2019年mpa英语试题——动词及动词短语辨析4267

{01}The traffic lights ______ green and I pulled away.

A.came

B.grew

C.got

D.went

解析：
试题分析：考查系动词用法。本题的四个选项中D项可以用于颜色的搭配，go green变绿，相当于turn green；ABC三项都不和颜色的词连用。Come, grow都表示渐渐变化的过程；句意：交通灯变绿了，我开车离开。故D正确。
点评：英语中的系动词分为四类，be动词；感官动词feel, sound, touch, smell；等；变化类turn, get, become等；似乎类seem, appear等；在平时对这些词的用法要多加关注。特别要注意一些特殊之处如go可以表示由好变坏。
本题选D。
{02}Some high officers were punished by law only because they were _______ what didn’t belong to them.

A.possessing

B.possessed

C.in possession of

D.in the possession of

解析：
试题分析：考查possess用法。因为横线前面有were，A项的过去进行时与句意不相符。B项的中的被动语态的形式也是错误的。In possession of sth占有某物；In the possession of sb被某人占有。句意：很多高级官员都法律惩罚仅仅是因为他们占有了不属于他们的东西。故C正确。
点评：possess表示占有；其名词为possession。构成固定词组In possession of sth占有某物；In the possession of sb被某人占有。
本题选C。
