Adverbial Clauses

1 、 ,Mr. Wells is scarcely in sympathy with the working class.

A. Although he is a socialistB. Even if he is a socialistC. Being a socialistD. Since he is a socialist解析：根据句意本句是让步状语从句，所以 althoug

h 符合题意。 even if 是“即使”的意思，在这里解释不通； being a socialist 表示“作为一个社会主义者”，没有让步的含义； since 表示“因为，既然”，引导的是原因状语从句。【 A 】

2 、 His remarks were annoy everybody at the meeting.

A. so as to

B. such as to

C. such to

D. as much as to

A. Whatever B. Whenever

C. Whichever D. However

A. it could be B. could beC. it was D. was解析：状语从句。 as…as one can 表示“尽可能

地”， A 和 B 的区别是主语不同， B 是 they could be 的省略形式，因为主句中出现的动词是 stood ，不是 be 动词，因此该项中的动词与前面不吻合； it could be 表示的意思是“在可能的情况下”， it 指代前面提到的内容，符合此处语义语法关系。【 A 】

A. man-made B. real

C. crude D. natural

解析： crude 此处意为“粗糙的，未加修饰的”，此处 crude forgery 意为“拙劣的赝品” man-made 表示“人造的”，与 forgery 无法搭配。而 real 与 forgery 是反义关系，不合逻辑。同理，natural 也不符合句意。故选 C

A. consequence B. aftermath C. result D. effect解析： aftermath 有“灾后时期，余波”之意。此

处是指地震之后可能出现的疾病问题，符合语句逻辑关系。 in consequence of 与 as a result of 意思相同，都有“由于，因为 ..... 的缘故”之意，表示产生的结果，但 consequence 前没有 the. affect 意为“影响”，与句子语境不吻合，排除。 故选 B

C. parted D. separated

解析： smack 意为“咂嘴”，这里 smack one’s lips 是“馋得）咂嘴，垂涎三尺”之意。 open lips 和 part one’s lips 都有“张开嘴”之意，这里不符合语句逻辑关系。 separate 有“分开”之意，但不与 lip 搭配使用。 故选 A

A. respectable B. admirable C. decent D. approachable解析： decent 在口语中意为“相当好的”，可用于

指人的德行好，这与 honest 属于同一 语义场，符合语境，故 C 正确。 respectable 意为“值得尊敬的”， admirable 意为“令人赞赏的，令人敬佩的”，虽然 respectable 和 admirable 都是褒义词，但均带有仰视的含义，而本题提及的是一个 young employee, 两个词的语体色彩不符合语境。 Approachable 意为“平易近人的 ,随和的”这里 approachable 与 honest 无关，排除。 故选 C
