SectionB:Therearemorethantwelveerrorsinthegivenpassage.Youare

expectedtofindouttenofthemendwritedownthecorrectansweraswellas

thedetectederrorsontheAnswerSheet.

【答案与解析】

21.which→inwhich/where

（whichphoenixesandunicornsarequiteasimportantashorsesanddogs这

个从句是修饰先行词world的，且world在从句中作地点状语，故应用in

which或将which改为where。）

22.talks→talk

（该句主语为someofthehorses，为复数，故谓语动词应为单数形式。）

23.called→calling

（句意：随便举一个例子就是，莎士比亚被叫做“艾冯河的诗人”。句子

主语是example，如果用called则表示“例子被称为……”，这里应该是call

Shakespeare…，“把莎士比亚叫做…”存在主动逻辑关系，故用

calling。）

24.their→its

（句意：斯特拉特福德镇的河里一直饲养着天鹅，有一部分原因是保留

文学典故。河指的是这个镇的河，故用its。）

25.are→were

（本句讲的是莎士比亚那个时代的诗人，应该用一般过去时。）

26.produced→producing

（前一句说那些诗人不愿意承认他们是在写作，该句说他们坚持说是在

创作音乐。所以produce的形式应与前一句werewriting保持一致，用过

去进行时。）

27.depended→depending

（depend作为本句中的非谓语动词，与主语everyotherkindofpoeticeffort

是主动关系，故用ing形式。）

28.they→it

（本句指的是天鹅不会唱歌，指代的是前一句中的theswan。the＋可数

名词单数可表示一类事物，此处指的就是天鹅这一种动物，代词用it即

可。）

29.their→its

（前面用的是itsang，所以本处要用its与之对应。）

30.kinds→kind

（主语为it，所以后面kind应为单数形式。）

B.thirty-fiveyears

C.twentyyears

D.thirtyyears

【答案与解析】

31.Bupsanddowns表示盛衰、起伏。此处指每对情侣在交往过程中经

历的快乐与不快乐的事情。故选B。

32.C由题干中的racialandculturaldifferences定位到第二段首句Our

racialandculturaldifferencesenhancedourrelationshipandtaughtusagreat

dealabouttolerance,compromise,andbeingopenwitheachother，由此可

知，他们从种族和文化差异中学会了忍耐、妥协与坦诚相对。C项“自

信”并未提到。

33.A由第三段末句Thecontinualsourceofourstrengthwasourmutual

trustandrespect，可直接得出答案。

34.B由最后一段末句Gail’sparents,afterthirty-fiveyearsofmarriage,

weregoingthroughabitterandpainfuldivorce，可知Gail父母的婚姻维持

了35年。

C.becausetheypreventonefromprotectinghimselfagainsttheeffectsof

D.becausetheypreventonefromfindingouttheadvantagesofother

countries

【答案与解析】

35.A综合第一段内容可知，在“蜜月”阶段，你会对异域文化感到兴

奋，喜欢那里的一切，感觉每个人都很友好，生活十分快乐。所以A项

符合文意。

36.D根据第三段首句Usuallyatthispointinyouradjustmenttoanew

culture,youdevisesomedefensemechanismstohelpyoucopeandtoprotect

yourselfagainsttheeffectsofcultureshock，可知到第二阶段，你会想出

一些保护自己免受文化冲击影响的防守办法。故选D。

37.B文章最后一段指出了四种防守办法repression、regression、

isolation、rejection，故A、C、D三项正确，B项错误。

38.A作者在讲到第三种方法“isolation”时，说到Isolationisoneofthe

worstcopingmechanismsyoucanusebecauseitseparatesyoufromthose

thingsthatcouldreallyhelpyou，可以看出作者认为将自己与外界隔绝开

不是个好办法，因为会阻碍你得到帮助。所以要谨慎地运用这些防守办

法。A项“因为可能会阻碍你调整自我适应新文化”符合文意。

【答案与解析】

39.B根据第三段第一句ThisissuewasdefinedseveralyearsagobyWalter

Lippmann…theymustbeindependenttheymustbedisinterested，可知

Lippmann认为大学应独立于社会。故选B。

40.D第四段讲的是和Lippmann观点相反的另一方的观点：大学承载着

我们的理想和道德追求，不该置身事外。而且Lippmann在第三段中谈到

大学应独立于社会，不应受到政治和私人利益的控制，可推断出另一方

认为大学应该积极参与到社会问题的解决当中。故选D。

41.C由第一段首句Oneofthemostinterestingparadoxes...auniversity

shouldbe,andwhetheritismeasuringup可知，paradox指的是哈佛大学作

为美国最古老的高等院校，如今竟在讨论大学的功能及哈佛是否符合理

想大学的标准。也就是说作者认为哈佛作为一所历史悠久的名校本应清

楚地明白大学的功能，但如今却对此展开了严肃的讨论。所以推断出

paradox的意思是“自相矛盾之处，悖论”。

42.C由最后一段内容可知，如今的哈佛人对他们的政治目标、学习目

标等感到不确定与困惑，内心很挣扎。哈佛人对于大学应独立于社会还

是积极参与政治和社会变革的讨论的结果将会影响美国的大学和政治生

活。这说明讨论还没有最终定论。故选C。

D.livingbytheclockinourmodernlifecouldbefatal

【答案与解析】

43.B根据第二段中AftertwentyminutesIhavetomakeafullandserious

apology可知如果会面时迟到20分钟的话就必须做出严肃、完整的道

歉。故选B。

44.A根据第三段第二、三句Anthropologistslistthetoughestthingsto

copewithinaforeignland.Secondonlytolanguageisthewaywedealwith

time，在国外生活第一大障碍是语言，第二大障碍是时间观念的差异。

故选A。

45.D根据文章倒数第二段AmongAmericancities…slowestpaceofallis

keptinLosAngeles可知，在美国所有城市当中，洛杉矶市的生活节奏最

慢，加利福尼亚州的居民喜欢把事情推延又是众所周知的。再加上洛杉

矶是加利福尼亚州下辖城市，所以D项“加州人生活节奏可能比美国其他

州慢”是正确的。

46.C文章最后一段说到吸烟是导致心脏病的最主要原因，但其实患心

脏病也与生活节奏有关。所以可以推断作者认为生活节奏快对身体健康

是不利的，我们的生活不应该完全受时间掌控。C项符合文意。

【答案与解析】

47.D由最后一段前四句可知，电影制作人不应该为了担心观众感到无

聊就不展示影片细节，不应该因为情景寂静就加入背景音乐。不能为了

去吸引观众就插入一些与主题不太相关的情节。艺术片就应该展现其本

真的面貌。D项符合文意。

48.C结合整个文章可以看出重点讲的是艺术片如何能给观众带来全新

的对于世界的认知。所以C正确。

49.A第一二段提出如今艺术片效果不佳，未能给观众带来新的对于世

界的认知。第三段提出出现这种问题的原因，其中之一是艺术家与电影

制作人没有形成良好的合作。第四段提出电影制作人、艺术家分别怎么

做才能解决这一问题。故A项正确。

50.A综合第一二三四段的内容：第一二段提出如今艺术片效果不佳，

未能给观众带来新的对于世界的认知。第三段提出出现这种问题的原
