7.D

8.C解析：参见第一段第一句。

9.B解析：参见句子：Theaveragehumanbeingcandistinguishmorethan10，000differentodors．

10.A

11.A本文的第一句就提到VoiceFromtheHeart。

13.C

14.A参见句子：Asdidmanyotherboysofhisday，Twaindreamedoftravelingonriverboatsandofsomedaybecomingariverboatpilot．

15.A

17.C

18.C解析：作者都是从正面列举了垃圾的处理方法及其所产生的能量的使用。可以断定作者是赞成这些观点的。选项C是正确的。

19.B

20.C解析：整篇文章描述了两个人的名字的巧合造成许多的麻烦。

21.B解析：细节题。文章最后一句中讲到“unless…wemovetothewidespreaduseofafuellikehydrogen”，这是假设氢燃料的广泛使用，可见氢燃料尚未普遍使用。

22.C解析：第三段。地方组织是由普通人组成的，他们相信大赦国际的工作。

23.C

24.A

25.C解析：第二段首句与C意思相同。

26.D见原文第三段。护士不喜欢这种追踪器。感觉自己整日被人监视。

27.C参见第五段。Hale说今天的人们用得更多的是电子邮件。

28.C54．答案为C。根据第二段第一句，Wecan'tjudgeeverymodernbuildingbythestandardsoftheancienttime，eventhoughweadmiretheancientbuildings作出该项选择。

29.A解析：从“apoorblackmotheronwelfare'’可得出答案应选A。

30.C事实细节题。

31.B解析：通过designingeverything，drawingtheblueprints等等，做了这么多了不起的事情，可以确定B选项great。

32.A33．答案为A

此处测试短语togetalong(well)witheachother的用法，其意为“相互关系很好”。

33.B

34.B解析：据上下文推测应为“判刑以后才发现无罪”。

35.A解析：本题为连接词选择题。whether和or可搭配，作ask的宾语。本句意为：不要问孩子她(他)是否喜欢那种食物。

36.A解析：根据第二段的算法，2000年应该是20世纪的最后一年。选项A是正确的。

37.A解析：quarreling不可数，所以用much修饰，此处也无比较的意思，故不用more。

40.D

41.B解析：如果在不属于自己的书上做标记，就得买下来。

42.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。

43.B解析：hardtime意为“艰难的时刻”；badtime意为“日子不好过”。通常，作者是跟着父亲一道去。但常常父亲连说服学校见他一面的机会都很少，所以，作者也就很少有机会做进校的测试。

44.B解析：户外锻炼，定时饮水，避免晚饭吃得过晚和忧愁，都有助于睡眠。因此31题答案应该是exercises；32题的答案应是名词worry。

45.B解析：本题属固定搭配题。providefor是“给……提供……”的意思。

46.C固定用法题。

【应试指导】本句意思是：有些人睡得少而另一些人睡得多。some…others指“有些……另一些……”，这是英语中常用的固定表达形式。

47.C

48.A解析：尽管他的母亲整日以泪洗面并为他祈祷，他仍不思悔改。mendone’sway表示“改过自新”。

49.D

50.B解析：此题为逻辑思维题。选定是多少年要参考上句中所涉及的两个年份，即1979年和1981年。

51.D15．答案为D

我的家乡不再是曾经的那样了。先行词“theplace”在定语从句中做表语，多用that引导。

52.D从题意判断‘‘音乐声”是“分散(我的注意力)的东西”。distract是动词,distraction是名词。

53.B11．答案为B

他举起胳膊护住脸不被打。protect“保护”，常与from，against连用；protest“抗议”；prevent“防止”；keep“保持”。

54.D7．答案为D

他相信她会成为一个不一般的老师。固定搭配besuperiorto...“比……高级，出众”。

55.A18．答案为A

“让我们走吧，好吗?”史密斯对警官说。以letus开头祈使句的反意疑问句用

willyou，let's开头的用shallwe。

56.D后者是问话，因此词序上应是主谓倒装；问话表示不肯定，同时又强调的是结果：钱包在的地方。因此用不太肯定的might和现在完成时更恰当。我找不着钱包了。你是不是把它落在家里了?

57.A解析：在“require+动名词”这一结构中，动名词有被动之意。

58.D本题考察固定句式too…to…的用法，意思是太……以致不能……。

59.B解析：本题考名词的辨析。hobby意为“(个人的)业余爱好”；habit意为“(个人的)习惯”；custom意为“(国家和民族)长期形成的风俗习惯”；profession意为“职业”。结合句意，故B项正确。本句大意为：别让自己养成坏习惯。

60.D解析：在带情态动词的反意疑问句中，后面的疑问词直接用情态动词后面的词进行否定。甘肃省酒泉市成考专升本英语学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
