第3題:A

第4題:A

【解析】5.【試題答案】C

【試題解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。題干：作者認(rèn)為，如果一個(gè)人不能和巴黎人交流，他將……？根據(jù)題干定位到文章第二段第二句話Butifyoucan’treallytalktoParisians,youwillneverhitthebeautiful,thoughtful,gentlesweetsoftspotthatliesbehindtheirFrenchshynessandlackofconfidence—whichpresentsitselfascoldnessorcrankiness.（但是如果你真的不能和巴黎人交談，你將永不能發(fā)現(xiàn)，藏在法國人害羞和缺乏自信——常表現(xiàn)為冷漠和偏執(zhí)背后的是那些美麗的，體貼的，溫和的，甜美的軟肋。），可知巴黎人通常表現(xiàn)為冷漠和偏執(zhí)，只有通過交流，才能發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的各種優(yōu)點(diǎn)。因此，C選項(xiàng)“錯(cuò)失了欣賞巴黎人真正的魅力的機(jī)會(huì)”，符合題意；A項(xiàng)“不會(huì)看到法國人的害羞以及缺乏自信”，與原文相悖，故排除；文章第二段第三句話Findingthatsweetspot,viahourschattingwiththemincafesandbars（最有效的方式就是和他們?cè)诳Х瑞^或者酒吧聊天），這句話說明了解巴黎人的魅力的方法是通過在咖啡館和酒吧聊天，而B項(xiàng)“不能和巴黎人在咖啡館和酒吧聊天”，不是不能和巴黎人交流的后果，而是和巴黎人交流最好的方式，因此B選項(xiàng)不符合題意；D項(xiàng)“發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)好法語是急迫要求”，在文中并沒有提及。綜上所述，本題正確答案為C選項(xiàng)。

6.【試題答案】D

【試題解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。題干：巴黎人喜歡用英語回應(yīng)其他法國人是因?yàn)椤扛鶕?jù)題干定位到文章第四段第五句話AndlestyoutakeoffensewhenaParisianrepliestoyourFrenchwithherEnglish,remember—it’sherchancetoshowoffandpracticeherESL.（當(dāng)一個(gè)巴黎人用英語回答你的法語時(shí)，你要記住，這是她炫耀和練習(xí)英語的機(jī)會(huì)），可知D選項(xiàng)“他們對(duì)于自己說好英語的能力感到驕傲”，符合題意；根據(jù)文章第四段第六句話ParisianswantyoutoknowthattheyarefarmorelikelytospeakgoodEnglishthanFrenchpeopleoutsideofParis...,arealsolow.（巴黎人想讓你知道，他們比巴黎以外的法國人更有可能講一口流利的英語……，他們對(duì)說英語也沒有什么自信。），可知除巴黎之外其他城市的法國人說英語不如歐洲人而且他們不自信，而B選項(xiàng)“在語言方面，他們覺得自己不如歐洲人”，主語是巴黎人，不符合題意，排除；A選項(xiàng)“他們害怕讓其他人感到不舒服”和C選項(xiàng)“他們有助于巴黎之外的人”，在文中均未提及。綜上所述，本題正確答案為D選項(xiàng)。

7.【試題答案】A

【試題解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。題干：和美國人相比，作者怎么認(rèn)為巴黎人？根據(jù)題干定位到文章最后一段第五句話Wewereschooledandweliveinaculturewhereit’sokaytostumble,totryandfail,tobelessthanperfect.Theold,rote,didactic,shame-basedFrenchschoolingsystemdieshard.FrenchpeopleareoftenafraidtospeakEnglishunlesstheycanfeelassuredit’simpeccable.（我們受過教育，且我們的文化教會(huì)我們摔倒，嘗試后失敗，不完美都是沒關(guān)系的。然而老式，生硬，說教，以羞恥為基礎(chǔ)的法國學(xué)校教育體制很難改變。法國人常害怕說英語，除非他們確認(rèn)自己不會(huì)犯錯(cuò)），可知法國人只有在確定沒有錯(cuò)誤的前提下，才會(huì)說英語，因此A選項(xiàng)“在說英語的時(shí)候，他們不允許自己犯錯(cuò)”，符合題意；B選項(xiàng)“當(dāng)和美國人說英語的時(shí)候，對(duì)于障礙，他們感到自信”，本句提到美國人說第二母語是不會(huì)害怕犯錯(cuò)的，但是法國人相反，因此B選項(xiàng)的描述錯(cuò)誤，排除；C項(xiàng)“他們不喜歡學(xué)校的英語教學(xué)體制”，在文中沒有提及，故排除；D項(xiàng)“在說英語方面，他們享受和美國競爭”，文章只提及了美國人和法國人在說非母語時(shí)的不同，并沒有提到競爭，故D選項(xiàng)排除。綜上所述，本題正確答案為A選項(xiàng)。

8.【試題答案】A

【試題解析】推理判斷題。題干：在文章末尾，作者打算寫……？最后一段作者提到相比于美國人，法國人說英語時(shí)害怕犯錯(cuò)。緊接著最后一句話提到Y(jié)ou,however,shouldcastshameaside.Andifyoudon’thavetimeforatutor,here’saquickguideonhowtofakeit.（然而，你應(yīng)該拋開羞恥。如果你沒有時(shí)間請(qǐng)家教，這里有一個(gè)快速指南教你如何偽裝。），可知作者建議我們學(xué)習(xí)法語時(shí)，不應(yīng)該害羞，害怕犯錯(cuò)，如果沒時(shí)間上課學(xué)習(xí)法語，這里有一些建議，因此作者接下來很可能會(huì)教授如何說好法語的建議，因此A選項(xiàng)“說好法語的建議”，符合題意；B選項(xiàng)“拋開恥辱的建議”和C選項(xiàng)“尋找合格導(dǎo)師的指導(dǎo)”都是屬于文章的過度推斷，排除；D選項(xiàng)“練習(xí)法語的安排”，作者只會(huì)給讀者一些建議，而不是安排，故排除。綜上所述，本題正確答案為A選項(xiàng)。

2.單選題

Thestormsweepingoverthispartofthecountryissuretocause（）ofvegetablesinthecomingdays.

問題1選項(xiàng)

A.rarity

B.preliminary

C.inefficiency

D.invalidity

【答案】A

【解析】考查名詞詞義辨析。rarity“罕見，珍貴”；preliminary“初步行動(dòng)；準(zhǔn)備工作”；inefficiency“效率低；無效率”；invalidity“無效，無價(jià)值?！薄氨槐╋L(fēng)雨襲擊”與“蔬菜”之間的關(guān)系是前者會(huì)造成后者短缺，因此選項(xiàng)A符合題意。

3.單選題

Iwouldpreferthatwe（

）itsomeotherway.

問題1選項(xiàng)

A.do

B.did

C.willdo

D.havedone

【答案】B

【解析】句意:我寧愿我們用其它方式。

語法題?？疾樘摂M語氣。Wouldprefer+that從句時(shí),從句應(yīng)用虛擬語氣,即謂語動(dòng)詞do用一般過去式did。

4.單選題

Deceptivelysimpleindesign,thesculpturalworksofGeorgeNortonincorporateabroadrangeoftextures,sizes,andcontours.

問題1選項(xiàng)

A.Misleadingly

B.Generally

C.Noticeably

D.Exceptionally

【答案】A

【解析】考查副詞辨析。deceptively表示“看似，不像看上去那么”；A項(xiàng)misleadingly“誤導(dǎo)性地”，B項(xiàng)generally“通常地”，C項(xiàng)noticeably“顯著地，明顯地”，D項(xiàng)exceptionally“異常地，特殊地”。句意：看似簡單的設(shè)計(jì)，喬治諾頓的雕塑作品融合了廣泛的紋理、尺寸和輪廓的奧妙。根據(jù)句意可知，前面是對(duì)比的關(guān)系，那么只有misleadingly能夠替換劃線的單詞，故該題選擇A項(xiàng)正確。

5.單選題

Oneofthefirst（

）ofreducedburninginAmazonrainforestswasthechestnutindustry:smoketendstodriveouttheinsectthat,bypollinatingchestnuttree,allowchestnutstodevelop.

問題1選項(xiàng)

A.reformers

B.casualties

C.critics

D.beneficiaries

【答案】D

【解析】考查名詞辨析。reformer改革家，改良者；casualty傷亡人員；critics評(píng)論家；beneficiaries受益人。句意：在亞馬遜雨林中減少焚燒的直接受益者之一是栗子工業(yè)：通過給栗樹授粉，使栗子發(fā)育的昆蟲往往會(huì)被煙霧趕走。根據(jù)冒號(hào)后的內(nèi)容可判斷空格處應(yīng)填一個(gè)正面的積極詞匯，故D項(xiàng)正確。

【答案】第1題:D

第2題:C

第3題:C

第4題:A

第5題:B

【解析】1.判斷推理題。根據(jù)第一段“...hegathereduphisparachutebeforelimpingintothetreestohideitasbestashecould.（……他收起降落傘，跛著腳走入樹林，盡可能將降落傘藏好。）”可以推斷出約翰?哈丁是一個(gè)降落在敵國區(qū)域的飛行員。所以D選項(xiàng)“一名降落在敵國地區(qū)的飛行員”正確。A選項(xiàng)“一個(gè)逃犯”和B選項(xiàng)“一個(gè)正在被警察追捕的罪犯”說法不正確，罪犯有降落傘的可能性極低；C選項(xiàng)“一個(gè)藏在森林里的間諜”也不符合題意，因此D選項(xiàng)正確。

2.事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干可定位到文章第一段“Thehardnessofthegroundandthedeepdarknessmadeitalmostimpossibletodothisefficiently.（地面很堅(jiān)硬，天又一片漆黑，這使他幾乎不可能很好地完成這件事。）”，該句中的“這件事”指的就是藏降落傘，因此C選項(xiàng)“地面堅(jiān)硬，而且?guī)缀鯖]有光”正確。A選項(xiàng)“他的腳踝嚴(yán)重扭傷了”是原因之一，但不是最主要的原因；關(guān)于B選項(xiàng)“樹木沒有很好的遮蔽”，文章提到“Thepineneedleslayseveralinchesdeep,sohesimplypilethemontopoftheparachute...（堆在地上的松針有幾英尺厚，所以他只需用松針蓋在降落傘的上部……）”，由此可知松針足夠遮蓋住降落傘了，因此B選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；D選項(xiàng)“地上的松針太厚了”，說法錯(cuò)誤，這正好給了降落傘一個(gè)很好的掩蓋，因此C選項(xiàng)正確。

3.細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。根據(jù)題干可定位到文章第二段“Afterlimpingforsomedistanceinanindirectcourseawayfromhisparachutehebegantomakehiswaydownhillthroughthetrees.Hehadtofindoutwherehewas,andthendecidewhattodonext.Butwalkingdownhillonarapidlyswellinganklesoonprovedtobealmostbeyondhispowers.Hemovedmoreandmoreslowly,walkinginlongsidewaymovementsacrosstheslope,whichmeanttakingmorestepsbutlesspainfulones.（他一瘸一拐地離開降落傘，繞道走了一段路，然后穿過樹林往下走。他必須弄清楚自己在哪里，然后決定下一步該做什么。但他的腳踝迅速腫脹，走下坡很快就超出了他的能力范圍。他走得越來越慢，在斜坡上橫著走很長一段路，這就意味著他要多走幾步，但不那么痛苦了。）”，由此可知C選項(xiàng)“忍受痛苦而不改變方向地向前走”正確。A選項(xiàng)“繼續(xù)相當(dāng)快地走”文中提到“Hemovedmoreandmoreslowly...（他走得越來越慢）”，由此可知A選項(xiàng)不正確；B選項(xiàng)“朝著不那么陡峭的方向走”說法錯(cuò)誤，文中只提到他換了一個(gè)姿勢，但是并沒有更換方向；D選項(xiàng)“找出他降落的地方”說法錯(cuò)誤，題干問的是“盡管腳踝受傷，約翰?哈丁依然能夠……”，文章并沒有提到他已經(jīng)找到了自己降落的地方，只提到他想要弄清楚，因此C選項(xiàng)正確。

4.細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。根據(jù)題干可定位到文章第二段“Bythetimeheclearedthetreesandreachedthevalley,daywasbreaking.（當(dāng)他走出樹林到達(dá)山谷時(shí)，天已經(jīng)破曉了）”，由此可知A選項(xiàng)“天開始變亮了”符合題意。B選項(xiàng)“村子里的繩子上掛著剛洗的衣服”文章沒有提到；C選項(xiàng)“田野里到處都是睡覺的?！闭f法錯(cuò)誤，文章只提到了“Smallcottagesandfarmbuildingsgroupedlikesleepingcattlearoundavillagechurch...（在村莊的教堂周圍小農(nóng)舍和農(nóng)場建筑物像沉睡的牛群一樣聚在一起……）”，并沒有說到田野里到處都是沉睡的牛群；D選項(xiàng)“村莊附近的一些樹被清除了”文章沒有提到，因此A選項(xiàng)正確。

5.細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)題。根據(jù)題干可定位到文章第三段的最后一句話“SoI’llgodowntothevillage.Withluckbytheeveningmyfootwillbegoodenoughtogetmetotheborder.（所以我要去村子里。運(yùn)氣好的話，到晚上我的腳就能走到邊境了。）”，由此可知約翰?哈丁決定去村子主要是想去邊境，因此B選項(xiàng)“靠近邊境”正確。A選項(xiàng)“找醫(yī)生治療他的腳踝”和C選項(xiàng)“避開搜索隊(duì)”以及D選項(xiàng)“在建筑中尋找庇護(hù)”都不符合題意，因此B選項(xiàng)正確。

【答案】第1題:D

第2題:D

第3題:D

第4題:C

第5題:A

第6題:B

【解析】1.判斷推理題。根據(jù)A項(xiàng)關(guān)鍵詞“throughlucrativeacquisitions”，可定位到文章第三段第一句“ComcasthadbegunasaregionalcablecompanyinTupelo,Mississippi,andincreaseditsholdingsthroughaseriesoflucrativeacquisitions.”，可知康卡斯特最初是密西西比州圖珀洛的一家地區(qū)性有線電視公司，后來通過一系列利潤豐厚的收購增加了自己的持股。可判斷出康卡斯特并不是通過收購成為而成為世界上最大的媒體公司，故排除選項(xiàng)A。根據(jù)B項(xiàng)關(guān)鍵詞“AT&TBroadband”，可定位到文章第三段最后一句“Overayearlater,itsuccessfullyclosedthatdealforabout$40billion.”，可知一年多后，它以約400億美元的價(jià)格成功完成了這筆交易。可判斷出康卡斯特成功收購了AT&T公司，故排除選項(xiàng)B。根據(jù)文章第六段“Comcast’sproposedmergerwithDisneyfallsmainlyintothissecondcategory.”，可知康卡斯特與迪士尼擬議中的合并主要屬于第二類。而根據(jù)上文可知，第二類合并計(jì)劃也受到了一部人的反對(duì)，所以前景并不樂觀，故排除選項(xiàng)C。根據(jù)D項(xiàng)關(guān)鍵詞FCG，可定位到文章第五段“WhenFCGannouncedthatitwouldeasemodestlytherulesgoverningwhichsortofmediacompanycanmergewitheachother,liberalandconservativeAmericansalikenoisilyprofessedtheirhorrorattheprospectsofBigMediabecomingevenbigger.”可知當(dāng)FCG宣布將適度放寬對(duì)媒體公司合并的規(guī)定時(shí)，自由派和保守派都宣稱他們對(duì)大型媒體變得更大的前景感到恐懼?？膳袛喑鲆?yàn)镕CG對(duì)這次案例進(jìn)行了嚴(yán)格調(diào)查，所以觀察和分析人員對(duì)康卡斯特的合并提議表示擔(dān)憂，故選項(xiàng)D符合題意。

2.判斷推理題。由題干關(guān)鍵詞“Thecontradictoryfact…inthe5thparagraph”定位到文章第五段“WhenFCGannouncedthatitwouldeasemodestlytherulesgoverningwhichsortofmediacompanycanmergewitheachother,liberalandconservativeAmericansalikenoisilyprofessedtheirhorrorattheprospectsofBigMediabecomingevenbigger.”，可知當(dāng)FCG宣布將適度放寬對(duì)媒體公司合并的規(guī)定時(shí)，自由派和保守派都宣稱他們對(duì)大型媒體變得更大的前景感到恐懼?？膳袛喑鲎杂膳珊捅Ｊ嘏蓪?duì)于大型媒體問題具有相同的看法，都認(rèn)為不應(yīng)該放松對(duì)大型媒體的監(jiān)管和控制，而實(shí)際上這些媒體巨頭運(yùn)營的媒體業(yè)務(wù)實(shí)際上需要的是少的監(jiān)管，所以對(duì)此有所矛盾，故選項(xiàng)D符合題意。

3.事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。由題干關(guān)鍵詞“oppositiontotheproposedComcast-Disneymerger”定位到文章第六段“Second,themarriageofmediacontentwithmediadistributionfurtherincreasesthepowerofmediabaronsoverviewers,readersandlisteners,asthemediagiantsusetheirsalespowertobattertheirwayintolivingrooms.Comcast’sproposedmergerwithDisneyfallsmainlyintothissecondcategory.”可知人們反對(duì)合并的第二個(gè)原因就是媒體內(nèi)容與媒體發(fā)行的結(jié)合進(jìn)一步增強(qiáng)了媒體大亨們對(duì)觀眾、讀者和聽眾的影響力，因?yàn)檫@些媒體巨頭利用他們的銷售能力打入了客廳?？悼ㄋ固睾偷鲜磕岬暮喜⒕蛯儆谶@一類。所以人們反對(duì)二者合并的主要原因是基于擔(dān)心它對(duì)增加媒體大亨的影響力。故選項(xiàng)D符合題意。

4.判斷推理題。由題干關(guān)鍵詞“BigMediaisthreatenedandvulnerable”定位到文章第七段“BigMedia…isnotoverweeningandalmighty,butthreatenedandvulnerable.Theobstacletodominanceinanyoftheseindustriesistheonwardmarchofdigitaltechnologywhich,asitcombineswiththespreadofbroadbandInternetconnections,isunderminingmostfirms’businessmodels.”，可知大型媒體并不是全能的，而是受到威脅的，是脆弱的。未能在這些行業(yè)中占據(jù)主導(dǎo)地位的原因是數(shù)字技術(shù)的發(fā)展，它結(jié)合了寬帶互聯(lián)網(wǎng)連接的普及，正在破壞大多數(shù)公司的運(yùn)營模式。可判斷出通過提及大型媒體受到威脅，作者想表達(dá)的意思是：互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的巨大影響力使得大型媒體不可能在領(lǐng)域中占據(jù)主導(dǎo)地位。故選項(xiàng)C符合題意。

5.詞義推測題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞“baron”定位到文章第六段“themarriageofmediacontent(news,films,TVshows)withmediadistribution(TVorradionetworks,internetservicesandthelike)furtherincreasesthepowerofmediabaronsoverviewers,readersandlisteners,asthemediagiantsusetheirsalespowertobattertheirwayintolivingrooms.”，可知媒體內(nèi)容與媒體發(fā)行的結(jié)合進(jìn)一步增強(qiáng)了媒體大亨們對(duì)觀眾、讀者和聽眾的影響力，因?yàn)檫@些媒體巨頭利用他們的銷售能力打入了客廳。可判斷出mediabaron與mediagiant意思相近，都可以表示“媒體巨頭”，所以是指有巨大權(quán)力和影響力的企業(yè)，故選項(xiàng)A符合題意。

6.詞義推測題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞“moot”定位到原文第七段“theInternet,withitsanarchicbloggersandwealthofinformation,rendersalleffortstocontrolminds,atleastinAmerica,somewhatmoot.”，可知互聯(lián)網(wǎng)有一些無法無天的博客和豐富的信息，竭盡全力地控制思想，稍微顯得并無實(shí)際意義，至少在美國是如此，所以moot的意為“無決議的，無實(shí)際意義的”，可理解為“仍然沒有解決的”，故選項(xiàng)B符合題意。
