【答案】第1题:D

第2题:A

第3题:A

第4题:B

【解析】1.主旨大意题。由“Thebasicproblemwiththeuseofsolarphotovoltaicdevicesiseconomics,butuntilrecentlyverylittleprogresshasbeenmadetowardthedevelopmentoflow-costphotovoltaicdevices.使用太阳能光伏设备的基本问题是经济问题，但直到最近，在开发低成本光伏设备方面几乎没有取得进展。”以及第三段amorphousmaterials的优点可知作者关心寻找低成本的可替代能源。可知D项“描述了光伏电池成本问题的一种可能解决方案”相符。

2.判断推理题从“Recently，therehavebeensomeimaginativeattemptsto

makepolycrystallineandribbonsilicon,whicharelowerincostthanhighqualitysinglecrystals;buttodateefficienciesoftheseapparentlylower-costarrayshavebeenunacceptablysmall.Moreover,thesematerialsarecheaperonlybecauseoftheintroductionofdisorderingincrystallinesemiconductors,anddisorderdegradestheefficiencyofcrystallinesolarcells.但到目前为止，这些成本明显较低的阵列的效率一直小得令人无法接受。此外，这些材料更便宜只是因为晶体半导体中无序的引入，无序降低了晶体太阳能电池的效率。”由此可以推理，这种尝试改进没有多大的价值，可知A项“尽量减少近期硅太阳能电池改进的重要性”正确。B项“说明非晶态材料优于晶态硅材料”；C项“告诉读者，有一种替代类型的太阳能电池存在”D项“对比晶体硅与多晶硅和带状硅”。

3.判断推理题。由第一段“Thebasicproblemwiththeuseofsolarhotovoltaicdevicesiseconomics使用太阳能光电器件的基本问题是经济问题”下文多次用solarcells替代photovoltaicdevices可知photovoltaicdevices和solarcells是同义词。

4.判断推理题。由第三段“Thisdilemmacanbeavoidedbypreparingcompletelydisorderedoramorphousmaterials.Amorphousmaterialshavedisorderedatomicstructureascomparedtocrystallinematerials:thatis,theyhaveonlyshort-rangeorderratherthanthelong-rangeperiodicityofcrystals.Theadvantagesofamorphoussolarcellsareimpressive.这种困境可以通过制备完全无序或非晶态的材料来避免。与晶体材料相比，非晶态材料具有无序的原子结构，即它们只具有短期的有序，而没有晶体的长期周期性。非晶态太阳能电池的优点令人印象深刻。”中的amorphousmaterial的优点以及最后一段中“furtherresearchwilldoubtlessfindevenlesscostlyamorphousmaterialwithefficiencies.进一步的研究无疑会发现成本更低、效率更高的非晶态材料。”可知amorphousmaterial有望成为太阳能的替代能源，故应该增加对其的投资。B项“增加对非晶材料的研究经费”符合题意。

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:C

第3题:D

第4题:B

第5题:C

【解析】1.细节事实题。根据文章第三段，“…fromarelativelyweakstartingposition,theUKnowleadsonmanyindicatorsofcommercializationactivity.”，可知英国从一个相对较弱的起点，现在在许多商业化活动的指标上处于领先地位。可判断出在作者看来英国大学的商业化在世界上仍然在世界上有一席之地，处于领先地位。因此选项C符合题意。

2.细节事实题。根据文章第四段，“EvidencesuggeststheUK’spositionismuchstrongerthanintherecentpastandisstillshowingimprovement.Butnationaldate,askstheverylargevariationintheperformanceofindividualuniversities.”，可知有证据表明，英国大学的地位比过去要稳定得多，而且仍在改善。但全国数据并没有反映出各所大学存在的巨大差异。因此选项C符合题意。

3.词义理解题。根据文章第四段第一句，“thepolicyinterventionsofthepastdecadehavehelpedtransformtheperformanceofUKuniversities.”，可知过去10年的政策干预改变了英国大学，然后在下文提及了各个大学存在巨大的差异。第五段主要对这种分配不平均的现象进行了进一步阐述，这种现象不仅发生在英国，，也存在于其他国家。又根据文章第五段，“Theeffectofpoliciesgeneratinglong-termresourceconcentrationhavealsocreatedadistinctivesetofuniversitieswhichareresearch-ledandcommerciallyactive.”，可知政策主导的长期资源集中化也造就了一批独特的大学，它们以研究为主导，并且商业化。可判断出policyinterventions就是指资源集中的政策。因此现象D符合题意。

4.细节事实题。根据文章第六段，“Thecoreobjectiveforuniversitieswhichareresearch-ledmustbetomaximizetheimpactoftheirresearchefforts.Theseuniversitiesshouldbegeneratingthewidestrangeofsocialeconomicandenvironmentalbenefits.”，可知以研究为主导的大学的核心目标必须是最大限度地发挥其研究的影响。这些大学应该为社会、经济和环境各方面带来效益。可判断出这些研究型大学应该充分利用他们的研究成果造福于社会。因此选项B符合题意。

5.判断推理题。根据文章最后一段，“Iftherewasagreatercoordinationoftechnologytransferofficeswithinregionsandasimultaneousinvestmentinthescaleandfunctionsofourgraduateschools,universitiescould,andshould,playakeyroleinpositioningtheUKforthenextgrowthcycle.”，可知如果各区域内的技术转移部门更有效的协调，同时加大研究生规模和功能的投资，大学应该能在英国下一轮经济增长中发挥关键作用。可判断出作者认为英国的大学可以通过促进技术转移和投资研究生院教育在经济增长中发挥作用。因此选项C符合题意。

3.单选题

Leninoncearguedthatapoliticalleaderisnotonlyresponsibleforpolicybutfortheactionofthosewho（

）it.

问题1选项

A.assault

B.mislead

C.execute

D.commend

【答案】C

【解析】考查动词辨析。A选项assault“攻击；袭击”；B选项mislead“误导”；C选项execute“实行；执行；处死”；D选项commend“称赞；推荐；把······委托”。句意：列宁曾经说过，一个政治领袖不仅要对政策负责，还要对那些······政策的人的行为负责。能与“政策”相搭配的只有C选项“执行”。

4.单选题

问题1选项

A.descend

B.decrease

C.ascend

D.increase

【答案】C

【解析】考查动词辨析。A选项descend“下降；遗传”；B选项decrease“减小；减少”；C选项ascend“上升；攀登”；D选项increase“增加；增大”。句意：站在山顶，我们看着雾从下面的山谷……，我们好像进入了一个仙境。形容云雾缭绕，雾应该是从下方升起的，故选C。

5.单选题

Itissometimesdifficultto（）ahappymediuminlife.

问题1选项

A.adopt

B.make

C.reach

D.strike

【答案】D

【解析】考查固定短语搭配。A选项adopt“采取；接受；收养；正式通过”；B选项make“使得；进行；布置，准备，整理；制造；认为；获得；形成”；C选项reach“达到；延伸；伸出手；传开；范围；延伸；河段；横风行驶”；D选项strike“撞击；打；踢（球等）；突击；罢工；使打动；侵袭；罢工；抗拒；袭击；殴打”。根据固定搭配strikeahappymedium“采取折中的办法；采取中庸之道”可知该题选strike。句意：生活中有时很难找到折中的办法。因此D选项正确。

6.单选题

Therisingofpriceswill______offdemandsforpayincreases.

问题1选项

A.trigger

B.nudge

C.trail

D.switch

【答案】A

【解析】【试题解析】考查定语从句。A选项trigger“触发；引起”；B选项nudge“（常用肘为引起注意）轻推”；C选项trail“没精打采地慢走；拉”；D选项switch“转变；交换；调班”。句意：物价上涨会______涨工资的要求。根据语境，这里指物价上涨以后人们就想要涨工资，A选项trigger“触发；引起”符合题意。因此A选项正确。

7.单选题

Thebartenderwalkedout______thecounterandbegantodrivethedrunkoutofthebar.

问题1选项

A.frombefore

B.fromunder

C.frombehind

D.fromacross

【答案】C

【解析】考查介词辨析。A选项before“在……之前”；B选项under“在……下面”；C选项behind“在……后面”；D选项across“穿过”。句意：酒保从柜台后面走出来，开始把那个醉汉赶出酒吧。本句表示从柜台后面走出来。因此C选项正确。

8.单选题

Farmerswereencouragedtokeeptheirlivestockinpensratherthanlettingthem（）freely.

问题1选项

A.roam

B.wander

C.wonder

D.roar

【答案】A

【解析】考查动词辨析。A选项roam“闲逛，漫步”；B选项wander“游荡，漫游”；C选项wonder“想知道，纳闷”；D选项roar“咆哮，呼喊”。句意：鼓励农民们把家畜关进栏圈，而不是让它们到处乱跑。由ratherthan可知，句子后半句表达的意思应该“和把家畜关进栏圈”相反，C，D不符合句意。roam常指在广阔地方以自得其乐的愉快心情作无固定目标的漫游，wander多指人无目的地到处徘徊或闲荡，A选项与其意思对应。因此A选项符合句意。

9.单选题

Asaresult,theyhadto（）answeringtheirletterbythreedays.

问题1选项

A.decide

B.refrain

C.surpass

D.delay

【答案】D

【解析】固定搭配。选项中只有delay后面可以接动名词。句意：他们不得不推迟三天回信。所以本题选D。

20.pioneered

【解析】1.由suchasthenumberofNobelprizesandarticlesonprestigiousjournals.如诺贝尔奖的数量和发表在著名期刊上的文章。可知这些都属于条件。

2.本句结构完整，句意：美国大学（）雇佣世界上70%的诺贝尔奖得主。

3.句意：科学家产出了世界上30%的关于科学和工程方面的学术文章，以及44%的经常被引用的文章。

4.conductasurvey做调查；句意：根据2001年的一项调查…

5.句意：美国花在每个学生身上的钱是经合组织平均水平的两倍多。

6.showerwith抛撒，大量给予；句意：校友和慈善家每年都会大量赠予资金。

7.haveapassionfor对…的强烈爱好；由下一句“清教徒在第一次到达新英格兰后于1636年建立哈佛大学”可知“美国人对高等教育有强烈爱好”。

8.此空需要填一个表示时间的名词。twodecades20年。

9.此空需填一个形容词，空前有不定冠词a修饰，故空格处所填形容词不以元音字母开头。再联系下文可知，对于美国的大学，不像法国和德国那样，美国政府并没有实行中央计划。所以美国高等教育成功的第一个原因就是联邦政府发挥了有限的作用。形容词中只有limited符合题意。

10.treat…ascivilservants将___看作公务员。由上一句可知“对于美国的大学，美国政府没有实行中央计划。”所以接着进一步说明，美国政府没有把美国大学看作是政府的公务员。

11.asdoFranceandGermany像法国和德国那样。句意：对于美国的大学，不像法国和德国那样，美国政府并没有一个实行中央计划。

12.haveawiderangeof有广泛的…。由下文可知有一些富有的捐赠者，故此空填range.

13.此空需填一个动词的过去分词，表被动。学术氛围被形成，故用shaped。

14.由空后的from…可知美国的大学对于一切都竞争。

15.此空需填一个名词，由federalresearch可推知是政府的研究补助金。句意：教授为获得政府的研究补助金而竞争。

16.reston停留在…。由上文可知美国的大学为一切而竞争，教授为获得补助金而竞争，学生为了奖学金而竞争，整个大学都是在不断地向前的一种状态。故这空总结道：这意味着成功的大学不能停留在这些成就上。

17.regard…as把…认作；句意：美国总是将大学看作不仅仅是象牙塔。

18.空后有介词on,空格处要填名词，只有emphasis合适。句意：这种强调取得好结果成为了…。

19.此空需填形容词，美国大学对取得好结果的关注成为了其学术文化的显著特色。

20.此空需填动词。句意：美国开创了在学术界和工业界建立联系的艺术。美国首先开创了这门艺术，故用pioneered。

11.单选题

Hemanagedtostayinpowerforoverfiveyears,（）allthecriticismandthepressureonhimtoresign.

问题1选项

A.withstanding

B.withholding

C.withdrawing

D.witnessing

【答案】A

【解析】考查形似动词辨析。withstand“抵挡，禁得起，反抗”；withhold“克制，忍住”；withdraw“取款；回收；撤退”；witness“目击”。句意：他成功掌权五年多，经受住了各种批判和要他下台的压力。选项A符合题意。

12.单选题

Thecountry’srailwaynetworkwasexpandingrapidlyandthemanufactureofsteelrailswasa________businessforSheffieldfirms.

问题1选项

A.bulky

B.permanent

C.joint

D.lucrative

【答案】D

【解析】【选项释义】

A.bulky庞大的，大块头的B.permanent永久的，永恒的

C.joint联合的，共同的D.lucrative获利多的，利润丰厚的

【考查点】形容词辨析。

【解题思路】空格处作定语修饰下文的“business（业务）”，表示铁轨的制造是一项什么样的业务。and连接两个并列分句，说明对该业务的形容要和前半句“这个国家的铁路网络（railwaynetwork）正在迅速扩张（expandingrapidly）”相对应，铁路网络扩张就意味着对铁轨的需求量增大，制造铁轨的业务就会有可观的利润。lucrative指获得大量利润或收入，因此D选项lucrative“获利多的，利润丰厚的”最符合题意。

【干扰项排除】

A选项bulky“庞大的，大块头的”形容物时指体积大，难以搬运或储存，形容人时指身材高大肥胖，不能和“business（业务）”进行搭配；

B选项permanent“永久的，永恒的”指总是处于相同的状态，可长期持续下去，永久不变，不符合题干的语义逻辑；

C选项joint“联合的，共同的”指由两人或多人共同完成或涉及到两者及以上的，题干只提到了“Sheffieldfirms（谢菲尔德的公司）”一方，没有涉及两者。

【句意】这个国家的铁路网络正在迅速扩张，对谢菲尔德的公司来说，铁轨的制造是一项利润丰厚的业务。

D.DifferentHumorStrategies

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:B

第3题:D

第4题:D

第5题:A

【解析】1.语义推测题。根据第一段第一句Ifyouintendusinghumorinyourtalktomakepeoplesmile,youmustknowhowtoidentifysharedexperiencesandproblems.（如果你想在你的谈话中使用幽默使人们微笑，你必须知道如何识别共同的经历和问题。）和第三句Dependingonwhomyouareaddressing,theproblemswillbedifferent.（根据你的谈话对象，问题会有所不同。），可知幽默最重要的是讨论的问题，并且针对不同的人要用不同的问题，故C选项“向不同的人提出不同的问题”正确。A选项“利用不同类型的观众”和D选项“对听众表示同情”：根据第一段第二、三句，幽默必须与听众相关，是因为有助于同情听众从而亲近听众，策略在于谈论的问题。B选项“取笑那些没有条理的人”：文章没有提到。因此C选项正确。

2.语义推测题。A选项impolitetonewarrivals“对新人无礼”；B选项veryconsciousoftheirgodlikerole“非常清楚他们神一样的角色”；C选项entitledtosomeprivileges“有权享有某些特权”；D选项verybusyevenduringlunchhours“即使在午餐时间也很忙”。根据第二段第一句theaudienceallsharedthesameviewofdoctors（所有的听众都对医生有相同的看法）和最后一句“Oh,that’sGod,”camethereply“butsometimeshethinkshe’sadoctor.”（“哦，那是上帝，”他回答说，“但有时他认为自己是一名医生。”）可知，在护士眼中，医生是神一样的角色，故B选项“非常清楚他们神一样的角色”正确。其他选项不符合题意。因此B选项正确。

3.细节推断题。根据第三段第一句it’llbeappropriateforyoutomakeapassingremarkabouttheinediblecanteenfood（你就适合对餐厅难以下咽的食物开玩笑），可知对公共服务开玩笑往往幽默效果很不错，故D选项“经常拿来开玩笑”正确，C选项“不合适做幽默主题”错误。A选项“使许多人受益”和B选项“是公众关注的焦点”：文章没有提到。因此D选项正确。
