2019年mpacc考试英语真题——副词756

{01}Mrs Brown always takes things _________ too seriously, which makes the people around her uneasy.

A.rather

B.quite

C.fairly

D.more

解析：考查副词的用法。句意“布朗女士总是有点较真，这使得她周围的人不舒服。”rather too“稍微，一点”。故选A。
本题选A。
{02}The police are ______ to conclude that the cause of fire was a cigarette end.

A.probable

B.possible

C.maybe

D.likely

解析：考查近义词的用法：这几个词都有“可能”的意思，C. maybe是副词，A. probable，B. possible和D. likely都是形容词，但likely可以接sb/sth is likely to do“某人某物有可能做…”，句意是：警察有可能下结论说火灾的原因是香烟头。选D。
本题选D。
