解析
1. D。句意:说实话,我相信他说的都是真的,但我不信任他。To be honest“老实说,说实话”符合句意。Generally speaking一般而言;On the contrary正相反;In particular尤其,特别。
2. D。“恐怕要到明天才能修好”的言下之意就是“现在赶不出来”,再根据答语That’s OK可直接得出no hurry“不忙,不必着急”。A、B、C均不合语境。
3. C。据句意“我们队只有赢了星期六那场才能继续参加比赛。胜败难卜,每个人都必须竭尽全力”可知,形势对于我们来说是非常严峻的,故选at stake“危如累卵,处于危险中,在紧要关头”。at length充分地,详尽地;at last终于;at most至多。
4. D。time and again无数次,屡次,一再,反复;over again和once again 均为又一次之意,now and again时而,偶尔,有时。根据sometimes I phone them.的意义可知,选D。
5. D。句意为“别对他太苛刻了,毕竟这次考试他已考得很好了”,故选after all“毕竟”。解题关键是理解be too hard on。on purpose故意地;in all总共。合计;on time按时,准时。
6. C。no more than仅仅,只不过;not more than不超过,不多于;more than多于,超过;less than少于。题意思是:此工作超出我独自一人做的极限,我需要帮助。这是一个more (…) than …can句型,又如:He has more money than he can spend.
7. D。句意为“不管气候条件如何,这块地总是保持高产稳产”。regardless of“不管,不顾”符合题意。
8. C。In other words“换句话说”;What’s more“而且”;Believe it or not“信不信由你”;All the same“仍然”。根据语境可推测,没人相信会有人不及格。A、B、D三项不合语意。
9. A。搜救人员要夜以继日地工作,才能救出更多的矿难失踪人员。round the clock “夜以继日”;in the clock时钟里;around the time约在那时;in the meantime“同时”;故选A。
10. D。even though即使, 纵然;the moment一…就…;provided that假如,若是;now that既然。据题意“既然你已经是大学生了,你就应该学会不依赖父母的帮助”可知选D。
