2015年GCT英语备考辅导：词汇语法之动词法

　　• When I at last 1 the town, I felt 2 tired to go in 3 of a room at once so I went into the nearest restaurant to where I had parked my car and sat down at a table. A waitress was clearing up the remains of a meal which must have 4 eaten by at least forty people.

　　1. [A] got [B] reached [C] arrived [D] attained

　　2. [A] very [B] very much [C] too [D] so

　　3. [A] search [B] searching [C] look [D] looking

　　4. A) be [B] being [C] been [D] to be

　　•1. [B]

　　•这一题是关于动词的用法。从句义看，这儿要填“到达”的意思。Get后面须接to， arrive后接at或in，attain的意思是“得到”。只有reach无需跟介词，直接跟宾语表示“到达”某地。 所以，做动词选项题时，要考虑动词与宾语是否相配，时态、语态是否合适，以及词义区别。再看下文第1, 2 和8小题的动词：

　　• Although interior design has existed since the beginning of architecture, its development into a specialized field is really quite recent. Interior designers have become important partly because of the many functions that might be 1 in a single large building.

You would be shocked if the inside of your bedroom were suddenly changed to look 4 the inside of a restaurant. And you wouldn’t feel 5 in a business office that has the appearance of a school.

　　• It soon becomes clear that the interior designer’s most important basic 6 is the function of the particular space. For example, a theater with poor sight lines, poor sound-shaping qualities, and 7 few entries and exits will not work for its purpose, no matter ho w beautifully it might be 8 . Nevertheless, for any kind of space, the designer has to make many of the same kind of 9 . He or she must coordinate the shapes, lighting and decoration of everything from ceiling to floor. 10 addition, the designer must usually select furniture or design built-in furniture, according to the functions that need to be served.

　　9. [A]solutions [B]conclusions [C]decisions [D] determinations

　　动词在完型填空中出现频率较高 ，04年考了三题，两题属于词义辨析，一题属于动名词搭配。由于动词是英语句子中的核心，围绕着它出现的语法问题多，自然也就成了测试的重点。复习备考，动词是词汇中的重中之重，应特别重视词义辨析和搭配。
