2、非此即彼；二者擇一地；作為一種選擇”；C選項(xiàng)alternate“交替的，輪流的；間隔的”；D選項(xiàng)alternately“交替地；輪流地；隔一個(gè)地”。根據(jù)空格位置可以判斷出此處需要填入一個(gè)副詞修飾句子，排除A選項(xiàng)和C選項(xiàng)。句意：這可能是由于天氣，也可能是消化不良的結(jié)果。本句表示“在消化不良和天氣這兩個(gè)原因中選一個(gè)”，因此B選項(xiàng)正確。2.翻譯題Translate the following part into Chinese.What makes a home? Love and comfort. It is a place where kindly affections exist among

3、all the members of the family.A home without love is no more a home than a body without a soul is a man. Your home may be poor and humble, but it is the place you have the duty to try to make it cheerful and comfortable. A home is more than a family dwelling. It is also a school in which people are

4、trained for citizenship. It is the basis and origin of civilization.【答案】組成家庭的因素是什么？愛和安慰。家是一個(gè)所有家庭成員凝結(jié)愛的地方。一個(gè)沒有愛的家庭稱不上是家，就像沒有靈魂的軀體不再是人一樣。你的家可能貧窮而簡陋，但你有職責(zé)努力讓它變得愉快和舒適。家不僅僅是一個(gè)供人居住的地方，它也是一個(gè)培養(yǎng)人們成為公民的場所，是文明的基礎(chǔ)和起源。3.單選題Applied science is（ ）discovering ways to use the knowledge of theoretical science.問題1選項(xiàng)A.c

5、oncerned aboutB.combined withC.concerned forD.concerned with【答案】D【解析】考查詞組辨析。be concerned about “擔(dān)心，關(guān)心”；be combined with “與聯(lián)合”；be concerned for “為擔(dān)憂”；be concerned with “涉及，參與，關(guān)心”。根據(jù)后面“探究理論科學(xué)知識(shí)的運(yùn)用方法”可知是 applied science “應(yīng)用科學(xué)”涉及到的具體內(nèi)容，因此選項(xiàng)D符合題意。4.單選題Hydrogen and oxygen are present in water in the（ ）of

6、1 to 8 by weight.問題1選項(xiàng)A.rateB.proportionC.ratioD.scale【答案】C【解析】考查近義詞辨析。rate，proportion，ratio，scale都有“比例”的意思，rate指比率，比值等，強(qiáng)調(diào)部分相對(duì)整體形成的比率；proportion指比例關(guān)系，在使用時(shí)通常不出現(xiàn)具體的比值；ratio指兩個(gè)量之間的比值，通常相關(guān)的兩個(gè)量必須在上下文中直接出現(xiàn)；scale指比例尺。句意：氫氣和氧氣在水中以1比8的重量比存在。本句表示氫氣和氧氣兩個(gè)量之間的比值。因此C選項(xiàng)正確。5.翻譯題Translate the following part into Eng

7、lish.北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)弘揚(yáng)了團(tuán)結(jié)、友誼、和平的奧林匹克精神，成為世界各國人民共同見證的文化交流的盛會(huì)。北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)的成功，是中國人民和世界各國人民共同努力的結(jié)果。 榮譽(yù)屬于國際奧林匹克大家庭，屬于在比賽場上奮勇爭先的運(yùn)動(dòng)員，屬于來自世界各地的自愿者。北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)的舉辦，將更加有力地促進(jìn)中國體育事業(yè)向前發(fā)展，將更加廣泛地促進(jìn)中國同國際奧林匹克大家庭的交流合作，將更加深入地促進(jìn)中國人民同世界各國人民的相互了解和友誼。【答案】The Beijing Olympic Games has promoted the Olympic spirit of solidarity, friendship and pea

8、ce. It has become a grand even of cultural exchanges witnessed by people of the whole world.

11、ulnerabilityB.irrationalityC.ambiguityD.simplicity【答案】A【解析】考查名詞辨析。A選項(xiàng)invulnerability“刀槍不入，不會(huì)受傷害”；B選項(xiàng)irrationality“不合理，無理性”；C選項(xiàng)ambiguity“含糊，不明確”；D選項(xiàng)simplicity“樸素，簡易”。句意：四輪汽車的廣告給觀眾一種無堅(jiān)不摧的感覺，不管天氣如何，不管下多大的雪，不管泥石流有多嚴(yán)重，都可以開著四輪汽車出門。本句表示四輪汽車不會(huì)受到傷害。因此A選項(xiàng)正確。7.單選題Could you possibly（ ）me at the next committee m

13、ges back to Earth, the scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory could not suppress a certain nervous anticipation, like people who hold a ticket to a lottery they have a one-in-a-million chance of winning. The first photographs that arrived, however, did not contain any evidence of life. What rev

14、ealed itself to them was merely a barren landscape littered with rocks. The view resembled nothing so much as a flat section of desert in fact, the winning entry in a contest at J. P. L. for the photograph most accurately predicting what Mars would look like as a snapshot taken in a particularly ari

The twin Viking landers carried three experiments designed to detect current biological activity and one to detect organic compounds, because researchers thought it possible tha

17、orms were active in the soil. The results from all three experiments were inconclusive. The fourth experiment heated a soil sample to look for sign of organic material but found none, an unexpected result because at least organic compounds from the steady bombardment of the Martian surface by meteor

18、ites （限星）were thought to have been present.The absence of organic material, some scientists speculated, was the result of intense ultraviolet radiation penetrating the atmosphere which was at one time rich in carbon dioxide and thus thick enough to protect its surface from the harmful ray of the Sun

19、, the carbon dioxide had gradually left the atmosphere and been converted into rocks. This means that even if life had gotten a start on early Mars, it could not have survived the exposure to ultraviolet radiation when the atmosphere thinned. Mars never developed a protective layer of ozone as Earth

20、 did.Despite the disappointed Viking results, there are those who still keep open the possibility of life on Mars. They point out that the Viking data cannot be considered the final word on Martian life because the two landers only sampled two limited and uninteresting sites. The Viking landing site

21、s were not chosen for what they might tell of the planets biology. They were chosen primarily because they appeared to be safe of landing a spacecraft. The landing sites were on part of the Martian plains that appeared relatively featureless from orbital photography.The type of Martian terrain that

30、文章的主要目的是什么？”文章第一段提到科學(xué)家們通過圖像并沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)火星上可見的生命，接下來講述了科學(xué)家們通過火星土樣也沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)火星上有微生物存在，然后推測原因，最后一段提到如果火星最后被證明沒有生命存在可能帶來的影響，由此可知本文主要是講述了科學(xué)家們努力確定火星上有無生命，因此選項(xiàng)D符合題意。2.細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。題目問的是“作者使用四個(gè)火星實(shí)驗(yàn)得來的證據(jù)是為了”。文章第二段提到“因?yàn)檠芯咳藛T認(rèn)為有可能早期火星上的生命就想地球上的生命一樣”（because researchers thought it possible that life had developed on early Mars jus

31、t as it is thought to have developed on Earth），但是在火星土樣中沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)任何跡象（The fourth experiment heated a soil sample to look for sign of organic material but found none），因此選項(xiàng)B“火星上有生命這一理論沒有得到實(shí)驗(yàn)的證實(shí)”符合題意。3.細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。題目問的是“作者認(rèn)為火星和地球之間的重要區(qū)別在于不像地球,火星”。文章第三段提到“是強(qiáng)烈的紫外線輻射穿透大氣層的結(jié)果”(was the result of intense ultraviolet rad

32、iation penetrating the atmosphere)，最后一句提到“火星沒有像地球那樣形成一層保護(hù)臭氧層”(Mars never developed a protective layer of ozone as Earth did)。選項(xiàng)C“在紫外線輻射的有害射線路徑上”符合題意。4.細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。題目問的是“在第五段中，研究者認(rèn)為火星巖石上有生命的觀點(diǎn)是依靠”。文章第五段提到“基于該發(fā)現(xiàn)的論證是如果有生命存在于早期的火星上，那么這些生命就可能通過尋找比南極干谷更干燥的環(huán)境來維持生命形式”（The argument based on this discovery is that

33、if life did exist on early Mars, it is possible that it escaped worsening condition by similarly seeking too dry, even compared with Antarctic valleys, to sustain any life whatsoever），選項(xiàng)C“生命體在類似環(huán)境中可能采取同樣的生存策略”符合題意。9.單選題I was very pleased（ ）the room you provided（ ）me.問題1選項(xiàng)A./, toB./, forC.with, toD.w

34、ith, for【答案】D【解析】考查固定搭配。be pleased with“對(duì)感到滿意”；provide sth. for sb.“向某人提供某物”。句意：我對(duì)你為我提供的房間非常滿意。因此D選項(xiàng)正確。10.翻譯題Translate the following part into Chinese.Friendship is both a source of pleasure and component of good health.

Conversely, in times of trouble and tension, when our spirits are low, unburdening our worries and fears to compassionate friend allevi

36、ates the stress. Moreover, we may even get some practical suggestions for solving a particular problem.【答案】友誼既是快樂的源泉又是健康的要素。有好友的人們總是喜歡友人的陪伴。同樣重要的是，人們能夠從友誼那里獲得實(shí)實(shí)在在的情感方面的益處。當(dāng)有好事發(fā)生的時(shí)候，與朋友分享這份快樂會(huì)使你的快樂加倍。相反地，當(dāng)我們身處麻煩和壓力當(dāng)中，情緒低落的時(shí)候，向朋友傾訴憂慮和恐懼會(huì)減輕你的壓力。而且，我們甚至還可以從朋友那里獲得實(shí)用的建議來解決特定的問題。11.單選題- “Doesnt your wife r

37、estrain you from smoking?” - “I（ ）from smoking ever since our marriage.” 問題1選項(xiàng)A.restrainedB.have restrainedC.refrainedD.have refrained【答案】D【解析】考查時(shí)態(tài)。由關(guān)鍵詞since our marriage可知戒煙這件事從過去發(fā)生一直延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在，排除A, C選項(xiàng)；Refrain為不及物動(dòng)詞，后面要加上from，構(gòu)成固定搭配refrain from（不再做某事），因此D選項(xiàng)正確。12.單選題The walkers in front crossed the ledg

38、e easily, seemingly（ ）of the fact that there was a 3000-foot drop on either side.問題1選項(xiàng)A.pretentiousB.remindfulC.attentiveD.oblivious【答案】D【解析】考查形容詞詞義辨析。pretentious “炫耀的，做作的”; remindful “提醒的，留意的”；attentive “注意的，體貼的”； oblivious “遺忘的；不注意的”。前半句的句意是：前面的人輕松地跨過了巖架，與后文“巖架兩側(cè)深達(dá)3000英尺”形成對(duì)比，可推測空格處是要表達(dá)“好像沒有注意到”，選

39、項(xiàng)D符合題意。13.單選題The property-rich but credit-starved homeowners are easy targets for second-mortgage companies, whose salespeople use phone directories or（ ）door-to-door in targeted zip codes.問題1選項(xiàng)A.fickleB.canvassC.boonD.deride【答案】B【解析】考查形容詞和動(dòng)詞辨析。A選項(xiàng)fickle“浮躁的，易變的”；B選項(xiàng)canvass“游說，推銷”；C選項(xiàng)boon“愉快的，慷慨的”；D

40、選項(xiàng)deride“嘲笑，嘲弄”。句意：那些擁有大量房產(chǎn)但缺乏信貸的房主很容易成為次級(jí)抵押貸款公司的目標(biāo)，這些公司的銷售人員利用電話號(hào)碼簿或在目標(biāo)郵政編碼地區(qū)挨家挨戶進(jìn)行推銷。本句表示向目標(biāo)房主進(jìn)行推銷。因此B選項(xiàng)正確。14.翻譯題Translate the following part into English.縱觀國際國內(nèi)大勢，我國發(fā)展仍處于可以大有作為的重要戰(zhàn)略機(jī)遇期。我們要準(zhǔn)確判斷重要戰(zhàn)略機(jī)遇期內(nèi)涵和條件的變化，全面把握機(jī)遇，沉著應(yīng)對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)，贏得主動(dòng)，贏得優(yōu)勢，贏得未來，確保到2020年實(shí)現(xiàn)全面建設(shè)成小康社會(huì)的宏偉目標(biāo)。【答案】An examination of both the curr

51、格處的動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該與decrease相反，所以選項(xiàng)B符合題意。3.考查邏輯關(guān)系。根據(jù)并列連詞or可知其前后的內(nèi)容是相近的，因此 the _ of money應(yīng)該與 purchasing power意思相近，因此選項(xiàng)C符合題意。4.考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。pay “支付”； offer “提供”； fight “與打仗”; finance “負(fù)擔(dān)經(jīng)費(fèi)”。后面提到政府spend more money（花更多的錢），可知前面是花錢在戰(zhàn)爭上，因此finance a war 符合題意。5.考查詞組辨析。carry away “運(yùn)走，使失去自制力”; carry off “奪去，奪得”； carry on “繼續(xù)，

52、參與”；carry out “實(shí)施”。與social program搭配的動(dòng)詞詞組是carry out，所以選項(xiàng)D符合題意。6.考查固定搭配。offset “抵消；補(bǔ)償”;compensate “補(bǔ)償，賠償”； exchange “交換”；accomplish “完成，實(shí)現(xiàn)”。offset deficit “彌補(bǔ)財(cái)政赤字”為固定搭配，選項(xiàng)A符合題意。7.考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。extend “延伸”；expand “擴(kuò)張”；spend “度過，花費(fèi)”； explore “探索”。根據(jù)后面issuing more paper money可知前面是在擴(kuò)大紙幣供應(yīng)，因此選項(xiàng)B符合題意。8.考查固定搭配。m

53、eet debts是“償清債務(wù)”的固定搭配，選項(xiàng)A符合題意。9.考查副詞詞義辨析。automatically “自動(dòng)地”；exceedingly “非常；極其”；timely “及時(shí)地”；excessively “過分地”。空格處所在句子的大意是：貨幣供應(yīng)量的增加將會(huì)導(dǎo)致貨幣價(jià)值自動(dòng)下降。因此選項(xiàng)A符合題意。10.考查條件狀語從句。根據(jù)后面的主句they will run out，主句使用將來時(shí)態(tài)可知空格處所在的分句是一個(gè)條件狀語從句，因此選項(xiàng)C符合題意。11.考查介詞詞義辨析。television and computers屬于popular goods，前者是對(duì)后者具體的舉例說明，因此選項(xiàng)

54、B符合題意。12.考查詞義辨析。supply “供給，提供”；satisfy “滿足，說服”； plenty “足夠的”；comply “遵守，遵從”。Industry will then produce more, at higher prices “工廠會(huì)以更高的價(jià)格生產(chǎn)更多的產(chǎn)品”，to 表目的，“為了滿足需求”，選項(xiàng)B符合題意。13.考查邏輯關(guān)系。根據(jù) if people think that the prices of popular goods are going up （如果人們認(rèn)為快銷產(chǎn)品的價(jià)格正在上漲），可知與前句是一個(gè)遞進(jìn)的關(guān)系，因此選項(xiàng)A符合題意。14.考查固定搭配。in

55、terest rate “利率”是固定用法，選項(xiàng)A符合題意。15.考查虛擬語氣。demand后接賓語從句時(shí)，從句的謂語一般要用虛擬語氣：should + 動(dòng)詞原形，其中should可以省略；此外，works wages與動(dòng)詞increase之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，因此要用被動(dòng)式，選項(xiàng)A符合題意。16.考查固定搭配。cover the cost “支付費(fèi)用”是固定用法，選項(xiàng)D符合題意。17.考查名詞詞義辨析。controller “控制器”；manager “經(jīng)理，管理人員”；consumer “消費(fèi)者，用戶”； employer “老板，雇主”。空格處所在句子的大意是：生產(chǎn)方為滿足要求會(huì)將生產(chǎn)成本加在

56、消費(fèi)者身上，因此選項(xiàng)C符合題意。18.考查固定搭配。in summary “概括起來，總之”是固定用法，選項(xiàng)D符合題意。19.考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。all of these causes can 79 inflationary problems （所有這些因素都可能導(dǎo)致通貨膨脹問題），四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中A與C都有“導(dǎo)致”的意思，但是result通常與介詞in連用，因此選項(xiàng)A符合題意。20.考查詞義辨析。productive “能生產(chǎn)的”；insufficient “不足的”；excessive “過多的”； processing “加工”。文章講述了導(dǎo)致通貨膨脹的三個(gè)因素，第二段第二句話The first

57、 and most important cause may be excessive government spending，由此可知選項(xiàng)C符合題意。16.單選題The problem should be discussed first, for it takes（ ）over all the other issues.問題1選項(xiàng)A.presumptionB.prosperityC.precedenceD.probability【答案】C【解析】考查名詞詞義辨析。presumption “放肆，傲慢；推測”； prosperity “繁榮，成功”；precedence “優(yōu)先；居先”； pro

58、bability “可能性”。根據(jù)前半句“這個(gè)問題應(yīng)該最先被討論”可知這個(gè)問題優(yōu)先于其他的，因此選項(xiàng)C符合題意。17.單選題It is said that the custom of shaking hands originated when primitive men held out empty hands to indicate that they had no（ ）weapons and were thus amicably disposed.問題1選項(xiàng)A.lethalB.murderousC.concealedD.secret【答案】C【解析】考查形容詞詞義辨析。lethal “致命

59、的”； murderous “殺人的；殘忍的”；concealed “隱蔽的”； secret “秘密的”。由held out empty hands “伸出空手”可知是沒有“隱藏的武器”，選項(xiàng)C符合題意。18.單選題The professor gave（ ）instruction to the whole class so as to make every student understand how to conduct the experiment in the lab.問題1選項(xiàng)A.authoritativeB.afflictiveC.explicitD.obvious【答案】C【解析

60、】考查形容詞詞義辨析。authoritative “有權(quán)威的”； afflictive “難受的，苦惱的”； explicit “明確的”; obvious “明顯的”。根據(jù)后面make every student understand how to conduct the experiment in the lab“讓每個(gè)學(xué)生知道如何在實(shí)驗(yàn)室中進(jìn)行實(shí)驗(yàn)”可知教授給出了“詳細(xì)的說明”，選項(xiàng)C符合題意。19.單選題Because of her dual nationality in the United States and Mexico, Maria was almost required t
