选项 51._________
A: without
B: with
C: having
D: selling

答案 B

解析 空格后是一种装置,用它来改变火灾时找不到出口的危险境况。表达“用……装置”这层意思就要用介词with。其他几项均不符合句子的意思。


Sound Alert是一家公司的名字,a company是Sound Alert的同位语,根据句意判断,应选择run by,意为“由……经营的”。其他选项虽然语法正确,但都与句意不符。


从文章标题以及文章内容和本句后面部分resource center for the blind,可以推断这里最好的选择就是C。


因为这种警告装置已在上文中提到:第一段中的directional sound alarms,第二段中的installing the alarms in a residential home...,所以这里的alarms是特指,要用定冠词。选项C是错误的,因为它是单数形式。


句子的前半句有a wide range of frequencies,发出来的应该是sound,而不是令人烦躁的noise。用music或bell都有些突然,与上下文的意思不连贯。


文章一直在讨论警报器、声音和波长,所以首先排除选项A;从上下文的意思看,不可能是选项B和C,因为警报器的制造,就是为了让失明的人听到。


选择A、B、D均不能构成语义连贯的句子,而且语法上也有问题。选项C能使句子结构成为“It is... that”的强调句型。


从所给的选项可以看出,这里要表达的意思是“烟火弥漫的房间”。有了这个理解,现在要做的就是选择正确的表达形式。A是“烟熏的”,D是“使……烟火弥漫的”,所以意思不对,C填入后就出现filled with smoke room,不符合语法。只有B是正确选项。


这里显然是“It takes somebody + time +动词不定式”的句型,但选择什么时态是关键。从上句看,应选择一般过去时,因为整个段落是对一次实验的描写,而且上面一句也使用了一般过去时。


后半句的one指上半句中的a sound alarm。该句上半句和下半句由but连接,表示 相反的意思,从后半句的with可以看出,两个相对比的事物是:the door without a sound alarm和the door with a sound alarm,所以选择C。


选项B、C和D显然是错误的,因为词义不符。只有选项A是答案。句子的意思是,Withington在她的大学里研究大脑如何处理声音。


句子中的more...than表示该句是对两样事物的对比。than后面是the source of a narrow band,这里的narrow和前半句的wide形成反比,从上下文中可以看出,the source of a narrow band of ( frequencies)是和the source of a wide band of frequencies形成对比。


这个句子有主语alarms,有谓语have been installed,这里应填入动词的分词形式。 be based on是常用的搭配,所以应选择动词的过去分词形式。选项A. basis是名词,明显是错的。


根据上半句中的rising or frequencies,这里应填入or,与上半句表达的意思相一致。音频升高表示上楼,音频降低表示下楼。


首先确定主语They指的是第一句中的主语The alarms,后半句说这种设备得到大 笔资助。根据上文内容,我们知道资助的目的是开发这种alarms,所以应该选择devel- oped。
