參考答案

1.B解析：本文是介紹TakeOurDaughterstoworkDay這樣一個特殊的日子的設(shè)立及其作用，所以B項為最佳標(biāo)題。

2.C解析：從第三段可知，他研究了上千個不同年齡、不同職業(yè)的人的大腦。

3.B根據(jù)上下文推斷，以及文中提示的信息，bargain一詞正是指代了降價的商品。

4.C

5.C解析：見原文第一段。人們常常很難發(fā)現(xiàn)人的某種技術(shù)。

6.D解析：參見第三段。

7.B根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第一句的后半句可知B項正確。

8.B

9.C解析：第三段接著說科學(xué)家認(rèn)為感冒吃藥實際上對身體有害，所以，還是讓自身的能力去與病毒斗爭吧。

10.A事實細(xì)節(jié)題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】由文章第四段第一句話可知，Karen出院后活了11個月。

11.A解析：這道題問這篇文章的題目會是哪一個，考查的是對文章主旨大意的把握。需要綜觀全文，A選項LivingLongerorNot可以反映這篇文章的主旨，因為所有的討論都是圍繞這個主題展開的。若以B選項Science，TechnologyandLongLiving“科學(xué)、技術(shù)和長壽”為題，文章討論的應(yīng)是這三者的關(guān)系。C選項NoLimitforHumanLife的意思是“人類的生命是無限的”，文章中并沒有人持此觀點。D選項HealthyLifestyle.andLongLiving的意思是“健康的生活方式與長壽”，本文未涉及健康的生活方式的內(nèi)容，因此不選。

12.C解析：參見第二段：麥克風(fēng)放在房頂上是為了監(jiān)聽到打槍的聲音。

13.A解析：這篇文章講的是海水升溫將造成的后果。第一段，海水升溫的速度比預(yù)想得快；海水升溫則使水量加大，提升海水水位。

14.A

15.D解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。此題要求總結(jié)出“atypicalAmericanwoman”是怎樣的，可根據(jù)文章第一段“AtypicalAmericanwomanmaybe...Shemayalsobe...Shemaybe...”。

16.B參見最后一段。

17.B解析：見原文第二段。LeeWildes住在舊金山的一個小公寓里。

18.A解析：本題屬理解分析題。文章最后一句已明確提示。

19.C文章中說，中產(chǎn)階層的父母親因為自己的工作是開創(chuàng)性的，因此對其子女也就比較開放，希望他們充滿好奇。C項是正確的。

20.A參考文章第一段倒數(shù)第一句，“Mypointofviewis…”，可推知作者的觀點是A。

21.A

22.A解析：文章告訴讀者textbooks與其他文本的區(qū)別，屬于提供信息給讀者的文章，故選A。

23.D推理判斷題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】全文講述打盹的好處，所以本文的目的是勸人們學(xué)會打盹。

24.B解析：本題為綜合推理題。作者在第二段指出，不會是幾個世紀(jì)而只需要幾十年，機器人就將成為人類的對手并終將超過人類。而且，機器人還將會自我繁衍。

25.A解析：參見第四段。

26.A解析：本題關(guān)鍵是要理解repulsive前面的it是上一句的octopus，可推斷第二句和第三句關(guān)系是相反的。

27.D文中第四段第四句“…mostpeoplevisitAlaskainordertoseetheendlessbeautyofnature…”表明游客來Alaska是為了欣賞美麗的景色。

28.C本題是對有關(guān)人物細(xì)節(jié)信息的考查。其中關(guān)鍵詞是man．．．lift．．．was。首先，考生從選項中得知需判斷搭車人的身份。通過第1段倒數(shù)第2句中的．．．theman．．．inprisonforrobbery．．．brokenoutofprisontwodaysbefore了解到此人曾因搶劫而入獄，但又于兩天前越獄逃走。

A、B、D項都與文中內(nèi)容不符，應(yīng)被排除。唯有C項(越獄的犯人)合乎文中情節(jié)，是正確答案。

29.B參見文章第一句。

30.D33．答案為D

從句中Russiancities，suchas...可知這兩個詞是為城市舉例。

31.B

32.D解析：諾貝爾委員會表達(dá)了一個希望。

33.C解析：insistedondoingsth．堅持做某事。Insistedonmyleaving中的leaving為動名詞，my動名詞的邏輯主語。衣帽間的服務(wù)員堅持要我把自己的腿留在后面。

34.C現(xiàn)在完成時，havehad。強調(diào)結(jié)果，表示出了車禍就需要用手機與人聯(lián)系。

35.C31．答案為C

本題為詞義選擇題。A俱樂部，B經(jīng)歷、經(jīng)驗，C培訓(xùn)，D測試。

36.C33．Thought以為，believe相信(時態(tài)不對)，considered考慮，distrusted不相信。選項C是正確的。

37.D

38.A解析：敘述第二天發(fā)生的事。所以應(yīng)是第二天thenextday。

39.A

40.A解析：眾議院將選舉總統(tǒng)，而參議院將選出副總統(tǒng)。我們可以真正從一黨選出正總統(tǒng)，而另一黨選出副總統(tǒng)。

41.C句意為：從那以后，當(dāng)我開始對某人感到憤怒時，我就會想起他的話，然后平靜下來。would表示“意愿”。而should表示“應(yīng)該做……”；could表示“能夠做……”；might表示“或許，可能……”，均不合題意。

42.C詞匯題。副詞“additionally”放在句首意思是“加之”，故選C。

43.C解析：根據(jù)上下文，這里應(yīng)表達(dá)“當(dāng)……的時候”。

44.C解析：這個發(fā)現(xiàn)同他們讓我把腿留下一樣，都沒讓我感到驚奇。夢中的事是不會讓人感到驚奇的。

45.D27．答案為D。perform“執(zhí)行，履行”常與function，task，duty等搭配，perform.functions“起作用”正好符合句意。undertake“從事”、hold“舉行”、play“扮演”都不能構(gòu)成搭配。

46.A解析：lateron為固定短語，意為“后來”。

47.C

48.B解析：瑪麗住在英格蘭的南海岸。

49.D26．答案為D

本題為詞組固定搭配題。A.befondofsth．喜歡做某事，B.imaginedoingsth．，C.wishtodosth.，D.dreamofdoingsth．夢想做某事。

50.B

51.D本題考查強調(diào)句型。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：正是在3月15日的上午我在路上遇到了亨利。強調(diào)句型為Itis／was+被強調(diào)部分+that／wh0…。如果被強調(diào)部分為“人”，用who或whom，其他情況都用that。

52.A9．答案為A

主要測試lie和lay,的詞形變化，即：動詞原形過去式過去分詞現(xiàn)在分詞lie(躺)laylainlyinglie(說謊)liedliedlyinglay(產(chǎn)卵，放下)laidlaidlaying

53.D18．答案為D

我能用車把你帶到超市。take可表示“帶走，送”；send“送，寄”；pick“拾起”，單獨使用時不能表示搭車；ride“乘”。因此D為最佳選項。

54.Ctravel指“旅行”；voyage指“航行”；fly指“飛行，駕駛飛機”；journey指“旅程，路程”或“歷程”。所以選C。

55.A11．答案為A。她幫助那個老人上車。比較四個選項，只有into“到……里”，完整表達(dá)“進入車內(nèi)”的含義。on“在……上”；in“在……里”；to“朝……”。

56.D解析：本題為詞義辨析題。combine…with意為“把……聯(lián)合到一起”；include意為“包括”；keep意為“保持”；enclose意為“封上，把……裝入”。本句大意為：那位先生隨信捎上一個小天使。

57.A解析：comedown此處表“價格下降”。

58.B解析：這是由which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句。

59.B解析：source表“來源”。
