参考答案

1.C解析：本题考查的是推断能力。推理题要求以文章文字信息为依据，不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推断。文章最后一段最后一句Thelistofillnessescausedormadeworsebybadeatinghabitsisfrightening.意思是“由不良饮食习惯所引发并不断加重的一连串疾病令人发指”，可以推导出C选项。

2.A解析：文中第一段第二行“Beforethedawnofthetwentiethcentury,…”表明是在二十世纪之前发生的。

3.B48．答案为B

B选项是第三段其中的一句原文。因此B为最佳答案。

4.D

5.C解析：这篇文章主要讲了Williams写这本书的目的是让人们找宝。选项C是正确的。其他三项都只是文章中整个事件的一部分，不是主题。

6.C40．第二段。根据文中所说，先填饱肚子才能想到保暖：衣物和遮蔽之所。选项C是正确的。

7.B

8.C

9.D解析：从文章第二段第三句中“...importantadditionsweremadebyMontessori，Dewey，andothers．”可知D是正确答案。

10.D解析：由文章前两段可知纳迪亚不说话并不是因为她不懂英语。

11.D解析：参见本文第一句。

12.B解析：根据文章内容，可知Dr.Kleitman只是证实了每个人都有自己的能量周期，但他并未讲出为什么人们会在一天的不同时间里处于巅峰状态。因此答案B项是错误的。

13.B解析：参见句子：Duringthepasttenyears，scientiststellusthatthetemperatureoftheworldhasdroppedalittle．

14.A第三段中提到一旦鲸鱼搁浅，等待它的只有死亡。A项是正确的。B项可能是事实，但文中并未提及鲸鱼死后的处理。

15.B解析：从整篇文章内容可以看出，罗斯因为其积极上进的人生态度受到同学们的认可和尊敬，文章最后一句就是对此的总结，因此正确答案为B。

16.C解析：本题问为什么那么多的人们留在维苏威火山附近生活。答案可从第二段找到：MountVesuviushadnoteruptedforcenturies，sothepeopleofPompeiifeltsafe．许多世纪以来，维苏威火山都没有喷发过，因此人们认为在那儿生活是安全的。

17.C解析：参见最后一段。

18.C解析：主旨推理题。从全文的内容来看，作者先介绍了古希腊和古罗马的考试主要是口试，后来的欧洲中世纪的考试也是如此。最后，作者交代了现代的考试情况，主要是以笔试为主。

19.A解析：主旨大意题。通过文章的第—句就可以判断A项是正确的，其他选项只是文章讨论的一个细节。

20.C解析：第二段提到阅读过多会造成眼睛疲劳。选项C是正确的。

21.C解析：文章最后五行，指明许多雨伞被送到这位失主门前，虽然有些雨伞上附有留言，但都没有、也不会有任何姓名。

22.A解析：前面说明内部感官是干什么的。接着用ineffect强调、总结，进一步说明内部感官的作用。选项A是正确的。

23.C解析：第二段和最后一段。第二段告诉我们Jack是谁，他的故事是什么。最后一段作者特意说明WalterMitty是一个做白日梦的人，并在最后一句强调，如今仍有人梦想着(dream强调不可能成功)轻松成功。选项C是正确的。

24.D解析：细节辨认题。根据第二段中“Hehasreceivedl5lettersinreply，fourofwhichgavehimtheprivilegeofaninterview”可得出正确答案为D。

25.C解析：这道题问的是对穿制服持反对意见的人认为穿制服的人会是什么样。A选项areusuallyhelpful的意思是“通常是爱帮助人的”，B选项havelittlefreedom的意思是“几乎没有自由”，C选项losepersonalcharacter的意思是“失去个性”，D选项enjoygreaterpopularity的意思是“更加受欢迎”。本题答案可以从第二段第三句话得出：Primaryamongtheargumentagainstuniformsistheirlackofvarietyandthelossofindividualityexperiencedbypeoplewhomustwearthem．“不赞成穿制服的人最主要的理由是它缺少变化，不得不穿制服的人会感觉失去个性”。关键词语是thelossofindividuality，它和C选项losepersonalcharacter意思相同。另外，第二段第五句话说：Whenpeoplelookalike，theyarelikelytothink，speak，andactsimilarlyonthejobatleast．“当人们看上去相像时，他们有可能在工作时思维、言语和行为方式也很相似。”这句话说明了同行的人失去个性时的表现。因此C为正确答案。

26.A51．答案为A

此号题为理解题。文章告读者犹太人庆祝新年是在夏季结束的时候。根据常识．我们可以推断山夏末应大约在7～9月份之间，故A正确。

27.D解析：本题属细节题。本文第一段第三句中的“anextremely(非常)important”已提示答案。

28.D解析：参见第三段。

29.D解析：本题属细节题。文章倒数第三段第一句已明确点明。

30.D

31.A解析：前面已经说了是拍卖，bidder可估计是投标者，为了这幅画竞争。这种竞争不是肢体上的争斗fight，也不是口头上的争论argue，当然也不是喊叫shout了。选项A是正确的。

32.B解析：movethrough意为“穿越”，符合题意。

33.C

34.C解析：interpret表示“解释”。

35.B解析：获得第二名的是美国运动员DominiqueArnold，他在比赛中大部分时间都是处于领先地位，最后以12秒90的成绩完成这场比赛。

36.B根据四个选项的含义，再结合生活常识，可以判定他只是有可能得分不会超过80分(也有可能得分超过80分)，故应选B项。

37.C

38.D解析：regulate规范，管理。此处作后置定语，主谓关系。

39.Dfields意为“领域”，与前面的other搭配构成意义完整的句了。

40.D作者最后跟孩子们说明，自己最近不太高兴。不是不太kind“善良的”或easy“容易的”，所以不选A和C；B项reasonable“讲道理的”，也不符合此处语境。故选D。

41.A

42.C由下文观点排除A、B两项，由最后一段知作者是欣赏警察行事的态度与精神，而不是羡慕。

43.D解析：本题属推理、分析题。Taylor的意思是裁缝，所以我们选D．sewed(缝纫，缝制)。

44.D27．答案为D

此处考察介词搭配。overtime表示“经过一段长时间”；attimes“有时，偶尔”；

intime“及时”；ontime“准时”。

45.A解析：prize奖品，奖赏；praise称赞，赞扬；price价格，价钱，代价；pride自豪，骄傲，傲慢。本句中beawarded意思是“颁奖，授奖”，后面的宾语是theGermanZoologicalSociety，由此可知，上周曼泽尔被德国动物学会颁发奖章。故A是正确答案。

46.A

47.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。

48.A下文说thereisafight可知上文要警察维护和平。

49.A

50.D解析：这里是通过一个事件说明战争的残酷。在战时，士兵与平民的地位肯定是士兵高于平民。因此，当士兵给对方提出要求时肯定是以命令的形式。force意为“强迫”；promise意为“承诺”；beg意为“乞求”；order意为“命令”。

51.C本题考查常用短语辨析。

【应试指导】句意：——彼得，你多久看一次电影哦，一周一次。onceaweek表示频度．对其提问用howoften。howlon9多久，指延续的时间段，答句多有for或since。howsoon多久，多快，指多长时间后才开始某一动作，答句常用in+时间段。howmuch十time很少用。

52.Dcontributeto“为……出一份力”；support，help为及物动词，不符合；benefit常与from搭配。

53.D8．答案为D

food足不可数名词，前面不能用不定冠词。本句为感叹句，whatnice用以修饰food。

54.Ctravel指“旅行”；voyage指“航行”；fly指“飞行，驾驶飞机”；journey指“旅程，路程”或“历程”。所以选C。

55.C本题考查宾语从句。

【应试指导】句意：我们应该尊重食物，想想没有我们所拥有的东西的那些人，认真对待食物：what引导宾语从句，且what在宾语从句中作宾语。

56.D

57.D解析：until意为“直到”，不合题意；while意为“当……时候”，后面应接延续性动词；bythetime一般与过去完成时连用；themoment意为“一……就……”，表时间，在句中引导时间状语从句，故选D。

58.D解析：复数概念作定语且用连字符连接数词与可数名词时，可数名词用单数形式。

59.B

60.A解析：本题考形容词的辨析。conceited意为“自负的”；proud意为“自豪的”；thoughtful意为“深思的”；selfish意为“自私的”。结合句意，故A项正确。本句大意为：这家伙很自负，从来不征求别人的意见。河北省邢台市成考专升本英语学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
