大学英语（A）模拟试卷答案与讲解Test4SectionⅠ:Readingcomprehension[30points]Part1:(15points,3pointsforeachitem)1.【答案】C。【解析】文章开头讲述一个芬兰老妇人并不知道她所使用的新技术到底有怎样的功能，旨在论述第二段提出的论点：Whenitcomestonewmobileapplications,manyofusdonotrealizethecapabilityandpowerthatwehold,literally,inhourhands.，这正是选项C的内容。2.【答案】D。【解析】该句意思是，既然因特网的使用已经渗透到（充满）社会的各个方面，不管用户是在家或在公司里，那么下一个合理的举措就是在离开台式电脑或笔记本电脑时还可以访问因特网。所以选D。3.【答案】C。【解析】根据第四段中WAPissupportedbymajorphonecompanies可见主要厂商是支持协议而不是制定协议，因此A不对。由于muchlikeHTMLwhichisameansofcommunicatingontheInternet得知，WAP和HTML是相似的关系，而不是替代的关系，所以选项B不对。选项C为正确答案，因为第四段最后一句是说，它是一种传输信息的手段，是因特网上一种交流的手段。而选项D错在WAP不仅能传递语音文件，也能传递其他音频文件。4.【答案】B。【解析】第三段指出，下一个合理的举措就是在离开台式电脑或笔记本电脑时还可以访问因特网；第四段开头又介绍说，无线设备的热门技术叫“无线应用协议”，由此可推断mobileInternet是指不需要有线设备就可以上网，这正是选项B的内容。5.【答案】C。【解析】尽管第五段提出了目前移动因特网的缺点，第六段开头作者就指出，这些技术的目的是使我们的生活变得更简单，然后讲述了将来这种技术如何使酒店预订变得十分简单。由此可见，作者对于移动因特网的前途是十分乐观的。Part2:(15points,3pointsforeachitem)6.【答案】A。【解析】从第一段的第一句：CastleswerebroughttoBritainbyWilliamtheconqueror,whenheinvadedEnglandin1066fromhishomelandinFrance可以看出正确答案是A。7.【答案】A。【解析】从第一段的最后一句和第二段的第一句：simplycastles,calledmotteandbaileycastles.Theseearlycastlesconsistedofanearthenmound,可以看出正确答案是A。8.【答案】D。【解析】第三段提到了导致castlebooming的原因有A，B，C，只有D没有提到。9.【答案】C。【解析】从第四段的第三句Therewaslessemphasisplacedondefenseandmoreoncomfort，可以看出thedeclineofthecastleswasmainlyduetothefactthattheyarelesscomfortable，因此正确答案是C。10.【答案】D。【解析】从文中的倒数第二句thecastlesofBritainhaveestablishedthemselvesfirmlyinthenationalandinternationalmindset.可以得到正确答案是D。SectionⅡ:VocabularyandGrammar[40points]Part1:(20points,2pointsforeachitem)11.【答案】A。【解析】句意：我赶到非常迷惑，Steve工作非常努力，却打算辞掉这份工作。diligently勤奋地；frequently常常；unwillingly不愿意；casually偶然的。12.【答案】D。【解析】句意：约翰建议等找到更多的证据后再谈这件事情。考点：suggestdoing。13.【答案】B。【解析】句意：约翰松夫人不愿在我面前谈这件事。考点：wouldlike/hadbetterdo。14.【答案】D。【解析】句意：我们不喜欢蔬菜的这种味道。flour面粉；favor好感；fable寓言；flavor：风味。15.【答案】B。【解析】句意：新的出纳员直到老板作了解释，才知道如何使用计算器。amountto：总计；figureout：领会；addupto：合计达；consultwith：商量。16.【答案】C。【解析】句意：对大多数人来说，记住一首长诗要花费相当的精力。考点：词语辨析。considerate体谅；considerable：大量的，相当的。17.【答案】B。【解析】句意：你确定这是祖父在他信中表达的意思吗？考点：表语从句。18.【答案】C。【解析】句意：既然我的头脑清醒了，我的大脑也开始正常运转起来。考点：词语搭配。nowthat既然。19.【答案】D。【解析】句意：汤姆和他的妻子都爱看电视。考点：主谓一致原则中就近原则。20.【答案】A。【解析】句意：一听说过了考试，男孩非常高兴。因为是passexamination，B，C用的是pass的被动语态，因此不正确。D中的topass与前面的搭配不对。Part2:(20points,2pointsforeachitem)21.【答案】C。【解析】词语搭配：from…to从…到。22.【答案】C。【解析】词语搭配：keepto遵循。23.【答案】D。【解析】positive积极的，主动的，与和后一个句之中negative说明正反两种现象。24.【答案】B。【解析】knowhowto怎样做。25.【答案】A。【解析】crucial关键性的；necessary必须的；possible可能的；classical古典的。26.【答案】C。【解析】上下文的人称代词的应用。27.【答案】A。【解析】词语辨析。despair名词绝望；desire渴望；decision决定；desperate绝望的。28.【答案】D。【解析】词语辨析：receive（没有选择）接受；accept（选择的）接受。29.【答案】C。【解析】是根据句意，该句考核的是“被动语态”及“avoiddoing”结构。30.【答案】A。【解析】根据上下文，这里需要副词。SectionⅢ:Translation[15points]31.Goodsproducedbybigfactoriesaretakingtheplaceofthosebysmallworkshops.考查词组taketheplaceof的用法。32.Morethantencomputershavebeenstolensincethecompanymovedtothisarea,sothecompanydecidedtotakeactionstostopit.此句需要使用现在完成时被动形式。SectionⅣ:Writing[20points]CarsandAirPollutionToomanycarshavecreat
