【答案】第1题:E
第2题:B
第3题:F
第4题:A
第5题:C
【解析】(1)第一段引出了人们对于未来的担心,认为老龄化将会带来各种问题。第三段是对老龄化社会的肯定,认为这是文明发展的结果。E选项刚好承上启下。
(2)选项说牛津大学老龄化研究中心成立各个问题研究组。正好下段提到对myth的揭示。
(3)空前提到了healthservices,故选F。
(4)前面指出研究中心人员提出应该给年长的人提供各种培训机会。因此此处选A项(研究表明不同年龄阶段的劳动力的融合也有许多好处)合适。
(5)上一段中提出家庭关系会因为老龄化问题而使亲人之间疏远的担心,C中研究中心的伦理学家对这一问题进行了佐证,年长者对家庭需要贡献的角色越来越重要,所以这些担心都是没有必要的。
2.单选题
Generally,itisonlywhenanimalsaretrappedthatthey(
)toviolenceinordertoescape.
问题1选项
A.proceed
B.appeal
C.resort
D.incline
【答案】C
【解析】考查动词词义辨析。proceed“开始”;appeal“呼吁,请求”;resort“诉诸”;incline“倾向”。句意:通常,动物只有在他们受困想要逃跑的情况下才会采取攻击行为。选项C符合题意。
3.单选题
Youshould(
)tooneormoreweeklymagazinessuchasTimeorPeople.
问题1选项
A.subscribe
B.order
C.prescribe
D.reclaim
【答案】A
【解析】考查动词辨析。subscribe订阅,后接介词to;order定购,预定;prescribe开处方;reclaim改造,感化,回收利用;由weeklymagazines可知答案为A。句意:你应该订阅一本或更多的周刊杂志,比如《时代》或《人物》。答案A
4.单选题
Thereisno()forhardworkandperseveranceofyouwanttosucceed.
问题1选项
A.alteration
B.equivalent
C.alternative
D.substitute
【答案】C
【解析】本题考查了名词的辨析。alteration“改变;变化”;equivalent“相等的”;alternative“可供选择的事物”;substitute“代替”,根据“勤奋和坚持”与“成功”之间的关系,我们可以知道一般来说“勤奋和坚持”是“成功”的必要条件,所以想要成功,除了“勤奋和坚持”之外就没有别的选择符合逻辑,故正确答案为选项C。句意为:你想成功的话,除了勤奋和坚持之外你没有别的选择。
5.单选题
Thevastmajorityofpeopleinanygivenculturewill()totheestablishedstandardsofthatculture.
问题1选项
A.confine
B.conform
C.confront
D.confirm
【答案】B
【解析】考查动词辨析。A选项confine“限制;禁闭”;B选项conform“符合;遵照;适应环境”;C选项confront“面对;遭遇;比较”;D选项confirm“确认;确定;证实”。句意:在任何特定文化中的绝大多数人都将遵守该文化既定的标准。空格处的动词既要符合句意,又要与to构成搭配。因此B项正确。Conformto表示“符合,遵照”。
6.填空题
Tomatoes,whentheywerefirstintroduced,wereconsideredeithermagicalorharmful,dependingonwhichschoolofthoughtyoulistened.Evenwithinlivingmemory,therewasatimewhenvegetableswereconsideredharmfulunless
A
B
C
D
cookedforlong.
【答案】Blistened改为listenedto
【解析】【考查点】固定搭配。
【解题思路】listenedto意思为“听从”,为固定搭配,这里指的是认为西红柿是怎样的,就看听从对西红柿的哪一种描述。
【句意】西红柿刚被引进时,人们认为它很神奇或者有害,这取决于你听的是哪个学派的观点。即使在现在,人们也有一段时间认为蔬菜没有经过长时间的烹饪就是有害的。
