1. 这里考查的是介词by的用法。by表示方法、手段、方式,意为“凭、借、靠、用,通过”,后接动词的 -ing 形式;所以选择C。 2. 这里考查的是动词make 固定搭配的用法。make an initial public offering,意为“首次公开募股”,所以选择B。 3. 这里考查的是通过上下文判断句意的能力。share 意为“股份,股票”;capital意为“资本”;profit意为“利润,利益”;从offer判断,此处应为share,所以选择A。 4. 这里考查的是通过上下文判断近义词的能力。as much as和as many as都修饰名词,意为“……之多”,“多达”,“整整”,强调“多”;但是as many as后接可数名词,as much as一般后接不可数名词;尽管句中的dollars为可数名词的复数形式,但由于$20 billion dollars仍是一个不可数的概念,故用as much as,所以选择B。 5. 这里考查的是通过上下文判断词义和词性的能力。value是名词,意为“价值”;valuate 是动词,意为“对……做估价”;valuable是形容词,意为“有价值的”;从词义和词性的角度,应该选择C。
