PartIVocabularyandStructure1.C【句意】他不懂英語,更不必說英語文化了?！窘馕觥靠疾楣潭ù钆鋞osaynothingof“更不必說，更談不上”。2.B【句意】不懂法不是犯法的借口。【解析】excuse“借口”；reason“原因”；ground“基礎(chǔ)”；point“意義”。B正確。3.A【句意】據(jù)說新法規(guī)將開始執(zhí)行。【解析】putintoeffect“使生效，實行”；takeintoaccount“把…考慮在內(nèi)”；keepinsight“看見”；bringtomind“想起”。根據(jù)題意，A正確。4.D【句意】生活經(jīng)常被作家比作舞臺?！窘馕觥縞ompareto“比作”；comparewith“與…相比”。沒有compareas和comparelike的搭配。因此D項正確。5.C【句意】電視使我們比以往更見多識廣?！窘馕觥縤nformed是形容詞，“有知識的，了解情況的，見聞廣的”。其他三項均不符合句意。6.A【句意】你昨天本來能夠做得更好，可你為什么沒做好？【解析】couldhavedone:本能夠做某事，而實際卻沒做，是虛擬語氣，但后半句whydidn’tyou?不是虛擬語氣，表示真實狀態(tài)—昨天的情況。因此選A項。7.D【句意】空氣，或者是被稱為大氣的東西，包圍著整個地球?！窘馕觥縲hat（連詞）在此句中引導(dǎo)名詞從句與air并列作句子的主語。8.B【句意】如果我做某事是徒勞，那就是說我做這事沒成功?！窘馕觥縤nvain“徒勞，無效”，與withoutsuccess意思相符。withoutinterest“沒興趣的”；withoutdifficulty“毫不困難的”。9.D【句意】那位老人行走緩慢，時常停下來休息?！窘馕觥縮top后面可以有兩種非謂語動詞形式，即：stoptodo:停止某事去做另一件事；stopdoing:停止正在做的某件事情。根據(jù)題意，D正確。10.A【句意】不久以后疼痛將會消失?！窘馕觥縝yandby“不久以后”；allover“到處”；atpresent“目前，現(xiàn)在”；byanychance“萬一，碰巧”。根據(jù)題意，A正確。11.B【句意】你不認(rèn)為該是戒煙的時候了嗎?【解析】句型：Itistime+that…中由that引導(dǎo)的從句是虛擬語氣句型。從句中的動詞應(yīng)為一般過去時。12.D【句意】正如上面指出的，這種物質(zhì)可以被用作替代品?！窘馕觥看司湫褪怯申P(guān)系代詞as引導(dǎo)的定語從句，as在定語從句中用作主語。13.C【句意】我找不到彼得,也不知道他去了哪里。【解析】nor“也不”，置于否定句之后，在nor之后接“助動詞+主語+動詞”或“be動詞+主語”的倒裝句。14.D【句意】如果說我對這本書評價不高，這意味著我對這本書評價不好?！窘馕觥縩otthinkmuchof…:“對……評價不高”與haveapooropinionof…:“對……評價不好或不高”的意思相同。資料來源：31省市學(xué)位英語網(wǎng)15.B【句意】既然你跟她商談過這件事，你就不應(yīng)該再見她?！窘馕觥縲hen在此句中的意思是“既然”，引導(dǎo)狀語從句。又因為句子表示的是過去的含義，應(yīng)該選擇過去時態(tài)。故B正確。16.D【句意】就剩下這兩朵小黃花了。【解析】當(dāng)若干個形容詞修飾一個名詞時，排列順序是：數(shù)量+質(zhì)量+大小+顏色+狀態(tài)+名詞。17.A【句意】奧委會制訂了嚴(yán)格的規(guī)則要運動員遵循。【解析】goby“遵循”；goon“繼續(xù)”；goover“復(fù)習(xí)，檢查”；goafter“追逐，追求”。18.A【句意】對你所做的事情我很不高興。【解析】farfrom（副詞詞組）“遠(yuǎn)非，完全不，非但不”。所以應(yīng)選pleased，表示狀態(tài)。19.B【句意】讓別人聽明白，這種能力對任何說話人都是很重要的。【解析】動詞不定式作定語修飾ability，而且此處應(yīng)使用被動語態(tài)的形式。20.C【句意】如果她知道了你弄丟了她的書怎么辦？【解析】asif“好像”；evenif“即使，縱然”；whatif“如果…怎么樣？”；supposethat“假如”，后跟從句。

PartIIReadingComprehension21.C【解析】主旨題。全文分別講述了什么是hightech（高端技術(shù)）和thestateofarts（當(dāng)前最新水平）。故選C是正確答案。22.A【解析】推理判斷題。第一段最后一句“由于技術(shù)的進(jìn)步，人們在美國的商店里能夠買到許多新產(chǎn)品?！睆拇司淇梢酝茢喑觯好绹纳痰昕梢詾槿藗兲峁┬庐a(chǎn)品。23.C【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。答案在第一段第四句至第一段最后一句可知A、B、D項都是高科技，只有C項不是。24.D【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。從最后一段第一、二句“計算機的變化如此迅速以至于今天的高科技計算機明天可能就落后了。高科技這個詞會變得如同計算機那樣常見和流行?！笨芍狝項和Ｃ項正確；從第二段最后兩句可知B項正確。所以Ｄ項是正確答案。25.B【解析】主旨題。同第一題。26.B【解析】主旨題。全文圍繞著作弊的原因展開說明，并且在第三段中的society’sattitudesaccountformuchoftheincreaseincheating.（社會態(tài)度說明了作弊現(xiàn)象上升的原因。）也具體指出作弊的原因。資料來源：31省市學(xué)位英語網(wǎng)27.C【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。最后一段“當(dāng)利益很大而被抓住的機會很低時，作弊最有可能發(fā)生”。28.D【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。由第二段第一句“你想得到某樣?xùn)|西，但通過合法途徑又無法得到，你就會不惜犯罪或后悔并且寧愿冒著被抓的危險去得到它”可知D正確。29.A【解析】推斷題。倒數(shù)第二段大意為：過去大學(xué)生作弊被看作是極其嚴(yán)重的事情，即使不被永遠(yuǎn)開除也會被停課一學(xué)期，而現(xiàn)在文理學(xué)院的政策是對學(xué)生作弊的科目以不及格記分，僅此而已。學(xué)生會想：反正也是不及格，為什么不作弊呢？所以A項“作弊廣為傳播是因為社會對此太容忍了”為正確答案。資料來源：31省市學(xué)位英語網(wǎng)30.B【解析】詞匯題。flunk所在的句子意思為：反正也是不及格，為什么不作弊呢？所以B項fail“不及格”是正確答案。31.D【解析】推理判斷題。第二段后幾句描繪了過去的鄉(xiāng)村生活：你認(rèn)識村中所有人而且村中所有人也認(rèn)識你；在村中走著就可以去進(jìn)行娛樂活動；家庭主婦全天在家操持家務(wù)；每晚為了節(jié)省煤和燈油很早就睡覺了。由此可見，現(xiàn)在的鄉(xiāng)村生活與過去不一樣。32.C【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。第三段第四句“電和汽車使鄉(xiāng)村生活和城鎮(zhèn)生活幾乎一樣”。故選項C符合題意。33.A【解析】推斷題。由第二段后幾句（同第11題）可知過去的村民比現(xiàn)在的村民過著更簡樸的生活。資料來源：31省市學(xué)位英語網(wǎng)34.D【解析】語義題。原句thereisnopointwhateverintalkinganylongerabout“villagelife”.（因為鄉(xiāng)村生活與城鎮(zhèn)生活幾乎相同，談?wù)撪l(xiāng)村生活就沒有什么意思了）。故D符合題意。35.A【解析】縱觀全文，尤其在最后一句“現(xiàn)在走在鄉(xiāng)村街道上的孩子比以前的孩子吃得更好，穿得更好，受教育更好，更健康，更可愛?！笨梢钥闯鲎髡邔︵l(xiāng)村生活是肯定態(tài)度的。因此選A。36.D【解析】Millionsdoit指代的就是上句話：itispossibleforordinarypeopletomaketheirhomesontheequator.（對普通人來說在赤道上安家是可以的。）所以doit指代maketheirhomesontheequator.37.B【解析】答案在第一段中whentravelingbyair,itisreallysafertoflyovertheNorthPolethanovertheequator.（坐飛機旅行時飛越北極比飛越赤道更安全）。因此選擇B正確。38.C【解析】答案在第一段最后“地球上4000米的高空中就看不到云層，然而在熱帶，即使到了1萬8千米或2萬米的高空仍可能有壞天氣”。39.A【解析】第二段第一句“飛機在冷空氣中不像在熱空氣中上升得那么快?！彼訟項正確。40.B【解析】答案在文章的最后一句“飛機在到達(dá)極地地區(qū)時，保持在一個恰當(dāng)?shù)母叨壬希蜔o需上升，因為冷空氣使云層處在飛機的下方?！?/p>

PartIIICloze41.A【解析】bemadeof的意思是“由…制成”，此處的madeof作定語修飾rubbersidewalks；rubbersidewalksmadeofground-uptiresofcarsandbikes意為“由碾碎的輪胎制作成的橡膠人行道”。42.B【解析】last持續(xù)、維持，此處的lastlong指“耐用，使用時間長”；stay逗留；保持；exist存在；survive幸免。43.C【解析】inturn的意思是“反過來，反之”，此處指數(shù)根和冰凍的天氣不會使橡膠板材開裂的情況反過來會減少因路面不平引起滑道的投訴。byturns輪流，交替；byreturn是個干擾項，英語中沒有這種表達(dá)方式；inreturn作為回報，作為報答。44.D【解析】makecomplaintsagainst…是一個固定搭配，意思是“控告…，對…投訴”。45.B
