参考答案

1.A解析：文章第三段提到“Insteadofstealingcars,heletssomeoneelsedoitandthenwaitsforthecar-ownertoplaceanad(启事)inthenewspaperaskingforhelp.”故正确答案应为A。

2.A解析：文章第一段的最后两行，作者说战争结束他们就可以回到伦敦了。由此可见，他们在第二次世界大战前是住在伦敦的，而第二次世界大战期间是住在一个小镇。选项A是正确的。

3.D

4.A

5.C解析：参见最后一段。

6.C从短文第一段第一句Advertisement…tobuyorsellgoodsorservices．可知广告的作用是推动销售。

7.B

8.B解析：本文讲的是大学校园里如何禁止学生酗酒。倒数第二段中提到，学校规定入校新生必须上规定的特殊课程——酒精教育课。这门课的目的是让学生了解酒精的危害。

9.B44．第二段。燃烧垃圾既补充了能源又省了地。选项B是正确的。

10.C36．答案为C

此题考查主题思想判断。注意文章中的第1段和最后一段，发现有wildandfarmbirdsoftengetafluvirus，thebestwaytostopthespreadofbirdflu，注意下划线部分。主题思想一般位于文章的第1段或最后一段，故选C为答案。

11.A解析：细节推断题。根据第一段第一行“Duringthesummervacationtherewillbearevisedscheduleofservicesfortheuniversitycommunity”可知本文是要介绍夏季校园的一些服务时间的变化。

12.C解析：见原文最后一段。1909年，马可尼与德国科学家分享了诺贝尔奖。

13.C解析：第二段。这段解释什么是冬眠。前面说的是发生在冬天睡眠的现象，最后总结这个现象就是冬眠。选项C是正确的。

14.D

15.B解析：参见第二段。

16.D49．从全文来看，Jones逃离监狱、参加海军、并领导海军赢得胜利。所以说他是勇敢的、无畏的。选项D是正确的。

17.B解析：本题属主旨判断题。文章第一段主要讲：第一辆汽车的重要性，第二、三段主要讲：汽车是怎样发动起来的。

18.C本题为细节判断题。从第二段第二句“Those材signsareasfollowing：whentoshakehandsandwhattosaywhenmeetpeople，Whenandhowtogivetips，howtomakepurchases，whentoacceptandrefuseinvitations，whentotakestatementsseriouslyandwhennot”可知，文化冲突会使我们不知所措。而C项却不是文化冲突所造成的。

19.C解析：第四段。羊是最承受艰苦的动物。它可以在非常贫瘠的土地上生存。选项c是正确的。

20.D文中第二段指出。MaryOuterbridge将lawntennis这项运动从Bermuda带到了美国纽约，并且1874年春天，她在美国打了第一场比赛。

21.B根据文中第四段第一句可知，哥白尼起初没有将他的发现公布于世。

22.C

23.C48．倒数第二段第二句话。选项C是正确的。

24.D解析：通读全文可知作者客观地评述了话题。

25.D解析：参见原文最后一句。

26.A

27.B解析：这篇文章主要讲的是药物对感冒的作用。第一段讲到，人们提出一个疑问，科学家都能让人类上月球，为什么就不能治愈感冒呢?因为，感冒的病毒成千上万，而我们又不能确定患的是哪种病毒引起的感冒，所以无法治疗。

28.A解析：在第六段，Cusick说，马戏团在雇用他时就已经知道他是艾滋病病毒携带者，因此在他花费长时间的准备之后，又没有让他登台演出就解雇他是不公平的。

29.B解析：全文都在讲获取帮助的策略，故选B。

30.B

31.D解析：参考下文，It'sactuallyratherdifficulttosay．．．可知，此处表达的是与difficult相反的意思，因此应选择easy为答案。因有两个与easy有关的备选答案，需进一步分析。因easy修饰单数可数名词，因此只有选择aneasy。

32.C解析：然后叔叔转向男孩问他做了什么事。

33.A注意写在黑板上的信息。

34.D解析：根据上下文，可以看出这里讲的是对假树的清洁工作：清洗和除尘。Sweepthemoff把树扫掉，washthemoff把树洗掉，tidy整理。都不符合文章含义。选项D是正确的。

35.D

36.C此题测试理解、辨词和推理能力。在该句中，英文aroundthem，意为“在它们周围”，及下旬中aroundthecity，意为“在城市周围”都提示了．此处的填充词应表达一个“郊区的”的意思。但如没有掌握英文suburban一词，可用排除法。city为“城市”，urban为“城市的”，countryside

为“农村”，因而只剩一个suburban，它必定是答案。

37.A久和平的基础上的相互信任迈出了第一步。

38.C解析：Itissuggestedthat．．．意为“表明……”，其后不用should加动词原形的虚拟式。

39.B

40.B解析：keepdoingsth，表示“持续做某事”。

41.C解析：读懂全句可知，该句的意思是“美国人的独立精神是使轿车大众化的原因”。which可作关系代词，但在句中无先行词；可作疑问代词，但句中无此意。that可作关系代词，但句中无先行代词；可作连词，但从句中无主语。where可作关系代词，但无先行词，从句中也无主语；可作疑问副词，但句中无主语。what可作表语从句的主语，引导名词从句，相当于thatwhich。

42.C解析：本题属词选题。dark(黑的)与后面的"black"相对应。

43.A

44.A

45.A

46.B根据theindefiniteneeds可知应选择serving，意思为“满足不同的需要”。

47.A

48.C解析：本题测试运用介词的能力。本题中与介词搭配的是被其他词修饰的mornings，根据语法规则应该用On，这与词组inthemorning中的用法不同。

49.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。

50.D固定搭配题。

【应试指导】George一家住在公园对面的街道上。acrossfrom在……的对面：

51.Astandfor“代表”；standout“突出，出色，支撑住”；standup“站起”；standby“遵守袖手旁观”。

52.A显然空格里需填入一个副词来形容，以过去分词形式出现的形容词taught，所以首先排除B，C，此外oneof…之后须加入一个最高级形式，所以A正确。

53.Alet的句型是：letsth．+be+过去分词；make的句型为：makesth．+过去分词；allow的句型是：allow+宾语+带t0的动词不定式；do在此不合语法。

54.Dtakeapart指“拆开(机器)”等；takein指“接受，吸收”；takeover指“接收，接任”；takeup“拿起，占去，占据”。

55.C14．答案为C

wasmaking星动词的过去进行时，表示在过去某一时间里，动作正在进行；

56.C解析：本题测试形似词辨义。require意为“要求”；acquire意为“获得”；inquire意为“打听”；squire意为“乡绅”。本句大意为：昨天主任向我了解我们的工作情况。

57.D表示更详尽的细节应用further。Father更远的(距离上的)。给我更多一点细节好吗?

58.B解析：thinksthover表“仔细思考，考虑”。

59.B解析：本题测试动词辨义。convince意为“使……信服”；compel意为“迫使”；conceive意为“构思”；conquer意为“征服”。结合句意，应选B。本句大意为：不可能逼迫一个爱国者背叛其同胞。

60.B解析：时间状语从句中要用一般现在时表示将来。湖北省荆门市成考专升本英语学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
