問題1選項

A.notcounting

B.nottocount

C.don'tcount

D.havingnotcounted

【答案】A

【解析】句意:不算上壞了的蘋果，這個籃子里只剩下10個蘋果了。

語法題?？疾楝F(xiàn)在分詞做伴隨狀語。句子前半句已經(jīng)完整,所以后半句用了count的現(xiàn)在分詞形式做伴隨狀語。

【答案】第1題:A

第2題:B

第3題:C

第4題:D

第5題:B

【解析】36.推理判斷題。定位到第一段Attheageoftwelveyears,thehumanbodyisatitsmostvigorous.Ithasyettoreachitsfullsizeandstrength,anditsownerhisorherfullintelligence,butatthisagethelikelihoodofdeathisleast.（人長到12歲時，身體處于最旺盛時期。雖然身材、力量和智力都還有待發(fā)展和完善，但這時候死亡的幾率最小。）因此可排除A選項“我們頭一個12年代表了人類發(fā)展的巔峰”。D選項“人們通常不太可能在12歲時死亡”符合原文，正確。B選項“當(dāng)人們想到衰老時，通常會不高興”，定位到第二段Itisoneofthemostunpleasantdiscoverieswhichweallmakethatwemustdeclineinthisway.（人類發(fā)現(xiàn)的最不愉快的一個事實是人必然會衰老。）由此可知，B選項符合題意。C選項“通常我們中只有少數(shù)人能活到八九十歲”，定位到第二段Someofuswilldiesooner,afewwilllivelonger—onintoaninthortenthdecade.（我們中的一些人會死得早一些，少數(shù)人會活得更長——活到九十、一百歲。）由此可知，C選項也符合題意。故選A。

37.詞義推測題。定位在第二段Someofuswilldiesooner,afewwilllivelonger—onintoaninthortenthdecade.Butthechancesareagainstit,andthereisavirtuallimitonhowlongwecanhopetoremainalive,howeverluckyandrobustweare.（我們中的一些人將死得早，很少人會活得更長，到第九個或第十個十年。但是這樣的幾率很小，我們所能期望的壽命實際上是有限度的，無論我們多幸運多強健。）由此可知it應(yīng)該指代前一句的內(nèi)容，很少人能夠活到第九個十年或者第十個十年。因此B選項“80歲后還活著”正確，符合題意。A選項“活到65歲”，C選項“在65歲前或80歲后死亡”，D選項“在65到80歲之間死去”均不符合題意，可排除。故選B。

38.客觀細(xì)節(jié)題。由關(guān)鍵詞ageing定位到第二段Thisdeclineinvigorwiththepassingoftimeiscalledageing.（這種活力隨著時間的流逝而衰退的現(xiàn)象叫作衰老。）和第一段中的weshallundergoaprogressivelossofourvigorandresistancewhich,thoughimperceptibleatfirst.（我們將經(jīng)歷精力和抵抗力逐漸衰退的過程，雖然在開始時難以覺察。）可知C選項“衰老是一種逐漸喪失活力和抵抗力的過程”正確，符合題意。A選項“衰老通常是一種老年死亡的現(xiàn)象”，B選項“人們不能再活下去了，這是一個事實”，D選項“衰老是一個人們?nèi)菀资艿郊膊」舻碾A段”均不符合衰老的定義描述，可排除。故選C。

39.推理判斷題。定位到第四段andmechanicalsystemslikeawoundwatch,orthesun,doinfactrunoutofenergyinaccordancewiththesecondlawofthermodynamics(熱力學(xué))(whetherthewholeuniversedoessoisamootpointatpresent).Butthesearenotanalogoustowhathappenswhenmanages.（機械系統(tǒng)，如一塊上發(fā)條的表，或者太陽，實際上的確會遵循熱力學(xué)第二定律耗盡能量（整個宇宙是否如此，目前是一個有爭議的問題）。但是這些和人類老化的情況并不相同。）可以推理出，人類的老化與機械裝置的老化是不同的。手表不能像人類的身體那樣進行自我修復(fù)，而人類的自我修復(fù)還可以在一定程度上緩解病痛、延長生命，所以D選項“人的衰老過程不同于機械的衰老過程”正確，符合題意。A選項“通常人們對衰老過程相當(dāng)熟悉”，B選項“所有動物和其他生物都要經(jīng)歷老化過程”，C選項“熱力學(xué)定律在老化過程中起作用”均與題意不符，故選D。

40.推理判斷題。本文從衰老起始時間（十二歲）入手，主要介紹了衰老過程的相關(guān)內(nèi)容。文中通過引用一些數(shù)據(jù)和使用對比等手段，說明了衰老的過程、必然性及其與機械裝置損耗的區(qū)別所在。由此可知，本文屬于說明文體。因此B選項“說明文”正確，符合題意。A選項“議論文”，C選項“記敘文”，D選項“描述文”，均不符合題意，故選B。

3.單選題

Inscientificstudies,supportingevidenceismuchmoresatisfyingtoreportthanarediscreditedhypotheses,but,infact,the（）oferrorsismorelikelytobe（）thanistheestablishmentofprobabletruth.

問題1選項

A.formulation,permitted

B.correction,ignored

C.detection,useful

D.accumulation,agreeable

【答案】D

【解析】考查名詞與形容詞辨析。A選項formulation，permitted“制訂，規(guī)劃；系統(tǒng)闡述；表達方式；制劑，配方”，“被允許的，可能的”；B選項correction，ignored“改正，修正”，“被忽視的；被忽略的”；C選項detection，useful“偵查，探測；發(fā)覺，發(fā)現(xiàn)；察覺”，“有用的，有益的；有幫助的”；D選項accumulation，agreeable“積聚，累積；堆積物”，“令人愉快的；適合的；和藹可親的”。句意：在科學(xué)研究中，報告支持的證據(jù)比不可信的假設(shè)更令人滿意，但事實上，錯誤的積累比可能真理的建立更容易令人滿意。因此D選項正確。

4.單選題

Thepolicechargedthemanwiththe（）ofthewatch.

問題1選項

A.steal

B.theft

C.thief

D.thesis

【答案】B

【解析】考查同形詞辨析。A選項steal“偷竊”，動詞；B選項theft“偷，盜竊”，名詞；C選項thief“小偷，竊賊”；D選項thesis“論文；論點”。句意：警察控告這名男子……了手表。本句的主語是Thepolice“警察”，謂語charged“控告”，賓語theman“這個男人”，with接賓語補足語。句中已經(jīng)有了謂語動詞，空格內(nèi)應(yīng)填入偷竊的名詞。chargesb.withsth.“控告某人某事”，因此B選項符合題意。

5.問答題

Thenewconflictismoredangerousthanthetraditionalonebetweenmanandhisfellowman,(A)wherethe(B)protagonistsatleastsharedacommonlanguage,but(C)whileitcomestothereactionsoftheecosystemstothe(D)onslaughtofmoderntechnology,thereisnocommonlanguage.

【答案】C；“while”改為“when”。

【解析】考查從句引導(dǎo)詞。句意：這種新的沖突比傳統(tǒng)的人與人之間的沖突更危險，在傳統(tǒng)的沖突中，主人公們至少有一種共同的語言，但在當(dāng)涉及到生態(tài)系統(tǒng)對現(xiàn)代技術(shù)沖擊的反應(yīng)時，卻沒有共同的語言。句中的“while”引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句，表示“當(dāng)……的時候”，而“while”引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句中謂語部分需為延續(xù)性動詞，為進行時態(tài)，“when”引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句既可以用延續(xù)性動詞也可以用短暫性動詞，既可以用一般時態(tài)也可以用進行時態(tài)，所以將“while”改為“when”。

6.單選題

Thesealcandivetoadepthofabout1600feetandremain（）foraslongasanhourandtenminutes.

問題1選項

A.breathless

B.fearless

C.submerged

D.unconscious

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容詞辨析。breathless屏息；fearless無畏的，大膽的；submerge沉浸，淹沒；unconscious無意識的。由前半句可知海豹可以在1600英尺的海里潛水，由dive及remain可推知海豹能保持屏息…。故A項符合題意。句意：海豹可以潛入1600英尺深的海里，并且能保持屏息一小時十分鐘。

7.單選題

Ifyoucannotattendthemeeting,pleasefindsomeoneto____foryou.

問題1選項

A.replace

B.substitute

C.displace

D.misplace

【答案】B

【解析】【選項釋義】

A.replace取代B.substitute代替

C.displace取代；替代D.misplace隨意擱置；亂放

【答案】B

【考查點】固定搭配。

【解題思路】substitutefor意為“代替；取代”。由句意“如果你不能參加會議，請找人……你?！笨芍摯钆浞暇湟猓鉃椤叭绻悴荒軈⒓訒h，請找人代替你。”因此選A。

【干擾項排除】

A選項replace“取代”，replacefor意為“將……取代成……”，不符合語境；

C選項displace“取代；替代”，不與for搭配；

D選項misplace“隨意擱置；亂放”不符合語境。

【句意】如果你不能參加會議，請找人代替你。

8.單選題

Tom（

）betterthantoaskDickforhelp.

問題1選項

A.shallknow

B.shouldn'tknow

C.hasknown

D.shouldhaveknown

【答案】D

【解析】考查虛擬語氣。shouldhave“本該”，表示本應(yīng)該做，實際上沒做，用虛擬語氣。句意：湯姆早就該知道不能去找迪克幫忙。選項D符合題意。

【答案】第1題:C

第2題:D

第3題:B

第4題:C

第5題:A

【解析】1.作者意圖題。原文首段最后一句和尾段的首句均有提及“經(jīng)濟學(xué)家們正在尋找更好的解決貧困問題的辦法”，由此可知，作者寫這篇文章的主要目的是為了尋找解決貧困問題的方法。選項C符合原文。

2.細(xì)節(jié)事實題。根據(jù)第二段的一、二句“Asthegeneralstandardoflivinginthecountryrises,thepovertylinedoes,too.Therefore,evenwithtoday'srelativelyhighstandardofliving,about10percentofthepeopleintheUnitedStatesarebelowthepovertyline.隨著這個國家的總體生活水平提高，貧困線也在提高。因此，即使在今天生活水平相對較高的情況下，仍有大約10%的美國人生活在貧困線以下。”可知，選項A和選項C符合原文；再根據(jù)第一段的第二句“Peoplewithincomesbelowthepovertylineareconsideredpoor.收入低于貧困線的人被認(rèn)為是窮人?！笨芍?，選項B符合原文；只有選項D在文中沒有信息提及。

3.細(xì)節(jié)事實題。原文第三段的前半部分提及“一方面，美國一半以上的窮人沒有資格工作。40%以上的窮人是兒童。根據(jù)法律規(guī)定，不滿16歲的兒童在許多行業(yè)都不能工作?！庇纱丝芍?，最主要的原因是這些兒童太小，沒有工作的權(quán)利，選項B符合原文。

4.細(xì)節(jié)事實題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容可知，美國大部分的窮人都沒有工作，是因為這些人不是老人就是小孩，沒有工作的能力，所以選項C符合題意。

5.判斷推理題。根據(jù)原文最后一段的內(nèi)容“Someeconomistsarelookingforbettersolutionstothepovertyproblem.However,atthepresenttime,manypeopledependonwelfareforaminimallyacceptablestandardofliving.一些經(jīng)濟學(xué)家正在尋找更好的解決貧困問題的辦法。然而，目前許多人依靠福利來維持最低限度的可接受的生活水平?！庇纱丝芍毨栴}并沒有找到更好的解決辦法，所以選項A正確。

10.單選題

問題1選項

A.attributor

B.distracter

C.destroyer

D.precursor

【答案】C

【解析】與自由主義者不同，他不認(rèn)為國家是一種二階現(xiàn)象，僅僅是公民社會中人們選擇做什么的推動者或保護者，或者是他們自由的破壞者。由“…or,alternatively”可知前后是截然相反的兩種角色，前者是enabler和protector，則saboteur與之是相對立的。A選項attributor“屬性；特質(zhì)”；B選項distracter“誤選項；干擾項”；C選項destroyer“破壞者”；D選項precursor“先驅(qū)，前導(dǎo)”。比較選項可知C選項符合題意。

11.單選題

問題1選項

A.number

D.numerous

考查形容詞辨析。number數(shù)字，號碼；numeral數(shù)字，數(shù)碼;numerable可數(shù)的，可計算的；numerous很多的，許多的。根據(jù)后面句意“但是沒有一個是真的”可知D符合句意。

12.單選題

Fumesfromtheexhaustofanautomobileare______.

問題1選項

A.notorious

B.anxious

C.noxious

D.delicious

【答案】C

【解析】考查形容詞辨析。A項notorious“聲名狼藉的、臭名昭著的”；B項anxious“焦慮的”；C項noxious“有害的、有毒的”；D項delicious“美味的”；句意：汽車排氣管排出的煙霧是有害的。因此該題C項正確。

【解析】形近詞詞義辨析。incredible“難以置信的,驚人的”;inevitable“必然的,不可避免的”;incredulous“懷疑的,不輕信的”;indifferent“漠不關(guān)心的,中立的”。句意:他聽到這個意外的消息時很不相信,但我最終還是讓他相信了。選項C符合語境。

第5題:D

【解析】1.事實細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干信息定位到第二段Forafewseconds,asshareoftradersmarkedMicrosoftdownandOracleup,EllisoncamewithinUS$200,000ofGates.（有那么幾秒鐘，當(dāng)交易員們認(rèn)為微軟股價下跌、甲骨文股價上漲時，埃里森的股價只比蓋茨便宜20萬美元。）因此B選項“埃里森比比爾?蓋茨身價少20萬美元”正確。A選項“埃里森和比爾?蓋茨一樣富有”不正確，文章討論的是他們的身價，而不是誰更有錢。C選項“埃里森比比爾?蓋茨更富有”，不正確，文章沒有給出這個信息；D選項“甲骨文比微軟有更多的錢”，根據(jù)埃里森的身價沒有比爾蓋茨高可以推斷甲骨文（埃里森的公司）應(yīng)該是沒有微軟更有錢的。

2.事實細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位到第三段UnlikeGates,heisnotbigoncharity,preferringtospendhismoneyinhisway.（與蓋茨不同的是，他不熱衷于慈善事業(yè)，更喜歡按自己的方式花錢。）因此C選項“在慈善事業(yè)上花的錢不多”正確。A選項“來自一個強大的家庭”在后文WhileGatescomesfromastrongfamily,Ellisonstilldoesnotknowwhohisfatherwas.（雖然蓋茨來自一個強大的家庭，但埃里森仍然不知道他的父親是誰。）A選項不正確；B選項“有一個貧窮的父親”，他甚至都不知道自己的父親是誰，不正確；D選項“出生在加利福尼亞”，后文說他自己駕車去了加利福尼亞，所以可以判斷他不是在這里出生的，錯誤。

3.事實細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位到第三段Hehashisownprivateairforce,amilitary-stylecrewbasedatSanJoseairportnearRedwoodCity,tohelphimflyhisGulfstreamVjet(withtwomarbledbathrooms).（他有自己的私人空軍，一個駐扎在雷德伍德城附近的圣何塞機場的軍事風(fēng)格的機組人員，幫助他駕駛灣流V型噴氣式飛機。）因此A選項是他的所有物；同樣在第三段aMarchettifighterplaneimportedfromItaly,andahandfulofotheraircraft,includingatrainerforhisson.（一架從意大利進口的馬爾切蒂戰(zhàn)斗機，以及其他幾架飛機，包括給他兒子的一名教練員。）因此B選項也是他的所有物；在第三段Hehasarelatively-modestPorscheBoxster,twospeciallyalteredMercedesandaUS$900,000silverMcLar
