Janet as well as the other young people who ____ sent abroad by government ___ brought up in the small town.
A. was;was
B. was;were
C. were ;were
D. were ;was
答案:D
解析:
引出定语从句的关系代词作从句的主语,而它又前指复数名词“people”,所以考虑到主谓一致谓语动词用“were”。一个名词后有“as well as”引出的短语时,单复数仍然以那个名词本身的单复数确定。此处主句主语是“Janet",单数第三人称,所以谓语用“was”。故选D。
第3题:
The mother abandoned her boy for poorness.
A:gave up
B:left
C:brought off
D:refused
答案:A
解析:
本句意思是:那位母亲因为贫穷抛弃了她的儿子。abandon意为“抛弃”, 例如:Despite some difficulties, they're not going to abandon the plan.尽管他们遇到了一些困难,但并不打算放弃这个计划。give up意为“放弃”,例如:You might as well advise me to give up my fortune as my argument.你劝我停止说理,倒不如劝我抛弃一切财产。left是leave的过去式,意为“离开”。brought是bring的过去式,短语bring off意为“救出”,例如:The wounded sol-diers have to be brought off soon.这些伤员必须赶快被救出来。refuse意为“拒绝”,例如:He refused to make any compromise.他拒绝做出任何妥协。只有选项A同句中画线单词含义接近。
