试题解析
1.[答案] A
[解析] 本题考核的知识点是:介词的用法。
本文第一句提出,对于语言来说,首先可以讨论的最小单位是单词。First和smallest两个形容词已经道出单词在语言中的重要地位。此后,文章进一步指出,说话时选择词语非常重要。我们看到,空格后是一个名词性短语utmost importance,而所给的四个选项全是介词,也就是说所选的介词应该与这个名词性短语组合在一起,做be动词的表语。
of的一个特定用法是:of+表示评估意义的抽象名词=该名词对应的形容词,可做表语,表示具有某种性质、状况。如:of great use=great useful, of importance=important, 所以A为正确选项。
2. [答案] C
[解析] 本题考核的知识点是:逻辑语意搭配+形容词词义辨析。
前面已经提到,单词在语言中占有首要地位,因此,说话时对词语的选用就变得非常重要。本句大意为:恰当的选词可以消除交流过程中......的障碍。
likely意为“可能发生的”,不论从语法角度,还是从逻辑角度讲都非常恰当。essible表示“难以达到的,难以接近的”,如:This novel seems to me among the most 。我们知道,说话过程中完全可能出现交流的障碍,essible不恰当。timely意为
“及时的,准时的”,如:a timely treatment及时的治疗。
