参考答案

1.B文章第二段倒数第二句和最后一句谈到了批评家们对现代生活方式的忧虑。法国人在追求物质生活的同时，也失去了很多东西。所以答案应是B项。

2.A本题为细节题。根据作者在Ordinarily，searchingthroughthefilesforownersofelderlyChevieswouldhavebeenanimpossiblydifficulttask．．．句中所用的虚拟语气就可肯定A正确。

3.C解析：本题为细节辨认题。由第三段“InNepal，hikerspickeduptrashonMountEverest"可以得出A项正确；由谊段“IntheUnitedStates，childrenplantedtrees"可以得出B项正确;由本段“artistsdrewpicturesonwallsnexttohighways，andmusiciansgaveconcertstosupporttheworkofenvironmentalgroups"可以得出D项正确。因此，该题可用排除法选C。

4.DA、B、C三项都和文章涉及的内容相反。由第一段第二句“Whenpeopletalkaboutit，youcanhearawordinventedinJapan，‘DINKS’，whichmeansDoubleIncomeNoKids．”可得出D项正确。

5.A解析：客人建议“将瓶颈打碎”、“用牙”。注意不是选项B“用嘴”。

6.C解析：问作者拒绝接受小费是为什么。这道题可以从第三段一、二句得出答案C。Themanagerandeveryoneelsewhowereastepabovetheboxboysoftenshoutedorders．Oneofthesewas：youcouldn’taccepttips．作者从亲身经历中感觉到顾客给小费是一种自然的表示感谢的做法。而aboxboy拒绝接受小费往往会伤害顾客的感情。一方坚持要给而另一方拒不接受，会影响顾客和超市之间的友好关系。而aboxboy接受小费又会违反超市的规定。注意第三段Acceptingtipswasafriendlythingandmadethecustomerfeelgood．Ijustcouldn’tunderstandthestrangenessofsomepeople’sideas．句中somepeople指的是那些规定禁止收取小费的人。这段最后一句Iwouldhavehadtothrowthequarteratheroreatenitorsomething．是虚拟语气。可以看作省去了ifIhadtriednottobreaktherule(要是我想要不违反规定)，我就不得不把那个25美分的硬币扔回去，或吞下去，或什么的。

7.D解析：本题为细节推理题。Papousek在实验中发现尽管灯亮的时候小孩开始笑了并说些什么，但他认为不是灯亮而是它能把灯弄亮才是高兴的原因。

8.C参考文章第二句。

9.A见第二段第二句。

10.D32．答案为D

通过第一段...PigsinChinesecultureisasignofkindnessandgenerosity得知中国人对猪积极的评价，选D。

11.B解析：参见第三句。

12.C依据在第二段中，比较隐蔽，根据“Homosapiensisthoughttohavearrivedintheislandabout4．000yearsago．muchtoolatetoberesponsibleforthetools．”可知答案为C项。也可以用排除法，A、B、D三项与文章内容矛盾。

13.C

14.C事实细节题。

【应试指导】从第四段第二句可知，冬泳爱好者一年四季都游泳，这样他们感到快乐和轻松。

15.B

16.C此题为理解题。根据第2段第1句Anymistakemadeintheprintingofastampraisesitsvalueostampcollectors可以看出，对集邮者而言，邮票的印刷的任何错误都可使该邮票升值，故C为正确答案。A也能使其增值，但文中并没有提及到。B不符常情。

17.C

18.DEmma发现这本书有她亲笔写下的自己的名字和地址，自己却从未读过。这里的感觉当然是“吃惊”。所以选D项。

19.B从整个这段话不难看出是在出发前不久。

20.D解析：第三段第一句为该题主题句，下文全是列举。

21.B

22.A

23.C解析：文中第四段写到了游客游览LostSea的情景，结合文章其他段落，可知日前CraigheadCaverns是—个旅游胜地。

24.B解析：可由下文的“…andwentbacktobed”推知，正确答案为B。

25.C解析：本题为主旨归纳题。第一段论述了大气对地球环境的保护主要是它起着一个保护伞的作用，有它的存在地球就避免了来自太阳辐射的危害。第二段紧接着论述了人体对辐射的承载度和辐射对人的危害的潜伏性和程度。因此，本文的主要论述对象是太空辐射对人的影响，而不是防护辐射的重要性或大气和我们的环境。

26.A36．答案为A

根据文章第1段中的ourcomputerisdown及后面的文章内容，作者在机场遭遇电脑系统死机，可推知此题答案为A。

27.A

28.D解析：因为地面上有冰，所以应选D。

29.B解析：选项B是正确的。作者以Sam为例，但并不是告诉读者如何修Sam的车(选项A)；文章也并不是谈分析问题的必要性或重要性(选项C和D)。

30.C解析：本文主要谈论的就是味觉。

31.B

32.D解析：刘翔认为瑞士洛桑是他的幸运之地。

33.D此处表示电视购物广告，既有产品描述又有模特的演示，while在这里强调两个动作同时进行。

34.B解析：读懂该句可以发现，此处空白应填一个不定冠词。因空白后的词以元音开头，故应用an。

35.D解析：见上一条。

36.A

37.C仔细听监考教师宣读的指令。

38.D

39.A

40.D解析：当知道男孩整日闲逛什么事也不做时，他承诺给男孩一个店铺让他经营。

41.D

42.A解析：虽然大家对男孩的母亲印象颇佳，男孩仍然感到很尴尬，而且不愿露面。A选项hid是hide“躲藏”的过去式，hideoneselffromeveryone是“躲起来不让人见到”的意思，B选项protectoneselffrom意思是“保护自己不受……的侵袭、危害”，C选项separateoneselffrom意思是“使自己与别人分离”，D选项escapedfrom意思是“逃离(某处)”。从上下文判断，A为正确答案。

43.B

44.D固定搭配题：

【应试指导】breakthelaw犯法，符合题意。

45.C

46.A

47.A解析：本题考查固定搭配。saveup意为“储蓄”；savefor意为“为……而储蓄”；savefrom寓为“从……中挽救”；而saveon意为“节省”。

48.A

49.Acase箱子，box盒子，load装载，fiu填满。根据上下文，买了一箱红酒，几家分。选项A是正确的。

50.C23．答案为C

根据本段后面的细节或第三、四段的段首句可知此处应为“赞成某事”而非反对，因此应选介词for与argument搭配。

51.Cmakeupfor为“弥补”的意思；makeuseof“利用”，makefor“走向，有利于”，makeout“书写，拼凑，证明”。

52.A

53.C14．答案为C。制定计划比实施计划容易的多。比较两事物时，对应的句型，遵循前后一致的原则。

54.B本题考查定语从句。

【应试指导】句意：别人给了我三本关于烹饪的书，第一本是我真正喜欢的。这是一个定语从句，which指代threebooks。从句中有thefirst，因此关系代词前要加介词0f。

55.B本题考查被动语态。

【应试指导】句意：这个村子被认为是美国著名作家欧内斯特·海明威在这里写了这篇小说。Thisvillage与believe之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。

56.B

57.A解析：本题考时态。根据前一分句中的时间得知，后一分句应用将来完成时。本句大意为；到你明天到达北京的时候，我已将动身前往上海了。

58.A解析：本句测试词义。Beseated意为“坐在”；本句大意为；庭院甩卖通常在户外进行，卖主坐在板凳、椅子或箱子上。

59.A解析：flightofstairs表“一段楼梯”。

60.Bthecurrenttrend意为“目前的趋势”。2022年宁夏回族自治区固原市成考专升本英语学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
