大学英语B模拟题1答案及局部注解

PartIUseofEnglish(20points)

1.从此题的对话可看出，第一句话人想见校长，但校长此时列法见他，礼貌的答复需

表示低意，并说明理由，因此最正确答案是A。

2.此2的提前者是想借用对用的词典,如果对方乐意出借自己的词典，最正确的答复

是CoHelpyourself在这里的意思是“尽管用吧”。

3.此题的问句是在询问对方是不是罗伯特.先生，如果答复是肯定的，最正确的选择

是A。这是里的一珅惯用语。

4.此题的提|可者在礼貌地用“Excuseme,sir"训问布朗博士的办公室在哪里，因此咨

复也需要有礼貌。如果是否认的答复，不知道布即博士的办公室在哪能里，最好要向

提问者提及什么地方可得到帮助，所以最正询的选择是D。

5此题的提问者在赞扬玛丽的连衣裙很漂亮，同时也询I可约辎的情况，对赞扬的典型

答复是thankyou,同时还需要提供有关到翰的信息，因此选择C。

6从本句的问句和答复看，该句是出现在效劳切所，说话人在询问对方想买什么，因

此选择A。

7此禺的第一说话人想请对方去喝跚啡。如果不承受遨靖，礼貌的方式是要表示歉意

对方的逊请，因此最正确的选择是B。

8此题的提问者在湖问对方是哪里人，用的前词是mind。如果对方不介意，最正确的

选择是D。

9从此题的第一说话人说的话看，情景是在餐馆。说话人想看菜单，并抱怨已经等候

PartIIReadingprehension(40points)

Passage1

11答案C。细节推理题。见原文第一段中第二句话"Wedon'tknowifeitherstoryis

true”,意思是我们不知道这两个故事是否真实，因此选项C“作者不能确认故事是否

真实”是正确选项。

12笞案D。细节题。见原文第二段第二句tthehaddifficultyreadingandwriting",意

思是“他在阅读和写作方面都有困难"，第二段最后一句"Theproblemwasthathe

didn，tknowhowtospell",意思是“问题是他不会拼写“，只有选项D“他拙于|用读、

写作和拼写〃与原文相符。选项C“他让他的助手替他签署文件”与原文所说“他让

助手把文件读给他听"不符。

13答案C。细节推理题。原文提到了“OK”的两个用处，第一个起源于PresidentJackson,

他批潴某一文件的时候,会签上“OLkorekt"，即"ALLCORRECT”〔全对〕的错误

拼写，后来又将之缩略为"0K”。应选项C“0K由PresidentJackson首用”符合原文。

14答案D。细节髭。原文最后一原中说“VanBu「en，sfriendsorganizedaclubtohelphim

beePresidentanyonewhosupportedVanBurenwascalled'OK'”,意思是VanBuren

的支持者们组织了OldKinderhook俱乐部来支持他竞选，所弧他的支持者41都被称为

“0K”。政只有选项D符合原文。

15笞案B。判断推理题。原文最后一段中说“VanBuren'sfriendsorganizedaclubto

helphimbeePresidentanyonewhosupportedVanBurenwascalled'OK'"，意思是Van

Buren的支持者力组少了OldKinderhook俱乐部来支持他竞选,B以他的支持者「都被

称为“OK"o可见"0K”一开场专指那次总统竞选中VanBwen的支持者，仅适用于

那次总统选举，故正确答案是B。

Passage2

16答案C。细节推理题。见原文第二句话“Lessthanatenthofthepeopleareengagedin

agricultureandforestry",少于十分之一的美国人从事农业和林业，所以如果美国

人口是2.5亿，那么农业和林业的从业人员为其十分之一不到，即少于2500万，

所以选项C是正确答案。

17.答案Co细节判断题。见原文第四句话uhalfthepopulationnowlivesinsomethirty

metropolitanareas-•--alargerproportionthaninGermanyofEngland,letalone

France",美国一半人口都住在大约30个大都市里，这个比例大过德国和英国，

更不用提法国了，可见法国的城市人口比例在四个国家里是最小的，因此正确答

案是案

18.答案A。词诺释义题。

19.答案Bo细节判断题。见原文倒数第三句话“everysmalltownmaystillbeverylikeother

smalltowns",第一个小城都与其他的小城很相似,应选项B符合原文。

20.答案C。

Passage3

21.答案D。综合判断题。见原文第三段第一句话“evenifthepeoplecannotwrite,they

mayknowsomethingofthepast”,即使没有文字记录，人们也可以了解过去的历

史，即通过口头传授，很明显选项D是与原文这个观点不一致的，政D是应选笞

案。

22.答案D。细节题。见原文第二段最后一句话"weknowalmostnothingaboutthepeople

wholivedeven200yearsagoincentralAfrica,becausetheyhadnotlearnedtowrite”,

对于中非200年的历史我们几乎一无所知，那是因为中辛地区的人不会书写，所

以D是正确答案。

23.答案D。词义理解题。口J以根据上下文判断词义。原文第三段提到，人们从老一

辈人那儿听说,再以歌唱、舞甯和故事的形式流传下去，这就称为-remembered

history"o所以选项D是正确答案。

24.答案B。细节题。见原文最后一句话Kwheretherearenowrittenrecords,suchspoken

storiesareoftenveryhelpful",但没有文字记录的时候，这些口头流传的故事就很有

帮助，应选项B符合原文。

25.笞案A。综合推理题。根据全文大意，作者认为文字记录是我。1了解历史最有价

值的资料，所以如果古人对每一件事都以文字记录下来，我们对历史将了解得更

多，所以选项A最接近文意。

26.C27.D28.D29.D30.A

PartIIIVocabularyandStructure(25points)

31.答案C。此题的考点是busy的用法。因为busy的搭配是bebusy(in)doingsth。

所以答案为G

32.答案C。此题的考点是情态动词musthavedone构造的搭配表C有把握的猜测。

所以答案为C。

33.答案C。此题的考点是wonder引导的宾话从句。其中what与此题的题意相符,

所以选C。

34.答案B。此题的考点是with+n.+done构造在句中做状语。因为表示的状态不是正

在进展所以不选A,答案为B。

35.答案D。此题的考点是由if引导的条件状语从句

36.A37.D38.B39.A40.C41.B42.D43.B44.A45.C
