    58._________
    A: than never before
    B: than before ever
    C: than ever before
    D: than before never

    答案:C
    解析:
    从语法上分析,动名词pubishing应是将要填入空白处的动词的宾语,四个选项中只有began后面可以有动名词作宾语,且符合上下文意思,故它是最佳答案。


    动词charge的用法是charge sb. with sth.(指控某人有某种罪行或错误),故应选A项。但要注意,如果用动词accuse,则应是accuse sb. of sth.,两者词义相同,但使用的介词不同。


    四个选项中只有C项才符合上下文意思,即“包括生育控制和避孕手段等内容的性资料”,其他三个选项都不合适。


    爱意空白处前面有个让步状语从句,因此主句所叙述的内容一定与它的逻辑推理相反,从这个意义上讲,只有选项C和D可供选择,但选项C如果用于“一直不断”这个词义时,后面应该接doing sth.,即keep doing sth.,不能keep to do sth.;而选项D,既可 continue doing sth.,又可continue to do sth.,故应选D。虽然选项B也可以start doing sth.和start to do sth.,但与上下文意思不符,因为她在此之前曾经为此被指控过了。


    填此空白时要注意本段后面所叙述的内容,显然国会这次修改法律是放松了控制,因此可排除选项A和C。另外,国会放松控制,也不至于自己散发、宣传,故选项B也不合适。只有选项D能体现出放松控制的内容,故选D。


    填此空白时要注意国会已经修改法律放松控制这一背景,因此有的州仍然坚持严格控制,其合宪性自然要受到怀疑,加上本句中的“but”或多或少起到提示作用,故选项 A为最佳选择,其他选项均不合适。


    填这个空时,首先要考虑四个选项中哪一个动词的宾语可以使用that引导的从句,其次再看看哪个符合上下文意思。knew(知道),suspected (,坏疑)和held(认为)都符合第一项的要求,但填上knew和suspected与上下文意思不符,故只有C项合适。虽然A 项permitted (允许)符合上下文意思,但它不能使用that引导的从句作宾语。


    在四个选项中只有C项“than ever before”才是正确表达“比以往任何时候”这个意思,其他选项都是错误的。


    本句中but表示转折语气,四个选项中A项是最合适的,其他三个选项的词义与上下文风马牛不相及。


    在所列举的四个选项中,只有A项和C项可以与动词lead搭配构成短语,lead sb. on意为“率领某人继续前进”,这时lead为及物动词,后面须有宾语,on是副词;而lead to…意为“导致”,这时lead为不及物动词,to为介词,因此,此项C无论从语法上还是意义上都最合适。


    从语法上分析,worse是形容词比较级,其前面可有一个表示程度的副词作状语。在四个选项中,A项more不能与比较级连用;B项和C项意思相同,adequately = enough,也不能与比较级连用;只有D项considerably( = much)从语法上和词义上都最合适。


    回答此题时,只要注意前面已有形容词bad的比较级worse时,就会很容易选择 than构成比较。


    答此题时也要注意,上一句已经将美国与其他发达国家作了比较,本句是上句的延续,因此可以很容易选择developed为答案。developed countries:发达国家;developing countries:发展中国家。


    在四个选项中,只有C项和D项可以跟介词to连用,而A项和B项则应与介词 with连用。be related to…:与……有关;be loyal to…:忠实于……。根据上下文意思,还是D项合适。


    回答此题时,如果将本句已经提供的信息内容与上一句进行比较,就可以发现两句所表达的观点是相反的,因此四个选项中只有C项的counters(反驳)才是最佳答案,因为同一份研究绝不会提出两个截然相反的观点。
