參考答案

1.A本文是通過具體的實(shí)驗(yàn)來得出一些關(guān)于人們行為的科學(xué)結(jié)論，因此A項(xiàng)正確。

2.C

3.B參見最后一段。

4.C此題為理解題。根據(jù)第2段第1句Anymistakemadeintheprintingofastampraisesitsvalueostampcollectors可以看出，對集郵者而言，郵票的印刷的任何錯誤都可使該郵票升值，故C為正確答案。A也能使其增值，但文中并沒有提及到。B不符常情。

5.D解析：本題屬主旨題。文章第一段第一、二句已明確點(diǎn)明：人口數(shù)量繼續(xù)增長，在未來30年內(nèi)將面臨一系列危機(jī)。

6.C根據(jù)文章第一段第二句可知本題選C項(xiàng)。

7.A解析：由下文凱特不明白納迪亞為什么懂英語而不說話，可以推知正確答案為A。

8.B本題為細(xì)節(jié)推理題。從第二段中"Onedayalazysailoronhisshippretendedtobeill..,andmadetheothersailorsdohiswork"可知水手裝病是不想干活。

9.D解析：本題屬細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第四段第六句已明確點(diǎn)明。

10.C

11.A

12.B

13.D37．答案為D

此題考查文章句意理解、細(xì)節(jié)定位。略讀文章，發(fā)現(xiàn)在第2段中有adifferentkindofbirdfluvirus．Itiscalledtheh-five-n-onevirus。注意其中的代詞it，它代表adifferentkindofbirdfluvirus，故選D為答案。

14.D解析：本題屬主旨判斷題。通讀全文之后，便知作者的目的是：生物死后的保護(hù)問題，并非A生命起源，B生命形式和C生命的發(fā)現(xiàn)。

15.C解析：見原文最后一段。當(dāng)報紙登了她們的故事后，大家才恍然大悟。一切都清楚了，問題也就容易解決了。

16.D解析：第1段6，7兩行是第一線索。文章最后表明作者本人也打算用電話了。由此可知。

17.A縱觀全文，我們看到老婦人憑借自己的聰明才智戰(zhàn)勝了狡猾的醫(yī)生。

18.B解析：第三段。從該單詞本身來看：re-前綴，表示反復(fù)；press壓。反復(fù)地壓意味著壓抑、壓制。Crash壓碎、鎮(zhèn)壓。選項(xiàng)B是正確的。

19.B事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】從第三段第一句可知，真正影響人們集中精力的是噪音級別的改變。

20.C

21.A

22.A本題為細(xì)節(jié)辨認(rèn)題。文章第三段第三句講到“Basiccoursesondoingresearchandwritingpapersaretaughtatthebeginningoftheprogram．”即：當(dāng)研究項(xiàng)目開始前，需要教授作調(diào)研和撰寫論文等基礎(chǔ)課程。

23.C解析：第二自然段后半部分寫到：“Amotherlessfamilymayalsobefatherless，butstillafamilywithoneadult．Thisisbecomingmorecommoninthebigcitieswhereagrandmotherwillraiseherdaughter'schildrenwhilethedaughtergoeselsewheretowork．”由此可見，本題選C。

24.D

25.C

26.B解析：可以通過排除法排除其余各項(xiàng)。

27.A解析：這道題要求選出適合本文的標(biāo)題，屬于考查掌握全文主旨大意能力的題。根據(jù)全文大意，主要講了兩種測試的內(nèi)容，因此A選項(xiàng)為本題答案。B和C選項(xiàng)均不是本文主要討論的話題，而D選項(xiàng)則犯了概括過寬的錯誤，因?yàn)楸疚牟⑽瓷婕帮w機(jī)制造和測試的全過程。

28.C第二段的最后一句話中“belowthewater”表明鱷魚是在水下殺死自己捕獲的獵物的。

29.C

30.B

31.A解析：lateron為固定短語，意為“后來”。

32.B解析：通過其后的冒號后面的內(nèi)容“15英鎊50便士”，便可得知該題選用B選項(xiàng)price。

33.Aextremely是“極其．非常”的意思。此處贊揚(yáng)警察的工作做得很好。

34.C解析：這是一個簡單的數(shù)字的不同說法。選項(xiàng)C是正確的。

35.A

36.D

37.C解析：cookedfor45peoplehotmeals=cookedhotmealsfor45people。A選項(xiàng)ordered的意思是“訂餐”，與其前的helpedinthekitchen“幫廚”的意思不相吻合，故不用。

38.C詞義辨析題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】然后他就開車走了，留下Johnny張著嘴巴凝視著他。

39.C

40.A解析：眾議院將選舉總統(tǒng)，而參議院將選出副總統(tǒng)。我們可以真正從一黨選出正總統(tǒng)，而另一黨選出副總統(tǒng)。

41.D該空后面的stillmoredifficult提示此處應(yīng)填difficult。

42.D通過常識了解句子所表達(dá)的意思。8個小時的睡眠對成年人來說足夠了，因此generally“一般來講”正確。

43.BOntheotherhand表示語意轉(zhuǎn)折。盡管通婚已不rare，但仍然uncommon。

44.A

45.B解析：與主語abigfan配合。

46.Cinterfere意為“干涉”；affect意為“影響，襲擊”protect；意為“保護(hù)”；suffer意為“遭受”。根據(jù)詞義，affect和suffer符合句意，但suffer不用作被動形式。

47.C解析：本題屬詞選題。這句話的意思是：一個獵手沿路砍下樹皮是為了能夠找到返回的路或者是能夠讓別人跟隨他。所以應(yīng)該選follow。

48.B

49.B解析：then在此起作結(jié)論之用，意為“因此”。

50.B解析：見上一條。

51.D本題考查情態(tài)動詞的用法。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：杰克把他的父親描述為一個意志堅(jiān)定的人，他的父親多年前肯定很勇敢。用musthavebeen表示對過去事情的肯定推測。

52.B10．答案為B

測試mind后接動名詞的用法。表示一個人被留在家里，應(yīng)用被動語態(tài)。

53.A本題考查情態(tài)動詞。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：那里沒有光，他們不可能在家。can’t表示對現(xiàn)在情況的猜測或判斷，意為“不可能”。mustn’t表示“禁止，不準(zhǔn)”，不用于表示猜測、推測或判斷。needn’t意為”沒必要”，表示沒有必要做某事。shouldn’t意為“不應(yīng)該”，表示不應(yīng)該做。

54.B根據(jù)題意應(yīng)選擇"沒有耐心"，moveabout是動詞短語，about為副詞。句中要說明人物是如何耐不住的，常用副詞。

55.C本題考查名詞性從句的引導(dǎo)詞。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：她對我們來說是非常重要的，我們已經(jīng)做好一切準(zhǔn)備來拯救她的生命。

whatever引導(dǎo)賓語從句，在從句中作賓語；用whichever引導(dǎo)，則表示“任何哪個”，與題意不符。

56.C

57.C解析：兩句話是因果關(guān)系。However“無論如何，不管怎樣，然而”；Otherwise“另外，否則”；Therefore“因此，所以”；Besides“此外，除此之外”。

58.C考查比較級。A項(xiàng)中修飾比較級bet—ter應(yīng)用much，B項(xiàng)中well應(yīng)改為good，D項(xiàng)中as…as之間應(yīng)用原級。故只有C項(xiàng)正確。

59.A解析：句意表示“不關(guān)我的事”，“我對此不關(guān)心，無動于衷”，故選A。

60.C解析：nowthat為連接詞，意為“既然”。山西省晉城市成考專升本英語學(xué)校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
