難度等

21.考察非謂語過去分詞，此處partsofourbodies和interpret之間是被動關(guān)系，故用過去分詞，

所以填interpreted,句意為：皮膚可能是我們身體中最不被正確解讀的部分之一。

22.考察情態(tài)動詞，此處可以表是“可能”；也可以表示習慣、傾向，可譯成“總是會，老

是"。本句意為“當我們談到健康的皮膚時，我們可能會想到一個干凈光滑的表面?！彼?/p>

以答案可以為might/may/willo

23.考察介詞，根據(jù)上下文，這里需要將皮膚與其他器官進行比較，需要“相似；類似；像”

的含義。句意為：但皮膚是一個有生命的器官，就像心臟、肺和其他復雜的器官一樣，有

很多功能，而不僅僅是表面的功能。故答案為likeo

24.考察代詞，根據(jù)上下文，此處缺少從句的主語。本句意為“來自太陽的紫外線非常強烈，

會破壞我們細胞的DNA"o答案為they,指代上文提到的“UVrays”。

25.考察狀語從句連接詞，根據(jù)上下文，此處應該表明讓步的含義，句意為：雖然我們的細胞

可以在一定程度上修復這種損傷，但隨著時間的推移，它會累積起來，并可能導致皮膚

癌。故答案可以是While/Although/Though。

26.考察謂語動詞被動語態(tài)。主句缺謂語，其中主語為skin,和expose之間是被動關(guān)系，時態(tài)為

一般現(xiàn)在時，所以填isexposed,句意為：我們的皮膚暴露在紫外線下時，顏色會變深，這

是顯示皮膚受損的一種方式。。

27.考察表語從句，根據(jù)上下文，本句中的代詞“they”指代上文提到的“pores”，意為“毛孔

可以讓汗水使你變得涼爽，讓潤膚油使皮膚變得光滑”，所以答案為whato

28.考察定語從句，此處先行詞為genes,從句中缺定語，所以填whose,句意為：孔隙大小很

大程度上由基因決定，其功能是攜帶特定特征的信息，很少改變。。

29.考察非謂語現(xiàn)在分詞，stopdoingsth.為固定搭配，“停止做某事”。所以此處在stop之后填

spending,句意為：不要再花錢買毛孔收縮產(chǎn)品了，用那些不會堵塞毛孔的產(chǎn)品洗臉吧。

30.考察不定冠詞。后文“organ”為可數(shù)名詞。此處句意：我們的皮膚是一個神奇的器官。故

答案為ano

難度等

31.H.alteredv.改變，改動空格前文說由于大量人力尤其是男性勞動力的缺乏，后文說他向

女性員工提供薪水,因此可知他改變了想法。

32.D.urgentadj.緊急的空格所填的詞性為形容詞，且應該跟后面的complicated意思相接

近，因此應該填urgento

33.I.fillingv.填充;填補由空格前文的內(nèi)容可知由于男性人力缺乏，女性開始從事一些男

性做的工作，因此這是在填補人力的空缺。

34.G.ignoringv,忽略；忽視空格所在段都是在講女性正在填補勞動力市場，那些之前男性占

統(tǒng)治地位的動作現(xiàn)在應該是已經(jīng)女性也能做了，即忽視性別上的

差異。

35.J.separateadj.分開的；單空格應該填的是一個形容詞，由于在建筑工地女性占比越來越大，

獨的因此雇主必須設(shè)立單獨的生活區(qū)。

36.B.totaln.總數(shù)這部分內(nèi)容從具體數(shù)據(jù)對比的角度說明如今女性勞力占比增加，

八年前女性勞力占總數(shù)的九分之一。

37.C.enrichedv.使充實；使空格應該填一個動詞的過去分詞的形式，空格前說女性勞力數(shù)量

豐富增加,工作種類也再增加，因此是充實了。

38.A.highlightingv.強調(diào)；國家媒體贊揚了女性作為司機和建筑工人這件事，因此也應該肯

突出定她們對經(jīng)濟做的貢獻,所以需要填一個帶有正態(tài)度的詞。

39.E.reliefn.救濟空格所在句主要講女司機在疫情期間給湖北省運送物資，此處需

要一個題來修飾物資,這里指的是救濟物資。

40.F.perspectiven.觀點;視空格應該填一個名詞，空格的內(nèi)容是一個女性工人說的話，這是她

角的觀點，因此填perspective.

42.C第二段講panicbutton如何操作：一旦遭襲，按壓工牌以激活個人追蹤tracing系統(tǒng)，通知安

全部門。線索在后一句：showingtheworker'sexactlocation.地理位置-追蹤

43.D立即彈出的警告alert會出現(xiàn)在醫(yī)院屏幕上，展示員工的確切位置。線索是上一句中的

“warn”

44.B此段講該button還出于試運行testing.線索為后一句：iftherearepositiveresults如果效果好
