by sea是固定词组,用作状语,表示方式,意为“乘船”。类似词组还有by air (乘飞机),by land (由陆路)。第二个空缺选the,表“特指”。
答案:B.
22. --- Do you mind if I record your lecture?
--- ___________. Go ahead.
A. Never mind B. No wayC. Not at allD. No, you’d better not
【解析】考点是:情景交际。
Never mind “没关系,不要紧”,常用于别人向你致歉时的答语。No way“决不,不可能”拒绝对方。如:Do you want to help?--No way! (你想帮忙吗?决不!)。Not at all“根本不” (意为“一点儿也不介意”)。No, you’d better not不符合交际习惯。
答案:C.
23. --- Is Peter there?
--- _____________, please. I’ll see if I can find him for you.
A. Hold upB. Hold onC. Hold outD. Hold off
【解析】考点是:动词短语词义辨析。
hold up“阻止,举起”;hold on“稍等会儿,(打电话时)别挂断”;hold out“伸出,提出”;hold off本题考查的是打电话时的用语;hold off“推迟,战胜,克服”。从语境看这是打电话时叫对方别挂。故选B。
答案:B.
