21.Two lawyers have donated $50, 000 to ________ our school’s campaign “Help the Needy”,which was started by our former headmaster three years ago.A. sponsorB. launchC. OrganizeD. plan21.A 考查动词辨析。
【解题思路】句意为：两位律师捐赠了5，0000美元赞助我校“帮助贫困生”活动……sponsor 表“发起，主办；资助，赞助”，launch表“发动，发起”，organize表“组织”，plan表“计划”。

23.Walking alone in the dark, the boy whistled to ________ his courage.A. hold upB. keep upC. set upD. take up23. B 考查动词短语辨析。
2012年高考英语试题(湖北卷)解析
湖北卷21. 答案：A解析：句意：两位律师捐出5万美元来赞助我们学校的“救助贫困生”活动，这项活动是由我们的前任校长在三年前发起的。
本题考查动词的辨析：sponsor“赞助”，launch“发射；发起”，organize“组织”，plan“计划”。
sponsor最适合句意；launch有迷惑性，但此处选launch 的话与“我们的前任校长在三年前发起”相矛盾。
22. 答案：C解析：句意：最后，我要感激我的老师，是他为我的论文提出了大量建议和意见，并为之润色。
本题考查动词的辨析：approve“同意；赞成”，quote“引用”，polish“磨光；润色”，fold“折叠”。
为每一页手稿“润色”最合句意。
23. 答案：B解析：句意：一个人走在黑暗中，这个小男孩吹起了口哨好壮胆。
本题考查含有up的短语动词的辨析：hold up“举起；阻挡”，keep up“保持”，set up“建起”，take up“拿起；开始”。
此处易误以为take up courage“鼓起勇气”，但根据句意，此处应为“给自己壮胆；不害怕”，而keep up courage“保持勇气”就可以表示这层含义。
24. 答案：A解析：句意：我非常高兴您能到这里来亲自处理这个问题。
本题考查短语动词的辨析：lead to“通向；导致”，see to“处理；照顾”，turn to“转向；求助于”，refer to“提及；涉及；参考”。
根据句意，此处应为turn to this matter in person“亲自处理此事”。
25. 答案：B解析：句意：这件家具款式时尚、色彩亮丽，非常适合现代的花园楼房；不过，如果放在传统的家庭环境中就不协调了。
本题考查含有out of的短语的辨析：out of question“没问题”，out of order“出故障；混乱；不整齐”，out of sight“在视野外；看不见”，out of place“不在恰当的地方；不合适；不恰当”。
