1A.BesidesB.UnlikeC.ThroughoulD.Despite

【答案】A

【解析】根据本句句内逻辑关系,“itturnsoutthathugs…”说明拥抱还有其他结果。因此,

前文的逻辑关系应该为“除此以外”,结合选项,A.Besides(除此之外)最为合适。

2A.equalB.restrictedC.connectedD.inferior

【答案】C

【解析】本题实为逻辑关系题。根据句子前后结构"helpingyoufeelcloseand(2)”,

我们可以判断,由于空格处与前面内容通过and连接,说明我们要选择一个单词与feelclose

同义,并且要与后面介词to连用。因此,通过对于四个选项含义判断,C选项有“关联的”

含义最为符合。

3A.viewB.hostC.lessonD.choice

【答案】B

【解析】此题为固定搭配。“ahostof”表示大量的。其他选项搭配不合理。

4A.avoidB.forgetC.recallD.keep

【答案】A

[解析】根据题干信息“awarmembracemightevenhelpyou(4)gettingsickthiswinter."

中,出现“even”,表示“甚至”,说明此句话与上一句话存在递进的逻辑关系。上一句话的

语义表示“拥抱可以带来大量的好处”,因此,这句话也应该表示拥抱的好处。根据四个选

项含义,A.avoid(避免)B.forget(忘记)C.recall(回忆)D.keep(保持),A选项“避

免生病”最符合文意

5A.collectingB.affectingC.guidingD.involving

【答案】D

【解析】本题考查现在分词做后置定语,需要选择一个现在分词修饰前面的“study",因此,

结合四个选项A.collecting(收集)B.affecting(影响)C.guiding(引导)D.involving(涉

及、卷入),根据句子含义,应该表达''关于涉及400人”的研究。因此正确选项应为D

6A.onB.inC.atD.of

【答案】A

【解析】本题为固定搭配。根据句义"examinedtheeffectsofperceivedsocialsupportandthe

receiptofhugs(6)theparticipants'..."考查固定搭配"examinedtheeffects...onsth”因

此,本题正确选项为A。

7A.devotedB.attractedC.lostD.exposed

【答案】D

【解析】根据句义**commoncoldafterbeing(7)tothevirus.""通常感冒是在…细

菌之后发生的。”结合选项含义A.devoted(致力于)B.attracted(吸引)C.lost(丢失)

D.exposed(暴露于),D选项“暴露在细菌中…”符合文意。

8A.alongB.acrossC.downD.out

【答案】C

【解析】本题为固定搭配。A.comealongwith(和。。。相处的好)B.comeacrosswith(偿付)

C.comedownwith(得病,感染)D.comeoutwith(出版,提出),结合语境,根据后而

与cold(感冒)搭配,C选项“得感冒”搭配最为合理。

9A.imaginedB.deniedC.doubtedD.calculated

【答案】D

【解析】本题为动词与宾语从句搭配问题。根据原文“theresearchers(9)thatthe

stress-reducingeffectsofhugging(10)about32percentofthatbeneficialeffect.动作的

主语是“研究人员。连接后面的宾语从句“拥抱减小压力的作用”,并且有数据支撑。从选

项含义A.imagined(想像)B.denied(否认)C.doubted(怀疑)D.calculated(计算,

推测)来看,宾语从句部分应为研究人员计算推测出的结果。因此,选项D符合要求。

10A.servedB.restoredC.explainedD.required

【答案】C

【解析】本题为动词含义考查。根据文章内容,“thestress・reducingeffectsofhugging

(10)about32percentofthatbeneficialeffect.n本题同样考查研究人员做出的研究结果,因

此,结合选项含义A.served(服务)B.restored(存储)C.explained(解释)D.required

(要求),C选项“解窗”符合语境要求。

11A.ThusB.StillC.RatherD.Even

【答案】D

【解析】本题为逻辑关系题。A.Thus(因此,表示因果关系)B.StUl(仍然,表示强调关

系)C.Rather(相反,表示对比关系)D.Even(甚至,表示递进关系)根据文章上下文

逻辑,下文是对上文做进一步说明,因此选择递进关系比较符合逻辑关系。D为正确选项。

12A.DefeatsB.symptomsC.errorsD.tests

【答案】B

(解析】形容词与名词搭配问题。根据语境"'theoneswhofeltgreatersocialsupportandreceived

morefrequenthugshadlesssevere(12)”所选词要与severe构成合理搭配,再结合前

文语境是关于对于拥抱实验的结果。因此,B.symptoms(症状)符合语境要求。正确选项为

Bo

13A.highlightedB.increasedC.controlledD.minimized

【答案】B

【解析】本题为形容词修饰。根据原文"Huggingprotectspeoplewhoareunderstressfromthe

(13)riskforcoldsthafsusually(14)withstress,'1,需要选择一个形容词来修饰

riskc在选项中,A.highlighted(突出的)B.increased(增加的)C.controlled(被控制的)

D.minimized(最小的),对比选项含义,B“增加的风险”更符合原文语境。

14A.presentedB.equippedC.associatedD.compared

【答案】C

【解析】此题为固定搭配题。A和B选项不可以和with连接。C.associated可以和with连

接,意为“与。。。有关联”。D.compared和with连接表示“和。。相比”不符合文章要求。

因此,本题正确选项为C.

15A.assessB.generateC.moderateD.record

【答案】B

【解析】此题考查动宾搭配。根据原文“Huggingisamarkerofintimacyandhelp(15)

thefeeling...需要选择一个动词能够和后文的"thefeeling”搭配。分析选项含义:A.assess

(评估)B.generate(产生)C.moderate(缓和)D.record(记录),四个选项中,Bugenerate

thefeeling"产生感觉搭配最为合理。因此正选为B。

16A.inthenameolB.intheformofC.inthefaceofD.inthewayof

【答案】C

【解析】此题为短语搭配题。分析选项含义A.inthenameof(以…为名)B.intheformof

(以…的形式)C.inthefaceof(面对…)D.inihewayof(以…的方式),结合文章语境,

应为“面对困难”搭配最为合理。因此,正确选项为C。

17A.attributeB.commitC.transferD.return

【答案】A

【解析】此题为固定搭配题。即:attributesthtosth.因此正确选项为A

18A.unlessB.becauseC.thoughD.until

【答案】B

【解析】此题为逻辑关系题。选项含义A.unless(除非)B.because(因为)C.though(虽

然)D.until(直到才)。结合原文语境,"oftencalled"thebondinghormone”(18)

itpromotesattachmentinrelationships,“(经常被称之为“形成亲密关系的荷尔蒙”….它促进

了关系的依赖。)从本句来看,前后文属于因果逻辑关系。因此正确选项为B

19A.remainsB.emergesC.vanishesD.decreases

【答案】A

【解析】本题为动词辨析。选项含义为A.remains(仍然)B.emerges(出现)C.vanishes

(消失)D.decreases(减少)结合语境信息“Butsomeofit(19)inthebrain,"C

和D选项跟文章含义相反。而B选项只表示一种动作。A选项表示它仍然在大脑里存在,

最符合文章要求,因此正确选项为A。

whereit(20)mood,behaviorandphysiology.

20A.experiencesB.combinesC.justifiesD.influences

【答案】D

【解析】本题为动词辨析。选项含义为A.experiences(经历)B.combines(结合)C.justifies

(替某人辩护,证明合理)D.influences(影响)。根据原文语境,"whereit(20)

mood,behaviorandphysiology.”能够搭配后面并列的三个宾语“情绪、行为、和生理”,只

有D“影响”因此正确选项为D。

答案:21-25ACDDC

21.答案[A]explainAmerican^toleranceofcurrentsecuritychecks.

解析:本题目为例证题,考察论点与论据。根据题干关键词thecrashofEgyptAir

Flight804定位到第二段第二句。例证题中的例子为论据,所要找的答案为论点,而

论点在论据之前,因此该题目的答案是第二段的第一句话。二段首句说的是美国人

愿意忍受长时间的安全检查。正确答案A的American飞tolerance是原文Americans

arewillingtotolerate的原词复现,currentsecuritychecks是原文的time-consuming

security的同义转化。干扰项B的urgencytostrengthensecurityworldwide*原文未

提及worldwide,属于扩大范围;选项C的majorU.S.majorairports属于具体信息的

干扰;选项D的privacy隐私并未提及,是常识性干扰。

22.答案【C】Anincreaseinthenumberoftravelers.

解析:本题目为原因细节题。根据题干中的longwaitsalmajorairports定位到原文第

三段的第二句,原文的resultedin与题干中的contributedto是同义转化,所以定位

内容就是提升的安全措施以及航空旅游的增加。正确答案C的anincreaseinthe

numberoftravelers是原文ariseinairlinetravel的同义替换。干扰项A的carry-on

bags是在第四段的最后一句出现的,非定位句内容;选项B的TSAefficiency也出

现在第四段;选项D的unexpectedsecretchecks未提及。

23.答案[D]faster.

解析:本题目为词义句意题,考察上下文逻辑关系。根据题干,定位到第5段第3

句,“Passengerswhopassabackgroundcheckareeligibletouseexpeditedscreening

lanesw,结合下一句中的这样会savingtimeforeveryoneinvolved,即可以节省时间

的安检,与选项对应就是答案Dfaster更快。干扰项A更安静,选项B更便宜,选

项C更广泛,都无关,属于常识性干扰。

24.答案[D]anunreasonablepriceforenrollment.

解析:本题目为具体细节题。根据题干关键词problemwiththePreCheckprogram定

位到倒数第二段的第二句话thispricetaghasbeenthePreCheck9sfatalflaw.本句中的

代词this代词指代本段第一句话,说的是Passengers必须每五年pay85美元来做

backgroundchecks0正确答案D中的unreasonableprice是原文的85美元,enrollment

就是原文的processbackgroundchecks。干扰项A其规模的极具下滑未提及,选项C

其错误的执行属于过度推理,选项C政府不愿意支持是对原文的曲解。

25.答案[C]GettingStuckinSecurityLines

解析:本题目为全文主旨题。全文的中心主题出现在第一段和二段首句的范围。第

一段介绍事实背景,第二段首句提及了美国人对于安全检查方面的状况,并在下文

提及了所出现的问题。正确答案C安检流程线陷入困境是对原文的总结概括。干扰

项A的Screening是原文的具体细节,选项B和选项D的PreCheck是原文最后三

段的内容。

答案:26-30BABCD

26.答案[B]theimportanceofastronomyinancientHawaiiansociety.

解析:本题目为具体细节题。根据题干中的关键词QueenLiliuokalani的remark定位

到第一段的第一句,所indicate的内容是在第一段的第二句话,意思是观星者是在

Hawaiian社会中最受尊重的成员。正确选项B的theimportanceofastronomy是原文

starwatcherswereamongthemostesteemedmembers的总结概括,inancientHawaiian

society是原文的原词出现。干扰项A的historicalrole属于原文信息的曲解,选项C

的regrettabledecline未提及,过度推理,选项D不是inhertime,是她评论ancient

的观星者。

27.答案[A]itsgeographicalfeatures.

解析:本题目为具体细节题。根据题干中的大写字母MaunaKea,以及关键词ideal

astronomicalsite定位到第二段But后面的内容。But后面说MaunaKea是世界上最

有力量的望远镜home。本题目问的是原因,定位到本段最后一句,这里提到Mauna

Kea的顶峰高于大部分的浓密大气层。选项A中的geographicalfeatures就是地质特

色的意思,属于同义替换。干扰项B的受保护的周边环境未提及,是常识性干扰;

选项C的宗教暗示根据本段首句worship进行干扰,不在定位句里;选项D现有的

基础设施未提及。

28.答案[B]itremindsthemofahumiliatinghistory.

解析:本题目属于原因细节题。根据题干关键词theconstructionoftheTMT以及

opposedbysomelocals定位到第四段第二句,这里提到apainfulreminderofthe

occupationofwhatwasonceasovereignnation,对曾经主权国家遭占领的痛苦提醒。

选项B中的remind是原文的原词复现,ahumiliatinghistory(令人耻辱的历史)是

对theoccupationofwhatwasonceasovereignnation的同义转化及总结概括。

29.答案[C]mayuncovertheoriginofHawaiianculture.

解析:本题目属于细节推断题。根据题干定位到第5段,关键词progressintoday飞

astronomy再第五段中没有。此种情况下,考虑段落中心,即本段的段首,段尾及转

这句。先看首句无答案,看本段尾句提到,或许那就是我们探索星际空间的原因,

好像会回答有关我们自己及我们真正祖先的最原始回答。选项C首先may班对原文

asif的解读,uncover同义替换answer,theoriginofHawaiianculture是原文ourselves

andourtrueancestralhomes的同义转化。干扰项A的dreams本段中没有,干扰项B

的Hawaiianculture本段有提及,但未指出acrosstheworld,干扰项D的softenhostility

属于过度推断。

30.答案[D]fullapproval

解析:第一段第二句Sadly,allisnotwellwithastronomyinHawaiitoday.意思是,可

悲的是,夏威夷现在的天文学不太妙。所以,对于现在夏威夷天文学不太妙的处境,

作者用了一个sadly来形容,明明白白地表达了他的蓝瘦香菇。而夏威夷现在不太妙

的处境具体指什么?在下一句清楚地说明了Protestshaveeruptedoverconstructionof

theThirtyMeterTelescope(TMT),agiantobservatorythatpromisestorevolutionize

humanity^viewofthecosmos意思是我们要搞个巨牛的望远镜,你们居然不同意!所

以两句结合一块,作者的态度就明白了,他是支持建望远镜的。在最后一段的最后

一句里也有作者态度的线索Thereisnoreasonwhyeveryonecannotbewelcomedon

MaunaKeatoembracetheirculturalheritageandtostudythestars.意思是说有人跑到你

们那儿去,接受你们的文化遗产,去看星星看月亮,你们为毛不欢迎?咳咳,正经

点儿说,就是用了noreason和cannot双重否定既强调又强调,还带点儿不可置信地

赶脚说夏威夷人应该欢迎每一个到他们那儿去研究天文,并且欣赏他们的文化遗产

culturalheritage的每一个人everyoneo具体到这篇文章,他们的文化遗产在第五段

和第一段都有说,就是天文研究,而每一个人当然应该包括这些想建天文望远镜的

人。所以作者的态度旗帜鲜明,就是全力支持。所以正确答案是D。

31.答案[D]hadalowopinionofGDP.

解析:题目问的是Robert被引用是因为什么。根据题目中的人名定位到第一段第一句话

RobertF.Kennedyoncesaidthatacountry'sGDPmeasures''everythingexceptthatwhichmakes

lifeworthwhile.”这句话是说这个人认为一个国家的GDP可以衡量所有东西,除了让生活有

意义的事。这个观点摆明了Robert对GDP持不欣赏的态度。D选项alowopinion不高•的评

价,显然是对原文的概括性描述,因此选D。

32.答案【C】GDPasthemeasureofsuccessiswidelydefiedintheUK.

解析:题目明确说了从第二段中找答案。A选项中的economicpattern在原文中没有直接的

表达,但在二段末句••,peoplevoteforBrexit,despitethewarningsaboutwhatitcoulddoto

theircountry飞economicprospects?中,原文有提到人们投票脱欧,尽管有很多人警告他们这

样做可能会对国家经济前景有影响。这说明英国人不怕改变现有经济状况,因此与A中的

reluctant不情愿不相符。B选项中英国对世界经济的贡献问题,在第二段中完全没提,只有

theUK'sGDPhasbeentheenvyoftheWesternworld英国GDP让西方世界嫉妒的表述。C选

项说GDP用来衡量幸福的作用以及被英国人普遍否定了。原文中第二段第二句说itisa

flawedconcept,认为GDP是有问题的,第三句紧接着说Itmeasuresthingsthatdonotmatter

andmissesthingsthatdo表面GDP其实忽视了很多关键的东西,并不能衡量幸福。第四句、

第五句拿UK来举例,说英国GDP很好,但是人们却要脱欧来改变现状,暗示人们的生活

并不好。整段说明了英国人并不认为他们的高GDP给她们带来了好的生活,与C选项正好

形成正话反说,为正确选项。D选项policymakers在第二段第一句出现,并不存在所谓英国

的policymakers,更没有谈过其是否关注GDP。

33.答案【D】Itsresultsareenlightening.

解析:这题根据题干中的recentannualstudy定位到第三段第一句Arecentannual

study...and...shedssomelightonthatquestiono这句话中的shedlighton短语就是照亮,阐释

的意思,跟D选项中的enlighten启发是同义转换,因此为正确答案。

34.答案[C]itisessentialtoconsiderfactorsbeyondGDP.

解析:从题目可知答案来自于最后两段。第六段第一句…
