参考答案及解析
21. D.
D选项fire为解雇的意思,与后半句hire正好形成了对比;而A,B两项均表示 “雇佣”的意思, 与原文的内容正好相反; C 项与本题内容无关.
22. B
might(may) as well 为一个固定短语,意思是:”不妨;还是……的好”. B项正合题意;但as well 与might(may) 拆开,便表示 “也……”的意思,不符合本题.had better 后接动词原型.
23. D
cycle 意为 “周期”; circular意为 “圆形的, 传单”; circumscribe 意为 “限制”; circulation 意为 “循环”.
24. A.
at a loss 意为 “亏本”; at all costs, at any rate, at any cost 都表示 “不惜一切代价, 无论如何”的意思。
25. D.
现在分词短语做定语.
26 B.
apart from “除……之外”; except, excluding 也是 “除……之外”的意思,但不包括后面设计的对象.despite of 意为 “不管,不顾”, 与本题内容不符.
27. B.
to be second only to 为固定搭配,意为 “仅次于……”. 另外, “the number of +名次” 做主语动词谓语应单数形式.

in the event of 意为 “当……时”; in the case of 意为 “就……而言”; in accordance with 意为 “根据, 按照”; in the course of 意为 “在……过程中”.

propose 的宾语从句中,谓语动词应用虚拟语气,其形式 “(should)+动词原型”,表示 “应该取做某事”.
