句子结构可知，前半部分中的“businessesthatrelyon…parts”与后半部分中的“otherswhorelyonexportingtotherestofworld”之间相互对应，所以答案应与后半部分的export“输出，出口”相对应；import“输入，进口”。故A项importing正确。32、Cultural________meansthatdifferentcivilizationscangetmoreopportunitiesandpathsfordevelopment．A、transitionB、translationC、transmissionD、transaction标准答案：C知识点解析：考查名词辨析。句意：文化传播意味着不同文明可以获得更多的发展机遇和途径。transition“转变，过渡”；translation“翻译，译文”；transactiou“交易，事务”。根据常识可知，文化传播使不同文叫可以获得更多的发展机遇。culturaltransmission为固定搭配，指“文化传播”，故本题选C。33、This________isanappropriaterecognitionandappreciationofherdedicationtothecompany．A、rewordB、awardC、prizeD、remuneration标准答案：B知识点解析：句意：这个奖励是对她为公司所做贡献的适当肯定和赞赏。reword“改写，重说”；award“奖励，奖品”，指一种官方的奖励行为，强调荣誉；prize“奖品，战利品”，多指住各类竞赛、竞争或抽彩中所赢得的奖品；remuneration“报酬，酬劳”，常指正常工资酬劳。这里是指通过为公司做贡献得到的奖赏性质的奖励，不是普通薪酬，也不是通过比赛获得的奖品，A、C、D三项皆与文意不符，故本题选B。34、Motherdidn’tblamehimforthescore，never________mentionedit．A、somuchasB、asC、ratherthanD、than标准答案：A知识点解析：考查同定搭配。句意：母亲并没有因为分数而责备他，甚至都未提及。neversomuchas为固定搭配，指“甚至不……”。后半句与前半句中“母亲并没有因为分数而责备他”为递进关系．所以本题选A。as“因为，依照，如同”，ratherthan“而不是，宁可……也不愿”，than“比，与其……”，皆不符合句意，故排除。35、Moststrawberries________theconsumers，throughdirectsales，thesupermarketoranotherkindofretailtrade．A、keepupwithB、endupwithC、catchupwithD、putupwith标准答案：B知识点解析：考查动词短语辨析。句意：大多数草莓是通过直销、超市或其他形式的零售贸易最终到达消费者手中的。keepupwith“赶上，和……保持联系”；endupwith“以……而结束”；eatchupwith“赶上，追上，逮捕”；putupwith“忍受，容忍”。草莓通过不同的销售方式，最终到达消费者手中，A、C、D三项均与题意不符。故答案为B。36、It’stooriskytogrowsoybeans，andtheincomeisless________thangrowingcorn．Inotherwords，youdon’tlosemoneygrowingcorn．Soybeanyieldsaretoolow．A、productiveB、commonC、rationalD、stable标准答案：D知识点解析：考查形容词辨析。句意：种植大豆风险太高，收入也不如种植玉米稳定。换句话说。你种植玉米不会亏本。大豆产量太低。productive“多产的，富有成效的”；common“共同的，普通的”；rational“合理的，理性的”；stable“稳定的，牢同的”。根据语境可知，题干是在讲述种植大豆的弊端，即风险高，收入不________，产量低。四个选项中，能与income搭配且符合语境的只有D项。故本题选D。37、Scientistssayclimatechangeandhumanactivityhaveincreasinglyledtothemeltingof________piecesofAntarcticice．A、surplusB、quantitativeC、formidableD、massive标准答案：D知识点解析：考查形容词辨析。句意：科学家们说气候变化及人类活动逐渐导致南极冰川大量融化。surplus作形容词表示“剩余的，过剩的”，作名词常表示“顺差，盈余”，tradesurplus“贸易顺差”。其反义词为deficit“赤字，逆差”；quantitative“定量的，数量的”，如quantitativeanalysis／research“定量分析／研究”；formidable“强大的，可怕的，艰难的”massive“大量的”。结合语境，此处强调的是数量之多，故D项符合句意，38、Wenormally________exchangesforallpurchases，butwehavenomoreofthisdesigninstock.A、areofferingB、areofferedC、offerD、haveoffered标准答案：C知识点解析：考查动词的时态和语态。句意：通常情况下，我们对所有已售商品提供换货服务，但是这种款式我们没有存货了。主语we和offer之间为主动关系，故排除B项；根据连接词but可知这里为并列句，逗号前后两个句子的谓语动词时态应是一致的，由have可判断后一句的时态为一般现在时，所以空格处的时态也应是一般现在时。故本题选C。39、Thedecisionto________thecompanywasn’taneasyonetomake，buteveryoneagreedthattherewasnootheroptionbuttoceasetrading.A、displayB、disintegrateC、dissolveD、distribute标准答案：C知识点解析：考查动词辨析。句意：解散公司并不是一个简单的决定，但是每个人都认为除了停止交易没有其他的选择。display“显示，展示”；disintegrate“瓦解，解体”；dissolve“解散(组织或机构)，终止(商业协议)”；distribute“分发，分配”。本题中，dissolvecompany意为“解散公司”，对应后面的ceasetrading。故本题选C。40、Culturemaydomorethanmirrorhistory，________itscitizen’sthinkingandlanguage.A、eveninfluencingB、mayeveninfluenceC、itmayeveninfluenceD、thatitmayeveninfluence标准答案：A知识点解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：文化不仅能反映历史，甚至还会影响人们的思维和语言。前半句成分完整，后半句要么是有连词相连的主句，要么是非限定性定语从句，要么是非谓语动词作状语。B项有谓语动词influence，但是与前半句之间缺少连词，故排除；C项有主语it，也与前半句之间缺少连词，故排除；D项是从句，但是分析题干可知，这个从句放在此处不合适，因为它既不是定语也不是宾语从句，而that不能引导非限定性定语从句，故排除。最后看A项，influence与其逻辑主语culture之间是主动关系，故用现在分词形式，空格及之后成分作状语，故本题选A。41、Thecompanysaysitwillnolongerdesignorlaunchartificialintelligence(AI)forweaponsorothertechnologieswhosemainpurposeistocause________topeople.A、acheB、harmC、painD、injury标准答案：B知识点解析：考查名词辨析。句意：该公司表示将不再设计或推出用于武器或其他技术的人工智能，因为这些武器或技术的主要目的是伤害人类。ache和pain都有“疼，疼痛”的意思，其区别在于ache指人体某一器官较持久的疼痛，常常是隐痛；pain则泛指疼痛，一时的痛；harm和injury都有“伤害，损害”的意思，其区别是harm多指带来悲痛、产生恶果的伤害，用于肉体或精神的伤害均可；injury更强调在事故中受伤，含有受伤害部分至少暂时丧失功能的意味。根据句意可知，B项最符合语境。故本题选B。42、Themuseumcontainsseveral________worksofRenaissanceart，includingtwopaintingsbyRaphael，onebyDurer，onebyTitian，andanearlysketchbyTintoretto.A、
