【参考答案】
1.【答案】D。解析:考查副词辨析。句意:在美国的中国人三分之一居住于加利福尼亚,且主要位于旧金山地区。remarkably明显地,显著地;severely严重地;drastically彻底地,激烈地;predominantly主要地。根据句意,应是“主要”位于旧金山地区,故答案为D。
2.【答案】A。解析:考查连词。句意:虽然地铁票价比较便宜,但丹妮尔还是选择乘出租车去音乐厅,这样她就不会迟到了。so可用于表示目的,作“为了,以便”解;or为并列连词,含有选择意义;but表示转折;and连接两个句子,表示并列或承接。根据空后she would not be late可知这部分为目的,故答案为A。
3.【答案】C。解析:考查动词短语辨析。句意:每当一个大公司接管一个小公司后,产品质量几乎都下降了。本题可从逻辑角度考虑,大公司和小公司之间的关系是本题的关键。get on with与……相处,继续做;cut down削减;take over接收;put up with忍受,容忍。根据句意,故选C。
4.【答案】B。解析:考查时态语态。句意:通常医学、法律及工程专业更能吸引英国的亚裔年轻人。根据助动词have可知,空格处应该填入过去分词done的形式,构成现在完成时have done;gravitate本就有“被吸引”的意思,所以这里不需要用被动语态,故排除A,答案选B。
5.【答案】B。解析:考查短语辨析。句意:同样,他告诉过很多夫妇,如果他们之间存在沟通问题,那么就要提前寻求婚姻辅导。in particular尤其,特别;ahead of time提前;on the verge濒临;一触即发;on the brink濒于。空格处表示的是“提前寻求婚姻辅导”,所以只有ahead of time符合语境。故答案选B。
