    答案與解析:
    1.B。
    財政部長強調(diào),促進國民經(jīng)濟的關(guān)鍵不是產(chǎn)量,而是產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量。短語辨析題,要求后面考生能辨析...than的差別,并能正確使用。other than 表示“不同于”,“除了”;more than 是“大于”,“多于”,而better than 常指“比……更好”,“勝于”;只有rather than指“不是……(而是……)”,符合本題語境。
    2.C。
    如果人們不必為自己酒后的行為承擔責任,那么我們還是原諒那些酒后駕車的司機為好。本題是考察幾個與情態(tài)動詞相關(guān)的習(xí)慣用語的使用。might/may as well 是比較常用但許多考生并不明確的習(xí)慣表達,表示have no better reason not to...(沒理由不……還是……為好);沒有may well as 這種說法,另外兩個短語大多數(shù)考生比較熟悉:had better ——;would rather——寧可……也不,寧愿。
    3.A。
    要不是大夫趕來,他可能已經(jīng)死了。本題測試重點是虛擬語氣的使用。but for的意思是if not(要是沒有,要不是),要求后面跟虛擬語氣的謂語。其他三個選項從意思上均說不通。
    4.D。
    這些地區(qū)礦產(chǎn)資源貧乏,工業(yè)發(fā)展滯后,幾乎完全依賴農(nóng)業(yè),本題測試副詞的用法。四個選項分別為respectively(分別地,各個地);undoubtedly(毋庸質(zhì)疑地,的確地);incredibly(難以置信地);exclusively(排外地,專有地)。根據(jù)句意只能選D。
    5.B。
    很奇怪,艾米長得特別像她姑媽。本題測試take的短語動詞的使用。各選項的意思分別為:take down——拿下,記下,拆卸,病倒;take after——長得相似;take to——從事,喜歡,養(yǎng)成……習(xí)慣;take on——聘用,承擔(工作,責任等)。顯然本題正確答案是B。與take 相關(guān)的短語動詞有許多,請考生多加注意。
    6.D。
    實驗接近尾聲,即將獲得最后的成功。每個人都明白誰都承擔不起因一個小差錯而毀掉全局的后果。詞語辨析題,主要明確 can’t afford 的含義及用法。can’t afford 表示“承擔不起……的責任/后果”;inflict 后常接on/upon,表示“使……受(痛苦),給……以(打擊/懲罰)”;endure也常與cannot等否定詞連用,表示“不能容忍/忍受”;而 stand 表示“容忍”之意時與endure用法相同。
    7.D。
    老板強調(diào)指出,要做一名合格的服務(wù)員必須使自己的服務(wù)讓顧客滿意。本題考察介詞的使用。do sth. to the satisfaction of sb. 的意思是“把某事做得使某人滿意”,其他三個選項均不合題意。
    8.C。
    在經(jīng)過多年的努力工作之后,我才意識到金錢本身并不能帶來幸福和成功。
    本題考察考生對虛擬語氣和倒裝句的正確使用。only after 表示“在……之后”,要求后面跟虛擬語氣,同時,如果把only after置于句首則要求用倒裝語序,綜合考慮只有C答案正確。
    9.D。
    工廠引入自動控制之后,所有由手工進行的工作都將讓位于裝配線。本題是短語辨析題,主要考察考生對give way to 與take the place of 等短語/詞匯的區(qū)別。give way to (讓位于)既包含著take the place of / replace的意思,又不僅僅是take the place of / replace 的意思,它強調(diào)了被比較對象的關(guān)系,如 A gives way to B 表示“B 取代了A,A 因退步/落后等原因讓位于B”。所以本題答案是D。
    10.A。
    游客們正要欣賞壯觀的海嘯,突然一陣濃霧出現(xiàn)了,整個景色變得一片模糊。詞語辨析題,要求考生能夠辨析blur等詞語,并學(xué)會正確使用。blur—把視線、界限等弄得模糊不清;belittle—輕視,使……顯得渺小;ban—禁止,取締;collapse—倒塌,失敗,崩潰。
