問題1選項

A.penal

B.panel

C.panelize

D.penalty

【答案】D

【解析】考查形近詞及詞義辨析。A項形容詞penal“刑事的、刑罰的”，B項名詞panel“儀表盤、陪審團”，C項動詞panelize“處罰、處刑”，D項名詞penalty“罰款、罰金”；句意：長途旅行不買票罰款200鎊。因此D選項正確。

問題1選項

A.establishedon

B.affiliatedon

C.originatedfrom

D.incorporatedwith

【答案】A

【解析】考查詞組辨析。belaidon意為“被放置在……上面”；beestablishedon意為“被建立在……上面”；沒有beaffiliatedon這樣的搭配，affiliate意為“使隸屬，加入”；beoriginatedfrom意為“源自于”；beincorporatedwith意為“與……合并”。

句意：美國社會建立在一個自然資源極其不穩(wěn)定的基礎(chǔ)上，這可能與環(huán)境的惡化有關(guān)。

【答案】第1題:D

第2題:D

第3題:B

第4題:A

第5題:C

【解析】1.細(xì)節(jié)事實題。A:在交流上是生動的,第一段指出:Themachinewouldnotbeapassiveparticipantbutwouldadditsownsuggestions,information,andopinions(這個機械將不是被動的參與者，而將會增加自己的建議、信息和意見),由此可知A項屬于理想伴侶機械的特點。B:在個性上有吸引力,由最后一段中“Thecomputer’sownpersonalitywouldbelivelyandimpressive...(這個電腦自己的個性將是充滿生氣且令人印象深刻……)可知B項屬于理想伴侶機械的特點。C:在表現(xiàn)上令人愉快,第一段指出:Theidealcompanionmachine—thecomputer—wouldnotonlylook,feel,andsoundfriendlybutwouldalsobeprogrammedtobehaveinapleasantmanner(想的伴侶機械（即電腦）將不僅僅在外表、感覺和聲音上是友好的，且還會被編程去以令人愉快的方式來表現(xiàn)),因此C屬于理想伴侶機械的特點。D:在行為上無法預(yù)測,由第一段中“yetthemachinewouldremainslightlyunpredictable(但是這個機械（即電腦）也仍然稍微有些不可預(yù)測)”可知D不符合原文所述。因此選D。

2.細(xì)節(jié)事實題。第二段指出:Thewholeprocesswouldbeaccomplishedinasubtlewaytoavoidgivinganimpressionofover-familiaritythatwouldbelikelytoproduceirritation(這整個過程（即人與電腦之間友誼形成的過程）將會以一種微妙的方式來實現(xiàn)，以便避免去給出一個將可能引起惱怒的過度親密的印象),因此D項“難以察覺的”正確。

3.細(xì)節(jié)事實題。A:能發(fā)起一段有趣的對話,第一段指出:itwouldsometimestaketheinitiativeindevelopingorchangingthetopic(它有時會主動提出或改變互動的活題),因此A項符合原文所述。B:受先前的交流影響,文章并未提及。C:準(zhǔn)備去了解人的生活,由第一段中“initsfirstencounteritmightbesomewhathesitant,butasitcametoknowtheuseritwouldprogresstoamorerelaxedandintimatestyle(在電腦首次與人進行互動時，它可能有些遲疑，但隨著對使用者的了解，在互動吋它會變得更放松且親密)”可知C項符合原文所述。D:有一個令人喜歡且能隨機應(yīng)變的個性,最后一段指出:itwoulddevelopinresponsetothatoftheuser.Withfeaturessuchasthese,themachinemightindeedbecomeaveryattractivesocialpartner(它會相應(yīng)使川者的性格來形成固己的性格。帶著如這些樣的性格，這個機械可能的確變成一個非常有吸引力的社會伙伴)。因此D符合原文所述。因此本題選B。

4.觀點態(tài)度題。從末段中“Withfeaturessuchasthese,themachinemightindeedbecomeaveryattractivesocialpartner(因為這些特征,這個機械可能的確變成一個非常有吸引力的社會伙伴)”可以看出作者持贊成的態(tài)度。故選A。

5.主旨大意題。作者在第一段提出“有感情的機械”這個話題及隨后段落“闡述有感情的機械與人在友誼形成方式及這種人造友誼帶來的好處,因此C項“有感情的機械”比較適合做文章標(biāo)題。

【答案】第1題:C

第2題:A

第3題:A

第4題:C

第5題:C

【解析】1.根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容可知選項A和D表述錯誤,選項B在文中沒有提及,只有選項C符合原文。

2.根據(jù)第一段最后一句"Somesocialworkers,...,thinkweareindangerofcarryingthisconceptofpersonalfreedomtothepointwhereseriousrisksarebeingtakenwiththehealthandsafetyoftheold."認(rèn)為我們持有個人自由的概念是危險的,因為這會給老年人的健康和安全帶來嚴(yán)重的風(fēng)險。也就是說他們認(rèn)為健康和安全比自由更重要。選項A符合原文。

3.根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容,將人的身體和汽車相比較,汽車需要的是機械保養(yǎng),而人需要手術(shù)進行治療,不管結(jié)果如何如何好,但過程是極度痛苦的。作者的潛在意思是,人能感到疼痛,但車卻不會,兩者完全沒有可比性,所以本題選A。

4.分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)并結(jié)合句意可知,"it"指的是上句中的"whetherageishappyorunpleasant"。所以選項C正確。

5.根據(jù)第二段的最后一句"Youcannotaskdoctorsorscientiststodecide,..."可知選項A錯誤;根據(jù)最后一段可知選項B錯誤;根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù)第二句"Isitmorallyrightto...thatitisdesignedtodie?"明知道這是死亡必須經(jīng)歷的過程,卻還是通過開發(fā)藥物來激發(fā)健忘的老思想,激活衰老的身體,這在道德上是正確的嗎?該句為反問句,說明作者對此是持懷疑的態(tài)度,所以選項C正確,選項D錯誤。

【答案】第1題:C

第2題:A

第3題:B

第4題:B

第5題:A

【解析】1.判斷推理題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位到第一段It’saself-examinationthathas,atvarioustimes,involvedissuesofresponsibility,creativefreedomandthecorporatebottomline.（這是一種自我反省，在不同時期，涉及到責(zé)任、創(chuàng)作自由和企業(yè)底線等問題。）通過這句話我們可以推測出，華納對于自己社會責(zé)任的無視，因此C選項“對社會責(zé)任的忽視”正確。而A選項“它提高了公司的股票價格”，這是確有其事，但并不是議員批評它的原因；B選項“它的靈魂的自我反省”，他們有沒有反省并不確定；D選項“它強調(diào)創(chuàng)作自由”，這個也不是參議員的觀點。

2.語義推測題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位到第三段Theflapoverrapisnotmakinglifeanyeasierforhim.（對他來說，說唱帶來的不安并沒有使生活變得更輕松。）并且后文講述了華納因為發(fā)行的一些說唱歌曲而遭到抨擊，因此說唱給他帶來的應(yīng)該是不好的事，因此A選項“爭論”正確。B選項“恐懼”，不符合原意；C選項“不幸，災(zāi)難”，語義過重；D選項“解決方案”，和原文不搭。

3.判斷推理題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位到第三段In1992,whenTimeWarnerwasunderfireforreleasingIce-T’sviolentrapsongCopKiller.（1992年，時代華納因發(fā)行Ice-T的暴力說唱歌曲《警察殺手》而遭到抨擊。）可知TimeWarner“引起民怨”，主要是因為他出版了鼓勵暴力的唱片。因此B選項“發(fā)布了一個宣揚暴力的唱片”正確。A選項“由于重組而被解雇的工人”；C選項“提倡街頭文化”以及D選項“挑戰(zhàn)民主社會的言論自由”都不正確。

4.判斷推理題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位到第四段butthereweresignsthatthechairmanwasbackingoffhishard-linestand,atleasttosomeextent.（但有跡象表明，主席正在放棄他的強硬立場，至少在某種程度上是這樣。）因此B選項“他緩和了語氣，提出了一些新方案”正確。A選項“堅定捍衛(wèi)言論自由的立場”；C選項“屈服于反對意見，從公司辭職”以及D選項“請求15名董事會成員無條件支持”都不是真實的。

5.判斷推理題。從最后一段Someofushaveknownformany,manyyearsthatthefreedomsundertheFirstAmendmentarenottotally（我們中的一些人已經(jīng)知道很多很多年了，第一修正案規(guī)定的自由并不是完全的），可知，憲法第一修正案中的言論自由不是沒有限制的，因此他們應(yīng)該同時考慮社會責(zé)任，對公司來說利益和社會責(zé)任通常不能兼顧。因此A選項“在公司里，利潤和社會責(zé)任很少能齊頭并進”正確。B選項“很少有人關(guān)心企業(yè)的責(zé)任”，過于片面；C選項“關(guān)于時代華納政策的辯論很快就會牽涉到其他公司”，沒有提及；D選項“時代華納董事會對公司的政策意見不一”，不是真正的內(nèi)涵。
