5.Thepresentsituationinabouthalfoftheslatesisthatthegraduated

licensingsystem______.

A.isunderdiscussion

B.isabouttobesetup

C.hasbeenputintoeffect

D.hasbeenperfected

【答案与解析】

1.B文章第一段倒数第二句“thedeathratesforteenagedriversincreased

dramaticallyafter10p.m.”由此可见青年人深夜开车是危险的，B项正

确。而第二句说“a16-year-olddriverwiththreeormorepassengersisthree

times…ateenagerdrivingalone”，可知C项错误，不是adults。

2.C第二段第一句“thehigherdeathratesforteenagedrivers…justalackof

drivingexperience”说明青少年驾车死亡率较高主要是由于缺乏驾驶经

验，故选C。

3.D第二段最后一句“adultswhoareresponsibleforissuinglicensesfailto

recognizehowcomplexandskilledataskdrivingis”，意思是“最根本的问

题是发证机关没有意识到驾驶是一项多么复杂和技术性的工作”，可以

推断发证机关对车祸的发生也有一定责任，因此D项正确。

4.D第四段第一句“thewaytomitigate(使……缓解)theproblemistohave

statesinstituteso-calledgraduatedlicensingsystems”说明驾照系统需要改

进，故选D。

5.C最后一段第二句“havesomesortofgraduatedlicensingsystemin

place”意思就是putintoeffect，故选C。

B.Formalschoolingislessimportantthanjobtraining.

C.On-the-jobtrainingis,inthelongrun,lesscostly.

D.Generalistswilloutdospecialistsinmanagement.

【答案与解析】

6.C第二段最后一句“Largecompanieslike…formaleducationcoupled

withworkexperience”，可知学历和经验兼有的人们在人才市场上占优

势。故选C。

7.B该段第三句句意：工商管理硕士在刚开始进入公司并且得到高一些

的薪水会有作用，但五年以后这个学位的影响力便要不复存在了。由此

可推知MBA虽然可以有更多机会进入公司，但经过一段时间后，在晋

升等各方面这个学位便不再有什么作用，而要看一个人真正的能力。故

B项正确。

8.A根据第三段最后，公司需要“notconstrained”的人，而不是“people

justinspecializeddegrees”。所以A项正确，灵活具有战略性头脑的人们

是市场的需要。

9.A第四段最后“Liberal-artsmeansanacademicallythorough…youcan

feelfreetospecialize”，可以看出“liberal-artspeople”在各个方面都会有涉

猎，而不是只专注于一方面而对其他一无所知，因此他们会很灵活，可

以在不同情况下处理不同的问题。故A项是DavidBirch的原因，B，C，

D均不符合文中意思。

10.D文章的焦点在于对generalists和specialists在工作中哪一种会更有效

更出色进行分析探讨，并得出结论generalists比specialists更灵活更有战

略性。而在“hirefees”“trainingfees”以及“thecomparisonbetweenformal

schoolingandjobtraining”方面，文章并没有讨论。故A，B，C均不正

确。

D.Environmentalpollutantscaninducethesheddingofemotionaltears.

【答案与解析】

11.A第二句“tearsmakeAmericansfeeluncomfortableandembarrassed”，

可知A项正确。

12.C整体看第一段可知，“thoseresponses”指的是前面的“theshedderof

tearsislikelytoapologize和theobserveroftearsistoputanendtothe

emotionaloutpouring”，因此C项正确。

13.Dcounter前缀是“逆，相反的”意思，据文中所写，研究的是“the

linksbetweenillnessandcrying”，可以推测counterproductive是“对身体有

害”的意思，故选D。

14.B第二段最后“cryinghasoneormorefunctionsthatenhance

survival”，可知哭在人类进化生存中起作用，故B项正确。

15.A第四段第一句“thenewstudiessuggestthatemotionaltearsmayplaya

directroleinalleviatingstress”，可知眼泪可以缓和压力，故A项正确。

D.illnesscausingfatigueshouldnotbemistakenforovertrainingsyndrome

【答案与解析】

16.B第一段整体都在讲训练之后的rest对运动员performance的提高。故

B项正确。从第二和第三句话“hardtrainingbreaksyoudown…restthat

makesyoustronger”可知A和C不正确。从第四句话“Improvementonly

occursduringtherestperiod”可知D项也错误。

17.C从第二段中的“imbalancebetweenexcesstrainingandinadequate

rest”可知overtraining意思是过度训练以至于得不到足够的休息，故答案

C正确。

18.D第二段最后一句“Itismarkedbycumulativeexhaustionthatpersists

evenafterrecoveryperiods”，可知过度训练会引起身体的劳累甚至在恢

复期后这种劳累依然存在。故答案D正确。

19.Cleveloff意为：稳定，保持平稳。在此句中应联系与performance的

搭配，以及后面的decrease，因此可猜出，在此句应意为：没有进步，

没有提高。该句句意：如果运动员表现出持续疲惫的状态或者其成绩没

有提高甚至下滑，那么就应该考虑是否有过度训练综合症。

20.D根据最后一句话的意思“把任何潜在的由疾病引起的疲乏排除在

外，这很重要”，可知作者在最后建议区别不同的fatigue，是由illness引

起的还是由overtrainingsyndrome引起的。故选D。

D.Someagentsstopsendinginformationtopeopleoncetheyareemployed.

【答案与解析】

21.C从第一段可知Redmon使用了database里的一个“personalsearch

agent”，将他的个人资料输进去，一个有相关职位的公司就给他了E-

mail，这样他得到了第一份工作。故选C。B项是由公司或雇主方要做的

事情。

22.D第二段最后一句“everytimeyouansweraquestionyoueliminatea

possibility”，可知searchagent缩小了范围，因此成功的机会也会减少。

故选D。

23.D从后面的“consideritareminder”可知，把agent当作tipservice来使

用时，它起的是一个reminder的作用。

24.B第四段第一句“somesitesdesigntheiragentstotemptjobhuntersto

return”可知答案B正确。

25.C最后一段第一句“thosewhoaren’tbuntingforjobsfindsearchagents

worthwhile”，可知对于已经有工作的人searchagents也是有帮助的，故C

项正确。A项说searchagents是不可缺少的，文中没有提到。B项和D项

文中也没有提到。

10.A.noted

B.impressed

C.labeled

D.marked

【答案与解析】

1.Aadmit承认。believe相信。claim要求；主张。predict预测。根据下

文，这里是一个转折关系，他们承认工业化提高了生活水平，但是坚持

认为……，所以选A。

2.B形容人时：average指常人，普通老百姓。plain朴素的；不漂亮的。

mean卑鄙的；吝啬的。normal正常的。

3.Dimmediate立即的，直接的。momentary瞬间的，短暂的。prompt迅

速的，敏捷的。instant立即的，即刻的。本题关键要注意的已知信息点

是后边的一个时间段“duringtheperiodfrom1750to1850”，正是这个时

间段决定了不可能选择momentary，prompt以及instant这三个均表示时间

短的词。而immediate在这里就是要表达工业革命“直接的结果”这个意

思，所以D正确。

4.Athebulkof大部分，多半。ahostof许多。gross总额；毛的，总的。

magnitude大小，数量，一般指巨大，广大，重要程度。

5.Dbycontrast对比起来，相比之下。

6.Dcompletely完全地，强调广义上的全面性。broadly意为“概括性地；

大概地”，与generally意思相近。thoroughly彻底地，强调具体方面、细

节方面的彻底性。generally广泛地，普遍地，概括地。

7.A文章结构表明，文章第二段和第一段内容正好相反。选项所在的句

子又是段落主题句，所以应该选择表示语义转折的关联词。however意

为“然而”，符合上下文的转折语义。meanwhile意为“同时”，表示时间递

进关系。therefore意为“因此”，表示因果关系。moreover意为“此外”，

表示上下文语义递进关系。

8.Bin表示某方面、领域里的专家。句子中specialistsinhistoryand

economics指历史学和经济学家。常用搭配specializein在……有专长。

at，about和for三项都不符合搭配习惯。

9.Cshow意为“说明，表明，证明”，等于prove的意思。manifest意为“清

楚表示，明白显示”，是正式用语。approve赞成，批准；同意，满意。

speculate意为“揣测，推测，设想”，是不及物动词。

10.Dmark标记，有……特征。note记录，写下。impress使铭记，给留

下深刻印象，常用介词搭配on/upon。label为……贴标签；被视为，被

称作。

1.IfIwereinmovie,thenitwouldbeabouttimethatI______myheadin

myhandsforacry.

A.bury

B.amburying

C.buried

D.wouldbury

【答案】C

【解析】Itistime引出的从句用were式虚拟句，即谓语用过去时，表示主

观的看法，意思是“是该做某事的时候了”。故选C。

2.Goodnewswassometimesreleasedprematurely,withtheBritishrecapture

oftheport______halfadaybeforethedefendersactuallysurrendered.

A.toannounce

B.announced

C.announcing

D.wasannounced

【答案】B

【解析】该句为with引导的独立主格结构，后面须接非谓语形式，

recapture和announce是被动的关系，故选B。

3.Accordingtoonebelief,iftruthistobeknownitwillmakeitselfapparent,

soone______waitinsteadofsearchingforit.

A.wouldrather

B.hadto

C.cannotbut

D.hadbest

【答案】D

【解析】hadbest最好。wouldrather宁愿。hadto不得不。cannotbut不能

不，不仅要。

4.Shefeltsuitablyhumblejustasshe______whenhehadfirsttakenagood

lookathercityself,hairwavedandgolden,nailsredandpointed.

A.had

B.hadhad

C.wouldhaveand

D.hashad

【答案】A

【解析】此句主句是Shefeltsuitablyhumble，后面是justas引导的方式状

语从句。justasshehad是justashehadfelt的省略形式，后面是when引

导的时间状语从句说明had(felt)发生的时间。hairwavedandgolden,nails

redandpointed作hercityself的同位语。句意：她感到相当寒酸，就像他
