参考答案

1.D

2.D由第二段内容可知A、B、C三项都是Nigel接近Alicia的手段和方式，故排除；由“Get—tingthethousand—dollarprizewasmoreimportantthananythingelse．NigeldecidedtobefriendAlicia．”得知选D项。

3.C

4.B解析：第一个笔友。

5.A倒数第二段。作者用一系列的例子说明小空间可以保持温度不释放掉。选项A是正确的。

6.C解析：第二段。小石子是帮助消化的，因为鸟没有牙。选项C是正确的。

7.B解析：本题属细节题。文章最后一句已明确点明。

8.A解析：参见最后一段的前三行：我们得知这个商人做广告从来都是成功的，因此他很自信，相信这一次他也一定能成功。

9.D

10.A解析：推断题。B、D是文中直接提到的，又根据第四段第二句的内容判断C的内容不正确。

11.D解析：从第三段作者对“长途乘车中广告太多”所表达的情况看，作者不太喜欢沿途的广告牌。

12.A解析：本题属推理分析题。文章第一句已提示：世界许多的污染是大量人口进入城市造成的。反过来说，如果很少的人进入城市，那么世界污染就会变得不严重了。

13.D文中第二句中指出原因即城市太大，交通太拥挤。

14.C39．答案为C。根据题干找到第二段第二句，It'ssimplybecauseyouhavenotyetdiscoveredthefunitcanbetowrite作出该项选择。

15.C

16.B解析：本文是介绍TakeOurDaughterstoworkDay这样一个特殊的日子的设立及其作用，所以B项为最佳标题。

17.B解析：第一段中有相关交待。

18.D解析：参见第一段。

19.D本题是对细节信息进行综合思考推断能力的考查。题中seems一词暗示考生须根据表层意义推断出隐含意义，或对文章提供的情景进行推理和概括，而不可凭借自己的主观看法去猜测。从最后一段第1句和末句了解到thebaby确为铊中毒，而thepoison则来自一种insecticide(杀虫剂)，恰好与D项的解释一致。故推断出D项是正确的。

20.D解析：参照短文最后一段。

21.C

22.D解析：服务生说的是旅馆的安排，可见史密斯太太没理解服务生的话。

23.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。

24.B参考第一段第二句。

25.D解析：细节题。在第二段中我们可以看到她为了省钱，把儿子送去了一家免费的慈善医院(freechantyhospital)。

26.B解析：第二段。文中提及人口的增长，并说在未来要生产如今产量4倍的食品。可见人口的增长是很严重的。选项B是正确的。其他选项文章未提及。

27.D第三段中写道英国现在的气候太冷不适合鳄鱼居住。

28.D

29.A在第六段中，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。

30.B根据文中第一段第三句，可知LostSea是世界上最大的地下湖泊。

31.C

32.C解析：第1段第4行用到“temperature”，故此处也可此词。

33.D解析：但不管怎么说这是他的主意。

34.B解析：These肯定指的是前面所说的橡胶做的橡胶树。这段是用其他的例子说明，其他的很多东西我们都用的是代用品，橡胶树当然也同样可以。选项B是正确的。

35.C解析：not…or…“不是……或者……”。根撕前半句可知正确答案。

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

37.Dsocialcontacts意为“社交”。

38.C解析：available可利用的，可到达的。

39.A

40.A解析：根据句意，这两位女性作者给读者回信但没有因为此项工作而接受到特殊的培训。故选A，含义是“为了……”。

41.B解析：叙述过去的事情用过去时。一个陌生人问他是不是裁缝的儿子。

42.A解析：Beyond超出。作者认为这条制度太过分了，他应该抗争。选项A是正确的。

43.C解析：本句意思是“让你们来把我不想要的书都收走”。C选项collect的意思是“收集起来”，也有“收回”的意思，最合题意。而A选项gather的意思是“聚拢”。

44.A

45.B

46.B

47.D27．答案为D

本题为词汇题，要求正确选择词义。A爆发，B发展，C赢，D结束。1945年第二次世界大战结束。

48.B因为钉钉子要用锤子，下文也提到售货员拿给他锤子，所以他做出的动作应该是用锤子钉钉子的动作，故应选B项。

49.D本题为词组搭配题。look常和like相连，意为“看上去像……一样”。这里指照片上是一位妇女和一位大约十二岁的小姑娘，小姑娘看上去像是这位妇女的女儿。

50.D

51.B本题考查介词短语辨析。

【应试指导】句意：我的爸爸反对我的建议，然而妈妈赞成。infavourof赞成；inhonourof向……表示敬意；inmemoryof纪念……；insearchof寻找，寻求。

52.B17．答案为B

wassetup意为“建立”，又如putup，establish均为“建立”之意。

53.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。

54.B根据题意应选择"没有耐心"，moveabout是动词短语，about为副词。句中要说明人物是如何耐不住的，常用副词。

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.B解析：本题为词义辨析题。install意为“安装，安置”；devise意为“设计”；format意为“安排……格式”；equip意为“装配”，常和with连用。本句大意为：夏威夷大学的刘易斯.海门设计了一系列新的试验，在这一系列实验中有一些动物学会了理解句子。

57.A

58.B

59.C解析：somewhere为副词，意思是“在某处”。anywhere表示“任何地方”，nowhere表示“无处，什么地方都不”。只有C选项符合句意。

60.B解析：makesb．dosth．。make要求后接不带to的动词不定式，但当它用于被动语态时，则是：bemadetodosth．江苏省扬州市成考专升本英语学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
