问题1选项

A.hasledtofierce

B.forgovernmentsubsidiesamongdozens

C.itisfarfromclear

D.actuallymakemoney

E.没有错误

【答案】D

【解析】时态错误。动词make改为现在完成时态havemade。句子谈论的是过去的事情,此处时态应与前面时态保持一致。

2.单选题

Thestudentswillputoffthematchuntilnextweek,（

）theywon’tbesobusy.

问题1选项

A.since

B.as

C.when

D.while

【答案】C

【解析】考查非限制性定语从句。此句的先行词为nextweek，在从句中作时间状语，因此引导词用when。句意：学生们将把比赛推迟到下周，那时他们不会那么忙。

3.单选题

Henoticedthehelicopterhoveringoverthefield.Thentohisastonishment,hesawaropeladder_________outandthreemenclimbingdownit.

问题1选项

A.throwing

B.beingthrown

C.havingthrown

D.havingbeenthrown

【答案】B

【解析】考查时态。句意：他意识到直升机盘旋在上空。在他意料之外的是，他看到绳梯扔出来然后三个男人拾级而下。绳子是被扔出所以要用被动语态，A、C选项排除；and连接的是两个并列的宾语，而and后面的男人用的现在分词，没有使用现在分词的完成式，所以and前面也应该保持一致，所以答案选B。

4.单选题

Thisisthenursewho（

）tomewhenIwasillinhospital.

问题1选项

A.accompanied

B.attended

C.entertained

D.shielded

【答案】B

【解析】考查固定搭配。accompany陪伴，伴随，通常和介词“by”搭配；attend出席，照顾，照料，通常和介词“to”搭配；entertain娱乐，招待，通常和介词“with”搭配；shield遮蔽，防御，通常和介词“from”搭配。

句意：这就是我生病住院时照顾我的护士。只有选项B能和介词“to”搭配，所以正确。

5.单选题

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:A

第3题:A

第4题:B

【解析】1.事实细节题。根据题干定位到原文第一段Eachconstituentisentitledtoequalinfluenceintheselectionofherrepresentative;electionresultsshouldtransparentlyrepresent,withoutdistortion,theviewsofthepeople;andelectedrepresentativesshouldperformtheirappropriateroles,withoutcorruption.（每一位选民有权在选举其代表方面具有同等的影响力；选举结果应透明、不扭曲人民的意见；选举产生的代表应该发挥适当的作用，不能有腐败）可知A选项“每个人都有平等的机会被代表”，B选项“选举结果应该公布”，C选项“人们的观点应该不加改变地提出”原文都有提及；D选项“当选的代表应该以‘清白的双手’履行他们的职责”原文未涉及。因此D选项符合题意。

2.推理判断题。定位到原文第二段Indiscursivedemocracy,asdistinctfromdirectdemocracy,publicopinionisalwaysevolving;itdoesnotmakedecisionswithrespecttowhichcitizenscanexerciseanequalinfluence.（在话语民主中，与直接民主不同，舆论总是在演变；它没有做出公民可以对其施加平等影响的决定）以及对比第一段Eachconstituentisentitledtoequalinfluenceintheselectionofherrepresentative;electionresultsshouldtransparentlyrepresent,withoutdistortion,theviewsofthepeople;andelectedrepresentativesshouldperformtheirappropriateroles,withoutcorruption.（每一位选民有权在选举其代表方面具有同等的影响力；选举结果应透明、不扭曲人民的意见；选举产生的代表应该发挥适当的作用，不能有腐败）可知公民可以对其施加平等影响意味着公民能够直接投票，以及这两者之间的区别在于是否直接投票，选A选项“人们不直接投票”；根据第二段Indiscursivedemocracy,publicopinionisneverrepresented,sothatthereisnobaselinefromwhichdistortionscanbemeasured.（在话语民主中，公众舆论从来没有代表性，因此没有衡量扭曲的基准）可知先是公众舆论从来没有代表性，导致没有衡量扭曲的基准，公众舆论从来没有代表性是主要原因，C选项“没有基准来衡量民意是否被扭曲”逻辑关系错误；根据原文Andthestate’sinterestinpreservingtherolemoralityofrepresentativesfromcorruptioncanatmostcountasaconstitutionalinteresttobeweighedagainstFirstAmendmentinterestsinpreservingtheintegrityofself-governmentthroughdiscursivedemocracy.（而国家保护代表角色道德不受腐败侵害的利益最多可以算作宪法利益，与第一修正案通过话语民主保护自治完整性的利益相权衡）可知B选项“代表是否腐败并不重要”，C选项“第一修正案的利益更重要”和原文相悖。因此A选项正确。

3.事实细节题。根据题干定位到原文最后一段Ifelectionsdonotselectforrepresentativeswhoareattentivetopublicopinion,however,thelinkbetweenFirstAmendmentrightsandthevalueofself-governmentwilldisappear.（然而，如果选举不选出关注公众意见的代表，那么第一修正案的权利和自治价值之间的联系就会消失）可知选A选项“当选举不选择关注公众意见的代表时”；根据最后一段TheFirstAmendmentassumesthatpersonsshouldbefreetoinfluencethecontentofpublicopinionandthatthegovernmentwillberesponsivetopublicopinion.Weassumethatelectionswillensurethatgovernmentisresponsivetopublicopinion.（《第一修正案》假定，个人应自由影响公众舆论的内容，政府将对公众舆论做出反应。我们认为，选举将确保政府对公众舆论做出反应。）可知B选项“政府对公众舆论做出反应”和D选项“当人们可以自由地影响公众舆论的内容时”能确保《第一修正案》权利和自治价值之间的联系；定位到最后一段开头CitizensUnitedconcludesthatneitherequality,nordistortion,noreliminatingcorruption,cancountasconstitutionallycompellinginterestscapableofjustifyinglegislationprohibitingcorporationsfrommakingindependentcampaignexpendituresdirectlyfromtheircorporatetreasuries.（“联合公民”得出的结论是，无论是平等、扭曲还是消除腐败，都不能被视为具有宪法强制性的利益，足以证明立法禁止公司从其公司财务中直接进行独立竞选支出是正当的）可知C选项“立法禁止公司直接从他们的公司财务中进行独立的竞选支出”不符合题意。因此A选项正确。

4.事实细节题。根据题干定位到原文最后一段Butinleapingtothisconclusion,CitizensUnitedfailstoengageinasufficientlydeepanalysisofrelevantFirstAmendmentrights.（但是，“联合公民”在得出这一结论时，未能对《第一修正案》的相关权利进行足够深入的分析）可知选B选项“它没有分析相关的第一修正案权利”，同时可知D选项“它没有分析立法目的就妄下结论”过度推断，干扰项；根据最后一段最后一句CitizensUnitedfailedtoaskwhetherthecampaignfinancelegislationitwasconsideringservedthepurposeofmaintainingelectoralintegrity.（“联合公民”没有询问它正在考虑的竞选资金立法是否有助于维持选举的完整性）可知C选项“它没有问竞选财务法案是否正确”错误，是否正确和是否有助于维持选举的完整性是有区别的；CitizensUnitedconcludesthatneitherequality,nordistortion,noreliminatingcorruption,cancountasconstitutionallycompellinginterestscapableofjustifyinglegislationprohibitingcorporationsfrommakingindependentcampaignexpendituresdirectlyfromtheircorporatetreasuries.（“联合公民”得出的结论是，无论是平等、扭曲还是消除腐败，都不能被视为具有宪法强制性的利益，足以证明立法禁止公司从其公司财务中直接进行独立竞选支出是正当的）可知A选项“它的结论是，这三种利益中没有一种能证明禁止公司进行独立竞选支出的立法是正当的”和原文相悖。因此B选项正确。

11.单选题

Imust（）youonyourhandlingofaverydifficultsituation.

问题1选项

A.meditate

B.complement

C.elaborate

D.compliment

【答案】D

【解析】本题考查动词辨析题。meditate“考虑，计划”；complement“补足；补充”；elaborate“详尽阐述”；compliment“称赞”，根据“在非常困难情况下做出的处理”这是一件值得表扬与称赞的事，此处使用compliment符合语义逻辑，故正确答案为选项D。句意为：我不得不为你在非常困难情况下做出的处理而称赞你。

12.单选题

Onemoretry,（

）youwillsucceed.

问题1选项

A.or

B.but

C.so

D.and

【答案】D

【解析】考查逻辑连词。or表示选择关系，but表转折关系，so常用来连接表示因果关系的句子，and表示并列关系。此句中前后句为并列顺延的关系。句意：再试一次，你就会成功。故D项正确。

13.单选题

Internationalsportshouldcreategoodwillbetweenthenations,butinthepresentorganizationoftheOlympicssomehowencourages（）patriotism.

问题1选项

A.obsolete

B.aggressive

C.harmonious

D.amiable

【答案】B

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A选项“废弃的，老式的”；B选项“侵略性的，好斗的”；C选项“和谐的，和睦的”；D选项“和蔼可亲的，亲切的”，句意：国际体育应该创造国家之间的友好关系，但在目前的奥林匹克组织中以某种方式鼓励______爱国主义。由but可以得知和前文应该是有转折的，因此空格处想表达的应该是“鼓励带有挑衅性的爱国精神”。因此B选项符合题意。

D.MostAmericansarenotimpressionable

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:A

第3题:C

第4题:B

第5题:A

【解析】1.主旨大意题。本文首段提到西方人们对彗星的恐惧，接下来主要讲了天文学家Hale对彗星的研究以及受到人们的指控。所以选项C更符合本文主题。

2.观点态度题。根据最后一段的第二句“Butheisimpatientwithhismodemcounterparts,whoshouldknowbetter.”但他对当代的天文学家们没有耐心，他认为他们应该知道得更多。由此推断，Hale

的是轻蔑的。选项A正确。unconcerned不关心的；liberal慷慨的；positive积极的。

3.细节事实题。文中只提到Hale发现了波普彗星，但没有说发现了许多其他的彗星，所以选项C表述错误。

4.词义题。根据原文：自从他宣布了自己的发现，他就被各种调查、声明和指控淹没了。选项B符合原文。relished品味；charged被指控；deprived被剥夺。

5.细节事实题。根据第四段的倒数第二句“Shramek’sbreathlessclaimelevated...ontheInternet.”Shramek令人窒息的声明将Comet-Bopp的幻想从超市小报提升到了主流媒体，并在互联网上的留言板和天文学主页上发布了数千条帖子。选项A符合原文。

15.单选题

ItwouldappearthatKennedypursuedapolicyattimesmorerigidthanthatofEisenhower,thathefearedChinamoreintenselyandthatheplacatedChiangKai-shekmoreassiduously.

问题1选项

A.provascularly

B.arbitratively

C.formidably

D.sedulously

【答案】D

【解析】考查近义副词辨析。A选项provascularly和B选项arbitratively形式的副词不存在；C选项formidably“强大地；难对付地；可怕地”；D选项sedulously“孜孜不倦地；勤勉地”。句意：肯尼迪奉行的政策有时似乎比艾森豪威尔的更为严格，他更害怕中国，更积极地安抚蒋介石。assiduously“刻苦地；勤勉地”，D选项与该词词意最相近，因此D选项正确。

16.单选题

I’venotevenreadthefirstchapter____finishedthewholenovel.

问题1选项

A.ratherthan

B.muchmore

C.aswellas

D.muchless

【答案】D

【解析】【选项释义】

A.ratherthan而不是B.muchmore更加；多得多

C.aswellas也；和……一样D.muchless更不用说；不及

【答案】D

【考查点】词组辨析。

【解题思路】句意：我甚至还没读完第一章……看完整本小说。根据逻辑，小说第一章都没有看完，可推断更不用说看完整本小说了。因此选D。

【干扰项排除】A、B、C选项均无法与空格前后构成相应逻辑关系。

【句意】我连第一章都没看完，更别说读完整部小说了。
