　　答案与简析:

　　1. (1) suits (2) fit; suit.表"合适"时,fit用于指资格、能力、大小等,而suit指场合及款式、颜色等.

　　2. (1) are content to (2) be content with.习惯表达:be content to do"乐于;满足于做……";be content with"满足于……",后面跟名词、代词等作宾语.

　　3. (1) is (2) are; are.such, all, some, the rest, 60 percent等作主语时,谓语动词要根据它们所指的事物是可数还是不可数、以及复数还是单数分别使用单数或复数谓语动词形式.

　　4. (1) isn't fond of/doesn't like (2) was fond of / liked.两者都可以表"喜欢",但表"不大喜欢"时,只能用be fond of的否定形式.

　　5. (1) Lost (2) missing / lost (3) gone.三者都可表"失去",但各有侧重点:lost是广义的"丢失",包含可找回和不能找回的意思;missing强调某物或某人暂时找不着了(含最终可能找到之意);gone的含义最广,包括"(东西)没了;(时间)过去了;(人)死了"等,而且语气肯定.

　　6. (1)stick to (2)insisted on (3)sick to.表"坚持"时,insist on(doing sth.)强调行为,stick to强调理论、观点等.

　　7. (1)leads to / causes (2)leading to (3)caused.lead to"导致(结果);(道路)通向(何处)",cause sth. / cause (sb.) to do sth."引起(某事);引起某人做某事".前者侧重事情的终结,后者侧重事情的开端.

　　8. (1)living (2)with (3)to talk.go on doing"继续做(原来的事)";go on to do"接着做另一件事";go on with与go on doing含义相同,但只能跟名词或代词等作宾语,不能跟动名词.

　　9. (1)likely (2)possible; probable / likely.这三个词都表"可能性",但possible和probable是形容词,只能修饰事、物;而likely既是形容词又是副词,可修饰事物,也可修饰人.likely语气最强,probable次之,possible最弱.

　　10. (1)Once (2)As soon as.两者都含"一……就"之意,但once强调条件,as soon as强调时间.

　　11. (1)broad; wide (2)broad.两者都表两边或两点之间的距离"宽的",此时可通用.但着重指某物覆盖面的范围,如:肩、背、胸等宽时,用broad,还可表宽宏大量;wide指边儿、沿儿间相隔的距离,以及指"广泛".

　　12. (1) no more (2) no longer (3) any longer (4) any more.一般而言,no more表示数量或程度,意为"没有;不再;不是",其余三个词通常只表时间概念,意为"不再".同时,no more和not any more表某事不再重复;而no longer,not any longer指某行为或状态不再延续.

　　13. (1) from (2) up of (3) of (4) from.一般而言,make...of(被动式为be made of)制作某物的原材料能看出(或说没发生化学变化);make...from指原材料发生了化学变化,不能辨出,也可表"由……改作";强调由多种元素构成时用make...up of.

　　14. (1) from (2) between.习惯用法:tell A from B"区分A和B",也可说tell the difference between A and B.注意介词的用法区别.

　　15. (1) to (2) for (3)for.两者都表"对……有用",be useful for表特指(部分),而be useful to表泛指(全部).后面跟动名词时,只能用be useful for.

　　16. (1) up / out (2) into (3) out; after (4) at.look into"调查;了解;研究";look up"查出(词意等);看望"等;look out"当心;找出";look at除了表"看"之外,还表"看待;考虑"等.常用的搭配还有look forward to"盼望",look through"翻阅;看一遍",look over"翻阅;复习",look down upon"歧视",look round"环顾"等.

　　17. (1) As (So) far as (2) so (as) long as (3) As far as.as (so) far as意思是"就……(而言;所知)"等,as far as sth. is concerned是其中一种特殊表达,意为"就某事而言";as (so) long as"只要",引导条件状语从句.

　　18. (1) carried out (2) were carrying on.carry out意为"执行;实行";carry on"(继续)进行;进行下去",强调坚持.

　　19. (1) with (2) at.习惯表达:at the speed of或者at...speed,意为"以……的速度";而当speed被all, lightning, great等修饰时,介词应换用with,我们可用一句口诀来帮助记忆:都(all)以闪电般(lightning)大(great)的速度行驶.

　　20. (1) at present (2) now.两者都含"现在;目前"之意,但at present相对于将来,而now相对于过去.

　　21. (1)affairs (2)business / affairs (3) business.作"事务"讲时,两词意义相近;但affair常指重大或头绪繁多的事务,常需用复数;business不能用复数,所以表"生意"时,只能用business.
