1、 PETS一级英语知识运用经典练习 (一)阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出能填入相应空白处的选项。The Big Ben(英国大笨钟) is located in the tower in London. It is very famous 1 the world, but nobody knows why it is 2 Big Ben.

4、.A 8.B 9.C 10.C 【精解】 通过第一遍的快速通读，我们也许了解这篇短文主要是讲英国大笨钟名称的由来。1的三个选项中，表示全世界文明应当用throughout the world. 这也是个习惯用法。2是对语态的考察，“被称为”要用被动语态，A、B语态都不对。关于命名有两个故事，因此3选about. 4是考察动词的习惯搭配，name after表示“以命名”。故正确答案为after. 假如考生并没有把握这个词组也能通过上下文选出正确答案，由于下一句就有同义词组call after. 5也是考察考生对上下文的把握，人们称Benjamin Caunt为Big Ben，因此指代Benjamin Caunt应当是him. 6考察习惯搭配，in charge of 表示负责，主持（工作）。7是说大家争论、商议钟的命名问题，因此应当是discussion，decision的意思是打算，而fighting 表示争吵，意思都不妥当。8利用排解法很简单得出正确答案，A、C都比拟简单排解，由于很明显时态不对，因此正确答案是B。通过分析我们知道，9处应当是个状语，做状语的一般词性为副词而不是形容词，因此正确答案为suddenly。10考察惯用词组，from then on 从那时起，from now on 表示从现在起，一般没有from that on 的说法。
