17.A解析：参见句子：Theypointoutthatatacircus，forexample，wemayseeelephants，monkeys，dogsandotheranimalsdoingquiteskillfulthings．句中they指的就是scientists。

18.B解析：本题为细节推理题。第二段第一句说“Thelatterviewhasgainedmanysupporters，especiallyamongeducators.”也就是说许多教育工作者们更赞同后一种观点，即认知学派的观点。换句话来说，他们对行为主义心理学派不支持。

32.CA项various“混乱的”；D项deep“深沉的”，都不合逻辑；8项right用在此处搭配也不合理。故只有选C。

33.A

36.B

37.D解析：根据前面的Twomoreweekspassed可以确定本题答案为D选项，everytwoweeks的意思是“每隔两周”。

38.B

39.A解析：consultwith的意思是“请教，咨询”；concernabout的意思是“关心”；inferfrom的意思是“推断”；goafter的意思是“追求”。在这应该是向别人请教。

47.C解析：eagertodosth.急切地要做某事。他很急切地想把香蕉卖给我。

48.C从if从句就可得知，本题应选wish，因为从句的谓语在现在的情况下用的不是can，而是could，属虚拟语气用法。

49.A解析：据上下文提到“morning”，所以用“earlyintheday”，表示早晨。

50.D不要与别的考生交谈，尤其不要与那些突击应考的人交谈。cram意为“临时应试”。

51.Cturndown“翻下；关小；拒绝”；turnover“打翻，倾倒，移交”；turnout是“生产出，制造(工业制品)”；turnoff“关，撇开，避开”。

52.Csentence“判决”、“审判”；crisis“危机”；crime“犯罪”；service“服役”。

53.C15．答案为C

你很少做饭，不是吗?seldom“很少……”，带否定意味，因此反意疑问句用肯定形式。而且主句中haveto为情态动词，不是实义动词。

54.A介词by常和动名词连用，说明方式、手段等。

55.C8．答案为C

这次考试比我们想象的简单的多。much修饰形容词比较级，加强语气。

56.B问话的时态是现在完成进行时，答话的时态应与其一致；everyone要求单数的谓语动词。谁在筹划这个舞蹈?全班。

57.B解析：Dialogue对话，conversation聊天，talk谈话，speech演讲。选项B是正确的。

58.B解析：考查状语从句中的省略现象。当状语从句中的上语与主句主语一致时，可将从句主语与其谓语部分的be动词省略。该句补充完整为：if(thesituationis)notcarefullydealtwith,thesituationwillgetworse。

59.C解析：shouldlike+tohavedone其后常接but…，表示“原本想于某事来着，但……”。but后面的句子的动作发生在过去，因此用过去时，所以选C。

60.Cwish后的从句要求虚拟语气。从句用过去时。Beabletodosth．我希望我的高尔夫球能打得跟父亲一样好。江西省赣州市成考专升本英语学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
