SectionB:Therearemorethantwelveerrorsinthegivenpassage.Youare

expectedtofindouttenofthemendwritedownthecorrectansweraswellas

thedetectederrorsontheAnswerSheet.

【答案與解析】

21.which→inwhich/where

（whichphoenixesandunicornsarequiteasimportantashorsesanddogs這

個(gè)從句是修飾先行詞world的，且world在從句中作地點(diǎn)狀語，故應(yīng)用in

which或?qū)hich改為where。）

22.talks→talk

（該句主語為someofthehorses，為復(fù)數(shù)，故謂語動(dòng)詞應(yīng)為單數(shù)形式。）

23.called→calling

（句意：隨便舉一個(gè)例子就是，莎士比亞被叫做“艾馮河的詩人”。句子

主語是example，如果用called則表示“例子被稱為……”，這里應(yīng)該是call

Shakespeare…，“把莎士比亞叫做…”存在主動(dòng)邏輯關(guān)系，故用

calling。）

24.their→its

（句意：斯特拉特福德鎮(zhèn)的河里一直飼養(yǎng)著天鵝，有一部分原因是保留

文學(xué)典故。河指的是這個(gè)鎮(zhèn)的河，故用its。）

25.are→were

（本句講的是莎士比亞那個(gè)時(shí)代的詩人，應(yīng)該用一般過去時(shí)。）

26.produced→producing

（前一句說那些詩人不愿意承認(rèn)他們是在寫作，該句說他們堅(jiān)持說是在

創(chuàng)作音樂。所以produce的形式應(yīng)與前一句werewriting保持一致，用過

去進(jìn)行時(shí)。）

27.depended→depending

（depend作為本句中的非謂語動(dòng)詞，與主語everyotherkindofpoeticeffort

是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用ing形式。）

28.they→it

（本句指的是天鵝不會(huì)唱歌，指代的是前一句中的theswan。the＋可數(shù)

名詞單數(shù)可表示一類事物，此處指的就是天鵝這一種動(dòng)物，代詞用it即

可。）

29.their→its

（前面用的是itsang，所以本處要用its與之對(duì)應(yīng)。）

30.kinds→kind

（主語為it，所以后面kind應(yīng)為單數(shù)形式。）

【答案與解析】

31.Bupsanddowns表示盛衰、起伏。此處指每對(duì)情侶在交往過程中經(jīng)

32.C由題干中的racialandculturaldifferences定位到第二段首句Our

racialandculturaldifferencesenhancedourrelationshipandtaughtusagreat

dealabouttolerance,compromise,andbeingopenwitheachother，由此可

知，他們從種族和文化差異中學(xué)會(huì)了忍耐、妥協(xié)與坦誠相對(duì)。C項(xiàng)“自

信”并未提到。

33.A由第三段末句Thecontinualsourceofourstrengthwasourmutual

trustandrespect，可直接得出答案。

34.B由最后一段末句Gail’sparents,afterthirty-fiveyearsofmarriage,

weregoingthroughabitterandpainfuldivorce，可知Gail父母的婚姻維持

了35年。

D.becausetheypreventonefromfindingouttheadvantagesofother

countries

【答案與解析】

35.A綜合第一段內(nèi)容可知，在“蜜月”階段，你會(huì)對(duì)異域文化感到興

奮，喜歡那里的一切，感覺每個(gè)人都很友好，生活十分快樂。所以A項(xiàng)

符合文意。

36.D根據(jù)第三段首句Usuallyatthispointinyouradjustmenttoanew

culture,youdevisesomedefensemechanismstohelpyoucopeandtoprotect

yourselfagainsttheeffectsofcultureshock，可知到第二階段，你會(huì)想出

一些保護(hù)自己免受文化沖擊影響的防守辦法。故選D。

37.B文章最后一段指出了四種防守辦法repression、regression、

isolation、rejection，故A、C、D三項(xiàng)正確，B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。

38.A作者在講到第三種方法“isolation”時(shí)，說到Isolationisoneofthe

worstcopingmechanismsyoucanusebecauseitseparatesyoufromthose

thingsthatcouldreallyhelpyou，可以看出作者認(rèn)為將自己與外界隔絕開

不是個(gè)好辦法，因?yàn)闀?huì)阻礙你得到幫助。所以要謹(jǐn)慎地運(yùn)用這些防守辦

法。A項(xiàng)“因?yàn)榭赡軙?huì)阻礙你調(diào)整自我適應(yīng)新文化”符合文意。

【答案與解析】

39.B根據(jù)第三段第一句ThisissuewasdefinedseveralyearsagobyWalter

Lippmann…theymustbeindependenttheymustbedisinterested，可知

Lippmann認(rèn)為大學(xué)應(yīng)獨(dú)立于社會(huì)。故選B。

40.D第四段講的是和Lippmann觀點(diǎn)相反的另一方的觀點(diǎn)：大學(xué)承載著

我們的理想和道德追求，不該置身事外。而且Lippmann在第三段中談到

大學(xué)應(yīng)獨(dú)立于社會(huì)，不應(yīng)受到政治和私人利益的控制，可推斷出另一方

認(rèn)為大學(xué)應(yīng)該積極參與到社會(huì)問題的解決當(dāng)中。故選D。

41.C由第一段首句Oneofthemostinterestingparadoxes...auniversity

shouldbe,andwhetheritismeasuringup可知，paradox指的是哈佛大學(xué)作

為美國最古老的高等院校，如今竟在討論大學(xué)的功能及哈佛是否符合理

想大學(xué)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。也就是說作者認(rèn)為哈佛作為一所歷史悠久的名校本應(yīng)清

楚地明白大學(xué)的功能，但如今卻對(duì)此展開了嚴(yán)肅的討論。所以推斷出

paradox的意思是“自相矛盾之處，悖論”。

42.C由最后一段內(nèi)容可知，如今的哈佛人對(duì)他們的政治目標(biāo)、學(xué)習(xí)目

標(biāo)等感到不確定與困惑，內(nèi)心很掙扎。哈佛人對(duì)于大學(xué)應(yīng)獨(dú)立于社會(huì)還

是積極參與政治和社會(huì)變革的討論的結(jié)果將會(huì)影響美國的大學(xué)和政治生

活。這說明討論還沒有最終定論。故選C。

apology可知如果會(huì)面時(shí)遲到20分鐘的話就必須做出嚴(yán)肅、完整的道

歉。故選B。

44.A根據(jù)第三段第二、三句Anthropologistslistthetoughestthingsto

copewithinaforeignland.Secondonlytolanguageisthewaywedealwith

time，在國外生活第一大障礙是語言，第二大障礙是時(shí)間觀念的差異。

故選A。

45.D根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段AmongAmericancities…slowestpaceofallis

keptinLosAngeles可知，在美國所有城市當(dāng)中，洛杉磯市的生活節(jié)奏最

慢，加利福尼亞州的居民喜歡把事情推延又是眾所周知的。再加上洛杉

磯是加利福尼亞州下轄城市，所以D項(xiàng)“加州人生活節(jié)奏可能比美國其他

州慢”是正確的。

46.C文章最后一段說到吸煙是導(dǎo)致心臟病的最主要原因，但其實(shí)患心

臟病也與生活節(jié)奏有關(guān)。所以可以推斷作者認(rèn)為生活節(jié)奏快對(duì)身體健康

是不利的，我們的生活不應(yīng)該完全受時(shí)間掌控。C項(xiàng)符合文意。

【答案與解析】

47.D由最后一段前四句可知，電影制作人不應(yīng)該為了擔(dān)心觀眾感到無

聊就不展示影片細(xì)節(jié)，不應(yīng)該因?yàn)榍榫凹澎o就加入背景音樂。不能為了

去吸引觀眾就插入一些與主題不太相關(guān)的情節(jié)。藝術(shù)片就應(yīng)該展現(xiàn)其本

真的面貌。D項(xiàng)符合文意。

48.C結(jié)合整個(gè)文章可以看出重點(diǎn)講的是藝術(shù)片如何能給觀眾帶來全新

的對(duì)于世界的認(rèn)知。所以C正確。

49.A第一二段提出如今藝術(shù)片效果不佳，未能給觀眾帶來新的對(duì)于世

界的認(rèn)知。第三段提出出現(xiàn)這種問題的原因，其中之一是藝術(shù)家與電影

制作人沒有形成良好的合作。第四段提出電影制作人、藝術(shù)家分別怎么

做才能解決這一問題。故A項(xiàng)正確。

50.A綜合第一二三四段的內(nèi)容：第一二段提出如今藝術(shù)片效果不佳，

未能給觀眾帶來新的對(duì)于世界的認(rèn)知。第三段提出出現(xiàn)這種問題的原

因，其中之一是藝術(shù)家與電影制作人沒有形成良好的合作。第四段提出

電影制作人、藝術(shù)家分別怎么做才能解決這一問題，可知A項(xiàng)符合文章

中心思想。
