题型有：1. 
1． Fluoride deters tooth decay by reducing the growth of bacteria that destroy tooth enamel.
A．facilitates
B．overwhelms
C．inhibits
D．loosens
正确答案：C
解析：本题考查动词的词义辨析。根据句中的tooth decay(蛀牙)和reducing the growth of bacteria(减少细菌生长)判断，画线词deters应表示“阻止”。四个选项中，inhibit意为“阻止，妨碍；抑制”。facilitate意为“使变得(更)容易，使便利”。overwhelm意为“(感情上)使受不了，使不知所措；征服，制服”。loosen意为“解开，放松；松弛”。 
2． What most______the magazine’s critics is the manner in which its editorial opinions are expressed too often as if only an idiot could see things any other way.
A．belies
B．impedes
C．riles
D．placates
正确答案：C
解析：本题考查动词辨析。分析句子结构可知，in which引导的定语从句修饰先行词the manner，从句中说明了编者表达观点的频率太频繁，就好像只有白痴才有其他的见解一样，这种方式应是激怒该杂志评论员的原因，故答案为[C]rile(激怒，使非常生气)。belie意为“掩饰，遮掩；显示……不真实”。impede意为“阻碍，妨碍，阻止”；placate意为“使平静，安抚，抚慰”。 
3． ______over everything whenever we want to make a decision, many people believe, and we will have less chance of making mistakes.
A．Think
B．To think
C．Thinking
D．Thought
正确答案：A
解析：本题考查固定结构。“祈使句+and／then／or／before+陈述句”是固定用法。many people believe为插入语。 
4． In the ______of the hurricane, many people’s homes were destroyed.
A．result
B．aftermath
C．consequence
D．upshot
正确答案：B
解析：本题考查名词的词义辨析。result意为“结果，效果”，为普通用词，含义广泛，侧重因某种原因所产生的最终结果，而不是眼前的结果。aftermath意为“后果，余波”，尤指灾难或不幸事件的后果，符合空后的hurricane…homes were destroyed的语义，故为答案。consequence意为“结果，后果”，多指某一事件引起的必然或自然的结果，不强调直接的因果关系，而侧重事件发展的逻辑关系。upshot意为“最终结果，结局”，是一种决定性结果。  expressed翻译
5． If only I ______play the guitar as well as you!
A．would
B．could
C．should
D．might
正确答案：B
解析：本题考查虚拟语气。if only引导的从句需用虚拟语气时与I wish一样，表示与事实相反的愿望，其后虚拟语气的时态与wish后所接时态的情况相同，对目前情况的虚拟，谓语动词用“could+动词原形”，所以[B]项正确。 
6． Please do not be______by his offensive remarks since he is merely trying to attract attention.
A．distracted
B．disregarded
C．irritated
D．intervened
正确答案：C
解析：本题考查动词的词义辨析。distracted意为“转移(注意力)，使分心”。disregard意为“漠视，不理会，不顾”。irritate意为“激怒，使恼怒”，符合空后offensive remarks(攻击性的言论)的语义。intervene意为“妨碍，干扰，干预”。 
7． Only when a person has read much English poetry______Shakespeare.
A．he can understand
B．can he understand
C．can he understood
D．can we understand
正确答案：B
解析：本题考查倒装。only修饰句子的状语(从句)位于句首时，句子(主句)要用部分倒装，句
型为“Only+状语／状语从句+be／助动词／情态动词+主语”。代替上文提到的a person要用人称代词he，故答案为[B]项。 
8． Most prisons make little effort to______inmates so that they can lead productive, wholesome lives after their release.
A．fluctuate
B．persevere
C．rehabilitate
D．recapture
正确答案：C
解析：本题考查动词辨析。根据空后的inmates(囚犯)和after their release(被释放后)判断，应该是监狱改造罪犯，故答案为rehabilitate(改造(罪犯)；帮助(刑满释放者)恢复正常生活)。fluctuate为不及物动词，意为“波动，涨落，起伏”。persevere为不及物动词，意为“坚持不懈，
锲而不舍”。recapture意为“重新抓获(逃犯或逃脱的动物)”。 
9． If the North Sea______in winter, you could walk from London to Oslo.
A．happened to freeze
B．froze
C．should freeze
D．should happen to freeze
正确答案：B
解析：本题考查虚拟语气。根据主句中的谓语动词could walk可知，if引导的是非真实条件句，与一般现在时相反，从句的谓语动词应用过去式，故答案为[B]。 
10． The heart is ______ intelligent than the stomach, for they are both controlled by the brain.
A．not so
B．much more
C．not more
D．no more

A．might as well leave
B．ought to have left
