）withproblemstobeabletostudyproperly.

问题1选项

A.burdened

C.grieved

D.disturbed

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容词词义辨析。burdened“背负的”；tired“疲倦的”；grieved“悲伤的”；disturbed“打搅的”。句意：她觉得自己背负着太多问题而不能正确学习。选项A符合题意。too···to···“太······而不能······”。选项A符合题意。

2.单选题

TheGermancompanyretaineda（）positioninhormoneresearch.

问题1选项

A.chair

B.pole

C.soap

D.floor

【答案】B

【解析】考查固定短语搭配。A选项chair“椅子；讲座；主席位；大学教授的职位”；B选项pole“杆；极点；电极”；C选项soap“肥皂；将肥皂涂在……上；对……拍马屁”；D选项floor“地板，地面；楼层；基底；议员席”。poleposition指的是方程式赛车中的“竿位”，即决赛中排在第一位出发的选手。“竿位”由决赛前排位赛中成绩最好的车手获得。此外，poleposition还可表示“跑道内圈；有利位置”。句意：这家德国公司在激素研究方面保持着有利地位。因此B选项正确。

3.单选题

问题1选项

B.makeupto

D.lookupto

【答案】C

【解析】考查词组辨析。A项faceupto“勇敢地面对”，B项makeupto“接近，奉承”，C项standupto“经得起，抵抗”，D项lookupto“尊敬，崇拜”。根据关键词falsebanknotes“假钞”和closeexamination“仔细检查”可知，C项符合语境。句意：虽然这些假钞骗过了很多人，但它们并没有经得起仔细的检验。因此，该题选择C项正确。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:D

第3题:D

第4题:B

第5题:A

【解析】第1题:细节事实题。题干意思是“要变得‘21世纪’，作者决定……”。文章第三段第一句提到Butifmyclothingistoocharacteristictochange,perhapsIshoulddosomethingaboutmylifestyle.（但如果我的服装太有特色而无法改变，也许我应该改变一下我的生活方式），由此可知B项“改变生活方式”符合题意。A项“搬进一个新房子”，文章最后一段提到There’sonlyoneproblem:Thecostyouarelookingat£18.000to£25,000foranaveragehome.（只有一个问题：一套普通住宅的成本大概在1.8万至2.5万英镑之间），由此可知作者搬进一个新房子的可能性不是很大；C项“改善着装风格”，文章作者提到服装太有特色而无法改变，所以C项错误；D项“以最时髦的方式交谈”文章没有提及。故该题选B正确。

第2题:细节推断题。题干意思是“作者对真空吸尘器的评论暗示着……”。根据题干定位到第三段第五句Orvacuumcleanersthatsuckduststraightintoadustbin,viaasystemofpipesinyourhousewalls?(Allyouhavetodoisrebuildyourentirehome.)（真空吸尘器是通过墙壁上的管道系统将灰尘直接吸进垃圾箱吗？你所要做的就是重建你的整个家），由此可知，要安装这个吸尘器还要把房子重新建造一遍，作者认为这个耗时又耗力，所以D项“觉得不值得这么做”符合题意。A项“相信真空吸尘器没有用处”，文章作者没有说这个吸尘器没有用处；B项“想要自己买一个”，内容与原文相反；C项“讨厌制造麻烦”为干扰项，根据原文中的内容，作者不是觉得吸尘器麻烦，而是觉得为了一个吸尘器来重建房子不值得。故该题选D正确。

第3题:细节事实题。题干意思是“作者认为最具革命性的智能家居技术是什么？”。第四段最后两句提到Buttherealrevolutionhashappenedinthebathroom.Neveragainneedyoufeelcutofffromworldeventsasyougoaboutyourwashing.ForgetthemirrorsthatturnintoTVscreens…Thebuzzinbathroomsnowisallaboutheatedtowel-racksthatturnintoTVs.（但真正的革命发生在浴室；当你洗衣服的时候，你再也不需要感觉与世界事件隔绝了；忘掉那些变成电视屏幕的镜子吧；现在浴室里的话题都是加热毛巾架变成电视），由此可知D项“可以变成电视的加热毛巾架”正确；C项“可以变成电视屏幕的镜子”错误；A项“等离子电视壁炉”，根据At65,280,itwouldbeapitytohaveitbroken.（65,280英镑，如果它坏了就太可惜了）可知，作者觉得等离子电视壁炉太贵，A项不选；B项“花园自动洒水器”，第三段最后一句提到Ofcourse,youcouldjustlookoutofthewindow,observethatit’srainingandturnthemoffyourself,butthatwouldbeso20thcentury.（当然，你可以看着窗外，看到正在下雨，然后自己把洒水器关掉，但那是20世纪的事了），由此可知，B项也不正确。故该题选D正确。

第4题:推理判断题。题干意思是“智能家居展……”。第三段第二句提到SolastweekItookmyselftotheNECfortheSmartHomeShowwhichis“theexhibitiondedicatedtoallthelatesttrendsinsmarthometechnology”.Itwasashock.（所以上周我带自己去NEC参加智能家居展，这是一个“致力于智能家居技术最新趋势的展览”，太令人震惊了），接着第四段和第五段都是智能家居展览中的一些智能家居的应用，根据作者对例子的表述和作者的语气可知B项“让作者大开眼界”符合题意。A项“看起来太好以至于不真实”，作者只是提到了很贵，所以A项错误；C项“给作者留下了负面的印象”和D项“对中老年人吸引力较小”内容与原文相反。故该题选B正确。

第5题:观点态度题。题干意思是“作者对购买智能家居产品有什么看法？”。根据文章最后一段Enough!Iwasconvinced:Iwantasmarthome.There’sonlyoneproblem:Thecostyouarelookingat£18.000to£25,000foranaveragehome.（够了！我被说服了：我想要一个智能家居；但只有一个问题：一套普通住宅的成本大概在1.8万至2.5万英镑之间）可知，作者对智能家居很感兴趣，但是价格太昂贵了，所以A项“他很感兴趣，但觉得太贵了”正确。B项“他被迷住了，决定买下它们”和C项“他没有兴趣，也不会买”内容与原文不符；D项“他不能肯定，所以他宁愿等着瞧”，文章中作者没有提到要等着瞧，D项错误。故该题选A正确。

6.单选题

Theliberalartseducationasksthatweconfrontourunexaminedworldviewwithhistoricalunderstanding,newtheoriesandintercultural（）.

问题1选项

A.prospects

B.perspectives

C.aspects

D.respects

【答案】B

【解析】名词词义辨析。prospect“前景;期望”;perspective“观点，远景”;aspect“方面，形势”;respect“尊敬,尊重”。句意:文科教育要求我们用历史理解、新理论和跨文化视角来看待我们未经检验的世界观。

根据句意可知，填空处是表示看待未经检验的世界观的方式和角度，perspectives和aspects都有“角度”的意思。但perspective强调主体,指人观察或思考的角度;而aspect强调客体,指事物的某个方面。句中强调的是我们看待世界的跨文化角度，所以选项B更符合语境。

7.单选题

Toourgreatdelight,yesterdaywereceiveda（n）（）donationfromabenefactor.

问题1选项

A.handsome

B.awesome

C.miserly

D.prodigal

【答案】D

【解析】考查形容词词义辨析。handsome“英俊的，大方的”；awesome“令人敬畏的，可怕的；极好的”；miserly“吝啬的，贪婪的”；prodigal“挥霍的，十分慷慨的”。句意：令我们高兴的是，昨天我们收到了一位捐助者大量的捐助物。选项D符合题意。

8.单选题

（）nativetoNorthAmerica,cornhasnowspreadallovertheworld.

问题1选项

A.Inspiteof

B.Thatitis

C.Itwas

D.Although

【答案】D

【解析】考查让步状语从句。A选项Inspiteof“尽管”，后应接名词；B选项Thatitis“那是”；C选项Itwas“这是”；D选项Although“尽管”。句意：虽然玉米原产于北美，但现在已遍布世界各地。如果状语从句中的主语和主句中的主语一致，就可以省略状语从句中的主语和be动词，从而使句子更加简洁明了。在这句话中，从句中的主语也是corn，因此其主语corn和is可以省略。因此D选项正确。

9.单选题

ThisEuropeangeologistturnedouttobegoodcompanyandknewalotaboutthecountrywewerein,sowebenefitedtalkingwithhim.Hegaveusseveralveryusefultips.

问题1选项

A.This

B.turnedout

C.goodcompany

D.benefitedtalkingwithhim

E.没有错误

【答案】D

【解析】语法题。介词遗漏。在benefited后加上from。Benefit为不及物动词,常后面接from，表示“受益于…”。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:C

第3题:D

第4题:B

【解析】1.细节事实题。文章第一段的内容为：长期以来，科学家们一直在争论，伪善是由情感驱动还是由理性驱动。在其他道德判断中，大脑成像显示，情绪在道德判断中所起的作用所涉及的是情感而不是思维的区域，颠覆了启蒙运动的观念。这给我们带来了伪善，这在人身上几乎是可笑的。可知脑成像是道德判断的情感基础，因此选A。

2.推理判断题。文章第二段介绍了心理学家们做的实验：实验对象给自己和陌生人分配任务，并为自己和别人分配的公平性打分。得到的结果是：一方面，无私的现象完全没有出现，人们都为自己选择了轻松的任务而把难的任务分给别人。另一方便，伪善倒是大张旗鼓地出现了，人们对自己的自私行为比对别人的自私行为更为宽容。因此从第一个实验得出的结论是人们既要利益又要维护形象，选C。

3.推理判断题。由文章第三段中的Peoplehavelearnedthatitpaystoseemmoral,sinceitletsyouavoidcriticismandguilt.Butevenbetterisappearingmoralwithouthavingtopaythecostofactuallybeingmoral—suchasassigningyourselfthetoughjob（人们已经认识到，看起来道德是值得的，因为它可以让你避免批评和内疚。但更好的是，在不付出实际道德代价的情况下，表现得很有道德——比如给自己分配一份艰苦的工作）可知D选项“有理由认为伪善是有益的”符合题意。

4.推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中的Peoplejudgedtheirown(selfish)behaviorasharshlyastheydidothers'...andweintuitivelyandequallycondemnbadbehaviorbyourselvesaswellasothers（人们像对待别人一样严厉地判断自己（自私的）行为……我们直觉地和同样谴责自己和他人的不良行为）可知B选项“人的本性是道德的和公平的”符合题意。

【答案】污染是一个问题，因为在一个人口日益增长和工业化的世界里，人类正在破坏他所生活的环境。许多科学家坚持认为人类最大的错误之一就是把发展与进步等同起来。现在人们对成长型产业持怀疑态度，担心它们的副作用会破坏环境，破坏不同生命形式之间的关系。不断增长的人口对世界上固定的空气、水和土地的供应提出了越来越高的要求。随着人口的增长，越来越多的人要求更高的生活水平，他们需要处理越来越多的垃圾。这一问题已引起人们对生物及其环境的日益关注。许多人认为，人类没有足够快地解决这些问题，他对财产的自私追求使他在完全意识到损害之前就已经到了不可挽回的地步。

12.单选题

Theofficialclaimedthatthegovernmenthadonlychangedthelawinorderto（

）America.

问题1选项

A.applaud

B.apprehend

C.appeal

D.appease

【答案】D

【解析】【试题解析】考查动词辨析。A选项applaud“赞同，称赞”；B选项apprehend“理解”；C选项appeal“将……上诉”；D选项appease“安抚，对……做出让步”。由“thegovernmenthadonlychangedthelaw政府改变法律”，后面是inorderto表示目的的介词短语，可知空格部分意思为“安抚，平息”，句意为：有官员称政府改变法律仅仅是为了对美国做出让步。选项D与之意思接近。
