36、Theword"slump"inthefirstparagraphmaybereplacedby.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：主要考查詞義，slump意思是“消沉、衰退、（物價(jià)）暴跌”，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)

中slouch意為“懶散"，decline意思是“下降，衰落,消沉"，increase意思是“上漲,

增加”,與slump意思相反,stamp是指“郵票,跺（腳）”，可以看出decline為最接

近的。

37、Accordingtothispassage,MotorolaInc..

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：從第一段第四行"istryingtobecomeaneutralproviderofmobile

technologytorivals"，以及最后一段第一句"Burgesssaidthenewbusinesswillnot

conflictwithMotorola'sownmobilephonebusiness.”可以看出選項(xiàng)B的意思在文中

全有體現(xiàn)。第一段開頭說"Motorola,theworld'ssecond-largestmobilephonemaker”

所以可見A是錯(cuò)誤的。從第一段倒數(shù)第四行"butthisisthefirsttimethecompany

willofferitsentirelineofchipsaswellasadetailedblueprint.“可以看出C也是不確

切的。至于D,文章中沒有提到有關(guān)工廠的事情。

38、Analystsdon'tthinkthat.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第一段最后一句"Analystssaidtheylikedthenewstrategybutwere

cautiousaboutwhetherMotorola'smobilephonecompetitorswouldwanttobuythe

technologyfromarival.”是該題的依據(jù)。原文的意思是“分析家說他們喜歡這一策

略，但是對(duì)于競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者是否會(huì)愿意從競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手手中購(gòu)買技術(shù)這一問題持謹(jǐn)慎態(tài)度”。

可見C是恰當(dāng)之選。

39、ThetechnologysuppliedbyMotorolaisbasedon.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)第二段第二句話“Motorolasaiditwillbeginofferingthetechnology

basedonthenext-generationGPRS（GlobalPacketRadioService）standard.”可以很容

易看出選擇D。

40、WhichofthefollowingstatementsisNOTtrue?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)第二段最后一句"GPRSoffersfasteraccesstodatathrough"always

on5'networkconnectionsiandcustomersarechargedonlyfbrtheinformationthey

retrieve,ratherthanthelengthofdownload.”可見顧客的付費(fèi)應(yīng)該是少了而不是多

了。從第一段第二句開頭“Theinventorofthecellphone”可以看到B是正確的。從

第一段倒數(shù)第五行"Motorolahaspreviouslysuppliedmobilephonemanufacturerswith

acoupleofitschips”可以看出C也是正確的。依據(jù)第二段開頭“Thecompany,long

knowntoritstop-notchengineeringculture”可以看出D也是正確的。

45Accordingtothepassage,thestatementthatbestdescribesthewriter'sattitudeis

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：本色屬于推斷題。第一段指出在于工作的variely,第二段專家認(rèn)為

是freedom,第三段提出有人考慮contribution及moremoneyandshorterworkhours

等，但是實(shí)際上這幾種都沒法提高生產(chǎn)力。

50、TheauthorquotesthesixlinesfromJohnKeats'poemtocallattentionto.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：作者從約翰?濟(jì)慈的詩(shī)歌當(dāng)中引用這六行，以引起人們對(duì)濟(jì)慈的歷史

錯(cuò)誤的注意。作者在第一段末尾說，很糟糕，濟(jì)慈優(yōu)美的詩(shī)行出了差錯(cuò)，提到了勇

敢無畏的科爾特斯而沒有提到同樣勇敢無畏的巴爾博厄——一位很有勇氣且有毅力

的英雄。

51、ThePacificOcean.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：太平洋是世界上最大的海洋。作者在第一段說，歐洲人發(fā)現(xiàn)一大片水

域，覆蓋地球的40%面積，這個(gè)海洋后來被費(fèi)迪南?麥哲倫稱為太平洋，因?yàn)樗?/p>

乎很寧?kù)o。憑我們的地理知識(shí)也能選準(zhǔn)答案A。

52^Balboawas.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：

知識(shí)之解析C：巴爾博厄被斬首。第二段開頭說，對(duì)于不朽的巴爾博厄來說非常糟糕

的是，他那個(gè)時(shí)代的通訊工具既緩慢又不可靠。要是通訊工具更好的話，他就不可

能因緩慢地把名望傳到西班牙、緩慢地把大量的新知識(shí)帶到文明世界而被斬首。

53、ThefeelingdescribedbyKeatsmaybestbedescribedasoneof.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：濟(jì)慈描述的情感最好可以說成是敬畏。第一段開頭說，約翰?濟(jì)慈用

那些深受喜愛的詩(shī)行承認(rèn)世界上最偉大的地理學(xué)事件，由此可以判斷，濟(jì)慈的情感

是敬畏。

54、Whentheauthorsays,"theworldisrunbygrownups,andthey'rebusytakingthe

funoutofeverything",hemeanstosay.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：題目問：當(dāng)作者說“這個(gè)世界是由成年人控制的，他們忙碌著從中獲

取樂趣”時(shí)，作者是什么意思?通過文章第一段內(nèi)容可知，瘋狂的恐怖分子，政客之

間的互相指責(zé)，一系列重大的颶風(fēng)災(zāi)害等，這些都提醒我們生活不是那么美好。甚

至閱讀國(guó)內(nèi)出版的小型出版物，也暗示著這個(gè)世界是由成年人控制的，他們忙碌著

從中獲取樂趣。也就是說，他們完全不按事物的發(fā)展規(guī)律行事。所以，答案是C。

55、InParagraphs2and3theauthorwantstosaythat.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：題目問：在文章第二段和第三段，作者想說什么?通過第二段和第三

段內(nèi)容可知，作者通過兩個(gè)實(shí)例表明現(xiàn)在的人們總是夸大并公開他們所做的事情。

所以，答案是D。

56、Theword"cookedup"(inParagraph5)probablyisusedinthecontextmeans.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：題目問：第五段的單詞“cookedup”是什么意思?第五段"figure*sall

abigplot.Somethingprobablycookedupby,um,mommiesanddictatorsand

insurancecompaniesandpeoplewhoplaytheirboomboxestooloudly.”在這個(gè)句子

中，cookup的意識(shí)是“偽造，虛構(gòu)“。所以，答案是C。

57、Whichofthefollowingcanbeapropersummaryofthelastparagraphofthe

passage?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：題目問：以下哪項(xiàng)能夠最好地概括文章最后一段內(nèi)容?通過文章內(nèi)容

可知，作者指出，現(xiàn)在，人們總是夸大并公開他們所做的事情，這些毫無根據(jù)的捏

造出來的神話很快就會(huì)使世界變得不可信。所以，答案是A。

58、Thetuneoftheauthorinthispassagesoundsaboutwhathesays.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：題目問：文章作者的語調(diào)聽起來怎么樣?通過文章內(nèi)容可知，作者對(duì)
