Multiple choice questions
1.I was always afraid of something _____ out at me from behind the door.
A. leaping B. running C. walking
句子考察的是leap的用法：
leap :jump ;move quickly
Eg:My heart leapt for joy at the news.
Look before you leap. 三思而后行。
句子的意思是我总是害怕什么东西从门后面______出来吓我。故选A。
2.This _______ respectable lady turned out to be a murderer who had, in her youth, poisoned every one of her three husbands.
A.superficial B. surface C. seemingly
superficial adj. apparent when looked at quickly or carelessly, but perhaps not real
surface n/ adj. 表面，不真实的
seemingly adv.表面的
句子中要求的是副词，所以AB都排除了。不过A、B都做adj. 的时候区别在哪里呢？有人知道么？答案为C
3.The baby ______ to the music in a funny way.
A.changed B. swayed C. shook
sway: move or lean slowly from side to side; change the opinions
shake(shook shaken): move quickly form side to side; disturb the calmness of sb.
答案为B，跟随音乐的摇摆怎么也是轻快随意的吧。
4.The Senator’s scandalous affair with the actress ______ not only his reputation but also his political prospects.
A. raided B. ruined C. stopped
raid: sudden surprised attack
ruin: damage or destruction
ruin one’s reputation 毁…名誉
答案为B
5.She was so scared by the strange sound from the cave that her blood _____ for a moment.
A. ran cold B. frozen C. stood on end
make sb.’s blood run cold: fill sb with fear and horror
Eg: The sight of the dead body made his blood run cold.
freeze one’s blood /make one’s blood freeze
意思上A B都可以，但是B 中的frozen是freeze的过去分词，时态不对。所以排除。
one's hair stands on end :某人感到毛骨悚然的
make/set one's hair stand on end: 使某人感到毛骨悚然的
好象没有 flood stands on end 的说法的。。。大家见过么？
选A
Translate the following sentences into English.
1.她在这部戏里面扮演医生的角色。
2.使我们非常不快的是，她忘记了我们的誓言。
3.一想到那次可怕的经历，他就害怕。
1．She took the role of the doctor in the play.
2．Much to our displeasure she forgot our promise.
3．He was frightened at the idea of that dreadful experience.
翻译小结：
第一句大家基本上采用的是以下句型：
She acted/played as a role of a doctor in this play/show/drama.
有两点说明：
1.she was cast in the role of a doctor in the play.(cast 挑选演员的意思，如果用这个词语必须用被动，一些用主动的人用错了，与原
句子的主动略有差异）
2.She took a role with doctor in this drama. （a role 后面跟的是介词of…… a role with /a role as 都不对）
第二个句子基本为以下三个句型：
What made us very unhappy/dismay is that she has forgotten our oath /vow
To our unhappiness, she had forgotten our promise/oath/pledges/parole /asseveration. .
It's unpleasant/ uncomfortable for us that she forget our pledge.
但是感觉最后一个句型不是很好。
主要的差别在于誓言这个词，个人感觉这些词没有什么不对。：）
第三句：
she would be scared at the idea of the horrible experience
On thinking of the terrible experience,he felt afraid.
His hair stands on end when he thinks about the terrific experience.
he will be scared at the thought of that terrible experience.
He was afraid when that terrible experience occur to him.（occur to sb想到，想起，这个词用的不错）
