年以来德国东北海岸遭遇的最严重的风暴。由句意可知，货船在风暴

蛋来自该货船，因此本空应填入含有“猜测，怀疑”意义的动词，由

此确定答案为C)suspect。备选的其他动词均没有此含义，因此排除。

6.[C5]

【正确答案】I

均没有此含义，因此排除。

9.[C8]

【正确答案】H

【试题解析】空格前有不定冠词a和形容词huge,因此本空应填入名

词。空格所在句的意思是：但后来我们意识到，这最终会是一个巨大

的o本句中的but说明与前一句构成转折，前一句是对冲上

小岛的玩具蛋的正面评价，因此本句是负面评价，所以本空应填入含

应填入动词作谓语。空格所在句的意思是：它们一一来自远方的消

息。本句中They指的是前一句的alltheselittleeggs,由句意可

知，这些玩具蛋里包含着来自远方的消息，因此本空应填入含有“包

含，含有”意义的动词，由此确定答案为N)boreobore的原形是

除。

cceptable.

【正确答案】H

看法，一定要知道，当今社会有很大一部分人很讨厌连字符姓氏。题

干中的manypeopletoday是对定位句中

winsolutionshouldargumentsariseaboutwhatnametoadoptuponm

arriage.

一定程度上是一种双“赢"的方式。题干中的awin-winsolution和

argumentsariseaboutwhatnametoadoptuponmarriage分另U对应定

位句中的awayforeachpersonto…"win"和theargument,故答案

17.Itusedtobeconsideredsociallyunacceptableforabridetore

tainhermaidenname.

【正确答案】B

【试题解析】细节归纳题。定位句指出，在以前，新娘只需按照传统

henewlywedstrulyloveeachother.

生。题干中的Nomatterwhatnamethebrideadopts是对定位句

whetheryoueachkeepyournames,

whetheryoucomeupwithanentirelynewnameforthetwoofyoutos

hareorwhetheryouhyphenateyourcurrentlastnames的总结。题干

中的itismostimportant对应定位句中的whatmatters,题干中的

loveeachother在定位句中直接出现，故答案为L）。

21.Legallyspeaking,thebrideisfreetochoosewhatevernameshe

prefers.

【正确答案】F

【试题解析】细节归纳题。定位句指出，保留自己的姓氏，同时通过

连字符将自己的姓氏和丈夫的姓氏合并在一起，这在法律上和简单地

采用丈夫的姓氏或保留自己的姓氏、完全忽略夫姓一样，都是合法

的。题干是对定位句内容的总结概括，故答案为F）。

导者有时会犯别人不会犯的错误，尤其是在需要常识的情况下。换言

之，最聪明的人有时候会在一些简单的情况下犯错误，故答案为A)。

blindspots?

(A)Theirirrationalwayofthinking.

(B)Toomuchfaithintheirabilitytothink.

(C)Theirignoranceofbehaviouralscience.

(D)Toomuchconcernabouttheirwork.

【正确答案】B

【试题解析】细节辨认题。定位句提到，这些盲点之所以存在，是因

为聪明人往往对自己的推理能力过于自信。由此可知，过于相信自己

的思考能力导致了聪明人逻辑盲点的存在，故答案为B)。

24.Howdosmartpeoplereactwhentheyarefoundtobewrong?

(A)Theyshifttheblametoothers.

(B)Theygraciouslyacceptthefacts.

(C)Theymayfeelshocked.

(D)Theymaygetoffended.

资格给他们提供有用的反馈。这种倾向不仅会阻碍他们的成长和表

现，还会对各种关系造成伤害，包括个人关系和职业关系。换言之，

案为A)。

pie?

(B)Theysethighergoalsforthemselves.

(C)Theyareunderincreasingpressure.

(D)Theytakelesstimetogetthingsdone.

【正确答案】C

【试题解析】推理判断题。最后一段指出，聪明的人会发展出一味追

求成功的性格，因为事情对他们来说很容易。他们把别人逼得很紧，

把标准定得很高。当别人花了太长时间或没有把事情做好时，他们会

认为这是因为不够努力。所以他们逼得更紧了。由此可以推知，对于

那些和一味追求成功的人一起工作，或在这样的人手下工作的人而

言，他们面临着越来越大的压力。故答案为C)。

【试题解析】主旨大意题。新闻开头指出，非洲领导人计划把非洲大

陆变成一个没有边界的大陆，他们将引入单一护照政策，允许各国之

间自由通行。下文中提到，非洲联盟希望废除非洲人访问其他非洲国

家的签证要求。由此可知，新闻围绕一项能使非洲人无须签证即可在

非洲各国之间旅行的政策展开。因此，答案为A)。
