问题1选项

A.trivialities

B.biases

C.constraints

D.paradoxes

【答案】D

【解析】考查名词词义辨析。triviality“浅薄，轻浮，琐事”；bias“偏见，偏爱”；constraint“约束，局促”；paradox“悖论，反论，似非而是的论点，自相矛盾的人或事”。句意：电影的历史反映了这种媒体本身具备的矛盾：电影将静止的照片结合在一起区别表现连续的动作，而当呈现生活时，也经常提供一些不可能的和不真实的东西。选项D符合题意。

2.单选题

Thechairmanwasaskedtoresign,（

）totallyunfitforhispost.

问题1选项

A.havingconsidered

B.considering

C.tobeconsidered

D.beingconsidered

【答案】D

【解析】分析句子可知，逗号前后没有连接词，所以逗号后面不能是完整的句子，这里是分词短语做状语，前后为因果关系，所以选项C目的状语可首先排除；再根据句意可知，这里表被动，所以选项D正确。句意：主席被要求辞职，因为他被认为完全不适合这个职位。

3.单选题

问题1选项

A.scheme

B.scope

C.scrap

D.scale

【解析】考查名词辨析。A选项scheme“计划，诡计”；B选项scope“范围，视野”；C选项scrap“碎片，残余物”；D选项scale“规模，比例”。句意：在火星上着陆在目前物理理论的范围之内。选项B符合语境。

4.单选题

）translation.

问题1选项

【答案】B

【解析】形容词辨析题。A选项homogeneous“均匀的，同质的”；B选项simultaneous“同时的”；C选项instantaneous“瞬间的”；D选项spontaneous“自发的，无意识的”。句意：解决外交活动中的语言问题最成功的方法是同声传译。选项B符合句意。

5.翻译题

Therolesofadmissionintotheworldeconomynotonlyreflectlittleawarenessofdevelopingpriorities,theyareoftencompletelyunrelatedtosensibleeconomicprinciples.Forinstance,WTOagreementsonantidumping,subsidiesandcountervailingmeasures,agriculture,textiles,andtrade-relatedintellectualpropertyrightslackanyeconomicrationalebeyondthemercantilistinterestofanarrowsetofpowerfulgroupsinadvancedindustrialcountries.Bilateralandregionaltradeagreementsaretypicallyfarworse,astheyimposeeventighterprerequisitesondevelopingcountriesinreturnforcrumbsofenhanced“marketaccess”.Forexample,theAfricanGrowthandOpportunityActsignedbyU.S.PresidentClintoninMay2000providesincreasedaccesstotheU.S.marketonlyifAfricanapparelmanufacturersuseU.S.producedfabricandyams.ThisrestrictionseverelylimitsthepotentialeconomicspilloverinAfricancountries.

【答案】加入世界经济的作用在于不仅反映出人们对发展重点的认识不足，而且往往与合理的经济原则完全无关。例如，WTO关于反倾销、补贴和反补贴措施、农业、纺织品以及与贸易有关的知识产权等的协议，除了发达工业国家中少数强大集团的重商主义利益之外，缺乏其他任何经济依据。而双边和区域贸易协定通常要糟糕得多，因为它们要求发展中国家满足更严格的先决条件，来换取少量的“市场准入”。例如，美国总统克林顿2000年5月签署的《非洲增长与机会法案》规定，非洲服装制造商只有使用美国生产的织物和棉纱，才能扩大进入美国市场的机会。这一限制严重限制了非洲国家潜在的经济溢出效应。

6.单选题

Oneoftheseriousproblemsfacingusis（）ofhowtogetmorewaterformantouse.

问题1选项

A.that

B.it

C.which

D.what

【答案】A

【解析】句意:我们面临的一个严重问题是如何获得更多的水供人类使用。

语法题。考查从句。空格后面是is的表语，因此后面部分只能是名词性结构或者从句。这里用that指代前面的problem，故选A。

7.单选题

Youmayneverexperienceanearthquakeoravolcaniceruptioninyourlife,butyouwill（）changesintheland.

问题1选项

A.adapt

B.adopt

C.witness

D.define

【答案】C

【解析】考查动词辨析。A选项adapt“适应，改编”；B选项adopt“采取，接受”；C选项witness“目击，见证”；D选项define“定义，规定”。句意：在你的生命中你可能从来没有经历过地震或火山爆发，但是你将见证这片土地的变化。选项C符合语境。

8.单选题

Itwas（

）thattherestaurantdiscriminatedagainstblackcustomers.

问题1选项

A.addicted

B.assaulted

C.alleged

D.ascribed

【答案】C

【解析】【试题解析】考查动词辨析。A选项addict“使沉迷”；B选项assault“攻击、袭击”；C选项allege“宣称，断言”；D选项ascribe“归于”。这里重点考查的是固定搭配itisallegedthat意思是“据指称，有人称”。根据从句部分“therestaurantdiscriminatedagainstblackcustomers”可知空格部分意思为“据说，据称”，句意为：据说这家旅店歧视黑人顾客。选项C符合句子语境意思。

9.单选题

Patentmedicinesalesmenhaveclaimedtohave（

）foralltypesofailments,fromcancertobaldnesstothecommoncold.

问题1选项

A.riddles

B.quandaries

C.remedies

D.remnant

【答案】C

【解析】riddle谜语，谜一般的人、东西、事情等；quandary困惑，窘境，为难；remedy补救，治疗；remnant剩余。句意：专利药品的销售人员声称他们有治疗各种疾病的方法，从癌症到秃顶再到普通感冒。选项C符合句意。

10.单选题

Allthedatasentbackfromthesatellitessuggestedthatanasteroidofaboutthesizeofanauditorium（）onitswaytoourplanet.

问题1选项

A.is

B.was

C.were

D.be

【答案】B

【解析】考查谓语动词使用的一致性。that接在动词后面充当句中的宾语从句。主句使用的是一般过去式，宾语从句中的谓语动词，应与主句的时态保持一致。因此空格处应使用be动词的过去式was/were。从句中的主语是anasteroid“一颗小行星”为单数，所以应使用was。句意：从卫星发来的所有数据表明一颗像礼堂一样大小的行星正在向我们的星球靠近。因此B选项符合题意。

11.单选题

FollowingtheguidelinesforspeakingandvotingestablishedbythebookRobert'sRulesofOrder,（

）duringthemeeting.

问题1选项

A.andavoidlargedecision-makingorganizations’proceduralcanfusion

B.largedecision-makingorganizationsavoidproceduralconfusion

C.isproceduralconfusionavoidedbylargedecision-makingorganizations

D.areavoidingproceduralconfusioninlargedecision-makingorganizations

【答案】B

【解析】考查主谓结构。题干主语为Followingtheguidelines，其后的forspeakingandvotingestablishedbythebookRobert'sRulesofOrder是后置定语。句意：遵循罗伯特的《议事规则》这本书里的指导方针，大型决策机构可以避免会议中的程序混乱。C项意思不符，D项主谓不一致，A项结构不对，故答案为B。

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:D

第3题:A

第4题:B

第5题:B

【解析】第1题:1.事实细节题。第五段指出：AlthoughAmericansaremoretolerantofoneanotherthanwerepreviousgenerations,theytrustoneanotherless(尽管美国人比前几代人对彼此更加宽容，但他们对彼此的信任却减少了)，因此，C项“美国人彼此比从前更加宽容和包容，但是彼此间的信任却减少了”正确。

第2题:2.事实细节题。根据题干关键词stagnant可定位至第五段“…employmentopportunitiesforpolice,lawyers,andsecuritypersonnelwerestagnant”，警察、律师和保安人员的就业前景变得昏暗。因此，本题选D项“护理助理”。

第3题:3.事实细节题。第三段指出：Americanssign30percentfewerpetitionsandare40percentlesslikelytojoinaconsumerboycott(美国人签署的请愿书不到30%，40%的人不那么想参加消费者抵制活动了)，由此可知A项“签署的请愿书的人不到30%，参与消费者抵制活动的人不到40%”正确。

第4题:4.事实细节题。题干问的是:家庭结构如何影响人们的公民参与？A：人们发现看电视比参加户外活动更有趣。这不是“家庭结构”这一要素所产生的影响，故排除。B：因为传统参与公共活动的方式不适合单身的和没孩子的人群。第七段指出：...asconventionalavenuestocivicinvolvementarenotwell-designedforsingleandchildlesspeople(因为传统参与公共活动的方式不适合单身的和没孩子的人群)。因此B项正确。C：家庭成员之间的矛盾，使得人们无法参与公共活动，文章并未提及。D：人们没有太多的时间享受休闲时光。第七段指出：Suburbansprawlhasfracturedthespatialintegrityofpeople's.Theytravelmuchfurthertowork,shopandenjoyleisureopportunities.Asaresultthereislesstimeavailable（andlessinclination）tobecomeinvolvedingroups（市郊的扩张割裂了人们生活空间的完整性。人们必须长途跋涉到更远的地方去工作、购物和享受闲暇时光。因此，参与团体的时间更少（倾向也更少））。因此D项不正确。综上所述，本题选B。

第5题:5.判断推理题。最后一段表明：针对这一论点，有各种各样的批评——最能说明问题的是，最初的批评是针对数据及其解释的——然而，普特南提出了一个非常重要和持久的论点——但是目前还无法给出一个定论。因此B项“要解决公民社会的问题，还需要大量的讨论”正确。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:C

第3题:D

【解析】1.细节题。题干：根据这篇文章，美国没有做到______。第一段第二句说到“ItremovedtheironruleofSaddamHussein,butcreatedananarchicvoidinIraqintowhichIranhasextendeditsinfluence”，说明美国推倒了萨达姆的统治，在伊拉克造成了统治空白，伊朗趁机扩大了影响力，选项A、C、D都是美国做成的，但是B选项没有。因此B选项符合题意。

2.指代题。第二段第一句“InEuropethereisadegreeofacceptablethat,soonerorlater,theworldmayhavetodealwithanuclear-armedIran”说到伊朗核武器的问题让整个欧洲担心。因此“thatprospect”说的就是“拥有核武器的伊朗”，C选项符合题意。

3.观点题。题干：RayTakeyh敦促美国政府______。文章最后一段提到“bettertodealwiththepragmatists,andstrengthenthem,ratherthangivefreereintotheradicals”，更好的办法是，与伊朗方面的实用派谈判，而不是放任激进派。因此D选项符合题意。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:B

第3题:C

第4题:D

第5题:A

【解析】1.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】主旨大意题。文章第一段主要讲讽刺文学的特点，讽刺作品的一些特性。第二段第一句提到了讽刺作品存在是因为人们对它有需求。综合理解全文，文章主要是在分析讽刺作品流行，被人广泛地接受的原因。故正确答案选D。选项A、B文章没有提及，选项C意思与文章第一段第四句的描述相反。

2.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】细节事实题。定位到文章第一段第四句“Satiristsdonotoffertheworldnewphilosophies.讽刺作家没有为世界贡献新的哲学”排除A，文章第一段倒数第三句“Satiresarereadbecausetheyareaestheticallysatisfyingworksofart,notbecausetheyaremorallywholesomeorethicallyinstructive.人们读讽刺作品是因为在审美上它们是令人满意的文学作品，而不是因为道德的完美和伦理的说教”，由此可以排除C。选项D文章并未提及。故正确答案选B。

3.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】细节推断题。定位到文章第二段第二句“Ithaslivedbecausereadersappreciatearefreshingstimulus,anirreverentreminderthattheylivedinaworldofplatitudinousthinking,cheapmoralizing,andfoolishphilosophy.它的存在是因为读者欣赏使人耳目一新的刺激，直接向人们指出我们生活在一个思想平凡、道德廉价和哲学愚蠢的世界里”，由此可判断，正确答案选C。

4.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】细节推断题。定位到文章第一段倒数第二句“Theyarestimulatingandrefreshingbecausewithcommonsensebrisknesstheybrushawayillusionsandsecondhandopinions.Withspontaneousirreverence,satirerearrangesperspectives,...它们启发人生，使人耳目一新是因为它们用简明的常识洗刷去了幻觉和旧的常识。讽刺作品用自然的嘲讽态度重新设置了观点，……”，由此可知，阅读讽刺文学的读者，会重新看待旧的常识和事物，重新审视自身具有的观点。选项D符合题意。

5.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】细节推断题。定位到文章第一段第五句“Whattheydoistolookatfamiliarconditionsformaperspectivethatmakestheseconditionsseemfoolish,harmfuloraffected.他们所做的是采取这样一种立场看待熟悉的环境，使得它们看上去愚蠢、有害或者造作。”可知选项A并不是讽刺文学作品写作的目的。故正确答案选A。

16.填空题

Peoplewithdepressionmayhavelowself-esteem,asenseofhopelessnessaboutthefuture,andalackofinterestinpeopleandactivitiesoncefound________.(pleasure)

【答案】pleasurable

【解析】【考查点】形容词。

【解题思路】oncefound________是修饰peopleandactivities的后置定语，指的是曾经让抑郁症患者感到愉快的人和活动，横线所在内容修饰peopleandactivities，应为形容词，pleasurable的意思为“愉快的”，符合语境。

【句意】抑郁症患者可能自尊心较低，对未来感到绝望，对曾经令其愉快的人和活动缺乏兴趣。
