kins的公司掙了很多錢，因此可推斷他的書經(jīng)常居于暢銷書之首，routinely“慣常地”符合語義。13、【C3】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：F知識點解析：此處應(yīng)為動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞，與is構(gòu)成現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時的謂語。從上文可知Atkins博士認(rèn)為碳水化合物不利健康，因此本句應(yīng)該表示他的這一說法使生產(chǎn)碳水化合物食品的公司“很恐慌”等意思，panicking在詞形和詞義上都符合要求。14、【C4】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：J知識點解析：此處應(yīng)為名詞，為relyon的賓語，且能與for搭配。后文舉例提到各種碳水化合物食品，因此選擇appetite“胃口；愛好”，表示這些食品公司依靠人們對富含碳水化合物食品的喜好來實現(xiàn)盈利。15、【C5】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識點解析：此處應(yīng)為belief的修飾成分，可為名詞、形容詞或動詞的分詞形式。該句要表明JudiAdams擔(dān)心Atkins博士的觀點會成為“影響廣泛”的觀念，故mainstream“主流”正確。16、【C6】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：L知識點解析：此處應(yīng)為名詞，作介詞on的賓語。此句描述的是小麥?zhǔn)称穮f(xié)會對付Atkins的對策，故revisions“修訂”正確。revisionsto意為“對……的修訂”。17、【C7】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：G知識點解析：空格前的the表明此處應(yīng)為名詞，作as的賓語。面包、谷類、米飯和面食都是富含碳水化合物的食品，應(yīng)處于金字塔底端，因此foundation“基礎(chǔ)”正確。18、【C8】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：此處應(yīng)填入謂語動詞，賓語為theirrisk；句子主語為Americans，故填入動詞原形。前文說到這個策略是對Atkins理論的直接進(jìn)攻，因此按照Atkins的方法飲食的美國人，出現(xiàn)健康問題的風(fēng)險會increase“增加”。19、【C9】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識點解析：此處應(yīng)填入以元音開頭的名詞、形容詞或動詞分詞作定語。本句及下句的rareoccasions表明Atkins并非絕對禁止他的追隨者吃碳水化合物食物，他們可以“偶爾”吃這些食物，因此選occasional。20、【C10】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：N知識點解析：此處應(yīng)為名詞，作介詞in的賓語。根據(jù)該句中的rareoccasions可以知道Atkins主張可以偶爾吃吃碳水化合物食品，但也要控制數(shù)量，因此moderation“適度”正確。haveitinmoderation意為“適量地吃”。Aresmarterkidssmartenoughtoavoidalcoholanddrugs?Fordecades,scientistshaddocumentedthatthosewithlowerIQandlesseducationweremorelikelytobecomeaddictedtoalcoholorotherdrugs,probablybecauselowerlevelsofeducationandlowerIQareassociatedwiththe【C1】______effectsofpovertyandbecausehavinglessintelligenceoffersfewermentalresourcestoallowuserstomoderateandavoidproblems.Thelatestdata,publishedinAlcoholism:ClinicalandExperimentalResearch,doesn't【C2】______thosefindings.Druguseisnotthesameasdrugaddiction—higherintelligenceisaprotectivefactoragainstalcoholismandaddictions;【C3】______smarterpeoplearemorelikelytodrinkortrydrugs.Socialdrinkinginmanycountriesandnon-problematicdrinkingismore【C4】______andcommonamongpeoplewithhighereducation.Butwhy?Whatprotectsthemfrom【C5】______intoaddiction?Intelligencecanserveasavehiclefor【C6】______whenitcomestoalcoholordruguse—themoreeducatedpeopleare,themoretheyinternalizeandappreciatethedangersandrisksof【C7】______Intelligencecanalso【C8】______morecuriosityandopennesstonewexperiences.Andthatincludesexperimentingwithalcoholanddrugs.Peoplehavetheimpressionthatintelligenceissomehowrelatedtobeing【C9】______andbookwormish,butlargestudiesdefinitelyfindthatintelligenceisassociatedwithsensation-seekingandseekingdifferentkindsofexperiences,includinglearningnewthings.Itcouldberelatedtothenatureofintelligence.Suchexperimentationdoesn'talwaysleadtoaddictionorproblematicbehaviorbecausethistypeofexposureofteninvolvesafewexperiencesbeforethepersonmovesontothenext【C10】______A)executionB)moderationC)compellingD)indulgenceE)nonethelessF)decentG)frequentH)noveltyI)spurJ)damagingK)deviateL)slidingM)exceptionallyN)introvertedO)contradict21、【C1】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：J知識點解析：空格在定冠詞the和名詞之間，應(yīng)為名詞、形容詞或分詞作定語。此句解釋為什么智商較低和受教育程度較低的人更容易染上酒癮和毒癮，其原因與“貧窮”的影響有關(guān)，因此填入空格處的詞應(yīng)具有消極詞義色彩，damaging“有破壞性的”符合句意。22、【C2】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：O知識點解析：空格在助動詞doesn’t之后，應(yīng)為動詞原形。本段第2句提到“高智商是讓人遠(yuǎn)離酒癮和毒癮的保護(hù)性因素”，可見最新的數(shù)據(jù)與之前的研究結(jié)果相近，contradict符合句意，表示“最新的數(shù)據(jù)與以前的研究成果一致”。23、【C3】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：E知識點解析：空格在分號和逗號之間，應(yīng)為副詞，說明兩個分句之間的邏輯關(guān)系。前一個分句說“高智商能讓人遠(yuǎn)離酒癮和毒癮”，后一個分句說“聰明的人更可能喝酒或嘗試吸毒”，可見兩個分句之間存在轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，因此選用nonetheless。24、【C4】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：G知識點解析：空格后的and表明此處應(yīng)填入與common并列的形容詞。本句緊接上文講“受教育程度高的人”喝酒的情況，common提示此處講喝酒的普遍性，故應(yīng)選用frequent，表示“在受教育程度高的人群中，社交喝酒和非問題性喝酒更加頻繁和普遍”。25、【C5】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：L知識點解析：空格位于詞組protect．．．from之后，為介詞from的賓語。根據(jù)空格后的介詞into(表示進(jìn)入某種狀態(tài))可確定填入此處的詞應(yīng)表示某個動作，并能與into搭配。sliding符合語法結(jié)構(gòu)和句意，表明受教育程度高的人雖然常喝酒，但不會“滑落”到酗酒的深淵。26、【C6】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：空格在介詞for之后，應(yīng)為名詞。句子謂語serveas“充當(dāng)”表明這里講智力的作用，再結(jié)合appreciatethedangersandrisks(辨別出危險之處)可知，這種作用應(yīng)該是自我節(jié)制的能力，moderation符合文中語境。27、【C7】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識點解析：空格在介詞of之后，應(yīng)為名詞。thedangersandrisksof…具體說明這些人能識別出某種危險，結(jié)合上段末句的問題可推斷，該詞應(yīng)與addiction近義，據(jù)此選用indulgence。28、【C8】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：I知識點解析：空格在助動詞can和賓語morecuriosityandopenness之間，應(yīng)為動詞原形。根據(jù)后文提到的“很多研究發(fā)現(xiàn)智力與尋求刺激和不同體驗有關(guān)，包括學(xué)習(xí)新事物”可推知，此處應(yīng)講智力能“激發(fā)”人對新鮮事物的好奇心，故選用spur。29、【C9】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：N知識點解析：and表明此處應(yīng)填入與bookwormish并列的形容詞或分詞，且?guī)в邢麡O含義。此處應(yīng)選用introverted，說明人們以為聰明的人都是“性格內(nèi)向的”書呆子。30、【C10】標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：H知識點解析：空格在thenext后面，應(yīng)為名詞。本段的主要內(nèi)容是：智力高的人容易對新鮮事物產(chǎn)生好奇心，他們會去嘗試各種新鮮事物，所以不會沉迷。movesonto和thenext表明智力高的人容易“轉(zhuǎn)移到下一個目標(biāo)”，這個目標(biāo)應(yīng)該與前文提及的newexperiences或newthings意思相近，故選用novelty最為合適。大學(xué)英語六級改革適用（閱讀）模擬試卷第2套一、詞匯理解(本題共10題，每題1.0分，共10分。)Webuybooks,andthentheywaitforustoreadthemDays,months,evenyears.Booksare【C1】________That'sOKforbooks,butnotfornewauthors.Ifpeopledon'treadtheirfirstbooks,they'llnevermakeittoasecond.That'swhyEternaCadencia,anindependentpublisherandbookstore,decidedtocreatesomethingdifferentto【C2】________theirnewauthorsintothemarket—"TheBook

衰老、疾病、死亡、自然災(zāi)害事故也是幾乎所有人所面臨的問題。但有些人能度過這一切，避免生活中的沮喪和不幸，而有些人卻被困難擊倒，情緒沮喪”。因此A與此段的意思相符；B、C與文意不符；D在該段中并沒有提及。25、Accordingtothepassage,whatkindofpeoplearerare?A、Thosewhodon’temphasizebookishexcellenceintheirpursuitofhappiness.B、ThosewhomeasurehappinessbyanabsenceofproblemsbutseldomsufferfromN.B.D.’s.C、Thosewhoareawareofdifficultiesinlifebutknowhowtoavoidunhappiness.D、Thosewhoareabletosecurehappinessthoughhavingtostruggleagainsttryingcircumstances.標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點解析：文章最后一句話“那些認(rèn)識到困難是人生必然存在的情況，并且不以有無困難來衡量幸福與否的人才是我們所知的最聰明的一類人，也是很罕見的一類人”。B所表達(dá)的意思與此相符。大學(xué)英語六級改革適用（閱讀）模擬試卷第3套一、長篇閱讀(本題共20題，每題1.0分，共20分。)Pat
