参考答案
PartⅡ
1
短文大意
本文主要讲述了电视是当今世界上传播广、影响大的传媒,无论长期或短期都对我们的生活起着重要的影响作用。它可以使世界变得更小,也可以使我们的生活丰富多彩。本文特别强调了电视在娱乐圈和商业领域里比在其他领域里得到更加广泛的认可,并就电视在美国和前苏联的运用加以比较和区别。
21.答案C。【参考译文】根据题意电视的使用在哪些方面较容易得到认可【试题分析】本题考查对作者的意图的理解。【详细解答】在本文的第一段里可以找到此答案。Weareallawareofthepopularlyacceptedapplicationsoftelevision,particularlythoserelativetoentertainmentandnewsbroadcasting.由此可见电视最容易在娱乐和新闻方面得到运用。A)在大都市地区。是指观察暴风雨掠过大都市地区,并非指在大都市地区的电视使用。B)在宇宙远处的探索。只是电视在宇宙开发运用的一个方面,并不像在新闻与娱乐方面的运用那样容易得到确认。D)在边远地区。在这里电视的使用更不是那么容易。
22.答案D。【参考译文】在作者看来下面哪种说法是确切的【试题分析】回答作者提出的问题,即对作者的用意的回答。【详细解答】A)电视的使用对大城市有利。B)有人认为电视的使用是很好的活动。C)电视的使用对电视系统而言受到了限制。根据短文第一段最后一句话可以确定D)最好地回答了这个问题:…onemaythuslogicallyponderthetruebenefitsofconfiningmostofourvideoactivitiestothemassentertainmentfield(人们可能逻辑性地认为我们看电视活动的好处都限制在大规模的娱乐活动上面了。)这就间接告诉人们电视的使用确实对娱乐领域有利,因此D)的说法正是作者的观点。
23.答案C。【参考译文】根据短文意思在苏联的电视是……【试题分析】考查学生的比较和分析能力。【详细解答】A)(苏联的电视)局限为年税收的商业活动。B)需要商业资助人的资助。D)急需经济援助。根据短文第二段所述,苏联的电视和美国的相反,是由政府控制和安排的。这种政府行为排除了经济资助人的资助,同时也限制了提供给电视节目的种类。答案C)可在下面句中找到:Whilesucharrangementseliminatetheneedforcommercialsponsorship,italsohasthepossibilityoflimitingthetypeofprogramsavailabletoviewers。由此,A)项是美国的年税收情况,而在苏联并没提到,可以排除。B)和D)两项更容易排除。
2
作者偶而发现了一本陈旧的乡下导游手册,从这本书中悟出了一系列的道理,不论在遥远、偏避的乡村小店,还是在大都市的豪华的超级商场只要服务到家,物美价廉,生意就会兴旺发达,反之就会萧条,逐渐走下坡路。
3
本文主要反映了美国黑人几乎参加了在美国历史上所有战争的作战。他们令人钦佩地至少在五次大战争中服过役。他们在各次战争中伤亡的比例是白人的数十倍,然而,美国人对黑人在美国军事历史上所起的作用却一无所知,在美国的历史书上黑人的荣誉与地位往往被“忽略”掉,从中不难看出美国的种族歧视的历史渊源和根深蒂固。
34.答案D。【参考译文】单词savoring的意思是……【试题分析】本题考察学生的词汇量和辨析能力。【详细解答】A)demanding要求、需要;B)commanding指挥、控制;C)assuring确信、放心;D)enjoy享受…的乐趣、欣赏、喜欢,和savoring意义近似,故可入选。
4
本文以生动诱人的笔调描述了大不列颠海滨的秀丽风光。和大自己数倍的澳大利亚相比,其面积实在太小,但这里却是吸引人们旅游观光,度假休闲的好地方。在这里不仅孩子们可以尽情嬉戏,如垒沙堡,荡船,骑小毛驴,看木偶戏,在微型高尔夫球场上打球等,而且大人们也可以重温幸福的童年。
37.答案D。【参考译文】孩子们喜欢海滨是因为……【试题分析】本题考察学生的推理和总结能力。【详细解答】孩子喜欢去海边是因为:D)那里有各种各样的度假休闲的开心方式;如…ideallyasandyoneprovidingampleopportunityfortheconstructionofsandcastles,fishinginpoolsforstrandedshrimps,paddlinginshallowwaterorswimmingindeep.(孩子们的娱乐还包括观看木偶戏,骑小毛驴,在人工湖里荡船,在微型高尔夫球场打高尔夫球等);故选D)最为恰当。其它三项都不构成孩子们喜欢海滨的主要理由,故不在入选之列。
38.答案A。【参考译文】电影院作为一种娱乐场所在这里却是……【试题分析】考察学生对作者意图的理解。【详细解答】人们光顾电影院只是在没有任何别的更好的娱乐休闲方式的情况下才去那里。A)项选择可在短文的第二段中的最后一句里找到:iftheworstcomestotheworst,thecinematoofferarefuge.(在最糟的情况下,电影院便可以提供“避难”所)。B)、C)和D)都不符合本题题意,故都在排除之列。
PartⅢ
41.答案A。【参考译文】一般来说他非常沉默寡言,但有时说到自己便侃侃而谈。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题,与语法正误无关,主要是考察形容词与系动词搭配是否符合整句的逻辑关系。【详细解答】reserved沉默寡言的。B)serious严肃的;认真的;用在这里,语法是对的,但语义上不能和talksfreelyabouthimself形成反差。C)sociable好交际的;友善的;好交际和侃侃而谈不能形成对照。D)peaceful和平的;安静的;反义词是violent和noisy,也不能和talksfreely形成反差。所以只有A)reserved符合题意。
42.答案B。【参考译文】很明显这些是影响顺利操作的全部因素,但……问题仍待进一步验证。【试题分析】本题主要考察词语搭配和习惯用法。【详细解答】underlying(=fromthebasisofatheory,ofconduct,doctrine,etc)。题意:很明显这些是影响顺利操作的主要因素,但根本问题仍待进一步验证。A)operational操作上的;用于操作的;C)operating操作;运作;D)underneath(=beneath,below)在下面,在底下;A)操作上的,指行为动作,不能用来修饰problem;B)operating动名词,不能和problem搭配也不对;D)在下面,指方位,更不能用来修饰problem,是错误用法。
43.答案B。【参考译文】我们租的公寓到地铁站……【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题,与语法正误无关,主要考察形容词与介词的搭配及在语义用法上的区别。【详细解答】convenient方便;便利。题意:我们租的公寓到地铁站很方便。外出买东西或乘车方不方便,用inconvenient来表示。题中的flat(一套房间、公寓)是作居住或办公用的,到地铁站乘车就有一个方便不方便的问题,而不存在合不合适或喜欢不喜欢的问题,所以A)enjoyable和D)suitable答案都不对。C)near(ornearto)靠近;离…近;near后面不能跟for,故C)也不对。
44.答案C。【参考译文】水容易……成氢和氧。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题,主要考察英语动词短语的搭配和习惯用法。【详细解答】breakinto化分成…。题意:水容易生成氢和氧。A)breakdown指(机器、车辆等)坏了;(计划、谈判等)失败了;(身体)垮了;(谈话、通讯等)中断。B)breakup散(会),驱散(群众等);(中小学)学期结束,散学。D)breakout爆发(战争);突然发生(争吵,疾病等)。
45.答案D。【参考译文】你可以在听课时用快速记笔记的方法来……你的速记能力。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题,考察动词短语的习惯用法。【详细解答】keepup保持;坚持。题意:你可以在听课时用速记记笔记的方法来保持你的速记能力。A)keepin待在家里;忍住(不发脾气);B)keepon继续干;坚持(干);继续(前进);C)keepout挡住,使进不去,不要进来。
47.答案C。【参考译文】我曾在森林的……处散步。【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析题,主要考察在语义上的区别。【详细解答】shade阴凉处;阴暗,黑暗。题意:我在森林的阴凉处漫步。shade指没有阳光照射的阴凉地方。丛林中阳光透不进,比较阴凉,所以选shade。A)shadow是指某一物体投下的影子,界限比较明确,并且有一定的形状,如人在月光下的影子或宝塔在阳光下的影子,故此项选择不适合本题。D)obscurity(=sth.thatisobscureorindistinct)晦涩或不明之事物,e.g.aphilosophicalessayfullofobscurities(充满晦涩文字的哲学论文)。
48.答案D。【参考译文】在这种天气里飞行,飞行员一定是……【试题分析】本题为形近词辨析题。B、C、D形体类似,其意义完全不同。A为混淆项。【详细解答】insane(=mad,senseless)疯狂的;不理智的。题意:在这种天气里飞行,飞行员一定是发疯了。A)clever聪明,明智的;如果飞行员聪明或理智的话就不会在这种恶劣的天气里飞行。B)sensuous感官方面的;感觉上的;在意思上有大的区别,更不适用。C)sane指心理健全的,神态清楚的,和insane意义相反。
49.答案D。【参考译文】积雪融化使河水上涨造成水灾。【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析题。【详细解答】swell:tobecomegreaterinvolume,thickness,orforce(使)增大;增厚;增强;膨胀;肿起。e.g.Woodoftenswellswhenwet.木材浸湿时常膨胀。Theriverwasswollenwithmeltedsnow.河因融雪而涨水。A)expand扩大,扩张,膨胀和contract(收缩)相对,和河水上涨没有联系。B)overgrow蔓延,长满;通常是指植物,如:agardenovergrowwithweeds长满野草的花园。C)increase增加;增多,指数量或程度增加或增多。
50.答案A。【参考译文】我反对挑选我去做这种令人不愉快的工作。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题,主要考察动词短语的用法。【详细解答】beingpickedon。pickon意思是choose(sb.)forapurpose,oftenunpleasant;speaktosb.unpleasantlyortreathimunkindly;为某种目的,常常是令人不愉快的,挑剔(某人);(偏)挑中(某人)进行责骂、批评或叫他干不愉快的事等。B)pickout选出,辨别出;C)pickup拾起,捡起;(跌倒后使自己)爬起;D)pickat找岔;尝一点点。
51.答案D。【参考译文】天空显得亮堂起来了,我想天要变晴了。【试题分析】同上。【详细解答】clearingup(天气)放晴。题意:天空看起来变得比较亮堂了。我认为天气将放晴了。A)clearaway把…清除掉;(云雾)消散。天气变晴只能用clearup;而clearaway(云雾消散)不能和clearup等同,故用法不对,不能入选。B)和C)更不能作为本题答案。
52.答案B。【参考译文】在说别人的坏话之前也要考虑自己的毛病。【试题分析】同上。【详细解答】rundown说别人的坏话。A)runover(车辆等)辗过;溢出;C)runafter追捕;跟踪,D)runinto偶然碰见。run和不同的介词或副词构成不同的短语或习惯用法,含有不同的意义。英语中有许多这样的动词短语,注意它们的习惯用法。
53.答案D。【参考译文】我们没料到会断电,所以当屋里变得一片漆黑时感到很吃惊。【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析题。【详细解答】plunged(into)使投入;使陷入。A)throw投,抛,扔;B)drown淹没,淹死;C)drop落下,滴下
54.答案B。【参考译文】到了一定的年龄要改变固有的习惯是徒劳的。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题,主要考察介词in和不同名词的搭配及用法。
【详细解答】vain徒劳(的)。A)order和in搭配,inorderto(dosth.)作目的状语,为了…;以…为目的;C)silence和in搭配,insilence意思是:沉默地,无声地,介词短语作状语,但其后不跟to不定式。D)defence保卫,防护;e.g.indefenceof。
55.答案C。【参考译文】瑞士以其秀美的山脉自然风光而闻名。【试题分析】本题为近义词辨异题,主要考察这些同义词在不同语言环境中的用法。【详细解答】scenery(自然)风光。scenery是指某地方的总的自然风光,是集体名词,没有复数形式,也没有冠词,适合本题。A)view是作“景色”讲的一般用词,指眼睛看到的景色,尤其指从高处往下看到的景色。B)scene和view近似,但用途较窄,如事故发生的地方;剧中的场景等。D)Nature意思是“大自然”和God一样第一个字母要大写,不用冠词。Nature强调大自然的威力(natureforce)而不强调具体的自然景象。
57.答案B。【参考译文】一长串车辆等候在交道口直到火车开过去。【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析题。【详细解答】levelcrossing交道口(铁路与公路相交的地方)。A)crossroad十字路口,指两条路相交的地方;C)bridge桥梁,是另一个概念,不在考虑之列;D)junction(铁路的)联轨处;交叉点;不合题意。
58.答案B。【参考译文】若做好必要的防备措施,到南极旅行是相当安全的。【试题分析】本题为形近词用法辨析题。A、B形态近似,但语义不同。C、D形体近似,但搭配不同,其意义也不同。【详细解答】reasonably(=rather)相当地。A)withinreason在情理中;C)indoubt感到怀疑;拿不准;这两项均不合题意。D)doubt作名词,不能用在本题。
59.答案A。【参考译文】安德森一家还没到,我怀疑他们现在是否会到。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题。主要考察短语的搭配及用法。【详细解答】turnedup(=toarriveorbefound,oftenunexpectedly)到达或被发现,往往带有偶然性。B)turnin转身进入;拐入;B)和C)都不是本题要求,不能入选。D)comein进入(某一个地方);走进去。人在现场才能进入房间或某一地方;如果人不在现场就不存在进不进来的问题。
60.答案C。【参考译文】当我征求她的意见时,她沉思了一下,然后告诉我她不去了。【试题分析】本题为难词辨析题,主要考察ponder一词的用法。【详细解答】pondered沉思;考虑。A)answer回答;答应。其用法是1)跟名词或代词,e.g.Icannotansweryounow.(我现在不能回答你。)answer不能和名词matter搭配;2)可用于引申意义,表示“回(信),答(卷),对付”等:e.g.Youmustanswerhisletter.(你必须给他回信。)B)explain解释;说明。根据题意,explain用在此处不合适,因为在征求某人意见时,他(她)没有必要对某件事情进行解释,在思考成熟之后,告诉询问人自己的看法。D)wander漫步,漫游,指行为动作,和本题题意相差太远。
61.答案D。【参考译文】他儿子期待开办一个商店。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题,主要考察语义上的用法。【详细解答】setup(=causetostartinbusinessorinsomeotheractivity)开办;创立;建立。题意:他儿子期待开一个商店。A)reside居住;B)construct建造;constructareservoir建造一座水库;创立(学说等)。C)eliminate除去,删去。同义词有:banish,abolish,eradicate,erase,exterminate,getridof,doawaywith。根据题意A)、B)和C)均不合适。
62.答案D。【参考译文】俱乐部会员投票决定取消吸烟禁令。【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析搭配题,主要考察语义上的区别。
【词义辨析】abolish取消;删去;除去。A)refrain和from搭配,refrainfrom(doingsth.)忍住;抑制;戒除;B)inquire询问;打听;C)recess休息;休假。A)、B)和C)的词义和D)大不相同,都不适用。
63.答案A。【参考译文】你父母对你的工作称赞过吗【试题分析】本题为形近词用法辨析,主要考察形同词义不同的辨别能力。
64.答案A。【参考译文】那天上午十点半探险队登上了顶峰。【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析,主要考察在语义上的用法。
【词义辨析】[FK)]summit顶上;最高层。B)maintrail主要轨迹,痕迹;C)startingpoint出发点,出发点也就是始发点,登上山顶是到目的地,是终点,而不是出发点,故不合适。D)site(工地)地点;场所,虽然可以和动词reach搭配,但逻辑上不成立;因为探险队不会到工地上去探险。
67.答案C。【参考译文】星期五之前你一定报名参加这次考试,所以要尽快把钱带到办公室来。【试题分析】本题近义词辨析题。在语法上无正误关系,但在语义和逻辑上有较大区别。【详细解答】enterfor报名参加(比赛或考试等)。参加考试的表达有:taketheexamination或sitfortheexamination。A)pass及格,过关,passtheexamination是考试及格的意思,所以A)、B)和D)均不是正确答案。
68.答案D。【参考译文】发言人说大多数人都认为政府的经济政策是成功的。【试题分析】本题为词义搭配辨析题,主要考察动词和副词的搭配及用法。【详细解答】lookon(=regardas)。A)lookout朝外看;察看,慎重考虑;B)lookup向上看;尊敬;仰望;C)lookahead(=totrytoseealongwayinfrontofone)尽量向(某人的)前方看。look和介词或副词构成动词短语,有不同的意义和用法。lookon除了有regardas的意义之外,还有towatchinsteadofdoingsth.(袖手旁观)之意。
69.答案C。【参考译文】人们觉得他缺乏那种把所承担的困难任务进行到底的精神。【试题分析】本题为形近词用法辨析题,A和C为一类,B和D为一类。【详细解答】commitment承担的责任和义务;承诺(复数)。A)engagement约束;保证;约会;约定。在事先约定做某事,或有约在先,可用此词。e.g.Hehasaspeakingengagementfornextweek.(有人约他下星期去做报告。)用在本题不当。B)persuasion说服;说服的话;主张;见解。persuasion从persuade派生出来,意思是劝说(说服)某人做某事;e.g.themethodofpersuasionandeducation(说服教育的方法)。D)preservation保存;保管,用于对某些物品的储藏或保管,也不合题义。
70.答案D。【参考译文】轮胎爆破后,杰克在驾驶班所学的规程使他渡过了难关。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题,主要考察动词和副词的搭配及用法。【详细解答】carry…through(=tosavebysupportingsb.duringtroubletime)使(某人)渡过(困难、危险等)。A)carryaway运走;拿走或搬走。B)carryforward发扬;发展;e.g.Theycarryforwardthetraditionsofthepast.(他们发扬以往的传统。)C)carryoff夺走;抢走。根据题意,D)是正确答案。
PartⅣ
71.【参考答案】as后加上a。【详细解答】某一家庭、某一组织或某一群体的成员之一,应该是asamemberof…或者asonememberof…,这里应该加上一个不定冠词a。
72.【参考答案】able改为capable。【详细解答】(be)ableto(dosth.)相当于candosth.能够做某事,表示能力;ableto后跟to不定式,capable跟介词of+名词或动名词表示“有…本领”。
73.【参考答案】it改为them。【详细解答】them代表groups(复数形式)。如果group是单数,agroup,用it来代它,那就对了。
74.【参考答案】everything改为anything。【详细解答】注意everything和anything的用法区别。everything的意思是“每件事;事事”,一般用在肯定句中。anything的意思是“什么事(物)”;“任何事(物)”,常用于疑问句、否定句、条件从句中,或与含有疑问、否定意义的词连用。…iscapableofanythingexceptintelligentactionandrealisticthinking.意思是“它(crowd)任何事情都行就是没有明智的行动和现实的思想”。
75.【参考答案】Assembling改为Assembled。【详细解答】assembling现在分词作状语,常常表示正在进行着的动作,叫做伴随状态(attendingcircumstances),说明动作正在发生。e.g.Laughingandsingingtheycameintotheclassroom.他们说着笑着走进了教室。Laughing和singing的动作和动词谓语的动作几乎同时发生。assembled是过去分词,表示状态,含有被动意味。Assembledinacrowd…相当于一个状语从句:Whentheyareassembledinacrowd,…因此,必须将Assembling改为Assembled。
76.【参考答案】chose改为choice。【详细解答】这是一个名词误用的问题,只要认真观察,就不难发现问题。
77.【参考答案】that改为where。【详细解答】把that改为where是因为that在这里起什么作用不明确。它既不是关系代词代替前面的point引导句子,也不是作tohave的宾语(tohave的宾语是anyjudgement)。where是关系副词,引导一个定语从句修饰point。
78.【参考答案】for改为to。【详细解答】这是习惯用法问题。tobesubjectto易受…的;常遭…的,所以要把for改为to。
79.【参考答案】behave改为behaves。【详细解答】这是一个最普遍的动词时态用法问题。只要细心检查,就不难发现错误。
80.【参考答案】does改为dose。【详细解答】这是一个相形字区别的问题,记单词不仅记其意,而且要记其形。
