9、;具有;流行);come on( 快點;開始;要求;上演;);語義搭配不通順,故選擇run on搭配;3. 你在沒有電話或指南針的情況下迷路,.找不到北方,我們有一些技巧可以幫助你導 代入后,不符合語義表達;4.【D】literally詞義辨析題;空格處所在句為“假如你在沒有電話或指literallyrelatively(相對地);gradually(逐漸地)不符合語義表達;5.詞義辨析題;出題處的語義表達“我們有一些技巧可以幫助你導航.文明”,只有back 與前文的lost(迷路)形成相互呼應(yīng),故而選擇back;6. 但不是完全.的的水源?”因此,根據(jù)句意表達,off(遠離, 離開)符合句意
10、;其它選項:onto(在之off;7.【D】unfamiliar 詞義辨析題;根據(jù)出題處的語義表達,“為當你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己.路徑。 更符合要求;其他選項:unattractive (不吸引人的);uncrowded(不利擠的,寬敞的);C選項unchanged(未改變的,無變化的);不符合語義表達;8. 【C】way詞義辨析題;根據(jù)出題處的語境表述“你需要回答兩個問題:在way符合要(地方;住所;座位),不符合句意表達;9.邏輯關(guān)系題;出題句指出“生活在山谷里的人,基本上需要淡水 instead(反而,替代);besides(此外,而且);不符合句義要求;10. 你會發(fā)現(xiàn)人類的蹤跡.”,只有even
11、tually(最后,終于)符合題目要求,語義通順;其它選項:immediately (立即,立刻);intentionally(故意地,有意地);unexpectedly(出乎意料地);不符合語義表達,故排除;11. 詞義辨析題;出題句提及“如果你之前去過這個地方,一定要注意熟悉景象,你或許會.快速識別出一塊特征明顯的石頭或者樹木來喚surprised彩,故不符合;12. 【B】option詞義辨析題;本文第一段中提到“如果你在沒有電話或指南文明社會”,此處考查的地方就是前文提及的“另一個.:登到高處尋找有人類居住的標志”;只有option(選擇)符合句義及情感色彩要求;13. 【D】Fore
12、xample邏輯關(guān)系題;出題句前后構(gòu)抽象到具體的例證關(guān)系(前l(fā)ookforsigns形成抽象到具體的過程),故選擇For example;14. 此處需填入的動詞和look for 語義相近,故選擇spot(發(fā)現(xiàn)),符合語義表達;其他選項:bridge(架橋,渡過);avoid(避開,消除);separate(分開);不符合語義要求;15. carve與woods為穿過森林開鑿出的公路,故B選項through為正確答案。16. 【D】breaks語義辨析題;本題為語義題,根據(jù)上一句信息,因為人為原因而造成的gaps in the tree 能找到出去的路,故D選項breaks為正確答案。17.
13、 【A】artificial詞義辨析題及邏輯關(guān)系題;因題干中such as表示舉例關(guān)系,故我們首先根據(jù)例子信息可以判斷文中fires and streetlights可以確定火與街燈的共同特征是人造光源,故本題A選項artificial為正確答案。18. 語義題;文章后面指出假設(shè)你在人類常去的地方迷路,尋找我們在地面上留下的,因前文已經(jīng)舉例說明了幾種情況,如當你在一個并非完全不熟悉的環(huán)境中迷路,可知此處應(yīng)是最后一種假設(shè)情況,故本題A選項finally為正確答案。19. 【B】mark詞義辨析題;根據(jù)常識,在人類常去的地方,地面上必定有很多標志,故尋找我們在地面上留下的標志,在此處更符合文意,故
14、本題B選項marks為正確答案。20. 【C】lead詞義辨析題;道路上的樹皮刻痕、輪胎印和其他特征能夠指引你去有人煙的地方,此外,本題處的單詞應(yīng)該與前文中的navigate同義,故本題C選項lead為正確答案。Section Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

26、 a Corporate VirtueC. Decisiveness Required of Top ExecutivesD. Frustration of Risk-taking Bankers21-25參考答案及解析:21.【A】enhance bankers sense of 題段落(AccordingtoParagraph1)及相應(yīng)的信息點(onemotiveinimposingthenewrule),因此,答案來源句則為第一段的第三句(Themainpurposeofthis “clawback” rule is to hold bankers accountable for har
27、mfulrisk-taking and to restore public trust in financial institution這個么答案基本就很容易提取出來。選項中的“sense of responsibility”則對應(yīng)bankerssenseof而其他的選項則與最佳選項無緣,在定位區(qū)間中沒有相應(yīng)的對應(yīng)信息。22.【D】 short-termismineconomicactivities;細節(jié)題。題干中的定位quotesagiantof classical economies, Alfred Marshall, in describing this financialimpatie
28、nce as financial 以最佳選項則為short-termismineconomicactivities,而其他選項在定位信息中未提及; investors,whodemandhighquarterlyprofitsfromcompanies,canhinderaeffortstoinvestinlong-termresearch or to build up customer loyalty”,從四個選項的褒貶正負來看indirect、minimal 和temporary為中性的表述,只有B選項的adverse為明24.【C】the approaches to promoting
29、long-termism ;例證題。根據(jù)題干更大的選票權(quán)。所以,最佳選項應(yīng)為“促進長期主義的方法”,與原文一致;25.【B】Patience as a Corporate title為標題題的信息,所以此題考查的是文章的主旨大意;B選項里的patience可以對應(yīng)到全文中反復出現(xiàn)的主題詞“short-termism”和“l(fā)ong-termism”,corporate本身在文章中出現(xiàn)多次,所以B 選項則為最近標題,體現(xiàn)主旨大意;其余選項均不能概括全文,故排除。Text 2Grade inflation-the gradual increase in average GPAs(grade-poin

The author examines the practice of grade forgiveness by_.A. assessing its feasibilityB. analyzing the causes behind itC. comparing different views on itD. listing its long-run effects26-30參考答案及解析:26.【D】The influence of consumer culture;細節(jié)題。
41、根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞grade inflation 可以定位到首段第一句話,此句話的句子主干:“Gradeinflation is often considered a product of a consumer era in highereducation.” 題干中的be regarded as對應(yīng)原文中的is 的the cause of(后邊接結(jié)果)與原文中的a product of (前邊接結(jié)果)都D中consumer因此答案選擇D。27.【A】To help freshmen adapt to college gradeforgiveness具體是什么,并沒有提及它的目的,然后接下看第
42、三段的首句,出現(xiàn)了thislittle-known practice指的就是grade forgiveness。而且題干中的theoriginal purpose對應(yīng)原文中的在第三段第二句話: “When this practicefirst started decades ago, it was usually limited to freshmen, to givethemasecondchancetotakeaclassintheirfirstyeariftheystruggledin their transition to college-level A中的freshmen是原詞復現(xiàn),
43、help是對應(yīng)原文中的give them a second chance,adapt to對應(yīng)原文中的struggled in their transition to,college learning對應(yīng)原文中的college-level courses。因此答案為A。morefinancialparagraph5、grade forgiveness和colleges可以定位到第五段的第一句,即gradeforgiveness能夠滿足學生的需求,但是對應(yīng)選項并沒有對應(yīng)的答案,所以接著錢。選項A中的financial support指的就是state funds。因此答案為A。29.【C】to
44、be identical with each other;猜詞題。根據(jù)題干,可以定位到this,students andcolleges incentivesseemto be this指代的內(nèi)容。This指代的是前一出學生和學校的目標是一致的,選項C中的beidenticalwith表示的是與相同,因此答案為C。30.【B】analyzing the causes behind 通過什么樣的方式來檢驗gradeforgiveness旨,屬于主旨題。閱讀每段的段落大意句,可以得出文章主要講解的是gradeforgiveness的原因。因此答案為B。Text 3This year marks e

57、hellys novel Frankenstein及題文同序原則可定位至文章第一段,在該段尾句,fiction that would foreshadow many ethical questions to be raised bytechnologies yet to come. 此句中 ethical questions 可同義替換題干中的concern。故C為正選。32.【D】is too limited for us to reproduce it;觀點細節(jié)題??赏ㄟ^關(guān)鍵詞consciousness 回文定位至原文第2段尾句部分:we are just in asituationwhe
