問題1選項

A.refuted

B.defied

C.contradicted

D.disputed

【答案】B

【解析】動詞詞義辨析。refute反駁,駁斥;defy挑釁,不服從,公然反抗,還有使落空的意思;contradicted反駁,矛盾;disputed爭論,激烈辯論。句意：當她不能在同學面前回答問題時,她感到很落空并低下了頭。選項B符合句意。

2.單選題

TheConstitution（

）thePresident’stermofofficetofouryears.

問題1選項

A.limits

B.refrains

C.confines

D.restricts

【答案】A

【解析】句意:憲法規定總統的任期為4年。

考查近義詞辨析。四個選項均為對應動詞的三單形式。Limit限制，限定（一般指事先確定空間、時間或數量的極限）;refrain克制，避免,不及物動詞,后面跟介詞from;confine限制，禁閉（側重施加不可逾越的限制，有時暗示束縛、囚禁）;restrict限制，約束（指把某人或物限制在一定范圍之內）。此處側重指時間上的限制,故選A。

4.單選題

問題1選項

A.nobodyotherthan

B.nothingotherthan

C.noneotherthan

D.nototherthan

【答案】C

【解析】考查固定搭配。noneotherthan意為“不是別的而正是…”。句意：市長召集了他所有的職員，宣布新任命的總干事不是別人，正是他前妻的兒子。選項C符合句意。

5.單選題

Whilehewasbuildinghisarmyby（）newlocalforces,heconsistentlyfollowedthepracticeoftakingoverthesecorpsintactwiththeircommandersandindoctrinatingtheseleaderstoensuretheirallegiancetohimselfandhisownarmy.

問題1選項

A.incorporating

B.havingbeenincorporated

C.incorporated

D.beingincorporated

【答案】A

【解析】考查動詞詞義辨析。incorporate“合并，吸收”。incorporate這個動作是直接由句子的主語“he”來執行的，所以介詞by后面直接跟動詞的進行時。句意：當他通過……新的地方部隊來建立他的軍隊時，他一直遵循這樣的做法，即完整地接管這些部隊和他們的指揮官，并灌輸這些領導人以確保他們效忠于他自己和他自己的軍隊。因此A選項正確。

6.單選題

Ifeelobligatedtogivemyopiniononthesubject.

問題1選項

A.required

B.forbidden

C.determined

D.encouraged

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容詞詞義辨析。A選項requiredadj.必需的，必須的；B選項forbiddenadj.不被允許的，被禁止的；C選項determinedadj.堅決的，決定的；D選項encouragedadj.慫恿的，受到鼓舞的。句意：我認為我必須對這個話題發表自己的觀點。根據句意可知A選項正確。

7.單選題

Westernmedicine,（）scienceandpracticedbypeoplewithacademicinternationallyacceptedmedicaldegrees，isonlyoneofmanysystemsofhealing.

問題1選項

A.rootedin

B.originatedfrom

C.trappedin

D.indulgedin

【答案】A

【解析】考查動詞詞組辨析。rootin“來源于，起因于”；originatefrom“發源于，起源于”；trapin“受困于”；indulgein“沉溺于”。句意：西藥從科學發展而來，通過人們的實踐獲得國際認定的醫學地位，它只是眾多治療系統中的一種。originatefrom指一般意義上的來源于某地。rootin有“扎根于，根植于”的意思。所以選項A更恰當。

【答案】第1題:C

第2題:D

第3題:B

第4題:D

第5題:A

【解析】第1題:主旨大意題。題干意思是“這篇文章的主要觀點是……”。第一段指出Theeducationalexperienceofparentsisstillimportantwhenitcomestohowtoday’sstudentschooseanareaofstudyandwhattodoaftergraduation,accordingtoTheFuture-trackresearchintheUK.（根據英國未來研究中心的研究，當談到今天的學生如何選擇學習領域以及畢業后做什么時，父母的教育經歷仍然很重要），由此我們可知文章討論的是父母的教育經歷影響到子女受教育的程度以及職業選擇傾向。A項“父母的經歷對孩子的教育更重要”，內容表達的比較片面；B項“父母的職業對孩子的學位至關重要”，文章沒有提及；C項“學生接受高等教育的方式與其父母的教育經歷有關”符合文章大意；D項“學生的職業和就業前景是由他們的父母決定的”，表達太過絕對。故該題選C正確。

第2題:語義推測題。題干意思是“第四段中的He可能指的是……”。根據題干定位到文章第四段First-generationapplicantsweremorelikelytosaythattheircareerandemploymentprospectswereuppermostintheirmindsindecidingtogotouniversity.Aboutone-fifthofthisgroupgave“toenablemetogetagoodjob”astheirmainreasonforchoosingHE.（第一代申請者更傾向于聲稱他們的職業生涯和就業前景是他們決定上大學的最重要的因素；約五分之一的受訪大學生選擇它的主要原因是“為了找到一份好工作”），由此可推測，第二句中的“HE”指的就是第一句中的decidingtogotouniversity（決定上大學），即“高等教育”，所以D項“高等教育”符合題意。A項“健康教育”，該段沒有提到健康教育；B項“高就業”，內容與原文句子沖突；C項“哈里特?埃奇”這是后面提到的內容，與這里的內容無關。故該題選D正確。

第3題:細節推理題。題干意思是“來自非職業家庭的年輕人……”。根據題干定位到第五段Ayoungpersoncomingfromanon-professionalhouseholdwherefinancesarestretchedmayfindtheideaoflearningforitsownsaketobealuxury.Thisexplainstheexplosioninvocationalcourses.（來自經濟拮據的非職業家庭的年輕人可能會發現，為了學習而學習的想法是一種奢侈；這解釋了職業課程激增的原因），由此可推，來自非職業家庭的年輕人會因為經濟拮據而選擇職業課程，所以B項“更有可能選擇職業教育”符合。A項“獲得上大學助學金的可能性更小”，文章沒有提到助學金；C項“認為以學習為樂是一個好主意”，內容與原文相反，這些年輕人認為為了學習而學習是一種奢侈；D項“選擇攻讀專業學位”，來自非職業家庭的年輕人更多的選擇了職業教育，所以攻讀專業學位是不太可能。故該題選B正確。

第4題:細節推理題。題干意思是“KimBurnett和HarrietEdge在以下哪些方面有共同之處？”。根據題干定位到文章第六段AtPortsmouthUniversity,first-yearstudentKimBurnett,19,saysthatshespecificallychoseherdegreeinhealthresearchmanagementandpsychologytogetasecure,well-paidjob.HarrietEdge,20,studyingmedicineatManchesterUniversity,alsowantedjobsecurity.Herparentslackedcollegedegrees,thoughthefactthatheruncleisadoctorappearstohaveinfluencedherchoice.（在樸茨茅斯大學，19歲的大一學生KimBurnett說，為了找到一份穩定的高薪工作，她特意選擇了健康研究管理和心理學專業；20歲的HarrietEdge目前在曼徹斯特大學學醫，她也希望有穩定的工作；她的父母沒有大學學歷，但她的叔叔是一名醫生，這似乎影響了她的選擇），可知，KimBurnett為了得到好的工作選擇健康研究管理和心理學專業，HarrietEdge為了有穩定的個工作選擇學醫；從而可知KimBurnett和HarrietEdge都是為了得到工作而選擇學習專業，所以D項“他們都是為了保住工作而選擇學位的”符合題意。A項“他們都是由于家庭的影響而選擇了自己的專業”，只有HarrietEdge是由于家庭的影響；B項“他們都是大學一年級的學生”，原文沒有明確的說HarrietEdge也是大學一年級學生；C項“他們的父母都沒有大學學歷”，原文沒有提及KimBurnett的父母也沒有大學學歷。故該題選D正確。

第5題:推理判斷題。題干意思是“文章暗示了……”。文章第七段第一句提到Medicineisoneofthosefieldswhereit’sprettylikelyyou’llgetajobattheend.That’sabigplus,asthedebtlevelsafterfiveyearsofstudyaregoingtobefrightening（醫學是你最終很有可能找到工作的領域之一；這是一筆很大的附加費用，因為經過五年的學習，債務水平將令人恐懼），由此可以推斷，雖然醫學專業畢業后就業沒有問題，但是需要大額的學費開支，所以A項“獲得醫學學位的費用很高”符合題意。B項“對醫學的高等教育投資是不值得的”，這屬于斷章取義，第七段提到Thefactthat26percentofrespondentssaidthattheyneededmoreadviceimpliesthatsomestudentsmayendupfeelingthattheirhighereducationinvestmentwasnotworthwhile.（26%的受訪者表示，他們需要更多的建議，這意味著一些學生可能最終會覺得他們的高等教育投資不值得），由此可知，受訪者覺得高等教育投資不值得是因為對那些沒有接受高等教育的家庭傳統的人來說，因為父母沒有高等教育經歷，所以對于高等教育不是很看好，不僅僅是醫學上的高等教育；C項“一個沒有家庭醫學傳統的學生不太可能選擇醫學”和D項“醫學是每個有學位的人都能找到工作的領域”表達太過絕對。故該題選A正確。

9.單選題

AngusGrahamisthepersonwhocanadviseyoubest.___,heiscomingheretomorrow.

問題1選項

A.Itistrue

B.Evenso

C.Ineffect

D.Asamatteroffact

【答案】D

【解析】考查固定搭配。A選項Itistrue“不是固定搭配，代入到句中會出現句意錯誤，排除”；B選項Evenso“雖然如此，即使如此”；C選項Ineffect“實際上；生效”；D選項Asamatteroffact“事實上”。句意：安格斯?格雷厄姆是給你最好建議的人。___，他明天要來這里。本句表達“事實上，他明天要來這里”，因此D選項正確。

10.單選題

Packagingworkersseemtogofasterwhentheygettheir（）windafteracupofcoffee.

問題1選項

A.second

B.third

C.sixth

D.seventh

【答案】A

【解析】考查固定短語搭配。A選項second“（num.）第二；居第二位的；另外的；（adj.）第二的；另外的；次要的；（n.）秒；瞬間；第二名；二等品；（v.）支持，附議；臨時調派”；B選項third“（num.）第三；三分之一；（n.）三分之一；三等學位；（adj.）第三的；三分之一的”；C選項sixth“（n.）第六；（比賽或競賽的）第六名；六分之一；六年級；六度音程；六度音；（adj.）（與the連用）第六的，第六個的；六分之一的”；D選項seventh“（num.）第七；（n.）七分之一；（比賽或競賽的）第七名；第七（用來引出第七個要點或原因）；（音樂）七度音程，七度和弦；（adj.）第七的；七分之一的；（adv.）居第七位地；第七點（用來引出第七個要點或原因）”。根據固定搭配getone’ssecondwind“再度恢復精力和力量”可知該題選second。getthewindupsomeone“使受到驚嚇，使擔心害怕”。句意：包裝工人在喝了一杯咖啡后恢復了體力，工作速度變快了。因此A選項正確。

11.單選題

Accordingtotheperiodictable,______stillsomeelementsundiscovered.

問題1選項

A.itseemsthat

B.hereseem

C.thereseemtobe

D.itseemstobe

【答案】C

【解析】【試題解析】考查固定句型。句意：根據元素周期表，似乎仍有一些元素未被發現。A選項itseemsthat放進來that引導的主語從句缺主語，語法錯誤；B選項hereseem放進來句子缺主語，here不能充當主語成分；C選項thereseemtobe是therebe句型，當seem用于therebe結構時，其通常的表現形式為Thereseemstobe…，tobe可以省略，也可以保留，但以保留為多見；D選項itseemstobe中it指代不明確，用法錯誤。C選項thereseemtobe符合題意。因此C選項正確。

【答案】第1題:A

第2題:B

第3題:D

第4題:B

第5題:D

【解析】21、【試題答案】A

【試題解析】判斷推理題。由題干關鍵詞“women’sprogress”可定位到第一段的第一句話“Justoveradecadeintothe21stcentury,women’sprogresscanbecelebratedacrossarangeoffields”（21世紀剛剛過去10年，女性在各個領域都取得了進步），然后第一段緊接著介紹了女性取得了哪些進步。再根據第二段第一句話“Butholdtheapplause”（但是別急著鼓掌）可知第二段又講述了在某些國家女性的狀況沒有那么好。所以可以推測本題女性雖然取得了進步，但是還不夠，即A選項“還有需要進步的地方”；B、C、D選項沒有原文依據，所以排除。因此A選項正確。

22、【試題答案】B

【試題解析】判斷推理題。由題干“countrieshavewomenmadethegreatestprogress”可定位到第四段第一句話“CountrieswiththehighestscorestendtobeclusteredintheWest,wheregenderdiscriminationisagainstthelaw,andequalrightsareconstitutionallyenshrined(神圣化)”（得分最高的國家往往集中在西方，那里性別歧視是違法的以及憲法保護男女平等權利），所以B選項“婦女權利受到法律保護”說法正確。女性擔任國家最高職務不完全意味著總體上女性的生活會更好，所以可以排除A、C選項；D選項不符合題意。因此B選項正確。

23、【試題答案】D

【試題解析】判斷推理題。由題干關鍵詞“Newsweekrankings”定位到第三段的第二句話“Newsweekranked165countries”。根據上下文都是講的排名情況，再由第四段“Canadarankedthirdoverallbut26thinpower”可知是對前文的舉例說明，即“Someotherwisehigh-rankingcountrieshadrelativelylowscoresforpoliticalrepresentation”（其他一些排名靠前的國家在政治代表方面的得分相對較低），也就是表明加拿大的女性在政治代表方面的得分較低，因此D選項“她們在政治上的代表不足”符合題意。A、B、C選項與加拿大的情況無關，所以排除。因此D選項正確。

24、【試題答案】B

【試題解析】判斷推理題。由題干關鍵詞定位到本文的第四段。根據上下文可知，引用Anne-MarieGoetz的話是為了說明前面的內容，即第四段倒數第二句話“Doesthissuggestthatawomaninanation’stopofficetranslatestobetterlivesforwomeningeneral?Notexactly”（這是否意味著，女性擔任國家最高職務就意味著總體上女性的生活會更好？不完全是。）因此B選項“它不能保證這個國家的婦女過上更好的生活”說法正確。其余選項在原文中無相關表述。因此B選項正確。

25、【試題答案】D

【試題解析】判斷推理題。由題干關鍵詞“HillaryClinton”定位到第六段第二句話，緊接著第三句話為她的觀點即“‘Whenweliberatetheeconomicpotentialofwomen,weelevatetheeconomicperformanceofcommunities,nations,andtheworld,’shesaid…forallpeople”，以上均為maketheworldabetterplace的具體表現，但是總結來說就是D選項“挖掘女性經濟潛力”，且tap為harnessing的近義詞。A、B、C選項不是HillaryClinton的建議，她的建議主要是在經濟領域，所以排除。因此D選項正確。
