hatitmaybeabarrierforsomeon,womendon’tcook.正確答案：1.abilitytocook/cookingability由第一段的第三句可知，在美國，女性在私人廣告欄中吹捧自己廚藝的情況至少是男性的兩倍，但由此可知，還是有一部分男性認為自己會烹飪是值得提及的部分，故應(yīng)填abilitytocook/cookingability。2.feministobjectives由第二段第三句可知，理查德博士認為會烹飪也是新男性的一種代表，表示男性對于男女平等主義目標的支持。故應(yīng)填feministobjectives。3.malegenderrolenorm由第二段的倒數(shù)第二、三句可知，確實有一些事情會侵犯男性的角色規(guī)范，如打架時逃跑或者是不擁護自己的國家，但烹飪絕對不會侵犯男性的角色規(guī)范，故應(yīng)填malegenderrolenom。4.machoimage由第三段的第一句話可知，烹飪含有一些親密的內(nèi)涵，可以使男性擺脫大男子主義的形象，故應(yīng)填machoimacyconnotations由第三段的第一句話可知，烹飪含有一些親密的內(nèi)涵，可以使男性擺脫大男子主義的形象，其后舉的例子是會烹飪的男性也更易受到女性的青睞，故應(yīng)填intimacyconnotations。[問答題]5.SectionAEnglish-ChineseTranslation(5marks)Directions：TranslatethefollowingpassageintoChinese.Remembertowritetheanswersontheanswersheet.Nomatterwhatyourinterests,Copenhagenhasawholelotofsightseeingandentertainedonoffer.Historicormodem,sleekshopsorcozycafes—it’sallnestledfightintheheartofacompactcityandpresentedwithtypicalScandinavianassuranceandflair.正確答案：不管你對什么感興趣，哥本哈根都可以為你提供各式各樣的風(fēng)光和娛樂。無論是歷史的還是現(xiàn)代的，無論是時髦的商店還是愜意的咖啡廳——它們都和諧地依偎在這座簡約的城市中心，向世人展示著斯堪的納維亞半島獨有的自信和才華。[問答題]6.SectionBChinese-EnglishTranslation(10marks)Directions:TranslatethefollowingsentencesintoEnglish,usingthewordsgiveninthebrackets.Remembertowriteyouranswerontheanswersheet.如果你收到一封郵件，附件名為“親愛的朋友”，應(yīng)立即刪除。(entitle)正確答案：Ifyoureceiveanemail,withanattachmententitled“Dearfriend”,deleteitimmediately.參考解析：entitle作及物動詞，意為“名為…”，這里使用其過去分詞形式作為attachment的后置定語，表被動。[問答題]7.為了幫助并激勵他人，貝蒂決定利用自己的身份做慈善事業(yè)。(inaneffortto)正確答案：Inanefforttohelpandinspireothers,Bettyhasdeterminedtouseherstatusforcharitablecauses.參考解析：inanefforttodosth,試圖做某事。determinetodosth,決定做某事。[問答題]8.大海上的六天時間給兩個男孩制造了很多困難，其中包括極度的干渴、饑餓、白天太陽的暴曬以及夜晚的低溫。(yield)正確答案：Thesixdaysatseayieldedmanydifficultiesforthetwoboys,includingextremethirst,hunger,andsunexposureduringtheday,andcoldtemperaturesatnight.參考解析：yield作及物動詞時，有“生產(chǎn)；制造”的意思。sunexposure暴曬。[問答題]9.既然我們都同意撒謊的現(xiàn)象很普遍，所有人都會撒謊，那么我覺得對我們來說最明智的就是在這門藝術(shù)沒有進一步衰退之前，認真透徹地培養(yǎng)自己這個能力。(nowthat)正確答案：Nowthatweallagreethatlyingisuniversalandthateveryoneisdoingit,Ithinkthewisestthingwecandoistocarefullyandthoroughlytrainourselvesinthefineartoflyingbeforeitdecaysanyfurther.參考解析：nowthat既然，引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。[問答題]10.很多游客選擇了整形為主的廉價旅游套餐，這其中還包含有賓館住宿、交通和觀光的費用。(package)正確答案：Manytravellerschooseplasticsurgerytoursofferingcheappackageswhichincludethesurgeryaswellashotel,travelcosts,andsightseeing.參考解析：package原意為“包裹”，也可引申為“一整套計劃”或“套餐”的意思。plasticsurgery整形。[問答題]11.Proofreadthepassageasrequired.Eachindicatedlinecontainsamaximumofoneerror.Correctthepassageinthefollowingway:forarightline,putthesign“√”inthecorrespondingblank;forawrongword,underlinethewrongwordandwritethecorrectoneintheblank;foramissingword,markthepositionofthemissingwordwiththesign“∧”andwritethewordyoubelievetobemissingintheblank;foranunnecessaryword,crosstheunnecessarywordwiththesign“\”andputthewordwiththesign“\”intheblank.Writetheanswersontheanswersheet.Howmuchdoyouknowaboutrobots?Robotsnowadaysaretakingover1.______manyhazardousjobs,andtheyarealsocreatingnewhazards.Beingstruck2.______byarobotarminthemotion,beingtrappedbetweentherobotandanother3.______object,andevenbeinghitbyanobjectdroppedbyanoverloadingrobot4.______gripperarethemainhazardsthatrobotposetohumansworldwide.Inmanycases,workersareinthewaywhentherobotmakesasuddenandexpected5.______movementorstartswhenitisn’tsupposed.Payingnoattention,workers6.______maythusbehurtbadly.OnesurveyofrobotuseinJapanshowedthetotal7.______of10fatalityreportedbytheendofApril1987,amongwhichthevictims’8.______ignoringsafeprecautionsisthecauseinfourcase.It’sbelievedthatfuture9.______robotsshouldbeeasilytooperate.10.______正確答案：1.√無錯誤。2.and改為but由句意可知，機器人接管了很多危險的工作，同時他們也制造了很多新的危險，兩句為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故應(yīng)將and改為but。3.inthemotion刪除theinmotion在運轉(zhuǎn)中。4.overloading改為overloadedoverload的形容詞為overloaded，表示“超重的；超負荷的”，overloading僅為overload的現(xiàn)在分詞形式，無實意。5.expected改為unexpected由句意可知，工人受傷往往是因為機器人突然且意料之外的運轉(zhuǎn)造成的，故應(yīng)將expected改為unexpected。6.supposed后加tobesupposedtodosth,應(yīng)該做某事，to不可被省略。7.the改為aatotalof總數(shù)為。8.fatality改為fatalities10fatalities，應(yīng)使用復(fù)數(shù)形式。9.safe改為safetysafetyprecaution安全預(yù)防措施。safe為形容詞，意為“安全的”。safety為名詞。10.easily改為easy系動詞be后應(yīng)使用表語形容詞，故應(yīng)將easily改為easy。[問答題]12.TherearefiveIQTestQuestionsinthispart.Writeyouranswersontheanswersheet.Rearrangethelettersgivenandmakeonewordthatusesalltheletters.EEEGNRV正確答案：REVENGE參考解析：revenge復(fù)仇；報復(fù)。[問答題]13.Answerthequestionbelow.WhatisitthatwehaveinDecemberbutthatwedon’thaveinanyothermonth?正確答案：LetterD參考解析：由1—12月份的英文單詞January，F(xiàn)ebruary，March，April，May，June，July，August，September，October，November，December可知，僅12月份有的是字母D。[問答題]14.Givethetwomissingpairsoflettersinthefollowingsequences.Thealphabethasbeenwrittenouttohelpyou.ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZExample:CQDQEPFPGOHOBEYUCHXR正確答案：DK;WO參考解析：由BY及CX可知，第一個字母為正數(shù)與倒數(shù)相對的字母，故下兩個空的首字母應(yīng)是DW。由EU及HR可知，第二個字母為正數(shù)第n個與倒數(shù)第n+1個，故下兩個空的第二個字母應(yīng)是KO。[問答題]15.Moveoneletterfromthefirstwordandaddittothesecondwordtomaketwonewwords.Example:h
