displayingtheirresearchresults.[BlI].

34、[Bl]

标准答案：absolutely

知识点解析：absolutely意为“绝对地根据第二句话shouldhavehisorherown

computer可知第一句应是肯定性陈述necessary为形容词，S26所填词是其修饰

语，应是表达肯定意义的副词。absolutely意为“绝对地”。做题时需注意文章基调

是肯定，还是否定，还是客观地把肯定方面和否定方面都指出来。

35、[B2]

标准答案：freshman

知识点解析：freshman意为“大一新生”。根据第一句可知本文涉及大学生应用计算

机这一问题，而S27前的incoming“进校门的”表明此处指刚进入大学的学生，意即

大学一午级新生，其前的each决定S27是单数形式的“freshman"。此外，colleges

students及第二段末句中freshman也有提示。做题时需注意共现的词语对单复薮等

形式上的要求。

36、[B3]

标准答案：advantages

知识点解析：advantages意为“利益，好处工本空格所在句起承上启下的作用，根

据第一段前两句可判断文章对计算机是持肯定态度的，卜面第二、二、四段所举例

子都说明了计算机给大学生带来了诸多“好处故在S28中应填入advaniages。做

题时需注意联系上下文确定某些地方的用词。

37、[B4]

标准答案：appealing

知识点解析：叩pealing,意为“吸引人的”。根据文章表现出的肯定基调可知，

reason前要求一带肯定色彩的修饰语，以反映计算机对其使用者，即对大学生的吸

引力(appealing)。

38、[B5]

标准答案：deleting

知识点解析：deleting意为“删除”。根据下句中的revision一词可知，S30要求动词

的现在分词形式来描述这一过程，与其前的typingaword构成相对照的两个动

作。计算机键盘上有delete键，所以S30应为deleting。做题时应注意上下文的语

义联系及词语和语境的共现。

39、[B6]

标准答案：revise

知识点解析：revise意为“修订，修改“。根据该句前一部分的revision一词可知S31

处要求描述同一过程的动词，即是revision的同根词复现，而belikelytodo

something结构要求用动词原形。所以S31中应填入revise。

40、[B7]

标准答案：require

知识点解析：require意为“要求”，从using这个单词可推测所填词可接动词的现在

分词，此外，与本空前courses形成语义场共现。requiresb.todosth.表示“要求某

人做某事”，因此，做题时需注意词语的常用搭配用法。

41、[B8]

标准答案：interpret

知识点解析：interpret意为“解释，说明，诠释”。空格前文提到理科学生在很多方

面利用电脑，并且举厂医科学生利用电脑绘图功能来研究人体体内结构的例子，所

以此空格指医科学生要学会诠释电脑展现的人体结构图像。
