該選[D]。
    [A]at
    [B]in
    [C]on
    [D]with
    42、[A]alive[B]vivid[C]mobile[D]diverse
    (本題分值:1分)
    「正確答案」
    A
    [注釋]本題考查固定搭配。KEEP SOMETHING ALIVE是固定詞組,意為“使……繼續(xù)有效,使……繼續(xù)發(fā)揮作用”,用在文章中語義通順。KEEP與VIVID(生動的)、MOBILE(移動的)和DIVERSE(多種多樣的)都不構(gòu)成固定搭配,故均應(yīng)排除。
    [A]alive
    [B]vivid
    [C]mobile
    [D]diverse

    (本題分值:1分)
    「正確答案」
    A
    [注釋]本題考查關(guān)系副詞使用知識。本句開頭說:當(dāng)這項工作(低事故率的安全計劃)的制定和實施出色完成后,無事故操作的氣氛便形成了。無事故操作氣氛的形成在低事故率的安全計劃得到徹底實施的地方才能實現(xiàn),所以四個選項在此處使用WHERE最為合適。

    [C]what
    [D]unless
    45、[A]alter[B]differ[C]shift[D]distinguish
    (本題分值:1分)
    「正確答案」
    B
    [注釋]本題實際上考查動詞與介詞的搭配使用。[A]ALTER意為“改變”,為及物動詞,后不接IN,故應(yīng)排除。DIFFER IN意為“在……方面不同”,此處選[B]完全符合上下文意思。[C]SHIFT(替換,轉(zhuǎn)換)通常與FROM ……TO ……連用。[D]DISTINGUISH意為“區(qū)別”,通常與FROM連用,DISTINGUISH A FROM B意為“將A和B區(qū)別開來”。
    [A]alter
    [B]differ
    [C]shift
    [D]distinguish
    46、[A]constituting[B]aggravating[C]observing[D]justifying
    (本題分值:1分)
    「正確答案」

    [A]constituting
    [B]aggravating
    [C]observing
    [D]justifying
    47、[A]Some[B]Many[C]Even[D]Still
    (本題分值:1分)
    「正確答案」
    D
    [注釋]本題考查連接詞的用法。在空格前,文章說:有些人強調(diào)機械方面的校正和檢驗。有些人則強調(diào)遵守規(guī)章和法規(guī)以實施安全工作,顯然下一句應(yīng)該是“還有其他人”的別的主張,所以根據(jù)上下文應(yīng)選[D]。
    [A]Some
    [B]Many
    [C]Even
    [D]Still
    48、[A]comes off[B]turns up[C]pays off[D]holds up
    (本題分值:1分)
    「正確答案」
    C
    [注釋]本題考查動詞短語知識。[A]COMES OFF(實現(xiàn),成功)。[B]TURNS UP(開大,調(diào)大,出現(xiàn),到來)。[C]PAYS OFF(使人得益,有報償,付清……的工資),選項[C]的意思與上下文相吻合。全句意為“單從財政的觀點上來看,安全是能使人得益的。”[D]HOLDS UP意為“舉起,阻擋”也與文章的意思不符。
    [A]comes off
    [B]turns up
    [C]pays off
    [D]holds up
