弄清其中心思想和大意。所以湖南自考生網(wǎng)為報(bào)考了2017年下半年湖南自考學(xué)位英語(yǔ)的考生們提供了學(xué)位英語(yǔ)考試中的完形填空（5），希望能供各考生

答案及解析

1.【解析】C

cover“覆蓋”，在本句中指美國(guó)占據(jù)北美大陸的很大一部分面積。其他三個(gè)詞都與本意無關(guān)，所以選C。

2.【解析】A

表示兩個(gè)地區(qū)的位置有三個(gè)介詞：in、to、on.in表示兩者存在所屬或包含的關(guān)系。(如臺(tái)灣和中國(guó)的關(guān)系)，to表示兩地相鄰但不接壤(如中國(guó)和日本的關(guān)系)，on表示相鄰且接壤(如中國(guó)和越南的關(guān)系)。因選項(xiàng)中沒有on，就只能選to，表相鄰。

3.【解析】A

“美國(guó)是個(gè)大國(guó)”與“它不是世界上最大的國(guó)家”兩個(gè)分句間很顯然是轉(zhuǎn)折的關(guān)系，所以應(yīng)選although，只有它表轉(zhuǎn)折。now that=since“現(xiàn)在，既然”，表原因。

4.【解析】C

本句意思是美國(guó)獨(dú)立后有13個(gè)州，每個(gè)州都在美國(guó)國(guó)旗上有所表現(xiàn)。謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是was，意味著主語(yǔ)是單數(shù);這樣排除了aU和some.而every一般不與of連用，所以只能選each.

5.【解析】B

two more stars“又多了兩顆星”。another表示“又，再”的時(shí)候，往往放數(shù)詞之前，應(yīng)說"another two stars"。

6.【解析】D

representing the new states“代表著兩個(gè)新州”，該結(jié)構(gòu)是現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)，修飾stars，因?yàn)?span lang="EN-US">stars和represent之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用現(xiàn)在分詞來表示。

7.【解析】A

介詞of在此處表示同位關(guān)系，即the new states就是指Alaska和Hawaii.又如：the city of Beijing北京市。

8.【解析】B

in great numbers“大量地，大批地，成群結(jié)隊(duì)地”，指人成群地來，固定搭配。

9.【解析】A

on the coast“沿著海岸線”。coast往往和on相搭配，而不與其他介詞搭配。

10.【解析】C

for that reason“由于那個(gè)原因”，固定搭配。又如for some reason“由于某種原因”。
