1Bymentioning"thesametimecrunch"（Line1,Para.2）SandraHofferthmeans

A、childrenhavelittletimetoplaywiththeirparents

B、childrenarenottakengoodcareofbytheirworkingparents

C、bothparentsandchildrensufferfromlackofleisuretime

D、bothparentsandchildrenhavetroublemanagingtheirlime

标准答案：C

知识点解析：语义理解题。该短语所在句子的上文（第1段最后一句）表明“孩子的

课余时间比以前少了”，而本句则指出父母和孩子都受timecrunch的影响，可见

thesametimecrunch是指空闲时间不够用，故C正确。

2、Accordingtotheauthor,thereasongivenbySandraHofferthforthetimecrunchis

A、quiteconvincing

partiallytrue

C、totallygroundless

D、ratherconfusing

标准答案：B

知识点解析：观点态度题。第2段第2句中括号里的内容表明了作者的观点。转折

词Nevertheless说明作者的观点跟上文SandraHofferth的看法不完全一致，而作者

在下文举例中提到，单身母亲因为要上班，与孩子在一起的时间只有9个小时，确

实少了很多，这与Hofferth所述一致，因此选B。

3、Accordingtotheauthorachilddevelopsbetterif

A、hehasplentyoftimereadingandstudying

B、heislefttoplaywithhispeersinhisownway

C^hehasmoretimeparticipatinginschoolactivities

D^heisfreetointeractwithhisworkingparents

标准答案：B

知识点解析：事实细节题。第3段最后一句表明孩子自由玩乐能促使他们独立思

考，并使他们学会处理与同龄人的关系，其中unstructuredplay相当于B中的play

inhisownway»故B正确。

4、TheauthorisconcernedaboutthefactthatAmericankids,

A、arcengagedinmoreandmorestructuredactivities

B、areincreasinglyneglectedbytheirworkingmothers

C^arespendingmoreandmoretimewatchingTV

D、arcinvolvedlessandlessinhouseholdwork

标准答案：A

知识点解析：观点态度题。文章一开头作者就说孩子们比1981年时上学的时间每

周多8小时，他们还做更多的家务，参加更多的有组织性的活动等等，而这些均是

造成孩子们空闲时间越来越少的原因，而孩子们空闲时间少也正是作者忧虑的问

题，故用推知本题选A。B是作者在第2段括号里反驳过的观点；C错在moreand

moretime,而且作者对孩子看电视也不完全反对；孩子们事实上要做更多家务，

故D错。

5、Wecaninferfromthepassagethat

A、extracurricularactivitiespromotechildren'sintelligence

B、mostchildrenwillturntoreadingwithTVsetsswitchedoff

C^effortstogetkidsinterestedinreadinghavebeenfruitful

D、mostparentsbelievereadingtobebeneficialtochildren

标准答案：D

知识点解析：推理判断题。文章最后一段倒数第2句说“尽管父母费尽心思培养孩

子的读书兴趣，可孩子们一周也只不过花一个多小时读书由此可见，父母认为

读书对孩子有好处，即D。A中的extracurricularactivities包含structuredand

unstructuredactivities,文中只说unstructuredactivities有助于培养孩子独立思考以

及与同龄人交往的能力，没有说slrucluredaclivilies对inlelligence有什么帮助；B

与文章的倒数第3句不符；C与倒数第2句不符。

6、Theword"repulsive"（Line3,Para.l）mostprobablymeans"

A、disgusting

B、pleasant

C^acceptable

D、delicious

标准答案：A

知识点解析：词义推断题。解答本题的关键首先要理解repulsive前面的it是指上

一句的octopus,由Oniheotherhand可知第2句和第3句描述的是人们对章鱼作为

食物的两种相反的反应，而与agrealdelicacy相反的是A,故A为正确答案。

7、Wecaninferfromthesecondparagraphthatwhencollectingthesnails,the

author.

A^wasgladthathecouldsharethemwithhisfriend

B、wasangrybecausetheymightdamagehisbelovedplants

C、wasexcitedaboutbeingabletogivehisfriendasurprise

D、wasdepressedbecauseitwashardtoextinguishthemall

标准答案：B'

知识点解析：推理判断题。在第2段中查找到作者有一天在阵雨后散步发现蜗牛爬

在他那些prizeplants上面，所以才突然有了去抓蜗牛的冲动。理解prize在此意为

“一流的，珍视的“，便可知作者当时很生气，由此可确定答案为B。

8、Theauthorfindsthatsnails.

A^areasdeliciousasoctopus

B、aredislikedinhishometown

C、arethemostcontroversialfood

D^areaspopularasfriedpotatoes

标准答案：C

知识点解析：事实细节题。本题考查复合句的理解。第2段第1句“No

creature…more…thansnails”表达的是最高级概念，即:Snailshavereceivedmost

praiseandabuse.由此可知，蜗牛是最具争议性的食物，因此C就是该句的近义替

换。作者没有把蜗牛与章鱼或炸土豆作比较，因此A和D不对：文中提到在朋友

的居住地，蜗牛是没人睚得上的，但没有提到在作者的家乡是否受欢迎，因此B

也不对。

9、Thebesttitleofthispassagemightbe"

A^OneMan'sMeatisAnotherMan'sPoison

B、FoodsandCultures

C、SnailandOctopus

D、PeopleArcIllogicalinFrontofDelicacies

标准答案：A

知识点解析：主旨大意题。文章第1句话其实是全文的主题句，说明人们对于选择

吃什么、不吃什么是没有什么章法的，暗示了人们在饮食方面有大相径庭的喜好，

接着用了数个具体例子说明，并着重以蜗牛为例，阐明这种差异。英语习语"One

man'smeatisanotherman'spoison”形象地表达了这一观点。本题最具干扰性的是

B,文章在第1段谈到饮食有差异，这涉及到了culture,但作者并没花太多笔墨描

述各国不同的文化，因此，culture并非本文的中心。另外，D的表达与文章第1句

很相似，但是D说的是人们在美食面前会丧失理智，与第1句的意思其实相差甚

远，且并非文章要阐明的主题。

10、Asindicatedinthepassage,peoplelovedifferentfoodsmainlybecause.

A^theyliveindifferentplaces

B、theylearntocatcertainfoodsintheirfamilies

C、theyhavedifferentunderstandingsofdelicacy

D^theyaretooillogicaltoexplain

标准答案：B

知识点解析：推理判断题。本题考查表语从句的理解。从第1段的最后一句中的

“mostofushavebeenbroughtuptoeatcertainfoods”可推断B为不同的人喜好不同食

物的最主要原因。A最具干扰性，它也是原因之一，但住在同一个地方的人也会有

不同的饮食差异，所以还是因为家庭的原因所造成的。

II、Itisindicatedinthepassagethatcompetitionbetweenschoolsresultsin.

A、higherenrollmentrale

B、loweracademicstandard

C、highermarketingexpenses

D、privatizationoffurthereducation

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第2段最后一句与第2段第1句构成隐含的因果关系，原因是学校之

间竞争激烈，结果是学校花费人力物力以求在竞争中取胜，如高薪委任市场经理。

由此可知C正确。

12、Realcompetitioncanhappenonlywhen.

A、academicstandardisimprovedbytheeducationsector

B、therearecomparableschoolswithdifferenteducationalqualities

C>studentshavedifferentinterestsindifferentcourses

D、schoolsofallareashavesufficientbudgetfortheirdevelopment

标准答案：B

知识点解析：只要理解第3段最后一个分句中的that指向前一个分句，答案不难找

到。B是对该分句的近义改写。

13^Accordingtothepassage,thefreemarketinsecondaryeducation.

A、onlyprovidesconsumerswithmoreinformation

B、ismorecompetitivethanthehighereducationmarket

C、meanstherewillbemoreintensivecompetitionthanincolleges

D、isarealsurprisetoBritain'srecentgovernment

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第3段admittedly（不可否认地）之后一句指出了消费者得到了更多的

信息，A与此相符。文中只是分别介绍高等教育及中等教育的竞争情况，但没有做

横向对比，因此B和C没有原文依据。D与该段第1句相悖。

14、Theauthorofthepassagefeelsrelievedthat.

A、secondaryschoolshavetomarketthemselves

B、mostsecondaryschoolshavescarceresourcesofstaffandmoney

C>theresearchprovesmostsecondaryschoolsarethebest

D、schoolsneedn'tprovethattheyarethebest

标准答案：D

知识点解析：解答本题的关键是理解倒数第2段最后一句中that的具体所指：that

代指上句破折号后的做法。

15、Whatmightbetheauthor'sattitudetowardscompetitionsbetweennearbyschools?

A、Theauthorisinfavorofvariouskindsofcompetition.

B、Theauthorisindifferenttoanycompetitionanditsresult.

C、Theauthorisnotcertainoftheeffectofcompetitions.

D、Theauthorisagainstinter-collegiatecompetitions.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：根据最后一段，特别是最后一句的notincompetingandmarketing,

可知作者对竞争的态度是反对的。

16、Thereareabout260millionpeoplewhocanspeak.

A、Englishinitsregionalvariety

B、Englishinitsstandardvariety

C、Englishasasecondlanguage

D、Englishasaworkinglanguage

标准答案：B

知识点解析：根据第1段第2、3句，可以推断在文中提到的七个英语国家里，人

们所说的英语都属于标准变体，因此B正确。

17、Accordingtothispassage,theEnglishlanguagemightbeused.

A^foronlyonereasonthatEnglishisbecominganinternationallanguage

B、mainlybypeoplefromtheAmericancontinentandtheEuropeancontinent

C、asanofficiallanguageinaninternationalconferenceontheAmericanculture

D^inscienceandtechnologyaswellasinculturalandhistoricalstudiesofallcountries

标准答案：C/

知识点解析：C可以通过文章第1段和第3段的内容得出推论。第3段第1句话表

明A是不全面的，第1段第2句表明B是错误的，D中关于culturalandhistorical

studiesofallcountries的信息在文中没有出现。

18、Theauthorseemstobewondering.

whatmakesupone'sadequateworkingknowledgeofEnglish

B、whyEnglishcanservesomanyneedsofvariouspeople

C、howtorelatethetechnologicalproblemsinairportcommunications

D、whenEnglishbecamesowidelyused

标准答案：A

知识点解析：题目中的wondering是第2段最后一句中difficulltodefineandstill

moredifficult〔oassess的同义转换，所以答案就是原文中的后半句，A中的makes

up与constitutes同义，A为正确答案。

19、"thesecountries"（line7,Para.3）mostprobablyrefersto.

A^thedevelopingcountrieswhichusedtobecolonies

B、theformerBritishcolonieswhichnowaredeveloping

C、thecolonizedcountrieswhichbecomeasstrongasBritain

D、thedevelopingcountrieswhicharestillcolonizedbyBritain

标准答案：B-

知识点解析：these回指第3段倒数第2句中的developingcountries,especially

formerBritishcolonies,将四个选项与此对比，不难发现B是该说法的同义替换。

本题稍具干扰性的是A,但该选项前半段正确，后半段错误，根据原文，这些国家

是英国的殖民地，而不是像A所说的任何的殖民地。

20、Acommonlanguageisnecessaryforsomemulti-lingualcountries.

A、forbothinternalandinternationalcommunications

B、foraccesstothedevelopmentinothercountries

C^forhigherefficiencyofthegovernmentandbetterlifeofthepublic

D、forwidercommunicationsamongcolonialnations

标准答案：A

知识点解析：A是对文章最后一句的全面概括，为正确答案。B和C只分别概括了

英语的国际交流作用和国内交流作用，而D断章取义，均不正确。

1、[Cl]

标准答案：O

知识点解析：此处应为形容词或动词的分词形式，作is的表语。对比本句与上一

句，可以知道本句表明海外客家人的性格特征更明显，因此本题答案为

remarkableo

2、[C2]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：此处应为形容词或动词的分词形式，与is构成本句的谓语。根据上

下文，rooted最合适。berootedinthecultureofHakkaEarthBuildings意为“扎根于客

家土楼文化中

3、[C3]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：此处应为动词原形。结合上一句的内容，空白处用achieve最合适，

只有团结起来，客家人才能获得更多成就。

4、[C4]

标准答案：L

知识点解析：此处应为名词，与design并列作本句的主语。根据句意，本句的主

语应该是关于客家土楼的设计和构造，因此本题答案应为structureo

5、[C5]

标准答案：B

知识点解析:此处应为名词,作improve的宾语。在词库中,通常与living搭配的

名词是standardsolivingstandards意为"生活水平

6、[C6]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：此处应为形容词或动词的分词形式，作imeresl的定语。本句提到

interest“利益”是与全家或全村有关的，因此空白处用shared最合适。

7、[C7]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：此处应为形容词或动词的分词形式，作society的定语。本段首先讲

到以前客家土楼的功能作用，本句通过But一词表转折，表明以前的客家土楼不再

适应现在的社会需要了，因此空白处应为modern。

8、[C8]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：此处应为名词。根据与空白处搭配的recorded,history等词，可以推

断period最合适，可构成“记载一段历史”之义。

9、[C9]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：此处应为名词。空白处前的tourist表明aitraclion符合句意，tourist

attraction为常用搭配，意为“旅游胜地”。

10、[C10]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：此处应为形容词或动词的分词形式，作tradition的定语。本句是对全

文的一个总结，表明客家文化很特别，因此空白处的单词应表明这个特点，所以本

题答案为uniqueo

II、[Cl]

标准答案：M

知识点解析•：此处应为动词原形，并可与..搭配，根据该结构中的数

字，可以判断此处动词为rangeorangefromonetothree意为“范围在一到二之间

12、[C2]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：此处应为形容词。结合上一句的句意，可以推断最适合的是common

一词。

13、[C3]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：此处应为名词。上一句提到了宿舍里具体配备的东西，结合本句中的

形容词plainbutadequate,可以推断本句是对宿舍陈设的总结,因此furnishings为

本题答案。

14、[C4]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：此处应为名词。从本句中的goodunderstanding和positive

understanding可以推断空白处的名词表积极意义，因此只有success适合。本句中

的2是一个介词，并非构成动词不定式的t。，所以后面要跟名词success。

15、[C5]

标准答案：L

知识点解析：此处应为名词，与activities并列为learn的宾语。从上下文词义判

断，在词库中只有schedule最合适。

16、[C6]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：空白处所在句子缺少谓语动词，由上下文时态可知，本旬应为一般现

在时，且主语为第三人制单数的It,故空白处应填入动词的第三人称单数形式，词

库中只有succeeds及depends符合要求。从语义上看，depends能与on搭配，表示

“取决于“，填入文中指“与室友相处的时间长短取决于你和你的室友“，语义通顺。

故本题答案为dependso

17、[C7]

标准答案：0

知识点解析•：此处可为形容词或分词，作are的表语。下一句是对该句空白处形容

词的解释，可见该词表明室友的诚信度。只有trustworthy适合该词义。

18、[C8]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此处应为过去分词，与keep构成keepsb.fromdoingsth.的结构。

本句是对上一句的进一步说明，结合这两句的语义，以及keepsb.fromdoing

sth.这一结构，可以推断答案是tempted。

19、[C9]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：此处应为不及物动词，作从句的谓语。在根据上下文语义，在词库中

只有conflict一词适合。

20、[CIO]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：此处应为名词，并且由谓语are可知该名词是复数。该词应与library

形成对比表地点，在词库中只有dormilories最适合。

1、[Cl]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：此处应为名词，该物质是薄木制成的。根据下文aroundLeonardoda

Vincispainting,可知它是指达芬奇这幅名画的画板，因此答案为panel。另外下文

第6段再次提到了woodpanel,从中可进一步确定答案。

2、[C2]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：此处应为动词的过去分词，且是及物动词，与has构成本句的谓语,

宾语是astudy,符合这些条件的只有commissioned,指“委托”别人进行研究。

3、[C3]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：此处应为名词，可与介词on搭配。上下文表明虽然卢浮宫决定评估

《蒙娜丽莎》受气候的影响，但该画仍继续展览，表示“展览”的只能是。n

displayo

4、[C4]
