25、旁边”;in“在里面或(时间)之后”。2. 答案:w解析:考查系动词辨析。与上句中的eat with their eyes相对,后句应该点看起来很好吃的东西。故正确答案为A。3. 答案:C解析:考查代词。take a photo of sb意为给某人照相,此处应用人称代词的宾格。正确答案为C。4. 答案:Bw解析:考查动词词组。get up意为“起床,起立”。句意为“Jenny正在找一个座位,正在那时,很幸运地,一个人站起来离开了。”故选B。1意为“从事,占据时间或空间”;C意为“闭嘴”;D意为“建造,搭起”。5. 答案:D解析:考查倒装。seldom为否定副词放句首,用部分倒装,故选D。句意
26、为“我们因笑话而笑,但很少去思考笑话怎样让我们笑。”6. 答案:B解析:考查定语从句。此处应为which引导的非限制性定语从句,which代替前边整个句子。句意为:“大学毕业后,我们休假一段时间去旅游,这结果证明是一个明智的决定。”7. 答案:A解析:考查不定式主动表被动。在某些形容词后经常用不定式的主动形式表被动,此时,不定式动作和句子的主语存在动宾关系。又如:The apartment is comfortable to live in. 8. 答案:C解析:考查形容词的用法。the number of 意为“的数量”,其后的形容词应为大小,不用多少。又据句意学校被移出了市中心,应该是学生的数量变得太大了,故选C。9. 答案:Aw解析:考查日常用语。后句中的As a matter of fact, it was most helpful,可知是对前句表意的否定,所以A项合适。句意为:“对不起,那帮助不太大。当然不是了,实际上,它很有用。”10. 答案:B解析:考查介词后的宾语从句。根据句末的 whether his friends or relatives可知应是和谁去,故选B。句意为“一个人旅游多么享受很大程度上取决于他和谁去,无论是他的朋友还是亲戚。”
