參考答案&解析:
1、C 這句話的意思是"他看著招牌廣告,心想不知自己是否有資格去應(yīng)聘"。eligible的意思是"有資格做……,符合做……的條件",如:Anyone above the age of l8 is eligible to vote.(18歲以上的人都可以參加選舉。)Not everyresident here is eligible for the medical insurance provided by the community.(并非每一個(gè)本地的居民都有資格享受社區(qū)提供的醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)。)
2、B vigorous:精力充沛的,有活力的,常用于人,如:a vigorous young man,也可作"強(qiáng)有力的,強(qiáng)勁的,用力的"解,如:vigorous opponent強(qiáng)勁的對(duì)手,vigorous exercises運(yùn)動(dòng)量大的鍛煉。hot-tempered是"脾氣大的,性子烈的"意思,patient作形容詞則是"耐心的"意思。
3、A 本句的意思是"并非所有的成員國(guó)都遵循他們先前達(dá)成一致的原則。"abide by是個(gè)短語,意為"服從,遵守",adhere to也是一個(gè)固定的短語,和stick to同義。abide by常見的搭配還有abide by the rule/the law/decision,如:The players all abided by the referee's decision although it was not really fair.其余的三個(gè)選項(xiàng)apply(應(yīng)用),abandon (拋棄),adopt(采納)均可以和principle搭配,但詞義和abide by不符。
4、C bias這個(gè)名詞的意思是"偏袒,偏見",without bias則是"公平地,公正地"的意思。fairly是形容詞fair的副詞形式,在這里是"公平地"的意思。當(dāng)然,fairly也可以作"相當(dāng),還"解,表示程度,如:Your English is fairly good.(你的英語還不錯(cuò)。)
5、B terminate這個(gè)動(dòng)詞意為"結(jié)束",可作及物或不及物動(dòng)詞用,如:We have decided to terminate our contract with your company.(我們已決定終止與貴公司的合同。)The forest terminates in a forest.(路的盡頭是樹林。) put an end to是個(gè)動(dòng)詞短語,如:Finally they put an end to the long-standing disputes.(最后他們終于結(jié)束了長(zhǎng)期的爭(zhēng)端。) resume(中斷后重又開始),suspend(暫時(shí)中斷),re-schedule(重新制定時(shí)間表)這三個(gè)動(dòng)詞都可以和construction搭配,但詞義和terminate不相近。
