1.Accordingtothispassage,intelligenceis.

A.theabilitytostudywell

B.theabilitytodowellinschool

C.theabilitytodealwithlife

D.theabilitytogethighscoresonsometests

答案:C［解析］從文章的第一段可知智力不是指某人在智力測驗中獲

得高分，也不是指在學校里成績優(yōu)異，而是指人的生活、行為方式,

尤其是面對新的環(huán)境或困境時。因此智力是指應(yīng)對生活的能力。

2.Inanewsituation,anintelligentperson.

A.knowsmoreaboutwhatmighthappentohim

B.issureoftheresulthewillget

C.concentratesonwhattodoaboutthesituation

D.caresmoreabouthimself

［大學英語考試復習資料］專升本英語分類模擬57

答案:C［解析］答案在文章的第二段："...wheninanewsituation,

anintelligentpersonthinksaboutthesituation,notabout

himselforwhatmighthappentohim.Hetriestofindoutall

hecan,andthenheactsimmediatelyandtriestodo

somethingaboutit."因此面對新的局面，智商高的人會想著如何

去應(yīng)對。

3.Ifanintelligentpersonfailed,hewould.

A.trynottofeelashamed

B.learnfromhisexperiences

C.trytoregretasmuchaspossible

D.makesurewhatresulthewouldget

答案:B［解析］答案在文章的第二段："...ifhecan'tmakethings

workoutright,hedoesn'tfeelashamedthathefailed;hejust

triestolearnfromhismistakes?因此,如果一^個聰明人失敗了,

他會從失敗中學到東西。

4.Brightchildrenandnot-brightchildren.

A.aretwodifferenttypesofchildren

B.aredifferentmainlyintheirdegreeofcleverness

C.havedifferenceonlyintheirwayofthinking

D.havedifferentknowledgeabouttheworld

答案:A［解析］答案在文章的最后一段。"Theyareactuallytwo

differentkindsofpeople,notjustthesamekindwithdifferent

［大學英語考試復習資料］專升本英語分類模擬57

amountofintelligence."因此聰明和不聰明的孩子實際是兩種不

同類型的人。

5.Theauthorofthispassagewillprobablycontinuetotalk

about.

A.howtodeterminewhatintelligenceis

B.howeducationshouldbefound

C.howtosolvepracticalproblems

D.howanunintelligentpersonshouldbetaught

答案:D［解析］文章前兩段分別談到了聰明人的行為表現(xiàn)，并舉例說

明了他們失敗后會怎樣;最后一段談到聰明和不聰明的孩子實際上是

兩種不同類型的人，因此可以斷定下面應(yīng)該談如何教育不聰明的孩子

了。

suchneedsashousingandclothingonlywhen.

A.hehassavedupenoughmoney

B.hehasgrowndissatisfiedwithhissimpleshelter

C.hehassatisfiedhishunger

D.hehaslearnedtobuildhouses

答案:C［解析］本題答案對應(yīng)于第一、三段。文章的第一段提到一個人

有了吃的就會想到再要件衣服,第三段又說最基本的需求是食物，這

個層次的需求得到滿足后人就會考慮服裝和住的地方。綜合判斷，所

以選C,即他不再饑餓后就會產(chǎn)生對住處和衣服的需求。

7.Itcanbeinferredfromthepassagethatbytheendof

WorldWarn,mostAmericans.

A.wereveryrich

B.livedinpoverty

C.hadthegoodthingsonthefirstthreelevels

D.didnotownautomobiles

答案:D［解析］文章第三段中說第二次世界大戰(zhàn)結(jié)束時，對于大多數(shù)

美國人來說，食品、服裝以及住所的需求都滿足了，然后第三個層次

［大學英語考試復習資料］專升本英語分類模擬57

的需求，包括汽車和新房子便出現(xiàn)了。這說明第二次世界大戰(zhàn)結(jié)束時

大多數(shù)美國人還沒有汽車。A項"很富有"，意思不明。B項"生活

在貧困中"，不符合文意。C項"滿足了前三個層次的需求"，也不

正確，因為這時第三個層次的需求才剛剛出現(xiàn)。

8.WhichofthefollowingisNOTrelatedto"physical

satisfaction"?

A.Asuccessfulcareer.

B.Acomfortablehome.

C.Agoodmeal.

D.Afamilycar.

答案:A［解析］本題答案對應(yīng)于文章的第四段，第四段第三行說

physicalsatisfaction包括食物、舒適、安全感、交通工具,在B、

C、D中都有體現(xiàn)。故選A。

9.Whatisthemainconcernofmanonthefourthlevel?

A.Themoregoodsthebetter.

B.Themorementalsatisfactionthebetter.

C.Themore"luxury"itemsthebetter.

D.Themoreearningsthebetter.

答案:B［解析］本題答案對應(yīng)文章第四段，其中第三句說到："...this

levelstressesmentalneeds..?,也就是說第四個層次的需求強調(diào)

的是精神需求，所以選

Be

10.Theauthortendstothinkthatthefifthlevel.

［大學英語考試復習資料］專升本英語分類模擬57

A.wouldbelittlebetterthanthefourthlevel

B.maybealotmoredesirablethanthefirstfour

C.canbethelastandmostsatisfyinglevel

D.willbecomeattainablebeforethegovernmenttakesactions

答案:B［解析］本題考查考生對作者意思的整體把握。先看A項"比

第四個層次要好一些"，意思含糊。C項”是最終的、最令人滿意的

需求層次"，太絕對。D項"在政府采取行動之前就能實現(xiàn)"，不合

文意。文章說第五個層次的需求要通過集體行動實現(xiàn)，即人們付錢給

政府，讓其對抗疾病、愚昧、犯罪與不公。可見這要在政府采取行動

后實現(xiàn)。而B項的意思是"比前四個層次的需求更值得擁有"，這是

正確的。

11.Accordingtothewriter;newspapersare.

A.morepopulartoday

B.lesspopulartoday

C.aspopularasbefore

0.gettingmoreandmorepopular

答案:B［解析］文章首句說到:"Newspapersarenotnearlyas

［大學英語考試復習資料］專升本英語分類模擬57

populartodayastheywereinthepast."（今天的報紙不像過去那

樣受歡迎了）。因此正確答案為B。

12.Editorsthinktheimportantpartofthepaperis.

A.theheadlines

B.thesportspage

C.thefrontpage

D.theclassifiedadvertisements

答案:C［解析］根據(jù)第一段中第八句："Thesetechniquesareused

onthefrontpagebecauseitisthefirstthingyouseewhen

youpickupthep叩er."可知，這些技術(shù)（圖片和令人激動的標題）

一般都用于頭版，因為頭版是讀者最先看到的，因此可吸引讀者繼續(xù)

看下去。故選C。

13.Accordingtothearticle,mostpeoplereadallofthe

A.therealnews

B.thesportspage

C.comics

答案:A［解析］從第一段第三句:"Mostpeoplereadonlythe

sportspages,theadviceorgossipcolumns...classified

advertisement.Mostpeopledon'ttakethetimetoreadthe

［大學英語考試復習資料］專升本英語分類模擬57

14.Todaymorepeoplegetnewsfrom.

A.newspapers

B.radio

C.television

D.bothAandB

答案:C［解析］從第一段最后："Theysaytheygetthenewson

thetelevisionnow."可知，更多的消息是來自電視。因此選C。

15.Theauthor'sattitudetowardnewspaperis.

A.sympathetic

B.critical

C.negative

0.undetermined

答案:B［解析］從文章中作者說報紙已不像過去那樣受歡迎了，及所作

的描述可知，作者的態(tài)度是同情的。

D.Verbalabilitycaneasilybedevelopedwithpropermethods.

答案:D［解析］本題答案在第一段:Byadoptingafewsimple

孩子讀書的時候，通過采用一些簡單的方法可以極大提高孩子的語言

能力。因此可以得出這樣的結(jié)論：語言能力可以通過適當?shù)姆椒ㄝp松

17.Whatdoes"it"inline2canmostprobablybereplacedby?

A.Parentsincreasingchildren'slanguagedevelopment.

B.Readingtechniquesbeingsimple.

C.Parentsreadingtochildren.

0.Children'sintelligencedevelopment.

答案:A［解析］根據(jù)文章第一段第一句和第三句中的children's

languagedevelopment部分，可以看出it指父母能提高孩子的語

言能力。代詞的指代內(nèi)容一般應(yīng)從該句的上下句中找。

18.Accordingtotheauthor,whichofthefollowingquestions

A.Doyouseetheelephant?

B.Istheelephantinthecage?

［大學英語考試復習資料］專升本英語分類模擬57

theparentsweregivenatwo-hourtrainingsessioninwhich

theyweretaughttoaskopen-endedquestionsratherthan

yes-or-noquestions.即在實驗組里,對家長進行了兩小時的培訓，

讓他們學會向孩子們提一些開放式問題，而不是問用"是或不是"回

答的問題。再根據(jù)下文提問的舉例可推出家長提出的最好的問題應(yīng)該

是：Whatanimalsdoyoulike?（你喜歡什么樣的動物?）C為正確答

案。

19.Thedifferencebetweenthecontrolgroupandthe

experimentalgroupwas.

A.thetrainingthatparentsreceived

B.theageofthechildren

C.thebooksthatwereread

D.thenumberofthechildren

答案:A［解析］本題答案在第二段第三句：Intheexperimental

group,theparentsweregivenatwo-hourtrainingsession...（在

實驗組里，對家長進行了兩小時的培訓……）文章的調(diào)查研究中把孩子

及其家長分成兩組，顯然區(qū)別在于實驗組里的家長接受了培訓。

C.GreatBritain

0.Ireland

答案:B［解析］關(guān)鍵詞語是wasfirstspoken。首先應(yīng)迅速找出該詞語

A.lotsofpeoplegoshoppingfordiscount

B.peoplehavealotofmoneytospendafterChristmas

C.alltheshopscloseforatwo-weekChristmasholiday

D.peopledon'thaveenoughmoneytogolookingforbargains

答案:A［解析］其中A項中的關(guān)鍵詞為discount,它的意思是

"reductioninprice"（降價）,與文章第一段中"Alltheshops

reducetheirprices."的意思相一致，故A項是正確的。其他三個

選項都不符合文章的意思。

［大學英語考試復習資料］專升本英語分類模擬57

27.Inthispassage,theword"bargain"couldbestbe

replacedby"something

A.giventopeople

B.offeredatareducedprice

C.offered,soldorboughtwhichisexpensive

D.soldforthepurposeofreachinganagreement

答案:B［解析］題中"bargain"為關(guān)鍵詞，它的意思是"something

thatischeap"（便宜貨），與B項"降價所提供的東西"相一致，所

以B項是正確答案。

28.Thehusbandandwifeinthestory.

A.wishedtobuyaTV

B.wenttothesalesnormally

C.oftenwenttothesalestobuyclothes

D.wereusuallynotshortofmoneyafterChristmas

答案:A［解析］從文章第二段中的第二句"Webothneeded...and

werehopingtofindatelevisionset."可判斷A項為正確答案。

其他三項不符合文章的意思。

29.Thephrase"splitup"inthesecondparagraphmeans

A.breakapart

B.causetobreak

C.becomepieces

［大學英語考試復習資料］專升本英語分類模擬57

D.goindifferentdirections

答案:D［解析］短語動詞splitup的漢語意思是：朝不同方向前進。

如：Thegroupsplituptotrytofindfood（隊伍分頭去尋找食物）。

D項就是splitup的含義，故為正確答案。

30.Aftertheirclay'sshopping,they.

A.werehappywiththeirbargains

B.hadgoteverythingtheywanted

C.gotmorethantheyhadhopedfor

D.hadtogobacktothesalesthenextday

答案:C［解析］本文作者和她丈夫本想購買一臺電視機，結(jié)果他們卻買

了兩臺電視機，和C項內(nèi)容相符；比他們原來希望購買的要多。其

他三項和文章的內(nèi)容不符。

C.ToshowthatArgentinaisbetterthanallothers.

D.Toprovethatfootballistheworld'smostimportantsport.

［大學英語考試復習資料］專升本英語分類模擬57

答案:A［解析］綜觀全文，作者在文章的首句就提出了運動的本質(zhì)和作

用(theessenceofsport)，隨后作者都是圍繞這一主題論述的。所

以A選項是正確的(role和essence是同義詞),而其他三項都是事

實和細節(jié)。建議考生在做主旨大意題時，最關(guān)鍵和最有效的方法就是

迅速找出文章的主題句(topicsentence),找到了主題句就確定了文

章的主題思想。

32.Inthesecondparagraph,theword"summit"means

A.award

B.summary

C.highestpoint

0.mountaintop

答案:C［解析］首先要弄懂關(guān)鍵詞"summit"在文章中的真正意思，

其含義是事業(yè)、運動等方面成功的"頂點，頂峰"。然后分析四個選

項詞語的含義：A項award意為"獎品，獎狀"；B項summary

意為"總結(jié)，概括"；C項highestpoint意為"頂點，頂峰”；D

項mountaintop意為"山頂,山峰"。通過分析和比較,判定C

項為正確答案。

33.Accordingtothepassage,Argentinaisworld-famous

A.obviouspositiononthemap

B.successesinthefootballWorldCup

［大學英語考試復習資料］專升本英語分類模擬57

C.excellenceatmostimportantsports

D.largenumberofsportsfansandsupporters

答案:B［解析］本題針對文章第二段最后一句話"...winningthe

WorldCupputArgentinaonthem叩"。題中的關(guān)鍵詞

“world-famous"和文章中"putArgentinaonthemap”是一

致的，故B項為正確答案。

34.Accordingtothepassage,ifasportsmanonlythinks

aboutwinning,hewill.

A.failtosucceed

B.loseenjoyment

C.besuccessful

D.beunreasonable

答案:B［解析］要考生能找到本題在文中的出處，就能選出正確答案。

本文首段第四句中"Theindividual...cannotaffordtothink

aboutenjoyinghimself..."就是該題的出處。通過對比和分析就可

判定B項為正確答案。

35.Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowardsinternational

答案:C［解析］本題考查考生對作者寫作意圖的正確理解，這一類型的

考題有一定難度。通過閱讀全文，特別是文章的結(jié)尾段，尤其是最后

一句話："Butit'snicetoknowthatyouwonandthatinone

wayatleastyourcountryisthebest."可判斷C項:"在國際比

賽中取得勝利的國家可以證明至少在體育運動方面是最優(yōu)秀的"是

作者的態(tài)度。
