參考答案

1.D解析：這篇文章講的是MarkTwain的故事，他是美國(guó)著名的作家。參見第一句。

2.B

3.B

4.D解析：本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第1段最后一句Hesaiditwasa1950or1951Chevrolet．和第2段第1句中的Ordinarily，searchingthroughthefilesforownersofelderlyChevieswouldhavebeenanimpossiblydifficulttaskbecausethereweretwoandahalfmillionsuchcars．我們不難看出Chevrolets與Chevies所指的是同一個(gè)東西，故應(yīng)選D。

5.D參見：...becameverypopularbothintheUnitedStatesandinEurope．

6.D解析：按照第二段的說(shuō)法。野狗是群居動(dòng)物。一只母狗會(huì)一次生16只小狗，一群當(dāng)中如有幾只母狗同時(shí)生小狗的話，那就會(huì)很多。但按它們的習(xí)性，一群狗中只有一只母狗給小狗喂奶?？梢韵胂?，一只母狗是喂不過(guò)來(lái)的。

7.A解析：根據(jù)文章的說(shuō)法，工人是被管理的對(duì)象，是聽從別人的。所以，這也就形成了他們?cè)诠芾碜约旱暮⒆訒r(shí)，也希望孩子只是執(zhí)行自己的命令而已，比較容易動(dòng)用休罰。選項(xiàng)A是正確的。

8.D解析：最后一段的意思排除了選項(xiàng)A、B、C。只有選項(xiàng)D是正確答案。

9.C解析：推斷題。根據(jù)第五句“Mostinsectshavetheabilitytohibernateinwinter，butthehoneybeeseemstohavelostthis．”可知C項(xiàng)正確。

10.B

11.B解析：根據(jù)答案選項(xiàng)回原文中定位，很快能找到對(duì)頭發(fā)顏色和性格的描寫，因此可以排除C和D。根據(jù)常識(shí)可知5'5"是對(duì)身高的描寫，因此A也可以排除。

12.D

13.A

14.C解析：參見第三句：《美國(guó)英語(yǔ)辭典》于1828，年出版二卷，已被公認(rèn)為美國(guó)用法的權(quán)威。

15.B解析：從短文第二自然段理發(fā)師所說(shuō)的話，可知該選B。

16.C句意理解題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】從第一段第六句可知，布朗先生給姐姐及其家人寄送圣誕賀卡．他沒有忘記馬克17個(gè)生日中的任啊一個(gè)。由此可以推斷，在馬克過(guò)生日時(shí)，布朗先生總是要寄些東西表示祝賀。

17.B

18.B

19.D

20.A

21.D

22.C

23.A解析：客人建議“將瓶頸打碎”、“用牙”。注意不是選項(xiàng)B“用嘴”。

24.C由第二段最后一句Somescientists…animalsreleaseachemicalthatstartsthemhibernating．可知，C項(xiàng)符合題意，故選C。

25.D解析：本題考查的是對(duì)詞義的猜測(cè)能力。通過(guò)該詞所在句的下旬thecoldperiodisgoodforthetree可得出答案。該題還可用排除法解。A選項(xiàng)improved的意思是“改進(jìn)”，B選項(xiàng)increased“增加”，C選項(xiàng)sold“出售”，文章都未提及，故不用。

26.D解析：參照短文最后一段。

27.B

28.B答案為B。根據(jù)第一段第二句，Sleepisnecessaryforgoodhealth作出該項(xiàng)選擇。

29.C

30.D解析：參見第四段。

31.B詞義辨析題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】88yards(88碼)指一段距離，8項(xiàng)為正確答案。away一條路，一種方法；apath一條小路；ahighway一條公路。

32.D解析：inone'sopinion表“在某人看來(lái)”，固定搭配。

33.D解析：在肯塔基學(xué)校，主管人的兒子放棄學(xué)業(yè)參加了北方軍，死在戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上，再也沒回來(lái)。trytodosth．，試圖做某事但未成功；refusetodosth．，拒絕做某事。這里已經(jīng)提到他參了軍并死在戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上，該兩選項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)的。pretendtodosth．裝作做某事，不合題意，也是錯(cuò)的。quittodosth．放棄正在做的某事，開始做另一件事。

34.C解析：readthrough通讀，讀遍。很少有人都讀完。

35.Bmopofhair蓬松的卷發(fā)。

36.A解析：士兵槍殺了他。shoot射中，射死；shootat朝……開槍。destroy，毀壞；damage損壞；bury埋葬。

37.D解析：which在此引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，修飾前面列出的動(dòng)物。

38.Cinvent“發(fā)明”；create“創(chuàng)造”；produce“生產(chǎn)”。根據(jù)前面所說(shuō)，種植的是橡膠樹，因此應(yīng)是“生產(chǎn)”橡膠。C項(xiàng)是正確的。

39.D35．通篇講了雞蛋的好處，又反駁了對(duì)雞蛋的錯(cuò)誤看法，這里指的肯定是雞蛋。選項(xiàng)D是正確的。

40.C

41.B

42.D解析：只知道她父親是家具木工。他也收集化石?！癰ut”轉(zhuǎn)折說(shuō)明前面應(yīng)是“少”。

43.A

44.A解析：他們說(shuō)，如果政府能夠限制任何人把自己的觀點(diǎn)公之于眾，那么我們所謂言論自由的權(quán)利是毫無(wú)意義的。

45.D解析：列一個(gè)購(gòu)物單并豎持按單子上的東西購(gòu)買是節(jié)約錢的一個(gè)重要因素，所以用stickingto，這也正和第一段提到的“stickingtoagrocerylist"相吻合。而replyto表示“回答”，accordingto表示“根據(jù)”，belongto表示“屬于”，都不符合題意。

46.B動(dòng)詞不定式作目的狀語(yǔ)。tosatisfyone’sneed意為“滿足需要”。

47.D解析：takingtwoclasses意思是“上了兩門課”，與其后的有空閑時(shí)間吻合。A選項(xiàng)studying后應(yīng)接學(xué)習(xí)科目。

48.D解析：someone某人。這兩句話的意思是：我們是該用手機(jī)、筆記本電腦、照相機(jī)等來(lái)滿足我們的需求，但我們還可以在不想被打擾時(shí)關(guān)機(jī)。如果知道怎樣使用手機(jī)，就可以避免它的弊端。

49.B

50.C解析：后面說(shuō)，在她20歲的時(shí)候生了場(chǎng)大病，所以一切都改變了。Differfrom與……不同，sthconfusesb某事把某人弄糊涂，beconfused被弄糊涂，mix攪和、混合。這些選項(xiàng)意義不對(duì)，搭配不對(duì)。選項(xiàng)C是正確的。

51.D19．答案為D。這個(gè)小男孩被經(jīng)過(guò)的汽車撞倒了。knockdown“撞倒”；knockon“敲擊”；

knockat“敲(門)”；knockin“(把釘子)釘入”。

52.B

53.B本題考查定語(yǔ)從句。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：別人給了我三本關(guān)于烹飪的書，第一本是我真正喜歡的。這是一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，which指代threebooks。從句中有thefirst，因此關(guān)系代詞前要加介詞0f。

54.C8．答案為C

因健康狀況不佳，我父親去年退休了?，F(xiàn)在分詞的獨(dú)立結(jié)構(gòu)做原因狀語(yǔ)。

55.A9．答案為A

現(xiàn)在我們這個(gè)地方很少下大雨，不是嗎?seldom“很少”，有否定含義，因此反意疑問(wèn)句用肯定形式。

56.D答案為D

他的兄弟成了一名律師，他也想做律師，只有which能引導(dǎo)非限定性定語(yǔ)從句。

57.Bwisdom是不可數(shù)名詞，通常不加定冠詞。智慧是非常好的美德。

58.unreasonable

59.D

60.A此題考查形近詞辨析。arise“發(fā)生，出現(xiàn)”；rise“升起，上升”；raise“舉起，抬起”；arouse“喚醒，引起”。根據(jù)詞意和句意選A項(xiàng)。廣東省梅州市成考專升本英語(yǔ)學(xué)校:________班級(jí):________姓名:________考號(hào):________
