1.有人认为金钱是幸福之本(sourceofhappiness);

2.也有人认为金钱是万恶之源(rootofallevils);

3.我的看法。

参考答案

1.A参见第二、三段。那些无线的设施可以用在没有电缆的农村。

2.D解析：本题属细节题。文章第一段倒数第二句已明确提示。

3.C解析：第3段符合题意。

4.B解析：本题为细节辨认题。文章最后指出，经过处理后95%的垃圾可回收利用，其余的变成了炉灰。很显然，那些不再有用的垃圾将被焚烧。因此B项是正确答案。

5.C解析：见原文第三段。研究表明，女孩在计算机学习中占很小的比例。既然是很小的比例，就不会超过50%，所以选择C项。

6.D解析：通读全文可知，作者想表达这样一个观点：人的真正幸福也许是难以达到的。

7.D

8.D解析：第二段。血液中缺少食物化学成分时，大脑就会得到报告。选项D是正确的。

9.B事实细节题。

【应试指导】从第二段可知，那位年轻的女士说她是Liszt的学生，是为了给富家子弟上课挣钱谦生：

10.D从文中第六至十一句的内容可知，generalappearante其实指的就是房间的外观，比如文中的beautifulroom，uglyroom等。

11.B解析：参见第二段。

12.A解析：第一段第三句从专家的观点出发，要求鼓励孩子多参加集体活动，以便让老师注意到交友有困难的孩子。

13.C解析：A、B项都是用来说明James本人，而不是其母亲。

14.B文章第二段最后一句表明：即使女人年老了，知识、能力、善心、勇气等品质也能使她美丽。

15.C

16.B解析：原文提到Ellencooper,whofoundedtheRedHatSocietyin1998，故正确答案应为B。

17.B解析：从整篇文章内容可以看出，罗斯因为其积极上进的人生态度受到同学们的认可和尊敬，文章最后一句就是对此的总结，因此正确答案为B。

18.C解析：本题考查的是对文章细节的把握能力。该题可以从文章第三段第三句withDeliciousapplesbeingamongthelargest得出答案。

19.C解析：通过文章的第3段中的themajorityofAmericanscareabouthonestyinbothpublicandpersonallife可以确定选项C。value是个动词，意为“重……(=haveahighopinionofsomething)”，与文章中的careabout(关心)意思接近。

20.B解析：这道题问的是我们对美国人的哪一点感到惊讶。答案可以从全文的第一句话得出。Americansareproudoftheirvarietyandindividualityyettheyloveandrespectfewthingsmorethanauniform…。美国人为他们的多样化和富有个性而感到骄傲，然而他们对制服却表现出一种对别的事物很少有的喜爱和尊敬。A选项stilljudgeamanbyhisclothes的意思是“仍然以貌取人”，不符原文意思。B选项thinkhighlyofuniforms的意思是“对制服评价高”，与原文意思一致，为正确答案。C选项lesspreferwearingcivilianclothes的意思是“不太喜欢穿平民的衣服”，也不符合原文意思。D选项respectaliftoperatorinuniform的意思是“尊敬穿制服的电梯工”，若选此项则犯了理解过窄的错误。

21.A解析：作者通过阐明耐心的重要性、如何培养耐心和拥有耐心的好处来劝说读者要更加耐心，由此可见A为正确答案。

22.B解析：本题属推理分析题。文章第三段第二句已提示：心理学家所建立的实验室就是他们能控制所有因素的地方，也就是说，最好的实验就是能控制所有因素的地方。

23.C

24.D解析：本题属细节题。文章第二段第一句已明确点明。

25.C主旨大意题。

【应试指导】全文讲述了Lisa在地铁站因晕倒而差点遇险，不过幸而得到Frank及时相救的故事。

26.B见第一段第三句。

27.B解析：全文讲的鲸鱼搁浅的事。选项B是正确的。其他选项都是局部，文章提到，但不是主题。

28.B解析：本题属词汇测试题。文章第二段最后一句中的“manydifferentgroups”已提示：在一个社会里，有许多不同的团体。

29.B参见文章第一段最后一句“It’Salsopossibleforastudenttomovebetweenoneuniversityandanotherduringhisdegreecourse，…，”可知B正确，符合原文。

30.A

31.D解析：这也是一个常识问题。一个世纪是一百年。选项D是正确的。

32.C

33.C解析：如果他打开的门里走出一位漂亮的女士，并且立刻与她结婚。这是对他的无罪的奖赏。

34.A解析：前面说ShirleyAllen喜欢唱歌、弹钢琴，并且学的就是音乐。所以她的梦想肯定是钢琴家或歌手。选项A是正确的。

35.B

36.A25．答案为A

此处测试句意和选词。注意填充处所在的短语“inamoreindependent...”，意思为“以一种更为独立的……”。在fashion(时尚)，characters(特征)，personality(个性)，characteristics(特性)之中，能与不定冠词a搭配的，只有fashion和personality。依据题意，选A为答案。

37.B解析：从速句话的意思来看，作者提醒购物的人们要记住，用赠券买的东西来必能省钱。显然，这句话与上一句有转折的意思，故用However。而Finally，What'smore(并且)，Actually(实际上)都不表示转折。

38.B

39.C

40.D解析：通篇讲的是电视的变化，这里讲的是如今的电视。这里肯定指的是电视屏幕的加大。选项D是正确的。

41.A

42.C解析：本句意思为“他们路上没遇到任何麻烦，顺利到达朋友家，并玩了个痛快，因此Fortunately符合句意。

43.A

44.D解析：此处问“当一个紧急情况发生时，我们将召唤谁”，选疑问代词who。

45.A让孩子听着音乐做作业，这是一种“新的”方式。

46.D解析：通过常识了解句子所表达的意思。8个小时的睡眠对成年人来说足够了，因此generally”一般来讲”正确。

47.A固定短语attheageoftwelve，12岁时。须注意空格在句首，大写第一字母。

48.B他们就必须要花钱在电视、收音机、报纸、杂志等上登广告。

49.B

50.C

51.B解析：选项B画线字母读[kcg]，其他选项画线字母读[ken]。

52.D解析：该题测试辅音字母组合th的读音。选项A、B、C中th发[θ]音；选项D中th发[z]音。

53.A

54.C

55.Bresist中字母s读作[s]，其他都是读作[z]。

56.C解析：画线部分读[c:]，其他选项的画线部分读[e]。

57.D解析：画线部分读[c]，其他选项的画线部分读[eu]。

58.A

59.A在A选项中y读[ai]，在其他选项中均读[i]。fly飞；busy忙的；money钱；fifty五十。

60.B

61.C解析：比较等级的最高级。fancy—fancier—thefanciest。这些可能是这个商店里最好的窗帘了。

62.D解析：either…or…neither…nor…，notonly．．．butalso．．．做主语时，谓语动词与离它最近的名词或代词在人称和数方面保持一致。

63.B解析：inthat表示“因为”。

64.A

65.A解析：物主代词与名词应紧密相连，故排除B、C和D。

66.A

67.B

68.C解析：本题为词义辨析题。yield意为“产生，屈服”；stick意为“粘贴，坚持”；adapt意为“调整，使适应”；adopt意为“采用”。本句大意为：现在说IBM的竞争者们能否在可支付得起的花费上调整他们的产品适应新的硬件还为时尚早。

69.C解析：Never等表示否定的词语置于句首时，后接倒装结构，而think后接宾语从句应用陈述句语序。故答案应选C。

70.B解析：这是主语从句后置的句子。由于主语从句中有表示选择意义的or，所以不能选that。if不能引导主语从句。

71.C解析：Inshort表“总而言之”。

72.C解析：本题考虚拟语气在名词性从句中的用法。在“Itis+desirable(essential，necessary，critical，etc．)+that"引导的名词性从句中谓语动词用"should+v，”，should可以省略。本句大意为；有必要为该大学任命一位新校长。

73.B解析：ratherthan“而不是”。例如：weoughttocheckupratherthanjustacceptwhathesays.我们该核实一下，不应只信他的话。rathe
