1.His car broke down when he was only ________ home.
A.half way to
B.half way
C.a half way
D.half a way
【翻译】在回家的半路上他的车抛锚了。[考点]固定用法【精析】B 考查half的用法:英国英语表示“一半”的数量,一般用half an hour,half a dozen。美国英语则用a half hour。但本句中的way为不可数名词,所以不能用a来修饰。另home为副词,做后置定语修饰way,因此不能带to。
2. ________the strength of the opposition, we did very well to score two goals.
A.To consider
B.Considered
C.Considering
D.Consider
【翻译】考虑到对手的实力,我们进了两个球已经做得非常好 了。
[考点]非谓语动词题
【精析】C we 和 consider 之间是主动关系,所以应该用 现在分词做状语。considering 意为“考虑到”。
3. When I arrived Bill ________ the telephone.
A.talked on
B.talks on
C.was talking on
D.was being talked on
【翻译】我到达时,比尔正在打电话。
[考点]谓语动词

4. In other words, ________ we were witnessing rapid population growth, that would not mean that the countryside were filling in with people.
A.now that
B.even that
C.just as
D.even if
【翻译】换句话说,即使我们目睹了人口的快速增长,但这并不意味着农村人口过剩。[考点]词义辨析【精析】D 连词词组辨析题:even if意为“即使”,引导让步状语从句,符合题意。now that意为“既然”,just as意为“正像”。
5.He sends his ________ wishes for your future happiness.
A.honest
B.sincere
C.many
D.deepest
【翻译】他衷心地祝愿你们未来会幸福。[考点]词义辨析【精析】B sincere意为“诚恳的,真挚的,真心实意的”;honest意为“诚实的”;many前不能用物主代词;deepest意为“最深厚的”;deep用来形容自上而下、自外及里的深度,与wishes搭配不当。
