参考答案

1.D解析：这篇文章讲的是MarkTwain的故事，他是美国著名的作家。参见第一句。

2.B

3.B

4.D解析：本题为细节题。根据文章第1段最后一句Hesaiditwasa1950or1951Chevrolet．和第2段第1句中的Ordinarily，searchingthroughthefilesforownersofelderlyChevieswouldhavebeenanimpossiblydifficulttaskbecausethereweretwoandahalfmillionsuchcars．我们不难看出Chevrolets与Chevies所指的是同一个东西，故应选D。

5.D参见：...becameverypopularbothintheUnitedStatesandinEurope．

6.D解析：按照第二段的说法。野狗是群居动物。一只母狗会一次生16只小狗，一群当中如有几只母狗同时生小狗的话，那就会很多。但按它们的习性，一群狗中只有一只母狗给小狗喂奶。可以想象，一只母狗是喂不过来的。

7.A解析：根据文章的说法，工人是被管理的对象，是听从别人的。所以，这也就形成了他们在管理自己的孩子时，也希望孩子只是执行自己的命令而已，比较容易动用休罚。选项A是正确的。

8.D解析：最后一段的意思排除了选项A、B、C。只有选项D是正确答案。

9.C解析：推断题。根据第五句“Mostinsectshavetheabilitytohibernateinwinter，butthehoneybeeseemstohavelostthis．”可知C项正确。

10.B

11.B解析：根据答案选项回原文中定位，很快能找到对头发颜色和性格的描写，因此可以排除C和D。根据常识可知5'5"是对身高的描写，因此A也可以排除。

12.D

13.A

14.C解析：参见第三句：《美国英语辞典》于1828，年出版二卷，已被公认为美国用法的权威。

15.B解析：从短文第二自然段理发师所说的话，可知该选B。

16.C句意理解题。

【应试指导】从第一段第六句可知，布朗先生给姐姐及其家人寄送圣诞贺卡．他没有忘记马克17个生日中的任啊一个。由此可以推断，在马克过生日时，布朗先生总是要寄些东西表示祝贺。

17.B

18.B

19.D

20.A

21.D

22.C

23.A解析：客人建议“将瓶颈打碎”、“用牙”。注意不是选项B“用嘴”。

24.C由第二段最后一句Somescientists…animalsreleaseachemicalthatstartsthemhibernating．可知，C项符合题意，故选C。

25.D解析：本题考查的是对词义的猜测能力。通过该词所在句的下旬thecoldperiodisgoodforthetree可得出答案。该题还可用排除法解。A选项improved的意思是“改进”，B选项increased“增加”，C选项sold“出售”，文章都未提及，故不用。

26.D解析：参照短文最后一段。

27.B

28.B答案为B。根据第一段第二句，Sleepisnecessaryforgoodhealth作出该项选择。

29.C

30.D解析：参见第四段。

31.B词义辨析题。

【应试指导】88yards(88码)指一段距离，8项为正确答案。away一条路，一种方法；apath一条小路；ahighway一条公路。

32.D解析：inone'sopinion表“在某人看来”，固定搭配。

33.D解析：在肯塔基学校，主管人的儿子放弃学业参加了北方军，死在战场上，再也没回来。trytodosth．，试图做某事但未成功；refusetodosth．，拒绝做某事。这里已经提到他参了军并死在战场上，该两选项是错的。pretendtodosth．装作做某事，不合题意，也是错的。quittodosth．放弃正在做的某事，开始做另一件事。

34.C解析：readthrough通读，读遍。很少有人都读完。

35.Bmopofhair蓬松的卷发。

36.A解析：士兵枪杀了他。shoot射中，射死；shootat朝……开枪。destroy，毁坏；damage损坏；bury埋葬。

37.D解析：which在此引导定语从句，修饰前面列出的动物。

38.Cinvent“发明”；create“创造”；produce“生产”。根据前面所说，种植的是橡胶树，因此应是“生产”橡胶。C项是正确的。

39.D35．通篇讲了鸡蛋的好处，又反驳了对鸡蛋的错误看法，这里指的肯定是鸡蛋。选项D是正确的。

40.C

41.B

42.D解析：只知道她父亲是家具木工。他也收集化石。“but”转折说明前面应是“少”。

43.A

44.A解析：他们说，如果政府能够限制任何人把自己的观点公之于众，那么我们所谓言论自由的权利是毫无意义的。

45.D解析：列一个购物单并竖持按单子上的东西购买是节约钱的一个重要因素，所以用stickingto，这也正和第一段提到的“stickingtoagrocerylist"相吻合。而replyto表示“回答”，accordingto表示“根据”，belongto表示“属于”，都不符合题意。

46.B动词不定式作目的状语。tosatisfyone’sneed意为“满足需要”。

47.D解析：takingtwoclasses意思是“上了两门课”，与其后的有空闲时间吻合。A选项studying后应接学习科目。

48.D解析：someone某人。这两句话的意思是：我们是该用手机、笔记本电脑、照相机等来满足我们的需求，但我们还可以在不想被打扰时关机。如果知道怎样使用手机，就可以避免它的弊端。

49.B

50.C解析：后面说，在她20岁的时候生了场大病，所以一切都改变了。Differfrom与……不同，sthconfusesb某事把某人弄糊涂，beconfused被弄糊涂，mix搅和、混合。这些选项意义不对，搭配不对。选项C是正确的。

51.D19．答案为D。这个小男孩被经过的汽车撞倒了。knockdown“撞倒”；knockon“敲击”；

knockat“敲(门)”；knockin“(把钉子)钉入”。

52.B

53.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。

54.C8．答案为C

因健康状况不佳，我父亲去年退休了。现在分词的独立结构做原因状语。

55.A9．答案为A

现在我们这个地方很少下大雨，不是吗?seldom“很少”，有否定含义，因此反意疑问句用肯定形式。

56.D答案为D

他的兄弟成了一名律师，他也想做律师，只有which能引导非限定性定语从句。

57.Bwisdom是不可数名词，通常不加定冠词。智慧是非常好的美德。

58.unreasonable

59.D

60.A此题考查形近词辨析。arise“发生，出现”；rise“升起，上升”；raise“举起，抬起”；arouse“唤醒，引起”。根据词意和句意选A项。广东省梅州市成考专升本英语学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
