HL單項選擇，從A、B、C、D四個選項中，選擇最佳答案完成句子

1.C

解析：leadto導致：bringin引進；givein投降；oweto歸功于。根據句義選C。

2.B

解析：apologizetosbfordoingsth意為“為某事向某人道歉”。

3.C

解析：forgivesb意為"原諒某人"。

4.D

解析：takeplace=happen.意為“發(fā)生”。

5.C

解析：cover=beenoughfor,意為“夠用”。本題不能選D項，因為meet表示“支付，

償付（某費用）”時，主語一般是人。

6.D

解析：Uirnto意為“致力于……”，to為介詞，which引導一個定語從句，修飾先行詞Ihe

subjecto

7.D

解析：setaside意為“留日”;setfree意為“釋放"；seto任意為“出發(fā),引起“；setout

意為“出發(fā)，準備（做某事）".

8.C

解析：remindsbofsih意為“提醒某人某事"；［hanksfordoingsth意為“為某事感謝某人”。

9.C

解析：此處考查短語onthewaytodoingsth,意為“正要...”。

10.A

解析：meandoingsth意為“意味著做某事"；meantodosth意為“意欲做某事

11.A

解析：答話人說“我現在不能細講，因為可能要花很長時間”。由此可知這里考查情態(tài)動詞

表推測。would此處不表小：態(tài)，表示可能性弱于will的推測。should表示“理應”；might,could

表示較小的可能性，均不符合題意。

12.B

解析?：Lisa在這兒住的時間不長。因此，她不可能認識很多人。情態(tài)動詞can在這里表示

推測，主要用于疑問句、否定句和條件句。needn弋表示“不必”；shouldn't表示“不應該”，

都不用于推測；didn寸和前一句的時態(tài)矛盾，因此排除。

13.A

解析：句義為“如果你只讀了這篇文章的一部分，你怎么能說你真正理解了整個故事呢？”

14.A

解析：shall與第二人稱搭配表示對聽話者的警告。句義為“你要是不小心地使用我的電腦,

你就不能用”。

15.C

解析：根據題意，這里表示“不可能”。may,must表推測時，常常用于肯定句，不用于否

定句、疑問句。否定句、疑問句中常用can來表示推測。另外maynot表示“可能不”的

意思。
