问题1选项

A.strong

B.dead

C.dying

D.lethal

【答案】D

【解析】考查形容词词义辨析。A选项strong“强壮的”；B选项dead“无生命的；呆板的；废弃了的”；C选项dying“垂死的；临终的；濒临消亡的；快要结束的”；D选项lethal“致命的”。句意：判处死刑，苏格拉底本可以逃脱但选择喝……毒药寻求真理。根据poison（毒药），A，B，C项都不能与poison（毒药）进行搭配，结合句意，选项D为正确答案。

3.单选题

问题1选项

A.rangingfrom

B.covering

C.consistingof

D.comprising

【答案】A

【解析】考查词义辨析。A选项“从……到……”；B选项“覆盖，包含”；C选项“包括，组成”；D选项“包括”。句意：这家医院现在不考虑（做）10种标准手术，（）接生到心脏搭桥手术。从句子关键词“to”，选项中和to搭配的只有rangefrom...to；所以答案选A。consistof和comprise后面列举的例子一般用and连接。

第4题:D

第5题:C

【解析】1.细节事实题。由文章中的Thedistinctionbetweensecondandforeignlanguagelearningcancauseconfusioninthefieldofsecondlanguageacquisition(SLA),whichisthesub-disciplineofappliedlinguisticsthataimstounderstandhowpeoplelearnasecondlanguageandthefactorsthataffecttheirlanguagelearning.（第二语言和外语学习之间的区别在于第二语言习得领域可能导致困惑，第二语言习得是应用语言学的一个分支学科，旨在了解人们如何学习第二语言以及影响他们语言学习的因素）可知选D。

2.细节事实题。由文章中的SLAresearchnotonlyexaminessecondlanguagelearning,butalsoanyforeign,thirdorfourthlanguagelearning.（第二语习得研究不仅研究第二语言学习，而且也研究任何外语、第三或第四语言学习）可知选B。

3.细节事实题。由文章中的Duetothecomplexityoflanguagelearning,weseethattheSLAliteratureoftentreatadditionallanguageandforeignlanguagelearninginthesamesecondlanguageacquisitionframework.（由于语言学习的复杂性，我们发现第二语习得著作通常把在同样的第二语言习得框架里讨论第二语言和外语学习）可知D选项“第二语言和外语学习一直没有在不同的的第二语言习得框架里讨论”符合题意。

4.细节事实题。由文章中的Ofcourse,weknowthatlearningathirdlanguageisnotnecessarilythesameaslearningasecondlanguage.（当然，我们知道学习第三语言并不一定等同于学习第二语言）可知D选项“学习第三语言不一定等于学习第二语言”符合题意。

5.主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了第二语言习得（SLA）研究的内容与目的，根据文章最后一句Amoresolidtheoreticalframeworkforthirdorfourthlanguageacquisitionwilleventuallyemergeasmoreresearchisconducted.（随着研究的深入，第三语言或第四语言习得的理论框架将逐渐形成）可知C选项“第二语言习得的未来”符合题意。

5.单选题

）,ifyougetthechanceandarewillingtotakethetrouble.

问题1选项

A.worthwatching

B.worthtobewatched

C.worthywatching

D.worthytobewatched

【答案】A

【解析】考查词组辨析。worth“值得的”；beworthdoing“值得做”；worthy“值得的，有价值的”。句意：如果有机会而且你也不怕费事，采煤的实际过程还是很值得一看的。根据句意及搭配可知A项正确，答案A

6.单选题

Thetradeunionsinthisindustryare（

）anyreductioninwages.

问题1选项

A.objectingagainst

B.opposedto

C.resistingagainst

D.reactedto

【答案】B

【解析】【试题解析】考查固定搭配。根据句中关键词“anyreductioninwages工资的任何减少”和四个选项的对应构成选择固定搭配“beopposedtosth反对某事”的B项正确。英语中一般不用“objectagainst”或“resistagainst”的搭配；英语中没有“bereactedtosth.”这种搭配，一般用“reactedtosth.对某事起反应”。句意为：这个行业的工会反对任何减薪。故正确答案选B。

7.单选题

Bytheearlyeighthcentury,theByzantineempirehadlostroughlytwo-thirdsoftheterritoryithadpossessedintheyear600,anditsremainingareawasbeingraidedbyArabsandBulgarians,whoattimesthreatenedtotakeConstantinopleand（

）theempirealtogether.

问题1选项

A.regain

B.diminish

C.extinguish

D.withstand

【答案】C

【解析】考查动词辨析。A选项regain“恢复；收回”；B选项diminish“减少；缩小”；C选项extinguish“熄灭；使破灭，消除”；D选项withstand“抵挡；反抗”。句意：到8世纪初，拜占庭帝国已经失去了公元600年所拥有的大约三分之二的领土，其剩余的领土遭到阿拉伯人和保加利亚人的袭击，他们有时威胁要占领君士坦丁堡，把整个帝国……。由句意可知，C选项符合题意。

8.单选题

Thespontaneousmovementofwateracrossamembrane,（

）gradientofwaterconcentrationiscalledosmosis.

问题1选项

A.drivesa

B.drivenbya

C.hasdriven

D.drove

【答案】B

【解析】语法（分词短语做后置定语）题。首先固定搭配‘agradientof’，所以排除C和D选项，其次，Thespontaneousmovement与空格后的gradientofwaterconcentration是被动关系，所以B选项的过去分词短语做主语的后置定语正确。整句话的句意是‘在水的浓度梯度驱使下，水分子通过半透膜的自主运动叫做渗透作用’。

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:C

第3题:D

第4题:C

第5题:B

【解析】1.主旨大意题。从19世纪的西进运动再到当今美国人的西进精神，本文主要讲了美国的拓荒精神，即美国人的勇气和进取心，以及能吃苦的精神。

2.推理判断题。由第三段Theearlypioneerhadtofaceandovercomemanydangersandhardships.早期的拓荒者不得不面对和克服许多危险和困难。以及第五段“HardlaborandtensecompetitionintheWestmadethefrontiersmenrough,sowastheirlanguage.西部艰苦的劳动和激烈的竞争使边疆人生活艰难，他们的语言也是如此。”以及最后一段“SomepeoplefeelthatthefrontierspiritnolongerexistsintheUSA.Butitexpressesitselfinanumberofways.Americansdonotlikebeingwithoutwork,andtheywilltravelhundredsofmilesinsearchofajob,showingacourageandanenterprisewhichisunusualinmostoftheolderEuropeancountries.有些人觉得美国的拓荒精神已经不存在了。但它以多种方式表现出来。美国人不喜欢没有工作，他们会跋涉数百英里寻找工作，显示出勇气和进取心，这在大多数较老的欧洲国家是不常见的。”可知拓荒精神体现为能克服危险和困难，有勇气和进取心。故C项正确。

3.细节事实题。由第三段“Theearlypioneerhadtofaceandovercomemanydangersandhardships.早期的拓荒者不得不面对和克服许多危险和困难。”“Horriblesnowstormsinwintermightdestroyhislivestock,andmanypioneersthemselveswerefrozentodeath.Insummerapioneermightstandbyhelplesslywhilehiscattlediedorcropswitheredforlackofwater.Atothertimes,floodsmightsweepawayallofhisworkButhisgreatestdangerintheearlyyearswasfromIndianraids.冬天可怕的暴风雪可能会毁掉他的牲畜，许多拓荒者自己也被冻死了。在夏天，一个拓荒者可能会无助地站在一边，看着他的牛死去或庄稼因缺水而枯萎。在其他时候，洪水可能会冲走他所有的工作，但他早年最大的危险来自印第安人的袭击。”以及第四段第一句“TheworstdangerstoapeacefulpioneerinthemiddlenineteenthcenturycameperhapsnotfromnaturalconditionsorfromIndians,butfrompioneers.在十九世纪中叶，对于一个爱好和平的拓荒者来说，最大的危险可能不是来自自然条件或印第安人，而是来自拓荒者。”可知早期拓荒者面临自然灾害的威胁以及印第安人的袭击。故D项正确。

4.细节事实题。由倒数第二段“OnthewaytowardtheWest,one’ssuccessorfailuredependedlargelyonhisstrengthandabilityinmanagement.在去西方的路上，一个人的成功或失败在很大程度上取决于他的实力和管理能力。可知C项“拓荒者的成败取决于他的力量与管理能力”正确。

5.推理判断题。由最后一段“Americansdonotlikebeingwithoutwork,andtheywilltravelhundredsofmilesinsearchofajob,showingacourageandanenterprisewhichisunusualinmostoftheolderEuropeancountries.美国人不喜欢没有工作，他们会跋涉数百英里寻找工作，显示出勇气和进取心，这在大多数较老的欧洲国家是不常见的。”可知当今美国人的拓荒精神体现为勇气和进取心。故B项正确。

10.单选题

___foryourhelp,Icouldnothaveaccomplishedthedissertation.

问题1选项

A.Haditbeennot

B.Hadnotitbeen

C.Hadnotbeenit

D.Haditnotbeen

【答案】D

【解析】考查虚拟语气。当主句：主语+should/would/could/might+havedone，从句：If主语+had+done，表示和过去事实相反的情况，其中if可以省略。虚拟语气if省略时，句中的动词were、had或should和主语倒装，构成部分倒装：只需要将谓语中的助动词或情态动词置于主语之前。因此D选项正确。

11.单选题

问题1选项

A.contributed

B.highlighted

C.procrastinated

D.precipitated

【答案】D

【解析】动词词义辨析。contribute“贡献”；highlight“突出，强调”；procrastinate“耽搁”；precipitate“使坏事等突然发生”。句意：星期天晚上的音乐会之后，史蒂夫和奥蒂斯与乐队指挥大吵了一架，最终使史蒂夫和奥蒂斯突然离开。选项D符合题意。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:C

第3题:D

第4题:C

第5题:A

【解析】1.细节事实题。根据文章第一段第二句，“”YoumightimaginethatCasparwasraisedtobeanadventurousthinker,butdeBono’snamewassofamous…”，根据转折连词but，可判断你可以想象卡斯帕是一个敢于大胆的思考者，但是事实相反。选项B可排除。根据文章第一句，“Lateralthinking,firstdescribedbyEdwarddcBonoin1967…”，可知横向思维在1967年由爱德华•波诺首次提出，所以不是卡斯帕首次提出的。根据文章第一段，“Casper’sparentsworriedthatanytimehewouldsaysomethingbrightatschool,histeachersmightsnap…”，可知卡斯珀的父母担心，每当他在学校说一些聪明的话时，他的老师可能会叱责他，可判断出卡斯珀被老师叱责是父母担心的事，并没有提到实际发生。根据排除法，选项A符合题意。

2.细节事实题。根据文章第二段，“‘Sothenwedidseveralthinkingsessions,’hisfathersays,‘usingmytechniquesand,whenhewentupfortheexam,hedidextremelywell.’”，可知然后他运用父亲的思考方式进行了练习，最后考试考得非常好。可判断出Casper成功考入牛津大学的原因是运用了父亲提供的方法和技巧。选项C符合题意。

3.判断推理题。根据文章第二段，“…hetransformsthethinkingskills….”，可知爱德华的书是用来传播他的思考技巧，是为了教孩子们如何思考，并未提及逻辑思维，选项A可排除。根据文章第一段第一句，“Lateralthinking,firstdescribedbyEdwarddcBonoin1967,isjustafewyearsolderthanEdward’sson.”，可知1967年，爱德华•波诺(EdwarddcBono)首次描述了“横向思维”，是在爱德华的儿子出生的前几年提出的。可判断出并不是在儿子出生后才描述了横向思维，选项B可排除。因为爱德华在儿子出生前几年就提出了横向思维，所以不是因为儿子的原因而去研究这种方法，选项C可排除。根据文章第二段最后一句，“…hetransformsthethinkingskillshedevelopedforbrain-stormingbusinessmenintoinformalexercisesforparentsandchildrentoshare.”，可知他将自己用来培养商人思维的技能转化为供父母和孩子们分享的非正式练习。可判断出爱德华在为父母和孩子写作之前，曾教商人如何思考。选项D符合题意。

4.细节事实题。根据文章第三段，“Oftenwethinkineffectivelybecausewetaketoolimitedaview.”，可知爱德华认为我们常常思考效率低下，因为我们的视野太有限。选项C为文章的原话，选项C符合题意。

5.细节事实题。根据文章第三段，“‘TeachYourChildHowtoThink’offerslessonsinperceptionimprovement,ofclearlyseeingtheimplicationsofsomethingyouaresayingandofexploringthealternatives.”，可知《教你的孩子如何思考》这本书提供认知改善的课程，清楚地了解你所说的话的含义，并探索其他选择。可判断出横向思维涉及的方面包括提升思维认知能力，了解说话的含义以及探索自己所说的话的其他可供选择的表达，不包括提升逻辑思考能力。选项A符合题意。

）.

问题1选项

【答案】A

【解析】动词辨析题。A选项wrecked“破坏，毁灭，船舶失事”；B选项collapsed“倒塌，崩溃”；C选项decayed“腐烂，衰退”；D选项fired“点火，激发”。句意：在她丈夫的船失事12个小时后，Lackey夫人被床边的电话铃声吵醒。选项A符合语境。

【解析】1.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】推理判断题。由题干可以定位到文章第一段最后一句Inveryfewthingscanwebesureoffuturesalability,andinasocietywherepeoplearefreetostudywhattheywant,andworkwheretheywant,andinvestastheywant,thereisnowaytokeepsupplyanddemandinlaborinperfectaccord.（在一个人们可以自由学习他们想要的东西、在他们想要的地方工作、在他们想要的地方投资的社会里，我们不可能使劳动力的供求完全一致）可知作者没有特地支持哪一种教育，而是支持他们自由地学习。C选项“自由的教育”，符合文章内容，C选项正确。A选项“教授一些实用的技能，这些技能可以在当前的就业市场上得到销售”，作者在文中写到，不确定哪些技能值得推销，可排除A选项。B选项“随时代变化的灵活课程”，文章没有提到此内容，可排除。D选项“保持劳动力市场供求平衡”，文章提到并不能做到劳动力供求一致，D选项可排除。因此C选项正确。

2.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】推理判断题。由题干可以定位到文中第一段Homeconstructionskillsareanotherexampleofvaryingsalability,asthejobmarketfluctuates（随着就业市场的波动，住房建造技能的变化是销售能力变化的另一个例子）。选项B“不规则的变化”，文章所说，就业市场的波动，可以理解为不规则的变化，选项B正确。选项A“保持稳定”，不符合文章的内容，可排除。选项C“依照成法”，不符合文章内容，可排除。D选项“日就衰败”，不符合文章内容，可排除。因此B选项正确。

3.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】推理判断题。根据题干可以定位到文章第二段第三句Butifthoseskillsweremorethansalable,ifstudygavethemabetterunderstandingoftheworldaroundthemandgreateradaptabilityinachangingworld,theyhavenotbeencheated.Theywillfindsomekindofjobsoonenough（但如果这些技能很受欢迎，如果学习能让他们更好地了解周围的世界，并能更好地适应不断变化的世界，那么他们就没有受骗。他们很快就会找到工作的）。由此句可推测，那些拥有自学能力的人，可以在高失业率下找到工作。A选项“有自学能力的人”，符合文章内容，A选项正确。B选项“建筑工人”，文章没有提到此内容，B选项排除。C选项“汽车修理工”，文章没有提到这个内容，可排除。D选项“一个有相当多的销售技巧的人”，一所完全致力于销售技能的学校，尤其是在高失业率的时候，就是把男女送进虎穴，可排除D选项。因此A选项正确。

4.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】细节事实题。根据题干可以定位到文章第二段最后一句Peoplewhohavelearnedhowtolearncanlearnoutsideofschool.Thatiswheremostofushavelearnedtodowhatwedo,notinschool.Learningtolearnisoneofthehighestliberalskills.（学会了如何学习的人可以在校外学习。那是我们大多数人学会做我们所做的事情的地方，而不是在学校。学会学习是最高的自由技能之一）。由此句可推测，要学会如何学习，关注适应变化的能力。D选项“关注适应变化的能力”，符合文章内容，因此D选项正确。A选项“预测技能在未来就业市场的销售能力”，销售能力只是有限的技能，A选项排除。B选项“把当前的就业市场也考虑进去”，文章没有提到这个内容，可排除。C选项“考虑什么技能是可以销售的”，文章没有提到这个内容，可排除C选项。因此D选项正确。
