一、单项选择题
1、Which of the following is the proper pronunciation of"have to" as a result of assimilation?
A．/hef tu/
B．/hey tu/
C．/hаef tu/
D．/hаev tu/
参考解析：解析：考查读音的同化。have to在发音过程中出现了同化现象，即have和to作为相邻词使用时。／v／受后面清辅音/t/的影响变成与自己对应的清辅音/f/，于是读音变为／haef tu／。
2、Which of the following shows the proper rhythmical pattern of the sentence?
A．´Come to ´see us at our ´new a´partment.
B．´Come to ´see us at´our new ´apartment.
C．´Come to ´see us ´at our ´new ´apartment.
D．´Come to ´see us ´at our ´new a´partment.
参考解析：解析：考查句子重读。一般来说，句子中的实词需要重读，比如名词、动词、形容词、副词、数词等。虚词多数情况下不重读，比如冠词、介词、物主代词(形容词性)、连词、感叹词等。故A项正确。
3、He came to dinner and my mom fixed a roast, prime rib, pie, yoghurt,
drinks, and all that kind of__________, and it was really good.
A．meat
B．stuff
C．staff
D．dish
参考解析：解析：考查名词辨析。meat“肉，肉类”，stuff“东西”，staff“工作人员”，dish“碟子，盘子”。题中的roast，prime rib，pie，yoghurt，drinks都属于stuff，故选B。
4、Unlike her__________ sister, Judith is a shy, unsociable person who dislikes to go to parties or to make new friends.
A．charming
B．friendly
C．gracious
D．gregarious
参考解析：解析：考查形容词辨析。分析句子可知空格处应填与shy(害羞的)和unsociable(不爱交际的)意思相反的同，因此选gregarious(爱交际的，合群的)。
5、He pledged support for__________care", where youngsters were looked
after by close relatives like aunts or uncles, but not parents.
A．family
B．kinship
C．sibling
D．relative
参考解析：解析：考查惯用搭配。根据由where引导的从句对先行词“ __________care”的描述，可知该处表示亲属抚养的意思。kinship care为惯用搭配，意为“寄养，亲属抚养”，符合题意，故选B。
