精解
1.此處空格應選(B)理由:
a.be nervous about..... 對……感到不安
例:I'm nervous about my future.
我對我的未來感到不安。
b."be nervous about堔堔堔堔堔堔"為固定用法,故(B)應為正選。
2.此處空格應選(D)理由:
a.keep(保持),get(獲得),have(有)填入空格後並無意義,故(A)、(B)、(C)均不可以選。
b.quit〔婑崚埩崞〕vt. 辭去;停止
動詞三態均為quit。
例:It's said that the manager will quit his job.
聽說經理將辭職。
c.根據語意,(D)應為正選。
3.此處空格應選(B)理由:
a.選項(B)的make並非及物動詞(製造),而是不完全不及物動詞, 表「成為(= become)」,此處填入空格後符合語意,故(B)應為正選。
b.do(做)為及物動詞,其後應置受詞,但,此處語意不符,故(A)不可選。
c.空格前有助動詞will,故其後應接原形動詞,to be及to become均為不定詞,用法不對,故(C)、(D)不可選。
4.此處空格應選(A)理由:
a.空格後有子句(they are older),因此,空格應填入連接詞,此處唯有until為連接詞,表「直到……時」,符合語意及用法,故(A)應為正選。
例:We must wait until he comes. 我們必須等到他來。
b.to(到)為介詞,之後只可置入名詞或代名詞作受詞,不可置入主詞及動詞,故不可選。
c. before(在……之前)及for(因為)雖可作連接詞,唯語意不合,故不可選。
5.此處空格應選(C)理由: a.too + adj./adv. + to V 太……以致於不能……
例:She is too old to run.
她太老了以致於不能跑。
b."too + adj./adv. + to V"為固定用法,故(C)應為正選。
