大学英语每日一练（3-24）

41. He has made ______ progress this term than before.

A. little

B. less

C. fewer

D. much

41.【答案】B。解析：因为是现在和过去进行比较，所以要用比较级，又因为progress 是不可数名词，所以只能用less，而不能用fewer。故选B。

42. —You were out when I dropped in at your house.

—Oh, I ________ for a friend from England at the airport.

A.was waiting

B.had waited

C.am waiting

D.has waited

42.【答案】A。解析：句意是：(你来我家时) 我正在机场等候一位从England来的朋友。表示在过去某一时刻或在过去某一段时间内正在发生的事，用过去进行时，选择A。

43. ________ of danger in the street at night, she had to go home, with a friend ________ her.

A.Warning, following

B.Having warned, following

C.Having been warned, following

D.Warned, followed

43.【答案】C。解析：warn这一动作发生在主句动作had to go之前，应用-ing的完成形式，且与主句的主语存在着被动关系;a friend与follow之间是主动关系。故选C。

44. You ________ buy a gift, but you can if you want to.

A.must

B.mustn’t

C.have to

D.don’t have to

44.【答案】D。解析：don’t have to 意为没有必要，符合语境，句意为：你没有必要买礼物，但如果你想买的话，你也可以买。故选D。

45. —I like riding fast. It’s very exciting.

—Oh! You mustn’t do it like that, ________ it may have an accident.

A. and

B. or

C. so

D. but

45.【答案】B。解析：该题考查的是并列连词的用法。答语的意思是“你不要那样做，否则会发生事故的。”在这四个并列连词中，只有or含有这样的意思，所以应选B。

46.We can’t ________ one to change the habits of a lifetime in a short time.

A. hope

B. wait

C. expect

D. imagine

46.【答案】C。 解析：A选项hope表示“希望”，常用hope to do sth.但是注意hope后不能接sb. to do sth.。B选项wait常构成词组wait for...to do sth.表示“等待……做……”，强调“等”的含义，C选项expect表示期望，盼望，表示认为有很大的客观可能性;D选项imagine表示想象、设想。本题意为“我们不能期望一个人如此短的时间内改变一辈子养成的习惯”，因此答案选C。

47.Three ______ died in the terrible fire in Luoyang last winter.

A.hundreds people

B. hundred people

C. hundreds peoples

D.hundred peoples

47.【答案】B。解析：hundred一词前面有具体数词修饰时不加-s,且people单复数同形。故选B。

48.It suddenly occurred to him ________ he had left his keys in the office.

A. whether

B. where

C. which

D. that

48.【答案】D。解析：考查主语从句, It为形式主语，that引导的从句为真正的主语。句型It occurs to sb. that...“某人突然想到。”因此D为正确答案。

49.By reading the article, we know how ______ in our daily life.

A. will we protect the earth

B. we can reduce pollution

C. should we save water

D. we must recycle things

49.【答案】B。解析：考查宾语从句， 宾语从句的语序是陈述句语序，所以AC先排除，B的意思是通过读这篇文章，我们知道在我们的日常生活中可以如何减少污染，D选项的意思是我们必须循环利用东西，与空前“how如何”连用不通顺。根据句意的通顺来判断，B为正确答案。

50.A paper plant is __________ paper is made.

A. which

B. where

C. what

D. in which

50.【答案】B。解析：考查表语从句，句意：纸厂就是纸被制造的地方，系动词后为表语，所以此处is后面是表语从句，在从句中不缺少成分，所以可以加上状语，D选项不能引导表语从句，which和what作主语、宾语、表语，不作状语，where做状语，故B为正确答案。
