24、r e-phone for short, is the merger of telephone and computer.

43、hance to get a fresh, clean view of the world. 1.A.AlthoughB.SinceC.BecauseD.Therefore答案:A此空四个选项都是从属连词，但是它们的属性是不同的，although是表示转折关系的；since，because，therefore是表示原因关系的。本句句意为“尽管这些宽阔的现代化公路通常很平坦且维护良好，转弯也很少，但是一直保持笔直的公路不总是令人赏心悦目”。此空应填表示转折关系的选项A。2.A.stableB.splendidC.smoothD.complicated答案:C本句句意“畅通的公路”，stable，

44、splendid和complicated一般不能用来修饰roads。3.A.littleB.fewC.muchD.many答案:Bfew修饰可数名词，是表示“较少”的意心。可推断此空正确答案为选项B，few。4.A.terribleB.possibleC.enjoyableD.profitable答案:C根据上下文可推测出如果高速公路总是保持笔直，对于驾驶都来说是非常枯燥的，因此本空的正确答案为C，enjoyable。5.A.toB.intoC.overD.by答案:D介词by能和动词pass搭配，意为“经过”。6.A.leadB.connectC.collectD.communicate答案

45、:B本句中的联系副词Furthermore说明本句是对上一句的进一步补充和信息的增加，由此可推测本句句义为高速公路不仅经过风景区和乡村，通常还“将庞大的都市中心区连接起来”。故正确答案为B。7.A.largeB.fastC.highD.heavy答案:D表示“交通拥挤”用heavy和traffic搭配。8.A.whenB.forC.butD.that答案:A这里使用的是一个非限定性定语从句，四个选项中只有A，when具备此语法功能。9.A.unlessB.ifC.asD.since答案:B根据上下句关系可推断此句为条件句，故选项B为正确答案。10.A.relativelyB.regularly

46、C.respectivelyD.reasonably答案:A根据主句中的“older.roads”可推断此空需要填一个比较意义的副词，以构成对比关系，故选项A，relatively“相应地，相对地”为正确答案。其他三词词义分别为：regularly“有规律地，定期地”，respectively“各自地”，reasonably“有理由地”。11.A.andB.lessC.moreD.or答案:B根据此空前后词及结构可断定此空应使用比较级，放可排除A和D。另外根据上下文可推测此空应为less，因为more heavily traveled意为“车辆拥挤的”公路，与常识不符。12.A.AllB.Se

47、veralC.LotsD.Some答案:D从下文的others可知此空正确答案为D，some。13.A.rocksB.cliffsC.roadsD.paths答案:B根据上文的slopes和下文的hillsides就可以断定这里需要一个表示路况不好的词，选项A，rocks意义不符，故只有B，cliffs“悬崖”为正确答案。14.A.lyingB.layingC.laidD.lied答案:A根据题目和选项可断定此空应为towns的后置定语，由此可猜测句义为“位于深谷中的城镇”，“位于”lie是不及物动词，不能以过去分词的形式出现做名词的后置修饰语，故正确答案为lie的现在分词形式lying。15

48、.A.thereB.whenC.whichD.where答案:D定语从句修饰places用where来引导。PART FIVE Read the extract below about Science-fiction Movie. In most of the lines (34-45), there is one extra word.

53、 factors that determine or influence the design of HCI in movies will be discussed. 7 Starting from this viewpoint numerous examples for from selected movies will be observed. 8 Due in to the limitation of the material that is at hand, we cannot claim to provide a complete overview of all movies, 9
