2.單選題

Youwillneverget______withallyourhomeworktonight.

問題1選項(xiàng)

A.on

B.away

C.through

D.off

【答案】C

【解析】考查詞組辨析。A項(xiàng)on“在……上”，getonwith表示“在……獲得成功，與……友好相處”；B項(xiàng)away“離開”，getawaywith表示“僥幸成功，僥幸逃脫”；C項(xiàng)through“通過”，getthroughwith表示“完成，結(jié)束”；D項(xiàng)off“離開，脫掉”，getoffwith表示“結(jié)識(shí)”。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞allyourhomework“所有的家庭作業(yè)”可知，C項(xiàng)符合語境。句意：你今晚不可能完成所有的家庭作業(yè)。因此，該題選擇C項(xiàng)正確。

3.單選題

問題1選項(xiàng)

A.current

B.initial

C.modern

D.primitive

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容詞辨析。current“現(xiàn)在的，最近的”；initial“最初的”；modern“現(xiàn)代的”；primitive“原始的”。句意：人們對(duì)未來的期望，相比他們現(xiàn)在的狀態(tài)，可能對(duì)他們的幸福感產(chǎn)生更大的影響。由題干中的future以及than可推知此空應(yīng)填與future相對(duì)應(yīng)的表示時(shí)間狀態(tài)的詞，故A項(xiàng)符合題意。

5.單選題

【答案】第1題:C

第2題:D

第3題:B

第4題:D

第5題:A

【解析】1.判斷推理題。文章第一段提到公司計(jì)劃減少工廠排放至空氣中的石棉含量，即每毫升空氣中纖維含量最多0.5，這是衛(wèi)生安全局定下的范圍（Thecompanyisjustinstitutingaprogrammetoreducetheasbestosintheairattheplanttoamaximum0.5fiberspermilliliterofair—thecontrollimitimposedbytheHealthandSafetyExecutiveirresponsible），因此可以推測(cè)目前的含量超過了這個(gè)范圍，才會(huì)需要降低，因此選項(xiàng)C符合題意。

2.細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。文章第四段最后一句話提到這些致命的疾病可能要在多年后才出現(xiàn)，而其產(chǎn)生的原因和導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果之間的關(guān)系具有爭(zhēng)議性（Thediseasesmaynotappearuntilyearsaftertheprocesswasfirstinitiated,andtherelationshipbetweencauseandeffectisoftencontroversial），因此選項(xiàng)D符合題意。

3.判斷推理題。根據(jù)文章第五段第四句話Theprobabilityofanaccidentisthenexpressedintermsofthenumberoflikelycatastrophesper10,000years,usuallyafractionofone可知選項(xiàng)B符合題意。

4.判斷推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段第一句話Thiscallouscalculusmadenoallowanceforwhatmostpeoplewouldregardasthemaincostofalostlife-thepain,griefandsuffering中的callous（無情的，麻木的）可知人力資本方法是殘忍的，選項(xiàng)D符合題意。

5.判斷推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段最后一句話Theanswerseemstocomeoutbetween￡lmand￡2m，可知回答的是某種事物的價(jià)格，因此選項(xiàng)A符合題意。

【答案】第1題:B

第2題:C

第3題:A

第4題:C

第5題:A

【解析】第1題:1.事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。第一段指出“Notarticlesorreports,occasionallypieces,butstories”，不是文章或報(bào)告，偶爾的作品是故事。由此可知B項(xiàng)“故事”正確。

第2題:2.事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位至第三段“Thegoodnewspapereditorwillhaveaclearideaofthesortofpeoplewhoarereadingit,andcatertotheirinterestsandpreoccupations,sometimestheirprejudices”，一位好的報(bào)紙編輯要有明確的概念，即：什么樣的人會(huì)讀報(bào)紙，要迎合讀者的興趣，抓住讀者的注意力，有時(shí)可能要關(guān)注他們的偏見。因此C項(xiàng)“迎合讀者的興趣，抓住讀者的注意力”正確。

第3題:3.判斷推理題。對(duì)NicholasTomalin所述的引用在第七段，第七段的主題句是“Sojournalisticwritingisdifferentfromcreativewriting”，所以新聞寫作不同于創(chuàng)意寫作。此后的每句都是在論證這一主題句，因此A項(xiàng)“新聞寫作不同于創(chuàng)意寫作”正確。

第4題:4.事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。A:報(bào)紙上的內(nèi)容是選擇性的。第六段指出“Itisselective”，它是選擇性的，因此A項(xiàng)正確。B：讀報(bào)所花的時(shí)間更少。根據(jù)“Relativelylittletimeisspentreadingadailynewspaper”可知B項(xiàng)正確。C：報(bào)紙讀者應(yīng)該在這方面努力。根據(jù)“Thenewspaperreader,doesnotexpecttoinvesteffortintheendeavour”，看報(bào)的人并不需要投入太多的精力，因此C項(xiàng)與原文不符。D：報(bào)紙讀者偏愛故事，而不喜歡從頭到尾讀。根據(jù)“Manynewspaperreadersskim,sampleorgetaflavourofastoryratherthanreadingitthrough”，許多讀報(bào)者只是略讀，僅僅粗略看看故事而不是精讀，因此D項(xiàng)正確。

第5題:5.判斷推理題。文章講述了新聞寫作的特點(diǎn)與要求。因?yàn)榭磮?bào)者通常會(huì)花較少的時(shí)間瀏覽報(bào)紙各版面，所以新聞作品要迎合讀者口味，吸引他們的注意力。故本題選A項(xiàng)“讓讀者花費(fèi)更多的時(shí)間去閱讀報(bào)紙”。

）thestrikeifthecompanywouldsatisfytheirdemands.

問題1選項(xiàng)

A.callfor

B.callforth

C.calloff

【答案】C

【解析】考查詞組辨析。callfor意為“接（人），呼吁，需要”；callforth意為“喚起，引起”；calloff意為“取消”；callup意為“打電話，召集”。

句意：如果公司能滿足他們的要求，工人們就同意取消罷工。

C.utilization利用，使用D.proposition提議，建議（尤指業(yè)務(wù)上的）

【考查點(diǎn)】名詞辨析。

【解題思路】根據(jù)句意“英國(guó)的天氣出乎預(yù)料，因此引起了大家的興趣和______”可知，因?yàn)樘鞖馐请y以預(yù)料的，所以這引起英國(guó)人的對(duì)天氣的猜測(cè)，該題選擇A項(xiàng)恰當(dāng)。

【干擾項(xiàng)排除】B、C、D項(xiàng)不符合句意。

問題1選項(xiàng)

A.consensus

B.census

C.censorship

D.conscience

【答案】A

C.historical（有關(guān)）歷史的，歷史學(xué)的D.illegal不合法的，非法的

【答案】A

【考查點(diǎn)】形容詞辨析。

【解題思路】根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞streetviolence（街頭暴力）可知，空格處填入notorious表示“臭名昭著的”符合句子意思。因此，該題選擇A項(xiàng)。

【干擾項(xiàng)排除】B、C、D項(xiàng)不符合句意。

【句意】該市的這一地區(qū)長(zhǎng)期以來因街頭暴力而臭名昭著。

13.單選題

問題1選項(xiàng)

A.shortage

B.haste

C.deficiency

【答案】D

【解析】考查名詞辨析。A選項(xiàng)shortage“缺乏，不足”。B選項(xiàng)haste“匆忙，急忙”。C選項(xiàng)deficiency“缺陷，缺點(diǎn)”。D選項(xiàng)absence“缺席，缺少，沒有”。句意：如果沒有其他幫手，我們?cè)趺茨芡瓿蛇@項(xiàng)工作呢?本句表示“缺乏幫手的話，難以完成這項(xiàng)工作”。因此D選項(xiàng)符合題意。

【答案】【參考譯文】世界對(duì)香港的評(píng)價(jià)很高，有關(guān)香港的溢美之詞不勝枚舉。香港在國(guó)際上最堅(jiān)定的支持者是那些很了解它的人，和那些自香港回歸以來踏足香港的外地朋友。人們普遍認(rèn)為，香港與中國(guó)大陸毗鄰的地理位置以及香港商界的經(jīng)商經(jīng)驗(yàn)對(duì)香港來說都是巨大的優(yōu)勢(shì)。如果香港商界想要充分利用那些優(yōu)勢(shì)，那么必須快速地行動(dòng)起來。

第2題:2.推理判斷題。由第一段中“…sotactfullythatnetworkswereoftenunawareofjustwhathewasgettingawaywithontheir-our-air…如此巧妙地，以至于廣播電視網(wǎng)經(jīng)常不知曉他(即大衛(wèi)?薩斯坎德)在他們自己的電臺(tái)上僥幸逃脫了什么。”可知B選項(xiàng)“私有的而不是公有的財(cái)產(chǎn)”正確。

第3題:3.細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。由第二段中“IturneddowntheDemocraticnominationforU.S.senateonthesensiblegroundthatitwasnotwinnable…我基于明智的理由（即進(jìn)入?yún)⒆h院是不可成功的）而拒絕了美國(guó)參議員民主黨提名”可知A選項(xiàng)“競(jìng)選參議院席位”正確。

第4題:4.推理判斷題。由第三段中“Butthen,Isayverymildly,wehaveonlyonepoliticalpartyintheUnitedStates,thePropertyParty,withtworightwings,RepublicanandDemocrat.然而，我非常溫和地說，我們?cè)诿绹?guó)只有一個(gè)政黨，即產(chǎn)權(quán)黨，它有著民主黨和共和黨兩個(gè)權(quán)力黨派?！笨芍狟選項(xiàng)“保護(hù)產(chǎn)權(quán)”正確。

第5題:5.細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。由第三段中“Iwasapoliticalpundit…我是一位政治專家”可知A項(xiàng)“他的各種政治經(jīng)驗(yàn)”正確。

問題1選項(xiàng)

A.atthecostof

B.onthevergeof

C.asaresultof

D.forthesakeof

【答案】C

【解析】atthecostof

以...為代價(jià)；onthevergeof瀕臨于,

接近于；asaresultof因此,

由于；forthesakeof為了。句意：人壽保險(xiǎn)為被保者的家屬提供經(jīng)濟(jì)保障,

以防止因養(yǎng)家糊口的人去世而造成的損失。選項(xiàng)C符合句意。

20.單選題

Tiredofurbanlife,Jenifermakesuphermindtobuildherownhomeinaregionwherewildlife（）.

問題1選項(xiàng)

A.abounds

B.exceeds

C.amplifies

D.sustains

【答案】A

【解析】考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。A選項(xiàng)abound表示“大量存在，盛產(chǎn)，充滿”，B選項(xiàng)exceed表示“超越，勝過”，C選項(xiàng)amplify表示“放大；擴(kuò)大”，D選項(xiàng)sustain表示“維持（生命、生存）；保持；支撐”。由句意可知，珍妮弗因?yàn)閰捑氤鞘猩?，所以決心在野生動(dòng)物豐富的地區(qū)建造自己的家。定語從句的主語是wildlife，缺少謂語動(dòng)詞。對(duì)比四個(gè)選項(xiàng)，只有A選項(xiàng)詞義最符合原文句意，故A選項(xiàng)為本題正確答案。

21.單選題

TheirsigningofthetreatywasregardedasaconspiracyagainsttheBritishCrown.

問題1選項(xiàng)

A.secretplan

B.boldattack

C.cleverdesign

D.jointeffort

【答案】A

【解析】形+名詞組辨析。conspiracy指陰謀。secretplan秘密計(jì)劃；boldattack大膽的攻擊；cleverdesign聰明的設(shè)計(jì)，為褒義詞，不符合語境；jointeffort共同努力。選項(xiàng)A更符合語境，所以正確。

22.單選題

Thepriestmadethe（）ofthecrosswhenheenteredthechurch.

問題1選項(xiàng)

A.mark

B.signal

C.sign

D.gesture

【答案】C

【解析】考查名詞辨析。A選項(xiàng)mark“標(biāo)志，記號(hào)”；B選項(xiàng)signal“信號(hào)，暗號(hào)”；C選項(xiàng)sign“符號(hào)，記號(hào)，手勢(shì)”；D選項(xiàng)gesture“姿態(tài)，手勢(shì)”。四個(gè)詞中，只有sign可與“cross（十字）”搭配，thesignofthecross表示“一個(gè)十字符號(hào)”。例如：toconsecratewiththesignofthecross（劃十字祝福）。句意：當(dāng)他進(jìn)入教堂時(shí)神父畫了個(gè)十字。綜上所述，本題的正確答案是C選項(xiàng)。

23.單選題

問題1選項(xiàng)

A.exaggerated

B.discounted

C.overestimated

D.verified

【答案】B

【解析】exaggerated夸大,言過其實(shí)的;discounted打折的;overestimated過高評(píng)價(jià)的;verified核實(shí)的。句意：無論我們多么重視學(xué)校生活,不可否認(rèn)的事實(shí)是孩子們呆在家里的時(shí)間比在教室里的時(shí)間多。因此,父母的巨大影響是不能被老師忽視或者大打折扣的。選項(xiàng)B符合句意。

24.單選題

問題1選項(xiàng)

A.Notbeing

B.Nothavingbeen

C.Haditnotbeen

D.Havingitnotbeen

【答案】C

【解析】考查虛擬語氣。當(dāng)主句結(jié)構(gòu)為：主語+would（shouldcouldmight）+have+動(dòng)詞的過去分詞時(shí)，從句結(jié)構(gòu)應(yīng)為：If+主語+had+動(dòng)詞的過去分詞。當(dāng)虛擬句中的if省略時(shí)，主句中的had要提前。原句應(yīng)為：Ifithadnotbeenforhisillness...，省略if后had提前，句子變?yōu)椋篐aditnotbeenforhisillness...。句意：如果不是因?yàn)樗?，他就?huì)來幫你粉刷房子了。因此C選項(xiàng)正確。
