题
1. In the prose, the author describes the sunset as "a blaze of glorious colors". Which word best shows the vividness of the sunset?
A. blaze
B. glorious
C. colors
D. a
答案：A。

解析：在这个描述中，“blaze”这个词最能体现出日落的生动性。

“blaze”有火焰、闪耀的意思，用在这里将日落的色彩描绘得如同火焰般绚烂，极具视觉冲击力。

“glorious”虽然也表示辉煌的，但相比之下没有“blaze”那么直接地体现出那种闪耀的动态感。

“colors”只是简单地说颜色，比较平淡。

“a”是冠词，与表现日落的生动性无关。

2. The sentence "The old tree stood there, a silent sentinel." In this, the word "sentinel" is used. What does this word contribute to the description?
A. It gives the tree a sense of protection.
B. It just means a normal object.
C. It makes the tree seem unimportant.
D. It shows the tree is dead.
答案：A。

解析：“sentinel”的意思是哨兵、守卫者。

在这里把树比作一个沉默的守卫者，赋予了树一种保护感，让树的形象更加立体和富有意义。

选项B 说只是一个普通物体，这与“sentinel”所表达的含义相悖。

选项C说让树看起来不重要，而实际上这个词是在强调树的重要性。

选项D说树是死的，文中并没有这样的暗示。

3. In the prose passage, "The flowers danced in the gentle breeze." Which word makes the flowers seem alive?
A. danced
B. gentle
C. breeze
D. in
答案：A。

解析：“danced”这个词使花朵看起来像是有生命的。

它运用了拟人的修辞手法，将花朵在微风中的摆动描绘成跳舞，非常生动形象。

“gentle”只是形容微风的轻柔，没有体现花朵的活力。

“breeze”只是指微风这个事物本身。

“in”是介词，与使花朵看起来有生命无关。

4. The line "The moon cast a silvery glow over the landscape." Here, "silvery" is used. What is the effect of this word?
A. It gives a color and a sense of mystery.
B. It only tells the color.
C. It has no special meaning.
D. It makes the moon seem dull.
答案：A。

解析：“silvery”这个词不仅给出了月亮光芒的颜色是银色的，还营造出一种神秘的氛围。

选项B说只告诉了颜色，这种说法不完全，它还有营造氛围的作用。

选项C说没有特殊意义是错误的。

选项D说让月亮看起来暗淡，而实际上“silvery”是一种比较美的、带有神秘色彩的描绘，不会让月亮看起来暗淡。

5. "The stream murmured its way through the forest." Which word in this sentence gives a sense of the stream's movement?
A. murmured
B. way
C. through
D. forest
答案：A。

解析：“murmured”这个词赋予了溪流一种动态感，仿佛溪流在低语着穿过森林，将溪流流动时发出的声音形象地表现出来。

“way”只是表示一种路径，没有体现溪流的运动。

“through”是介词，表示穿过的方向。

“forest”是溪流穿过的对象，都不能体现溪流的运动。

6. In the prose, "The raindrops pattered on the roof." What does the word "pattered" emphasize?
A. The sound of the raindrops.
B. The size of the raindrops.
C. The color of the raindrops.
D. The origin of the raindrops.
答案：A。

解析：“pattered”这个词强调的是雨滴落在屋顶上的声音。

这个词是拟声词，生动地描绘出雨滴落下时发出的噼里啪啦的声音。

选项B说雨滴的大小，这个词没有体现雨滴大小。

选项C说雨滴的颜色，与“pattered”无关。

选项D说雨滴的来源，也不是这个词所强调的内容。

7. "The meadow was a carpet of wildflowers." Here, "carpet" is used. What is the advantage of using this word?
A. It shows the density and beauty of the wildflowers.
B. It only shows the area of the meadow.
C. It makes the meadow seem empty.
D. It implies the wildflowers are artificial.
答案：A。

解析：“carpet”这个词的使用展示了野花的茂密和美丽。

把草地比作野花的地毯，形象地表现出野花像地毯一样铺满草地的景象。

选项B说只显示草地的面积是不准确的。

选项C说让草地看起来空荡是错误的，实际上是强调野
花很多。

选项D说暗示野花是人造的，文中没有这种暗示。

8. "The stars twinkled in the inky sky." Which word makes the sky seem darker?
A. twinkled
B. inky
C. sky
D. the
答案：B。

解析：“inky”这个词让天空看起来更黑。

“inky”有漆黑的、墨水般黑的意思，生动地描绘出天空黑暗的程度。

“twinkled”是星星闪烁的动作，与天空的黑暗程度无关。

“sky”只是天空这个概念本身。

“the”是冠词，没有体现天空的黑暗。

9. "The wind whistled through the desolate valley." What does "whistled" add to the description?
A. It adds a sense of loneliness and the sound of the wind.
B. It only shows the direction of the wind.
C. It makes the valley seem crowded.
D. It has no relation to the description.
答案：A。

解析：“whistled”这个词增加了一种孤独感和风声的感觉。

风呼啸而过，在荒凉的山谷中更显孤独，同时也描绘出了风的声音。

选项B说只显示风的方向是错误的。

选项C说让山谷看起来拥挤，与原文中“desolate”（荒凉的）相悖。

选项D说与描述无关是错误的。

10. In the prose, "The dawn broke with a rosy hue." Which word is related to the color of the dawn?
A. broke
B. rosy
C. hue
D. the
答案：B。

解析：“rosy”这个词与黎明的颜色有关，“rosy”表示玫瑰色的、粉红色的，用来形容黎明的颜色。

“broke”是黎明破晓的动作，与颜色无关。

“hue”虽然也有色彩的意思，但“rosy”更直接地体现了黎明的颜色。

“the”是冠词，与颜色无关。

11. In the following two sentences from a prose: "The sun sets. The world becomes quiet." and "As the sun sets, the world gradually becomes quiet." Which sentence structure is more effective in creating a calm atmosphere?
A. The first one, because the short sentences are simple and direct, emphasizing the suddenness of the change.
B. The second one, because the complex sentence structure with "as" shows the process of the change more vividly.
答案：B。

解析：在这个散文语境中，第二个句子使用了“as”引导的时间状语从句，这种复杂的句子结构能够更生动地展现出随着太阳落山，世界逐渐安静下来这个过程，更有利于营造出一种平静氛围缓缓降临的感觉。

而第一个句子虽然简洁直接，但更侧重于强调变化的突然性，不太能体现出平静氛围的逐渐形成，所以A选项不符合。

12. Consider the sentence "She walked in the garden. Flowers were everywhere." and "Walking in the garden, she saw flowers everywhere." Which sentence structure better conveys the beauty of the garden?
A. The first one, as it presents two simple actions separately.
B. The second one, as the present participle phrase at the beginning makes the connection between the two parts closer.
答案：B。

解析：第二个句子以现在分词短语开头，将“她在花园里走”和“看到到处是花”这两个部分的联系变得更紧密，更能传达出花园的美。

而第一个句
子只是分别陈述了两个简单动作，连贯性不如第二个句子，不能很好地传达出花园整体的美感，所以A选项不合适。

13. "The old house stands there. It has a long history." and "The old house standing there has a long history." Which sentence structure is more concise?
A. The first one.
B. The second one.
答案：B。

解析：第二个句子使用了现在分词短语“standing there”来修饰“the old house”，使句子结构更加简洁，将两个句子的信息整合到了一个句子中。

而第一个句子是两个独立的句子，相对来说不够简洁，所以A选项错误。

14. In the prose, we have "He left. His heart was full of sadness." and "He left with his heart full of sadness." Which sentence structure is more impactful in expressing his emotion?
A. The first one, because the two simple sentences can show the two situations clearly.
B. The second one, because the prepositional phrase "with his heart full of sadness" directly links his leaving and his emotion.
答案：B。

解析：第二个句子中的介词短语“with his heart full of sadness”直接将他的离开和他的悲伤情绪联系起来，在表达他的情感上更有冲击力。

而第一个句子虽然能清楚展示两个情况，但在情感联系的紧密性上不如第二个句子，所以A选项不正确。

15. "The wind blew. The leaves fell." and "When the wind blew, the leaves fell." Which sentence structure is better for showing the cause - and - effect relationship?
A. The first one.
B. The second one.
答案：B。

解析：第二个句子使用了“when”引导的时间状语从句，能够更清
楚地展示出风吹和树叶落下之间的因果关系。

第一个句子只是简单陈述了两个事件，没有明确体现出这种因果关系，所以A选项不符合要求。

16. "The moon is high. The night is beautiful." and "With the moon high, the night is beautiful." Which sentence structure gives a more harmonious feeling?
A. The first one.
B. The second one.
答案：B。

解析：第二个句子中的“With the moon high”这种结构使句子前后部分的联系更加紧密，给人一种更和谐的感觉，更能体现出月亮高悬与夜晚美丽之间的联系。

而第一个句子是两个独立的句子，和谐感相对较弱，所以A选项不合适。

17. "I saw a bird. It was flying in the sky." and "I saw a bird flying in the sky." Which sentence structure is more suitable for quickly presenting the scene?
A. The first one.
B. The second one.
答案：B。

解析：第二个句子使用了现在分词短语“flying in the sky”来修饰“a bird”，这种句子结构能够更迅速地呈现出看到鸟在天空飞翔这个场景。

而第一个句子是两个独立的句子，在表达的紧凑性上不如第二个句子，所以A选项不符合。

18. "The rain stopped. The rainbow appeared." and "After the rain stopped, the rainbow appeared." Which sentence structure is more effective in showing the sequence?
A. The first one.
B. The second one.
答案：B。

解析：第二个句子使用了“after”引导的时间状语从句，更有效地展示出雨停和彩虹出现的先后顺序。

第一个句子只是简单陈述两个事件，顺序感不如第二个句子明确，所以A选项错误。

19. "The little girl sat. She was reading a book." and "The little girl sat reading a book." Which sentence structure is more vivid in presenting the girl's action?
A. The first one.
B. The second one.
答案：B。

解析：第二个句子使用了现在分词短语“reading a book”来描述小女孩坐着时的动作，更生动地呈现出小女孩的行为。

而第一个句子是两个独立的句子，在生动性上不如第二个句子，所以A选项不合适。

20. "The stars twinkled. The sky was dark." and "In the dark sky, the stars twinkled." Which sentence structure is more conducive to creating a mysterious atmosphere?
A. The first one.
B. The second one.
答案：B。

解析：第二个句子中“in the dark sky”这种结构将星星闪烁放在黑暗的天空这个背景下，更有利于营造出一种神秘的氛围。

而第一个句子是两个独立的句子，神秘氛围的营造效果不如第二个句子，所以A选项不正确。
