问题: 完型填空

完型填空老是做不好,有什么办法提高么?
一篇中的几个问题,汇总一下
1.But even the highest apes have not been found able to _____ words.
A.say B.speak C.pronounce

3.When man became______ intelligent,we must suppose that he gradually increased the number of cries for different purposes.
A.adequate B.sufficiently C.greatly

6.It was a great day when he discovered that speech could be used for narrative.There are those who think that in this______picture language preceded oral language,
A.respect B.case C.way D.point

8.or what prey he hoped to _______.
A.catch C.seize

以上问题出自一篇完型,我把可能影响到选择的上下句补充上去了,并且对选项做了些删减,剩下的选项都是我有疑惑的,麻烦分析每个选项,谢谢!!!

解答:

1、因为3个词各有侧重,say强调说的内容 speak常用于说一种语言 pronounce是发音。动物不能说我们的语言,强调它们无法清楚地表达,鹦鹉的可能不算清楚吧,呵呵~
2、A排除,因为需要副词。C的话读上去很不爽的,“当人类变得非常聪明”,其实变化是从“足够聪明”就开始产生了,对吧?
3、短语为“在这个方面”,case是案子,事件,point 的搭配是at the point,way的话,是一种方法,但是上半句显然不是方法。作者的意思大概是:在语言发展的方面,是由图片到语言的。
4、seize 为紧紧抓住,强调的是把手指握紧的这个动作,可以从它一些抽象的用法中看出“seize the opportunity”“seize the day”。catch 是强调结果的,用法更广泛,比如题目中的“抓住猎物”,是一种捕获的结果。
