2.单选题

Justasthescientist’sclaimsaboutcloningwereproventobe______andunlikely,sotoowerethemethodsusedtoarriveatthemfoundtobe______andriddledwithfundamentallapsesinthescientificmethod.

问题1选项

A.implausible…erroneous

B.acrimonious…redundant

C.esoteric…lackadaisical

D.articulate…unwarranted

【答案】A

【解析】【选项释义】

A.implausible…erroneous难以置信的……错误的B.acrimonious…redundant讥讽的,尖刻的……多余的,过剩的

C.esoteric…lackadaisical深奥难懂的……懒洋洋的,无精打采的D.articulate…unwarranted发音清楚的,口才好的……无根据的,无保证的

【答案】A

【考查点】形容词辨析。

【解题思路】第一个空格处和unlikely(不可能的)并列的,所以推测该空格与unlikely意思相近,选项中implausible符合句意;第二个空格根据后面的riddledwithfundamentallapsesinthescientificmethod(充斥着科学方法的根本性失误)可知,该空格表示“错误的”。因此,该题选择A项符合句意。

【干扰项排除】B、C、D项不符合句意。

【句意】正如科学家所说的那样,克隆被证明是难以置信的和不可能的,克隆过程中用到的偏离科学的基本方法也是错误的。

问题5选项

A.promotion

B.instruction

C.guidance

D.introduction

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:B

第3题:B

第4题:C

第5题:D

【解析】1.文章第一段最后一句话Theobjectivewastogetsomeofourexistingcustomers

topurchaseanewproductthatourcompanyhadjustlaunched,从这句话可知作者被要求写销售函件的目的是为了向他们现有的顾客推销他们公司的新产品,所以选项B符合题意。

2.文章第三段提到Ifoundthatthesamplesandtemplatesofthesaleslettersandbusinesslettersincludedinthemlookedsocheapthattherewasnoway.Iwasgoingtosendthemtoourcustomers.EvenIwouldhavedoneabetterjobofwritingsalesletters!作者在网上买的两页销售信件模板实在太差,他自己都可以写得比这个好。选项B符合题意。

3.文章第三段提到YanikSilver将会offeringamoneybackguarantee(不满意退费),选项B符合题意。

4.文章第四段提到作者对YanikSilver提供的模板很满意。Iquicklycustomized

oneofthesaleslettertemplatestofitmyneeds“我很快便找到了适合我需要的模板”,之后得到了老板的认可。由此可知,作者在原来的模板上进行了修改。选项C符合题意。

5.文章是作者亲身经历,他向读者介绍了网上一个不错的销售信件模板。他是偶然在网上发现YanikSilver这个网址,所以不能说是promotion(推销),单纯地介绍了这个网址,所以选项D符合题意。instruction“指示,命令”;guidance“指导,引导”。

4.单选题

A______judgeweighsalltheevidenceandexcludesallpersonalfeelings.

问题1选项

A.scrupulous

B.restless

C.sarcastic

D.resourceful

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A选项scrupulous“细心的;小心谨慎的;一丝不苟的;严格认真的”;B选项restless“焦躁不安的;不安宁的;得不到满足的”;C选项sarcastic“挖苦的;尖刻的,辛辣的”;D选项resourceful“足智多谋的;机智的”。句意:一位_____法官会权衡所有的证据,排除所有的个人感情。一丝不苟,严格认真符合法官形象,权衡证据以及排除个人感情说明一丝不苟,不能体现机智,所以A选项正确。

5.单选题

Ittakesall()tomakeaworld.

问题1选项

A.peoples

B.colors

C.functions

D.sorts

【答案】D

【解析】考查固定搭配。A选项peoples“人;人类;民族;公民”;B选项colors“彩色;颜料;脸色”;C选项functions“功能;智能;函数”;D选项sorts“种类;程度;品质;把……分类,整理;区分;挑选”。Ittakesallsortstomakeaworld.是一句谚语,意为“一种米养百种人”,表示世界是形形色色的人所组成的。因此D选项正确。

6.单选题

--“Doesn’tyourwiferestrainyoufromsmoking?”

--“I()fromsmokingeversinceourmarriage.”

问题1选项

A.restrained

B.haverestrained

C.refrained

D.haverefrained

【答案】D

【解析】考查时态。由关键词sinceourmarriage可知戒烟这件事从过去发生一直延续到现在,排除A,C选项;Refrain为不及物动词,后面要加上from,构成固定搭配refrainfrom(不再做某事),因此D选项正确。

7.单选题

Muchofthenewsprovidedbythisnewspaperis(

)

notforeign.

问题1选项

A.domestic

B.devilish

C.unusual

D.civilian

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容词辨析。domestic“国内的”;devilish“邪恶的,精力旺盛的”;unusual“不寻常的”;civilian“民用的”。句意:这家报纸提供的新闻都是()的而不是外国的。由notforeign可推知这家报纸提供的消息大部分是国内的,故A项符合题意。

8.单选题

Youseethelightning(

)ithappens,butyouhearthethunderlater.

问题1选项

A.theinstant

B.foraninstant

C.ontheinstant

D.inaninstant

【答案】A

【解析】考查状语从句。分析“Youseethelightning____ithappens”可知空格处缺少一个连词,结合句意可知选A,theinstant表示“一……就……”,引导时间状语从句,其他选项不能引导时间状语从句。句意:闪电一发生,你就看到了,但随后才听到雷声。

9.单选题

Histrialisfixedfornextweek,buthehasbeenallowedouton().

问题1选项

A.parole

B.leave

C.bail

D.perjury

【答案】C

【解析】考查短语辨析。A选项onparole“被假释;假释”;B选项onleave“休假;在休假中;放假”;C选项onbail“保释;保释中”;D选项perjury“伪证;伪证罪;背信弃义”,没有onperjury这个说法。bail与parole的区别:在欧美,被告如果没有逃亡或串供之虞,法官常常裁定保释,类似于我国的取保候审;假释是指已经在服刑的犯人,如果服完了最低刑期标准,同时在狱中表现良好,经假释审查委员会评估通过,就可以提早出狱。句意:他的审判定在下周,但他已获准保释。

【答案】购物对男人来说是有压力的。在一些情况下,当我们观察心率和血压时,我们看到了一些你会在战斗机飞行员进入战斗或警察进入危险的情况下看到的一种状态。

男性模式的购物与女性不同。女性购物需要与一群不知道自己想要什么、想去哪里的人进行长期互动。而这些男人无法忍受。我们男人都是为了达到目标——达到目标,然后离开。

这是我购物的方式:1.确定我想买的东西;2.打电话到附近找一家几乎没人的商店,并且这个商店有这个东西;3.去这个商店;4.直接找到此商品;5.购买;6.包装好;7.离开。

去年,我给妻子买了个咖啡壶作为圣诞礼物。一个一个商店地逛,整个过程花了15分钟。结束时我仍然在发抖。

男人购物会制定计划,实施计划然后结束离开。我们不会闲逛、不会多浏览,也不会做大量的比较。如果我们说我们要去逛街看橱窗,你可以指望我们带着一扇窗回家。大多数男性承认,他们会选择他们看到的第一件礼物,而不是花时间在拥挤的商店里。

我们来看一下David是如何买汽车的:他打电话到汽车展销中心,告诉他的销售员开始在他办公室的窗户旁驾驶汽车。如果大卫不喜欢汽车,他就向销售员挥手示意。如果一辆汽车引起了他的注意,大卫就会举起手来。销售员把车停在路边。大卫走过去,近距离检查汽车。如果五分钟后他还喜欢这辆车,他就会开支票买下来。

11.单选题

TheDepartmentofTransportationandCommunications(DOTC.will()thepurchaseof48newLightRailVehicles(LRV)fortheMetroRailTransit(MRT).

问题1选项

A.proceedwith

B.proceedfrom

C.prevailover

D.presideover

【答案】A

【解析】A选项proceedwith表示“继续进行”;B选项proceedfrom表示“从……出发”;C选项prevailover表示“胜过,占优势”;D选项presideover表示“主持,负责”。由原句句意可知,交通运输部(DOTC.将为地铁(MRT)()_采购48辆新的轻轨车辆(LRV)。所以,只有A选项最符合原文句意。故本题正确答案为A选项。

12.单选题

Hadspringeverbeengentle,soendearingbefore?Hadeverylittlescene,everyshopwindow,everyfacehepassedeverbeensowonderfullyinteresting?

问题1选项

A.attractive

B.favorable

C.inspiring

D.peaceful

【答案】A

【解析】【选项释义】

A.attractive吸引人的,令人愉快的B.favorable给人好印象的(有好感)

C.inspiring鼓舞人心的,激励的,启发灵感的D.peaceful安静的,平静的

【答案】A

【考查点】形容词辨析。

【解题思路】endearing的意思为“惹人喜爱的,讨人喜欢的”,这里问春天是否曾经惹人喜爱,让人不自觉地被他吸引,attractive与之词义相近,因此A选项正确。

【干扰项排除】B、C、D选项词义与之不符。

【句意】春天曾经如此惹人喜爱吗?他走过的每一处、每一个商店橱窗、每一张面孔,都曾经是那么奇妙而有趣吗?

【解析】细节题。对话中女士要给男士加一条毛毯,男士说:You’resosweet,可知女士非常热心。

【答案】多数有报酬的工作和少数没报酬的工作有一个优势,那就是它们提供了成功的机会和实现抱负的可能。收入是大多数工作好坏的一个判断标准,当我们这个资本主义社会继续存在时,这是不可避免的。只有在工作最好的情况下,收入才不会被当作理所应当的标准。人们想增加收入是出自于钱多了可以获得更多舒适享受这一愿望,但同样也是出于想取得成功这一欲望。无论工作有多无聊,只要它能让人获得更多的声望,无论是在大范围的世界出名还是在自己的小圈子有名气,都是可以忍受的。在这方面来说,那些家庭主妇没有在外的男人或者在外工作的女人幸运。这些家庭主妇没有收入,无法改善自己的情况。丈夫欣赏的不是她干的家务活,而是其他品质。

当然,对那些有足够的钱把住宅和花园都搞得十分漂亮并且成为邻居们羡慕的对象的女人来说,情况不一样。但是这样的女人很少。对于大多数妇女,家务带给她们的满足远不如其他工作带给男子或职业妇女的满足。

15.单选题

Ethologistsareconvincedthatmanyanimalssurvivethroughlearning—butlearningthatisindicatedbytheirgeneticprogramming,learningasthoroughlyasthemost______instinctiveofbehavioralresponses.

问题1选项

A.stereotyped

B.superseded

C.transient

D.incompatible

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A项stereotyped“刻板的,老一套的”,B项superseded“作废的,被取代的”,C项transient“短暂的,路过的”,D项incompatible“不相容的,矛盾的”。句子前部分说的是“动物行为学家相信,许多动物是通过学习生存下来的,但这种学习是由它们的遗传程序决定的”,结合后面的instinctiveofbehavioralresponses(本能的行为反应)可推,空格处填入的修饰词应该是“刻板的”,A项符合。句意:动物行为学家相信,许多动物是通过学习生存下来的,但这种学习是由它们的遗传程序决定的,学习就像最刻板的本能行为反应一样彻底。因此,该题选择A项。

16.单选题

Thenationalityoftheminoritygroupsinthatcountryisstill().

问题1选项

A.atlarge

B.atissue

C.atrisk

D.atleisure

【答案】B

【解析】考查介词短语辨析。atlarge“详尽的”;atissue“争议中的”;atrisk“处于危险中”;atleisure“从容地”。句意:在那个国家,少数民族的国籍问题仍然______。根据句意可知选项B符合题意。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:C

第3题:C

第4题:D

第5题:A

【解析】1.文章第一段Lyon,traditionalcenteroftheFrenchsilkindustrysince1536提到里昂自1536年来是法国的丝绸业的传统中心,选项B和C是关于意大利的,可以排除;文章第一段里面Ratti对员工说,“希望我们不要成为像里昂那样又胖又懒”,可知他本身也是法国纺织工业的一员。选项A符合题意。

2.slip出现在文章第二段第一句话:Althoughhispredicationhasnotcometrue,theindustryisonlynowshowingsignsofrenewedvigorafterseeingitspre-eminenceslipoverthepast50years,主要讲述了里昂作为法国纺织业中心的兴衰,renewedvigor“新的活力”,可以推断在注入新的活力之前是经过了下滑,因此slip在这里的意思是“下滑”,选项C符合题意。

3.文章第三段最后一句specialistcompaniesareaimingtorecapturemarketsinluxuryandhighfashionproducts,suchasLyon-madeHermesscarves,andtoexploitthetrendtowardsmedium-pricedsilkgoods提到一些公司试图通过奢侈品和高端的时尚产品重新占据市场,由此可以推断出法国纺织业公司通过生产围巾等来重新占据市场。选项C符合题意。

4.文章最后一段“Priceisimportant.”Malfroysays,“Butpeopleworldwidealsowantvarietyandexclusivity”提到价格、多样性以及独特性对于消费者来说都很重要。选项D符合题意。

5.题目的要求是下列哪个选项在文章中没有直接讲述,但是在文章中有暗示。文章最后一段ItisalsodevelopingaChinesemarketbyofferingkeenlypricedqualitygoodsdifferentfromthosemass-producedbyChinese-Italianjointventures提到Malfroy正在通过价格低质量高的商品来发展市场,这些商品与之前中意合资企业生产的商品不同,由此可以推测大批量的商品正在逐渐失去市场。选项A符合题意。

【答案】【参考译文】

(1)有些权威人士宣称,人们会发疯的原因是为了在精神错乱的梦境中寻找在残酷的现实世界中得不到的那种被重视的感觉。

(2)如果有人极度渴望一种“被重视”的感觉,那么试想一下如果我们能及时给予他们这疯狂的一面以真诚的赞美,又会产生怎样的奇迹呢。

(3)如果他们不喜欢一件事,就会向下属大喊大叫;如果他们喜欢,就什么也不说。就像那句老话说的那样:“坏事传千里,好事不出门。”

(4)“我还没有找到一个人,无论他如何伟大,地位如何崇高,不是在被赞许的情形下,比在被批评的情形下,更能够成就伟大的事业。”
