43、r at a mutually 20 time. 1.A.apartB.downC.outD.off答案:A解析 本題考查相關(guān)短語(yǔ)辨析。這里是在講鞋帶出現(xiàn)的質(zhì)量問(wèn)題，come apart破裂，裂開(kāi)，(整體的東西)散了；在這里指“鞋帶斷了”，符合題意。come down下來(lái)；come out出現(xiàn)；come off脫落；均不合題意。故選A。2.A.ofB.onC.inD.from答案:B解析 本題考查介詞的用法。強(qiáng)加某種責(zé)任或義務(wù)在某人身上，常用介詞on。故選B。3.A.satisfyingB.goodC.cleverD.advisable答案:D解析 本題考查上下文語(yǔ)義的銜接。從上下文結(jié)構(gòu)分析可

44、得，盡快將次品返還是一種明智的做法。advisable明智的，符合題意。satisfying令人滿意的；good好的；clever聰明的；均與題意無(wú)關(guān)。故選D。4.A.discoverB.learnC.determineD.recognise答案:A解析 本題考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。這句話的意思是說(shuō)，一旦發(fā)現(xiàn)商品有缺陷應(yīng)該馬上退回去。一般來(lái)說(shuō)我們都說(shuō)“發(fā)現(xiàn)錯(cuò)誤”。 discover發(fā)現(xiàn)，揭示；determine決定；決意；recognise辨別，認(rèn)出，承認(rèn)。故選A。5.A.at allB.at lastC.at leastD.at once答案:D解析 本題考查介詞短語(yǔ)辨析。從該空后的意思“或許因?yàn)?/p>

45、你住的很遠(yuǎn)義或者是東西太大不方便立刻拿回去”，可知，這里講的是一種無(wú)法將商品立刻退回去的情況，at once馬上，符合題意。at all根本，常用于否定結(jié)構(gòu)中，意為“一點(diǎn)也不”；at last最后；at least至少；均不合題意。6.A.withB.ofC.byD.at答案:A解析 本題考查介詞的用法。be dissatisfied with sth對(duì)某事感到不滿意，為固定搭配。我們常用其肯定形式be satisfied with sth對(duì)某事感到滿意。of，by，at均不能與satisfied或dissatisfied搭配。故正確答案為A。7.A.approvedB.madeC.offer

46、edD.planned答案:B解析 本題考查動(dòng)賓搭配。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，與空格所缺動(dòng)詞相搭配的賓語(yǔ)為arrangement。make arrangement做安排，為固定搭配。故正確答案為B項(xiàng)。8.A.denialB.concessionC.delayD.compromise答案:C解析 本題考查名詞詞義辨析。文章第二段說(shuō)的是發(fā)現(xiàn)缺陷要及時(shí)退貨，即使是現(xiàn)實(shí)條件不許可，也要及時(shí)寫信告知對(duì)方你的不滿，并安排退貨。主要在強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)效的重要性，從而可知這里是在說(shuō)拖延會(huì)使你的情況變得糟糕。denial否認(rèn)，否定，拒絕；con cession讓步，特許，許可；compromise妥協(xié)，和解；delay延遲，耽

47、擱。故選C。9.A.situationB.caseC.pointD.circumstance答案:B解析 本題考查固定用語(yǔ)。This is not the case情況不是這樣的。為固定用語(yǔ)。故選B。10.A.agentB.assistantC.partyD.provider答案:C解析 本題考查語(yǔ)境的把握。這里應(yīng)填的詞與前面的retailer(零售商)相對(duì)應(yīng)。party常指“協(xié)議、合同、爭(zhēng)論、訴訟等的一方、當(dāng)事人、參與者”，如：Are you a party to the agreement?(你是簽訂協(xié)議的一方嗎?)在此句中“the party”指代前面的“the retailer”。11

48、.A.thatB.whichC.whereD.when答案:A解析 本題考查強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。強(qiáng)調(diào)句的固定結(jié)構(gòu)為It isthat (who)，若被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分是主語(yǔ)，且指人時(shí)，可用who代替that；若被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分是賓語(yǔ)，且指人時(shí)，可用whom代替that；其他情況下用 that。它的一個(gè)特點(diǎn)是：去掉強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)“It is/waswho/that”或經(jīng)過(guò)語(yǔ)序調(diào)整后，原句仍成立。該句可還原為：Your complaint should be made to him意為：你應(yīng)該向他進(jìn)行投訴。12.A.conceptB.ideaC.suggestionD.thought答案:B解析 本題考查固定用語(yǔ)。Its a

49、good idea這是一個(gè)好主意。為常用語(yǔ)。故選B。13.A.doB.involveC.meanD.mind答案:C解析 本題考查固定用語(yǔ)。mean business認(rèn)真。這里的意思是這表明你一開(kāi)始就是認(rèn)真的。故選C。14.A.centreB.heartC.startD.top答案:C解析 本題考查固定用語(yǔ)。from the start=from the beginning意思是“從一開(kāi)始”。15.A.commonB.falseC.habitualD.indirect答案:C解析 本題考查語(yǔ)境的把握。由常識(shí)可知“經(jīng)理不在或者經(jīng)理在開(kāi)會(huì)”是人們常用的搪塞來(lái)訪者的借口。habitual意為“習(xí)慣性

50、的，慣常的”符合題意。common雖也有“通常，平?！敝獾珎?cè)重于“因普通而顯得常見(jiàn)”之意，所以選C。false錯(cuò)誤的；indirect間接的；與題意無(wú)關(guān)。16.A.DemandB.InsistC.PersistD.Require答案:B解析 本題考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。demand要求；insist堅(jiān)持；persist堅(jiān)持，持續(xù)；require要求。insist后面可以跟介詞on，也可以跟that引導(dǎo)的從句。后跟that引導(dǎo)的從句時(shí)可表示“堅(jiān)決要求”之意，此時(shí)應(yīng)用虛擬語(yǔ)氣，即：insist that+sb.(should) do sth.；也可表“堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為”之意，此時(shí)用真實(shí)語(yǔ)氣。本題為第二種用法。

51、17.A.positionB.controlC.powerD.charge答案:D解析 本題考查固定短語(yǔ)。in charge看管，掌控，負(fù)責(zé)；這是個(gè)固定短語(yǔ)。18.A.ConsideringB.ExaminingC.FailingD.Feeling答案:C解析 本題考查上下文語(yǔ)義的銜接。從后文的意思來(lái)看，此處講的是，如果前面所作努力失敗后你應(yīng)該怎么做。fail失敗，符合題意。19.A.callB.getC.returnD.turn答案:A解析 本題考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。call拜訪；get得到，到達(dá)；return回到；turn轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)。這里指回頭再來(lái)拜訪之意，故選A。20.A.satisfactory

52、B.interestingC.comfortableD.convenient答案:D解析 本題考查語(yǔ)境的把握。由常識(shí)知再次回訪應(yīng)該在一個(gè)雙方均方便的時(shí)間，D項(xiàng)convenient方便的，符合題意。satisfactory令人滿意的；interesting有趣的；comfortable舒適的。均與題意無(wú)關(guān)，故正確答案為D項(xiàng)。Section Reading ComprehensionPart AText 1 Everyone chases success, but not all of US want to be famous.

53、Coetzee is well-known for keeping himself to himself.
