Hewasaskedtobethe（

）ofthebadmintongamebecausehewasanimpartialperson.

问题1选项

A.judge

B.umpire

C.fan

D.controller

【答案】B

【解析】考查名词辨析。judge意为“法官，审判员”，泛指各种场合中的评判人员；umpire意为“裁判员”多用于仲裁者本身不需随比赛移动位置，如羽毛球、游泳、板球、棒球等；fan意为“迷，狂热爱好者，风扇”；controller意为“(尤指大型机构或部门的)管理者，控制者”。由thebadmintongame（羽毛球比赛）可知选B。

句意：他被要求担任羽毛球比赛的裁判，因为他是一个公正的人。

2.单选题

Sofast（

）thatitisdifficultforustoimagineitsspeed.

问题1选项

A.haslighttraveled

B.lighttravels

C.doeslighttravel

D.travelslight

【答案】C

【解析】考查倒装句。由so/such…that…结构中的so或such与其修饰成分位于句首表示强调时，主句要进行倒装，因此选项C符合题意。

3.单选题

Hardlyanything____morethanhappinessofseeingsomeoneusinghisdevicefortreatment.

问题1选项

A.pleasehim

B.doespleasehim

C.doeshimplease

D.pleaseshim

【答案】D

【解析】【选项释义】

A.pleasehim使他开心B.doespleasehim确实使他开心

C.doeshimplease确实是他开心D.pleaseshim使他开心

【答案】D

【考查点】主谓一致

【解题思路】该句的主语为anything“任何事情”，是一个不定代词，不定代词做主语时，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。选项中的please为本句的谓语，其第三人称单数形式为pleases，him为本句的宾语。因此，D选项pleaseshim“使他开心”满足语法要求。

【干扰项排除】

A选项pleasehim，没有使用第三人称单数；

B选项doespleasehim，虽然hardly放在句首时一般需要部分倒装，但是，本句没有在主语anything的前面挖空，does的位置不对。另外，hardly放在句首也可以不使用部分倒装，只是这样就不表示强调了；

C选项doeshimplease，与B选项相同，does的位置不对，另外，him是宾语，应在please的后面。

【句意】没有什么比看到有人用他的设备治疗更让他高兴的了。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:C

第3题:A

第4题:D

第5题:B

【解析】第1题:细节事实题。根据第一段第一句“Likemanyothersmallboys,Iwasfascinatedbycars,notleastbecausemyoldestbrotherwasabitofacarguyandsubscribedtocoolmagazineslikeCarandDriverandMotorTrend.”和许多其他小男孩一样，我对汽车很着迷，尤其是因为我的哥哥是个汽车迷，订阅了《汽车与司机》和《汽车趋势》等很酷的杂志。由此可知，选项A“和其他男孩一样想拥有自己的车”和原文不符，作者只是说自己和其他男孩一样对汽车着迷；选项B“作者在哥哥的杂志上读到有关汽车的新奇事物”符合原文；选项C在文中没有提及；选项D是作者哥哥订阅的杂志而不是他自己，所以错误。

第2题:语义题。这句话的意思是“我的车不能做任何我哥哥的车所不能做的事”。根据下文的内容“Itgoes,itstops,itburnsgasoline,itplaysmusic.Istillhavetosteerit,anditstillrunsintothingsifIdon'tsteeritcarefully.”它前进，它停止，它燃烧汽油，它播放音乐。我仍然需要操纵它，如果我不小心操纵，它仍然会撞到东西。以及第二段首句“Butguesswhat?Allofthesethingsaresubjecttochangeinthenot-so-distantfuture.”但你猜怎么着？所有这些都可能在不久的将来发生变化。也就是说，到目前为止，汽车的性能并没有发生改变，它还是需要人来操控。所以选项C为正确答案。

第3题:细节事实题。根据第三段第二句“consideringtherecentnewsaboutpeopleoccasionallybeingkilledbytheirairbagsinlow-speedcollisions,theyobviouslystillneedsomedevelopment.”考虑到最近的新闻，安全气囊在低速碰撞中偶尔会使人丧生，显然安全气囊仍然需要一些改进。选项A符合原文。选项B与原文“Buttheyaren’tgoingaway.”不符；根据第二句中的关键词“occasionally”可知，选项C表述太绝对；选项D在文中没有提及。

第4题:细节事实题。根据关键词“alcohol”定位到倒数第四段“Carscouldbeequippedwithsensorsthatcandetectalcoholinadriver’ssystemandpreventthecarfrombeingstarted,forexample.”例如，汽车可以配备传感器，检测驾驶员身体中的酒精含量，从而防止汽车启动。由此可知，选项D“它们不会启动”正确。

第5题:细节事实题。根据最后一段第一句“Willcarseventuallybeabletodrivethemselves?There’snoreasontothinkitwon'tbetechnicallypossible...”汽车最终能自动驾驶吗？没有理由认为这在技术上是不可能的。由此可知，选项B正确；根据最后一段第三句“Nobodyreallyexpectspeopletogiveupallcontroltotheircars.”没有人真的希望人们完全放弃对汽车的控制，所以选项A不正确；选项C和D在文中没有提及。

5.单选题

IsthistheTVsetwhichyouwish（

）?

问题1选项

A.tohaveitrepaired

B.torepairit

C.tohaverepaired

D.willberepair

【答案】C

【解析】考查定语从句的用法。句中which引导定语从句修饰先行词theTVset从句中有一个固定用法havesth.repaired“修复某物”，可知which指代theTVset在从句中充当被修理的宾语。因此C选项正确。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:C

第3题:C

第4题:C

第5题:D

【解析】1.根据第一段的第一句“Oneofthegoodthingsformeninwomen’sliberationisthatmennolongerhavetopaywomentheold-fashionedcourtesies．”对男性来说,妇女解放带来的一个好处就是男人不用遵守尊重妇女的旧式礼节了。由此可知,在妇女解放过程中,男性也得到了解放,所以选项B符合原文。

2.从作者的叙述方式看,作者在讨论举止风度以及妇女解放问题时带有调侃语气。例如,在第四段的第二句中,作者说,他拒绝用一些过时的礼节来麻烦女士(事实上对女性表示礼貌恭维谈不上是“麻烦”),而且之所以这样,是出于一种尊敬。又如,在第五段第二句中,作者将自己看作是那些具有“天然风度”(naturalgrace)的男士,而所谓“天然”,却是一切顺其自然,不受社会礼仪规范所约束。由此可以确定选项C为正确答案。

3.根据关键词“AnnClark”定位到第五段的后半部分,AnnClark认为当一名男性和一名女性被带到餐桌子前,服务员拿出一把椅子,坐在椅子上的应该是女性。说明AnnClark比较赞同传统的社会行为规则,而作者的做法恰好与其相反,他喜欢顺着自己的意愿。所以选项C符合原文。

4.根据原文内容可知,作者坐在那把椅子上的原因是因为那个正是他想坐的椅子,而且他是在妻子的前面到达的,这是作者的一种习惯。所以作者的妻子认为作者不应该按照自己的习惯坐在那把椅子上,所以选项C正确。

5.根据原文最后一段内容可知,作者比女性先上车的原因,首先这是他的一个习惯,其次是出于礼貌,爱和尊重,以及保护女性的安全避免受到潜在的袭击。只有选项D不正确。
