笔译三级综合能力（单项选择）模拟试卷2
词汇选择题
1.When I last saw them, the police ________ the robbers down Columbus Street.(A)
A. were chasing
B. was chasing
C. chased
D. were on a chase
解析：本句考查时态。整句的时态为过去时，同时由于“我”看到的只能是“警察正追着扒手”，而不是看完了整个追捕的过程，因此要用过去进行时，主语the police为复数集体名词，谓语应用were，A项符合要求。
2.Hydroponics ________ the cultivation of plants without soil.(B)
A. does
B. is
C. do
D. are
解析：本题考查主谓一致。Hydroponics意为“水栽法”，是一种植物栽培方式，单词尾的s并非表示复数，因此谓语要用单数；同时此处应用be动词而不是行为动词do，所以选B项。
3.The statistics ________ that living standards in the area have improved drastically in recent times.(D)
A. proves
B. is proving
C. are proving
D. prove
解析：statistics作“统计学”讲时，用单数；表示“统计数据”时，是复数名词，谓语动词用复数。句中指“统计数据”，故D正确。
4.The iron and steel industry ________ an important part in our national economy.(A)
A. plays
B. played
C. play
D. playing
解析：当主语中包含有and时，如果它表示一个单一的概念，那么谓语动词要用单数动词，否则用复数动词。本题中的iron and steel industry表示的是一个单一的概念，因此谓语动词要用单数。所以本题的正确答案是A项。
5.You may find that each child in the kindergarten ________ a different answer to the question.(B)
A. give
B. gives
C. gave
D. giving
解析：each作主语或修饰主语时，谓语动词应使用单数形式。本题的主语为each child，因此可确定答案是B项gives。
6.Mr. Wells, together with all the members of his family, ________ for Europe this afternoon.(C)
A. are to leave
B. are leaving
C. is leaving
D. leave
解析：介词短语together with all the members of his family是句子的插入语成分，句子真正主语为Mr．Wells，因此谓语动词用单数形式。故C项为正确答案。
7.All the President’s Men ________ one of the important books for historians who study the Water-gate Scandal.(B)
A. remain
B. remains
C. remained
D. is remaining
解析：从句中是一般现在时，主句中的谓语动词remain也应该用一般现在时，而主语All the President’s Men是书名，所以谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式，故B项为正确答案。
8.My cousin, who ________ a painter, is in Japan at present.(B)
A. are
B. is
C. am
D. were
解析：关系代词who、which、that在定语从句中作主语时，从句中谓语动词的人称和数应与先行词一致。本题who指代的是先行词my cousin，因此定语从句中的动词应使用单数形式，正确答案是B项is。
9.Furniture makers use glue to hold joints together and sometimes to reinforce _______(D)
A. its
B. fast
C. hard
D. them
解析：本题考查代词的用法。空格处应填入一个宾语，根据句意此处也是joints，为了避免重复，可用them代替。故选D项。
10.\\(C)
A. that
B. it
C. so
D. this
解析：英语中为避免重复，常用代词替换前文提到的内容。此句中为避免两次提到(I’ll)be able to come，可用so代替。
11.John and I have just been telling stories _______.(B)
A. ourselves
B. to each other
C. each of us
D. both
解析：本题考查代词的用法。表示“两个人之间”，应用 each other，结合tell sth．to sb．的结构，此处应填to each other，B项正确。
12.Our association, which has consistently pressed for greater employment opportunities for the dis-abled, will publish _______ proposals in the near future.(D)
A. their
B. our
C. his
D. its
解析：需要填入的物主代词指代主语our association，而非所限定的proposals，所以应该用第三人称单数its，故选D项。
13.Your ideas, _______, seem unusual to me.(B)
A. like her
B. like hers
C. similar to her
D. similar to herself
解析：句中与your ideas相比较的比较项是her ideas，而不是her，由于her ideas可以由名词性物主代词hers代替，因此B项为正确选项。
14.His remarks were _______ annoy everybody at the meeting.(B)
A. so as to
B. such as to
C. such to
D. as much as to
解析：su
