　　选择填空

　　1. It is generally believed that teaching is ___________it is a science.

　　A. an art much as B. much an art as

　　C. as an art much as D. as much an art as

　　解析：答案为D。当名词前有what、so、as、too、quite等词修饰时，其形容词被这些词修饰，组成下列结构，如：What a nice book! This is too heavy a box for me to carry. He is not as honest a boy as Mike.等，应采取too/how + 形容词(副词)+ a(an) + 名词的形式。要记住一些类似的特殊结构，并加以分析。

　　2. The police are offering a __________to anyone who can give information about the lost key.

　　A. price B. prize C. reward D. money

　　解析：答案为C。price 价格，价钱;prize奖金。D项是钱，属不可数名词，题中所要填的是“酬金，报酬”。注意正确理解名词的含义及其搭配是活用语言的基础，在复习备考中要熟练掌握考纲中一些名词的词义、搭配、习惯等，才能更好辨析名词，从而选择最符合句意的选项。

　　3.You’ll find this map of great _____________in helping you to get round London.

　　A. price B. cost C. value D. usefulness

　　解析：答案为C。本题考查特定语境中名词的词义及“be of + 抽象名词”结构。Price (价格)，cost(价钱，费用，成本)不符合题意，value作“quality of being useful or desirable”解时，常与of搭配，在句中作表语或补语，意为“有用，有价值”。故选择value。注意名词词义辨异及惯用法表达，题中“of + 抽象名词”相当于该名词的形容词形式。

　　4.If you buy more than ten, they knock 20 pence off .

　　A. a price B. price C. the price D. price

　　解析：答案为C。本题考冠词和名词。全句合理句意应是：如果你买超过10个，他们从(现在标出的)价格上减价20便士。此处价格是特指的定价，所以C项最佳。

　　5.The journey around the world took the old sailor nine moths, the sailing time was 226 days.

　　A. of which B. during which C. from which D. for which

　　解析：答案为B。辨析名词语义, a distance of +数字“……距离”。

　　6. I keep medicines on the top shelf, out of the children’s .

　　A. reach B. hand C. hold D. place

　　解析：答案为A。“out of reach”是“超出某人够得着的范围”，即“够不着”的意思，药品应放到孩子够不到的地方。
