After his recovery from illness, he his former position. (D)
A.assumed
B.presumed
C.consumed
D.resumed
正確答案:D
解析:
[翻譯]從病中恢復后,他繼續從事以前的工作。
[分析]resume的意思是“繼續,重新開始”,符合題意,所以 D是答案;assume和presume都近于漢語的“假定,假想”。assume含有比較強烈的武斷成分,往往把一件尚未證實的或尚存在異議的事作為自己論斷的基礎。例如:Let us assume that this is true.我們先假定這是真的。presume表示根據過去的經驗或者是合乎邏輯的推測來假設,一般是有較充分的理由,雖然結論仍可能是錯誤的。例如:From the available data it may fairly be presumed that the writer flourished in the 4th century.從現有的材料來看,推測作者活躍于第4世紀大概是不會錯的。consume的意思是“消費,消耗”。
(3). According to Nobel’s famous will, the interest on his fund will be _____ to five people who have made great contributions to mankind during the previous year. ()
A.contributed
B.devoted
C.distributed
D.allocated
正確答案:C
解析:
[翻譯]根據諾貝爾的著名遺愿,他的基金的利息將分發給上一年為人類做出重大貢獻的五個人。
[分析]distribute的意思是“將分發,分配,分送”;contribute to的意思是“捐獻,貢獻”;devote to的意思是“將……奉獻給”;allocate的意思是“分配,分派”。distribute和allocate都表示把一定數量的錢或東西在一些成員中進行分配。但在實際運用中,有一定的區別。distribute常指就整體定量分成若干份在各處分發,或將物品等發給某群體分散在各處的人員。一般經濟上的生產與分配中的分配都用這個詞。例如:The teacher distributed the examination papers to the class.教師分發試卷給全班學生。The products should be distributed in accordance with the principle “To each according to his work”. 應該依照按勞分配的原則來分配產品。allocate是指某執政機構為某政府計劃撥出???、財物。例如:Half of medical supplies have already been allocated funds for the new school.一半藥品已分配給震區的受害者。The town allocated funds for the new school.這個城鎮撥??罱o這所新建學校。
