參考答案

1.B解析：第三段中“Swingingittoandfro(來回?cái)[動(dòng))createsacoolingbreathofairandkeepsawayinsects.”點(diǎn)明了該題的答案。

2.B第二段中說到，一位日本的理療醫(yī)師說，藍(lán)色被認(rèn)作是天空和海洋，有讓心情焦躁的人或受到某個(gè)特殊事件刺激的人平靜下來的作用。選項(xiàng)C中的0nly不合題意，太絕對(duì)了。

3.C這是一道歸納題，第一段是說人并不是生來就聰明，或生來就笨，而是和我們的環(huán)境有很大關(guān)系。第二段，第三段分別就這一觀點(diǎn)展開討論，說明人的智力一方面是天生的，一方面受環(huán)境影響，這之智力為中心論點(diǎn)。所以C正確。

4.D解析：本題屬細(xì)節(jié)題。由文章第二段第三句中的“peopleofallages”可知：所有年齡階段的人都玩電腦游戲。

5.C本題為細(xì)節(jié)推理題。從第二段最后一句“TheredorwhiteroseisrecognizedastheofficialFather’sDayflower”可知人們?cè)诟赣H節(jié)時(shí)送紅玫瑰或白玫瑰。

6.C解析：通過上下文可知，hence這里就是“因此”的意思。

7.A

8.C39．答案為C。根據(jù)題干找到第二段第二句，It'ssimplybecauseyouhavenotyetdiscoveredthefunitcanbetowrite作出該項(xiàng)選擇。

9.B

10.A

11.A解析：文章末尾講到“customerscouldhave．．．toorder”表明顧客能據(jù)實(shí)際需要或計(jì)劃訂貨，故選A。

12.D參見本文第一句。

13.B解析：根據(jù)Peoplewhoworkatnight可以找到其在原文中的出處：最后一段第一句。去掉和題干重復(fù)的信息后所剩的“mayfacethegreatestrisks”就是答案。再根據(jù)后面的“Nighttimeexposuretowhitelightcancausethegrowthoftumors(腫瘤)，experimentsshow.”判斷這種危險(xiǎn)就是身體健康方面的危險(xiǎn)。

14.B

15.C詞義猜測(cè)題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】第七句解釋了這個(gè)詞語的意思，即強(qiáng)者生存，弱者滅亡，以這種方式控制種群的數(shù)量。

16.D解析：閱讀第四、五、六段可知，Roger是想讓理發(fā)師知道上次他理的有多糟糕，故本題答案應(yīng)選D。

17.D解析：指動(dòng)物做一個(gè)表演，就給它一些吃的東西。

18.C

19.C根據(jù)文中第一段第二句中“sincetheywerepiecesofraremetal”指出，硬幣正是因?yàn)樗鼈冏陨淼膬r(jià)值因此被用作貨幣的。

20.C解析：本題考查的是對(duì)詞語的理解能力。Standonone'sownfeet的意思是“可以獨(dú)當(dāng)一面，獨(dú)立工作”。

21.C解析：第三段。地方組織是由普通人組成的，他們相信大赦國(guó)際的工作。

22.A根據(jù)第三段的強(qiáng)調(diào)句itisthecustomer’swhopayforadvertisement可知，正是消費(fèi)者為廣告付費(fèi)。

23.A參考文章第六段。

24.DBilly是歌星，他寫歌，并演唱。

25.B解析：見原文第一、第二段。火勢(shì)蔓延迅速，為安全起見，居民被撤離。

26.C解析：全文最后一句表達(dá)了此意。

27.C解析：參見第二段。

28.C解析：參見倒數(shù)第一段和第二段。

29.A解析：本題屬判斷正誤題。由文章第二段最后一句可知，并不是所有的死尸都被其他動(dòng)物吃了。

30.C根據(jù)文章第一段第二句，可知REM一晚上發(fā)生四到五次。

31.A

32.B解析：本題測(cè)試形容詞辨義。由文義中“嚴(yán)重的問題”可以判斷只有B項(xiàng)是對(duì)的。

33.C

34.A

35.D

36.C

37.B解析：對(duì)于她個(gè)人的生活人們知道得很少。

38.D

39.B根據(jù)overtheradioandtelevisionnet—works可以確定答案為spread，意思為“語言的傳播”。

40.D上文講完了那個(gè)聾啞人的故事，下文又來了一個(gè)盲人，故應(yīng)選D項(xiàng)。

41.C解析：就在2001年1月6日那一天。

42.C解析：本題考查辨別詞義。event意為“事件”chance意為“機(jī)會(huì)”occasion意為“時(shí)機(jī)，場(chǎng)合”：affair意為“事件，事情”。根據(jù)上下丈，過生日應(yīng)該是一種場(chǎng)合。

43.Dontherise為詞組，意為“逐步上升”。

44.A解析：本題屬推理題。本句話要表達(dá)的意思是：他們忘記了游客能給他們國(guó)家的經(jīng)濟(jì)帶來多大的好處。故答案為A．forget(忘記)。

45.D

46.A解析：這道題易誤選B選項(xiàng)where，因?yàn)榇丝涨盀橐坏孛＿@個(gè)空開始到句末為一定語從句，由when引出。在這個(gè)定語從句中地點(diǎn)已交代得非常清楚(wewereseated)aroundthetable。這個(gè)空之前的atuncleAllen'sinBelleville也是地點(diǎn)狀語的一部分，因此先行詞應(yīng)是theevening，后接when引出定語從句。

47.D解析：聽聽那些在政府辦公室的候選人怎么說吧。

48.A

49.D解析：因果關(guān)系，用therefore．

50.A解析：用餐時(shí)間很忙，故用mealtimes。

51.Cdistinguish“區(qū)別，辯別”；contrast“對(duì)比，對(duì)照”；compare“比較，對(duì)照”；separate為“使分離，使分開”。

52.D從題意判斷‘‘音樂聲”是“分散(我的注意力)的東西”。distract是動(dòng)詞,distraction是名詞。

53.Cmakeup意為"構(gòu)成、虛構(gòu)、編制”，makeout是“寫出，辯認(rèn)出”之意，makefor為“走向，導(dǎo)致”，這三個(gè)選擇均不符合題意。makeupfor的意義為“彌補(bǔ)”，符合題意。

54.A本題考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞和虛擬語氣。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意："-3我們到達(dá)車站的時(shí)候，火車還沒有到達(dá)，因此我們本不必這么匆忙。根據(jù)句意，后半句應(yīng)用虛擬語氣。needn’thavedone意為“本不必”。

55.B主語是表示人的名詞或代詞時(shí)，要用pay…for這一搭配，不可用take或cost，所以C和D都不符合。spend可以用，但要用sped…on這一搭配。

56.B解析：在句型“itishightimethat…”中，從句謂語用過去式表示虛擬。

57.A

58.Bwouldyoulikesb．todosth．=wouldyoulikesb．’sdoingsth．這兩個(gè)句式都表示建議。

59.B解析：remain意為“逗留(在某處)”，指繼續(xù)待在或存在于某處，繼續(xù)保持某種狀態(tài)。leave作不及物動(dòng)詞時(shí)，意為“離開”，作及物動(dòng)詞時(shí)，意為“留下”，表示“某人留下”要用被動(dòng)語態(tài)。delay意為“延遲，拖延，耽擱”。desert作動(dòng)詞時(shí)表示“丟開，拋棄”。

60.C在“Itis(was)+time+that從句”的句型中，要使用虛擬語氣，即that從句中的謂語動(dòng)詞要用一般過去時(shí)。江西省九江市成考專升本英語學(xué)校:________班級(jí):________姓名:________考號(hào):________
