夜雨聆风
一、词汇选择
1. I with rage at his offensive remarks, finding it meaningless to argue with such a rude man.
A. quivered
B. quenched
C. quipped
D. quelled
答案：A
解析：quiver（发抖，颤抖）的语义能与with rage（愤怒，生气）构成符合上下文逻辑的搭配，意为“气得发抖”，故只有A选项符合题意。quench（熄灭，平息），quip（讥讽），quell（镇压）均不符合题意。
2. It is imperative that all the accounts of the Property Management Company should be made to all the owners.
A. transient
B. transitive
C. transparent
D. tranquil
答案：C
解析：transparent（公开透明的）能与其构成符合上下文逻辑的搭配，意为“账目公开”，故只有C选项符合题意。transient（转瞬即逝的），transitive（及物的），tranquil（安静的）皆不符合题意。
3. After having been trapped underneath the mine for three consecutive days, the miners became very weak from lack of .
A. suspect
B. suspense
C. suspicion
D. sustenance
答案：D
解析：sustenance（食物，营养）能与lack of构成逻辑上的搭配。suspect（作名词，嫌疑犯），suspense（悬念），suspicion（怀疑），皆不符合题意。
二、词汇替换
1. Rumors of the presidential candidate’s past transgressions have begun to spring up.
A. suspense
B. scandals
C. expenses
D. sandals
答案：B
解析：A选项意为“焦虑；兴奋；悬念”，B选项意为“丑闻”，C选项意为“花费；消耗”，D选项意为“凉鞋；草带鞋”。题干替换词意为“违犯道德（或行为）准则”，故B选项最为接近，为正确答案。
2. Some urban residents retire to the country resort to enjoy the tranquility of the fields on weekends.
A. affinity
B. variety
C. serenity
D. identity
答案：C
解析：A选项意为“亲密关系；类似”，B选项意为“多样，变化”，C选项意为“静谧；安宁”，D选项意为“身份，同一性；个性”。题干替换词意为“安宁；平静；安静；平稳”。
3. Although salmon may travel hundreds of miles from where they were spawned, they will ultimately return there to lay eggs.
A. probably
B. apparently
C. reluctantly
D. eventually
答案：D
解析：A选项意为“大概，或许，很可能”，B选项意为“似乎；据说，看来；实际上”，C选项意为“不情愿地，勉强地”，D选项意为“终究；终于，最后；总归”。
三、语法改错
1. Some people find extremely difficult to get up early in the morning and do not seem able to get going very well until afternoon.
A. find extremely difficult getting up early
B. find to get up early is extremely difficult
C. find it extremely difficult getting up early
D. find it extremely difficult to get up early
答案：D
解析：画线部分中及物动词find后面缺形式宾语，如果find作谓语动词时后面跟上形容词和不定式，那么其规范句式是find it+adj.+to do sth.。
2.The name of a book can not be shown by double quotes. But should use italics.
A. name of a book should use italics rather than double quotes
B. title of a book should not be double quotes. Instead, we should use
C. title of a book should not be in quotation marks. Rather, it should be in
D. name of a book cannot be enclosed with double quotes. But should use
答案：C
解析：画线部分中but后面的句子缺乏主语。英语句子一般由主语+谓语构成，缺一不可。C选项中前后两个句子的意思形成对比，主语没有出现变更，而且第二句是对第一句的纠正，故是正确的答案。
3. Since the IO test was created from the point of view of Europeans, people of other races sometimes scored comparatively higher.
A. Whereas
B. Nevertheless
C. Though
D. Whatever
答案：C
解析：这是一个主从复合句，是让步与转折关系，而不是因果关系。
