1. which is easily concealed by habits
解析:每個人都有與生俱來的能力,只是很容易被習慣所掩蓋。本題的難點在於對動詞"掩蓋"的選擇。這裡的"掩蓋"是抽象含義,並不是像 cover那樣能找到真實的掩蓋物,所以應該選擇conceal,常用搭配由:conceal...from。另外,這句話是一個非限制性定語從句。句子需填補內容是對 ability的補充說明,"能力"是中心詞。因此,要用which引導這個非限制性定語從句。
2. can’t be overemphasized / can’t be emphasized too much
解析:本句考查的是"再......也不為過的"的說法。英語句型是:cannot + do sth. + too much 或 cannot over-do,如:He is so excellent that we cannot praise him too much.(他是這樣的優秀,我們怎樣稱讚他都不過分。)cannot是否定,與too much 和 over-V. 結構連用時強調肯定,表示"怎麼......也不為過"。
3. playing video games not only takes much time but also does harm to health
解析:句子需填補部分的主語是"打電動玩具",雖然"打"是動詞,但根據全句結構我們需要將play處理成動名詞形式充當主語。此外,考察"不僅......還"的.句型。"浪費時間"除了答案表達之外也可以用waste time 。
4. near-sightedness is a serious problem
解析:There is no doubt that後接從句,從句裡應有完整的主謂賓結構。如:There is no doubt that the thief jumped into the room from the balcony in the second floor.(毫無疑問,小偷是從二樓的陽臺跳進來的。) "近視"還可以說成myopia 或 short sight 。
5. smile has done me a lot of good
解析:本題考察"帶給某人很多好處"的表達。我們知道"對某人有好處"可以說成do good to sb. 或do sb. good,依此類推,"給我帶來很多好處"就是:do a lot of good to me或do me a lot of good 。
