一、单选题（共20题）

1：Which of the following words is closest in meaning to "convivial"?
A. hostile
B. cheerful
C. solemn
D. gloomy

答案：B
解析：The word "convivial" means "characterized by friendliness and good humor," which makes "cheerful" the closest in meaning. "Hostile," "solemn," and "gloomy" all have meanings that are opposite to those of "convivial."

2：Choose the sentence that does not follow the parallel structure of the other three.
A. The library has a large collection of books, magazines, and journals.
B. The museum features ancient artifacts, contemporary art, and historical exhibits.
C. The garden is filled with roses, peonies, and tulips.
D. The restaurant offers Italian cuisine, French wines, and Asian specialties.

答案：B
解析：The other sentences all follow a parallel structure with two items listed next to each other. In sentence B, "ancient artifacts, contemporary art" and "historical exhibits" do not follow this parallelism because they are not two types of items but rather categories within a single type.

3：In the sentence "The experiment yielded results that were both unexpected and groundbreaking," the word "yielded" most nearly means:
A. provided
B. observed
C. analyzed
D. documented

答案：A
解析：“Yielded” means to provide or give something as a result. In the context of the sentence, the experiment "provided" unexpected and groundbreaking results.

4：Select the word that best completes the sentence "The author's tone can be described as ______."
A. enthusiastic
B. sarcastic
C. apathetic
D. ambiguous

答案：A

B. It can be used to show that a conclusion follows logically from the evidence presented.
C. It is often used to introduce a new topic.
D. It is typically used at the beginning of a sentence.

答案：C
解析：“Therefore” is used to introduce a conclusion or a logical consequence of what has been stated previously, not to introduce a new topic. The use of "therefore" is not typically at the beginning of a sentence, which makes option D also false, but C is the more clearly incorrect statement.

6：In the passage about climate change, which sentence most effectively uses transitional words to connect ideas?
A. "The ice caps are melting at an alarming rate, which means sea levels are rising."
B. "The ice caps are melting, and this is causing sea levels to rise."

D. "The melting of the ice caps, combined with the rise in sea levels, is a major environmental concern."

答案：D
解析：Sentence D uses transitional words ("combined with") to effectively connect the ideas of melting ice caps and rising sea levels, making the relationship clear and logically flowing.

7：Choose the sentence that best illustrates the use of a metaphor in literature.
A. "The old man's eyes were as deep as the ocean."
B. "The old man was a master at fishing."
C. "The old man's boat was a simple wooden craft."

10：Choose the word that best fits in the blank in the following sentence: "Despite the harsh winter, the flowers _______ in the garden."
A. bloomed
B. blossomed
C. flourished
D. blossomed

答案：A
解析：“Bloomed” is the correct choice because it is the simple past tense of the verb “to bloom,” which means to open into flowers. The other verbs, while also related to flowers, are not the past tense or do not fit the context as well.

11：In the following sentence, identify the dangling modifier: "After finishing my work, I left my laptop ______."
A. on the table
B. with a password
C. unlocked
D. and went to the gym

A. inevitable
B. voluntary
C. accidental
D. desirable

答案：A
