1. Nobody is above the law, and if there are clear instances of wrong doing, that people should be ( ) just like any ordinary citizen.
A. protected
B. promoted
C. prosecuted
D. processed
【答案】C。考查词汇辨析。A项:保护;B项:升职、提拔;C项:检举、控诉;D项:加工。据题意,“没有人高于法律,如果有反面案例,人们应该像普通市民一样接受检举(控诉)。”很明显,C项更符合语义,因此答案选C。本题也可以通过排除法,ABD选项代入原文,语义不通,均可排除。
2.Food seems to have been ( ) in the local markets, even if the quality left much to be desired.
A. available
B. avoidable
C. adorable
D. advisable
【答案】A。考查词汇辨析。本题的关键点在even if,意为“即使、尽管”,表让步,也就是说前后两句话的感情色彩应该相反的,后半句说的是“即使质量还有很大的期待”,也就是或虽然质量没有得到保证,但是数量上应该足够。A项:可利用的,可以使用的;B项:可避免的;C项:可钦佩的;D项:明智的、可取的。很明显,A项更符合原文意思,而其他选项都不符合,故答案选A。
3.On an annual ( ), house prices in Scotland are now only 1% lower than they were a year ago, but they are 8% down in Northern Ireland.
A. plan
B. object
C. found
D. basis
【答案】D。考查词汇辨析。On an annual basis意为“年同比”,是固定的表达,整句话的内容是在谈论今年和去年苏格兰房价的比较,所以答案选D。
