【答案】第1題:A

第2題:C

第3題:D

第4題:A

第5題:B

【解析】1.事實細節題。根據第一段最后一句Itsoperationrequiresaclasssociety,forinitsessentialcharacteritdoesnotoccureitherinahomogeneoussocietylikeaprimitivegroup,orinacastesociety.（它的運作需要一個階級社會，因為從本質上講，它既不發生在原始群體那樣的同質社會，也不發生在種姓社會。），可知A選項“時尚起源于階級社會”正確，B選項“時尚只存在于群體生活的幾個領域”和C選項“時尚存在于每個社會”錯誤，時尚也不會存在于原始社會，D選項“在原始社會，人們喜歡趕時髦”錯誤。因此A選項正確。

2.推理判斷題。根據第二段第四句Hencethemoreexternalfeaturesoftheirlifeandbehaviorarelikelytobeimitatedbyclassesimmediatelybelowthem,who,inturn,areimitatedbygroupsimmediatelybelowtheminthesocialstructure.（因此，他們生活和行為的更多外在特征很可能被直接低于他們的階級所模仿，反過來，這些階級又被社會結構中直接低于他們的群體所模仿。），這里指的是社會精英，可知社會精英引領時尚，C選項“社會精英”正確。A選項“哲學家”，B選項“藝術家”和D選項“作家”正確。因此C選項正確。

3.語義推測題。根據第二段最后一句Itisprimarilythisfeaturethatmakesfashionintoamovementandwhichhasledonewritertoremarkthatafashion,oncelaunched,movestoitsdoom.（正是這一特點使時尚成為一種運動，也正是這一特點使得一位作家評論道，一種時尚一旦推出，就注定要滅亡。），可知時尚會消亡，也就不是真實的，D選項“一種時尚一旦推出就注定要消失”正確，A選項“時尚是一種真實的運動”和C選項“一種時尚一旦推出就永遠不會消失”錯誤。B選項“上層階級在使時尚成為運動中發揮了一點點作用”：上層階級是推動時尚的主要人群，不符合文章內容，故錯誤。因此D選項正確。

4.推理判斷題。根據第三段第一句Asamovement,fashionshowlittleresemblancetoanyoftheothermovementswhichwehaveconsidered.（作為一種運動，時尚與我們考慮過的其他運動幾乎沒有相似之處。），所以A選項“與其他運動沒有什么共同之處”正確。C選項“有一個強有力的領導引導”：根據文章倒數第二句itdoesnothavealeadershipimpartingconsciousdirectiontothemovement（沒有領導為運動提供有意識的方向），可知不符合文章內容。B選項“最終會發展成一個社會組織”和D選項“有一系列符號和價值”文章沒有提到。因此A選項正確。

5.推理判斷題。根據文章最后一句Peopletakepartinthefashionmovementvoluntarilyandinresponsetotheinterestingandpowerfulkindofcontrolwhichfashionimposesonthem.（人們自愿參加時尚運動，是對時尚強加給他們有趣而有力控制的一種響應。），可知時尚運動是一種對時尚的回應，他們通過時尚運動這種行為表達了對時尚的態度，B選項“是一種表達行為”正確。A選項“其功能與特定的社會運動相同”：根據第三段第一句Asamovement,fashionshowlittleresemblancetoanyoftheothermovementswhichwehaveconsidered.（作為一種運動，時尚與我們考慮過的其他運動幾乎沒有相似之處。），可知時尚運動和其他社會運動沒有相同之處。C選項“可以提高參與者的士氣”：根據第三段第五句Nomoraleisbuiltupamongthem.（他們沒有樹立起士氣。），可知時尚運動不能提高士氣。D選項“對人群行為的方式有很大的貢獻”文章沒有提到。因此B選項正確。

2.翻譯題

【答案】在我的一生中，法國文明從未有過如此重要的感覺。在接下來的幾周內，一旦第一波沖擊過去，誰應該對此負責，這場災難是如何發生的，哪些過失牽涉其中，將會有令人不快的爭論。但在那些沉默的,虔誠的,只需人群在巴黎街頭,我也看到了一個法國相遇了的可能性的決心重建不僅圣母院大教堂,也是一個國家遭受的暴力黃色背心運動和社會部門反映。巴黎圣母院的故事是一個關于忍耐和重生的故事。

3.單選題

Wearesurprisedtofindthathehasa(n)（）streak,withthetendencyofrememberingthewrongsdonetohim.

問題1選項

A.vengeful

B.invincible

C.vulnerable

D.violent

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容詞詞義辨析。vengeful“復仇的，報復的”；invincible“無敵的，不能征服的”；vulnerable“易受攻擊的”；violent“暴力的，猛烈的”。句意：我們驚訝地發現他有報復心理，他記著那些做了對不起他的事的人。選項A符合題意。

【答案】1.年輕的科學家們要盡快意識到現在的科學知識不像許多教科書所暗示的那樣全面、肯定以及不可改變。2.教科書很多普遍且絕對的真理最初只是作為接近真理或者某種特定情況下的真理而提出來的。

3.第一件事是認真閱讀由那些技術和評價都值得信任的調查者寫下的關于這個問題的原始論文或者書籍。4.沒有哪位偉大的科學家希望他的學生僅僅像錄音機似的原原本本地記錄下他的話語，從來不問問題，從不想對他教授的內容進行增添或削減。

5.最開始的觀察和實驗會失敗，但它們有助于開發合適的實驗技術，并且它們有助于年輕科學家更好地理解他們正在研究的文獻。

【答案】第1題:D

第2題:A

第3題:C

第4題:A

第5題:D

【解析】1.【試題答案】D

【試題解析】細節事實題。題干意思是“科幻小說之所以被稱為文學流派分支是因為……”。根據第三段最后一句Tosaythatsciencefictionisasubgenreofprosefictionthatistosaythatithasallthebasiccharacteristicsandservesthesamebasicfunctionsinmuchthesamewayasprosefictioningeneral—thatis,itsharesagreatdealwithallothernovelsandshortstories.（科幻小說是散文小說的一個分支，也就是說，它具有一般散文小說的所有基本特征和基本功能，即它與其他所有的小說和短篇故事有很多共同之處）可知，D項“它與其他類型的散文小說有共同的特點”正確；根據第一段Manypeopleseemtothinkthatsciencefictionistypifiedbythecoversofsomeoftheoldpulpmagazines…Thisisunfortunatebecauseitdemeansanddegradesaworthwhileandevenimportantliteraryendeavor.（許多人似乎認為科幻小說以一些老式低俗雜志的封面為代表……這是不幸的，因為它貶低了一個值得的，甚至是重要的文學努力）可知，科幻小說是重要的文學努力，A項“它還不夠重要去成為一種文學體裁”錯誤；根據第三段中的Thereareonlyafewdramaswhichcouldbecalledsciencefiction（只有少數戲劇可以被稱為科幻小說）可知，科幻小說可以以戲劇形式出現，B項“不能以戲劇的形式表演”錯誤；根據第三段第一句Thefirstpoint—thatsciencefictionisaliterarysubgenre—isaveryimportantone（科幻小說是文學的一個分支，這一點非常重要）可知，科幻小說就是屬于文學流派分支，C項“稱其為體裁會使它從屬于文學流派”也不符合原文。因此，該題選擇D項正確。

2.【試題答案】A

【試題解析】細節事實題。題干意思是“被低俗雜志推崇的科幻小說這一的觀點盡管是錯誤的，然而它卻是……”。根據第一段Manypeopleseemtothinkthatsciencefictionistypifiedbythecoversofsomeoftheoldpulpmagazines.（許多人似乎認為科幻小說以一些老式低俗雜志的封面為代表）可知，這種觀點是非常普遍的，A項“流行的，普遍的”正確；B項“瘋狂的”、C項“優雅的”和D項“準確的”表述都不夠準確。因此，該題選擇A項正確。

3.【試題答案】C

【試題解析】主旨大意題。題干意思是“這篇文章恰當的標題應該是……”。通讀全文可知，文章主要是闡述科幻小說的定義，即它和散文小說有共同的特點，屬于文學流派的分支，故C項“科幻小說的定義”最能概括全文；A項“關于低俗雜志的不準確性”和D項“散文小說的一種類型”都只是部分提及；B項“人與宇宙”沒有提到。因此，該題選擇C項正確。

4.【試題答案】A

【試題解析】推理判斷題。題干意思是“作者的定義表明，所有科幻小說都涉及……”。根據第三段最后一句ithasallthebasiccharacteristicsandservesthesamebasicfunctionsinmuchthesamewayasprosefictioningeneral—thatis,itsharesagreatdealwithallothernovelsandshortstories.（它具有一般散文小說的所有基本特征和基本功能，即它與其他所有的小說和短篇故事有很多共同之處）以及最后一段中的Themesinsciencefictionareconstructedandpresentedinexactlythesamewaysthatthemesaredealtwithinanyotherkindoffiction.（科幻小說中的主題的構建和呈現方式與其他任何類型的小說的主題處理方式完全相同）可以推斷，A項“與小說和短篇故事一樣的主題”是正確的；B項“不常見的或者是不尋常的事物”和D項“科學和小說間的沖突”在文中沒有根據；C項“KarelCapek著名的假設”，文中第三段只提到了Thereareonlyafewdramaswhichcouldbecalledsciencefiction,withKarelCapek’sRUR(Rossum’sUniversalRobots)beingtheonlyonethatiswellknown（只有少數戲劇可以被稱為科幻小說，其中KarelCapek的《Rossum’sUniversalRobots》是唯一著名的），可知C項無中生有。因此，該題選擇A項正確。

5.【試題答案】D

【試題解析】推理判斷題。題干意思是“文章最后一個句子的含義是……”。文章最后一句話是Inshort,thereasonsforreadingandenjoyingsciencefiction,andthewaysofstudyingandanalyzingit,arebasicallythesameastheywouldbeforanyotherstoryornovel.（簡而言之，閱讀和欣賞科幻小說的原因，以及研究和分析科幻小說的方式，基本上與閱讀其他故事或小說的方式相同）可知，閱讀和欣賞科幻小說的原因以及分析它的方式基本和其他故事或小說的方式基本相同，因此可以反推，能夠閱讀和分析小說的人也能讀科幻小說，故D項“那些能讀和分析小說的人也能讀科幻小說”符合題意；A項“喜歡科幻小說是有原因的”只是句子的一段信息，并不是該句的含義；B項“讀者應該求助于一般小說的評論”和C項“讀者沒有理由不喜歡科幻小說”在本句沒有提到。因此，該題選擇D項正確。

8.單選題

問題1選項

A.note

B.illustrate

C.mark

D.remember

【答案】C

【解析】句意:為紀念大教堂建造500周年，一場特殊的紀念儀式將在里面被舉行。

考查動詞辨析。Note注意,留意,指出;illustrate(用示例、圖畫等)說明,解釋,表明…真實;mark做記號,做標記,留下痕跡;remember回想起,記得,記起。分析題干可知此處表示“幾年500周年”,故選C。

第3題:D

第4題:B

第5題:D

【解析】1.根據第一段的第一句“...aminoritygroupwasseenasdifferentfromthecharacteristicsofthedominantmajoritydeterminedtheextentofthatgroup'sacceptance.”少數群體因其不同于占主導地位的多數群體的特征的程度決定了該群體被接受的程度。選項A符合原文。

2.根據第一段的最后一句“ThelargenumbersofimmigrantswithsignificantlydifferentcharacteristicstendedtobeviewedasathreattobasicAmericanvaluesandtheAmericanwayoflife.”大量具有明顯不同特征的移民往往被視為對美國基本價值觀和美國生活方式的威脅。選項C正確。

3.根據第四段的第一句“AmericanstriedtomeetwhattheysawasathreattotheirvaluesbyofferingEnglishinstructionforthenewimmigrantsandcitizenshipclassestoteachthembasicAmericanbeliefs.”為移民提供公民課程是因為美國希望移民們了解并保持美國的價值觀。選項D符合原文。

5.根據第六段的第三句“ThefactthattheUnitedStateshadarapidlyexpandingeconomyatthebeginningofthecenturymadeitpossibleforthesenewimmigrants,oftenwiththehelpofthebosses,tobettertheirstandardoflivingintheUnitedStates.”20世紀的移民生活水平提高主要原因還是美國經濟的快速發展，所以選項D正確。
