　　三、考试常用搭配

　　1.Tom asked____ you, but I told him nothing.

　　A. for B. after C. of D. /

　　答案：B

　　解析：ask for最常用的意项是是“要求”。它也可以表示“要求和某人说话”的意思。 ask after则表示“问某人的情况、问候”的意思。这里选 ask after贴切。

　　2.As soon as I got _____, I felt sick.

　　A. on board the ship B. on the board of the ship

　　B. C. onto board the ship D. onto the board of the ship

　　答案：A

　　解析：on board 是一个固定的词组，相当于副词aboard，表示“在船上、车上、飞机上等”，不可以拆开使用。另外，它还可以表示“作为某队或组织的成员出席或工作”，如“ The mew trainee was welcomed on board.(新教练被欢迎上任。)” board一词可以作名词，意为“板”、“委员会”，作动词意为“上船”等。

　　3.He doesn't care_____ what people think of him.

　　A. about B. of C. for D. to

　　答案：A

　　解析：care的意思是“关心”。常用词组有care about，“关心、看得重要”; care for，“想要”。例如“ Would you care for tea ?”，用于否定句和疑问句中，“照料”，与take care of相近，如“ She cared for the old women for years.” Care后可接不定式，常用在礼貌的建议中，如“ Would you care to wait here ?”。

　　4.This cake_____ sugar, butter and flour.

　　A. constitutes B. consists C. composes D. contains

　　答案：D

　　解析：A、B、C选项都有“构成”的意项，但用法不一样。Constitute是动词，用法与form相似，如“50 states constitute the USA.”。consist是动词，常用词组 consist of 意思是“由——组成”，如“This cake consists mainly of sugar, butter and flour.”。另外，consist in表示“由于、存在于”，如“ The charm of Paris does not consist only in its beauty.”。 Compose 常用be composed of，意思是“由——组成”，如“The cake is composed mainly of sugar, butter and flour.”。 contain的意思是“包含”，后面直接接宾语。

　　6.We are late,_____, we are lost.

　　A. however B. as a matter of fact C. nevertheless D. moreover

　　8.The train_____ about three hours late.

　　A. pulled B. pulled down C. pulled on D. pulled out

　　答案：D

　　9.You will never guess whom I ____ on the street yesterday.

　　10.I think I turned off the light but I'll go back and _____.

　　A. be sure B. make sure C. feel sure D. be certain

　　答案：B

　　解析：sure，形容词，“确信”，用法较多。 be sure常用于句首引导一个祈使句，意思是“别忘了”，如“ Be sure to set the alarm clock ”。make sure的意思是“检验”，“确保”，下面就第二个意项举例：“ Make sure you get here before 8.”。 certain也可表示“确信、肯定的”意思，与sure的区别在于：可以有“He's certain/sure to come. ”、“I'm certain/sure he'll come. ”，但只能是“It is certain that he'll come.”。

　　11.______ the birth-control policy, the growth of population has slowed down.
