Weoften______ourenergiesintrivialoccupations.

问题1选项

A.dissipated

B.indulged

C.unscrambled

D.took

【答案】A

【解析】考查动词词义辨析。A选项dissipated“消散；浪费”；B选项indulged“沉溺；满足；放任”；C选项unscrambled“使……还原；译出；理顺，理清”；D选项took“拿；取；接受”。句意：我们经常……我们的精力在琐碎的工作上。根据单词trivialoccupations（琐碎的工作），可推测我们经常会浪费我们的精力在一些琐碎的工作上，结合此处语境，选项A为正确答案。

2.单选题

________arepoorobserversoftheirchild’sbehavior,sodeviantbehaviorreachesunmanageableproportions.

问题1选项

A.Parentsthat

B.Parents

C.Whenparents

D.Ifparents

【答案】B

【解析】考查连词。句意：因为父母不善于观察孩子的行为，所以离谱的行为将会到达一个难以掌控的比例。这个句子关键词是连词so，我们要连接两个完整的句子，所以答案选B；其他选项与题干结合都是把前面一半句当成从句看待，从句不能算是真正意义上的句子只能在句子中充当某个成分，所以A，C，D选项不能选。

3.单选题

A______judgeweighsalltheevidenceandexcludesallpersonalfeelings.

问题1选项

A.scrupulous

B.restless

C.sarcastic

D.resourceful

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A选项scrupulous“细心的；小心谨慎的；一丝不苟的；严格认真的”；B选项restless“焦躁不安的；不安宁的；得不到满足的”；C选项sarcastic“挖苦的；尖刻的，辛辣的”；D选项resourceful“足智多谋的；机智的”。句意：一位_____法官会权衡所有的证据，排除所有的个人感情。一丝不苟，严格认真符合法官形象，权衡证据以及排除个人感情说明一丝不苟，不能体现机智，所以A选项正确。

问题4选项

A.Ambiguity.

B.Contempt.

C.Ignorance.

D.Hostility

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:A

第3题:A

第4题:B

【解析】1.根据第一段的最后两句,家庭团聚是驱使许多新移民的另一个强大动机。或许目前反移民游说团体没有意识到的是:一些新移民往往希望最终回到家乡定居,只要经济条件允许。由此可知,新移民的态度是怀旧的,选项C正确。

2.根据第四段第二句“hecountryoforigin.”移民不断地将他们目前所处社会的命运与他们在原籍国的经历、机遇和期望进行比较和对照。这是移民考查生活经历的不同标准,选项A符合原文。

3.根据第四段最后一句“Fromthesecondgeneration’sperspective,theirlotinlifehasdecidedlynotimproved.”从第二代人的角度来看,他们的生活显然没有改善。也就是说,他们的生活实际上被毁了,因为他们不像上一辈那样可以对比自己不同的生活经历,他们的评估标准基本来自于影视中,他们缺乏理想。选项A正确。

4.根据原文句意可知,disparagement应该和discrimination意思相近,选项中B项与之意思最为相近。

5.单选题

Lovedoesnot________gazingateachother,butinlookingtogetherinthesamedirection.

问题1选项

A.phasein

B.fadein

C.givein

D.consistin

【答案】D

【解析】【选项释义】

A.phasein逐步采用，逐步到位B.fadein渐显，渐强

C.givein让步，投降D.consistin在于，存在于

【考查点】动词词组辨析。

【解题思路】由but可知，前后两个分句之间存在转折的逻辑关系，后半句说到“而在于注视着同一个方向（inthesamedirection）”，与其相对的是“注视彼此（eachother）”，本句表达的是爱情的意义和特点，即爱情是什么，在于什么。consistin指作为基本或主要部分和特征，因此D选项consistin“在于，存在于”最符合题意。

【干扰项排除】

A选项phasein“逐步采用，逐步到位”指在一段时间内逐渐开始使用某物或做某事，通常使用被动语态，且不符合题干的语义逻辑；

B选项fadein“渐显，渐强”指变得更清楚或更大声，后面不接动词，且不符合题干的语义逻辑；

C选项givein“让步，投降”指接受一直在抵制或反对的事情，后面不接动词，且不符合题干的语义逻辑。

【句意】爱情不在于彼此凝视，而在于注视着同一个方向。

6.单选题

Thelocalgovernmentisplanningtomake（

）fortheelderlypeopleinahousingprogram.

问题1选项

A.provision

B.admittance

C.assistance

D.condition

【答案】A

【解析】考查名词辨析。provision“准备，规定，条款”；admittance“进入，入场权，通道”；assistance“帮助，援助”；condition“条件，情况，环境”。makeprovisionfor“为将来需要、困难做准备”。句意：当地政府计划在住房项目上给老年人提供帮助。A项符合题意。

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:A

第3题:A

第4题:D

第5题:A

【解析】1.主旨大意题。文章的主旨句为:ClintonmadetherightdecisioninholdingoutforabetterWTOdeal(克林顿故意拖延以谋取更多的利益的决定是正确的)。

2.推断题。题干问的是从文章中推断出什么。选项C:克林顿有签署批准中国入世之权。D：民主党赞成中国加入世贸，这两项都是事实,因此排除。选项B:美国会故意拖延以求取得更好的条件。根据文章推断这可能性小。推断选项A(美国将会作出让步)正确。

3.推断题。根据题干定位至第五段，题干句子后一句:ZhurefusedtoopenupmuchofthelucrativeChinesesecuritiesmarketandinsistedon"cultural"restrictionsonAmericanmoviesandmusic.HealsoblockedeffortstoallowU.S.automakerstoprovidefleetfinancing(朱镕基拒绝开放利润丰厚的中国证券市场，坚持对美国电影和音乐实行“文化”限制。他还阻止了美国汽车制造商提供车队融资)。因此A项(朱总理拒绝了他们的要求)正确。

4.细节题。通过文章内容推断商界在美国的交易中起主导作用。

5.态度方向。共和党一开始是反对的。第六段说时间不对。最后一段共和党一下子有所改变，他们最终将会接受中国加入世贸组织以表示对整体美国的好感。不管是商人院外活动集团的作用，还是明确指出重开谈判的重要性。这一历史事件太重要绝不能因党争而失去机会。共和党纵然心中不愿，也不得不接受现实。心情是矛盾的。由此得出选择A:矛盾。

问题1选项

A.indicated

B.scrutinized

C.caressed

D.penetrated

【答案】D

【解析】考查同义动词辨析。A选项indicated“表明，显示，象征，暗示”；B选项scrutinized“仔细查看；认真检查；细致审查”，表示用挑剔的眼光以及对细节苛求的态度检查；C选项caressed“抚摸，爱抚”；D选项penetrated“看透；透过……看见，洞察；发现；揭示”。句意：他母亲审视着他的脸，想看看他是否在说真话。Scan“细看；察看；审视；端详”。D选项与scan意思最接近，因此D选项正确。

第2题:D

第3题:D

第4题:B

第5题:A

【解析】第1题:主旨大意题。通读全文，可知作者提出了美国目前初级护理医师比例的严重失衡，造成这一现象的主要原因是薪酬，以及解决的方法，因此C选项“初级保健资源萎缩”符合题意。

第2题:细节事实题。由文章第三段中Contrarytopopularbelief,themorephysicianstakingcareofyoudon’tguaranteebettercare.（与人们普遍的看法相反，医生照顾你的次数越多，就不能保证更好的护理）可知人们通常认为医生照顾病人越多，就越好。

第3题:细节事实题。由文章第四段和第五段中physiciansarefaceswithnochoicebuttoincreasequantitytoboostincome.Primarycarephysicianswhorefusetocompromisequalityareeitherdrivenoutofbusinessortocash-onlypractices（医生们别无选择，只能增加数量以增加收入。拒绝妥协质量的初级保健医师要么被逐出行业，要么从事与一些现金相关的行业）可知D选项“以牺牲质量为代价看更多的病人”符合题意。

第4题:推理判断题。由文章第六段Theyseehowheavilythereimbursementdeckisstackedagainstprimarycare.（他们看到了费用返还体制是如何严重地弄虚作假，不利于初级护理）可知B选项“现行制度是针对初级护理”符合题意。

第5题:细节事实题。文章倒数第三段提出了解决初级护理的一些措施，包括：改革医生返还费用制度；减轻初级保健医生压力；免除选择初级护理作为职业的学生贷款；缩小专科医师与初级护理医师薪水的差异。因此A选项“缩小专家和初级保健医生之间的工资差距”符合题意。
