- 错选了A。
must have done只能用于肯定推测。 - 错选了A。
of no avail, 韦氏词典的解释是: not helpful. e.g. Our best efforts were of no avail.
of no consequence, collins里的解释是: not important or valuable. 同时也有of consequence. e.g. Where he is from is of no consequence to me.
没有of no ground, 但是有: have no ground, e.g. Therefore, they said, the city has no grounds for a claim. - 显然四个都能填。在Ludwig上四个词组都能找到例句,active, dynamic, energetic, vigorous。dynamic和vigorous的区别: dynamic is changing; active; in motion while vigorous is physically strong and active。从上下文来看embracing和has become确实有一种动态的含义,dynamic是最好的选项。
- 错选了D。
amend的意思是to make better, 用在法案,提议之类的比较多,e.g. The bill would amend Section 230 to give larger platforms just 24 hours to remove content determined by a court to be unlawful.
rectify的解释:to make, put, or set right; remedy; correct. e.g. So in a joint declaration issued Monday, the EU countries said they would set up an industrial alliance to rectify the situation. - 错选了A。
问题在于chaos和disorder都是不可数的。但mess是可数的,而且常用单数形式in a mess. - 错选了C
注意到后半句是一个完整的句子且没有连词,这是个独立主格结构。 - 这就离谱,显然是个错题。
- 错选了C
C确实很诡异,但也是对的
both sons/both of the sons - 错选了A
obliging: willing or eager to do favors. e.g. At the three-hour-mark, the hitherto obliging Lanzmann finally becomes irritated. - 错选了B
blow one’s own trumpet: to tell everyone proudly about your achievements. e.g. He had a very successful year and has every right to blow his own trumpet.
bugle 军号,flute笛 - 错选了A
excessive有贬义,going beyond the usual, necessary, or proper limit or degree. e.g. In more than 30 cities demonstrators clashed with police, who responded to their marches with excessive violence.
exceeding: extraordinary; exceptional. e.g. Would Hodson, knowing the exceeding importance of his mission, have turned to rescue a servant or raise a fallen horse? - 错选了B
又是一个很诡异的题。degree应该比diploma要高级一点。为什么不是a master/bachelor/…’s degree in X?完型填空
错题
- 189页 passage 92 第6题
she has _____ many bills to help gain human equalities.
B. sponsored I. submitted解答
- 错选了I。
从上下文来看,确实应该是支持而不是提交。
解析说submit不能用于提交法案,这个完全是扯淡。News on the Web语料库的例子: Each session the Maine legislature allows all senators and representatives to submit bills for considerationWord List
of no avail
desolate
bugle
flute其他乱七八糟的
英语报刊,标题里的过去分词不是表示过去,而是被动
口译课,技巧:把英语的名词短语的中心词作为主语,修饰语改成谓语。如果是汉语就反过来
法语课看的电影《你丫闭嘴》Tais-Toi,别的没学会,法语骂人的词:putain/merde
