问题1选项

A.pushed

B.shoved

C.urged

D.pressed

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:A

第3题:C

第4题:B

第5题:A

【解析】1.主旨大意题。全文主要讲述了不同人士（Joseph，电脑老师等）对黑客的看法，故C项正确。

2.推理判断题。由“Whenseeninthislight,thehackerphenomenonmaynotbesostrangeafterall.从这个角度来看，黑客现象也许并没有那么奇怪。可知该题答案在第三段可以找到。由第三段Butperhapsthosehackersknowsomethingthatwedon'tknowabouttheshapeofthingstocome."ThathackerwhohadtobeliterallydraggedoffhischairatMITisnowamultimillionaireofthecomputerindustry,"saysMITprofessorMichaelDertouzos.“AndtwoformerhackersbecamethefoundersofthehighlysuccessfulApplehomecomputercompany.但也许这些黑客知道一些我们不知道的事情。麻省理工学院教授迈克尔•德图佐斯表示:“在麻省理工学院，那个曾经不得不被人从椅子上拽下来的黑客，如今已成为计算机行业的千万富翁。”两位前黑客成为了非常成功的苹果家用电脑公司的创始人。”可知这些黑客都成为了计算机行业的顶级成功人士，他们都是想控制电脑。故A项正确。

3.推理判断题。由第三段“Butperhapsthosehackersknowsomethingthatwedon'tknowabouttheshapeofthingstocome.但也许这些黑客知道一些我们不知道的事情。”可知C项“这些黑客可能对于未来比其他人有更好的洞察力”正确。

4.词义题。由第四段“Shesaysthatcomputersandcomputertoysalreadyplayanimportantroleinchildren’seffortstodevelopanidentitybyallowingthemtotestideasaboutwhatisaliveandwhatisnot.她说，电脑和电脑玩具已经在孩子们努力发展特性的过程中发挥了重要作用，因为它们可以让孩子们测试关于什么是有生命的想法。故todevelopanidentity是指孩子通过寻找答案来发展自己的特性。故B项正确。

5.推理判断题。作者在本文提到了黑客有着与普通人不一样的洞察力，他们会把程序编得很复杂，目的只是为了控制电脑。并且文中提到了不少黑客已经成为计算机行业的顶级成功人士。所以本文提到的黑客与大家眼中的黑客形象有出入，文中描绘的黑客形象并没有那么恶劣。故A项正确。

C.Incomparison相比之下D.Inregardto关于

【答案】A

【考查点】语义衔接与短语辨析

C选项Incomparison“相比之下”，侧重于将两者进行比较，而Incontrastto侧重于两者之间的不同，后者更符合原文语义；

语法题。考查非谓语动词。根据题干可知,空格处应为一个非谓语动词。“陷入沉思’’为“sb.belostinthought”，即非谓语动词省略“主语和be动词”,此处是动词lose的过去分词形式做伴随状语。答案选C。

A.convicted定罪B.accused控告；控诉

C.charged控告；起诉D.sentenced判决；宣判

【答案】A

【考查点】固定搭配。

【解题思路】句意：他被……偷窃罪并且第三次入狱。根据句意，应该是被定罪为偷窃罪然后送入监狱。beconvictedof“宣布有罪”符合语境，因此选A。

【干扰项排除】

B选项accused“控告；控诉”，beaccusedof“被指控”，根据句意，因为已经送入监狱，所以应该是宣布有罪了，而不只是被指控有罪，该选项不符合语境；

C选项charged“控告；起诉”，固定搭配bechargedwith或bechargedof，表示“被指控”。根据句意，因为已经送入监狱，所以应该是宣布有罪了，而不只是被指控有罪，该选项不符合语境；

【解析】51.考查逻辑关系。由前面句意“JimFix在20世纪60年代开始跑步时，曾是一名烟民，体重214磅”和后面句意“他的体重减少了60磅”可知此处表示跑步带来的好处，因此填reap（取得（成果），收获）。

52.考查逻辑关系。由前面可知JimFix在出版书时，通过跑步体重减少了60磅，这是一件正面积极的事，可知此处表示他的书鼓励了其他人，因此选A。

53.考查逻辑关系。由空格后的andincreasedtheaveragepeople’slifeexpectancy（并提高人的平均寿命）可知D选项最为恰当，表示“运动是怎样回报人的，以及增加人均寿命”。

54.考查名词辨析。endurance意为“忍耐力，耐久力”；evidence意为“证据，迹象”；supplement意为“补充”；allowance意为“津贴，补贴”。此处表示很多反对他的人说他的死是证明跑步有害的证据，因此选B。

57.考查动词辨析。acknowledge意为“承认”；pledge意为“保证，誓言”；communicate意为“沟通，交流”；apologize意为“道歉，认错”。此处表示“PaulThomas承认跑步的不足之处”，因此选A。

59.考查副词辨析。explicitly意为“明白地，明确地”；particularly意为“特别，尤其”；commonly意为“通常地”；singularly意为“非常地”。此处表示“跑步的人在训练中的风险更大，尤其是如果他们跑马拉松的话”，因此选B。

60.考查逻辑关系。由空格后的thenewsforrunnersisn’tallbad（对于跑步者来说，这个消息并不全是坏消息）以及空格前提到跑步的不好之处，可知此处表示对比，因此选A，however意为“然而”，可表示转折关系。

18.单选题

问题1选项

A.Newtechnologyisintroducedfor

B.Introducingnewtechnologyand

C.Withtheintroductionofnewtechnology

D.Theintroductionofnewtechnology

【答案】C

【解析】考查句子结构。后半句句子结构完整，所以前半句应该是做修饰的成分或者并列句。A选项做句子for后面缺少成分；B项and应该连接两个完整的句子，但是前面句子成分不全；C项with的复合结构，做伴随状语，符合题意；D项逗号前后构不成逻辑关系。句意：随着新技术的引进，许多曾经由手工完成的操作现在都由机器来完成。故正确答案为C。
