1、The boy spent as much time watching TV as he________studying.
A.does B.had C.was D.did
2、The ship's generator broke down, and the pumps had to be operated________instead of mechanically.
A.manually B.artificially C.automatically D.synthetically
参考答案&解析:
1、D 由as…as连接的同等成分一致性的问题。在比较状语从句中可用助动词代替与主语相同的动词以避免重复,故可用did代替spent。句意:这个男孩花在看电视上的时间和花在学习上的时间一样多。
2、A 副词意义的辨析。四个副词的意义分别是:manually用手工操作地;artificially人造地;automatically自动地;synthetically综合地。句意:船的发电机坏了,不得不用手代替机械操纵水泵。
