參考答案

1.B解析：第三段第一行中寫到“becauseofthis”，其中this就是指“shyandtimid”。

2.A解析：從“apoorblackmotheronwelfare”可得出答案應(yīng)選A。

3.C

4.D解析：作者在這篇文章中用說明和舉例的方式提出語言對人的認(rèn)知和感受的重要影響。作者在第一段就指出移民家庭的兩代人由于母語的不同而造成的對個人特征認(rèn)知和感受的困惑。第二段用作者自己的親屬為例說明這一困惑。第三段強(qiáng)調(diào)應(yīng)當(dāng)教授第二代移民自己父母的語言以明確他們的特征。

5.A解析：第二段。Deserted被拋棄的。原句的意思是：被拋棄的suitor會威脅說吃西紅柿使情人悔恨。提到情人，可以斷定suitor是相愛雙方的一方。Suitor追求者，通常指男性。選項A是正確的。

6.B

7.D

8.D文中倒數(shù)第四句提到意大利人依靠電視來告訴他們發(fā)生什么，正好與D項對應(yīng)。

9.C解析：此題為細(xì)節(jié)、理解題。文中的第4段明確地闡述了事情發(fā)生的經(jīng)過，郵票的問題在于是用詞錯誤，并非是拼寫錯誤，故C為正確答案。

10.C

11.B解析：本題為細(xì)節(jié)推理題。最后一段說“Eventhedistinctionbetweendayandnightislost”，白天和黑夜的區(qū)別都沒有了，為什么?再看上一段作者指出，城市里“Tallbuildingsblotoutthesun”，高樓遮住了太陽，由此可推斷B選項正確。

12.A文中第七句提到，日本用于教育類節(jié)目的時間占60％。所以選A項。

13.C

14.A解析：承認(rèn)生活不公平，因而要努力創(chuàng)造美好生活。這是全文的主題，也是作者對于生活的積極態(tài)度。

15.D解析：她為了看望Dagmar假裝成一名清潔工。

16.A

17.A解析：見原文倒數(shù)第三段。Webster夫婦是瑪麗的養(yǎng)父母。

18.C

19.B解析：本題為細(xì)節(jié)辨認(rèn)題。第三段第四句講到“Thesteelwiresusedaregalvanized—coatedwithzinc(鋅)tomakethemrustproof”，也就是說，用來制鐵絲網(wǎng)的鋼絲經(jīng)過鍍鋅后以防生銹。

20.B解析：這道題考查句意理解。劃線的句子是：Whateasierwayisthereforanurse，apoliceman，ahairdresser，orawaitertoloseprofessionalidentitythantostepoutofuniform?這句話可譯為：“一個護(hù)士、警察、理發(fā)師或者餐廳服務(wù)員要想讓別人看不出自己的身份的話，還有什么比脫下制服更易行的方法呢?”換句話說，也就是B選項所說的people'sidentitycanberecognizedmoreeasilybytheiruniforms“人們的職業(yè)身份更易于根據(jù)他們的制服辨認(rèn)出來”。其他選項的意思分別為：A選項it'simpossibleforpeoplewithjobstolosetheiridentity“有工作的人不可能失去身份”，C選項nursesandpolicemenmustwearuniformswhenworking“護(hù)士和警察上班時必須穿制服”，D選項peopleinthoseprofessionsactinaneasierwaywithoutuniforms“從事這些職業(yè)的人不穿制服時行事更不受拘束?！边@些都不是劃線句子的原意。

21.A推理判斷題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】由文章第二段倒數(shù)第二句可知，約翰遜說他每晚在脖子上注射的意思是，他每晚喝一杯威士忌酒。

22.C解析：第二段中提到，壓力會影響到呼吸(respiratory)系統(tǒng)，會引起哮喘癥(asthma)，使人呼吸加快。

23.B文中第二段具體分析了地下的優(yōu)點，比如干凈、空氣好、無交通阻塞問題等。

24.C

25.A在文中第四段第一句“Getofftoaslowstartwhichsavesyourenergy．”后，接著就寫到了具體的例子，因此答案選A項。

26.C參見第一段。

27.D

28.C

29.A解析：參見句子：Acandidate'sprofessionalqualificationsincludehiseducation,experienceandskills.

30.D文章第四段第四句表明，哥白尼在朋友的建議下出了書。

31.B副詞however表示前后兩句之間的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，但后面往往用逗號隔開，因此此處yet(然而)符合題意。

32.D解析：有些人以為他們也在選舉自己的總統(tǒng)。事實上他們選舉的不是總統(tǒng)。再重申一下，他們選舉的是代表。而這些被選出來的代表叫選舉人。他們是選舉團(tuán)的成員。

33.D27．前面已經(jīng)說了，在座位間進(jìn)出不方便，是因為腿礙事。Intheway擋道兒，固定短語。選項D是正確的。

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

35.B解析：memberofthefamily表“家庭成員”。

36.A解析：根據(jù)后面主句的時態(tài)，此處只能用一般過去時。

37.D在咖啡里，用in。D項是正確的。

38.D解析：現(xiàn)在，電視的屏幕更大，色彩及豐富。

39.C

40.A長期來說，用inthelongrun。而intheshortrun表示的意思正好反，意思是“短期來講”，不合邏輯；quick，slow意思都不合適。故選A。

41.B解析：根據(jù)上段描述，作者已經(jīng)沒有地方放更多的書了，所以應(yīng)選B選項room“空間”。C選項(haveno)idea的意思是“不知道”，為一固定表達(dá)。A選項money和D選項interest均離題意太遠(yuǎn)。

42.D解析：inthosedays為一短語，意思是“在過去的那些日子里”。intheirdays意思是“在他們那個時代”。past和last常用在inthelast/pastweek(month，year)中，指“在過去的一個星期/月/年中”，或是用在inthelast/past10years“在過去的10年中”這樣的短語中。

43.C解析：只有pencil才能與pocketcalculator，apieceofpaper同屬一類，用來計算費用。

44.B解析：本題屬詞選題。參照30題。

45.A29．答案為A

固定搭配takeplace表示“發(fā)生”。

46.C解析：手機(jī)還有一個好處是有很多有意思的功能，比如照相。annoyed意為“煩悶的”；interested意為“感興趣的”。這兩個詞的主語通常是人，有被動的意思。interesting意為“有意思的”；annoying意為“令人煩悶的”。這兩個詞的主語通常是事件。

47.C解析：通過forfifteenpoundsandfiftypence和上文意思可確定C選項cheque，意思是“支票”。D選項price應(yīng)后接介詞of，而不是for，而且與上文不符。其他選項偏離更遠(yuǎn)，可排除。

48.D此處是固定短語，形成某種習(xí)慣，用form.thehabitof。而breakthehabit“擺脫某種習(xí)慣”，意思剛好相反；A項change“改變”；C項support“支持”，意思都不合適，故選D。

49.Aonfoot“步行”是固定短語。

50.D

51.C本題考查固定搭配。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：我認(rèn)為這部電影不值得再看一遍。表示“值得做……”用(be)worthdoin9，注意這里的動名詞doing就表示被動的意思，所以不用beingseen。

52.B本題考查動詞辨析。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：人們要保持健康的最佳方式之一是養(yǎng)成健康的飲食習(xí)慣。develop發(fā)展；grow成長；increase加大，增加；raise提高。

53.Dend是“結(jié)尾”；point是“點，觀點”；edge是“邊緣”；tip是“尖端”。

54.C根據(jù)題意，“他父親動身去澳大利亞”是在“吉姆到家”前已完成的動作，即表示將來某一時刻前業(yè)已完成的動作。用將來完成時態(tài)，shall(will)have+過去分詞。

55.C本題考查forget的用法。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：你忘了把它還給我。我昨天沒有忘記我把它給你了。forgettod0忘記做某事；forgetdoin9忘記做過某事，事情已經(jīng)做過了。

56.D表示在某個方面用介詞in。

57.D13．這句話講的是已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事情，應(yīng)用一般過去時。選項D是正確的。

58.C解析：as引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句時，表語常放在as前面。

59.D解析：本題考查代詞的用法。it形式賓語指代后句中的“toreachthetown...”。

60.B解析：主語由neither...nor連接時，謂語形式由最鄰近的主語的單復(fù)數(shù)形式?jīng)Q定。浙江省麗水市成考專升本英語學(xué)校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
