【考點(diǎn)一】 It was ______ cold ______ everything______.
A. so; that; freeze B. so; that; froze
C. such; that; freeze D. such; that; freezed
【思路解析】此題考查such和so的用法區(qū)別及freeze的過(guò)去式的問(wèn)題。so修飾形容詞和副詞,而such修飾名詞,由形容詞cold可知前邊應(yīng)用so修飾,排除C和D。主句的時(shí)態(tài)為一般過(guò)去時(shí),that引導(dǎo)的結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句在此也應(yīng)為一般過(guò)去時(shí),freeze的過(guò)去式是froze,故該題答案為B。
【知識(shí)拓展】(1) freeze做不及物動(dòng)詞時(shí)意為"be changed into ice",即"結(jié)冰;凍結(jié)"之意。另外該詞還有"酷寒;凍僵"之意。其過(guò)去式和過(guò)去分詞分別為froze,frozen。如:
Salt water freezes at a temperature lower than fresh water.鹽水冰點(diǎn)溫度比清水冰點(diǎn)溫度低。
It must be the wind that makes it so cold. I'm freezing.一定是這場(chǎng)風(fēng)把天氣刮得這么冷,我凍得要命。
He hardly froze while waiting for the bus during the snowstorm.他在暴風(fēng)雪里等公共汽車時(shí)幾乎凍死。
(2)當(dāng)freeze為及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),意思是"使結(jié)冰;使凝固",后面可直接跟名詞做賓語(yǔ)。如:
The north wind has frozen the water in the pool in the garden.北風(fēng)使花園里的池水結(jié)冰了。
be frozen to death表示"凍死"。如:
He is nearly frozen to death, and he needs a hot drink.他幾乎要凍死,他需要一杯熱飲料。
【考點(diǎn)二】 He has made ______ in his work.
A. a good progress B. good progresses
C. good progress D. good a progress
【思路解析】此題考查名詞progress的用法。progress為"進(jìn)步"之意,是不可數(shù)名詞。所以該題答案為C。句子意思是"他在工作上取得很大進(jìn)步。"
【知識(shí)拓展】英語(yǔ)中常用make progress + 介詞短語(yǔ),表示"在......方面取得(......的)進(jìn)步"。如:
John did not make much progress at school.約翰在學(xué)業(yè)上進(jìn)步不大。
He has made great progress in learning how to write.他在學(xué)習(xí)寫作上有了很大的進(jìn)步。
【考點(diǎn)三】 在下列選項(xiàng)中選擇一個(gè)與劃線部分意思相同或相近的答案。
If we won this match, we would be the top.
A. we would be the last B. we would be the best
C. we would be the worst D. we would lose all games
【思路解析】原句的意思是"如果我們贏了這場(chǎng)比賽,我們將成為冠軍"。A選項(xiàng)意思是"我們將是最后一位",B的意思是"我們將是最好的",C表示"我們將是最差的",而D則是"我們將輸?shù)羲械谋荣?之意。因此該題答案是B。
【知識(shí)拓展】 (1)top是名詞,意思是"the highest point or part"即"頂點(diǎn);最高部分",反義詞為bottom(底部)。如:the top of a mountain (a tree,a house),山 (樹,房)頂。另外top還有"上端;上部;最高點(diǎn);最高地位"之意。如:the top of the page,"書頁(yè)的上端",at the top of one's voice,"以最高嗓門",the top of a class,"班上名列前茅者"。如:
In 1924, Mallory and a team of British climbers tried to get to the top of Mount Qomolangma. 1924年,馬洛里和一支英國(guó)登山隊(duì)試圖登上珠穆朗瑪峰頂端。
Father Christmas lands on each top of the house, and climbs down into the chimney. 圣誕老人降臨到每家的房頂上,爬到煙囪里。
(2)top還可以作形容詞,意為"頂點(diǎn)的;最高的"。如:
The runner set off at top speed.賽跑者以最大速度出發(fā)。
