）tothoseabove21insomeregions.

问题1选项

A.confined

B.inhibited

C.obliged

D.restricted

【答案】D

【解析】动词词义辨析。四个选项都有“限制”的意思，其中A选项confine暗示束缚性、限制性的或阻挠性的限制；B选项inhibit强调禁止、抑制；C选项oblige除了“限制”外，还有“迫使”的含义，D选项restrict指限制行为、活动、事物的范围；句意是‘在有些地区，酒精饮料只能出售给21岁以上的成年人。’所以D选项正确。

【解析】考查副词辨析题。inquisitively“好问地，过分好奇地”；inconceivably“不可思议地”；appallingly“使人惊骇地”；impartially“公正地”。句意：公平地展现每个问题的两面并向读者指出什么样的方式能够保证绝大部分人的利益，这样就肯定能引导公众舆论。选项D符合题意。

【答案】爱分为三种：无私的，相互的，平凡或自私的。无私的爱境界最高。在这种爱里，爱人只希望被爱的人幸福并且不在意自己是否会经受痛苦和磨难。第二种是相互的爱，在这种爱里，爱人不仅渴望自己被爱的人获得幸福，并且希望自己也能快乐。自私的爱是最低级的一种爱。这种爱让人只关注自己的幸福，而不会关心被爱人的感受。

4.单选题

）thewholeplaceincaseit’sbeenbugged.

B.checkout

C.takedown

D.pulldown

5.单选题

问题1选项

B.on

C.over

D.out

【答案】D

【解析】词组辨析。hangabout徘徊，闲荡；hangon坚持下去，不挂断；hangover挂在...之上；hangout闲逛，鬼混。hangout侧重于跟朋友出去玩；hangabout一般指无所事事，游手好闲。句意：暑假期间，经常看到孩子们在街上闲逛。选项D更符合语境。

6.单选题

）withthelawwillbepunished.

问题1选项

A.conceal

B.consent

C.abide

D.comply

【答案】D

【解析】动词辨析题。A选项conceal“隐藏，隐瞒”；B选项consent“同意，准许”；C选项abide“忍受”；D选项comply“遵守”。

句意：不言而喻，拒绝遵守法律的人将受到惩罚。complywith意为“遵守”，所以选项D正确。

【答案】现在要是说到说谎，你必须要非常小心地说谎；否则你几乎肯定会被抓。在善良和纯洁的人眼里，一旦你被抓住，你就再也不可能是你以前的样子了。许多年轻人就因为一个笨拙的、没有完成的谎言而永久地伤害了自己，这是缺乏训练而导致的粗心的结果。一些权威人士认为，年轻人根本不应该撒谎。当然，这是一种过于强烈的表达；尽管我不能做到那样，我还是会坚持，我相信我是对的，年轻人在运用这门伟大的艺术时应该有节制，直到实践和经验会给他们带来自信、优雅和精确，而只有这些才能使你优雅而有益地完成这门艺术。实践、勤奋、对细节的细心——这些都是要求；这些假以时日，会使学生臻于完美；在这些基础上，也只有在这些基础上，他才能作为未来显赫的可靠基础。想想看，这位举世无双的老大师，经过多年枯燥乏味的学习、思考、实践和经验，才得以把“真理是强大的，并且将会获胜”这句崇高而响亮的格言传遍全世界——这是迄今为止任何一位女性所取得的最宏伟的复合断裂事实。因为我们人类的历史和每个人的经历都布满了证据，证明真理不难消灭，而讲得好的谎言则是不朽的。波士顿有一座纪念麻醉术发明者的纪念碑。

8.单选题

Althoughsports____thehousehold,Joedrewthelinewhentheyinterferedwithfamilytraditionsandroutine.

问题1选项

A.overwhelmed

B.affected

C.dominated

D.influenced

【答案】C

【解析】【选项释义】

A.overwhelmed压倒B.affected影响

C.dominated占据支配地位D.influenced影响

【答案】C

【考查点】语义衔接与动词辨析

【解题思路】空格处所填词的主语为“体育运动”，宾语为“家庭；家人”根据前后语义，应该是想表达在Joe的家庭中，体育运动很重要，但是也会有个限度，不让它们干扰家庭的传统和日常的事务，因此，C选项dominated“占据支配地位”符合上下文语义衔接。

【干扰项排除】

A选项overwhelmed“压倒”，侧重于指完全战胜，不符合原文语义衔接；

B选项affected侧重于指有形力量的影响，有时这种影响是不受欢迎的，不符合原文语义衔接；

D选项influenced侧重于指无形力量的影响，不符合原文语义衔接。

【句意】尽管体育运动在家庭中占统治地位，但是当它们干扰了家庭的传统和日常事务时，Joe也有个限度。

9.单选题

Whenhewasinjuniorhighatfourteen,hisintelligencewassuchthathe（）amongundergraduatesthanamongschoolboys.

问题1选项

A.wouldfitbetterin

B.wouldhavefittedinbetter

C.fittedbetterin

D.wouldhavefittedbetter

【答案】B

【解析】考查语法知识。根据句意：当他14岁上初中时，他的智力如此之高……。后文的比较说明“amongundergraduates”是说话人的主观看法，而不是真实情况，因此句子为虚拟语气。表示与过去事实相反时用“wouldhave”。befitin表示“适合”。因此B选项符合题意。

10.单选题

Wecarriedout（）checksonthevehiclesbeforetheyleavethedepot.

问题1选项

A.spot

B.pot

C.rain

D.coat

【答案】A

【解析】考查固定短语搭配。A选项spot“地点，斑点，认出，弄脏”；B选项pot“壶，盆，罐”；C选项rain“雨，下雨，雨天，雨季”；D选项coat“外套，覆盖……的表面”。spotcheck意为抽查。其他关于spot的固定搭配还有onthespot“立刻，当场，在危险中，处于负责地位”；aspotof“少量的，一点儿”等，因此A选项正确。

D.AGratefulStudentReturnstheFavor

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:B

第3题:D

第4题:C

第5题:B

【解析】1.细节事实题。原文第一段提及，作者曾经是一名广告商，而题干问的是现在的职业，所以选项B错误；“SofterSideofSears”是一场活动不是书名，选项C错误；选项D同样也是他过去的职位，所以不正确。原文第三段提及，他的新书《成功之源》即将出版，由此可知，他是一名作者，所以选项A正确。

2.细节事实题。根据第三段最后一句“ThebookaimstoexplainwhatMr.GeorgescuviewsasthetwomajorchallengesfacingAmerica:economiccompetitionfromtheemergingeconomiesofChinaandIndiaandaneedtofostermorecreativitywithinAmericancompanies.这本书的目的是解释Georgescu所认为的美国面临的两大挑战：来自中国和印度等新兴经济体的经济竞争，以及培养美国公司更多创造力的需要。”简而言之，也就是竞争和创造力。所以选项B正确。

3.词义推断题。根据原文第四段的内容，Mr.Georgescu认为美国要想与那些以较低价格生产高质量产品的国家竞争，唯一的办法就是想出与消费者建立特殊关系的点子。大家都有建筑和技术；这些都是商品。未来唯一可以利用的资产将是创造力。由此可知，选项D正确。

4.词义推断题。上文提及“‘更好机会’的慈善机构帮助一些贫困社区里聪明的孩子上优秀的高中，包括新罕布什尔的菲利普斯埃克塞特学院等私立预科学校。”由此可知，“Exeter”指的是高中学校，所以选项A正确。

5.主旨大意题。结合全文内容可知，本文主要是围绕着Mr.Georgescu的新书《成功之源》展开，所以选项B作为标题更恰当。

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:D

第3题:B

第4题:D

第5题:A

【解析】1.事实细节题。根据第二段第二句IntheBritishIslesthetemperatureclimbedthroughtheeighties,intothenineties,andmovedtowardsthehundredmark.（在不列颠群岛，温度从80度上升到90度，并接近100度。），可知不列颠群岛的温度快接近100度，故C选项“接近100”正确。A选项“保持在80度”，B选项“从80上升到90度”和D选项“超过100度”错误。因此C选项正确。

2.事实细节题。根据第二段第一句ThedeathnumberintheU.S.remainedquitesmall,thankslargelytotheair-conditioningunitsthathadbeenfittedduringpreviousyearsandmonths.（美国的死亡人数仍然很少，这在很大程度上要归功于前几年和前几个月安装的空调设备。），可知，在美国很少人因为高温而丧生得益于空调，故D选项“人们装有最舒适的空调”正确。A选项“温度还可以忍受”和B选项“人们在室内待了几个星期”：根据第三段第二句Temperaturesrosetothelimitofhumanendurancethroughoutthewholecountryandpeoplewereobligedtoremainindoorsforweeksonend.（全国各地气温上升到人类承受能力的极限，人们被迫连续数周待在室内。），可知这气温已超出承受范围，故A选项错误，并且因为气温太高人们不得不待在室内，这是高温带来的影响而非只有少数人死亡的原因，故B选项错误。C选项“政府已经采取了有效的措施来降低高温”：文章没有提到政府做了什么，故错误。因此D选项正确。

3.实细节题。根据第五段第一句Eventuallythetemperatureofthesurfacewatersofthesearose…toproduceadangerousincreaseofhumidity.（最终，海水表层的温度上升了……致命的湿度增加。）和第三句grewdamperandhotterfromdaytoday（天气一天比一天潮湿和炎热），可知是海水温度和湿度增加影响的开罗和好望角地区，故B选项“随着海洋表层海水湿度的增加，温度变得更潮湿、更热”正确，A选项“温度变得非常热”中仅仅因为温度变化不至于造成这样的结果。C选项“他们的条件太危险了”：这是对这情况的描述而非原因，故错误。D选项“他们对高温无计可施”：根据第四段第二句ThesurvivalofManhimselfwasonlypossiblebecauseofthecavesandcellarshewasabletodig.（人类之所以能活下来，完全是因为挖到了洞穴和地窖。），可知人类运用了一些对策面对高温，故错误。因此B选项正确。

4.语义推测题。根据第六段BythefourthweekofJuly…Thetemperaturedeclinedalittle…Butconditionscouldnotbesaidtohaveimproved…asitwasunfavorabletoManandmanyotheranimals.（到了七月的第四个星期……温度降低了一点……但不能说情况有所改善……就像对人类和许多其他动物不利一样），可知对人类来说，气温的威胁降低了，可是其他的危险同时出现，人类安全与否仍然未知，故D选项“生死仍未定”正确。A选项“人类将不可能存活”，B选项“越来越多的人将失去生命”和C选项“更少的人可以被拯救”与句意不符，故错误。因此D选项正确。

5.事实细节题。根据第六段最后一句Theinsectpopulationincreasedenormously,sincetheburninghotatmosphere（昆虫的数量急剧增加，因为灼热的大气对它们有利），可知昆虫因为灼热的大气而增加，故A选项“灼热的大气”正确。B选项“热带气候”C选项“云雨天气”和D选项“潮湿的空气”：文章没有说这些因素和昆虫数量增多的关系，故错误。因此A选项正确。

13.翻译题

Humorhasbeenwelldefinedas“thinkinginfunwhilefeelinginearnest”.TheEnglishdonotapproachlifeintellectually;theydonotdemandthatitshallconformtosomerigidmentalplan;theyarenotconvincedthattheuniversecanbepenetratedbythought;theyarewillingtogotowork,eitherinpoliticsorart,withoutatheorytosustainthem;andwhentheyaremorepracticalthanotherraces,itisnot-asthoseracesfrequentlyconclude—becausetheyarecoldlyclear-sightedandunimaginative,butbecausetheydonotbusythemselvesaskingreasontofindakeywheninstincthasalreadyshownthemthatthedooriswideopen.

【答案】幽默能被很好地定义为“一边诚挚地感受，一边有趣地思考”。英国人不肯理智地对待生活。他们不要求人生必须符合某种死板的计划，他们也不相信宇宙会被透彻地思考研究。他们愿意在没有理论支持的情况下从事政治或艺术工作。并且当他们比别的民族更实际的时候，事实并不是因为他们能只有头脑冷静、缺乏想象力像别的民族得出的结论那样，而是因为当本能已经告诉他们门是打开的时候，他们没有忙着让理性去找出钥匙。

14.单选题

Therewasatrafficjam,butshe______gettothedestinationintime.

问题1选项

A.could

B.might

C.oughtto

D.wasableto

【答案】D

【解析】【试题解析】考查词义辨析。A选项could“能够（原本就具有某种能力）”；B选项might“也许会”；C选项oughtto“应该（表示期望或可能发生的事或表示劝告或建议）”；D选项wasableto“能够（通过努力可以具备某种能力或实现某种状态，强调有努力的过程）”。句意：虽然发生了交通拥堵，但她______及时到达目的地。根据语境，这里指即使因为交通拥堵及时到达目的地存在困难，但是她依然办到了，D选项wasableto符合题意。因此D选项正确。

15.单选题

问题1选项

B.stakes...on

C.hazards...to

D.bets...to

【答案】B

【解析】challenge…on在……方面挑战；stake…on把赌注押在……上面；hazard...to对……有危险；bet不与to搭配。句意：GeorgeGallup，Jr.这个把自己的名誉押在知晓美国人想法上的人，将所有的投票策略集中到一起，以确定和分析他所说的未来力量。选项B符合句意。

【答案】我们与全球软件开发人员建立的重要伙伴关系不仅是促成视窗系统成功的关键,而且使个人电脑技术提供的可能性成为现实。应用技术贯穿各个领域,一些公司会把个人电脑用作信息时代的工具。

微软公司的另一个重要设想是:为电脑编写应用程序的过程必须简单化。因此,我们应该让这些程序在由无数台电脑组成的互联网中运行,这是利用以往的成就编程的一种新方法。

这就是我们年复一年要增加的东西。整个数字神经系统信息的目的就是要帮助开发人员抓住机遇,通过结合不同的体系结构,实现任务自动化并允许以一种渐进的方式完成这一工作。

第2题:B

第3题:D

第4题:C

第5题:C

【解析】1.细节事实题。题目问的是“调查表明在40年民众对美国政府的信心下降了多少？”根据文章第二段可知现在是1995年，说明40年前是1954年。文章第一段提到有67%的人认为大政府对国家未来的威胁最大。而1954年只有16%人认为大政府有威胁（A1954OpinionResearchCorp.Pollfoundthatonly16percentofAmericansindictedbiggovernment,giventhesamethreechoices），由此可知国民对政府的信心下降了51%。选项B符合题意。

2.细节事实题。题目问的是“在大萧条时期前美国政府在民众的心中是怎样的？”文章第二段最后一句提到“我们又回到了大萧条时期美国人对华盛顿本能的谨慎”（We'vereturnedtotheinstinctiveAmericanwarinessofWashingtonsocommonbeforetheGreatDepression），说明在大萧条时期政府在民众心中的地位就低，选项B符合题意。

3.推理判断题。文章第六段提到89%的人认为国会会把事情搞砸（Acrossgenerations,athumping89percentthoughtthelatter."Congressalwaysseemstobescrewingup,"saysoneyoungXer），选项D符合题意。
