(289 words)BNotes:/B fiery 暴躁的，易怒的。（分数：10.00）A.In consequenceB.In briefC.In generalD.In fact解析：注释 逻辑搭配。in fact实际上；常表示语气的转折。in consequence因此；in brief简短地；总而言之；in general一般来说。从上

8、下文的逻辑意思看，in fact最为贴切。A.confineB.attachC.referD.add解析：注释 词义型结构搭配。refer to.as把称为；confine.to把局限于，管制；attach.to缚上，系上，贴上，使依附于，使依恋；add to(=increase)增加。 注意：1)attach importance/significance to重视，例如：They attached great importance to his speech 2)信件用语：Attached to this letter，you will find.随信附上A.asB.whichC.forD

9、.so解析：注释 逻辑搭配。as作关系代词，引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作表语，代表整个主句的意思。as the case may be可译为“事情可能就是这样”。which虽然也可以引导非限制性定语从句，但在此类带有插入句性质的定语从句中均用as，例如：As is known to all，water consists of oxygen and hydrogenA.withB.byC.atD.for解析：注释 结构搭配。be annoyed at对感到烦恼、不痛快。A.similaritiesB.differencesC.certaintiesD.features解析：注释 逻辑型词义搭

10、配。解这类题的技巧是瞻前顾后，注意上下文的逻辑联系，然后区别词义，选择恰当的词填入短文中，使句子前后贯通，与全文融为一体。A.factorB.virtueC.privilegeD.division解析：注释 逻辑型词义搭配。前一句中的differences暗示此处应选division。A.lineB.rowC.borderD.scale解析：注释 词义搭配。row(横)排；border边界；scale尺度，规模。A.whoB.whenC.thoughD.for解析：注释 逻辑搭配。此处表示让步关系，故应选C。A.widerB.broaderC.rarerD.scarcer解析：注释 词义搭配。

11、wide广大的，广泛的。它侧重指两边的距离(distance)。broad广阔的。它侧重指本身的广度(amplitude)。如：a wide use of a word；This is a broad question此外，形容眼、口的大，应当用wide；形容肩、胸的大，应当用broad。本句中指方言本身的范围，故用broader更妥。A.usedB.aptC.possibleD.probable解析：注释 结构型词义搭配。be apt to do sth倾向于，习惯于：A careless person is apt to make mistakesbe used to doing sth习

12、惯于(后接名词或动名词)。sbis possible to do sth是错误的，应改为It is possible for sbto do sth。probable (很可能成为现实的)经常用于“It is probable that.”句型中或sthis probable句型中，例如：1)It is probable that it will rain today2)Colder weather is probable此外，probable也可以作定语形容词，修饰名词，如：He is a probable candidateA.perfectB.notoriousC.superiorD.t

13、horough解析：注释 结构型词义搭配。thorough纯正，完美。perfect没有比较级和最高级形式，因而句中既然有more，就不能再接perfect了。superior是从拉丁语接纳到英语中来的形容词比较级，故不能与more连用。notorious(臭名昭著的)与上下文内容相悖，故不能入选。A.swiftlyB.promptlyC.immediatelyD.quickly解析：注释 本题测试词义搭配。swiftly快速地，敏捷地；promptly敏捷地，迅速地，即刻地；以上两词均强调行为发生的敏捷性，而本句中只强调交朋友的“快”，故应选 quickly。immediately意为“立刻

14、，马上”，也不合题意，故不能入选。A.appetitesB.tastesC.interestsD.senses解析：注释 词义搭配。hearty appetites心宽体胖胃口好。taste滋味；趣味，鉴赏力；interest兴趣；sense感觉；见识；意思。以上三词均不符合句意，故不能入选。A.helpingsB.offeringsC.fillingsD.findings解析：注释 词义搭配。helping(饭菜的)分量，正合句意。offering提供，奉献，献礼；filling填料，填充物；finding发现，发现物，发现结果；均不符合句意。A.designateB.demonstrateC.representD.reckon解析：注释 词义搭配。represent vt描述，表示；designate vt标明，指明：designate the city on the map(在地图上标明这个城市)；demonstrate vt论证，演示；reckon vt认为；指望；处理；测算。根据词义和句意，只有represent合适。A.deliveredB.denotedC.depictedD.defined解析：注释 词义辨析。denote vt表示；deliver vt
