2.单选题

）thelittlerainthatfelllastnight.

问题1选项

A.skipped

B.soaked

C.retrieved

D.absorbed

【答案】D

【解析】【试题解析】考查动词辨析。A选项skip“跳跃、遗漏”；B选项soak“浸湿”；C选项retrieve“检索、恢复”；D选项absorb“吸收、承受”，由题干可推测地面快速“吸收”雨水，句意为：这么多星期没有下雨，地面很快吸收了昨晚的少量雨水。故正确答案选D。

3.单选题

问题1选项

A.atrandom

B.athightide

C.indrymounds

D.ingreatquantities

【答案】D

【解析】考查词组辨析。inabundance表示“大量的”。A项atrandom“胡乱地，随便地”，B项athightide“处于高潮中”，C项indrymounds“在干土堆中”，D项ingreatquantities“大量”。句意：海滩上有大量的沙子，经常被吹到内陆形成沙丘和沙山。根据题意该题选D。

问题1选项

A.generatenewseeds

B.newseedsgenerated

C.generatesnewseeds

D.newseedsaregenerated

【答案】A

【解析】考查语法知识。本句的that用来引导定语从句修饰先行词seeds，定语从句中有三个并列的动作：fall，takeroot，generate；三个动作形式保持一致，因此A选项符合题意。

5.单选题

问题1选项

A.artificial

B.merry

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:C

第3题:A

第4题:C

第5题:D

【解析】1.细节事实题。文章第一段第二句提到他们真正的期望是获得足够的教育来为社会提供人力（Whattheyreallymeanistogetjustenougheducationtoprovidemanpowerforyoursociety），因此选项D符合题意。

2.判断推理题。文章第二段提到高中文凭是必要的，如果没有的话，除非你是萧伯纳或者爱迪生，如果你是他们，你小学辍学都行（unlessyournamehappenstobeGeorgeBernardShaworThomasAlvaEdison,andyoucansuccessfullydropoutingradeschool），因为他们就算没有文凭，也在各自领域中脱颖而出，因此选项C符合题意。

3.细节事实题。文章第五段倒数第一句话提到美国失业或未充分就业的博士人数比世界上其他国家要多（TherearemorePh.D.sunemployedorunderemployedinthiscountrythananyotherpartoftheworldbyfar），由此可知选项A符合题意。

4.判断推理题。根据文章第五段可知很多博士就业问题并不是很理想，由此可知选项C表述是错误的，符合题意。

5.判断推理题。无论是雇主、雇员还有博士生本人都是属于社会中的一员，一系列状况都是社会发展导致的，因此作者批判的是这个社会，因此选项D符合题意。

7.单选题

Youhavetopaya(n)premiumforexpressdelivery.

问题1选项

A.extratip

B.extrabonus

C.extracharge

D.extraprice

【答案】C

【解析】【选项释义】

A.extratip额外的小费B.extrabonus额外的奖励

C.extracharge额外费用D.extraprice额外价格

【考查点】名词辨析

【解题思路】原句的意思是如果要寄特快专递的话，就要收取额外的费用，原词premium“附加费”，C选项extracharge“额外的服务费”符合该语境。

【干扰项排除】

A选项extratip“额外的小费”，小费一般是给服务员的，如餐厅服务员或者理发师，为了感谢他们的服务；

B选项extrabonus“额外的奖励”，原句是要收费，而不是给奖励；

D选项extraprice“额外价格”，侧重于指溢价，比如快递费本来是8元，但是由于疫情，快递小哥少，寄快递涨价了（假设），要10元，中间涨的2元就属于extraprice“额外价格”。

【句意】寄特快专递的话，你得付额外费用。

8.单选题

（）oftheburdenofice,theballoonclimbedupanddriftedtotheSouth.

问题1选项

A.Tobefree

B.Tofree

C.Freeing

D.Freed

【答案】D

【解析】句意:摆脱了冰块的负担之后，气球向上朝南方飘去。

语法题。考查非谓语动词。句子的后半部分已经完整，因此空格处应填入动词的非谓语形式，前半部分作为整句的状语。句子的主语是“气球”，动词free与其之间是被动关系，故选D项。

9.单选题

Maryhasjustboughtherself______dress.

问题1选项

A.anexpensivebluecotton

B.acottonblueexpensive

C.ablueexpensivecotton

D.acottonexpensiveblue

【答案】A

【解析】【选项释义】

A.anexpensivebluecotton一条昂贵的蓝色的棉质的B.acottonblueexpensive一条棉质的蓝色的昂贵的

C.ablueexpensivecotton一条蓝色的昂贵的棉质的D.acottonexpensiveblue一条棉质的昂贵的蓝色的

【考查点】形容词排序。

【解题思路】英语中当名词前有多个形容词做定语时，这些形容词通常遵循一定的排序规则：限定词（冠词、指示代词、物主代词、数词等）+表示观点的描述性形容词+形状、大小、长短、高低+年龄、新旧+颜色+国籍、地区+物质材料+中心词；所以这里的空格应该填anexpensivebluecotton，A项正确。

【干扰项排除】B、C、D选项都不符合形容词排序规则。

【句意】玛丽刚给自己买了一件昂贵的蓝色棉质裙子。

10.单选题

Whenthecrowdsawthemoviestaronthestreet,shoutsandcheers（

）.

问题1选项

A.brokethrough

B.brokeup

C.brokeforth

D.brokeoff

【答案】C

【解析】考查词组辨析。breakthrough“突破”；breakup“分手，打碎”；breakforth“喷发，爆发”；breakoff“暂停”。句意：当人们在路上看到电影明星时，欢呼声爆发了。选项C符合题意。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:A

第3题:B

第4题:D

第5题:C

【解析】第1题:1.主旨大意题。结合全文内容可知，本文是一篇传记，主要讲述的是现代舞的先驱——IsadoraDuncan对舞蹈的巨大贡献。所以选项D正确。

2.判断推理题。题干问的是“对IsadoraDuncan来说，大自然代表了什么？”根据第二段的一、二句“她对自然运动形式的探索使她进入了自然。她认为运动应该像树木的摇摆和大海的波涛一样自然，应该与大地的运动协调一致。”也就是说，IsadoraDuncan把大自然当做舞蹈运动的模型，将舞蹈和自然相结合。所以选项A正确。

3.细节事实题。原文第三段主要讲述的是Duncan对舞蹈动作的改变；第四段主要讲述的是对舞蹈服装的改变；第五段主要讲述的是对音乐运用的改变。所以只有选项B“舞台”的改变在原文中没有提及。

4.判断推理题。根据原文第四段的内容“她摒弃了紫色内衣，芭蕾舞鞋和具有限制性的服装，取而代之的是飘逸的希腊宽松外衣、光着脚和披散着的头发。”由此可知，Duncan的服装是轻松自由的，相对于芭蕾服装来说，没有那么多的限制性，所以选项D正确。

5.判断推理题。根据最后一段的内容“她的个人生活就像她的舞蹈一样令人兴奋和古怪。”由此可推断，接下来可能要讲到的内容是Duncan生活的其他方面。选项C正确。

Weareallforyourproposalthatthediscussion（）.

问题1选项

A.beputoff

B.wasputoff

C.shouldputoff

D.istoputoff

【答案】A

【解析】句意:我们都赞成你关于推迟讨论的提议。

语法题。考查should的用法。名词proposal(提议，建议)引导的同位语从句应该用should(可省略)+动词原形。而且，discussion与putoff之间是被动关系，因此A项符合正确表达。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:C

第3题:C

第4题:D

第5题:B

【解析】1.判断推理题。文章第一段作者在描写奥尔岛及周围环境时，用了大量关乎情感色彩的形容词和动词加以述说，充分调动读者的想象，引起感官上的共鸣。A选项“情感上有吸引力，富有想象力”；B选项“理性的，逻辑上精确的”；C选项“事实详细的，客观的”；D选项“模糊不清的”。因此A选项正确。

2.细节事实题。根据题干可定位到文章第三段“Thebestroomwasshutupanddarkened,withonlysomuchlightascouldfallthroughalittleheart-shapedholeinthewidow-shutter,forexceptonsolemnvisits,orprayer-meetings,orweddings,orfunerals,thatroomformednopartofthedailyfamilyscenery.（最好的一间屋子关得严严的，昏暗的，只有从百叶窗上一个心形的小洞透进来的光线，因为除了在庄严的拜访、祈祷会、婚礼或葬礼上，这间屋子是不构成家庭日常生活的一部分的。）”，由此可知A选项“它的许多窗户都用木板封住了”；B选项“已经把家具搬走了”以及D选项“是家里最忙的房间”都不正确，C选项“只在正式和隆重的场合使用”符合题意。因此C选项正确。

3.判断推理题。根据题干可定位到文章第四段“Atablescouredtosnowywhiteness,andalittlework-standwhereonlaytheBible,theMissionaryHerald,andtheWeeklyChristianMirror,beforenamed,formedtheprincipalfurniture.（一张擦得雪白的桌子，一个小针线架，上面放着事先提到的《圣经》《传教士传令报》和《基督教镜报》，构成了这里的主要陈设。）”，由此可推断出房子的主人可能是位宗教信徒。A选项“很少有客人”；B选项“喜欢现代宗教”；D选项“不喜欢做家务”说法都不够确切，C选项“可能是宗教信徒”符合题意，因此C选项正确。

4.判断推理题。联系全文，随处可见笔墨众多的环境静态描写，而描写房子时并未提到有人物活动的动态描写。因此可推断出该房子是死者的。A选项“很少有人参加葬礼”；B选项“捕鱼是一份有保障的职业”；C选项“这个岛人口密集”都不准确，只有D选项“该房子属于死者”符合题意，因此D选项正确。

5.细节事实题。根据题干可定位到文章最后一段“Onefeature,however,mustnotbeforgotten,agreatsea-chest,whichhadbeenthecompanionofZephaniahthroughallthecountriesoftheearth.（然而，有一件事不能忘记，那就是一个航海用的大箱子，这是西番雅周游世界的伙伴。）”，由此可推断出Zephaniah可能是个水手，且游历全球时只有一个从海底捞起来的箱子做伴，略显孤独。A选项“他身材魁梧”；C选项“总是待在家里”；D选项“他很节俭，省了很多钱”说法都不准确，B选项“宁愿过水手的孤独生活”准确，因此B选项正确。

第4题:A

【解析】1.细节事实题。题目问的是“在作者的国家，哪类人受益于经济的发展？”文章第四段最后一句话提到“所有人都在新经济中发展”(AlltypesofpeopleareflourishingintheNewEconomy)，因此选项D符合题意。

3.细节事实题。题目问的是“作者认为收入差距将……”。文章第三段第一句话提到“收入差距是驱动经济引擎的汽油”（Incomedisparityisthegasthatrunsoureconomicengine），因此它不可能消失，所以选项C“一直存在”符合题意。
