参考答案

1.A根据第一段的段首句可知应选A项。

2.D本题为细节辨认题。文章第一段中讲到“Theteacherhasbigresponsibilitytomakesurestudentsunderstand．”即：教师有责任让学生理解所讲解的内容。

3.B

4.D解析：第四段中提到，压力常会使人对酒精或毒品有强烈的依赖，以寻求解脱。

5.D解析：参见句子：Hemustconsiderbothprofessionalqualificationsandpersonalcharacteristic．

6.D解析：参见第二段中句子：Whenpeopleseemenorthingsonthetelevisionprogrammewhichtheymayremember,theycantellthepolicewheretheysawthem．

7.D解析：词义题。A项中的“something”和B、C中的“things"均指那未发生在林肯身上而虚构的事。而n项“events指事件。

8.C

9.C45．答案为C

从全文来看，可排除A、B、D，而从第一段Mychildrenmustgetoutofthis可知作者希望改变现状。

10.D文章第四段第四句表明，哥白尼在朋友的建议下出了书。

11.A解析：第二段。相撞之后骑车人受伤。选项A是正确的。

12.D解析：由第一段最后一句和第二段可知。

13.B

14.C解析：文章第一段提到传统观念中，高中生进入大学就意味着可以赚更多的钱，成为更杰出更有责任感的公民，第二段第二句又提到不符合这种模式的大学生越来越多了，所以这里的thosewhodon'tfitthepattern应是指那些进入大学但并未因此变得杰出的高中生。

15.A参见句子：Theypointoutthatatacircus，forexample，wemayseeelephants，monkeys，dogsandotheranimalsdoingquiteskillfulthings．句中they指的就是scientists。

16.B解析：文中“hehasnotforgottenoneofJack’sseventeenbirthdays”即是答案。Jack17年的生日没有忘记一个。由此推断，Jack的每一个生日他都给他寄点什么。

17.C解析：根据本段最后一句可知人们还不能确信所有的恐龙都会照顾它们的后代，由此可判断C项正确。

18.A解析：本题为推理题。第一段中讲到“Thetraditionalwayofgettingridofsolidwastesisquicklybecominginadequate”(传统处理方法是把固体垃圾扔了，这种方法很快就不合时宜了)。由此可推知，传统的方法是把垃圾扔了，认为垃圾是没有价值的。

19.B本题为综合归纳题。文章第一段讲到“Thereare2,400independentschoolsandtheyhavebeengrowinginnumberandpopularitysincethemid-1980s．”即：自从80年代中期以来，已有2400家独立学校，并且在数量上和人口上都保持着增长势头。由此推断，80年代中期以前没有这么多的独立学校，因此应选B。

20.A文中第二段第一句话“TerryFoxwasayoungstudent．．．”给出了答案。

21.D事实细节题。

【应试指导】文章最后一段指出该节目成功的。主要原因是：孩子们看节目是想学并且能够学到知识。

22.C

23.D解析：本题属细节题。文章第四段第六句已明确点明。

24.D解析：第一段。选项A、B、C都与文中所说相反。重量大则密度大，同样大小但未必同样的重量，不同的重量则密度不同。选项D是正确的。

25.A

26.DA、B、C三项都和文章涉及的内容相反。由第一段第二句“Whenpeopletalkaboutit，youcanhearawordinventedinJapan，‘DINKS’，whichmeansDoubleIncomeNoKids．”可得出D项正确。

27.C解析：第二段倒数第二句。到二战结束时，美国人满足了第二个等级，然后第三个等级才出现。第三个等级是对车子和新房子的需求。选项C是正确的。

28.C解析：本题考查的是对细节的把握能力。该题可以从文章第一行Britain'sleadingstate-runEnglishlanguagecenter得出答案。leading的意思足“主要的”，state-run的意思是“国营”。

29.A解析：文章简述了人类的内部感官。选项B是其中的一部分。选项C是作者用来作引子，引起读者的兴趣，并与之比较，从而说明内部感官究竟是什么。选项A是正确的。

30.C解析：本题属细节判断题。文章第二段第一句中的“addition”(增加)已提示答案。

31.D读书的时候你会在自己大脑中建立起图像、思维和观点等，这样就锻炼了你的脑力。而A项understanding“明白”；B项reach“区域，范围”；C项field“田野”，显然脱离了语境，故选D。

32.A警察处理情况也会有危险威胁他们的安全，所以应选safety。

33.A注意写在黑板上的信息。

34.B词组辨析题。

【应试指导】anytime任何时间；bedtime睡觉时间；midnight午夜；lunchtime午饭时间，虽然四个选项都可与at搭配，但本文讲的是睡眠问题，故B项为正确答案。

35.B通篇讲的是电视发生的变化，这里是作者对电视未来的思考，而不是其他的。选项D是正确的。

36.B解析：本题属词选题。后文中的“moreserious”(太严重)与此空相对应。

37.D解析：来自13个国家的311名运动员在许多项目中进行了比赛。

38.A

39.A根据上文内容可知，修车工早就预料到“我”会误入歧途，因此应选A项。

40.A此处指读书，因此用readingabook。而write“写”；edit“编辑”；translate“翻译”，都不合题意和搭配，故选A。

41.A解析：这里是介绍对铁路持反对观点的人的看法，故A项station即“车站”符合题意。

42.D解析：对失去工作的人而言，先做的应是找份工作，在此基础上，才能谈到A选项good，B选项fresh(新鲜的)，以及C选项skilled(有技能的)。D选项new最符合题意。

43.D

44.A从前面所提内容及avoidance：可知，所讲内容应为影响睡眠的因素。故选worry“担忧”。

45.D30．答案为D

根据上下文，comeinto表示“进入意识”，或译为“……答案将开始出现”。

46.C解析：havenoidea没有主意。罪人一点都不知道下一个瞬间他是会被毁灭还是会结婚。

47.B下面是考试的五个步骤。

48.C解析：让孩子选择最“适合”自己的学习方式，suit“适合”，符合题意。

49.D解析：当知道男孩整日闲逛什么事也不做时，承诺给男孩一个店铺让他经营。

50.C解析：readthrough通读，读遍。很少有人都读完。

51.Cas引导的时间状语从句表示“正当……的时候”，表示动作正在进行与主句的动作前后连贯，所以选C。

52.B本题考查倒装句型。

【应试指导】句意：只有到那个时候，她才意识到自己犯了个错误。以“only+状语或状语从句”开头的句子要用倒装结构，即把助动词放在主语前。then意为“那时”，表示过去，所以要用一般过去时。

53.Afavorite为“特别喜爱的”；favorable为“赞成的，有利的”；fayored为“受到优待的，优惠的”；preferred“宁可(选择)”。

54.C本题考查定语从句。+

【应试指导】句意：你兄弟工作的农场在哪里?farm表地点．从句应由where或介词+which引导，A、B两项可排除。“在农场”要用onthefarm，故选C项。

55.A10．答案为A

他仅仅是个三岁的男孩，但他能背诗。固定搭配learn...byheart“背诵……”。

56.D解析：however引导一个让步状语从句。其他三项无此用法。

57.D

58.C解析：本题属词组辨析考查题。getdownto开始、着手，getat够着、触及，getalongwith与某人相处，getover解决、克服。故选C。

59.lengthen

60.D解析：本题为关联词选择题。assoonas意为“一……就……”；while意为“当……时”；as意为“当……时”；once意为“一旦……就”。本句大意为：一旦开好了头，事情就成功了一半。湖南省益阳市成考专升本英语学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
