SectionIV社會文化篇答案與解析

Passage321答案與解析】本文從“時尚”這個字眼談起，說到和“時尚”有

關的社會生活方方面的事情。時尚隨著時代的改變而變化。尤其是在現代，時尚

變化之迅速令人慨嘆。短文最后說，新的時尚出現意味人們要購買一些新潮的東

西。因些，時尚總是與金錢相伴而生的。

1.Co由首段的兒句話可以推測出fashion有“時尚”、“流行”之意。故答案以

C為最佳。

2.Ao根據前面兒段所述，可知時尚即是新近的。選項A意為“網上沖浪”，

與其它幾個選項相比，顯然要時髦得多。故為正確答案。

3.D?答案源自"Wehearaboutthingsmuchmorequicklythaninthepast.

Newspapers,radios,telephonesandtelevisionsendinformationfromone

countrytoanotherinafewhours.”一句中。

4.Do文后的這句"Newfashionsmeanthatpeoplewillbuynewthings,so

youseethereismoneyinfashion."是本題的重要依據。

Passage33

【答案與解析】習語是最讓英語學習者感到頭疼的東西。本文講述了三個法

國人曲解英語習語的經歷，讀后讓人忍俊不禁。第一個法國人誤將"Lookout!”

理解為“向外看”（實際意義是“當心！"）；第二個法國人將“Allhandsondeck”誤認

為是“把手放到甲板上”的意思（實際上該短語的意思是“所有海員到甲板上集合）

第三名法國人對那位女仆話語中的“up”和“down”弄得昏了頭，以致于鬧了個“If

he'snotupandhe'snotdown,whereishe?”的笑話。

1.B.由英語知識或根據"Iputmyheadoutofawindowandabasinofwater

fellonme.Itseemsthat'Lookout'maymean'don'tlookout.”'可知。

2A根據整體意思及"…andsomeonewalkedonthem."可知這是集合的口

令。

3.B.文中"WhenIsay'He'snotupImean*hehasnotyetgotup'."一句已

經說得很明白。

400—686—2278我易家教提供?

4.C.*'...Imean'hehasnotyetcomedownstairs,”'這句話是解題的關鍵。

5.D.整篇文章講了三個由于對英語不很精通而誤解以致于鬧了笑話的故事。

行文間流露出作者對英語這門語言的“不可望文生義”發出了感嘆。選D既合題意

又具有極強的幽默味道。

Passage34

【答案與解析】在日常生活中，報紙起著十分重要的作用。通過翻閱報紙，人們可以了解天下大事。

由于城市、小鎮、農村之間存在著差別，每個地方出版發行的報紙是不相同的。報紙大多都有好幾個版面，

尤其是周末版，里面的內容包羅萬象，可以滿足不同層次人們的需要。

1.Do本題看似簡單，實則復雜，須閱讀完全文后方能解答得出。前三個選項都有斷章取義之嫌。

2.A。讀了標題可基本了解該短文的大概內容。A為最恰當的答案。

3.A。答案艮［J在Tnbigcitiestherearemanytypeswithseveraldifferenteditionseveryday.”中。

4.Bo根據“especiallyonSundayswhentheeditionislargerthanusual.”這?句話可推測出B為正確

答案。要注意onSundays這個短語，否則可能會誤選A。

5.Do由短文最后的“Therearebesidesthefrontpagewiththemostimportantnews,thesportsnews,

theamusementpage,abusinesspageandsoon.”這句話，可知電影屬于娛樂這一范疇。

Passage35

【答案與解析】這篇短文可能是一本英文詞典的“序言”，介紹了這本詞典的用途和使用方法。另外，

該文中還著重提到了AmericanEnglish和BritishEnglish在拼寫上存在的差異。

1.A.通過短文第一段的第一個句子，幾乎不費力氣就能選出正確答案。

2.D.此題需要仔細推敲第二段文字，通過理解段意（如果熟悉英文詞典或懂得?些英文詞典的使用常識

則可以直接進行選擇）和推敲四個選項的詞語意思而確定°All和One都屬于“走極端”的選項，不能入選；

Few本義是“兒乎沒有”，不符合文意，只有D項正確。

3C答案在第三段。文U」“while'color'isusedinAmericanEnglish."一給出明確答案。

4.C.通過文中“Weuseaspecialalphabet（特殊字母表）toshowpronunciation.”一句判斷。關鍵詞是

“pronunciation（發音）”，清楚這個詞的意思，我們無疑會選擇C。

5.C.應重點參考5—6段。實際上，第五段中己有股findoutthemeaningofaword—itsDEFINITION.^

“meaningofaword”中沒有生詞，那么，選擇對應的漢語“詞義”豈不易如反掌！

6.D.要讀完全文后，才能確認。因為文中提到的數字只有個“2000”，但它決不是詞典的收詞數，而

是用來“簡單解釋”詞義的用詞數。文中并沒有提及詞典的“收詞量”，因此，答案應該是D。

7.B.答案就在“Thismeansthatthedefinitionsofeventhemostdifficultwordsaresimplyexplained（簡

單解釋）andeasytounderstand.”一句中。選B最為恰當。

Passage36

【答案與解析】1932年第三屆冬季奧動會在美國舉辦時，第一枚紀念冬季奧運會開幕的郵票誕生了。

從此，每當舉辦冬季奧運會時，為其發行郵票成了?個不成文的規定。1936年第四屆冬季奧運會在德國舉

辦時，五環標志首次在冬季奧運會的郵票出現。在卜九世紀五十年代，為冬季奧運會發行的郵票更加豐富

多彩了。中國也為紀念首次參加冬季奧運會發行了郵票。值得提的是，日本是唯一的一個曾舉辦過冬季

奧運會的亞洲國家。為了給運動會集資，當時發行了一千多億張郵票。

1.A。本題屬表層理解題。答案即是短文第一句話。

2.Bo答案源自“ThefirststampsmarkingtheopeningcameoutonJanuary25,1932intheUnited

Statesforthe3rdWhite01ympics.”一句中。

3.Co根據"…onJanuary25,1932intheUnitedStatesforthe3rdWhiteOlympics.”這句話可知第三

屆奧運會是1932年舉行的，再由“Duringthe4thWinterOlympicGamesagroupofstampswerepublished

400—686-2278我易家教提供?

inGermanyinNovember1936.”可知第四屆奧運會是年舉行的。由此可以推測出奧運會是每四年舉行一次

的。答案為C。

4.C。“thehostcountriesaswellasthenon-hostcountriespublishedstampstomarkthoseGames.”

?句和下面的兒句是答案的出處。

5,Do短文最后一段是答案之所在。

Passage37

【答案與解析】這篇短文的大意是：1998年在法國舉行的世界杯足球賽實行了新的規則。比賽中使用

紅、白、黃三色相間的球。這種球由32塊皮革縫制而成，十分湊巧的是，當時正好有32支球隊參賽。足

球制造商在此之前提醒守門員，說這種球沿直線飛行，速度極快。試用一段時間之后，球員發現這種球與

傳統的黑白相間的二色球有很大不同。這種球更容易控制，但守門員很難抓到，在?場球賽中有可能進更

多的球。

1.A。根據短文開頭的三個句子并注意理解insteadof的意思，可得］出答案。

2.Co"Interestinglyenough,theFrenchnationalflaghappenstobeinthreecolors,too.Besides,32

teamswilltakepartinthecomingWorldCup.”?句是解題之關鍵。

3.Do由第一段的介紹，我們了解到足球在歷史上曾經用過黑白兩色球，且由8、12、18、26塊皮制

成。所以選
