    A.in accordance with
    B.in terms of
    C.in favor of
    D.in honor of
    參考答案:D
    解析:正確答案選D。(A)in accordance with:"根據(jù)",比較正規(guī)的字眼,通常指根據(jù)國家法律規(guī)定或某些重要條例的規(guī)定。(B)in terms of:"就……而言,以……措詞,關(guān)于"。(C)in favor of:"喜歡"。(D)in honor of:"紀(jì)念;招待"。很明顯(D)最接近句意。故應(yīng)選(D)。全句的意思是:圣誕節(jié)是基督教神圣的日子,通常在12月25日舉行慶祝,以紀(jì)念耶穌基督的誕辰。
    18. Since it is late to change my mind now, I am _______to carrying out the plan.
    A.obliged
    B.committed
    C.engaged
    D.resolved
    參考答案:B
    解析:正確答案選B。(A)(be)obliged to:"對(duì)……很感激;不得不",后接名詞或后接不定式(作不得不解),不接動(dòng)名詞。例如:I am very much obliged to you for telling me.我非常感謝你告訴我。(后接代名詞you)。She was obliged to abandon the idea.她被迫放棄那種想法。(后接不定式)。本句to之后是動(dòng)名詞carrying,故(A)應(yīng)排除。(B)(be)committed(to):"同意承擔(dān);答應(yīng)干某事",后接動(dòng)名詞、不定式、名詞均可。例如:He was committed to fulfilling the task within two weeks.后接動(dòng)名詞fulfilling,符合題意,故(B)為正確答案。(C)engaged (in):"從事……",后接介詞in。而本題的空白處后為to+動(dòng)名詞。(C)明顯不符合題意,故(C)也應(yīng)立即排除。(D)resolved (to):"決心",后接不定式,不接動(dòng)名詞,故(D)也應(yīng)排除。
