(1).[Bl](分数:2.00)

A.when

B.why

C.how

D.whatJ

解析:解析:本题考查特殊疑问词用法。文章首句点明此选段主要内容,指出“即便没有血缘关系,朋友

之间就像第四代表亲一样,约有1%的基因相同。”该题的选项全是特殊疑问词,when通常用来询问时间;

why用来提问“为什么”;how则是询问“……怎么样”。在本题复合句中,what做关联词引导疑问分句,

并且在句子中担任宾语,表示“研究得出的结果”。

(2).[B2](分数:2.00)

A.defended

B.concludedV

C.withdrawn

D.advised

解析:解析:本题考查动词用法。该选项所在句的主干是Thatiswhatastudyhas_句子中间的

publishedfromthe…ofsciences是用来修饰astudy的后置定语。选项defend意为"辩护;防护;保

卫";conclude意为“推断;决定,作结论";withdraw意为“取出;撤退";advise意为“建议:劝

告”。而与名词study的惯用搭配即是“研究得出什么结论”。

(3).[B3](分数:2.00)

A.for

B.with

C.onJ

D.by

解析:解析:本题考杳固定搭配。动词短语conducton为固定搭配,译为“对……进行研究”,在此句中

表示“对1932位独立的个体进行研究”。

(4).[B4](分数:2.00)

A.comparedJ

B.sought

C.separated

D.connected

解析:解析:本题考查动词用法。Compare主要意为“比较;对照;与……比较起来”;seek则是“寻找;

搜索”;separate是“使分离;使分开";connect是“连接;联合”。该空格后出现线索词pairs,可

推测此处应是表达“将无关的朋友组和无关的陌生人组进行对照基因组分析”。

(5).[B5](分数:2.00)

A.tests

B.objects

C.samplesJ

D.examples

解析:解析:本题考查名词用法。Test意为“试验;检验":object意为“对象;目标;物体":sample

意为“样本;例子”;ex—ample意为“例子;榜样”。此句应是表达“所有实验个体都会被重新分在不

同对照组进行分析"。而sample所表示的“样本”指的是其他的都与这个“样本”在质量、性质和设计上

相同;example所对比的通常是作为有典型的、能说明问题的、有代表性的例子。

(6).[B6](分数:2.00)

A.insignificantJ

B.unexpected

C.unreliable

D.incredible

解析:解析:本题考查形容词用法。选项中unbelievable和incredible均表示“难以置信的;不可思议

的":insignificant意为“无关紧要的";unexpected意为“意外的;想不到的“。而此处,句意表达

的是“1%的共享基因看似无关紧要,而对一位遗传学者却意义非凡”。

(7).[B7](分数:2.00)

A.visit

B.miss

C.seek

D.knowJ

解析:解析:本题考查前后转折逻辑关系。四个选项均是常见单词,在此处主要考查学生的语感。线索词

是fourthcousins,在错综复杂的人际交往中,第四代表亲可以说,彼此亲戚关系已经很远了,故判断此

处应是“不认识”。

(8).[B8](分数:2.00)

A.resembleJ

B.influence

C.favor

D.surpass

解析:解析:本题考查动词用法。Resemble意为“类似,像";influence意为“影响;改变";favor

意为“赞成;喜欢";surpass意为“超越;胜过,优于”。显然,选项填入后,应切合文章主题“朋友

间约1%基因相同”,故此处应是指出“但不知何故,选择的朋友就像我们的亲戚”。

(9).[B9](分数:2.00)

A.again

B.alsoJ

C.instead

D.thus

解析:解析:本题考查副词用法。Again表示“又,此外;再一次”。一般用于表示几个主语共同一个谓

宾,或一个主谓多个宾语;also表示“也;而且",一般是指动作(谓语)重复、反复进行;instead表示

“代替;反而",表转折;thus表示“因此;从而”,表因果。显然,此处欲表达的是“研究还发现……”。

(10).[B10](分数:2.00)

A.Meanwhile

B.Furthermore

C.Likewise

D.PerhapsJ

解析:解析:本题考杳副词用法。Meanwhile意为“同时,其间”,表示并列连接,通常含有递进的意思;

furthermore意为“此外;而且“,属于进一步说明,后面与前面所涉及的内容更近一步;1ikewise意为

“同样地;也”,与前述内容承接;perhaps意为“或许:也许",表示不确定的推测。此处前文并没有

给出其它原因,判断应仅是推测。

(11).[B11](分数:2.00)

A.about

B.toJ

C.from

D.like

解析:解析:本题考查介词用法。句子意思是“就像这个科研团队所发现的,这个因素不仅把我们带到相

似的环境中来,更有一些深层次的影响。”前后对应,故选B项。

(12).[B12](分数:2.00)

A.driveJ

B.observe

C.confuse

D.limit

解析:解析:本题考查动词用法。Drive为“推动;驱使";observe为“观察;遵守";confuse为“使

混乱;使困惑”;limit为“限制;限定”。将四选项依次代入,可以断定A选项正确,意为“可能有很

多机制共同作用,驱使我们选择基因相似的朋友”。

(13).[B13](分数:2.00)

A.accordingto

B.ratherthanJ

C.regardlessof

D.alongwith

解析:解析:本题考查介系词用法。Accordingto主要用来表示“根据”某学说、某文件、某人所说等或

表示“按照”某法律、某规定、某惯例、某情况等;ratherthan是一个并列连词,不与would连用时,

表示客观事实,意为“是……而不是……;与其……不如……";regardlessof为“不管:不顾”,一

般用于客观上无法避免的事实,往往是不利的条件,因素;alongwith意为"和……一起”时,经常考察

主谓•致,意为"(除…外)又……;加之”,在这里是包括某事物的。此处文章显然考的是ratherthan,

表示“而不是以功能性的亲戚关系作为选友基准”。

(14).[B14](分数:2.00)

A.chances

B.responses

C.missions

D.benefitsV

解析:解析:本题考查名词用法。短语with_是用来修饰名词短语functionalKinship的,因此可

判断选项benefits与functional前后对应。

(15).LB15](分数:2.00)

A.later

B.s1ower

C.fasterJ

D.earlier

解析:解析:本题考查形容词用法。此处句意可以理解为“研究中,其中的一个显著发现是相似基因好像

比其他基因进化……”,再根据下文中出现的关键词pickedpace,“步子快;发展迅速”,可判断正确

答案为C选项。

(16).[B16](分数:2.00)

A.forecast

B.remember

C.understandJ

D.express

解析:解析:本题考查动词用法。Forecast意为“预报,预测“;remember意为“记得;牢记;纪念”;

understand意为“理解;懂:获悉;推断“:express意为“表达;快递”。显然,所有研究的目的都是

为了解疑答惑,再根据线索词why,可以判断C选项为正确答案。

(17).[B17](分数:2.00)

A.unpredictable

B.contributoryJ

C.controllable

D.disruptive

解析:解析:本题考查形容词用法。Unpredictable意为“不可预知的;不定的";contributory意为“捐

助的;贡献的;有助于……的";controllable意为“可控制的;可管理的";disruptive意为“破坏的;

分裂性的”。此处的with复合结构是句子的伴随状语,所表示的状态是与谓语动词同时发生的,因此判断

此处欲表达的是“社会环境在过去3万年的人类快速进化过程中起着不可或缺的作用”。

(18).[B18](分数:2.00)

A.endeavor

B.decision

C.arrangement

D.tendencyJ

解析:解析:本题考查名词用法。Endeavor意为“努力;尽力“;decision意为“决定,决心”;arrangement

意为“布置;整理;准备":tendency意为“倾向,趋势:癖好”。将四个选项依次代人,显然D选项更

为合适,意为“倾向于和那些拥有相同……背景的人做朋友”,不可能是“努力做朋友”、“下定决心做

朋友”或者“准备好去做朋友”。

(19).[B19](分数:2.00)

A.political

B.religious

C.ethnicV

D.economic

解析:解析:本题考查形容词用法。Political意为“政治的;党派的";religious意为“宗教的;虔诚

的";ethnic意为“种族的;人种的";economic意为“经济的,经济上的”。根据下文中出现的allthe

subjectsweredrawnfromapopuIationofEuropeanextraction,判断此处应是指“拥有相同的种族

背景”。

(20).[B20](分数:2.00)

A.seeV

B.show

C.prove

D.tell

解析:解析:本题考查动词用法。sthbetakentosee是固定搭配,意为“采取……来看……”,在此

处的意思是“仍然倍加小心来保证……”。

(1).Accordingtothefirsttwoparagraphs,KingJuanCarlosofSpain(分数:2.00)

A.usedtoenjoyhighpublicsupport.

B.wasunpopularamongEuropeanroyals.

C.easedhisrelationshipwithhisrivals.

D.endedhisreigninembarrassment.J

解析:解析:本题属于细节题。首先根据题干关键饲KingJuancarlosofSpain定位至文章首段。文中

第二句指出:“Buiembarrassingscandals…haveforcedhimtoeathiswordsandstanddownn,

故D选项正确。

(2).MonarchsarekeptasheadsofstateinEuropemostly(分数:2.00)

A.owingtotheirundoubtedandrespectablestatus.J

B.toachieveabalancebetweentraditionandreality.

C.togivevotersmorepublicfigurestolookupto.

D.duetotheireverlastingpoliticalembodiment.

解析:解析:木题属于细节题。根据出题顺序,定位答案应是在文章三到四段。其中,第三段末句提到:

“但是不像他们在亚洲和海湾地区的专制主义者同行,大多在欧洲的王室延续下来的原因是他们可以让选

民免于到处寻找毫无争议的但同时受人尊重的社会名人。”故A选项为正确答案。

(3).Whichofthefollowingisshowntobeodd,accordingtoParagraph4?(分数:2.00)

A.Aristocrats“excessiverelianceoninheritedwealth.

B.Theroleofthenobilityinmodemdemocracies.V

C.Thesimplelifestyleofthearistocraticfamilies.

D.Thenobilityz/sadherencetotheirprivileges.

解析:解析:本题属于词义推测题。首先题干给出答案位置信息第四段,关键词是Odd。浏览发现,该段

末句出现生词bizarre,该句原意是“当ThomasPiketty和其他经济学家对越来越多的不平等和不断增长

的财产继承提出警告时,富裕的贵族们竟然仍是现代民主国家的象征中心,这种现象是……”,很明显,

这种现象是奇怪的(贵族特权与民主国家),故B选项“贵族在现代民主国家的角色定位”为正确答案。

(4).TheBritishroyals"havemosttofear"becauseCharles(分数:2.00)

A.takesatough1ineonpoliticalissues.

B.failstochangehislifestyleasadvised.

C.takesrepublicansashispotentialallies.

D.failstoadapthimselftohisfuturerole.J

解析:解析:本题属于细节题。根据题干线索词havemosttofear以及人名Charles定位至文章六、七

段。其中,第六段后半句指出“英国皇室对西班牙皇室的落败最心有余悸”;第七段第二句接着指出

“Cha门es的处境将会很危险,因为他不但生活方式奢侈而且等级制度思想深刻”,也就是Charles没有

适应现代社会的生活方式。

(5).Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitleofthetext?(分数:2.00)

A.Carlos,GloryandDisgraceCombined

B.Charles,AnxioustoSucceedtotheThrone

C.Carlos,aLessonforAllEuropeanMonarchsV

D.Charles,SlowtoReacttotheComingThreats

解析:解析:本题属于主旨要义题。文章主要讨论了西班牙胡安•卡洛斯国王退位这一事件对欧洲诸多皇

室的影响,尤其是对英国皇室的影响。最终提出,君主领导者要改变原有的思想和行为方式,和现代社会

的生活方式接轨,才能保证受到长久的尊崇与荣耀。故选C项。

A.preventsuspectsfromdeletingtheirphonecontents.

B.searchforsuspects*mobilephoneswithoutawarrant.

C.checksuspects"phonecontentswithoutbeingauthorized.J

D.prohibitsuspectsfromusingtheirmobilephones.

解析:解析:本题属于细节题。根据出题顺序及题干中关键词SupremeCourt,whether定位至文章首段。

该段第二句提到“最高法院考虑到是否警察在没有批准令的情况下,在逮捕过程中可以搜查嫌疑人身上或

旁边的手机信息”。故C选项正确。

(2).Theauthor'sattitudetowardCalifornia'sargumentisoneof(分数:2.00)

A.disapproval.J

B.indifference.

C.tolerance.

D.cautiousness.

解析:解析:本题属于观点态度题。根据题干关键词California'sargument定位到第二、三、四段。这

些句子中提到hard…recklesslymodest…等负向词,表达的是负面态度。另外,第四段首句给出作者明

确态度”theyshouldstartbydiscardingCalifornia,slameargument…”。

(3).Theauthorbelievesthatexploringone“sphonecontentsiscomparableto(分数:2.00)

A.gettingintoone'sresidence.V

B.handlingone〃shistoricalrecords.

C.scanningone'scorrespondences.

D.goingthroughone'swallet.

解析:解析:本题属于细节题。根据题干关键词exploringone'sphonecontents定位至文章第四段。

其中该段第三句提到aButexploringone'ssmartphoneismorelikeenteringhisorherhomeff,

正好与A选项对应。注意C选项提到内容不是作者观点。

(4).InParagraphs5and6,theauthorshowshisconcernthat(分数:2.00)

A.principlesarehardtobeclearlyexpressed.

B.thecourtisgivingpolicelessroomforaction.

C.citizens"privacyisnoteffectivelyprotected.V

D.phonesareusedtostoresensitiveinformation.

解析:解析:本题属于推断题。首先根据题干定位至第五、六段。其中,第五段首句为中心句提到“美国

人应该采取措施保护数据隐私”;第六段则接着提到现有搜查原则的不当之处。题干问的是作者最关注什

么问题,显然根据这两段内容,可以推断C选项“市民隐私未能得到有效保护”为正确答案。

(5).OrinKerriscomparisonisquotedtoindicatethat(分数:2.00)

A.theConstitutionshouldbeimplementedflexibly.

B.newtechnologyrequiresreinterpretationoftheConstitution.J

C.California'sargumentviolatesprinciplesoftheConstitution.

D.principlesoftheConstitutionshouldneverbealtered.

解析:解析:本题属于举例论证题。根据题干关键词OrinKer/scomparison定位至文章末段。解答此类

题时需注意,举例是为了论证论点,论点通常在论据的前面,所以要找例子前面的一句话。此处论点也就

是New,disruptivetechnologysometimesdemandsnovelapplicationsoftheConstitution's

protectionso故B选项正确。

A.Scienceintendstosimplifyitspeer-reviewprocess.

B.journalsarestrengtheningtheirstatisticalchecks.V

C.fewjournalsareblamedformistakesindataanalysis.

D.lackofdataanalysisiscommoninresearchprojects.

解析:解析:本题属于细节题。根据题干所给提示定位答案于第一段。其中,该段首句提到“Thejournal…is

addinganextraroundofstatisticalcheckstoitspeer——reviewprogress”,句中的addinganextra

roundofstatisticalchecks对应C选项中的strengtheningtheirstatisticalchecks,故B选项正

确。

(2).Thephraseflaggedup〃(Para.2)istheclosestinmeaningto(分数:2.00)

A.found.

B.marked.J

C.revised.

D.stored.

解析:解析:本题属于词义推测题。解答此类题要根据所猜词汇所在句子的语意,进而依次代人选项,结

合文章主题(或段落中心)进行判断。短语flaggedup所在句子语意是:手稿将被flaggedup以供期刊内

部编辑人员、或者现有的审稿编委会、或是外部同行审查。代人选项,B选项最为合适。

(3).GiovanniParmigianibelievesthattheestablishmentoftheSBoREmay(分数:2.00)

A.poseathreattoallitspeers.

B.meetwithstrongopposition.

C.increaseScience'scirculation.

D.setanexampleforotherjournals.J

解析:解析:本题属于细节题。根据题干人名GiovanniParmigiani定位答案至第四段。该段最后两句提

到,“他相信SBoRE的建立可能会产生很大的影响,不仅会对《科学》杂志本身的出版物有影响,还有望

影响其它较大一批可能想要模仿《科学》杂志做法的出版社。”故D选项正确。

(4).DavidVauxholdsthatwhatScienceisdoingnow(分数:2.00)

A.addstoresearchers'7work1oad.

B.diminishestheroleofreviewers.

C.hasroomforfurtherimprovement.J

D.istofailintheforeseeablefuture.

解析:解析:本题属于推断题。根据题干人名DavidVaux和关键词whatScienceisdoing定位至末段最

后一句。该句提到Science'sidea…hassomemerit,butaweaknessisthat***,意思是“有优点,但

是缺陷在于将本该首先进行详细审查的文件交给审核编委会鉴定”,故四个选项中,推断C选项“(说明这

个想法)是有进一步改进空间的”更为合理些。

(5).Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitleofthetext?(分数:2.00)

A.ScienceJoinsPushtoScreenStatisticsinPapersJ

B.ProfessionalStatisticiansDeserveMoreRespect

C.DataAnalysisFindsItsWayontoEditors"Desks

D.StatisticiansAreComingBackwithScience

解析:解析:本题属于主旨要义题。文章首段第一句就点明了文章的中心论点,指出《科学》杂志将要对

同行评审过程增加额外统计检查:然后全文其余各个段落分别阐述了不同专家对这一想法的观点态度。故

A选项可以概述全文。
