參考答案

1.B

2.C

3.C根據文中第一段第二句的提示，可知REM一晚上發(fā)生四到五次。

4.A推理判斷題。

【應試指導】文章第四段中，學校的老師發(fā)現將經?？催@個節(jié)目的兒童和很少看這個節(jié)目的兒童編在一個班上課，就會出現一些問題，即教學可能會變得有點兒困難。

5.B解析：參見文章最后一個句子。

6.B解析：即本文的話題“生活本不公平?！?/p>

7.B

8.A解析：第一段。解釋什么是kidnapping。選項A是正確的。Steal意為未經允許把什么拿走。Nap有小睡的意思，但與kid構成一個單詞時意思大不一樣。選項D：從陌生人手中救出，與原意相反。

9.A

10.B解析：細節(jié)辨認題。根據第三段“And，bytheway，ifyouopenanaccountthismonth，we'llgiveyoufreeaspeciallydesignedlecturenotefolderWithaclipboard,padandball-point"可以得出答案為B。

11.C

12.C解析：第二段。下雪本身并不能引起雪崩。最后一段說雪崩可引起風，而不是風引起雪崩。雪花之間的摩擦說明積雪不牢固。只有選項C是正確的。

13.A解析：由第二自然段中句子“ThisismorepossiblenowthatAmericanhomeshavebecomelarger”可知，A正確。

14.C解析：從Thesunsailedhigherinthesky.Hecouldseethecavenow可以看出正確選項。

15.C解析：社會文化學者關注生活方式，風俗習慣等，選C。

16.B根據文中第一段第三句，可知LostSea是世界上最大的地下湖泊。

17.D37．答案為D

此題考查文章句意理解、細節(jié)定位。略讀文章，發(fā)現在第2段中有adifferentkindofbirdfluvirus．Itiscalledtheh-five-n-onevirus。注意其中的代詞it，它代表adifferentkindofbirdfluvirus，故選D為答案。

18.D解析：文章第三段提到whobecamefamousinthe1960sforrowinganopenboatacrosstheAtlanticOcean.故正確答案為D。

19.C解析：從短文的有關內容可以推斷出，Mum拿拖把拖地的目的是麻痹看門的護士，以便進病房看望Dagmar，所以C為正確。

20.A解析：最后一段提及BCD項，與A項含義不一致，故選A。

21.B

22.C

23.A

24.A參見文章最后一段第1，2句用淘汰法不難推斷出答案。B、C、D并不符合文章的原意，所以A正確。

25.B解析：第二段。從盈利的分配可以看出咖啡店的目的不是為了經營，而是為了支持當地的青年計劃。選項B是正確的。

26.B推理判斷題。

【應試指導】最后一段最后一句指出，一些大學的課程是實踐課而不是理論課，所以一些教授讓學生們在課堂上做陳述和討論的時候，他們想要去強調“做”。

27.A

28.B

29.B解析：細節(jié)題。由最后一段后半句可知B正確。

30.C解析：本題屬細節(jié)題。文章倒數第二句已明確點明。generationgap意思是：代溝。

31.C23．答案為C

根據本段后面的細節(jié)或第三、四段的段首句可知此處應為“贊成某事”而非反對，因此應選介詞for與argument搭配。

32.A解析：見上一條。

33.B表示讓步，甚至小學生都抱怨作業(yè)負擔。

34.B解析：天空中的星星非常漂亮，Ralph想伸出手來觸摸一下。只有B項正確。hit“擊，碰，撞”；knock“敲”。

35.A解析：根據后面列舉的詞，可以看出這里應是一種雞蛋的烹調方式。選項A是正確的。

36.A解析：也就是在新總統(tǒng)正式任職的前兩個星期在國會計票。

37.C解析：searchingly表示“銳利地，徹底地，探究地”。

38.B解析：本題屬詞選題。believe相信，talk討論，say說，均不符。只有know(了解)符合。

39.C客戶訂貨只需打個電話。副詞simply表示“簡單，僅僅”。

40.D解析：他說他是這個男孩的叔叔。因為這個男孩很像他的兄長，所以他認出他來了。

41.B解析：takepridein指“對……感到自豪……”。

42.A解析：選should，此處譯為“一些人認為警察不應該擁有他們既得的權力”。

43.C本題為關聯(lián)詞選擇題。so常引導表示結果的句子；that一般只能用在定語從句、賓語從句、主語從句或同位語從句中；sothat引導結果狀語從句或目的狀語從句；inorderthat引導目的狀語從句。根據句意，應選C。

44.B26．答案為B

根據上下文，“這種方法對考試中的學生尤其有幫助”。in代表在“考試中”。

45.B詞語搭配題。

【應試指導】makepeace意為“講和，調解”，符合句意。

46.A

47.C解析：本題考搭配。insiston意為“堅持”。

48.D該空后面的stillmoredifficult就是提示。

49.BThese肯定指的是前面所說的假橡膠樹。這段是用其他的例子說明其他很多東西我們都用的是代用品，橡膠樹當然也同樣可以。B項是正確的。

50.C根據上下文，清洗工作簡單，也不用下面提到的修枝、移植等，當然就省錢了。C項是正確的。

51.A20．答案為A。到現在為止，問題還遠遠沒有解決。befarfromdoingsth．“遠非……，”主語為物，用被動語態(tài)。

52.B本題考查El常交際用語。

【應試指導】句意：——你想讓我載你一程嗎?——太棒了!請到圖書館讓我下車。givesb．alift讓某人搭便車。

53.Deffect是“影響”，“對……的影響”要用effecton…，其他三個介詞都不對。

54.B本題考查情態(tài)動詞。

【應試指導】句意：我們也許沒有被證明是偉大的探險家，不過我們的前進是過去十年來最偉大的。“maynot+現在完成時”表示“也許沒有”，用于對過去或已經發(fā)生的事進行猜測?！皀eednl’t+現在完成時”表示“本來沒有必要”，表示過去不需要做某事。“shouldn’t+現在完成時”表示“本來不應該做而做了某事”。mustn’t不與現在完成時連用，只與動詞原形連用，表示“禁止，不要”。

55.D本題考查形容詞辨析。

句意：錯誤不是偶然發(fā)生的，它們發(fā)生是有原因的。找出原因，這樣所犯的錯誤就有價值了。worthwhile值得的，有價值的，符合句意。Favourable有利的，贊同的；precious珍貴的；essential必不可少的。

56.B解析：分詞短語作狀語時，其邏輯主語與句子主語相同，本句主語是I。選項B=WhenIreturnedtotheroom，Ifoundthebookmissing.

57.C解析：現在分詞短語describingatriptothemoon作book的定語。本題邏輯主語為writer，因此describe用現在分詞，表主動意義。

58.D

59.C這道題考查易混詞的用法。other表示“其他的”，使用時，其后接名詞。other有復數形式；特指時在其前加定冠詞；前面可加任何限定詞以及數量詞。others是other的復數形式，意思是“另外的人(物)，其他的人(物)”；another表示“另外一個”，表示單數泛指的意思；anyother的意思是“別的”，與所指或特指的一個或一不同的人或者物。根據題意，可知本題應該選擇C項。句意為：“孩子們應該被教會如何與他人相處。”

60.C解析：該題測試冠詞的用法。第1空后life為抽象名詞，泛指生物，相當于livingthings，故不與冠詞連用；第2空therightconditions指特定的適宜生物生存的條件，故與定冠詞連用。貴州省畢節(jié)地區(qū)成考專升本英語學校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
