请从以下四个选项中挑出最符合题意的一个选项：
Congressional investigations play important function for lawmakers: to inform the _____ of the state affairs and to arouse public interests in national issues. A. citizenry B. citizenshipC. citizensD. citizenly
参考译文：A. citizenry
解析：这一题给人最大困惑在于四个选项很相似，是以citizen为词根，加了不同的后缀。因此，要解答这题，一是要区分出这四个选项词的意思，再根据全句的意思挑选出最合适的选项。我们先来看出现频次比较少的citizenry。这个词的意思是“全体国民;全体州居民国;全体市民”，即The people living in a country, state, or city can be referred to as the citizenry. 例如：He used the medium of radio when he wanted to enlist public support or reassure the citizenry./他利用广播媒介来获得公众支持或安定民心。Citizenship的意思是“国籍;公民身份 ” 即If you have citizenship of a country, you are legally accepted as belonging to it. 例如：After 15 years in the USA, he has finally decided to apply for American citizenship./在美国生活了15年之后，他终于决定申请美国国籍。Citizens是citizen的复数形式，citizen意思是“公民;国民”，即Someone who is a citizen of a particular country is legally accepted as belonging to that country. 例如：The life of ordinary citizens began to change. /老百姓的生活开始发生变化。Citizenly在形式是citizen的副词形式，不过没有具体的意思。从这一题的意思上看，国会的调查起了两个非常重要的作用，一个是展现国家事务的归属性，即“state affairs”是全体国民的事，而不是单个公民的事，二是激起民众对公众事务的兴趣。因此，citizenry更符合题目的立意 。
请从以下四个选项中选出一个最符合题目意思的选项：
"Never for a second," the girl says "_____ my father would come to my rescue."A. I doubtedB. do I doubtC. I have doubted D. Did I doubt.
参考答案：D. Did I doubt
解析：这一题有一定的迷惑性，也就是the girl says作为挺插入语放到了一个句子之中。如果将这个插入语删除，整个句子就应该是：Never for a second _____ my father would come to my rescue. 这样就很清晰了，对吧?当句首有表示否定的副词或是短语时，句子就要用倒装句的句型。同时，整个句子的时态根据would come来判定，应该是过去里。在这四个选项里，符合这两要求的选项B和D中，只要选项D符合要求。题外话，为什么要将the girl says去除掉呢?因为在某一个瞬间将选项C定为答案了~~而去掉这个干扰因素之后，整个句型就不一样了。
请从以下四个选项中挑出最符合题意的一个：
When I found that my 19-year old son had got himeself a credit I immediately demanded that he ___ the card __ to me. A. give…upB. give... in C. hand...outD. hand...over
参考答案：D. hand...over
解析：从同学给出的答案来看，主要是C和D。当然，答案更多是D，即hand...over。这个主要是在于区别hand out与hand over之间的差别。或者说，表达“交给”的是哪里一个。hand sth. out并不是字面上的所谓“交出来”，而是“分发”，即If you hand things out to people, you give one or more to each person in a group. 例如：One of my jobs was to hand out the prizes./我的职责之一是分发奖品。Hand sth over的意思则是“递交”，即If you hand something over to someone, you pass it to them. 例如：He also handed over a letter of apology from the Prime Minister. /他还递交了一封首相写的道歉信。
请从以下四个选项里挑选出最符合题意的一个选项：
_________ for a long time, the fields are all dried up. A. There has been no rainB. Having no rainC. There having been no rainD. There being no rain
参考答案：C. There having been no rain
解析：这题的考点是什么呢?从语法的角度来看，自然就是句子的主谓宾结构的位置及搭配了。在这一句里，主谓宾很明确，就是the fields+are+all dried up，而之前的分句如果没有引导的连词的话，那只能是一个独立主句，即there来引导。另外，分句与主句在时态上有承续关系。时态上的承续，则要从语义的角度来审视。no rain与dried up有必然关系，即no rain在先，dried up在后，因此no rain要用完成时态。
请从以下四个选项里挑出最符合句子意思的选项：
Planets here show how and to what we are attached, and the degree of our __________.A. weightB. relativity C. gravityD. possessiveness
参考答案：D. possessiveness
解析：从语法的角度来看，the degree与how and to what we are attached成并列关系，因而在语义层面则是指向同一意思，而表达方式不一样。因此，从语义理解，星座(planet)与我们的所属性关系(ho how and to what we attached)，其实就是possessiveness的意思了。
请从以下四个选项中挑出最符合题意的一个选项：
They were ___ in their scientific research, not knowing what happened just outside their lab. A. dippedB. drownedC. immersedD. submerged
参考答案：C. immersed
解析：immersed的意思是“使沉浸(于);使专心(于);使深陷(于)”，即If you immerse yourself in something that you are doing, you become completely involved in it. 例如：Since then I've lived alone and immersed myself in my career./自那以后,我一直一个人生活,全身心投入我的事业当中。通常用于被动态语态的句子，或是在表示这个意思时，可用作过去分词的方式。不过，dip也有相似的意思，即If you dip into a book, you have a brief look at it without reading or studying it seriously. 例如：...a chance to dip into a wide selection of books on Buddhism. /博览佛教群书的机会。但很明显，dip比immser的程度更为浅一些。
请从以下四个选项中挑出最符合题意的一个选项：
The general manager is said to have arrived back from London, where he ____ some European business partners. A. would meetB. is meetingC. meetsD. had met
参考译文：D. had met
解析：这一题的重点在于理清句子成分之间的时间关系。To have arrived back from London 与"x meet" some European business partners之间的时间关系是什么呢?关键词是where，即London。也就是说，这位总经理回来之前是在伦敦出差，而在伦敦出差的时候，他与欧洲的合作伙伴们会面。因此，meet的行为是在arrive之前发生的。to have arrived的指一种预测，即表述人在说话时时预计这位总经理要回答，而实际的情况并不可知，于是用了将来完成时，但很明显，在说话人之前，总经理已在伦敦了，即要用had met。
