【答案解析】

1. B) 答此题应首先结合四个选择提供信息正确理解题句。根据题句意思，此处应选择

能构成“早在1900年”意义的选项。D)Earlier 的意思是“在之前”而且需跟“than”搭配，首先排除．As early as 和 Early as不与“in”搭配．因此只有B)Early符合题意与用法．

2. D) 此题虽然属词语型试题，但仍应从题句意思理解下手，因为从语法提供的信息看，

was 和四个选择都可构成被动语态．但读完全句，就发现只有“was lined on both sides with many business．”(街道两旁有各种店铺)才具有意义。如果看完此句仍不太清楚题句意思；不要急于选择或猜测，应继续往下看．只需再看一两句，就可明白

“business”指的是店铺．根据“on both sides”这一提示，联想到“排列两旁”这一常用表达法 “be lined on both sides with …”．而be built／designed／intended正常后接for sth。或to do sth。此处不适用．加大此题难度的另一因素是该句子中有2)、3)两处填空．其实，遇到这类情况，不必慌张，先观察空3)的四个选项所提供的信息，得知3)处只需填一形容词做定语，不影响整个句子的理解.

3. B) 词语型试题，虽然从语法角度看四个形容词均可做定语，但根据下文：“all sorts of”

和 “clothing，furniture，hardware，groceries．”等提示，只有various合乎题意．

4. C) 词语型试题．首先排除B)“Beside”．千万注意同“Besides”一个字母之差，意思截

然不同．A)“As well”通常用在句末．“Apart from” 应后接宾语，但此句中空格后只有逗号，没有宾语．资料来源：31省市学位英语网www.31xuewei.com

5. C) 推断型试题．仅根据此句前三个词的信息，无法做出选择，须阅读下一句之后，

综合“drug—stores，shoe—repair stores，and barber or hairdressing shops”提供的信息推断此处只有“services”才能涵盖药店,修鞋店和理发美发店这些内容。

6. D) 推断型试题．根据上文与下文的内容，可以推断此处需一表示转折的词语．虽然

从语法结构看前三项选择都可填入空中，修饰整个句于，但是此处只有转折的意思，没有对比的需要，“Contrarily”首先排除、A)和B)是同义词，不可能同时选入．

7. B) 此题较简单，根据词语搭配常识，“begin to” 后应接动词原型的一般式．

8. A) 此题句虽然有两个空需要填，但第二个空不影响整句结构．而且此句有明显表对

比的“Too many” 和“too few”信息．据此推断选A).

9. B) 词语型试题“used by”不符题句意思，首先排除．“ready for”似乎从语法角度，题

句意思上看都还可以凑合，但对“available to”和“available for” 两个选择加以考虑就会意识到“available”才是最佳选择，然后进一步选中正确搭配 “available for”．

10. D) 词语型试题．主要考查学生对四个选择所给出的词语意义的理解．其中 “over”

作介词用时，没有“在之外”的意思．“from” 和“1imit” 搭配之后不成意义．“out of”意为“出自”亦不符题句意思．
