参考答案

1.B41．答案为B

根据第一段最后一句可知该陈述是错误的，修剪只是在有必要的时候才进行。

2.B解析：第三段说，马戏团的发言人申明解雇Cusick是为了保护其他人的安全。

3.C

4.D解析：作者在这篇短文的第一段点明了主题：Thecollectionofhappinessactionsbroadlycategorizedas"honor"helpyoucreatethislifeofgoodfeelings.并在下文中举例说明了这个主题。所以短文的最好的题目是HappinessThroughHonorableActions。

5.A本题为细节辨认题。文章第三段第三句讲到“Basiccoursesondoingresearchandwritingpapersaretaughtatthebeginningoftheprogram．”即：当研究项目开始前，需要教授作调研和撰写论文等基础课程。

6.C解析：细节题。根据最后一段中“．．．andonlythosesectionsofthetempletoodamagedtorepairhavebeenreplaced．”。

7.B解析：参见第四句：Webster写书的目的是表明美国英语正发展成与英国英语不同的含义、发音和拼写的语言。

8.C解析：在倒数第四段中罗斯对比了growolder和growup的不同，可推知正确答案为C。

9.A根据第一段的段首句可知应选A项。

10.C

11.C解析：第三段。鸵鸟不能判断什么该吃，什么不该吃，这也是这种鸟的习性，什么都吞。选项C是正确的。

12.A参见倒数第四段。

13.B解析：参见第四句：Webster写书的目的是表明美国英语正发展成与英国英语不同的含义、发音和拼写的语言。

14.C解析：第一段。燃烧木材，排放出烟。烟中存有肉眼看不见的颗粒。这些颗粒是有害的化学物质。燃烧越多的木材，产生的烟就越多，释放的有害化学物质的颗粒也就越多。所以，燃烧过多的木材是危险的。

15.A解析：从not…fromoneyeartothenext句中可见A正确。

16.D解析：参见原文第三段。达到目标。

17.C见第二段第一句后半句：…buthedecidednottocureherrightaway。

18.C解析：文章中说，中产阶层的父母亲因为自己的工作性质是开创性的，因此对其子女也就比较开放，希望他们充满好奇。选项C是正确的。

19.B解析：参见最后一段的第二句。

20.D解析：指动物做一个表演，就给它一些吃的东西。

21.B见文章第二句话，即可知答案。

22.D

23.B解析：因为Larry有机会出演一个角色，这是他通往成功的开始。

24.D解析：文中提及了他写的几本给孩子们看的书，很受欢迎。但并未提及他为什么写这些书。

25.B52．这篇文章是有关不同领域的名人。选项B是正确的。其他选项是其中的一部分，不全面。

26.B参见第一段句子：“However,theseearlyimmigrantsfromEuropedidn'twanttosharethelandwiththenatives．TheykilledoffmanyOftheIndians，seizedtheirlandorpushedthemofftolandsfartheraway．”

27.B

28.B推理判断题。

【应试指导】文章前三段介绍了人物之间的关系。年轻的妇女Sarah和丈夫是新婚。丈夫还有两个孩子，其中的男孩叫Abe。故8项是正确答案。

29.D解析：文章第二段提到thefriendswillraceagainsteachotherinthe50-meterbutterfly(蝶泳)intheAustralianchampionshipsatHomebushBay．因此可以选出正确答案。后面讲两个人的友谊，最后一段提到两个人将进行比赛竞争：thereisachancethatIcouldactuallybecompetingagainstShaneGould。

30.D

31.B解析：本题中last的用法比较特殊，它可以用在sth．1astsb.(for)sometime的结构中，而其他几个词都无这种用法。

32.B解析：通过本句的让步语气：Althoughwealllived“in”和下一句therewasno“lightsout(无熄灯)”，可以确定B选项nobody，即没有人进行强制管理。

33.A解析：这道题易误选B选项where，因为此空前为一地名。这个空开始到句末为一定语从句，由when引出。在这个定语从句中地点已交代得非常清楚(wewereseated)aroundthetable。这个空之前的atuncleAllen'sinBelleville也是地点状语的一部分，因此先行词应是theevening，后接when引出定语从句。

34.A

35.D

36.C

37.B

38.B

39.C29．答案为C。excess“过量的，剩余的”常指超过需求的部分，或超过规定的部分；exceptional“例外的”、exceeding“超越的，胜过的”、external“外部的”不符句意。

40.C解析：C选项stand在这里的意思是“短时间地停放车辆”，最合题意。D选项lie的意思是“坐落在……”，与题意明显不合，故不用。A选项keep指长时间保留，B选项stop表示很短时间的暂停放，均不够贴切。

41.B解析：tendto倾向于。思考倾向于用文字表达出来。

42.C解析：根据上下文，当时入学是非常难的。校长对家长很怠慢。因此应选atleast。最后，我们跑到一个离家有五英里远的学校，校长让我们等了至少一个小时。

43.B解析：根据单词auctioneers拍卖和给出的具体的钱数，可以知道这句话的大概意思：一幅梵·高的作品“向日葵”拍卖到多少钱。这里应是售出。选项B是正确的。

44.B当今世界警察不得不时刻准备着应对随时可能的突发意外情况。此处说的是“现在的”状态，所以选B项。而其他项分别意为“将来的”、“现实的”、“整个的”，不合语境。

45.B文意理解题。应该是“他们结了婚的儿女”，“结了婚的”应该是“married”，故选B。

46.A这篇文章介绍了1998年两位诺贝尔和平奖获得者的事迹。awardaprizetosb．授奖予某人。挪威诺贝尔委员会决定将1998年诺贝尔和平奖授予JohnHume和DavidTrimble。

47.A因为是吃早饭，因此断定是第二天早晨。而B项afternoon“下午”；C项evening“晚上”；D项week“周”，都不合逻辑。故选A。

48.C前面讲了手机的好处，这里开始讲手机的弊端。从最糟糕的讲起。worse是指两者间哪一个更糟。此文提到的手机的坏处不止两个。再者，若是比较级，则下文中应出现than。

49.B因为作者情绪已经转变，到了第二天早上已经对孩子们好了起来。C项love1y“可爱的”，用来修饰小孩，不能表达作者对孩子和蔼这层意思；A项cruel“残酷的”，意思刚好相反。故选B。

50.A解析：计算好时间。

51.A本题考查冠词的用法。

【应试指导】句意：在中国，自行车是一种普遍的交通方式。“the／a(an)+单数名词”表示“类属”，故第一空的冠词用the或a均可；第二空指一种交通方式，应用不定冠词a。

52.B本题考查动词辨析。

【应试指导】句意：人们要保持健康的最佳方式之一是养成健康的饮食习惯。develop发展；grow成长；increase加大，增加；raise提高。

53.C20．答案为C

句子的前半部分是主语从句，主语从句中的谓语动词时态应根据句意而定。

54.C该旬为强调句型，应使用itis/was…that(who)…的句型。

55.A此题考察虚拟语气的用法，不难推断A为正确选项。

56.A解析：“电话被发明”，故用A。

57.C

58.C解析：seldom含有否定意义，C项表示Jerry也不。

59.C解析：此句为强调句型，被强调部分是句子的主语，由第一个that即从属连词引导的主语从句来充当；第二个that是强调句型的组成部分。
