答案及解析
1.B题意:他由于营救地震遇难者的英雄壮举而获得市长授予的荣誉勋章。 本题是形近词辨析题。要在A.reward “酬劳,奖赏”和B.award“授予”之间进行辨析,由于宾语是荣誉勋章(medal of honor),所以只能选B.award(授予)。常用句型为:award sb something / award something to sb.。C. credit,把……归功于……;D.prize珍视。
2.D题意:加拿大人与大自然相处和睦,因为他们视自然界为衣食父母。本题是固定搭配题, 考查对介词短语in harmony with…(同……和谐、融洽)的掌握。A.coordination协调,调和;B.acquaintance相识,熟人;C.contact接触, 均为不正确搭配。
3.B题意:大众传媒有助于促进产品生产到消费的转化。本题是一道动词词义辨析题,考察对shift词意与句型的掌握。shift from … to …的意思是“从……移到……”为正确选项;干扰项C.lay emphasis后面应接on (强调……);A.vary、D.moderate的意思分别为“变化”、“缓和”, 与题意不符。题干中mass advertising的意思是“大众传媒”。
