Why, you may wonder, should spiders be our friends? Because they destroy so many insects, and insects 1 some of the greatest enemies of the human race. Insects would make 2 impossible for us to live in the world. They would devour (eat up quickly) all our crops and kill our flocks and herds, were it not 3 the protection we get from insect-eating animals. We 4 a lot to the birds and beasts who eat insects but all of them 5 together kill only a fraction of the 6 destroyed by spiders. 7 , unlike some of the insect eaters, spiders never do the least 8 to us or our belongings.
Spiders are not insects, 9 many people think, 10 even nearly related to them. One can tell the 11 almost at a glance, 12 a spider always has eight legs but an insect never more than six.
How many spiders are 13 in this work on our 14 ? One authority 15 spiders made a 16 of the spiders in a grass field in the south of England, and he estimated that there were more than 2 250 000 in one acre; that is 17 like 6000 000 spiders of different kinds on a football field. Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects. It is 18 to make more than the 19 guess at how many they kill, but they are hungry creature, not 20 with only three meals a day.

1. 【答案】A. include
【解析】本題測試詞義搭配.include(= bring in as a part of the whole) 包括，包含：1) The book includes two chapters on grammar. 2) The plan includes most of your suggestions. 3) Our delegation included two interpreters(我們的代表團里包括2位翻譯)involve 雖然也有“包含”的意思，但其后所接的名詞大多數(shù)是非實體性名詞，所以involve 的確切含義是“(=have s a necessary consequence)必然包括某種結(jié)果，牽涉到”，例如：The war involved a great increase in the national debt.(戰(zhàn)爭必然使國家負債驟增。)根據(jù)上下文的意思來看，此處指“昆蟲中有某些人類最大的天敵”，句中enemies是實體名詞，故此體應(yīng)選include. cover 也有“包括”之意，但主要是指“談到，涉及到”，例如：1) The discussion covered a wide range of subjects. (這次討論涉及到范圍廣闊的議題。) 2)His studies covered a wide field.(他的研究涉及到很大的領(lǐng)域) cover 作“包括，包含”解時一般不結(jié)具體的事物或動物名詞。consist 后接of,意為“由…..組成”。可見，本題答案非A 莫屬。
2. 【答案】C. it
【解析】本題測試結(jié)構(gòu)搭配.it 是形式賓語，其實際賓語是for us to live in the world.
3. 【答案】B. for
【解析】本題測試結(jié)構(gòu)搭配. were it not for sth. 是虛擬條件句，意為“要不是….,要是沒有….的話”。
4. 【答案】C. owe
【解析】本題測結(jié)構(gòu)型詞義搭配. owe…..to…把…..歸功于….: He owed his success o luck more than to capacity. contribute to 有助于，促進，加?。篊ars contribute to air pollution. (汽車加劇了空氣污染);devote sth. to 奉獻，致力于;dedicate … to 奉獻;均不符合題意。
5. 【答案】B. put
【解析】本題測試詞義搭配.put together 加在一起。put together 在句中是過去分詞短語作定語，修飾前面的all of them.
6. 【答案】A. number
【解析】本題測試詞義搭配. insect 是可數(shù)名詞。此處是指昆蟲的“數(shù)目”，故應(yīng)選number. An (或 the) amount of +不可數(shù)名詞(單數(shù))，故不能入選。plenty of +可數(shù)名詞(復(fù)數(shù))或不可數(shù)名詞(單數(shù))，意為“很多，大量的”，用于肯定句中，例如：1) There was plenty of work for girls of her age. 2) There are plenty of men out of work. (許多失業(yè)男子)proportion 比例。
7. 【答案】B. Moreover
【解析】本題測試邏輯搭配.moreover 意為“此外，而且”，正合題意。
8. 【答案】D. harm
【解析】本題測試詞義搭配. do harm to …對某人有害，正合題意。do damage to sth. 對….造成損害，與題意不符。do good to sb./sth. 對…有好處，與題意相悖。do與ruin不搭配，通常說cause ruin, bring about ruin, lead to ruin等
9. 【答案】A. as
【解析】本題測試結(jié)構(gòu)搭配.as 引導(dǎo)非限定性定語從句，例如：As you know, China is a country with a large population. (正如你所知道的，中國是一個人口眾多的國家)
10. 【答案】C. nor
【解析】本題測試邏輯搭配. not … as 翻譯時否定要轉(zhuǎn)移到as 上。
本句譯文：蜘蛛不像許多人想的那樣是昆蟲，它們甚至與昆蟲幾乎無關(guān)。nor引導(dǎo)的是延續(xù)否定句，其中省略了主語與系動詞。如果把主語與系動詞補上，則應(yīng)為：…nor are spiders even nearly related to them. not nearly 意為“全然不”，此句中的not的否定意義由nor來體現(xiàn)。此外，有些語法學(xué)家認(rèn)為，此類句子中nor連接的是兩個并列成分，例如：For ten days I did not see him nor telephone him.
so引導(dǎo)延續(xù)肯定句，例如：She was right, and so were you , at least to an extent. (她是對的，你至少在某種程度上也是對的。) 根據(jù)上下文意思，此句時表示延續(xù)否定，因此不能用，so。至于either,雖然也可以用在延續(xù)否定句中，但詞序不對，例如：1) I can’t dance, either. 2) China will not be a superpower, not either or even in the future. (中國不做超級大國，現(xiàn)在不做，以后也不做。)
none pron.作代詞：1) None of them spoke English except Tallit. 2)”How many fish did you catch?” ”None. ” 3) We none of us said anything. (作同位語) 4)She had none of her brother’s beauty.(她一點也不像他兄弟的美貌。)5) none but Johnson could have done such a thing.(只有約翰有可能作出這樣的事來。) 6) The stranger was none other than my old friend. (這位陌生人不是別人，正是我的老朋友。)
none adv. 作副詞：1) She spent two weeks in hospital but she is none the better for it. (她住院兩個星期，但他并不因此而好一些。) 2) None the less it is one of the most powerful weapons the workers possess. (盡管如此，這仍然是工人手中最有力的武器之一。)3) I am afraid he is none too clever .(恐怕他不太聰明。) 根據(jù)題意，本題不能選none.但上述有關(guān)none的用法，例句考生務(wù)必倍加注意，因為none是常用詞，所以它是重要的測試內(nèi)容。例如：1984年試題I. 26. The man over there is ____our principal. A. no other but B. no other than C. no one than D. none other than (應(yīng)選D. none other than)
11. 【答案】B. difference
【解析】本題測試邏輯型詞義搭配.根據(jù)上下文意思可以看出，此處是講蜘蛛與昆蟲的區(qū)別，故應(yīng)選 B。difference.考生在做類似試題時，一定要注意上下文的連貫意思。
12. 【答案】C. for
【解析】本題測試邏輯搭配.此句中for引導(dǎo)表示附加說明的原因分句。按傳統(tǒng)語法分類，for在此引導(dǎo)的分句是并列句而不是從句。按慣用發(fā)，在for前必須有逗號。
13. 【答案】D. involved
【解析】本題測試結(jié)構(gòu)型詞義搭配.participate(in)參與;join(in)參加;但本句謂語是被動語態(tài)，故上述兩詞均不能入選。be involved in 參與，參加;如填入句中不但在此以上，而且在結(jié)構(gòu)上均符合題意，故答案非D莫屬。
14. 【答案】D. behalf
【解析】本題測試詞慣用搭配.on one’s behalf or on behalf(=for; in the interest(s)of; on account of) 代表，為了….的緣故：1) I am writing on behalf of my mother to express her thanks for your gift. 2) I felt guilty on you behalf. (我為你感到內(nèi)疚。) in honor of or in one’s honor 為了(紀(jì)念或表示敬意而舉行某活動)：We gave the dinner party in his honor (我們?yōu)樗e辦晚餐會。) for the sake of 為了…..起見。on one’s good/bad side(搞好/壞 關(guān)系)：John thought that he would get a good grade if he got on the good side of the teacher.(約翰想，如他和老師搞好關(guān)系，他會得到高分。) 此外，on the side 額外的，作為兼職的：He makes a little money on the side by doing house-keeping work for Mrs. Johnson. (他替約翰太太做家務(wù)額外掙一點錢。)
15. 【答案】A. on
【解析】on 表示“關(guān)于(某一問題);對，就(某一點)”，例如：We had many quarrels on politics and religion. 2) You are an authority on clothes. 3) He is absorbed in his work on bacteria. in 表示“在…方面”，例如：a specialist in history 歷史學(xué)方面的專家。
16. 【答案】A. census
【解析】本題測試詞義搭配.本題測試考生辨析形似異意詞的能力。census 調(diào)查;consensus 一致看法。(意見等)一致;conscience 良心;consciousness 意識，覺悟，自覺。
17. 【答案】B. something
【解析】本題測試慣用搭配.something like(=approximately)大約。
18. 【答案】C. impossible
【解析】本題測試邏輯搭配.按上下文邏輯意思來看，應(yīng)選impossible,句中more than 修飾the widest,說明其程度，如：I’ m more than content with what you have just said (我對你剛才所說的極其滿意。)
19. 【答案】D. wildest
【解析】本題測試詞義搭配. wild 在此處的含義是“不精確的，大致的，(沒有證據(jù)的)大膽的”。本句譯文：不可能做出極其大膽的猜測：蜘蛛殺滅多少害蟲，但是蜘蛛是胃口極大的動物。它們肯定不會滿足一天只吃三頓。
20. 【答案】D. content
【解析】本題測試邏輯型詞義搭配.從邏輯意思和語義上分析，content正合題意。上面談到“蜘蛛是食量很大的動物”，可見“蜘蛛是不會滿足于一天三頓的”。be content with 滿足于：My father had to be content with this small success.
