參考答案

1.B解析：本題考查的是對細節(jié)的把握能力。該題可以從文章第一段第三句Ibegannoticingthattheotherfellowswereoverchargingpassengers得出答案。overcharging的意思是“索價過高”。

2.D

3.D

4.B解析：參見原文第一句。

5.B解析：第三段整段都在描述這對夫婦的危險境地，他們采取的冒險的自救方式等等，這些都充滿了危險。選項B是正確的。unexpected“出人意料的”；dangerous“危險的”；unusual“不平常的”；ridiculous“愚蠢的”。

6.C見原文第四段。盡管護士們不喜歡它。艾頓醫(yī)療中心還堅持使用它，目的是為了方便病人。

8.D第一段提到兒童如果不正確地配戴眼鏡，會加重視力的損害。D項是正確的。create“創(chuàng)造”和train“訓練”都不合句意。

9.C解析：以Sam為例告訴讀者如何解決問題。這也是全篇的中心。選項C是正確的。

10.B解析：第二段。文中提及人口的增長，并說在未來要生產(chǎn)如今產(chǎn)量4倍的食品?？梢娙丝诘脑鲩L是很嚴重的。選項B是正確的。其他選項文章未提及。

16.D解析：第二、三、四段。政府認為應當限制煤煙的排放量，以減少空氣中的污染顆粒。工廠是排放煤煙最多的地方，應當加以限制。但政府認為，住宅也應受此限制，減少煤煙的排放。新的法律規(guī)定住宅必須安裝新型的低煙壁爐，否則，在污染比較嚴重的時期，這些住戶是不能使用他們的壁爐的。

17.C解析：第二段提到閱讀過多會造成眼睛疲勞。選項C是正確的。

18.C解析：參見最后一段。

19.C解析：本題屬主旨題。文章第一、二段講的是：科學家所解釋的一些問題。最后一句是本文的主旨所在。

21.C解析：參見第三段。這種鳥也吃獵人射殺的死物。而獵人所用的子彈的鉛毒已浸透到死物的肉體中。因此當鳥吃了這種死物時也就同時中了毒。

22.C解析：主旨理解題。全文一開頭就點明了“openingabankaccountisnotverydiffcult．Thetroubleisfindingthecashtoputinit”；然后指出學生的收入不高，銀行可以怎么樣來幫助學生打理手頭有限的資金；最后提出“Isuggestyouopenyouraccounttoday．”同時還不忘順便提及“ifyouopenanaccountthismonth，we'llgiveyoufreeaspeciallydesignedlecturenotefolderwithaclipboard，padandball-point"以便吸引學生來該行進行儲蓄。

23.D解析：從上下文進行推測可知。

24.C

33.A

34.A解析：據(jù)上下文提到“morning”，所以用“earlyintheday”，表示早晨。

35.A詞義辨析題。

【指導】此句意為：在印度，甚至在全世界還有像他這樣的人嗎?這里應填介詞，表示“像……一樣”，用like。as也有“像……一樣”的意思，但只用作連詞。as用作介詞，指“作為”。with“與……一起”和before“在……之前”不符合題意。

36.D解析：這里指蘋果里面的籽。蘋果成熟之后，里面的籽就成了種子。

37.A解析：根據(jù)下一句及隨后的內(nèi)容，作者講的是怎樣成為動物愛好者的(從小就喜歡動物)。

41.D23．答案為D

本題為詞組固定搭配。Notonly...(but)also“不但……而且”。

46.B文意理解題。應該是“他們結了婚的兒女”，“結了婚的”應該是“married”，故選B。

47.A根據(jù)句意可知，應選takesth．a(chǎn)way(把……拿走／帶走)。

48.B解析：過去完成時態(tài)，表示在做這個動作之前作者不知道腿是可以拆卸的。選項B是正確的。

49.B

50.C解析：這是一篇關于倫敦戰(zhàn)后生活的短文。根據(jù)上下文，此處作者強調(diào)即便是20多年前的事情了，他對當時的情景仍然記憶猶新。

51.A13．答案為A

表示應做的事。

52.D本題考查日常交際用語。

【應試指導】句意：——你介意我在這里吸煙嗎?——是的，你最好不要吸煙。Doyoumind…?句型用來表示請求對方的許可，即詢問對方是否介意。如果同意，答語用否定形式，如果不同意，答語用肯定形式。所以，如果答語是N0，表示不介意，一般用helpyourself，排除A、B兩項。如果答語是Yes，表示介意，不同意，故D項是正確答案。

53.B

12．答案為B

在條件或時間狀語從句中，用一般現(xiàn)在時代替將來時。

54.C本題考查非謂語動詞?

【應試指導】句意：杰克沒受邀請就來參加晚會。without為介詞，后接動名詞。句子主語“杰克”與“邀請”之間為被動關系，應用beinginvited。

55.B19．答案為B

句中sincewhen表示從何時起到現(xiàn)在為止，句中謂語要用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)。

56.B

57.B解析：本題測試搭配。onguardagainst為固定搭配，意為“提防”。本句大意為：警方提醒人們節(jié)日期間提防入室盜竊。

58.Cbeduetosth．應歸于、由于。Beresponsibleforsth．對……負有責任。他生病是因為勞累過度。

59.Ccan’t(couldn’t)helpdoingsth．是一個常用的搭配，意為“忍不住做某事”。

60.D后者是問話，因此詞序上應是主謂倒裝；問話表示不肯定，同時又強調(diào)的是結果：錢包在的地方。因此用不太肯定的might和現(xiàn)在完成時更恰當。我找不著錢包了。你是不是把它落在家里了?江蘇省徐州市成考專升本英語學校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
