5.Thepresentsituationinabouthalfoftheslatesisthatthegraduated

licensingsystem______.

A.isunderdiscussion

B.isabouttobesetup

C.hasbeenputintoeffect

D.hasbeenperfected

【答案與解析】

1.B文章第一段倒數(shù)第二句“thedeathratesforteenagedriversincreased

dramaticallyafter10p.m.”由此可見青年人深夜開車是危險的，B項正

確。而第二句說“a16-year-olddriverwiththreeormorepassengersisthree

times…ateenagerdrivingalone”，可知C項錯誤，不是adults。

2.C第二段第一句“thehigherdeathratesforteenagedrivers…justalackof

drivingexperience”說明青少年駕車死亡率較高主要是由于缺乏駕駛經(jīng)

驗，故選C。

3.D第二段最后一句“adultswhoareresponsibleforissuinglicensesfailto

recognizehowcomplexandskilledataskdrivingis”，意思是“最根本的問

題是發(fā)證機關(guān)沒有意識到駕駛是一項多么復(fù)雜和技術(shù)性的工作”，可以

推斷發(fā)證機關(guān)對車禍的發(fā)生也有一定責(zé)任，因此D項正確。

4.D第四段第一句“thewaytomitigate(使……緩解)theproblemistohave

statesinstituteso-calledgraduatedlicensingsystems”說明駕照系統(tǒng)需要改

進，故選D。

5.C最后一段第二句“havesomesortofgraduatedlicensingsystemin

place”意思就是putintoeffect，故選C。

B.Formalschoolingislessimportantthanjobtraining.

C.On-the-jobtrainingis,inthelongrun,lesscostly.

D.Generalistswilloutdospecialistsinmanagement.

【答案與解析】

6.C第二段最后一句“Largecompanieslike…formaleducationcoupled

withworkexperience”，可知學(xué)歷和經(jīng)驗兼有的人們在人才市場上占優(yōu)

勢。故選C。

7.B該段第三句句意：工商管理碩士在剛開始進入公司并且得到高一些

的薪水會有作用，但五年以后這個學(xué)位的影響力便要不復(fù)存在了。由此

可推知MBA雖然可以有更多機會進入公司，但經(jīng)過一段時間后，在晉

升等各方面這個學(xué)位便不再有什么作用，而要看一個人真正的能力。故

B項正確。

8.A根據(jù)第三段最后，公司需要“notconstrained”的人，而不是“people

justinspecializeddegrees”。所以A項正確，靈活具有戰(zhàn)略性頭腦的人們

是市場的需要。

9.A第四段最后“Liberal-artsmeansanacademicallythorough…youcan

feelfreetospecialize”，可以看出“l(fā)iberal-artspeople”在各個方面都會有涉

獵，而不是只專注于一方面而對其他一無所知，因此他們會很靈活，可

以在不同情況下處理不同的問題。故A項是DavidBirch的原因，B，C，

D均不符合文中意思。

10.D文章的焦點在于對generalists和specialists在工作中哪一種會更有效

更出色進行分析探討，并得出結(jié)論generalists比specialists更靈活更有戰(zhàn)

略性。而在“hirefees”“trainingfees”以及“thecomparisonbetweenformal

schoolingandjobtraining”方面，文章并沒有討論。故A，B，C均不正

確。

C.Emotionaltearscangiveriseto“dryeye”syndromeinsomecases.

D.Environmentalpollutantscaninducethesheddingofemotionaltears.

【答案與解析】

11.A第二句“tearsmakeAmericansfeeluncomfortableandembarrassed”，

可知A項正確。

12.C整體看第一段可知，“thoseresponses”指的是前面的“theshedderof

tearsislikelytoapologize和theobserveroftearsistoputanendtothe

emotionaloutpouring”，因此C項正確。

13.Dcounter前綴是“逆，相反的”意思，據(jù)文中所寫，研究的是“the

linksbetweenillnessandcrying”，可以推測counterproductive是“對身體有

害”的意思，故選D。

14.B第二段最后“cryinghasoneormorefunctionsthatenhance

survival”，可知哭在人類進化生存中起作用，故B項正確。

15.A第四段第一句“thenewstudiessuggestthatemotionaltearsmayplaya

directroleinalleviatingstress”，可知眼淚可以緩和壓力，故A項正確。

D.illnesscausingfatigueshouldnotbemistakenforovertrainingsyndrome

【答案與解析】

16.B第一段整體都在講訓(xùn)練之后的rest對運動員performance的提高。故

B項正確。從第二和第三句話“hardtrainingbreaksyoudown…restthat

makesyoustronger”可知A和C不正確。從第四句話“Improvementonly

occursduringtherestperiod”可知D項也錯誤。

17.C從第二段中的“imbalancebetweenexcesstrainingandinadequate

rest”可知overtraining意思是過度訓(xùn)練以至于得不到足夠的休息，故答案

C正確。

18.D第二段最后一句“Itismarkedbycumulativeexhaustionthatpersists

evenafterrecoveryperiods”，可知過度訓(xùn)練會引起身體的勞累甚至在恢

復(fù)期后這種勞累依然存在。故答案D正確。

19.Cleveloff意為：穩(wěn)定，保持平穩(wěn)。在此句中應(yīng)聯(lián)系與performance的

搭配，以及后面的decrease，因此可猜出，在此句應(yīng)意為：沒有進步，

沒有提高。該句句意：如果運動員表現(xiàn)出持續(xù)疲憊的狀態(tài)或者其成績沒

有提高甚至下滑，那么就應(yīng)該考慮是否有過度訓(xùn)練綜合癥。

20.D根據(jù)最后一句話的意思“把任何潛在的由疾病引起的疲乏排除在

外，這很重要”，可知作者在最后建議區(qū)別不同的fatigue，是由illness引

起的還是由overtrainingsyndrome引起的。故選D。

D.Someagentsstopsendinginformationtopeopleoncetheyareemployed.

【答案與解析】

21.C從第一段可知Redmon使用了database里的一個“personalsearch

agent”，將他的個人資料輸進去，一個有相關(guān)職位的公司就給他了E-

mail，這樣他得到了第一份工作。故選C。B項是由公司或雇主方要做的

事情。

22.D第二段最后一句“everytimeyouansweraquestionyoueliminatea

possibility”，可知searchagent縮小了范圍，因此成功的機會也會減少。

故選D。

23.D從后面的“consideritareminder”可知，把agent當(dāng)作tipservice來使

用時，它起的是一個reminder的作用。

24.B第四段第一句“somesitesdesigntheiragentstotemptjobhuntersto

return”可知答案B正確。

25.C最后一段第一句“thosewhoaren’tbuntingforjobsfindsearchagents

worthwhile”，可知對于已經(jīng)有工作的人searchagents也是有幫助的，故C

項正確。A項說searchagents是不可缺少的，文中沒有提到。B項和D項

文中也沒有提到。

【答案與解析】

1.Aadmit承認(rèn)。believe相信。claim要求；主張。predict預(yù)測。根據(jù)下

文，這里是一個轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，他們承認(rèn)工業(yè)化提高了生活水平，但是堅持

認(rèn)為……，所以選A。

2.B形容人時：average指常人，普通老百姓。plain樸素的；不漂亮的。

mean卑鄙的；吝嗇的。normal正常的。

3.Dimmediate立即的，直接的。momentary瞬間的，短暫的。prompt迅

速的，敏捷的。instant立即的，即刻的。本題關(guān)鍵要注意的已知信息點

是后邊的一個時間段“duringtheperiodfrom1750to1850”，正是這個時

間段決定了不可能選擇momentary，prompt以及instant這三個均表示時間

短的詞。而immediate在這里就是要表達(dá)工業(yè)革命“直接的結(jié)果”這個意

思，所以D正確。

4.Athebulkof大部分，多半。ahostof許多。gross總額；毛的，總的。

magnitude大小，數(shù)量，一般指巨大，廣大，重要程度。

5.Dbycontrast對比起來，相比之下。

6.Dcompletely完全地，強調(diào)廣義上的全面性。broadly意為“概括性地；

大概地”，與generally意思相近。thoroughly徹底地，強調(diào)具體方面、細(xì)

節(jié)方面的徹底性。generally廣泛地，普遍地，概括地。

7.A文章結(jié)構(gòu)表明，文章第二段和第一段內(nèi)容正好相反。選項所在的句

子又是段落主題句，所以應(yīng)該選擇表示語義轉(zhuǎn)折的關(guān)聯(lián)詞。however意

為“然而”，符合上下文的轉(zhuǎn)折語義。meanwhile意為“同時”，表示時間遞

進關(guān)系。therefore意為“因此”，表示因果關(guān)系。moreover意為“此外”，

表示上下文語義遞進關(guān)系。

8.Bin表示某方面、領(lǐng)域里的專家。句子中specialistsinhistoryand

economics指歷史學(xué)和經(jīng)濟學(xué)家。常用搭配specializein在……有專長。

at，about和for三項都不符合搭配習(xí)慣。

9.Cshow意為“說明，表明，證明”，等于prove的意思。manifest意為“清

楚表示，明白顯示”，是正式用語。approve贊成，批準(zhǔn)；同意，滿意。

speculate意為“揣測，推測，設(shè)想”，是不及物動詞。
