答案解析

I.【文章大意】70多歲的老太太開(kāi)車闖了紅燈，在警察面前她輕松

地把線穿過(guò)針眼，這不僅避免了懲罰，還使多年安全開(kāi)車的紀(jì)錄得以

保持。

1?【解析】選A。詞語(yǔ)辨析題。結(jié)合句意分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知空格后的

句子“thatshehadnever...beenpunishedadrivingoffence."是她

為之驕傲的具體內(nèi)容，即與要填入的名詞為同位關(guān)系，故用fact（事

實(shí)）oaction行動(dòng)；skill技能;age年齡,都不能與that從句形成同位語(yǔ)。

2.【解析】選D。習(xí)語(yǔ)搭配題。根據(jù)句意“她很自豪35年來(lái)從來(lái)沒(méi)有

因?yàn)檫`反交通法規(guī)而受到懲罰。”,punishsb.forsth.由于某事而懲罰

某人。

3.【解析】選D。邏輯推理題。結(jié)合上文知道她始終保持著35年來(lái)

沒(méi)違規(guī)的紀(jì)

錄，但下文說(shuō)到她闖了紅燈，因此說(shuō)那天她差點(diǎn)丟了這個(gè)紀(jì)錄。lose

丟掉，符合句意。keeparecord保持紀(jì)錄。

4.【解析】選C。背景常識(shí)題。警車跟在她后面，用followed,而watched

不妥，因?yàn)橹髡Z(yǔ)是警車，而不是人。chase追趕，根據(jù)上下文可知?jiǎng)幼?/p>

發(fā)生在警察發(fā)現(xiàn)她闖紅燈之前，警車在此之前沒(méi)有理由追趕她或阻

攔(stop)她o

5.【解析】選Ao邏輯推理題。根據(jù)下文的withoutstopping可知她

passaredlight(闖紅燈)，如用go,則要用gobyo

6.【解析】選C。習(xí)語(yǔ)搭配題。此處缺少表語(yǔ)形容詞，因?yàn)橹髡Z(yǔ)為it,相

當(dāng)于itiscertainthat句式,故用certain,不用sure,able,因?yàn)閟ure,able

常以人作主語(yǔ)；like一般不用于這一■句式。

7?【解析】選B。詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。根據(jù)下文第三段的內(nèi)容可知對(duì)她的行

為及年齡做出評(píng)論的是thejudge,故選B項(xiàng)。

8.［解析］選C。習(xí)語(yǔ)搭配題。根據(jù)句意“她年紀(jì)太大了不能再開(kāi)車了”

可知這里是too...to...結(jié)構(gòu)，表示“太....而不能....

9?【解析】選B。詞語(yǔ)辨析題。reason是說(shuō)明某事或某現(xiàn)象的理由，而

cause則指火災(zāi)、水災(zāi)或事故的起因。此處在考查固定句式:thereason

why...isthat...........的原因是....。

10?【解析】選A。詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。根據(jù)上文可知她沒(méi)有在紅燈時(shí)停下來(lái)。

“紅燈”用redlighto

11.【解析】選Ao邏輯推理題。根據(jù)句意“由于年齡老了，她的視力

不行了。''可知選表示原因的介詞，解釋引起前面形容詞weak的原因

要用介詞with,此處相當(dāng)于becauseof。

12.【解析】選B。邏輯推理題。在賓語(yǔ)從句中what很顯然作的是動(dòng)

詞的賓語(yǔ)，可排除speak,因?yàn)橹v某種語(yǔ)言時(shí)它才是及物動(dòng)詞；強(qiáng)調(diào)

說(shuō)話的內(nèi)容用say。

13?【解析】選Co詞語(yǔ)辨析題。根據(jù)句意可知她拿出了隨身攜帶的

手提包。表示隨身攜帶，不強(qiáng)調(diào)方向性，用carry,而bring則表示由遠(yuǎn)

往近帶來(lái)。

14?【解析】選D。詞語(yǔ)辨析題。此處是挑了一根小眼的針，用took,

brought和picked都要加up或out。

15.【解析】選Co邏輯推理題。從下文內(nèi)容來(lái)看，老太太顯然是成

功了。修飾動(dòng)詞用副詞。

16?【解析】選A。詞語(yǔ)辨析題。根據(jù)句意可知此處指針和線兩者，所

以用botho

17?【解析】選B。習(xí)語(yǔ)搭配題。*syourturn表示輪到你了。很顯然

老太太想讓警察穿針來(lái)證明她眼神很好。

18?【解析】選D。詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。根據(jù)后面說(shuō)他要threadit,可知他要

把線穿過(guò)針眼。剛談過(guò)針線之事。

19?【解析】選A。邏輯推理題。根據(jù)警察和老太太穿針的對(duì)比，證明

了警察的結(jié)論是錯(cuò)誤的，所以警察的指控是錯(cuò)誤的，故老太太的案子

被取消了obedismissed被取消了。.

20.【解析】選D。邏輯推理題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知老太太的35年未

違規(guī)的紀(jì)錄仍然沒(méi)被打破。remained“依然是"，表示過(guò)去是這樣，現(xiàn)在

仍然保持這一狀態(tài)。seemed語(yǔ)氣不夠肯定；kept此處應(yīng)用waskepto

II.【文章大意】人們總是預(yù)測(cè)未來(lái)，那么他們的預(yù)測(cè)一定會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)嗎？

作者列舉了很久以前人們對(duì)未來(lái)的預(yù)測(cè)的例子來(lái)證明并不是所有的

預(yù)測(cè)都能完全實(shí)現(xiàn)。

1.【解析】選B。主旨大意題。作者列舉了很久以前人們對(duì)未來(lái)的預(yù)

測(cè)的例子來(lái)證明并不是所有的預(yù)測(cè)都能完全實(shí)現(xiàn)。故選B項(xiàng)。

2.［解析］選Ao推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的Manyofthesepredictions

didn'tconsiderhowpeoplewouldwanttousethetechnology,orwhether

peoplereallyneededitintheirlivesornot.可知作者認(rèn)為很多的預(yù)測(cè)

之所以不能實(shí)現(xiàn)是因?yàn)樗鼈儾豢紤]人們?cè)谏钪惺欠裾娴男枰@種

科技，故A項(xiàng)是作者不贊成的。

3.【解析】選D。詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上文知道機(jī)器人太昂貴、太笨拙,

所以機(jī)器人幫人們洗衣做飯的想法現(xiàn)在看來(lái)仍是不可思議的事情,

故選D項(xiàng)。

4.【解析】選Co細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的Ifsnotsocrazy

anymore!可知會(huì)飛的汽車的想法有可能會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)。故選C項(xiàng)。

【文章大意】羞怯是一種天生的人性，然而羞怯并不意味著無(wú)法參加

社會(huì)生活中的交際，作者用名人的例子證明了這一點(diǎn)。

5.【解析】選Do細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的Iprefertothinkofitas

anemotionaldisability.可知作者認(rèn)為害羞是一種情緒障礙，故選D

項(xiàng)。

6.［解析］選A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的Carsonhasneverdone

awaywithhisshyness,buthehassuccessfullyfoundawaytodealwithit

totheextentthathecouldbe,可知雖然Carson未能除掉害羞這一障礙

但他還是成功地找到了解決這一困難的方法，故A項(xiàng)正確。

7.［解析］選D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句中的yetinherearly

yearsshewassoshythatsheturneddownalunchinvitationfromJane

Fondabecauseshewasterriblyafraidofmeetingher.可知選D項(xiàng)。

8.【解析】選B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的Iguess由atourshyness

istherebecauseeachofusisbornwithsomeinsecurityandthis

insecuritypreventsusfromreachingouttoothersthewaypeoplewitha

moreopenpersonalitydo.可知作者認(rèn)為人們之所以羞怯是因?yàn)樗麄?/p>

天生缺乏某種安全感。故選B項(xiàng)。

【拓展題型訓(xùn)練】

I.1.【解析】選G。根據(jù)下文的回答可知是在問(wèn)這個(gè)周末要干什么,

故選擇G項(xiàng)。

2.【解析】選E。根據(jù)后面的一句話“如果天氣好，我們就去野營(yíng)。”

可知他們的活動(dòng)是由天氣決定的，故選E項(xiàng)。

答案解析

【文章大意】人們做了三十年的夢(mèng)終于成真了，有一種飛機(jī)飛行時(shí)展

開(kāi)機(jī)翼，在空中高飛；在陸地上收起機(jī)翼，就是汽車。

1.【解析】選Bo細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容可知這種飛機(jī)有

可折疊的機(jī)翼，飛行時(shí)可展開(kāi)機(jī)翼；在公路上則是汽車模式。故選B

項(xiàng)。

2.【解析】選D。推理判斷題。第二段第一句說(shuō)這類電影點(diǎn)燃了人

們的夢(mèng)想：一按按鈕，汽車就能飛到空中可推知在這類電影中有會(huì)

飛的汽車，故選D項(xiàng)。

3.【解析】選Ao詞義猜測(cè)題。上一句中說(shuō)到你可以把它放到車庫(kù)

中，由于它需要跑道才能飛到空中，可推知這里的it指的是前文提到

的light-sportairplaneo

4.【解析】選A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的意思，這樣的“汽車”

飛機(jī)對(duì)你沒(méi)有危險(xiǎn)，只是讓你有機(jī)會(huì)成為第一個(gè)可以在家就能展開(kāi)

機(jī)翼，飛向未來(lái)的人，可推知在號(hào)召人們購(gòu)買這樣的飛機(jī)。

5.Co細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段中的
