19、AllofShakespeare^playswillbeperformedatLondon'sGlobeTheatreindiverse

waysEXCEPT.

A、bodylanguage

B、signlanguage

C、hip-hop

D、Maori

标准答案：A

知识点解析:本题为细节题。文章第一段Signlanguage,hip一hopandMaoriare

justsomeofthediversewaysinwhichallofShakespeare'splayswillbeperformedat

London'sGlobeTheatreaspartof2OI2*sCulturalOlympiad.就指出了三种表演形

式:signlanguage>hip-hop和Maori,因此选A。

20>featuresmanyaspectsofMaoriculture.

A、OthelloinHip-hop

Cymbelineperformedbyaspeciallyformedtheatrecompany

C>HenryVIplaysperformedbytheatrecompaniesfromtheBalkans

D、NewZealand'sversionofTroilusandCressida

标准答案：D

知识点解析：本题为细节题。文章第五段指出Othelloistobestagedinhip­

hop...addingtheyoffera14fresh,urbantakeonShakespeare'stragedy^whichwill

be44spunout,smashedupandlyricallyrewrittenoveroriginalbeats”,并没有提到毛利

文化，因此选项A排除掉；关于Cymbeline的信息同样出现在第五段Cymbeline

willbeperformedbyaspeciallyformedtheatrecompanyfromthenewlyindependent

SouthSudan...,接着文章进一步解释了SouthSudan,然后指出该theatrecompany

参加GlobetoGlobe的热情，也没有提到毛利文化，因此选项B排除；有关选项C

的信息可以在第七段中找到，指出了表演的内容whichfocusontheturbulentcivil

WarsoftheRosesin15thcenturyEngland,由此可以判断选项C错误；在同一段，

作者提至了NewZealand'sversionofTroilusandCressidafeaturingthehaka,waiata

andmanyotheraspectsofMaoriculture,因此选项D正确。

21、Surtitleswillnotbeemployedbecause.

A>theyarenoteasytobetranslatedintoEnglish

B、theaudienceprefertohearstoriesinunfamiliarlanguages

C^theywilldistracttheaudience

D、theaudienceisencouragedtohearstoriesintheirowntongue

标准答案：C

知识点3析：本题为细节题。根据题干可以得知，本题考查的是有关surtitles的内

容，而这方面的信息在文章的第八段给予了充分的阐述：Surtitlestranslatingthe

textintoEnglishwillnotbeused.这句告诉我们什么是surtitles,即把文本翻译成英

文，同时告诉我们在这次活动中将不采用这种形式，并没有提到文本翻泽的难易，

因此选项A错误；接着活动的艺术总监认为surtitles对观众们来说是incessant

distraction,因此判断选项C正确；随后该艺术总监spokeoflhet4joyofhearing

storiesinunfamiliarlanguages,\并没有提到观众的喜诵所以选项B错误；同时他

还提至UtheGlobewasstillgoingtosend^ambassador^toex-patcommunitiesintheUK

toencouragepeopletogoandhearShakespeareintheirownlanguage,但这并非不使

用surtitles的原因，所以选项D错误，综上所述应选择C。

22、Nearlyhalfofthecoastsoftheeventwouldbecoveredby.

A^Locog

B、boxoffice

C、theatrecompanies

D、theUN

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题为细节题。根据题干可参照文章第八段的最后两句话Headded

thattheeventwillcostabout1.8mintotalandthat45%ofthecostswouldbecovered

byboxoffice.TheGlobehasalsoreceivedfundingfromtheLondonOrganizing

CommitteeoftheOlympicandParalympicGames（Locog）.,由此判断选项B正确。

23WhichofthefollowingstatementsisNOTtrue?

A、Theeventwillcostabout£1.8m.

B、Theeventwilllastforsevenweeks.

C^Youcanwatchalltheplaysifyoubuya£100YardOlympianticket.

D、Theeventispartof2012'sculturalOlympiad.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题为细节题。根据文章第八段的倒数第二句可以得知选项A正

确；文章最后一段告诉我们GlobetoGlobe的基本情况：持续六个星期（选项B错

误）；开始的时间是来年莎上比亚的生日；票价以5英镑起；100英镑的票可以让你

欣赏所有的戏剧（选项C正确）等等。根据文章第一段可知选项D正确。因此选择

Bo

五、常识（本题共70题，每题7.0分，共10分。）

24、Englishhasundergonedramaticperiods.Theperiodisroughlyfrom449to

1100.

A、AncientEnglish

B、OldEnglish

C、MiddleEnglish

D、ModernEnglish

标准答案：B

知识点解析:英语的发展可分为OldEnglish、MiddleEnglish和ModernEnglish三

个时期，术语上不存在AncientEnglish一词。其中古英语正是从449年到1100

年，故B正确。

25、Themorpheme"vision"inthecommonword"television"isa（n）

A^boundmorpheme.

BNboundform.

C、inflectionalmorpheme.

D^freemorpheme.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：本题考查语素概念。自由词素（freemorpheme）有着完整的语义，它们

被称为自由词素是因为它们可以作为单词独立使用，如helpful中的help就是自由

词素，因为help可以作为独立的单词来使用。自由词素除了可以作为独立的单词

使用以外，它们也可以和其它语素相结合构成单词。而boundmorpheme（粘着语素）

则不可以作为单词独立使用，例如careful中的-ful。inflectionalmorpheme是指表示

单词曲折变化的语素，例如died中的・d,表示过去时态。

26、[m],fromthemannerofarticulation,itis.

A、bilabial

B、plosive

C、nasal

D^latral

标准答案：C

知识点解析：暂无解析

27、TheRivalsisasatirizingthetraditionalpracticeoftheparentstoarrange

marriagesfortheirchildrenwithoutconsideringthelatter'sopinions.

C、comedyofmanners

标准答案：C

知识点解析：暂无解析

28、Predicationanalysis,awaytoanalyzesentencemeaning,wasproposedby

A、JohnAustin.

B、J.R.Searle.

C、G.Leech.

D、N.Chomsky.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本题考查语言学常识。Predicationanalysis（述谓分析）是由英国语言学

家和语义学家G.Leech（杰弗里.利奇）提出的一种分析句子语义的手段。另外，其

提出的PolitenessPrinciple（语言的礼貌原则）弥补了合作原则的不足。|A]John

Austin（约翰・奥斯汀）英国牛津大学道德哲学教授，提出了Speechacttheory（言语行

为理论）。[B]J.R.Searle（约翰・塞尔）,美国语言哲学家,将Speechaettheory（言语

行为理论）进一步系统化，并把illocutionaryacl（言外行为）分成五大类。

[D]N.Chomsky（诺姆•乔姆斯基，1928—）是美国语言学家，Transformational-

GenerativeGrammar（《转换生成语法》）被认为是20世纪理论语言学研究上最伟大

的贡献。

29、Hollywoodisinthestateof.

A、LosAngeles

NewYork

C、California

D、SanFrancisco

标准答案：c

知识点解析：好莱坞是美国加利福尼亚洲城市洛杉矶一个区，是美国的电影业中

心。员

30、Inhisworks,Defoepraisedtheindustrious,sturdyandshowedhissympathy

forthedowntrodden,unfortunatepoor.

A、workingpeople

B、aristocrats

C^middle-classpeople

D、capitalistupstarts

标准答案：C

知识点》析：通过自己的作品，笛福讴歌了勤劳、坚定的中产阶级，并对饱受蹂

蹦、命运悲惨的穷人表示了同情。本题属于英国文学类问题。

31、TheEnglishRenaissanceperiodwasanagenf.

A、poetryanddrama

B、dramaandnovel

C、novelandpoetry

D、romanceandpoetry

标准答案：A

知识点解析：英国的文艺复兴主要体现在文学成就上。其中最主要的代表人物为

Shakespeare,他既是诗人也是戏剧作家。诗和戏剧正是英国当时的主要文学成就，

那时还没有小说的出现，浪漫主义则出现在文艺复兴之后，因而A为正确答案。

32^WhichofthefollowingwordsisNOTaderivative?

A、Physician.

B>Facial.

C、Unify.

D、Nicer.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：词缀加在另一个词上而得来的新词是振生词。选项中的A、B和C都

是派生词。D项nicer中虽然也有词缀er,但表示的是比较级，属曲折变化，并没

有改变词意或词性，因而它不属于派生词。因而本题的答案是D。

33、referstothelearninganddevelopmentofalanguage.

A、Languageacquisition

B、Languagecomprehension

C^Languageproduction

D、Languageinstruction

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题考查语言学基本概念。语言习得（languageacquisition）就是人们学

习和发展语言的过程。其余三项与题目中定义不符。

六、改错（本题共1题，每题7.0分，共1分。）

34NThechildrenattendedasmallelementaryschooltothattheyhadtowalkeveryday,

possiblyforafewmiles.

标准答案：thatwhich

知识点解析：关系代词前有介词，不能使用that,必须用which。

七、汉译英（本题共I题，每题1.0分，共7分。）

35、哲学家们以各种各样的方式解释世界。哲学是言而不是行。哲学家断乎改变

不了自然与社会。是不能也，非不为也。哲学不是科学技术，不是生产力。哲学是

怀疑，是思虑，是静观，是探索。严格来说，哲学不是解释宇宙，那是自然科学的

事。哲学家至多只能解释人生，解释自己，解释文本。哲学也不是知识，不是知识

体系，不是儿何学，物理学那样一大套公理、公式，可以解决实际生存问题。哲

学的精神永远是探究、怀疑、发问、深思；而不是提供现存答案。哲学家有些不食

人间烟火，他远离田野车间，甚至也不拿天文望远镜观察天体，而只是坐存静湍的

书斋罩读书、思考、思考那究竟至极、虚无堞渺的本体问题。哲学家孤苦伶仃，独

处•室之中。面对古往今来的大哲学家遗留下来的问题，他苦苦沉思。他唯•的

财富是文本，哲学因而就是解释文本，而不是解释宇宙。哲学家只是一味地同古往

今来的灵魂交谈——他读书，是同古昔人物交谈：他写作，是同子孙后代奁谈；他

讲演，是同莘莘学子交谈；他沉思是同自己交谈。他长于洞见,洞见未来；他善于

遐想，遐想无限；他耽于梦幻，幻游彼岸；他富于关怀，关怀永恒。他同远在天涯

的哲人和精神交谈，在这个意义上，他视通万里，思接千载。他伟大，他不朽，他

同古往今来的灵魂对话。以哲学为命运的人应当准备在崎岖小路上独行，没有目

的，也不会有黄金滚滚而来。告别鲜花、头衔、掌声和奖品，钟情于思，就会有真

哲学。

标准答案：过去，我常常在教堂的心意篮里面发现一些优美的小短文，有些是关

于我的布道，有些是作者日常读《圣经》的感想。写这些短文的人不仅对我的一些

观点加以反思，同时还会引用一些他/她曾经读过的，令他/她难忘又喜爱的诗人或

者神秘主义者的话。我给这些短文迷住了。我看到了一个执着于追寻真与美的人。

其珍而重之的字句，优美动人。我还感觉到好像那些字句也乐于让我们发现，它们

是那么毫无保留地，慷慨地为这无名氏作者借用，而现在轮到这位无名氏来学习与

人分享这些美文的奥秘、。分享令美愈加闪耀生辉，在这个意义上说，其实世上唯一

的真理是分毫不费的。

知识点解析：如果说专四作文的命题还更多集中于与考生学习成长等相关问题的

话，那么专八作文的要求无疑上升到了一个更高的层次，即要求考生就一些社会热

点问题进行深度思考并抒发感想。本篇的命题即是如此，考生需要从社会学和人类

学的角度进行思考，反思人类历史上种种纷争的原因。本篇作者行文中不但显示出

扎实的文字功底，更反映出其深刻的思考能力以及对历史常识的较好把握。因此，

考生在平时也应注重锻炼自己的逻辑思维能力，并提升自己对多学科的掌握程度。
