【答案】第1题:C

第2题:C

第3题:B

第4题:A

第5题:C

【解析】1.细节推断题。根据第一段的内容可知，有人认为，学校变得官僚化，忽视他们成立的目的。选项C符合原文。选项B中的教育成本高在文中没有提及，所以不正确。

2.语义题。根据第四段的内容可知，schoolcommunity包括consumers和teachers。再根据第二段的内容可知，schoolcommunity还包括students和parents，也就是consumers，所以选项C正确。

3.细节事实题。根据第四段倒数第二句“free-markettheorymaymissthemarkbyconcentratingononlyonesection,“theconsumers”.”自由市场理论可能只关注“消费者”这一部分而没有切中要害。而这个要害即下文提到的“teachers”,所以选项B符合原文。

4.细节推断题。根据最后一段最后一句，尽管自由市场理论认为个人应该被允许追求自己的目标，但它们必须解释为什么任何一套价值观，包括他们自己的价值观，都比另一套更可取。也就是说，自由市场理论没有解释为什么自己的价值观比别人的好。选项A符合原文。

5.语义题。原文最后一段最后一句即是对“chargeofrelativism”的解释。由此可以看出，自由市场理论的价值观太自私，所以选项C正确。

2.单选题

Asanurse,Dorothyisanaturalhealerwhoisendowedwithcompassionandhasavarietyofmodalitiestobenefitherpatientsofallages.

问题1选项

A.bravery

B.expertise

C.proficiency

D.sympathy

【答案】D

【解析】【选项释义】

A.bravery勇敢B.expertise专门知识；专门技术

C.proficiency精通；熟练D.sympathy同情；慰问

【答案】D

【考查点】名词辨析。

【解题思路】由本句句意可知作为一名护士，所应该有的是同情心以及专业的知识，而从前半句中的“naturalhealer（天生的治疗师）”可知天生所拥有的是同情心，所以D选项“同情，慰问”符合题意。划线单词compassion“同情”。

【干扰项排除】

A选项bravery勇敢，与护士治疗病人无关，不符合句意；

B选项expertise专门知识；专门技术，因为说的是天生的治疗师，因此应该是天生所具有的品格，专门知识是后天所拥有的；

C选项proficiency精通；熟练，这也是后天才具备的，不符合句意。

【句意】作为一名护士，多萝西是一个天生的治疗师，她被赋予了同情心，有各种各样的方式来帮助她的所有年龄的病人。

3.单选题

问题1选项

A.intention

B.instinct

C.integrity

【解析】句意:市长是一位正直的女性，因此值得我们在政治上和经济上给予支持。

考查形近词辨析。intention意图;打算；instinct本能;直觉;integrity诚实正直;完整;完好;intensity强调。根据后半句句意“因此值得我们在政治上和经济上给予支持”可知C符合句意。

4.单选题

Architecturalpressuregroupsfoughtunsuccessfullytosaveaterraceofeighteenthcenturyhousesfrom（）.

问题1选项

A.abolition

B.demolition

C.disruption

D.dismantling

【答案】B

【解析】本题考查了动词辨析。abolition“废除；废止”；demolition“毁坏；拆毁（带有破坏感）”；disruption“分裂；瓦解”；dismantling“拆开，拆卸（机器或结构）”，根据terrace“台阶；门廊”可知此处应该选择动词demolition，故正确答案为选项B。句意为：建筑力学群体没有能够成功保护一个十八世纪的台阶免遭拆除。

第4题:A

第5题:B

第6题:D

第7题:D

第8题:D

第9题:B

第10题:D

【解析】（1）根据句意可知,这里指资助战争,只有选项B能与之搭配。

（3）offsetthedeficit为固定搭配,指“弥补财政赤字”,选项B正确。

（4）根据句意：财政部可以通过发行更多的纸币,简单地扩大货币供应,以此来偿还政府的债务来。只有选项A符合句意。

（5）excessively过分地,极度；automatically自动地；approximately大约,近似地；appropriately适当地,相称地”。句意：货币供应量的增加将使美元随之贬值。这种变化是无意识的,所以选项B更恰当。

（6）meetthedemand为固定搭配,指“满足需求”,选项D正确。

（7）结合上下文,上句提到如果人们有更多的钱就会扩大消费,导致物资缺乏,工厂会扩大生产,提高价格来满足需求；下句提到如果人们看到商品价格上涨也会买,甚至不惜借高利贷来支付。下句讲述更深一层的结果,前后构成递进的关系,所以选项D正确。

（8）interestrates为常用词组搭配,意为“利率”,选项D正确。

（9）考查虚拟语气,虚拟语气中与将来事实相反,从句中用“should+动词原形”,且should可以省略。这里wages与increase是被动关系,所以选项B正确。

（10）根据句意可知,企业提高工人工资,将产品成本转移到了顾客也就是消费者的身上,选项D符合原文语境。

）whattheyhadbeentold.

问题1选项

A.thattheybelieved

B.didtheybelieve

C.whentheybelieved

D.thentheybelieved

【答案】B

【解析】【试题解析】考查语法结构。这里考查的是部分倒装结构。notuntil位于句首时，句子要倒装。notuntil+从句，助动词+主语+谓语动词原形+剩余成分；空格部分所在的句子中，需要将did助动词提前，句意为：直到他们爬上山顶，他们才相信别人所说的。故正确答案选B。

D.thecharacteristicsofdifferentkindsofbiographies

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:D

第3题:C

第4题:B

第5题:D

【解析】第1题:细节事实题。由文章第一段中的Thebiographerhastodancebetweentwoshakypositionswithrespecttothesubject.Tooclosearelation,andthewritermayloseobjectivity.Notcloseenough,andthewritermaylackthesympathynecessarytoanyefforttoportrayamind,asoul,thequalityoflife.（传记作者必须在关于这个传记对象的两个不稳定的立场之间摇摆。关系太亲密，作者可能会失去客观性。关系不够近，作者可能缺乏足够的激情去努力刻画人物的思想、灵魂这些生活的本质）可知A选项“非常了解这个传记对象，并与其保持适当的距离”符合题意。

第2题:推理判断题。文章第三段中的内容为：当他们的对象是英雄或著名人物时，传记往往揭示出一种民主的动机；他们试图向人民展示他们的主也只是人，并没有比任何人都好。而其它的传记则是有意要改变我们，鼓励我们变得比我们之前更好。圣经中耶稣的传记就属于后一类。

由此可知作者引用了耶稣在圣经中的传记，是为了表明传记可以有不同的目的，因此选D。

第3题:推理判断题。由文章最后一段中的Wesenseintuitivelythatnooneisinapositiontotell“the”storyofalife,perhapsnoteventhesubject,andthishasbeenprovedbythehistoryofbiography.（我们凭直觉认为没有作家是站在讲述一生的故事的位置的，可能甚至不是在传记对象的位置，这已经被传记的历史所证明了）可知C选项“没有人能写出完美的传记”符合题意。

第4题:细节事实题。由文章最后一段中的Inbookpromotions,the“unauthorized”characterizationusuallysuggeststheprospectofjuicygossipthatthesubjecthadhopedtosuppress.（在图书促销中，“未经授权”的描述通常暗示着传记对象希望抑制流言蜚语）可知B选项“它包含了关于传记对象的私人生活的有趣信息”。

第5题:主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了传记作家需要具备哪些能力以及不同种类传记的特点，因此D选项“不同类型传记的特点”。

问题1选项

A.complicated

B.inconsequential

C.fanciful

D.blatant

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容词同义辨析。A选项complicated“难懂的，复杂的”；B选项inconsequential“不重要的；不合理的；不合逻辑的”；C选项fanciful“想象的；稀奇的”；D选项blatant“喧嚣的；公然的；炫耀的；俗丽的”。句意：新手作家时常拥有的一个错误想法是句子结构反映想法，即结构越复杂，那么想法也就越复杂。根据句意判断出A选项正确。

19.单选题

Idisagreewiththeabhorrentwayyouuseotherpeople.

问题1选项

A.loathsome

B.wholesome

C.disgusted

D.ghastly

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A项loathsome“令人厌恶的，讨厌的”，B项wholesome“健全的，有益健康的”，C项disgusted“憎恶的，反感的”，D项ghastly“可怕的，惨白的”。句意：我不同意你可恶地利用别人。根据句意可知，abhorrent在句中表示“可恶的”。因此，该题选择A项。

20.单选题

问题1选项

A.established

B.maximized

C.guaranteed
