1.—Why haven't you bought any butter?
—I ________to, but I forgot about it.
A.meant B.liked
C.wanted D.expected
答案 A [考查动词词义的辨析。mean to do sth打算干某事;而meant to do sth 则表示本来打算干而没有干。答语为省略句,补充完整为I meant to buy some butter,but...。句意:——
你为什么没有买黄油?——我本来打算买的,但我忘了。]
2.Madam Curie,________to scientific research, was________the Nobel Prize twice.
A.devoted herself; awarded
B.devoted; rewarded
C.who devoted ; awarded
D.devoted; awarded
答案 D [分析句子结构可知,第一空应为非谓语形式,devote to (doing)sth常在句子中作状语,其现在分词形式应为devoting sth/oneself to ;第二空考查动词的辨析,reward奖励;给以报酬;award 授予。句意:居里夫人由于献身科学研究而被两次授予诺贝尔奖。]
