TheEnglishteacherpausedafewseconds______themosteffectivewordtoexpresshismeaning.

问题1选项

A.embarkingon

B.embroilingin

C.branchingout

D.gropingfor

【答案】D

【解析】考查短语辨析。A项embarkon“从事，着手，登上船”，B项embroilin“使（自己或某人）卷入，牵连”，C项branchout“长出枝条，扩展范围，偏离主题”，D项gropefor“探索”。由themosteffectiveword“最有效的词”可知，四个选项中只有gropefor符合语境。句意：英语老师停顿了几秒钟，想找一个最有效的词来表达他的意思。因此，该题选择D项正确。

9.Whatdoesthespeakersayaboutplayersofcontactsports?

【试题答案】B

【试题解析】题目问关于接触式运动的运动员，说话者说了什么？录音开头提到，从事接触式运动的人都知道，受伤最严重的往往是那些站着不动的人。B选项“他们需要保持移动以免受伤”是此处的同义表述，因此B选项正确。录音中提及接触式运动是不可能避免身体接触的，因此A选项“他们必须学会如何避免身体接触”不正确；C选项“他们相信有团队精神才能取得好成绩”在录音中没有提及；录音中强调的是站着不动的人往往受伤最严重，因此D选项“移动速度过快时可能受伤”不正确。

10.Whatdolongevitystatisticsrevealabouttheaverageperson?

【试题答案】D

【试题解析】题目问寿命统计数据揭示了普通人的什么？录音提到，寿命统计数据显示，一般人退休后活不了多久（theaveragepersondoesn’tlastverylongafterretirement）。因此D选项“他们退休后没有多少年的生活时间”正确。本题的干扰项是A选项，录音中有提到几位名人在很大的年纪也一直忙个不停，但并没有说这是一般人退休后的状态，因此A选项不正确；B选项“他们直到完全退休后才开始享受生活”和C选项“提前退休他们往往寿命更长”在录音中均没有提及，因此可排除。

11.Whatbonusdoesthe“keepmoving”principlebringusaccordingtothespeaker?

【试题答案】B

【试题解析】题目问“不断前进”的原则能给我们带来什么好处？录音最后部分提到：“不断前进”原则的一个好处是，当我们不断前进时，我们没有机会担忧（wedon’thaveachancetoworry），B选项是此处的同义表述，因此正确。A选项“它减缓了我们的衰老过程”和C选项“它使我们能够在生活中取得更多成就”在录音中没有信息提及；D选项“它为我们提供了更多的学习机会”主要是achance造成了干扰，录音中说的是achancetoworry，并不是chancestolearn，因此不正确。

4.单选题

B.shone

C.shot

D.flared

【答案】D

【解析】glare怒视，瞪眼；shine闪耀，多指光照，光线等；shoot射击；flare闪耀，多指火焰等。句意：巨大的火焰在夜空中闪耀。所以选项D正确。

5.单选题

Allthestudentsofthisuniversityhavefree（

）totheInternetviaabroadbandconnection.

问题1选项

A.access

B.entrance

C.permission

D.passageway

【答案】A

【解析】考查名词词义辨析。句意：大学的所有学生通过连接宽带都可以免费上网。access“进入；机会”；entrance“入口”；permission“允许，许可”；passageway“通道，走廊”。根据句意，选项A符合题意。

6.单选题

问题1选项

A.myback

B.myhead

C.myeye

D.myshoulder

【答案】A

【解析】考查固定搭配。turnone’sbackon为固定搭配，意为“不理会……，不肯给予……帮助”。句意：句意：她对我一直很好，现在她需要我的帮助，我不能不管。由搭配和句意可知，A选项符合句意。

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:A

第3题:B

第4题:D

第5题:A

【解析】1.细节事实题。由文章第一段中的Fewofusarecontenttoacceptourselvesasweare,andfewarebraveenoughtoignorethetrendsoffashion.（我们中很少有人满足于接受自己的现状，也很少有人敢忽视时尚潮流）可知C选项“很难忽视时尚”符合题意。

2.细节事实题。由文章第二段中的wewillbeabletomeetnewpeoplewithconfidenceanddealwitheverysituationconfidentlyandwithoutembarrassment（我们将能够充满信心地认识新的人，并且能够自信地、毫不尴尬地处理每一件事）可知时尚杂志和电视广告将时尚与人的自信联系在一起，因此选A。

3.细节事实题。由文章第三段中的Sometimesconvenienceorpracticalnecessityorjustthefancyofaninfluentialpersoncanestablishafashion.（有时是方便或实际需要，或仅仅是一个有影响力的人的幻想就能建立起一种时尚）可知导致时尚变化的原因是多变的，因此选B。

4.推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中的Itisnolongernecessarytodresslikeeveryoneelse.Withinreason,youcandressasyoulikeordoyourhairthewayyoulikeinsteadofthewayyoushouldbecauseitisthefashion.（不再需要像其他人那样穿衣服了。在合理的范围内，你可以穿自己喜欢的衣服，也可以用你喜欢的方式做头发，而不是你应该做的样子，因为这是时尚）可知当今社会更尊重个人选择，强调个性化，因此选D。

5.主旨大意题。由文章最后一段中的第一句Atthesametime,appearanceisstillimportantincertaincircumstancesandthenwemustchooseourclothescarefully.（同时，外表在某些情况下仍然很重要，所以我们必须谨慎地选择我们的衣服）可知A选项“在正式场合下需要注意外貌形象”符合题意。

8.单选题

Itisawell-knownfactthatthecatfamily___lionsandtigers.

问题1选项

A.enriches

B.accommodates

C.adopts

D.embraces

【答案】D

【解析】考查动词辨析。A选项enriches“使充实；使肥沃；使富足”；B选项accommodates“容纳；使适应；供应；调解”；C选项adopts“采取；接受；收养；正式通过”；D选项embraces“拥抱；欣然采纳；信奉；包含”。句意：众所周知，猫科动物___狮子和老虎。本句表达“猫科动物包括老虎和狮子”，因此D选项正确。

9.翻译题

现代城市对人类的悲剧性影响在于它扼杀了人类的美感。一个富足社会的物质利益使人们的注意力从城市和文化的底蕴转移到科技产品上：洗衣机、中央供暖、自动炊具、电视机、电脑和尺寸形状恰好的地毯。此时此刻，他们沉醉在民主、小康、有车开的幸福中，生活从来没有这么好。

他们不愿意走路。统计表明：他们把从停车场到购物中心的距离设计得很短，由于没有足够的远离街道的停车设施，城市到处都是在马路随便停靠的汽车和停车计价表。拥挤成为影响环境的主要因素，从统计中看出：每个家庭拥有两辆车的状况会使事情更糟。

同时，“地价”带来的不仅是伤害，还有侮辱。土地的价值缘于它的用途，它的收入来自它提供的服务。当它的用途被加强，它的收入和价值也就增加。“充分合理利用土地”成为城市发展主要经济标准。这种投机的方法和人口增长带来的压力导致了城市的“垂直”上升，人们也不得不适应这种拥挤来维持这些相对虚假的土地价值。荒谬的是试图消除拥挤的良方就是创造更多的拥挤。

部分的分散，或者叫虚假的分散，在远离传统市镇中心的地方大片开发，只是把疾病转移到市镇的周边。如果没有和市镇交通系统重建相结合起来的话，就无法治愈。对于这一点，铺设复杂的十字路口的必要性强烈影响工程解决办法，反过来，又被夸张的地价挫败。

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:A

第3题:C

第4题:B

第5题:B

【解析】1.细节事实题。第一段指出:ButembarrassingscandalsandthepopularityoftherepublicanleftintherecentEuro-electionshaveforcedhimtoeathiswordsandstanddown(然而在近来欧洲选举中所留下的令人尴尬的丑闻和共和党人的声望却迫使他食言而退位)。由此可知C项“尴尬地结束自己的统治”正确。

2.判断推理题。第三段指出:Itisthisapparenttranscendenceofpoliticsthatexplainsmonarchs'continuingpopularityasheadsofstates(这种明显的政治超越解释了君主们作为国家元首的持续受欢迎)。...mostroyalfamilieshavesurvivedbecausetheyallowvoterstoavoidthedifficultsearchforanon-controversialbutrespectablepublicfigure.……(大多数皇室幸存的原因是他们让选民避免困难地去寻找没有争议但却可敬重的公众人物)。由此可知A项“由于他们无疑问且可敬重的地位”正确。

3.细节事实题。第四段指出:...itisbizarrethatwealthyaristocraticfamiliesshouldstillbethesymbolicheartofmodemdemocraticfamiliesandshouldstillbethesymbolicheartofmodemdemocraticstates(奇怪的是富有的贵族家鹿应该仍然是现代民主家庭和国家的象征性核心),由此可知C项“贵族在现代民主政治中的角色”正确。

4.推理判断题。最后一段指出:ThedangerwillcomewithCharles,whohasbothanexpensivetasteoflifestyleandaprettyhierarchicalviewoftheworld(危险将从查尔斯（王子）开始，他有一种奢华的生活品味，且对世界有着相当等级制度的观点)。可推知B项“未能按照建议来改变自己的生活方式”正确。

5.主旨大意题。文章第二段指出:.事实上当公众舆论特别两极分化时，西班牙国王退位的例子为支持和反对君主政治提供了论据。而且后续段落围绕“欧洲君主们应对君主政体所面临的危机而采取的方式”可推知B项“对所有欧洲君主们而言是一个教训的西班牙国王胡安•卡洛斯”比较适合作文章标题。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:D

第3题:B

第4题:A

第5题:B

【解析】1.推理判断题。根据第一段的内容“自动化减少了生产过程中的人为因素，包括精神和身体上的因素，旨在使这样一种情况成为可能——用更少的工人生产更多的产品。”由此可推断，工人减少会导致失业率上升，所以这就是自动化所导致的结果。选项D正确。

2.事实细节题。根据第二段第二句“Inthemain,laborhastakentheviewthatresistancetotechnologicalchangeisfutile.”总的来说，劳动者们认为抵制技术变革是徒劳的。选项D符合原文。
