Whathehaddoneis.

A、value

B、ofvaluable

C、ofnovalue

D^ofnovaluable

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】of+nnadj,可以作表語。ofnovalue：沒有一點價值。value是名詞，

不能作表語，也不能形容主語的性質。B和D都是of+adj的結構，是錯誤的。

B、shegavehermoneytoAfricanAmericans

C>shegaveherlifesavingstohelpothersthroughuniversity

D、sheonlyspentmoneyoncheapthings

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】答案選C。only是絕對詞，在選項D中出現(xiàn)，根據(jù)經(jīng)驗排除D；對

照原文第一自然段最后一句話therewassomethingquiteexceptionalaboutthis

woman說她有些特別的地方，接著第二自然段就講Inthesummerof1995,

McCartygave$150,000,mostofthemoneyshehadsavedthroughoutherlife,to

theUniversityofSouthernMississippiinherhometown.她把大部分積攢的錢捐獻

C、They'relikealongnecklacethatstretchesbetweenNorthandSouthAmerica.

D、ButlifeontheCaribbeanIslandsisnotalwaysparadise.

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】第一句話說的是：加勒比群島形成了一個鎖鏈，把加勒比海與大西

洋的其他部分分開。答案是C,因為它的第一個詞是They"，該詞指"TheCaribbean

Islands"；而且在語義上也有很好的銜接。

A、True

B、False

C>NotGiven

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】答案選Co問題句說"Hillary的一個競選承諾是改革國家的醫(yī)療制度」

而本段只是說“女人做教育和醫(yī)療方面的工作有優(yōu)勢〃，沒有說Hillary的一個競選

承諾式改革國家的醫(yī)療制度，因此問題句的信息在文章中沒有被提到。

D,Lessthan3percent.

山或冰川的形式存在，還有的被污染，因而實際上人類能用的水要低于3%。

A、wouldbe

B、be

這項工作在今天下午五點鐘之前要完成。詳細解答：that引導同位語從句，說明

order的內容。同時從句要用虛擬語氣，從句謂語用should—動詞原形的形式，

should可以省略。

11

alarmclock,yourinternalclockcanbereset.Infact,itautomaticallyresetsitself

everyday.How?Byusingthelightitgetsthroughyoureyes.代詞it指代biological

A、capability

B、capacity

C>ability

D、facility

【正確答案】B

【答案解析】本題考查詞義辨析。ability主要指天賦的能力或應用知識的才能，

應該是屬于那種已經(jīng)具備并發(fā)展較快的能力。如"Hehasunusualabilityinscience"。

capability與ability不同的是，它不僅能用于人,也可用于物，如:Electronic

refinements,however;havegreatlyextendedtheusesandcapabilitiesofsomeof

theolderelectricaldevices.capacity指容納或吸收事物的能力，可用于人和物。

itnz/Thehallhasaseatingcapacityof500wo根據(jù)句意，本題應該選capacity。

冰箱大小的體積和所需數(shù)分鐘的時間形成了對比。即：目前它大約像冰箱那么大，

而且要用幾分鐘掃描一個電路，但是他們正在努力使它縮小到臺式計算機那么大,

把掃描時間縮短到30秒。

A、Unawarenessofenergycycles.

B、Familiarmonologues.

C、Achangeinafamilymember'senergycycle.

D、Attemptstocontroltheenergycycleofotherfamilymembers.

【正確答案】A

【答案解析】本題的關鍵是看懂本段的最后一句(即："Muchfamilyquarrellingends

whenhusbandsandwivesrealizewhattheseenergycyclesmean,andwhichcycle

eachmemberofthefamilyhas.w)?同時聯(lián)系本段的第四句和第五句(即："Forsome

peoplethepeakcomesduringthemorning.Forothersitcomesintheafternoonor

evening.〃)的意思。該句的直接意思是“如果丈夫和妻子能明白能量周期是怎么

回事，以及家庭每個成員有什么樣的周期，很多家庭爭吵就會停止」也就是說，

家庭爭吵的發(fā)生是因為丈夫和妻子不了解能量周期是怎么回事，更談不上了解每

個家庭成員有什么樣的能量周期了。因此A項：Unawarenessofenergycycles(不

知道能量周期)應是正確答案。
