thedevelopmentofthechildandwhattheycouldstandbywayof

undisciplinednoiseanddestructiveness.

A.paradox

B.junction

C.dilemma

D.premise

【答案】C

【解析】句意：家長們常常在他們認為對孩子發(fā)展有利的事情上和他們

所能忍受的無紀律的噪音和破壞之間面臨兩難的境地。dilemma“困境；

進退兩難”，用于表示在兩者之間難以抉擇的局面。paradox“悖論；自相

矛盾的話”。junction“連接；交叉點”。premise“前提”。

2.Tom’smothertriedhardtopersuadehimto______fromhisintentionto

investhissavingsinstockmarket.

A.pullout

B.giveup

C.drawin

D.backdown

【答案】D

【解析】句意：湯姆的母親極力勸說他讓他放棄把存款投進股市的念

頭。backdown“放棄；讓步”。pullout“離開；拔出”。giveup“放棄；交

出”。drawin“（汽車、火車）進站；吸引”。backdown和giveup均有“放

棄”之意：backdown后需跟介詞from表示放棄做某事；而giveup可直接

跟名詞或動名詞表示放棄做某事。因此，本題選擇D項。

A.glancing

B.peering

C.gazing

D.scanning

【解析】句意：由于有點近視，她有盯著人看的習慣。gaze“凝視；注

視”。glance“掃視；匆匆一瞥”。peer“凝視；盯著看”。scan“掃描；瀏

覽”。peerat和gazeat都有“凝視”的意思：peerat指瞇著眼睛仔細地或略

為吃力地看。gazeat指出于羨慕、感興趣、關心或驚異而長時間目不轉(zhuǎn)

睛地看。這里表示她因近視而長時間盯著人看的行為，因此選擇B項。

A.stimulate

B.renovate

C.arouse

【解析】句意：科學理論的一個重要特性是它能夠激起對某一話題的進

一步研究和思考。stimulate“刺激；激勵”。renovate“翻新；更新”。

arouse“喚醒；引起”。advocate“提倡，主張”。stimulate和arouse均有“激

起”之意：stimulate表示促進某事物的開始或進一步發(fā)展；而arouse則表

示激起某種情感。此處stimulate更符合語境，因此選A項。

5.Pleasedonotbe______byhisbadmannerssinceheismerelytryingto

attractattention.

A.disregarded

B.distorted

C.irritated

D.intervened

【解析】句意：請不要因為他的無禮而生氣，他不過是想引起別人的注

意。irritated“惱怒的，生氣的”。disregarded“無視的，不理會的”。

distorted“歪曲的；受到曲解的”。intervened“被干涉的”。

newjob.

的范圍。scope“范圍；眼界”。dimension“尺寸；規(guī)?！?。volume“體積；

容量”。magnitude“大??；重要性”。scope和dimension均有“范圍”的意

思：scope特指抽象上的范圍；而dimension則指具體地范圍，如尺寸

等。此處scope更符合語境，因此選D項。

attitudetowardcustomers.

A.impartial

B.mild

C.hostile

D.opposing

【答案】C

【解析】句意：經(jīng)理責備地看了一眼一個女售貨員，因為她對顧客的態(tài)

的”。mild“溫和的，柔和的”。opposing“反對的；相對的”。

9.Theirdemandforapayraisehasnottheslightest_______ofbeingmet.

A.prospect

B.prediction

C.prosperity

D.permission

【答案】A

【解析】句意：他們提出漲工資的要求沒有一點兒實現(xiàn)的可能。

prospect“預期；可能”。prediction“預報，預言”。prosperity“繁榮，興

旺”。permission“允許，同意”。這里prospectof表示“……的可能性”。

10.Thegirlwasso______thattheycouldfoolhereasily.

A.incredible

B.credible

11.Theequipment______outoforder,theproductionismadealmost

impossible.

A.is

B.being

C.was

D.istobe

【答案】B

【解析】句意：設備出現(xiàn)故障，幾乎不能進行生產(chǎn)了。本句考查獨立主

格結構，獨立主格結構多由名詞或代詞加上非謂語動詞（不定式、現(xiàn)在

分詞、過去分詞）構成，在句中充當狀語成分，由逗號與主句隔開。本

題中獨立主格的非謂語動詞只有B項現(xiàn)在分詞being符合，所以選擇B

項。

12.Allthings______becauseofthesnowstorm,manypassengerscoulddo

nothingbuttakethetrain.

A.hadbeencanceled

B.havebeencanceled

C.werecanceled

D.havingbeencanceled

【答案】D

【解析】句意：由于暴風雪，所有的行程都被取消了，許多乘客不得不

乘坐火車。本句考查非謂語動詞的現(xiàn)在完成時，現(xiàn)在完成時表示過去發(fā)

生的事情對現(xiàn)在的影響，根據(jù)題意暴風雪造成行程被取消，所以應用現(xiàn)

在完成時的被動態(tài)，四個選項中只有選項D是非謂語動詞，因此本題選

D項。

13.Themaninthecornerconfessedto______alietothemanagerofthe

company.

A.havetold

B.betold

C.beingtold

D.havingtold

【答案】D

【解析】句意：角落里的那個男人承認他對公司的經(jīng)理撒謊了。本句考

查動詞confess的用法，confessto加名詞或動詞的ing形式表示承認做了

某事，這里to為介詞。因為說謊是主動的行為，所以本題選D項。

14.Thephysicisthasmadeadiscovery,______ofgreatimportancetothe

progressofscienceandtechnology.

A.Ithinkwhichis

B.thatIthinkis

C.whichIthinkis

D.whichIthinkitis

【答案】C

【解析】句意：這個物理學家有了一個新發(fā)現(xiàn)，我認為這對于科學技術

的進步具有很大意義。本句考查非限制性定語從句，isofgreat

importancetotheprogressofscienceandtechnology是修飾adiscovery的非

限制性定語從句。從句中缺少一個主語，則用關系代詞which引導，且

放從句句首，從句中Ithink是插入語，不影響從句結構，因此本題選C

項。

15.After______seemedanendlesswait,itwasherturntoenterthe

personnelmanager’soffice.

A.that

B.there

C.what

D.it

【答案】C

【解析】句意：在看似無盡的等待之后，終于輪到了她進入人事經(jīng)理的

辦公室。本句考查由what引導的賓語從句，介詞after之后缺少賓語，而

seemedanendlesswait缺少一個主語，what在這里既引導了after后的賓語

從句，又在從句中充當主語的成分。因此本題選C項。

16.Fatcan’tchangeintomuscle______musclechangesintofat.

A.anymorethan

B.nomorethan

C.nolessthan

D.muchmorethan

【答案】A

【解析】句意：脂肪不能轉(zhuǎn)變成肌肉，正如同肌肉不能轉(zhuǎn)變成脂肪。

not…anymorethan…“正像……一樣也不……；不過，僅僅”。nomore

than“僅僅，不過；同……一樣不”。nolessthan“不少于，多達”。much

morethan“遠遠超過，不僅僅……”。not…anymorethan和nomorethan

表達的意思相同，但句子中can’t存在否定詞not，所以不能再用nomore

than，故應選A項。

17.IfyouhavereallybeenstudyingEnglishforsolong,it’sabouttimeyou

_____abletowritelettersinEnglish.

A.shouldbe

B.were

C.mustbe

D.are

【答案】B

【解析】句意：如果這么久以來你真的都在學習英語，那么你是時候可

以用英文寫信了。本句考查it’sabout/hightime，意為“是時候做……

了”，其后的從句應用虛擬語氣，謂語動詞要用一般過去時。因此本題

選B項。

18._____theflood,theshipwouldhavereacheditsdestinationontime.

A.Incaseof

B.Inspiteof

C.Becauseof

D.Butfor

【答案】D

【解析】句意：要不是因為洪水，船早就按時抵達了目的地。butfor要不

是；如果沒有，用于虛擬語氣。incaseof假設；如果發(fā)生。inspiteof盡

管，不顧。becauseof因為，由于。根據(jù)“theshipwouldhavereachedits

destinationontime”可推斷出這是對過去的虛擬，因此本題應選D項。

19.Theyareconsidering_____beforethepricesgoup.

A.ofbuyingthehouse

B.withbuyingthehouse

C.buyingthehouse

D.tobuythehouse

【答案】C

【解析】句意：他們正在考慮在房價上漲之前買套房。consider用作及物

動詞“考慮”時，其后可接名詞、代詞、動名詞等。因此本題選C項。

20.Wesuggested_____inhotelsbutthechildrenwereanxious_____out.

A.sleeping...tocamp

B.sleeping...camping

C.tosleep...tocamp

D.tosleep...camping

【答案】A

【解析】句意：我們建議在酒店睡覺，但是孩子們迫切地想在野外露

營。suggestdoingsth.表示“建議做某事”。beanxioustodosth.表示“急

于、渴望做某事”。因此本題選A項。

【答案與解析】

21.for→against

(根據(jù)句意，是與埃博拉進行斗爭，battle后應接against表示“與…的斗

爭”，所以應該將介詞for改為against。)

22.sending→send

(根據(jù)句意，移動電話作為設備可用于傳送信息。beusedtodosth.表

示“被用來做某事”，此處應用動詞原形，所以將sending改為send。)

23.informations→information

(information用作“信息”時為不可數(shù)名詞，所以應該將informations改為

information。)

24.because∧the→of

(because作為連詞，其后應跟句子，而這里because后面是名詞thedata，

所以應該在because后面增加of。becauseof作介詞“因為；由于”，其后可

跟名詞。)

25.or→and

(根據(jù)句意，手機公司利用電話數(shù)據(jù)記錄來管理他們的網(wǎng)絡，并且向顧

客收費。這里表示的是并列的關系，而非選擇的關系，所以應將or改為

and。)

26.calling→called

(這里calling表示的是主動的含義，但其前的名詞thenumber是無生命

體，不能發(fā)出撥打電話的動作，因此應將calling改為called，表示被撥打

的電話號碼。)

27.which→where

(根據(jù)句意，公司收集的其他數(shù)據(jù)能夠識別出手機的位置，盡管手機沒

有被使用。因此將which改為where。)

28.away→out

(根據(jù)句意，手機不斷地發(fā)出信號以便于獲悉其位置。sendaway是“派

遣；開除”的意思。sendout表示“發(fā)送，發(fā)出”。因此將away改為out。)

29.gone→been

(根據(jù)句意，基于人們過去的行蹤，電話數(shù)據(jù)記錄可以使流行病學家們

知道人們?nèi)ミ^哪里。havegoneto表示“去了某地還未回來”。havebeento

則表示“去過某地已經(jīng)回來”。這里應將gone改為been。)

30.have→has

(當動名詞作主語時，其謂語動詞應該用單數(shù)形式，所以應將have改為

has。)

【答案與解析】

31.D文章第二段詳細介紹了阿拉斯加管道的具體情況，如規(guī)模、形狀

等，第四段第一句也提到了它是目前為止私有企業(yè)進行的最浩大、最昂

貴的工程。因此可知全文是圍繞管道的建設展開的，并沒有提及它的運

行費用、員工和消費者，因此選D項。

32.A原文第一段第一句以theAlaskapipeline開始，介紹了它的起點、

范圍，最后介紹了尺寸及難以操作，由此可知最后一句中的it應與第二

句中的it同樣指代pipeline。因此本題選A項。

33.B根據(jù)第三段第一句可知，在H型的鐵架上，管道長長的一部分在

凍土地面上空呈“之”字形。由此可以推測出H型的鐵架對管道起到了支

撐的作用，因此本題選B項。

34.C由關鍵詞“決定管道路線的因素”可定位至第三段第三句，“The

patternofthepipeline’sup-and-downrouteisdeterminedby…”，管道的格

局是由嚴寒的氣候、復雜的地形和構造各異的土壤、巖石決定的。因此

本題選C項。

35.A最后一段倒數(shù)第二句提到“Eachcompanycontrolledoilrightsto

particularsharesoflandintheoilfieldsandpaidintothepipeline-

constructionfundaccordingtothesizeofitsholdings.”，各公司根據(jù)其持有

的油田份額而支付相應的建設費，因此本題選A項。

B.TheimportanceofBeingVisible

C.JobPerformanceandAdvancement

D.SexandCareerSuccess

【答案與解析】

36.B通讀全文后發(fā)現(xiàn)，大多數(shù)女性和少數(shù)族裔由于懼怕流言而在工作

中保持低調(diào)，但升職步入管理階層后，他們會對自己之前持有的信念產(chǎn)

生新的看法，并想做進一步探討。因此這里“thingsformerlyjudgedtobe

bestleftunsaid”應指與原先即有的信念相抵觸的想法，故選B項。

37.A第二段倒數(shù)第二句中，Coleman指出決定職業(yè)成功的因素有：表

現(xiàn)（10%）、形象（30%）和展現(xiàn)（60%），且最后一句提到晉升更多

取決于有多少職位高的人知道你并了解你的工作。由此可知本題應選A

項。

38.C根據(jù)第三段倒數(shù)第二句可知，“Mostwomenandblacksareso

frightenedthat…theyplaydowntheirvisibility.”大多數(shù)女性和黑人保持低

調(diào)，因為他們怕別人以為他們的晉升是由于性別或膚色。因此本題選C

項。

39.C第二段第一句中作者用novel“新奇的，新穎的”一詞來形容

Coleman的觀點，表明作者對他的觀點是持積極態(tài)度的，第三段開頭作

者又否定了他的觀點是荒謬的。因此可以推測出作者認為Coleman的觀

念是有見解的，故選C項。

40.B本文圍繞Coleman提出的決定職業(yè)成功的因素展開，集中討論了

展現(xiàn)自己這一點。文章最后一段的最后一句是對全文的總結，提出要學

習白人男性展現(xiàn)自己的方式。因此本題應選B項。

【答案與解析】

41.C由第一段最后一句可知，作者對于人們根據(jù)職業(yè)而對待他人的行

為感到失望。因此本題選C項。

42.A文章第二段中作者提到，一些顧客用不會對最熟悉的人的方式對

待服務員，結合自己作為服務員被呼來喚去、被抱怨的經(jīng)歷來看，作者

旨在表明一些顧客不懂得尊重服務員。因此本題選A項。

43.D根據(jù)第三段第二句可知，“Butat19yearsold,IbelievedIdeserved

inferiortreatmentfromprofessionaladults.”作者當時認為自己受到低等對

待是理所應當?shù)摹Ｒ虼吮绢}選D項。

44.B在倒數(shù)第二段中，作者提到服務行業(yè)是為了滿足他人的需求而存

在的，但是很多顧客卻分不清楚服務員和仆人的區(qū)別，這表明顧客傾向

于把服務員當作仆人對待。因此，作者意在暗示服務員不該被當作仆

人，故本題選B項。

45.A最后一段最后一句表明，“IthinkI’lltakethemtodinnerfirst,and

seehowtheytreatsomeonewhoseonlyjobistoservethem.”作者請人們吃

飯是為了看看他們會怎樣對待服務自己的人，借此可以看出他們是什么

樣的人。因此本題選A項。

D.Someagentsstopsendinginformationtopeopleoncetheyareemployed.

【答案與解析】

46.C由第一段可知，Redmon是利用“personalsearchagent”個人搜索代

理找到的工作，并不是通過在數(shù)據(jù)庫里搜索空缺、發(fā)布匹配職位或發(fā)送

個人簡歷。因此本題選C項。

47.A第三段第一句表明在找工作時應以較小的概念開始，然后再將其

擴大，但是專家指出這些搜索代理并沒有這么做，并且提出“There’sno

careercounselingimplicitinallofthis.”搜索代理沒有職業(yè)咨詢，表明這是

搜索代理的一個缺點。因此本題選A項。

48.D短語tipservice出現(xiàn)在第三段倒數(shù)第二句，分號前講利用代理及時

跟蹤數(shù)據(jù)庫的信息，分號后講把電子郵件當作提醒再次檢查數(shù)據(jù)庫，前

后概念意思重復。因此可推測tipservice應與reminder意思相同。因此本

題選D項。

49.B倒數(shù)第二段第一句表明，“Somesitesdesigntheiragentstotempt

jobhunterstoreturn.”一些網(wǎng)站設計代理是為了吸引求職者回訪，接著以

CareerSite’sagent只提供給求職者三個應聘選項為例支撐這一觀點。因

此本題選B項。

50.C根據(jù)最后一段第一句可知，“Eventhosewhoaren’thuntingforjobs

mayfindsearchagentsworthwhile.”搜索代理對已經(jīng)有工作的人來說也有

幫助。因此本題選C項。
