【答案】第1題:E
第2題:B
第3題:F
第4題:A
第5題:C
【解析】(1)第一段引出了人們對于未來的擔(dān)心,認(rèn)為老齡化將會帶來各種問題。第三段是對老齡化社會的肯定,認(rèn)為這是文明發(fā)展的結(jié)果。E選項(xiàng)剛好承上啟下。
(2)選項(xiàng)說牛津大學(xué)老齡化研究中心成立各個(gè)問題研究組。正好下段提到對myth的揭示。
(3)空前提到了healthservices,故選F。
(4)前面指出研究中心人員提出應(yīng)該給年長的人提供各種培訓(xùn)機(jī)會。因此此處選A項(xiàng)(研究表明不同年齡階段的勞動力的融合也有許多好處)合適。
(5)上一段中提出家庭關(guān)系會因?yàn)槔淆g化問題而使親人之間疏遠(yuǎn)的擔(dān)心,C中研究中心的倫理學(xué)家對這一問題進(jìn)行了佐證,年長者對家庭需要貢獻(xiàn)的角色越來越重要,所以這些擔(dān)心都是沒有必要的。
2.單選題
Generally,itisonlywhenanimalsaretrappedthatthey(
)toviolenceinordertoescape.
問題1選項(xiàng)
A.proceed
B.appeal
C.resort
D.incline
【答案】C
【解析】考查動詞詞義辨析。proceed“開始”;appeal“呼吁,請求”;resort“訴諸”;incline“傾向”。句意:通常,動物只有在他們受困想要逃跑的情況下才會采取攻擊行為。選項(xiàng)C符合題意。
3.單選題
Youshould(
)tooneormoreweeklymagazinessuchasTimeorPeople.
問題1選項(xiàng)
A.subscribe
B.order
C.prescribe
D.reclaim
【答案】A
【解析】考查動詞辨析。subscribe訂閱,后接介詞to;order定購,預(yù)定;prescribe開處方;reclaim改造,感化,回收利用;由weeklymagazines可知答案為A。句意:你應(yīng)該訂閱一本或更多的周刊雜志,比如《時(shí)代》或《人物》。答案A
4.單選題
Thereisno()forhardworkandperseveranceofyouwanttosucceed.
問題1選項(xiàng)
A.alteration
B.equivalent
C.alternative
D.substitute
【答案】C
【解析】本題考查了名詞的辨析。alteration“改變;變化”;equivalent“相等的”;alternative“可供選擇的事物”;substitute“代替”,根據(jù)“勤奮和堅(jiān)持”與“成功”之間的關(guān)系,我們可以知道一般來說“勤奮和堅(jiān)持”是“成功”的必要條件,所以想要成功,除了“勤奮和堅(jiān)持”之外就沒有別的選擇符合邏輯,故正確答案為選項(xiàng)C。句意為:你想成功的話,除了勤奮和堅(jiān)持之外你沒有別的選擇。
5.單選題
Thevastmajorityofpeopleinanygivenculturewill()totheestablishedstandardsofthatculture.
問題1選項(xiàng)
A.confine
B.conform
C.confront
D.confirm
【答案】B
【解析】考查動詞辨析。A選項(xiàng)confine“限制;禁閉”;B選項(xiàng)conform“符合;遵照;適應(yīng)環(huán)境”;C選項(xiàng)confront“面對;遭遇;比較”;D選項(xiàng)confirm“確認(rèn);確定;證實(shí)”。句意:在任何特定文化中的絕大多數(shù)人都將遵守該文化既定的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。空格處的動詞既要符合句意,又要與to構(gòu)成搭配。因此B項(xiàng)正確。Conformto表示“符合,遵照”。
6.填空題
Tomatoes,whentheywerefirstintroduced,wereconsideredeithermagicalorharmful,dependingonwhichschoolofthoughtyoulistened.Evenwithinlivingmemory,therewasatimewhenvegetableswereconsideredharmfulunless
A
B
C
D
cookedforlong.
【答案】Blistened改為listenedto
【解析】【考查點(diǎn)】固定搭配。
【解題思路】listenedto意思為“聽從”,為固定搭配,這里指的是認(rèn)為西紅柿是怎樣的,就看聽從對西紅柿的哪一種描述。
【句意】西紅柿剛被引進(jìn)時(shí),人們認(rèn)為它很神奇或者有害,這取決于你聽的是哪個(gè)學(xué)派的觀點(diǎn)。即使在現(xiàn)在,人們也有一段時(shí)間認(rèn)為蔬菜沒有經(jīng)過長時(shí)間的烹飪就是有害的。
