【考点一】 It was ______ cold ______ everything______.

A. so; that; freeze B. so; that; froze

C. such; that; freeze D. such; that; freezed

【思路解析】此题考查such和so的用法区别及freeze的过去式的问题。so修饰形容词和副词,而such修饰名词,由形容词cold可知前边应用so修饰,排除C和D。主句的时态为一般过去时,that引导的结果状语从句在此也应为一般过去时,freeze的过去式是froze,故该题答案为B。

【知识拓展】(1) freeze做不及物动词时意为"be changed into ice",即"结冰;冻结"之意。另外该词还有"酷寒;冻僵"之意。其过去式和过去分词分别为froze,frozen。如:

Salt water freezes at a temperature lower than fresh water.盐水冰点温度比清水冰点温度低。

It must be the wind that makes it so cold. I'm freezing.一定是这场风把天气刮得这么冷,我冻得要命。

He hardly froze while waiting for the bus during the snowstorm.他在暴风雪里等公共汽车时几乎冻死。

(2)当freeze为及物动词时,意思是"使结冰;使凝固",后面可直接跟名词做宾语。如:

The north wind has frozen the water in the pool in the garden.北风使花园里的池水结冰了。

be frozen to death表示"冻死"。如:

He is nearly frozen to death, and he needs a hot drink.他几乎要冻死,他需要一杯热饮料。

【考点二】 He has made ______ in his work.

A. a good progress B. good progresses

C. good progress D. good a progress

【思路解析】此题考查名词progress的用法。progress为"进步"之意,是不可数名词。所以该题答案为C。句子意思是"他在工作上取得很大进步。"

【知识拓展】英语中常用make progress + 介词短语,表示"在......方面取得(......的)进步"。如:

John did not make much progress at school.约翰在学业上进步不大。

He has made great progress in learning how to write.他在学习写作上有了很大的进步。

【考点三】 在下列选项中选择一个与划线部分意思相同或相近的答案。

If we won this match, we would be the top.

A. we would be the last B. we would be the best

C. we would be the worst D. we would lose all games

【思路解析】原句的意思是"如果我们赢了这场比赛,我们将成为冠军"。A选项意思是"我们将是最后一位",B的意思是"我们将是最好的",C表示"我们将是最差的",而D则是"我们将输掉所有的比赛"之意。因此该题答案是B。

【知识拓展】 (1)top是名词,意思是"the highest point or part"即"顶点;最高部分",反义词为bottom(底部)。如:the top of a mountain (a tree,a house),山 (树,房)顶。另外top还有"上端;上部;最高点;最高地位"之意。如:the top of the page,"书页的上端",at the top of one's voice,"以最高嗓门",the top of a class,"班上名列前茅者"。如:

In 1924, Mallory and a team of British climbers tried to get to the top of Mount Qomolangma. 1924年,马洛里和一支英国登山队试图登上珠穆朗玛峰顶端。

Father Christmas lands on each top of the house, and climbs down into the chimney. 圣诞老人降临到每家的房顶上,爬到烟囱里。

(2)top还可以作形容词,意为"顶点的;最高的"。如:

The runner set off at top speed.赛跑者以最大速度出发。
