　Making the news Ⅰ.单项填空1．He ________ to save the dying man，but failed.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　A．managed B．attempted C．risked D．assisted 答案　B　[句意：他努力想把那个垂死的人救过来，但没有成功。attempt to do＝try to do。而manage to do表示“做成某事”；risk doing“冒险做”。] 2．When I visited her，she was ________ in writing a lecture speech on Chinese History. A．absorbing B．concentrated C．devoted D．occupied 答案　D　[动词辨析。be occupied in doing sth“集中精力”。其他三个词的用法为be absorbed in/ concentrate on/ devote...to，故在此处的结构不正确。] 3．The policeman stopped him when he was driving home and ________ him of speeding. A．charged B．accused C．blamed D．warned 答案　B　[考查动词辨析。accuse sb of (doing) sth“指控某人做了某事”。句意：他开车回家时被警察拦住，指控他超速驾驶。] 4．We hired a boat ________ we could go fishing on the weekend. A．in order to B．so as to C．in order D．so that 答案　D　[后面是从句，所以排除动词不定式in order to和so as to，而in order后面跟从句要使用that。] 5．I thought wed be late for the concert，but we ended up getting there ahead ________ time. A．of B．in C．over D．for 答案　A　[考查介词搭配用法。ahead of time“提前”。句意：我原以为会迟到，但结果提前到了。] 6．As we all know，newspapers，magazines and radios as well as television broadcasts can keep us ________ about what is happening at home and abroad.

A．come B．came C．coming D．be coming 答案　B　[注意分析该句话的结构，the news 为主语，that we all were looking forward to为定语从句，所以此处缺少谓语动词。] 8．—Did you hear that Li Hua was robbed during his recent trip to South Africa? —Yes，not only________ his money，but he was nearly killed.

A．why B．what C．that D．where 答案　D　[句意：现在我们所有的人生活在相互竞争以取得进步的境况中。先行词为situation，从句中不缺少主语或宾语，而是缺少状语，故使用where。] 10．Little ________ that we were watching
