【答案】答：

英國以前的殖民政策導致了英語在世界各地的傳播。美國的廣泛影響又進一步加強了英語的廣泛使用。然而，英語作為國際語言的主導地位既是好事，也是壞事。一方面，它加速了一些語言的滅絕。人們一直在想是否有可能創(chuàng)造一種全球語言，從而有望結(jié)束那些語言引起的麻煩和沖突。不幸的是，因為某一語言的本族語者不愿意把另一種語言當作自己的母語，世界語言一致的嘗試收效甚微。拋棄自己的母語，就等于是抹掉自己民族的特色。

問題1選項

A.despite

B.evil

C.subject

D.crust

【答案】C

【解析】考查固定搭配。besubjectto“受支配，從屬于；常遭受……；有……傾向的”。A選項despite的常用搭配有indespiteof/despiteof不管，不顧；B選項evil的常用搭配有speakevilof說壞話；誹謗/doevil作惡；為非作歹；干壞事；造孽；D選項crust“地殼，地表，堅硬外殼”，常用固定搭配很少；句意：本產(chǎn)品（）更換，恕不另行通知。根據(jù)句意可知C選項更符合句意，因此C選項正確。

【答案】很多初到北京的外國人覺得忐忑不安，認為中國人不夠熱情。但我認為他們非常友好，這點很像西班牙人。當然他們說著不同的語言，有他們自己的價值和行為準則，但我不同意把他們看成是冷漠的人。一個人只是必須通過努力才能實現(xiàn)溝通，而絕不要武斷。

中國有沒有改變我的為人之道呢？噢，我都記不得我曾經(jīng)是個怎么樣的人，因為那時我是那么年輕，而30年是一段很長的時間。但我認為，我來這里見識了許多事情。我從中國人身上學到了百折不撓和不遺余力地工作。我被這些精神感染了。但我也學會了事物的相對性：凡事沒有絕對的好，也沒有絕對的壞。此外，是的，我還學會了等待的價值，還有把握機遇的意義。我學到了很多但我還將繼續(xù)學習。

盡管我在這里很長時間了，我不想說我具有兩種身份，一個西班牙人和一個中國人。本質(zhì)上講我是西班牙人，因為我在巴塞羅那出生成長。我在這里只是作為一個旁觀者。而我認為這樣很好。不是作為一個不知自己確切身份的人，而是一個具有參與感的人。盡管我的確相信一個外國人有可能變成中國人，因為中國具有一種強大的力量。但我不認為我曾一度成為中國人，我只能說，我能夠理解怎樣才算是中國人。

4.單選題

Thiscan（）somethingthatthestudentsmaynothavecomprehendedinEnglish.

問題1選項

A.signify

B.specify

C.clarify

D.testify

【答案】B

【解析】本題考查動詞辨析題。signify“表示；預示”；specify“指明；詳細說明”；clarify“闡明”；testify“證明”，根據(jù)“學生們可能沒有理解的”可知此處應該選用動詞specify，表示“詳細的解釋，說明”，故正確答案為選項B。句意為：這個能詳細地解釋一些學生們可能沒有理解的英語問題。

5.單選題

Ifyou（）thebottleandcigarettes,you’llbemuchhealthier.

問題1選項

A.takeoff

B.keepoff

C.getoff

D.setoff

【答案】B

【解析】短語辨析。句意：如果你酒瓶和煙，你會更健康。takeoff脫掉，起飛；keepoff擋住，禁食，不接近；getoff下車；setoff出發(fā)，（使）開始。因此，B項keepoff符合句意，在此表示“遠離，戒掉，不接近”。

6.單選題

Georgeisonlyastalking（）,hismotheristherealboss

問題1選項

A.horse

B.cat

C.duck

D.tiger

【答案】A

【解析】考查名詞辨析。A選項horse“馬，騎兵，腳架”；B選項cat“貓，貓科動物”；C選項duck“鴨子，鴨肉”；D選項tiger“老虎，兇暴的人”。stalkinghorse“用以掩人耳目的人(或物)，用以掩蔽的事物，(為試探對手支持率而推出的)掩護性候選人”。句意：喬治只是個幌子，他媽媽才是真正的老板。因此A選項正確。

7.單選題

Thechild’sparentswere______intoacceptingthedemandofthekidnappers.

問題1選項

A.pleaded

B.intoxicated

C.intimidated

D.besieged

【答案】C

【解析】考查動詞辨析。A項plead“借口，為……辯護，托稱”，B項intoxicate“（酒或毒品）（使）麻醉，（使）中毒”，C項intimidate“恐嚇，威脅，脅迫”，D項besiege“圍困，包圍，煩擾”。由kidnappers“綁匪”可知，空格處填入“恐嚇”符合語境。句意：孩子的父母受到恐嚇而接受了綁架者的要求。因此，該題選擇C項正確。

【答案】1.正如我們所見，如今社會醫(yī)療保健的重點已從治療疾病轉(zhuǎn)向預防疾病。

2.這個人沒有生病，甚至可能沒有患上任何特定疾病的風險，但是我們可以想象他可以更健康。

3.傳統(tǒng)上，醫(yī)學并沒有區(qū)分那些僅僅是“沒有生病”的人和那些身體非常健康并且注意身體特殊需求的人。

4.健康的人注意營養(yǎng)和運動，他們非常重視關(guān)注自身的身體狀況。

【答案】第1題:C

第2題:D

第3題:B

第4題:C

第5題:C

【解析】第1題:細節(jié)事實題。下面哪一個關(guān)于公眾對槍支的控制的陳述是正確的？選項A“它對犯罪與司法網(wǎng)創(chuàng)建的論壇的影響很小”；選項B“槍支控制的支持者和反對者都沒有引用學者的觀點”；選項C“主流社會科學家的觀點對其有很大的影響”；選項D“許多社會科學歷史學家目前不能夠參與其中”，根據(jù)文章第一段中“Ithasbeendominatedbymainstreamsocialscientistsandhistorians它被主流的社會科學家和歷史學家所主導”，可知社會科學歷史學家對犯罪與司法網(wǎng)所創(chuàng)建的論壇的影響極大，由此可知其對民眾的看法也具有很大的影響，可知正確答案為選項C。

第2題:推理判斷題。作者提到Kleck，Lott和Bellesiles是為了，選項A“說明他們對槍支控制問題上的影響力”；選項B“反駁個人擁有槍火會阻止暴力犯罪這個觀點”；選項C“支持槍支所有權(quán)會帶來犯罪這個理論”；選項D“論證為何槍支所有權(quán)的歷史研究的研究方法需要改善”，根據(jù)文章第一段中“Ithasbeendominatedbymainstreamsocialscientistsandhistorians,especiallyscholarssuchasGaryKleck,JohnLott,andMichaelBellesiles,whosework,despitepropoundflaws,ispoliticallycongenialtoeitheropponentsorproponentsofguncontrol.它被主流的社會科學家和歷史學家所主導，尤其是GaryKleck，JohnLott，和MichaelBellesiles這樣的學者，他們的理論盡管存在缺陷，但還是被槍支控制問題的反對者和支持者在政治上所擁護”，可知這些學者的觀點都存在其缺陷，之后作者在介紹他們的觀點的時候也會強調(diào)他們的觀點所存在的一些問題，文章最后一段中得出結(jié)論我們需要運用更好的研究方式，了解更多關(guān)于槍支使用權(quán)的歷史知識來更好地了解這個問題，所以作者引用Kleck，Lott和Bellesile是為了論證為何槍支所有權(quán)的歷史研究的研究方法需要改善，故正確答案為選項D。

第3題:推理判斷題。對JohnLott的主要批評是什么，選項A“提倡私人擁有槍支”；選項B“不是客觀的分析”；選項C“分析了一個錯誤的時間”；選項D“引用了可疑的數(shù)據(jù)”，根據(jù)文章第一段末尾“Hereportsonlyregressionmodelsthatsupporthisthesisandneglectstomentionthatechoofthosemodelsfindapositiverelationshipbetweenviolentcrimeandrealincome,andaninverserelationshipbetweenviolentcrimeandunemployment.他只報道了支持他的理論的回歸模型而沒有提及那些模型所反映出來的暴力犯罪與實際收入之間呈正相關(guān)，與失業(yè)問題呈反相關(guān)的問題”，由此可知JohnLott的理論不夠客觀，忽略了很多相關(guān)的因素，故正確答案為選項B。

第4題:推理判斷題。Bellesiles最有可能同意以下哪個觀點？選項A“應該加強槍支控制”；選項B“槍支和謀殺沒有任何關(guān)系”；選項C“槍支文化是美國殺人率高的原因”；選項D“早期的歷史學家提供的關(guān)于擁有槍支的數(shù)據(jù)是值得信賴的”，根據(jù)文章第二段中“Theresultwasanunprecedentedwaveofgun-relatedhomicidesthatnevertrulyabated.結(jié)果是前所未有的與槍支相關(guān)的殺人案，從來沒有真正緩解”，可知Bellesiles會同意的觀點是槍支提高了殺人率，故正確答案為選項C。

第5題:主旨大意題。這篇文章主要關(guān)于……選項A“解決公共爭端槍支管制”；選項B“描述了早期的研究對槍支管制的影響”；選項C“分析先前關(guān)于槍支控制的理論缺陷”；選項D“總結(jié)槍支控制的研究在近幾年內(nèi)的發(fā)展”，這篇文章首先在第一段中作者就提出主流的社會科學家與歷史學家的理論存在一些缺陷，并且在分析各學者的觀點的時候都指出了這些缺陷，結(jié)尾也提出我們需要改善研究方法，所以這篇文章主要是為了分析先前關(guān)于槍支控制的理論缺陷，故正確答案為選項C。

【答案】第1題:C

第2題:A

第3題:D

第4題:B

第5題:A

【解析】1.devotion出現(xiàn)在文章第二段第三句TheideabehinddevolutionwastorestorethebalancewithintheunionofnationsmakinguptheUnitedKingdom，該句提到為了恢復大不列顛各成員國之間的平衡而采取了權(quán)利下放，devolution是“權(quán)利下放”的意思。選項C提到的“創(chuàng)建一個更好的平等狀態(tài)”與“恢復各成員國間的平衡”意思相近，符合題意。

2.centrifugal出現(xiàn)在文章第二段最后一句abiggersayandtocountercentrifugalforcesthatseemedtothreatentheveryideaoftheunion，可推測centrifugal應與union意思相反，是威脅聯(lián)盟團結(jié)的事物，選項A“分離主義”符合題意。

3.文章第三段第一句TheWelshshowedlittleenthusiasmfordevolution提到威爾士人對權(quán)利下放熱情很低，但蘇格蘭人卻不一樣（WhereastheScotsvotedoverwhelmingly…）由此可知選項A是兩者的區(qū)別，排除；第三段第二句WhereastheScotsvotedoverwhelminglyforaparliament,thevoteforaWelshassemblyscrapedthroughbylessthanonepercentonaturnoutoflessthan25percent提到蘇格蘭以壓倒性的多數(shù)投票選舉會，而威爾士的投票人數(shù)低于了25%，選項B“投票選舉的出席人數(shù)”也是二者的區(qū)別，排除；第三段提到威爾士與蘇格蘭不同的地方之一是沒有立法權(quán)（Itcannot,unlikeitscounterpartinEdinburgh,enactlaws），選項C排除。因此，選項D符合題意。

4.文章第三段倒數(shù)第二句MeanwhileagrantofnearlytwomilliondollarsfromtheEuropeanUnionwilltacklepoverty提到威爾士從歐盟得到近兩百萬美元解決貧困問題。但是這里主要是對威爾士情況的介紹，并非國家地位復興的例子，所以選項B符合題意。

5.文章最后兩段提到DyfanJones的看法。他認為威爾士人天生缺乏信心（Therewasalmostagenetictendencyforlackofconfidence），接著提到了人們開始改變“Weusedtothink.Wecan’tdoanything,we'reonlyWelsh.NowIthinkthat’schanging”，他們變得有信心。由此可知，威爾士人的心態(tài)發(fā)生了變化。選項A符合題意。
