Hisclassmateswererepelledbyhis______andcomplainingstatements.

问题1选项

A.detrimental

B.obscure

C.querulous

D.rancorous

【答案】C

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A项detrimental表示“不利的，有害的”，B项obscure表示“昏暗的，朦胧的，晦涩的”，C项querulous表示“易怒的，暴躁的，爱发牢骚的”，D项rancorous表示“怀恶意的，深恨的”。根据关键词complaining（抱怨）可知，并列的空格处填入“爱发牢骚的”符合语境。句意：他的同学们被他的牢骚和抱怨所厌恶。因此，该题选择C项正确。

【答案】简朴是思想深度的外在标志和象征。在我看来，简朴是在学术和写作中最难做到的事情。思想清晰是很难的，然而只有当思想变得清晰时，简朴才会实现。当我们看到一个作家绞尽脑汁的时候，或许这个想法正在折磨他。这一观点通常被如下事实所证明：一个刚毕业的高材生做了学校的助教，他写出的文章通常深奥难懂，而只有老教授才能有简明的思想和简易的表达。

简朴意味着领悟和成熟。随着年龄的增长，我们的思想会变得更清晰，无用或者错误的东西将不会困扰我们。思想更明确，而且经过长期的训练，我们的思想逐渐形成了它自己简明的模式，这暗示了思想清晰的开始。届时，我们的思想达到了真正的高度，这就叫“智慧”。于是，真理变得简单，而且理解不费力，因为它变得更清晰了。

3.翻译题

学习外语对我来说是非常艰辛的经历，但却是一种无比珍贵的经历。它不仅使我知道了艰苦努力的意义，而且，使我认识了不同的文化，让我以一种全新的思维去看待事物，学习外语最令人兴奋的收获是我能与更多的人交流。我乐于与人交谈，新的语言使我能与以前不认识的人交往，参与他们的谈话，并建立新的难以忘怀的友谊。现在我已能够说英语，别人讲英语时我不再茫然不解了。我能够参与并结交朋友。我能理解别人的话，并能够弥合我所说的语言和所处的文化与他们的语言和文化之间的鸿沟。尽管我还是常常出错，仍处于继续学习阶段，但我已尝到刻苦学习的甜头。

4.单选题

The（）BritishtheoreticalphysicistStephenHawkingoncesaidinaninterviewthatheavenisafairystoryforpeopleafraidofthedark.

问题1选项

A.imposing

B.lofty

C.prominent

D.eminent

【答案】D

【解析】考查形容词词义辨析。空格处应填入形容词修饰physicist。imposing“壮观的，威风的”；lofty“崇高的，高傲的”；prominent“突出的，显著的”；eminent“杰出的，有名的”。句意：英国杰出的理论物理学家斯蒂芬•霍金曾在一次采访中说，天堂是为害怕黑暗的人准备的童话故事。因此D选项符合题意。

5.单选题

Theliberalartseducationasksthatweconfrontourunexaminedworldviewwithhistoricalunderstanding,newtheoriesandintercultural（）.

问题1选项

A.prospects

B.perspectives

C.aspects

D.respects

【答案】B

【解析】名词词义辨析。prospect“前景;期望”;perspective“观点，远景”;aspect“方面，形势”;respect“尊敬,尊重”。句意:文科教育要求我们用历史理解、新理论和跨文化视角来看待我们未经检验的世界观。

根据句意可知，填空处是表示看待未经检验的世界观的方式和角度，perspectives和aspects都有“角度”的意思。但perspective强调主体,指人观察或思考的角度;而aspect强调客体,指事物的某个方面。句中强调的是我们看待世界的跨文化角度，所以选项B更符合语境。

第5题:D

【解析】1.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】细节事实题。由题干可以定位到文中第二段第三句Butthefallofthecallisdrivenby18-to-34-year-olds,whoseaveragemonthlyvoiceminuteshaveplungedfromabout1,200to900inthepasttwoyears,accordingtotheresearchbyNielsen.（尼尔森公司的调查显示，18岁至34岁的年轻人是通话次数减少的主要原因，在过去两年中，他们每月平均通话时间从1200分钟下降到900分钟）。C选项“18到34岁的人群”，文章所说，18-34岁通话的人数减少，因此C选项正确。A选项“婴儿潮出生的一代人”，婴儿不能使用手机通话，因此A选项可排除。B选项“千禧之子”，文章只是说千禧一代的通话减少，但并不是主要原因。D选项“18到24岁的人群”，文章所说，这个时代的人，短信数量激增，因此也可排除D。因此正确答案为C选项。

2.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】细节事实题。根据题干我们可以定位到文章第三段第一句Youngpeoplesaytheyavoidvoicecallsbecausetheimmediacyofaphonecallstripsthemofthecontrol（年轻人说，他们不喜欢打语音电话，因为电话的即时性使他们失去了控制权）。A选项“他们觉得自己被剥夺了控制权”，符合文章内容，A选项正确。B选项“他们觉得没有亲密到可以打电话”，文章没有提到此内容，可排除。C选项“他们想要进行简短的对话”，他们认为打电话是一种打扰，并不是简短的对话，C选项可排除。D选项“他们成了忽视电话的受害者”，文章没有提到这个内容，可排除。因此正确答案为A选项。

3.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】细节事实题。由题干可以定位到文章第三段最后一句Thebias,againstunexpectedphonecallsstemsingoodpartfromthewaytextingande-mailhaveconditionedyoungpeopletobecautiousabouthowtheycommunicatewhentheyarenotfacetoface,experts,say.（专家表示，这种对“意外来电”的偏见很大程度上源于短信和电子邮件的方式，这种方式使年轻人在非面对面交流时谨慎对待交流方式）。B选项“它的根源在于，电子邮件和短信使他们能够做出更谨慎的回应”，符合文章所说的内容，短信和电子邮件使年轻人有更谨慎的回应，因此B选项正确。A选项“这是因为他们害怕他们可能会被认为是粗鲁或侵犯”，A选项的情节过于严重，文章是说他们认为打电话是一种打扰，A选项可排除。C选项“他们倾向于在打电话之前先发短信预约”，文章没有提到这个内容，可排除。D选项“他们不太喜欢面对面的交流”，这并不是造成他们对打电话的偏见的主要原因，D选项可排除。因此正确答案为B选项。

4.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】细节事实题。由题干可以定位到文章第四段最后一句Onestudenttoldmethatittakesherdaystocallherparentsbackandtheparentsthoughtshewasintentionallyputtingthemoff.”shesaid.“Buttheparentsdidn’tgetit.It’sthemedium”.（“一个学生告诉我，她花了好几天时间给父母回电话，而父母认为她是故意拖延。”她说。“但家长们并不理解。它是媒介”）。B选项“这是不同的媒介”，父母和孩子对待打电话的观念不一样，孩子认为打电话属于一种媒介，父母却不理解，因此B选项正确。A选项“他们的孩子只是太忙了，没有时间回复”，文章并没有提到此内容，因此可排除A选项。C选项“孩子们抱怨频繁的电话”，文章没有提到孩子抱怨接电话，可排除。D选项“他们正在干涉孩子们的生活”，不符合文章内容，可排除。因此正确答案为B选项。

5.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】推理判断题。由题干可以定位到文章倒数第二段第一句Thedifferenceincommunicationspreferenceshascreatedapalpableperceptiongapbetweenyoungadultsandtheirparents.（在沟通偏好上的差异已经在年轻人和他们的父母之间造成了一个明显的认知鸿沟）最后一段最后一句OnedayshecalledmewhenIwasatwork,andItoldher,‘Insteadofcallingme,canyoutextme?’‘What?Youdon’tliketohearfromme?Youdon’tlikethesoundofmyvoice?’Shesaid.”（有一天她在我工作的时候给我打电话，我告诉她，“你能不能别给我打电话，发个短信给我？”“什么？你不喜欢我的消息吗？你不喜欢我的声音吗？”她说）。可推测年轻人与父母沟通方式上产生着差异。D选项“由于沟通偏好的不同，产生了感知差距”，符合文章内容，D选项正确。A选项“电话越来越少应该引起年轻人的关注”，从这两位的话语，并不能体现这个内容，可排除A。B选项“通讯方式的改变从根本上改变了人们的生活”，文中只是说父母和年轻人的通讯方式不一样，并没有从根本上发生改变。B选项可排除。C选项“接电话对年轻人造成很大的压力”，年轻人只是不喜欢接电话，并不是说接电话会让他们产生较大的压力。因此正确答案为D选项。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:B

第3题:C

第4题:D

【解析】1.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】客观细节题。由题干可以定位到文章第二段最后一句Nobodyatthetime,andnobodyrightuptothemiddleofthe20th-century,waswillingtoputpublichealthabovebusinessinterests.（在那个时候，直到20世纪中叶，都没有人愿意把公共健康置于商业利益之上。），说明20世纪中叶之前没有人愿意把公共健康置于商业利益之上。因此D选项“直到20世纪50年代，才有人愿意将公众健康置于商业利益之上”正确。A选项“芬芳抗烟计划是由约翰•伊夫林的孩子提出的”，原文只说芬芳抗烟计划是约翰•伊夫林的想法，所以A错误。B选项“查理二世国王一开始就不满意约翰•伊夫林的提议”，与原文的muchpleasedwith（非常满意）相反，所以B错误。C选项“反烟害法案的起草过程比较缓慢”，与原文的duly（按时的）不符，所以C错误。

2.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】词义推测题。由题干可以定位到文章第三段第二句London’svaporous,mutatingclouds（伦敦蒸汽缭绕，如同变异的雾霭），再结合第一段的sulfurousclouds（硫磺雾霾）和urbansmoke-creatingindustry（城市里所有制造浓烟的工业），说明在画室窗上的“grime”是煤尘污垢。因此B选项“污垢、灰尘”正确。A选项“雾”，C选项“霜”，D选项“颜料”均不符合题意，所以A，C，D错误。

3.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】客观细节题。根据题干关键词可以定位到文章第四段第二句Aprevailingwesterlywindmeantthatthosedwellingtotheeastwerealwaysatmostrisk.（盛行的西风意味着居住在东边的人总是处于最大的危险之中。），说明住在东边的人受到污染的影响更大。因此C选项“伦敦东部的贫民窟居民”正确。A选项“东部的富人居民”，由原文可知有钱人会搬家，所以A错误。B选项“西部的底层居民”，由原文可知西部居民受到的污染影响较小，所以B错误。D选项“大熔炉主人们的佣人”在文中没有提及，所以D错误。

4.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】观点态度题。由题干可以定位到文章最后一段，最后一段前两句指出为治理雾霾而努力的具体事件，第三句总结Withinafewyears,evenasthewaragainstpollutionwasstillinitsinfancy,thedreadedfogbegantofade.（短短几年后，即使与污染的斗争仍处于起步阶段，可怕的雾霾开始消退。），说明虽然刚刚开始，但治理雾霾的措施起作用了。因此D选项“尽管处于初期，但减少空气污染奏效了”正确。A选项“杀人大雾”给英国造成巨大的死亡，C选项“《空气清洁法案》的通过是一个漫长的过程”只是表层示例，所以A，C错误。B选项“英国媒体在这一过程中也发挥了重要作用”不是作者主要想表达的内容，所以B错误。

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:D

第3题:B

第4题:C

第5题:D

【解析】61.细节事实题。题干意思是“当前美国富人共同感兴趣的话题是什么？”。第二段提到Butincreasingly,centristandright-wingbillionairesarestartingtoworryaboutincomeinequalityandthefateofthemiddleclass.（但越来越多的中间派和右翼亿万富翁开始担心收入不平等和中产阶级的命运），可知当前美国富人共同感兴趣的话题是收入不平等和中产阶级的命运，所以C项“财富分配的不平等”正确。A项“超级富豪的命运”和D项“左翼和右翼之间的冲突”在文中没有提到；B项“中产阶级的解体”太片面，美国富人担心的是国家与中产阶级的核心交易的瓦解。因此，该题选择C项正确。

62.推理判断题。题干意思是“我们从MortimerZuckerman的悲叹中学到了什么？”。根据题干定位到文章第三段，原文提到Mostofoureconomicgainshavegonetopeopleattheverytopoftheincomeladder.Averageincomeforahouse-holdofpeopleofworkingage,bycontrast,hasfallenfiveyearsinarow.（我们的大部分经济收益都流向了收入阶梯最顶端的人；相比之下，工薪阶层家庭的平均收入却连续5年下降），可推断，尽管国家财富增长，但大多流向了收入最顶端的人，大部分的美国人得到的越来越少，故D项“大多数美国人从国家不断增长的财富中获益甚少”正确，由此也可知A项“许多中等收入家庭未能争取到更好的福利”错误；第三段最后一句讲到TensofmillionsofAmericansliveinfearthatamajorhealthproblemcanreducethemtobankruptcy.（数以千万计的美国人生活在恐惧之中，担心一个重大的健康问题就会让他们破产），由此可知B项“美国的经济体制已经导致许多公司破产”表述与原文不符；C项“美国国家变得越来越分裂，尽管它很富有”在该段没有提到。因此，该题选择D项正确。

63.推理判断题。题干意思是“从第五段我们可以了解到……”。第五段第二句提到TheveryricharejustastrendyasyouandI,andcanbesowhenitcomestopoliticsandpolicy.（富人和你我一样适应潮流，在政治和政策方面也可以如此），可以推断，富人在政治和政策方面也非常敏感，故B项“非常富有的人在政治上很敏感”正确。A项“非常富有的人有时尚意识”是文中的一个比较，用来突出富人在政治方面的敏感性，该项不选；由andeffortsbyCalifornian’sgovernortoofferuniversalhealthcare（以及加州州长提供全民医疗保健的努力）这一句可知，C项“全民医疗保健将在整个美国实施”表述错误；D项“国会通过提高最低工资获得了欢迎”，文中只提到了国会提高最低工资等措施的流行，并没有描述它的欢迎程度。因此，该题选择B项正确。

64.细节事实题。题干意思是“富豪们表达与中产阶级团结一致的真正原因是什么？”。根据第六段No,whattheyfearwasthatthepoliticalchallengesofsustainingsupportforglobaleconomicintegrationwillbemoredifficultintheUnitedStatesbecauseofwhathashappenedtothedistributionofincomeandeconomicinsecurity.（不，他们担心的是，由于收入分配不均和经济不安全，美国面临的持续支持全球经济一体化的政治挑战将更加困难）可知，富豪们表达与中产阶级团结一致的真正原因是想得到全球经济一体化的支持，故C项“他们希望获得对全球经济一体化的支持”正确。由第五段最后一句Buttheprospectthatincomeinequalitywillleadtohighertaxesonthewealthydoesn’tkeepplutocratsupatnight.Theycanlivewiththat.（但收入不平等将导致对富人增税的前景不会让富豪们夜不能寐，他们承受得了）可知，A项“他们想保护自己不被没收”和D项“他们感到越来越受到经济不安全感的威胁”不符合原文；B项“他们知道中产阶级对社会贡献最大”在文中没有提及。因此，该题选择C项正确。

65.细节事实题。题干意思是“如果美国对外国投资者和外国商品设置障碍，会发生什么？”。由最后一段倒数第二句AndwhentheUnitedStatesplacesobstaclesinthewayofforeigninvestorsandforeigngoods,it’slikelytoencouragereciprocalactionabroad.（当美国为外国投资者和外国商品设置障碍时，很可能会鼓励国外的对等行动）可知，如果美国对外国投资者和外国商品设置障碍，其他国家也会采取相应的措施，故D项“外国将设置同样的经济壁垒作为回报”正确。A项“进口商品的价格将不可避免地飙升到无法控制的程度”、B项“投资者将不得不做出巨大的努力来重新配置资本”和C项“富人将试图跨越国界购买外国公司”在文中都未提及。因此，该题选择D项正确。
