1．—Why haven't you bought any butter?
—I ________to, but I forgot about it.
A．meant B．liked
C．wanted D．expected
答案 A [考查动词词义的辨析。mean to do sth打算干某事；而meant to do sth 则表示本来打算干而没有干。答语为省略句，补充完整为I meant to buy some butter，but...。句意：——
你为什么没有买黄油？——我本来打算买的，但我忘了。]
2．Madam Curie，________to scientific research, was________the Nobel Prize twice.
A．devoted herself; awarded
B．devoted; rewarded
C．who devoted ; awarded
D．devoted; awarded
答案 D [分析句子结构可知，第一空应为非谓语形式，devote to (doing)sth常在句子中作状语，其现在分词形式应为devoting sth/oneself to ；第二空考查动词的辨析，reward奖励；给以报酬；award 授予。句意：居里夫人由于献身科学研究而被两次授予诺贝尔奖。]
