PartIIReadingComprehension
PassageOne
21.D)由第一段的前两句综合所有的细节。
22.B)见第一段的第四句。
23.C)本题考察利用上下文理解生词的能力。单词myograph所在的第二段说,这种仪
器makevisiblethroughelectricalsignalstheworkdonebyhumanmuscle,与C)基本是同样的
意思。
24.A)由第三段的第一句中的“…anewdesign”可知,第二句中提到的atripodladder
是anewdesign,相比之下,四条腿的梯子就是anolddesign了,也就是说,过去的stepladder
是四条腿的。
25.D)本题考察寻找细节。线索位于倒数第二段的第二句话。句子中的“er’
sfirstthought”对应于题干中的initially,后面的句子都是说明为了舒适;本题的另一线索是
最后一段的第一句,Efficiencyistheby-productofcomfort,由此可知,er最初关心
的是comfort。
PassageTwo
26.D)本题主要由第一段的内容推理出来,同时兼用排除法。由第二段的前两句话,
可知计算机犯罪并非不能查出来,所以A)、C)不对;由第一段的第二句中“forhisown
purposes”可以排除B)。
27.D)第三段主要讲的是我们还不知道有多少计算机犯罪未被发现,第二、三两句说
那些被发现了的都是偶然的,是他们的运气不好,显然,没被发现的要比已被发现的数量要
多得多。
28.B)本题表面要求寻找细节,但实际仍是一道推断题,考察考生对最后两段的理解。
为什么计算机犯罪会逃脱惩罚呢?最后一段的前两句说得很明白,是因为公司的经理们害怕
thebadpublicity,即是badreputation之意,所以他们会在揭示计算机犯罪时而犹豫。
29.B)文章有三处都提到了这个问题的答案,它们分别是第一段的最后一句、第二段的
第二句、第四段。最直接的线索是第二段的第二句。
30.D)这是一道难度较大的主旨题。答案A)和D)很相似,文章的很多地方也都讲的是
computercriminalsescapepunishment,但这是表面的,正是因为他们容易逃脱惩罚,所以文
章最后一句说他们可以到一个新地方继续从事犯罪活动,其结果自然是计算机犯罪消除不了,
因此本题选项D)更佳。
PassageThree
31.A)本题考察对文章主题的理解。文章的最后一段的后半句是本文的主题句,它明
确说theidealofequalrightsandequalresponsibilitiesispertinent(相关的,切题的)not
onlytoahealthydemocracy,butalsotoahealthyfamily,此处的pertinent与题干中的
fundamental在此处的意思是一样的。
32.A)本题较难,表面是个细节题,但实际是推断题。有两处线索:第一处是第二段
的第一句话,该句承接第一段中谈论的sharinghousehold,指出如果过分了的话,就会导致
男人被认为较不重要,即是选项A)的意思。第二处线索是第三段的倒数第二句话中“…
thathedoeshaveaplaceinit”。
33.D)线索见第三段的第二句话Whatweneed,rather,istherecognitionthatbringingup
childreninvolvesapartnershipofequals.
34.C)本题的线索同31题。
35.A)本题除了用排除法做以外,仍然考的是主题句。最后一句中的ahealthy
democracy是从社会的角度来讲的。
PassageFour
36.C)本题的线索是第一段的第二句话,其中的relyingoneducators与题干中的counting
oneducators完全是同样的意思。
37.A)作者先在第一段的最后一句说“look-say”或“whole-word”的阅读教学方法是
失败的,第二段分析了这种方法失败的原因,是因为它“stressesthemeaningofwordsover
themeaningofletters,thinkingoverdecoding…”
38.D)文章在最后一段谈到了phonicsmethod的特点和好处,本题线索见该段的第二句
话“Ratherthanbuildinguparelativelylimitedvocabularyofmemorizedwords,itimpartsa
codebywhichthepronunciationsofthevastmajorityofthemostcommonwordsintheEnglish
languagecanbelearned”,可见这种方法能使学习者获得更大的词汇量。
39.B)本题要求利用上下文猜测单词的意思。根据第二段的最后一句,在1963年以前,
出版的东西都是教授使用whole-word的方法的,紧接着用了转折词however,说在1955年,
RudolfFlesch“touchedoff”一场争论,因此此处的touchoff必然是“引起”的意思。
40.C)本题要求有较好的综合能力才能做得既快又准。从第二段中综合出whole-word
阅读方法的特点:强调单词的意思、没有decoding;由此即可知B)、D)是错的;在文章的
最后一句话,作者指出Phonicsdoesnotdevaluetheimportanceofthinkingaboutthemeaning
ofwordsandsentences,所以A)也是不对的。
PartIVVocabularyandStructure
41.B)空格及其后的内容作word的同位语,表示经理所说的话的内容。
42.D)本题主要是A)和D)的辨析,beableto与can的主要区别在于前者表示客观的
能力,后者主观更多色彩更浓。本题根据时态及全句的内容,看出这是个客观的事实,因此
应选D)。
43.A)此处是由that引导的宾语从句。
44.B)分词的独立主格结构,window与overlook的关系是主动的,故要用现在分词。
45.C)倒装。状语onnoaccount中含有否定词,故要用倒装。
46.A)less与little才是递进的关系。
47.C)在deny之后要用动名词。
48.B)在tellyou的后面是一个宾语从句,而在这个宾语从句中用的是虚拟语气,看清
这一点后,再看看if状语从句中的时态就能做出正确答案了。
49.D)首先,我们知道结果是要“被公布”的,所以动词部分必须用被动语态,去掉
A)、B)。再由句子的意思判断,结果本来要被公布的,但是我们没有听到什么消息,隐指
消息未被公布,所以这是个虚拟的。
50.A)这是一个固定句型。由make…possible变化而来。
51.A)如果知道morethan的特殊用法,本题即可顺利做答。解答本题的另一个方法是
看句子成份,要填的空中是作be的表语,根据常识,副词是不能用作表语的,所以B)、C)、
D)可被自然排除。
52.D)provided是一个特殊的连词,相当于if,可引导状语从句。
53.A)therebe句型的变化。如果对其它的选项有疑问的话,可分析一下句子的成份。
54.B)带介词的定语从句。农民盖房子的目的是要用房子来盛粮食,也就是说,要把粮
食放在房子中,所以选B)。
55.B)省略了主语和系动词的分词状语结构。
56.D)themore…themore句型。在这个句型中,themore不是死的,只是表示一个
比较级。
57.C)fallthrough的意思是“失败、破产”。fallout争吵,吵架,闹翻,结果是,离队;fall
off下降,跌落,减少,衰退,离开;落在...的后面,拖欠。
58.C)leaveoff相当于stop。leaveout省去,遗漏,不考虑;leavefor动身去某地;leave
behind将……落下
59.D)pluckup振作,拔起。holdup举起,支撑,继续下去,阻挡,拦截;setup设立,
竖立,架起,升起,装配,创(纪录),提出,开业;holdup举起,支撑,继续下去,阻挡,拦截
60.A)setaside.留出,不顾,取消,驳回;setup设立,竖立,架起,升起,装配,创(纪
录),提出,开业;setalong无此短语;setin开始,到来,上涨,插入,嵌入。
61.B)writeoff注销,勾销,取消;layoff解雇,停止工作,休息,划出;turnoff关掉,
避开,使转变方向,生产,制造,用车床加工出,使厌烦,变成;putoff推迟,拖延,搪塞,
使分心,使厌恶,扔掉,脱掉,劝阻。
62.D)enclose指邮寄信件时附上其它东西。
63.D)选项中只有range能被wide修饰。
64.B)status指身份,地位,情形,状况;sate指状态;statue则是雕象。
65.A)tosaynothingof是一个固定短语,意思是“更不用说……了”。本题不要做成词
义辨析题。66.C)本题同样没有必要辨析四个选项的意思,只要知道“电击”是electric
shock就够了。
67.B)表示人的量词用group。
68.D)常用radical修饰change,表示根本的的变化。
69.C)表示向某人致意用regard。
70.A)此处应选“目的”一词。C)表示具体的目标,不通。
PartIVCloze
71.D)well是副词,good是形容词,所以A)不可。与后面相比较的doesn’tworkat
all相关的是,此处B)、C)形成不了关联。
72.A)此句的意思是你一直进行尝试,直到找到适合自己的学习方法。因而此处的连
词要表达“直到”的意思。73.B)线索是空格后的else,两个词连起来表示“(除了你自
己),别的任何人都不能……”。
74.D)work常用于抽象的意义,表示起作用的意思。请参照第一句中的动词。
75.A)get(fall,be)behind等都表示落后的意思,根据上下文,显然是说,我们在学习
上是不要落后。
76.C)此处要求填一个形容词,A)可排除。又根据上下文,可以理解出这句话的意思
应该是:学习这个困难,一开始的时候是非常难的,而当你想在一周内完成三周的事情时则
变得几乎是不可能的。这时谈的是难度的问题,因此选其它的答案是不合适的。如果直接解
此题有困难,可以先做后面的题。
77.C)根据从句中的意思来判断本题的答案。不管78选哪个答案,我们都知道是要在
一周内做三周的事,毫无疑问,应当说这是几乎不可能的。
78.C)表面考的是所有格的用法,实际上考的是名词的数。三周肯定是复数,week必
须是复数形式;work是不可数名词。答案就一目了然了。
79.A)本题考查的是篇章词汇。解题也有两种方法。第一种方法从篇章的角度着手,
承接上面一段,说的是学习的困难,在这里显然是说“即使”是读得最快的人也有困难,
选A)顺理成章。第二种方法从句法着手。这是一个简单句,显然不能填连词和介词,C)、D)
明显错误。单就本句来说,选almost也是不能的。
80.B)havetroubling后要求接动名词。
81.A)turnin的意思是“交上去,上交”,其它的选项是:turnup出现,turnout出
来;结果是,givenin让步。
82.D)此处表示“过晚”之意,用too。
83.C)还记得常说的not…atall吗?
84.D)这一句及其下一句是说因为你在别的科花的时间太多而在另一科落后,前者不
是后者的理由。所以此处要选表示“借口、理由”意思的词,即是excuse。
85.A)表示笼统的“有用”的动词是help。
86.A)attheexpenseof的意思是“以……为代价”。
87.A)注意后面的介词to,所以这是一个固定搭配。
88.B)想一想“Whatisthereasonthat…”这个句型吧。
89.C)前面所说的明显是一种诱惑,所以要选temptation。
90.C)前面说的是上什么什么课的事,所以选class。
