【答案】第1題:B

第2題:A

第3題:D

第4題:C

第5題:D

【解析】1.【試題解析】細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。由題干可以定位到原文首段“DespiteDenmark’smanifestvirtues,DanesnevertalkabouthowproudtheyaretobeDanes.”，中文翻譯為：盡管丹麥有著明顯的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，但是丹麥人卻從不談及自己身為丹麥人有多么自豪。因此B選項“謙虛的”符合題意。

2.【試題解析】細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞Danishcharacteristic可定位到文章第二段Itisthelandwhere,asthesayinggoes,“fewhavetoomuchandfewerhavetoolittle,”，中文翻譯為：正如俗語所說，它（即丹麥）是一個‘很少人擁有太多且更少的人擁有太少’的國土，對應(yīng)B選項“社會平等”。第二段中“thereisnoDanishAcademytodefendagainstit”，中文翻譯為：沒有一個丹麥的學(xué)院去反對它（英語），對應(yīng)C選項“語言的容忍”。以及第二段“It’sanationoftirelessplanners.”中文翻譯為：它是一個有著不知疲倦的規(guī)劃者的國家。對應(yīng)D選項“持續(xù)的規(guī)劃”。因此A項符合題意。

3.【試題解析】細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。根據(jù)題干可以定位到文章第三段“...brokenbeerbottlesinthegutters,drunkenteenagersslumpedinthepark…”，中文翻譯為：水溝中打碎的啤酒瓶，倒在公園里的喝醉的青少年?？芍鸢笧镈項“懷疑的”。

4.【試題解析】細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞Danishorderliness可以定位到文章第四段“Orderlinessisamainsellingpoint.”，中文翻譯為：有序是一個主要的賣點(diǎn)。因此C項“在經(jīng)濟(jì)上對這個國家被認(rèn)為是至關(guān)重要的”正確。

5.【試題解析】細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。A項“丹麥人清楚地被告知自己的社會福利”可定位到文章倒數(shù)第一段“Therulesofthewelfaresystemarecleartoeveryone.”，中文翻譯為：福利系統(tǒng)的制度對每個人都是顯然的。B選項“丹麥人將被給予自己的東西當(dāng)成理所當(dāng)然”對應(yīng)文章最后一段中“Certainthingsareyoursbyvirtueofcitizenship.”，中文翻譯為：某些東西由于你是公民而是你的。C選項“公開的系統(tǒng)有助于這個國家度過困難時期”對應(yīng)最后一段“…toweatherhighunemploymentandsocialunrestwithoutasenseofcrisis.”，中文翻譯為：在沒有危機(jī)感的情況下去經(jīng)受住失業(yè)和社會動蕩。因此可知答案為D“有序緩解了失業(yè)”。

第9題:C

第10題:B

【解析】1.【試題解析】考查習(xí)慣搭配。Focuson“專注于”。結(jié)合此處語義，C為正確答案。

2.【試題解析】考查語法。由空格所在這句話的結(jié)構(gòu)是完整的判斷出此處考查強(qiáng)調(diào)句：itis...that...。結(jié)合此處語境，A為正確答案。

3.【試題解析】考查固定短語。playavitalrole“起重要作用”。結(jié)合此處語境，D為正確答案。

4.【試題解析】考查語法。空格處作定語修飾groups，結(jié)合語境，B為正確答案。interested“感興趣的；有利害關(guān)系的”。

5.【試題解析】考查語法。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)，本句話真正的主語為toexchangeinformation，空格處作形式主語，故選A。

6.【試題解析】考查形近詞辨析。A選項geophysically“地球物理學(xué)地”；B選項geotropically“屈地性地”；C選項geometrically“幾何學(xué)上地”；D選項geographically“在地理上；地理學(xué)上”。根據(jù)句意，D選項正確。

8.【試題解析】考查語法。綜合考慮，空格處和to構(gòu)成動詞不定式表將來，本句為系表結(jié)構(gòu)，主語和表語為被動關(guān)系，因此B為正確答案。本句句意為：……但是總是有更多問題有待處理。

9.【試題解析】考查語法。結(jié)合句子結(jié)構(gòu)，此處為非限定性定語從句，需要一個關(guān)鍵詞引導(dǎo)，作為狀語修飾關(guān)鍵詞conference，因此C為正確答案。

10.【試題解析】考查主謂一致。主語aconference為單數(shù)，句子時態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時，故B為正確答案。

9.單選題

【答案】第1題:B

第2題:D

第3題:B

第4題:C

第5題:C

第6題:D

第7題:C

第8題:A

【解析】1.【試題解析】主旨大意題。文章主要講的是各領(lǐng)域的收費(fèi)服務(wù)網(wǎng)站興起，使得越來越多的專業(yè)人士通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)賺錢。故B項“越來越多的人利用他們的專業(yè)在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上賺錢”比較符合文章大意。

2.【試題解析】細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。第二段指出：Ms.Estesappliedtobecomean“expert”onLivePersonInC.aWebsitewhereclientspayforonlinechattimewithprofessionalsandadvisersofallfields.（埃斯特斯申請成為LivePersonInc.的一名“專家”，這是一家客戶付費(fèi)與各領(lǐng)域?qū)I(yè)人士和顧問在線聊天的網(wǎng)站）。因此D項“客戶為與專業(yè)人士的在線交流時間而付費(fèi)”正確。

3.【試題解析】細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。第四段指出：Labor-at-the-keyboardsitesaregainingpopularityaspeopleincreasinglyturntotheWebinsearchofwork.（隨著人們不斷轉(zhuǎn)向網(wǎng)絡(luò)找工作，鍵盤勞動力網(wǎng)站越來越受歡迎）。因此B項“因?yàn)楦嗟娜嗽诰W(wǎng)上找工作”正確。

4.【試題解析】判斷推理題。第七段指出：Thesitetakesacommissionofbetween30%and35%（網(wǎng)站收取30%到35%的傭金）。由此可算出，如果客戶支付10美元，網(wǎng)站抽取傭金3—3.5美元，專家將獲得6.5—7美元，故選C。
