2.解析:选C。句意:尽管中医正逐渐被美国接受,但依然还有很长的路要走。reject“拒绝接受”;accumulate“积累”;recognize“认可”;evaluate“评估”。
3.解析:选A。句意:尽管他们尽力假装年轻,灰白的头发和皱纹还是泄露了他们真实的年纪。give away“泄露”,符合句意。bring out“使显现,拿出”;take on“承担,呈现,雇用”;put aside“撇开,把……放在一边,暂不考虑”。
4.解析:选B。句意:在世界上的一些国家,尽管女性是家庭的看护者,但是在家庭重大决定上她们很少有发言权。have a say in sth.“在……方面有发言权”。
5.解析:选D。句意:雨下三天了。只能坐在家里,我烦得要命。此处用现在完成进行时,表示现阶段一直下雨,强调动作的持续性。
6.解析:选B。句意:杰克这些日子情绪低落。上周和女朋友分手之后,昨天又被老板“炒”了。分词动作很明显发生在谓语动作之前,因此用现在分词的完成式。break up with sb.“(同某人)绝交”,故选B。选项中break off意为“折断,突然停止”。
7.解析:选A。句意:不是你说的话激怒了张老师,而是你说话的方式(激怒了他)。第一空填“that”,与It was构成强调句型;第二空填how,how表方式,在此引导名词性从句。
8.解析:选D。句意:除非你由于自我怀疑和害怕放弃自己的梦想,不然我相信你的努力终将会得到回报的。根据句意可知,应选unless“除非”。
9.解析:选C。句意:这些学生认为足球比赛是一项有趣的活动,活动中他们不仅能强身健体,还能增强他们的团队精神。where引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作地点状语。
10.解析:选B。句意:尽管父母应该照顾好他们的孩子,但是他们不必什么事都为他们做。necessarily“必要地”,符合句意。
11.解析:选D。句意:被选为第一位接受此殊荣的人,我实在无法用语言表达自己的感受。beyond expression“难以表达”。
12.解析:选C。考查非谓语动词。句意:随着晚会临近,Mathilde几乎问遍了她认识的所有人她该穿什么衣服去参加晚会。本题考查“疑问词+动词不定式”的复合结构。
13.解析:选D。考查虚拟语气。根据前半句中的“was delayed”“yesterday”可知,此处是对过去发生的事情的虚拟,所以用would have done。
14.解析:选D。考查名词辨析。句意:——大卫在这里工作了多久?——半年,他没有给我们留下太深的印象。leave an impression on sb.给某人留下印象。A.表情;B.指示,说明;C.结论;D.印象。故选D。

17.解析:选A。考查时态。句意:昨天下午当Don来短暂拜访我时,我已经写了几个小时的影评了。“短暂拜访”属于过去的动作,而“写影评”发生在“短暂拜访”之前,所以为过去的过去,用过去完成时,且在“短暂拜访”之前,“写影评”这一动作一直在进行,且持续了几个小时,故用过去完成进行时。
18.解析:选B。考查冠词用法。句意:对于世界上三分之一的鸟儿而言,迁徙是一种由天气的季节性变化和食物的缺乏引起的一种本能。“三分之一的鸟儿”是泛指,所以第一空不用冠词。第二空后的instinct是可数名词,这里指“迁徙是一种本能”,并且instinct是以元音音素开头,因此用an。
19.解析:选C。句意:成年礼仪式在大约能坐500名学生的礼堂举行。题干中的seat是及物动词,“让……就座,让……坐下”,定语从句中缺少主语,四个选项只有which可在从句中作主语或宾语。A.where在定语从句中做地点状语;B.whose谁的,在定语从句中作定语;C.which在定语从句做主语或宾语;D.when何时,在定语从句中作时间状语。故选C。
20.解析:选A。考查插入语。句意:我没有购买房子的打算。这个房子太贵了。此外,我已经对我们租来的小屋产生了感情。in addition“此外”,表示对前文的补充,和前文所提到的事件构成并列关系;all in all“总而言之”;after all“毕竟”;on the other hand“另一方面”。
