試題精解
1.[精解]本題考查連詞用法辨析。空格處填入的連詞應(yīng)反映空格所在分句和下一句之間的邏輯關(guān)系。四個(gè)選項(xiàng),while表時(shí)間或讓步,意為“當(dāng)??的時(shí)候”或“雖然,盡管”;when表時(shí)間,意為“當(dāng)??的時(shí)候”;though表讓步,意為“盡管,雖然”;unless表?xiàng)l件,意為“除非”。根據(jù)文意,兩個(gè)分句之間是時(shí)間關(guān)系,因此需要在while和when之間選擇。when既可指一段時(shí)間,也可指一個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn),既可表示持續(xù)的動(dòng)作,也可表示一時(shí)性的動(dòng)作;while則只能表示持續(xù)性的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)。如:When she comes,(指一個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn),不能用while)I shall tell her to wait for you.(她來(lái)的時(shí)候我會(huì)叫她等你的。)When Jim was reading,(指一段時(shí)間,可用while)Jack was writing.(吉姆閱讀的時(shí)候,杰克在寫東西。)空格所在分句中的動(dòng)作roamed不是持續(xù)性的動(dòng)作,只能用when,[B]正確。
2.[精解]本題考查短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞辨析??崭裉幪钊氲慕樵~或副詞與call構(gòu)成短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,接sb.to do sth.作復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)。符合要求的是[A],call upon sb.to do sth.意為“請(qǐng)求/要求某人做某事”,如:We call on every friend to support the plan.(我們請(qǐng)求每一位朋友支持這項(xiàng)計(jì)劃。)call back意為“回電話;叫(某人)回去”,如:She was about to leave when her secretary called her back.(她正要離開突然秘書叫她回去。)call off意為“取消,停止進(jìn)行”,一般接sth.作賓語(yǔ),如:call off a deal/trip(取消交易/旅行)。call away意為“叫走,叫到別處去”,如:He was called away by his friends.(他被朋友叫走了。)
3.[精解] 本題考查固定短語(yǔ)。不存在in sb’s belief的搭配,所以首先排除[B]。其它項(xiàng)構(gòu)成的固定搭配是:in sb.’s/sth.’s honor意為“向??表示敬意”,其形式也可以是in honor of sb./sth.,如:a ceremony in honor of those killed in the explosion(為紀(jì)念爆炸中的死難者所舉行的儀式)。in sb’s hands意為“受某人照料,被某人控制”,如:The matter is now in my lawyer’s hands.(這件事現(xiàn)在由我律師處理。)in sb’s way意為“以某人特有的方式”或“擋某人的路”,如:She does love you in her(own)way.(她的確是以她特有的方式愛你。)You’凱程考研,考研機(jī)構(gòu),10年高質(zhì)量輔導(dǎo),值得信賴!以學(xué)員的前途為已任,為學(xué)員提供高效、專業(yè)的服務(wù),團(tuán)隊(duì)合作,為學(xué)員服務(wù),為學(xué)員引路。凱程考研輔導(dǎo)班,中國(guó)最強(qiáng)的考研輔導(dǎo)機(jī)構(gòu),http://004km.cn

ll have to move—you’re in my way.(你得挪一挪,你擋了我的路。)根據(jù)文意,應(yīng)選[A],表示“向他(即,牧神盧帕克斯)表示敬意”。
4.[精解]本題考查根據(jù)上下文選擇恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~。從空格所在的句子起到本段末為一個(gè)意群,其內(nèi)容是關(guān)于抽簽選戀人的活動(dòng)。由本段末句的name可知,本題應(yīng)選[C],表示“女孩的名字被寫在紙上”。其它項(xiàng),[A]問(wèn)題,[B]秘密,[D]意圖,都不符合上下文文意。
5.[精解]本題考查根據(jù)上下文選擇恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~。空格處填入名詞,與of paper搭配。rolls of sth.意為“卷”,如:rolls of carpet/film(幾卷地毯/膠卷)。piles of sth.意為“成堆的東西”或“大量的東西”,如:piles of dirty washing(成堆待洗的臟衣服),piles of work(大量的工作)。works意為“著作,作品;工廠”,不與paper搭配。slip本身意為“紙條,便條,小紙片”,它常與of paper搭配,還是表示“紙條”。由于下文即本段倒數(shù)第二句出現(xiàn)了a slip,根據(jù)文意,應(yīng)選[D]。
6.[精解]本題考查根據(jù)上下文選擇恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~。選項(xiàng)為四個(gè)動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去式形式。cast意為“(用力)投,擲,拋”,如:cast anchor(拋錨);catch意為“接住,攔住;捉住”,如:catch the keys as they fall(接住掉下來(lái)的鑰匙),catch mice(捉老鼠);draw意為“抽(簽,牌),抓(鬮)”,如:He drew the winning ticket.(他抽到中獎(jiǎng)彩券了。)find意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)”。根據(jù)文意,應(yīng)表達(dá)“年輕男子從中抽出紙條”的含義,因此選[C]。
7.[精解]本題考查根據(jù)上下文選擇恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~。選項(xiàng)為四個(gè)動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞形式,與was構(gòu)成被動(dòng)式。give意為“給”;choose意為“選擇”;call意為“呼叫”;deliver意為“遞送,傳送”。由上文可知,“年輕男子抽出了寫有女孩名字的紙條”,因此女孩的名字是被“選中”,[B]正確。
8.[精解]本題考查習(xí)慣搭配。Legend has it意為“據(jù)傳說(shuō)”,后面接賓語(yǔ)從句,是it替代的內(nèi)容。又如:Legend has it that the lake was formed by the tears of a god.(據(jù)傳說(shuō)這個(gè)湖是一位神仙的眼淚積聚而成的。)因此,本題選[D]。
9.[精解]本題考查介詞辨析??崭裉幪钊胍粋€(gè)介詞,后面接名詞短語(yǔ)a Roman priest,過(guò)去分詞named Valentine作后置定語(yǔ)修飾priest。[A]after意為“模仿,依照”,如:We named the baby after her grandmother.(我們以嬰兒祖母的名字給嬰兒取名。)該用法符合文意,空格所在句子相當(dāng)于Valentine’s Day was named after a Roman priest。其它項(xiàng)雖然都可作介詞,since“自從”,as“作為”,from“從”,但不符合文意。
10.[精解]本題考查動(dòng)詞辨析??崭裉幪钊氲膭?dòng)詞需接不定式的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu),即,sb.not to do sth.作賓語(yǔ)。符合要求的只有[A],order sb.to do sth.意為“命令/指揮/要求(某人做某事)”,如:The officer ordered them to fire.(軍官命令他們開火。)從含義上判斷也只有[A]正確。
其它項(xiàng)動(dòng)詞的用法:plead的搭配是plead with sb.to do“懇求(某人做某事)”,如:She pleaded with him not to go.(她懇求他不要離開。)envision意為“展望,想象”,一般只接sth.作賓語(yǔ),如:envision an equal society(向往一個(gè)平等社會(huì))。believe意為“相信”,可接sb.,sth.或從句作賓語(yǔ),但不接不定式,如:I don’t believe you.(我不相信你的話。)Don’t believe a word of it.(千萬(wàn)別相信那些話。)People used to believe that the earth was flat.(人們一度認(rèn)為地球是平的。)
11.[精解]本題考查固定結(jié)構(gòu)。would rather...than...意為“寧愿??而不愿”,rather和than后都接省略to的不定式,如:She would rather die than lose the children.(她寧愿死也不愿失去孩子們。)因此[C]為正確項(xiàng)。[A]other只能作形容詞或代詞,表示“別的,其他的”或“另一個(gè)人或事”,放入空格中不符合語(yǔ)法。[B]simply(僅僅)和[D]all(全部,都)可作副詞,放入句中只能修飾stay home,而與后面的than無(wú)法呼應(yīng)。
12.[精解]本題考查根據(jù)上下文選擇恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~。選項(xiàng)中的四個(gè)動(dòng)詞分別是:dislike“不喜歡,厭惡”;defy“藐視,挑釁”;defeat“擊敗”;dishonor“使??蒙羞”。上文提到,“國(guó)凱程考研,考研機(jī)構(gòu),10年高質(zhì)量輔導(dǎo),值得信賴!以學(xué)員的前途為已任,為學(xué)員提供高效、專業(yè)的服務(wù),團(tuán)隊(duì)合作,為學(xué)員服務(wù),為學(xué)員引路。凱程考研輔導(dǎo)班,中國(guó)最強(qiáng)的考研輔導(dǎo)機(jī)構(gòu),http://004km.cn

王禁止士兵結(jié)婚”,而下文則提到,“瓦倫丁秘密讓年輕人成婚”。顯然,這是“藐視國(guó)王”的做法。正確項(xiàng)是[B]。
13.[精解]本題考查根據(jù)上下文選擇恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~??崭癫糠帧皌he of Lupercalia”與上文“February 14th”是同位語(yǔ)的關(guān)系。Lupercalia一詞在第一段首句中出現(xiàn),指“牧神節(jié)”。第一段第三句提到該節(jié)日的時(shí)間是2月15日。因此2月14日是該節(jié)日的前夕,故本題應(yīng)選[D]eve。celebration意為“慶?!?arrangement意為“安排”;feast意為“節(jié)日;宴會(huì)”。
14.[精解]本題考查根據(jù)上下文選擇恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~。由下文可知,牧師們?cè)O(shè)定了一個(gè)專門的節(jié)日來(lái)紀(jì)念瓦倫丁,而不再紀(jì)念牧神??梢娡邆惗∽兂闪艘粋€(gè)“圣人”,而不是“山羊”,“模范”或“武器”。因此,正確項(xiàng)是[B]saint。
15.[精解]本題考查固定短語(yǔ)??崭裉幪钊氲脑~與介詞of搭配,連接兩個(gè)并列的名詞Valentine和Lupercus。[A]和[C]與of構(gòu)成介詞短語(yǔ):because of意為“因?yàn)椤?,后面一般接原因,如:We win the game because of his participation.(由于他的參與,我們贏了比賽。)instead of意為“代替,而不是”,如:I gave him advice instead of money.(我給了他忠告,而不是錢。)[B]和[D]則構(gòu)成了過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ),(be)made of意為“由...構(gòu)成”,如:Bread is chiefly made of flour.(面包主要由面粉做成。)learn of意為“聽到,獲悉”,如:I was sorry to learn of your illness.(聽說(shuō)你病了,我感到不安。)從語(yǔ)法和含義上符合要求的是[C]instead。
16.[精解]本題考查名詞辨析。[A]part作可數(shù)名詞時(shí),意為“部分,片斷,一點(diǎn)”,[B]representative意為“代表”,這兩個(gè)詞都強(qiáng)調(diào)整體與部分之間的關(guān)系,如:We have done the difficult part of the job.(我們已完成了工作的困難部分。)The tiger is a representative of the cat family.(老虎是貓科動(dòng)物的典型。)[C] judgement作可數(shù)名詞時(shí),意為“看法,意見,評(píng)價(jià)”,如:He refused to make a judgement of the situation.(他拒絕對(duì)形勢(shì)作出評(píng)價(jià)。)symbol意為“象征”,如:White is a symbol of purity.(白色是純潔的象征。)由下文可知,人們通過(guò)情人節(jié)的一些舉動(dòng)來(lái)表達(dá)愛意,因此它是愛的象征,應(yīng)選擇[D]symbol。
17.[精解]本題考查文化常識(shí)。god Cupid 指“愛神丘比特”,他手持具有愛情魔力的弓箭,被其射中者將墜入情網(wǎng)。因此本題應(yīng)選[C]arrow。另外,從搭配上看,[A]story“故事,敘述”和[D]play“游戲,玩耍,比賽”都不與介詞into搭配。[B]wander可與into搭配,意為“閑逛,游蕩,流浪(進(jìn)入某地)”,如:Cows and goats sometimes wander into minefields, getting killed.(母牛和山羊有時(shí)游蕩到礦區(qū)里而被殺死。)顯然,[D]不符合文意。
18.[精解]本題考查根據(jù)上下文選擇恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~。空格處填入動(dòng)詞,其主語(yǔ)是“愛神丘比特和他的箭”,賓語(yǔ)是“愛上某人或談戀愛”。portray意為“描繪,描畫;表現(xiàn)”;require意為“需要,要求”;demand意為“要求”;alert意為“向??報(bào)警,使警覺”。根據(jù)句意,應(yīng)選[A]portray。
19.[精解]本題考查動(dòng)詞辨析??崭袼诰渥訛槿牡淖詈笠痪?,其主干結(jié)構(gòu)為__19__ to give flowers can be as...as forgetting a birthday。該句中有一個(gè)比較結(jié)構(gòu),因此相比較的事物應(yīng)具有一定的可比性。首先從語(yǔ)法上看,能接不定式作賓語(yǔ)的只有[D]forget,如:He forgot to pay me.(他忘了付給我錢。)keep一般接動(dòng)名詞作賓語(yǔ),如:keep smiling(繼續(xù)保持笑容)。disapprove接of sth./sb.作賓語(yǔ),如:He strongly disapproved of the changes.(他強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)變革。)support接sb./sth.作賓語(yǔ),如:support a proposal/people with AIDS(擁護(hù)一項(xiàng)提議/援助愛滋病患者)。其次,forgetting一詞在下文中也出現(xiàn),含義上出現(xiàn)了呼應(yīng)。
20.[精解]本題考查根據(jù)上下文選擇恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~??崭裉帒?yīng)填入形容詞,構(gòu)成“as+形容詞+as”的同級(jí)比較結(jié)構(gòu)。因此,該形容詞說(shuō)明的是上文“在圣瓦倫丁節(jié)忘記給妻子或戀人送花”和下文“忘記生日或結(jié)婚紀(jì)念日”共同的特點(diǎn)。constructive意為“建設(shè)性的,有益的,積極的”,如:constructive criticism/suggestion/advice(建設(shè)性的批評(píng)/提議/忠告)。damaging意為“造成破壞的,有害的”,如:damaging consequences(破壞性的后果)。reinforcing是動(dòng)凱程考研,考研機(jī)構(gòu),10年高質(zhì)量輔導(dǎo),值得信賴!以學(xué)員的前途為已任,為學(xué)員提供高效、專業(yè)的服務(wù),團(tuán)隊(duì)合作,為學(xué)員服務(wù),為學(xué)員引路。凱程考研輔導(dǎo)班,中國(guó)最強(qiáng)的考研輔導(dǎo)機(jī)構(gòu),http://004km.cn

詞reinforce“加強(qiáng),充實(shí);加固”的現(xiàn)在分詞,retorting是動(dòng)詞retort“反駁,回嘴”的現(xiàn)在分詞,一般都不作形容詞用。根據(jù)文意,該特點(diǎn)是負(fù)面性的,消極的,因此,[B]為正確項(xiàng)。
全文翻譯
圣瓦倫丁節(jié)(即,情人節(jié))可能源自古羅馬的牧神節(jié)。當(dāng)兇猛的狼群在四周游蕩時(shí),古老的羅馬人請(qǐng)求牧神盧帕克斯來(lái)幫助他們。一個(gè)向該神表達(dá)敬意的節(jié)日于2月15日舉行。在這個(gè)節(jié)日的前夕女孩們的名字被寫在紙條上并放入罐中。每位年輕的男子都抽一張紙條,被抽中名字的女孩在未來(lái)一年中將成為他的戀人。
傳說(shuō)這個(gè)節(jié)日之所以成為圣瓦倫丁節(jié)是為了紀(jì)念一位名叫瓦倫丁的羅馬牧師。國(guó)王克勞底斯二世命令羅馬士兵不得結(jié)婚或訂婚??藙诘姿拐J(rèn)為結(jié)了婚的士兵更愿意留守家中而不是上戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)。當(dāng)瓦倫丁違抗了國(guó)王的意愿,秘密讓年輕人成了婚之后,他于2月14日即牧神節(jié)的前夕被處決。瓦倫丁死后,成了圣徒?;浇虝?huì)牧師們將這個(gè)節(jié)日從15日改為14日,即,圣瓦倫丁節(jié)?,F(xiàn)在這個(gè)節(jié)日紀(jì)念的是瓦倫丁而再不是牧神盧帕克斯。
圣瓦倫丁節(jié)在現(xiàn)代世界里已經(jīng)成為愛和浪漫的一個(gè)主要象征。古代的愛神丘比特和他射入愛人心中的箭也許仍然被用來(lái)表現(xiàn)愛上某人或談戀愛。但是我們也使用卡片和禮物,比如鮮花或珠寶來(lái)做同樣的事情。在圣瓦倫丁節(jié)忘記給妻子或戀人送花有時(shí)能像忘記生日或結(jié)婚紀(jì)念日一樣糟糕。

第二段:介紹了馬克思主義的世界觀對(duì)他創(chuàng)作的影響。

1.根據(jù)文章,杰克·林德薩的寫作生涯可以被描述為是_____。
[A] 有創(chuàng)造性的 [B] 多產(chǎn)的
[C] 好深思的 [D] 善于歸納總結(jié)的
[精解]本題考查推理引申。文章首段提出 “杰克·林德薩有大約四十部小說(shuō)、一些戲劇、幾部詩(shī)集、還有歷史、評(píng)論以及自傳作品,同時(shí)兼任編輯和翻譯家。他是一位非常多產(chǎn)的作家。”原文中的prolific與[B]項(xiàng)中的productive近義,都意為“多產(chǎn)的”。
2.杰克·林德薩的意識(shí)形態(tài)對(duì)于他在文學(xué)領(lǐng)域里的成功的影響____。
[A] 完全是負(fù)面的
[B] 有限的但不可分割的 [C] 顯然是正面的
[D] 在最終影響上并不明確
[精解] 本題考查事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)。原文中第二段段首指出,從1916年起,杰克·林德薩一直持有馬克思主義的世界觀,“如果沒有其他因素的話,恰是這種世界觀確保了杰克·林德薩凱程考研,考研機(jī)構(gòu),10年高質(zhì)量輔導(dǎo),值得信賴!以學(xué)員的前途為已任,為學(xué)員提供高效、專業(yè)的服務(wù),團(tuán)隊(duì)合作,為學(xué)員服務(wù),為學(xué)員引路。凱程考研輔導(dǎo)班,中國(guó)最強(qiáng)的考研輔導(dǎo)機(jī)構(gòu),http://004km.cn

3.在第二段中,杰克·林德薩相信_(tái)____。
[A] 他自己國(guó)家悲慘的命運(yùn)
[B] 文學(xué)作為武器的功能
[C] 他作為英國(guó)人的責(zé)任
[D] 他在文學(xué)領(lǐng)域的特別地位
[精解] 本題考查事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)。第二段中部指出,杰克·林德薩感覺到“歷史小說(shuō)作為一種戰(zhàn)斗武器,作為一種文化手段,其未來(lái)的作用不可限量(limitless)”,于是他把自己的馬克思主義觀點(diǎn)寫入了一系列以過(guò)去為背景的小說(shuō)中,尤其是三部曲的英國(guó)小說(shuō)。故應(yīng)選擇[B]項(xiàng)。
4.從課文的最后一段,我們可以推出_____。
[A] 戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)導(dǎo)致所有英國(guó)作家的最后聯(lián)合 [B] 杰克·林德薩在英國(guó)越來(lái)越不受歡迎
[C] 杰克·林德薩只關(guān)注國(guó)內(nèi)事務(wù)
[D] 激進(jìn)作家受到戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的很大影響
[精解] 本題考查推理引申。該段首句指出:“盡管戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)造成了20世紀(jì)10年代的左翼文學(xué)運(yùn)動(dòng)實(shí)際上的解體,杰克·林德薩還在繼續(xù)戰(zhàn)斗(carried on)?!痹摱蔚诙渲赋觯骸皯?zhàn)后,杰克·林德薩繼續(xù)就當(dāng)時(shí)的背景進(jìn)行寫作,試圖與戰(zhàn)后英國(guó)非激進(jìn)的政治現(xiàn)實(shí)達(dá)成妥協(xié)”。由此我們可推出,激進(jìn)的左翼文人受戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的影響很大。因此[D]項(xiàng)正確,[A]項(xiàng)與事實(shí)相反。[B]、[C]項(xiàng)內(nèi)容在文中未提及。
5.文章結(jié)尾部分_____。
[A] 證明了作者自己的人生觀
[B] 表達(dá)了對(duì)杰克·林德薩的普遍評(píng)論
[C] 提供了作者看待杰克·林德薩的觀點(diǎn)
[D] 表明了杰克·林德薩寫作態(tài)度的變化
[精解] 本題考查推理引申。最后一段主要圍繞杰克·林德薩寫作態(tài)度的變化展開論述。該段指出:戰(zhàn)后,他的寫作題材轉(zhuǎn)向現(xiàn)代,但一度留于說(shuō)教(didacticism),后來(lái)終于再次轉(zhuǎn)變,開始認(rèn)為社會(huì)問(wèn)題的解決辦法不再依靠政黨。他賦予作品主人公的僅僅是一種政治覺悟,除此之外什么也沒有了。文章最后引用了他小說(shuō)中主人公的一番話,該主人公帶著絕望的語(yǔ)氣說(shuō)道:“什么都得改,這樣的生活我再也過(guò)不下去了,但是我該如何改變這一切呢?”引文之后,文章又總結(jié)到,杰克·林德薩作為一名藝術(shù)家,不再給出問(wèn)題的具體答案。故[D]項(xiàng)是寫作目的。[B]、[C]項(xiàng)太籠統(tǒng),全文都是關(guān)于杰克·林德薩的評(píng)論,都是作者看待他的觀點(diǎn)。[A]項(xiàng)文中未涉及。

全文翻譯
杰克·林德薩是一位杰出的多產(chǎn)作家,他一生創(chuàng)作了約40部小說(shuō),若干戲劇,大量詩(shī)歌,以及歷史、評(píng)論和自傳作品。同時(shí)他還兼任編輯和翻譯家。這一事實(shí)很輕易地掩蓋了杰克·林德薩在他自己所冒險(xiǎn)的領(lǐng)域里的真正光芒。20世紀(jì)20年代杰克·林德薩與人合編的《悉尼生活》一直被認(rèn)為將澳大利亞文化引入了一個(gè)新的時(shí)期,而他1930年著的關(guān)于Kickens的著作也受到了很高的評(píng)價(jià)。在他所從事的各種創(chuàng)作活動(dòng)中,可能小說(shuō)創(chuàng)作的貢獻(xiàn)最大。
用他自己在Fanfrolico提到的及其后來(lái)的話說(shuō),1916年他到了“山窮水盡”的地步,自那以后杰克·林德薩一直持有馬克思主義的世界觀。如果沒有其他因素的話,恰是這種世界觀確保了杰克·林德薩的小說(shuō)在現(xiàn)代英國(guó)文壇上擁有不大但是肯定不可忽視的地位。由于感覺到“歷史小說(shuō)作為一種戰(zhàn)斗武器,作為一種文化手段,其未來(lái)的作用不可限量”,他首次把自己的馬克思主義觀點(diǎn)寫入了一系列主要以歷史為背景的小說(shuō),尤其是三部曲的英國(guó)小說(shuō)《1929》、《丟失的長(zhǎng)子》以及《四十八歲的男人》(寫于1919年,歐洲爆發(fā)憲章運(yùn)動(dòng)和革命起義)。隨著第一部作品的巨大成功,這些作品基本上復(fù)蘇了英國(guó)社會(huì)主義背后的歷史傳統(tǒng),并且試圖證明它保持不變。用杰克·林德薩自己的話說(shuō),為了“民族命運(yùn)的真正圓滿”。
盡管戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)造成了20世紀(jì)10年代的左翼文學(xué)運(yùn)動(dòng)實(shí)際上的解體,杰克·林德薩還在繼續(xù)戰(zhàn)斗,并在《我們要回家》和《恐怖之外》兩部作品中探索了當(dāng)時(shí)的事件。在這兩部小說(shuō)中,以前專屬于邪惡的資本家和法國(guó)士兵的稱號(hào)未加修飾地轉(zhuǎn)用到了德國(guó)部隊(duì)上。戰(zhàn)后,林德薩繼續(xù)主要就當(dāng)時(shí)的背景進(jìn)行寫作,試圖以不同程度的成功與戰(zhàn)后英國(guó)非激進(jìn)的政治現(xiàn)實(shí)達(dá)成妥協(xié)。在他1993年以《背叛的春天》開始的《英國(guó)的路》這一系列作品集中,看起來(lái)好像他的解決方法就是更多的依靠作家式的處理和笨拙的說(shuō)教。幸運(yùn)的是,從《兒子的反抗》開始轉(zhuǎn)變,林德薩表現(xiàn)出日益漸漲的不再依靠政黨解決辦法的趨勢(shì),他賦予作品主人公的也僅僅是最基本的政治覺悟除此之外什么也沒有。因此在他最新的當(dāng)代小說(shuō)(看起來(lái)也是最后的一部)《時(shí)間的抉擇》中,主人公柯林帶著絕望的語(yǔ)氣說(shuō)道:“什么都得改,這樣的生活我再也過(guò)不下去了,但是我該如何改變這一切呢?” 值得贊揚(yáng)的是,杰克·林德薩作為一名藝術(shù)家,沒有給出問(wèn)題的具體答案。

總體分析
本文是一篇說(shuō)明大多數(shù)人共有的特殊習(xí)慣和觀念并不一定合理的看法的文章。作者駁斥凱程考研,考研機(jī)構(gòu),10年高質(zhì)量輔導(dǎo),值得信賴!以學(xué)員的前途為已任,為學(xué)員提供高效、專業(yè)的服務(wù),團(tuán)隊(duì)合作,為學(xué)員服務(wù),為學(xué)員引路。凱程考研輔導(dǎo)班,中國(guó)最強(qiáng)的考研輔導(dǎo)機(jī)構(gòu),http://004km.cn

了認(rèn)為大家共有的就是正確的這種錯(cuò)誤觀點(diǎn),提倡批判性思維。
第一段:作者指出,在研究中發(fā)現(xiàn)特殊的習(xí)慣和觀念一定程度上反映了人類社會(huì)的某些規(guī)律,但它們并非一定是合理的判斷和智慧的結(jié)果。因此我們應(yīng)小心謹(jǐn)慎地看待它們。
第二段:許多傳統(tǒng)和習(xí)俗的盛行,不足以說(shuō)明它們的合理性和真實(shí)性。認(rèn)為大家都說(shuō)的話是真的,大家都做的事是對(duì)的,這是一種謬論。
第三段:在很多領(lǐng)域即使是受過(guò)教育的人也無(wú)法清楚地理解這一事實(shí),即人們持有的共同觀點(diǎn)、形成的共同習(xí)俗等不一定正確。
第四段:應(yīng)在接受某種傳綜和信仰前對(duì)其依據(jù)仔細(xì)審視,否則會(huì)認(rèn)為謬論也是真理。
試題精解
1.作者對(duì)文章開頭部分所提及的現(xiàn)象所持的態(tài)度是_____。
[A] 懷疑 [B] 贊同 [C] 漠不關(guān)心 [D] 厭惡
[精解] 本題考查作者態(tài)度??上葘C]項(xiàng)排除,因?yàn)榧热蛔髡哂么罅抗P墨和精力來(lái)描寫說(shuō)明此現(xiàn)象,就證明了作者對(duì)于這一現(xiàn)象持的基本態(tài)度是關(guān)注而不是漠不關(guān)心。文章開頭部分的ever-reiterated proofs,definite等詞可能會(huì)誤導(dǎo)考生選擇[B]項(xiàng),應(yīng)注意在這些表示肯定的詞語(yǔ)后面有一個(gè)關(guān)鍵的轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but。一般情況下,如果首段出現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)折性連詞,那么轉(zhuǎn)折連詞后面的內(nèi)容才是作者強(qiáng)調(diào)的部分。作者轉(zhuǎn)折指出:在充分強(qiáng)調(diào)和這些社會(huì)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條件相關(guān)的(bearing on)證據(jù)時(shí),我們必須小心謹(jǐn)慎,避免陷入常常誤導(dǎo)粗心大意的學(xué)生的陷井(entrap the unwary student)。接下來(lái)出現(xiàn)了以of course為標(biāo)志的讓步表達(dá):誠(chéng)然,屬于大多數(shù)人所共有的觀念和習(xí)慣在很大程度上是合理的判斷和實(shí)踐智慧的結(jié)果。但該段末句再次出現(xiàn)but轉(zhuǎn)折指出:但是在很大程度上,情況并非如此。依據(jù)該段中的邏輯標(biāo)志詞,可判斷出作者對(duì)此現(xiàn)象并不持完全贊同的觀點(diǎn),排除[B]項(xiàng)。[D]項(xiàng)是具有明顯的情感色彩的詞語(yǔ),而文中作者表達(dá)觀點(diǎn)的方式非常隱晦,力求客觀。[A]項(xiàng)為正確答案。
2.通過(guò)“但是在很大程度上并非如此”(第七行),作者暗示_____。
[A] 絕大多數(shù)的人都只是一些新觀點(diǎn)的追隨者
[B] 即使是明智的頭腦也會(huì)犯愚蠢的錯(cuò)誤
[C] 得到廣泛支持的也可能是錯(cuò)誤的 [D] 沒有人能免受錯(cuò)誤影響
[精解] 本題考查考生的推理引申能力?;卮鸨绢}的關(guān)鍵在于理解把握but 和so兩個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞的意思和所指。其中,but是轉(zhuǎn)折連詞,因此這句話的內(nèi)容應(yīng)該與前面所述內(nèi)容意思相反。So意為“這樣”,常指代上文所述內(nèi)容或觀點(diǎn)。所以考生應(yīng)該重點(diǎn)閱讀理解它前面那句話,即:誠(chéng)然,屬于人類共有的觀念和習(xí)慣在很大程度上是合理的判斷和和實(shí)踐智慧的結(jié)果。那么最后一句話的含義是:在很大程度上,這些人類共有的觀念和習(xí)慣并不一定是合理的判斷和實(shí)踐智慧的結(jié)果,[C]項(xiàng)是其概括含義,因此為正確答案。[A]項(xiàng)與文章內(nèi)容無(wú)關(guān);[B]項(xiàng)和[D]項(xiàng)是對(duì)文意的曲解。
3.下面哪句話在含義上與“這有很多的...去做”(第17至20行)最接近?
[A] 諸如歷史和哲學(xué)上的原則很難處理。
[B] 人們喜歡看其他人為他們自己的模范都做了些什么。
[C] 受過(guò)教育的人在日常生活中更容易受錯(cuò)誤影響。
[D] 每個(gè)人都做同一件事并不證明大家都是對(duì)的。
[精解] 本題考查句意的理解。這是第三段的第一句話,其結(jié)構(gòu)頗為復(fù)雜,主干成分是There are various topics。especially in history, law, philosophy做狀語(yǔ),意為“尤其是在歷史、法律、哲學(xué)方面”。Where even the educated people...to do so部分做定語(yǔ)修飾various topics。這個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句也是一個(gè)復(fù)合句,主干成分是even the educated people can hardly be brought to see,句中的 we live among部分做定語(yǔ)修飾the educated people。See后是that引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從凱程考研,考研機(jī)構(gòu),10年高質(zhì)量輔導(dǎo),值得信賴!以學(xué)員的前途為已任,為學(xué)員提供高效、專業(yè)的服務(wù),團(tuán)隊(duì)合作,為學(xué)員服務(wù),為學(xué)員引路。凱程考研輔導(dǎo)班,中國(guó)最強(qiáng)的考研輔導(dǎo)機(jī)構(gòu),http://004km.cn

句,其主干結(jié)構(gòu)是the cause why...is by no means necessarily a reason why...,意為“...的原因決不一定非是...的理由”。其中又包含了兩個(gè)由why引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句,分別修飾the cause和the reason。整個(gè)句子的大意是:對(duì)于很多話題,尤其是涉及到歷史,法律和哲學(xué)方面的話題,即使是我們中間受過(guò)教育的人也很難認(rèn)識(shí)到人們持有某種觀念或形成某種習(xí)俗的緣由決不一定是他們這樣做的理由。換言之,很多人持有的觀念或形成的習(xí)俗不是必然的。再看該句的上文,即第二段末句提到,有一種謬論深深植根于人類的頭腦中,認(rèn)為大家都說(shuō)的話肯定是真的,大家都做的事肯定是對(duì)的。可見,三段首句是延續(xù)二段末句的話題展開論述,其中hold an opinion和practise a custom對(duì)應(yīng)上文中的what everybody says和what everybody does。既然是謬論,當(dāng)然是不合理的。因此三段首句仍在說(shuō)明:大家共有的或已有的觀點(diǎn)和做法不一定合理。[D]項(xiàng)為正確答案。
在文中,作者提到歷史、哲學(xué),是為了說(shuō)明人們這些方面形成的觀點(diǎn)和形成的習(xí)俗,并未涉及它們本身的原則處理問(wèn)題,所以[A]項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤,文中提到,受教育的人也免不了和常人一樣有這樣錯(cuò)誤的認(rèn)識(shí),但不是更容易受錯(cuò)誤影響,[C]項(xiàng)不正確。[B]項(xiàng)與文章內(nèi)容無(wú)關(guān)。
4.下述選項(xiàng)中的內(nèi)容哪個(gè)是作者可能建議的?
[A] 支持最不受支持的。
[B] 否定他人相信的任何事情。
[C] 將所有的傳統(tǒng)扔進(jìn)垃圾桶。
[D] 時(shí)刻保持注意。
[精解] 本題考查作者的觀點(diǎn)。第一段作者提到,大多數(shù)人所共有的觀念和習(xí)慣不一定是合理的判斷和實(shí)踐智慧的結(jié)果;第二至三段又提出,認(rèn)為“大家都說(shuō)的話肯定是真的,大家都做的事肯定是對(duì)的”是一種謬論。文章的最后提到,如果按照上述的推理方式,即大家廣泛同意的觀點(diǎn)就是對(duì)的,那么我們也可以證明地球是扁的,噩夢(mèng)是惡魔的來(lái)訪。由此可以看出,作者是在批駁人們思維方式上走入的誤區(qū),建議人們用一種更批判更睿智的態(tài)度看待那些已經(jīng)習(xí)以為常的觀點(diǎn)和做法。而并不建議我們徹底放棄傳統(tǒng)、在沒有確鑿的證據(jù)的情況下支持或否定事物和觀點(diǎn)。[A]、[B]和[C]項(xiàng)屬于較偏狹的觀點(diǎn),不入選。
5.作者采用了何種方法展開文章?
[A] 講道理。[B] 舉例子。[C] 作比較。[D] 引證。
[精解] 本題考查文章的寫作方法。在文章的開始部分作者承認(rèn)觀點(diǎn)的部分合理性,轉(zhuǎn)而批駁其錯(cuò)誤性,最后得出其錯(cuò)誤結(jié)論,貫穿全文的寫作方法是講道理。

碰到了被反復(fù)重申的論證,證明了在特定的文化發(fā)展階段,產(chǎn)生人類生活現(xiàn)象的一般因果關(guān)系,和社會(huì)維持和傳播條件的規(guī)律。但是,在充分強(qiáng)調(diào)這些和社會(huì)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條件相關(guān)的證據(jù)的同時(shí),我們必須小心謹(jǐn)慎,避免陷入粗心大意的學(xué)生常常掉進(jìn)的陷井。誠(chéng)然,屬于大多數(shù)人所共有的觀念和習(xí)慣在很大程度上是合理的判斷和實(shí)踐智慧的結(jié)果,但是在很大程度上,情況并非如此。
許多的人類社會(huì)相信惡毒眼光的影響和蒼天的存在,祭祀死去的魂靈并為其奉獻(xiàn)奴隸和祭品,將巨人殺死猛獸以及人變成怪獸的傳統(tǒng)流傳下來(lái),這些都使人們有理由相信這些想法在人腦中產(chǎn)生有其有效的根源,但卻不能以此為依據(jù)認(rèn)為我們所提及的習(xí)俗是有益的,這些信仰是合理的,歷史是真實(shí)的。乍一看,這似乎像是自明之理,然而事實(shí)上,這是對(duì)一種謬論的否定:這種謬論深深植根于人類的頭腦中,只有一小部分具有批判性思維的人除外。通常情況下,大家都說(shuō)的話肯定是真的,大家都做的事肯定是對(duì)的。
對(duì)于很多的話題,尤其是在歷史,法律,哲學(xué)和神學(xué)領(lǐng)域,我們中間那些甚至受過(guò)教育的人也很難理解,人們持有某種觀點(diǎn)、形成某種習(xí)俗的原因決不一定是他們這樣做的理由。現(xiàn)今,民俗學(xué)證據(jù)的收集使眾多的人在某些傳統(tǒng)、信仰和習(xí)慣上的一致看法突顯出來(lái),這些證據(jù)很容易被不適當(dāng)?shù)赜脕?lái)直接維護(hù)這些傳統(tǒng)本身,甚至一些古老的野蠻民族也用投票方式來(lái)維護(hù)他們自己的觀點(diǎn),反對(duì)所謂的現(xiàn)代觀點(diǎn)。
我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己收集一些傳統(tǒng)觀念和信仰時(shí),在沒有對(duì)接受它們的依據(jù)進(jìn)行仔細(xì)審視的情況下,也是如此主張它們的客觀真實(shí)性,并且這種情況不只一次發(fā)生。因此,我借此機(jī)會(huì)想說(shuō)的是,以上這種推理方式同樣也可以證明,地球是扁的,噩夢(mèng)是惡魔的來(lái)訪并且可以爭(zhēng)得許多民族堅(jiān)決而廣泛的認(rèn)同。

對(duì)該專業(yè)有輔導(dǎo)歷史:必須對(duì)該專業(yè)深刻理解,才能深入輔導(dǎo)學(xué)員考取該校。在考研輔導(dǎo)班中,從來(lái)見過(guò)如此輝煌的成績(jī):凱程教育拿下2015五道口金融學(xué)院狀元,考取五道口15人,清華經(jīng)管金融碩士10人,人大金融碩士15個(gè),中財(cái)和貿(mào)大金融碩士合計(jì)20人,北師大教育學(xué)7人,會(huì)計(jì)碩士保錄班考取30人,翻譯碩士接近20人,中傳狀元王園璐、鄭家威都是來(lái)自凱程,法學(xué)方面,凱程在人大、北大、貿(mào)大、政法、武漢大學(xué)、公安大學(xué)等院校斬獲多個(gè)法學(xué)和法碩狀元,更多專業(yè)成績(jī)請(qǐng)查看凱程網(wǎng)站。在凱程官方網(wǎng)站的光榮榜,成功學(xué)員經(jīng)驗(yàn)談視頻特別多,都是凱程戰(zhàn)績(jī)的最好證明。對(duì)于如此高的成績(jī),凱程集訓(xùn)營(yíng)班主任邢老師說(shuō),凱程如此優(yōu)異的成績(jī),是與我們凱程嚴(yán)格的管理,全方位的輔導(dǎo)是分不開的,很多學(xué)生本科都不是名校,某些學(xué)生來(lái)自二本三本甚至不知名的院校,還有很多是工作了多年才回來(lái)考的,大多數(shù)是跨專業(yè)考研,他們的難度大,競(jìng)爭(zhēng)激烈,沒有嚴(yán)格的訓(xùn)練和同學(xué)們的刻苦學(xué)習(xí),是很難達(dá)到優(yōu)異的成績(jī)。最好的辦法是直接和凱程老師詳細(xì)溝通一下就清楚了。
建校歷史:機(jī)構(gòu)成立的歷史也是一個(gè)參考因素,歷史越久,積累的人脈資源更多。例如,凱程教育已經(jīng)成立10年(2005年),一直以來(lái)專注于考研,成功率一直遙遙領(lǐng)先,同學(xué)們有興趣可以聯(lián)系一下他們?cè)诰€老師或者電話。

凱程考研,考研機(jī)構(gòu),10年高質(zhì)量輔導(dǎo),值得信賴!以學(xué)員的前途為已任,為學(xué)員提供高效、專業(yè)的服務(wù),團(tuán)隊(duì)合作,為學(xué)員服務(wù),為學(xué)員引路。

[考點(diǎn)分析] 邏輯關(guān)系
[選項(xiàng)分析] 因?yàn)榭疾檫壿嬯P(guān)系,所以需要我們先對(duì)填空前后的原文信息做定位分析:空格處身處大環(huán)境not only?but also之中,這是一個(gè)明顯的并列關(guān)系,表示“不僅??而且??”,該空后面的those指代前文出現(xiàn)的“parents and friends”,顯然“the young man”與“the young woman”為并列關(guān)系,表示“與他本人以及伴侶的父母朋友相關(guān)”,所以答案只能是[C]項(xiàng)as well as 也,又。[A]項(xiàng)by way of 通過(guò),[D]項(xiàng)with regard to 關(guān)于,[B]項(xiàng)on behalf of 代表。
2.[A] adapt to
[B] provide for
[C] compete with
[D] decide on
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [D] decide on
[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義
[選項(xiàng)分析] 根據(jù)該句的主語(yǔ)a young man與賓語(yǔ)a likely spouse的關(guān)系,答案只能是[D]項(xiàng)decide on“決定”,表示自己決定自己的配偶。[B]項(xiàng)provide for為??提供準(zhǔn)備??,provide為及物動(dòng)詞,直接跟賓語(yǔ),不需要加介詞;[C]項(xiàng)compete with“與??競(jìng)爭(zhēng)”,[A]項(xiàng)adapt to“適用”。
3.[A] close
[B] remew
[C] arrange
[D] postpone
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [C] arrange
[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義及動(dòng)詞辨析
[選項(xiàng)分析] 該句意思為:他可以自己選擇自己中意的伴侶并讓父母_____婚姻談判。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,[A]項(xiàng)close 關(guān)閉;[B]項(xiàng)renew 更新,恢復(fù);[D]項(xiàng)postpone 推遲;這三項(xiàng)語(yǔ)義不正確,只有[C]項(xiàng)arrange“安排”符合語(yǔ)境。
4.[A] Above all
[B] In theory
[C] In time
[D] For example
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [B] In theory
[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義
[選項(xiàng)分析] 邏輯判斷題主要是看前后兩句的含義,前面說(shuō)“他可以自己選擇自己中意的伴侶并讓父母安排婚姻談判,或者完全由父母選擇對(duì)象,不給孩子選擇的機(jī)會(huì)?!笨崭窈竺嬲f(shuō)“女方可以否決她父母所選擇的對(duì)象?!边@兩句之間顯然是相反的關(guān)系,且有一個(gè)may,更證明[B]項(xiàng)In theory“理論上說(shuō)”的正確性,而其他選項(xiàng)[A]項(xiàng)Above all最重要的是,[C]項(xiàng)In time 準(zhǔn)時(shí),[D]項(xiàng)For example舉例,均不符合題意。
5.[A] Although
[B] Lest
[C] After
[D] Unless
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [C] After
[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義
[選項(xiàng)分析] 根據(jù)下文“______a spouse has been selected, each family investigates the other?”可知,只有對(duì)象選擇好后,父母才會(huì)去調(diào)查對(duì)方,顯然表達(dá)的是時(shí)間先后順序,所以只有after才對(duì)。其他選項(xiàng)[A]項(xiàng)Although 盡管,[B]項(xiàng)Lest 以免,唯恐,[D]Unless 除非,否則都不符合題意。
6.[A] into
[B] within
[C] from
[D] through
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [A] into
[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義及介詞辨析
[選項(xiàng)分析] 這里主要是看marry與相關(guān)介詞的固定搭配及句意理解。這里marry into就是指“通過(guò)婚姻得到[成為]??的一員”,而其他選項(xiàng)均沒有這層含義。
7.[A] since
[B] or
[C] but
[D] so
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [C] but
[考點(diǎn)分析] 邏輯關(guān)系
[選項(xiàng)分析] 根據(jù)上文“以前婚禮會(huì)持續(xù)三天”,出處句子意為“到了20世紀(jì)80年代,婚禮只持續(xù)一天半”,顯然與前文發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)變,為對(duì)比關(guān)系,因此選擇[C]項(xiàng)but 但是。
8.[A] copy
[B] test
[C] recite
[D] create
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [C] recite
[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義及動(dòng)詞辨析
[選項(xiàng)分析] 空格處需要填一個(gè)動(dòng)詞,和后面的prayers of blessing所搭配,[C]項(xiàng)recite 有“吟誦、朗誦”的意思,與所給短語(yǔ)搭配最為合理,譯為“吟誦祝福的祈禱文”。
9.[A] folding
[B] piling
[C] wrapping
[D] tying
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [D] tying
[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義及動(dòng)詞辨析
[選項(xiàng)分析] 本題需要根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)義分析,空格處需要搭配后文“棉線”,縱觀四個(gè)選項(xiàng)[A]項(xiàng) 折疊,[B]項(xiàng) 堆積,[C]項(xiàng) 包裹,[D]項(xiàng) 系上,根據(jù)后文的“around the bride’s and groom’s wrists
在新郎和新娘的腰間”,只有[D]項(xiàng)“將在圣水中浸過(guò)的棉線系在新郎和新娘的腰間”符合句意。
10.[A] passing
[B] lighting
[C] hiding
[D] serving
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [A] passing
[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義及動(dòng)詞辨析
[選項(xiàng)分析] 原文空格需要填寫一個(gè)動(dòng)詞與后文“around a circle”來(lái)搭配,譯為“將蠟燭傳一圈”,故[A]項(xiàng)“傳遞”為正確選項(xiàng)。[B]項(xiàng) 點(diǎn)亮,[C]項(xiàng) 隱藏,[D]項(xiàng) 服務(wù)。
11.[A] meeting
[B] collection
[C] association
[D] union
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [D] union
[考點(diǎn)分析] 名詞辨析
[選項(xiàng)分析] 本句語(yǔ)義為“將蠟燭繞著幸福完婚和受人尊敬的夫妻傳遞一圈來(lái)祝福
”,[D]項(xiàng) 結(jié)合,引申為“婚姻”之意;根據(jù)語(yǔ)境,[D]項(xiàng)正確。
12.[A] grow
[B] part
[C] deal
[D] live
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [D] live
[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義及動(dòng)詞辨析
[選項(xiàng)分析] 本題比較簡(jiǎn)單。根據(jù)語(yǔ)義“根據(jù)傳統(tǒng),新婚夫婦要搬到妻子父母家,與父母____一年”,[D]項(xiàng)“生活”為最佳答案。[C]項(xiàng) 交易,[B]項(xiàng) 分開,[A]項(xiàng) 成長(zhǎng)。
13.[A] whereas
[B] until
[C] if
[D] for
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [B] until

14.[A] avoid
[B] follow
[C] challenge
[D] obtain
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [D] obtain
[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義及動(dòng)詞辨析
[選項(xiàng)分析] Divorce is legal and relatively easy to __14__, but not common.該句句意為“離婚是合法的,且相對(duì)容易____?!盵A]項(xiàng)avoid避免,[B]項(xiàng)follow跟隨,[C]項(xiàng)challenge挑戰(zhàn),質(zhì)疑,[D]項(xiàng)obtain獲得,實(shí)現(xiàn)。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞“l(fā)egal”可知這里表達(dá)的是正面的意思,再根據(jù)句意選擇[D]項(xiàng)。
15.[A] isolated
[B] persuaded
[C] viewed
[D] exposed
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [C] viewed
[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義及動(dòng)詞辨析
[選項(xiàng)分析] Divorced persons are __15__ with some disapproval.離婚的人 一些不認(rèn)可。本段第一句提到“離婚是合法的且相對(duì)容易得到批準(zhǔn),但是不常見。”這句其實(shí)是在說(shuō)明離婚并不常見的原因,[A]項(xiàng)isolated孤立,[B]項(xiàng)persuaded勸說(shuō),[C]項(xiàng)viewed看待,[D]項(xiàng)exposed接觸,受到??的影響,[C]項(xiàng)最符合句意。
16.[A] whereever
[B] whatever
[C] whenever
[D] however
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [B] whatever
[考點(diǎn)分析] 關(guān)系代詞辨析
[選項(xiàng)分析] Each spouse retains ___16___ property he or she __17__ into the marriage.17小題四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是動(dòng)詞,所以該句意思為:夫婦雙方保有財(cái)產(chǎn),這個(gè)財(cái)產(chǎn)是他或她進(jìn)婚姻的。結(jié)合[A]項(xiàng) whereever“無(wú)論何地;任何(地方)=any place where(定從)”;[B]項(xiàng) whatever“無(wú)論什么;任何(東西)=anything that/any+N that”;[C]項(xiàng) whenever無(wú)論何時(shí);任何時(shí)間=any time when;[D]項(xiàng) however無(wú)論如何;無(wú)論多么。根據(jù)語(yǔ)義,這里應(yīng)該不是讓步的關(guān)系,而且填的這個(gè)詞還要能修飾property。因此,選擇[B]項(xiàng),等于retains any property that he or she??。
17.[A] changed
[B] brought
[C] shaped
[D] pushed
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [B] brought
[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義及動(dòng)詞義辨析
[選項(xiàng)分析] Each spouse retains ___16___ property he or she __17__ into the marriage,結(jié)合[A]項(xiàng) changed“改變”,[B]項(xiàng) brought “帶來(lái)”,[C]項(xiàng) shaped“形成”,[D]項(xiàng) pushed“推,逼迫”。結(jié)合語(yǔ)境只有[B]項(xiàng)符合句意,意為“把財(cái)產(chǎn)帶入婚姻”。
18.[A] invested
[B] divided
[C] donated
[D] withdrawn
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [B] divided
[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義及動(dòng)詞義辨析
[選項(xiàng)分析]...and jointly-acquired property is __18__ equally.結(jié)合[A]項(xiàng)invested投資;[B]項(xiàng)divided分配;分開;[C]項(xiàng)donated 捐贈(zèng);[D]項(xiàng)withdrawn撤出,提取。根據(jù)語(yǔ)義應(yīng)該是共同財(cái)產(chǎn)被(夫妻雙方)平分,因此選擇[B]項(xiàng)。
19.[A] warms
[B] clears
[C] shows
[D] breaks
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [C] shows
[考點(diǎn)分析] 動(dòng)詞固定搭配
[選項(xiàng)分析] Divorced persons may remarry, but a gender prejudice __19__up.該句語(yǔ)義為離過(guò)婚的人或許會(huì)再婚,但是性別偏見
。[A]項(xiàng)warm up加熱,熱身;[B]項(xiàng)clear up(天氣)變晴,收拾,消除;[C]項(xiàng)show up顯現(xiàn);[D]項(xiàng)break up分裂,分開;根據(jù)句意,選擇[C]項(xiàng)。
20.[A] while
[B] so that
[C] once
[D] in that
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [A] while
[選項(xiàng)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義
[考點(diǎn)分析] 本句句意為:離婚的男性再婚不需要等待期,女性必須等十個(gè)月。顯然前后兩句存在轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,只有[A]項(xiàng)while“然而”能夠表達(dá)這個(gè)意思。
Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Part A Directions:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions after each text by choosing A, B, C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40 points)Text 1
France, which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women.Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways.The parliament also agreed to ban websites that “incite excessive thinness” by promoting extreme dieting.Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives.They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health.That’s a start.And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death-as some have done.It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenage girls, about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.The bans, if fully enforced, would suggest to women(and many men)that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty.And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep — and bone-showing.Under the law, using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a $85,000 fine and six months in prison.The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types.In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.In contrast to France’s actions, Denmark’s fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age, health, and other characteristics of models.The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical Charter clearly states: “We are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals, especially on young people.’ The charter’s main tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week, which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute.But in general it relies on a name-and-shame method of compliance.Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be the best step.Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry.21.According to the first paragraph, what would happen in France?
[A] Physical beauty would be redefined.[B] New runways would be constructed.[C] Websites about dieting would thrive.[D] The fashion industry would decline.【答案】 [A] Physical beauty would be redefined
【解析】 推斷題。根據(jù)France定位到文章前兩段,第一段講法國(guó)決定時(shí)裝業(yè)失去了定義(define)形體美(physical beauty)的絕對(duì)權(quán)力。法國(guó)的立法者通過(guò)了一項(xiàng)法律,雇用超瘦的模特屬于犯罪,議會(huì)也禁止網(wǎng)站通過(guò)推崇極端節(jié)食“鼓動(dòng)過(guò)度瘦弱”。第二段第二句提到“They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health.That’s a start.他們建議美麗不應(yīng)該以傷害身體健康為代價(jià)的外表來(lái)界定。”由此可知,法國(guó)通過(guò)立法手段來(lái)改變法國(guó)時(shí)裝業(yè)模特超瘦的現(xiàn)狀,即[A]項(xiàng)的“形體美將會(huì)被重新定義”,是對(duì)原文內(nèi)容的合理推斷。[B]項(xiàng)“將會(huì)建造新的舞臺(tái)”,[C]項(xiàng)“有關(guān)節(jié)食的網(wǎng)站將會(huì)興起”,[D]項(xiàng)“時(shí)裝業(yè)將會(huì)衰退”,均不能從文中推測(cè)出來(lái),屬于“無(wú)中生有”。
22.The phrase “impinging on”(Line 2, Para 2)is closest in meaning to____
[A] heightening the value of.[B] indicating the state of.[C] losing faith in.[D] doing harm to.【答案】 [D] doing harm to
【解析】猜詞題。定位到第二段第二句“They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health.他們建議美麗不應(yīng)該以
身體健康為代價(jià)的外表來(lái)界定?!眎mpinging on后面的賓語(yǔ)為“health”,即對(duì)健康的某種影響。根據(jù)第二段第三句“對(duì)超瘦模特的禁令似乎不僅僅是在防止模特挨餓致死——正如曾有人這么做過(guò)的”,可見法國(guó)目前的對(duì)美麗的定義導(dǎo)致了有人為了保持身材,挨餓致死,因此推測(cè)出這一短語(yǔ)在這里的意思為“侵犯,傷害”,[D]項(xiàng)“對(duì)??有害”正確。[A]項(xiàng)“增強(qiáng)了??的價(jià)值”,[B]項(xiàng)“反映了??的狀態(tài)”,[C]項(xiàng)“對(duì)??失去信心”均不符合句意。
23.Which of the following is true of the fashion industry?
[A] The French measures have already failed.[B] New standards are being set in Denmark.[C] Model are no longer under peer pressure.[D] Its inherent problems are getting worse.【答案】 [B] New Standards are being set in Denmark
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第五段第二句話“In Denmark,...it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion...在丹麥,它正嘗試為模特設(shè)定自愿的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)??”,可知[B]項(xiàng)“在丹麥新的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)正在被設(shè)定”是對(duì)原文的同義替換。[A]項(xiàng)“法國(guó)的措施失敗了”;[C]項(xiàng)“不再有來(lái)自同行執(zhí)法的壓力”,文章第五段第二句后半句提到“images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement”,屬于“正反混淆”;[D]項(xiàng)“它固有的問(wèn)題變得更嚴(yán)重了”,文中第五段只提及時(shí)裝業(yè)有固有的問(wèn)題,并未提及“變得更嚴(yán)重”,屬于“無(wú)中生有”。
24.A designer is most likely to be rejected by CFW for ____
[A] setting a high age threshold for models.[B] caring too much about models’ character.[C] showing little concern for health factors.[D] pursuing perfect physical conditions.【答案】 [C] showing little concern for health factors
【解析】推斷題。題設(shè)為“一個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)師很可能因?yàn)槭裁丛虮籆FW拒絕”,根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞CFW可回到文中定位至倒數(shù)第二段,該段提到丹麥的時(shí)尚界就有關(guān)模特的年齡、健康及其他特性的內(nèi)容達(dá)成一致意見,且一項(xiàng)新法案也明確規(guī)定,他們已經(jīng)意識(shí)到時(shí)尚界對(duì)于人們尤其是年輕人的身體健康所帶來(lái)的影響,并且應(yīng)該對(duì)此承擔(dān)責(zé)任,這一法規(guī)的執(zhí)行方式就是拒絕一些設(shè)計(jì)師和模特經(jīng)紀(jì)機(jī)構(gòu)參加哥本哈根時(shí)裝周(CFW)。因此[C]項(xiàng)的“不關(guān)心健康因素”符合題意,為正確答案。[D]項(xiàng)“追求完美的身體狀況”,[B]項(xiàng)的“過(guò)多關(guān)注模特的性格”,[A]項(xiàng)“設(shè)定了一個(gè)模特高齡門檻”,均不符合題意。
25.Which of the following may be the best title of the text?
[A] The Great Threats to the Fashion Industry
[B] Just Another Round of Struggle for Beauty
[C] A Dilemma for the Starving Models in France
[D] A Challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals
【答案】 [D] A challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals
【解析】主旨題。本文從首段就開始闡述法國(guó)通過(guò)立法禁止雇用超瘦的模特,時(shí)裝業(yè)已經(jīng)失去了定義女性身體之美的絕對(duì)權(quán)力,且議會(huì)也禁止網(wǎng)站通過(guò)宣傳過(guò)度節(jié)食來(lái)強(qiáng)調(diào)過(guò)度消瘦。第二段繼續(xù)說(shuō)明美麗不能只看外表,更不能以犧牲健康為代價(jià),時(shí)裝業(yè)應(yīng)該為傳遞給女性的不良信息負(fù)責(zé)。第三段說(shuō)明女性不該讓他人來(lái)評(píng)判自己的美麗。第四段講法國(guó)的措施更多的是依靠嚴(yán)厲的懲罰。最后三段提到了丹麥與法國(guó)截然不同的措施??v觀全文,文章主要在講各個(gè)國(guó)家對(duì)解決目前模特超瘦的現(xiàn)狀的措施,因此[D]項(xiàng)的“對(duì)時(shí)裝業(yè)身體典范的挑戰(zhàn)”是對(duì)原文的“高度概括”。

Just how much does the Constitution protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling, particularly one that upsets the old assumptions that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest.It is hard, the state argues, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies.The court would be recklessly modest if it followed California's advice.Enough of the implications are discernable, even obvious, so that the justice can and should provide updated guidelines to police, lawyers and defendants.They should start by discarding California's lame argument that exploring the contents of a smartphone--a vast storehouse of digital information is similar to say, going through a suspect's purse.The court has ruled that police don't violate the Fourth Amendment when they go through the wallet or pocketbook, of an arrestee without a warrant.But exploring one's smartphone is more like entering his or her home.A smartphone may contain an arrestee's reading history, financial history, medical history and comprehensive records of recent correspondence.The development of “cloud computing,” meanwhile, has made that exploration so much the easier.But the justices should not swallow California's argument whole.New, disruptive technology sometimes demands novel applications of the Constitution's protections.Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a digital necessity of life in the 20th: The justices had to specify novel rules for the new personal domain of the passenger car then;they must sort out how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information now.26.The Supreme Court, will work out whether, during an arrest, it is legitimate to
[A] search for suspects' mobile phones without a warrant.[B] check suspects' phone contents without being authorized.[C] prevent suspects from deleting their phone contents.[D] prohibit suspects from using their mobile phones.27.The author's attitude toward California's argument is one of
[A] tolerance.[B] indifference.[C] disapproval.[D] cautiousness.28.The author believes that exploring one's phone content is comparable to
[A] getting into one's residence.[B] handing one's historical records.[C] scanning one's correspondences.[D] going through one's wallet.29.In Paragraph 5 and 6, the author shows his concern that
[A] principles are hard to be clearly expressed.[B] the court is giving police less room for action.[C] phones are used to store sensitive information.[D] citizens' privacy is not effective protected.30.Orin Kerr's comparison is quoted to indicate that(A)the Constitution should be implemented flexibly.(B)New technology requires reinterpretation of the Constitution.(C)California's argument violates principles of the Constitution.(D)Principles of the Constitution should never be altered.T2 答案B check suspects' phone contents without being authorized
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)自然段定位原則,定位到首段。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞supreme court,whether精確定位到第一段最后一句whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone?.,與選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行對(duì)應(yīng),即為B在不授權(quán)的情況下檢查嫌疑人的電話信息。注意A選項(xiàng)應(yīng)是search contents。
答案 C disapproval
解析:態(tài)度題。根據(jù)題干California's argument定位到第二段最后一句及第三段首句,這些句子中提到hard? recklessly modest?等負(fù)向詞,表達(dá)的是負(fù)面態(tài)度??催x項(xiàng)屬于負(fù)面的就是disapproval。A 容忍,B冷漠是典型錯(cuò)誤,D粗心。
答案A getting into one's residence
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。題干問(wèn):作者認(rèn)為搜索電話薄就相當(dāng)于什么?根據(jù)段落界定原則定位到第四段轉(zhuǎn)折處,提到But exploring one's smart phone is more like entering his or her home.與選項(xiàng)對(duì)應(yīng),A中的residence對(duì)應(yīng)home,是原文的同意替換。注意D選項(xiàng)不是作者的觀點(diǎn),不能將文中人物觀點(diǎn)當(dāng)作作者觀點(diǎn)。答案D citizens' privacy is not effective protected
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干定位到5段和6段,題干問(wèn)作者最關(guān)注的是什么,即是相應(yīng)段落的段落中心。因此,該題表面是細(xì)節(jié)題,實(shí)質(zhì)為段落核心。5段首句為中心句提到,應(yīng)采取措施保護(hù)數(shù)據(jù)隱私;6段又繼續(xù)陳述原則的不恰當(dāng)之處。根據(jù)這些內(nèi)容,對(duì)應(yīng)答案D 市民隱私未能得到有效保護(hù)。答案 B New technology requires reinterpretation of the Constitution 解析:例證題。題干問(wèn)的是引用Orin Kerr的目的是什么,即Orin Kerr是論據(jù),其目的是論點(diǎn)。論點(diǎn)往往在論據(jù)的前面,所以要找例子前面的一句話,即New, disruptive technology sometimes demands novel applications of the Constitution's protections.與選項(xiàng)對(duì)應(yīng),就是B new technology是原詞復(fù)現(xiàn),require等同于demands,reinterpretation of the Constitution同義替換applications of the Constitution's protections。Text 3
“There is one and only one social responsibility of businesses,” wrote Milton Friedman, a Nobel prize-winning economist, “That is, to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits.” But even if you accept Firedman’s premise and regard corporate social responsibility(CSR)policies as a waste of shareholders’ money, things may not be absolutely clear-cut.New research suggests that CSR may create monetary value for companies-at least when they are prosecuted for corruption.The largest firms in America and Britain together spend more than $ 15 billion a year on CSR, according to an estimate by EPG, a consulting firm.This could add value to their businesses in three ways.First, consumers may take CSR spending as a “signal” that a company’s products are of high quality.Second, customers may be willing to buy a company’s products as an indirect way to donate to the good causes it helps.And third, through a more diffuse “halo effect,” whereby its good deeds earn it greater consideration from consumers and others.Previous studies on CSR have had trouble differentiating these effects because consumers can be affected by all three.A recent study attempts to separate them by looking at bribery prosecutions under America’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act(FCPA).It argues that since prosecutors do not consume a company’s products as part of their investigations, they could be influenced only by the halo effect.The study found that, among prosecuted firms, those with the most comprehensive CSR programmes tended to get more lenient penalties.Their analysis ruled out the possibility that it was firms’ political influence, rather than their CSR stand, that accounted for the leniency: Companies that contributed more to political campaigns did not receive lower fines.In all, the study concludes that whereas prosecutors should only evaluate a case based on its merits, they do seem to be influenced by a company’s record in CSR.“We estimate that either eliminating a substantial labour-rights concern, such as child labour or increasing corpora giving by about 20% results in fines that generally are 40% lower than the typical punishment for briding foreign officials,” says one researcher.Researchers admit that their study does not answer the question of how much businesses ought to spend on CSR.Nor does it reveal how much companies are banking on the halo effect rather than the other possible benefits, when they decide their do-gooding policies.But at least they have demonstrated that when companies get into trouble with the law, evidence of good character can win them a less costly punishment.31.The author views Milton Friedman’s statement about CSR with [A] tolerance [B] skepticism [C] uncertainty [D] approval
【答案】[B]
【解析】觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。題干問(wèn)的是作者對(duì)有關(guān)CSR方面Milton Friedman的說(shuō)法是什么態(tài)度。根據(jù)信號(hào)詞Milton Friedman這個(gè)人定位到首段。注意題干問(wèn)的是作者的看法,因此定位到第二句but轉(zhuǎn)折處。But后句子的主干為:things may not be absolutely clear-cut,可見作者對(duì)Milton Friedman所說(shuō)的內(nèi)容并不完全贊同,故選擇答案[B]項(xiàng)懷疑。[A]項(xiàng)容忍,[C]項(xiàng)不確定,[D]項(xiàng)贊同,這三項(xiàng)均不是作者的態(tài)度,故排除。
32.According to Paragraph 2, CSR helps a company by
[A] winning trust from consumers.[B] guarding it against malpractices.[C] protecting it from being defamed.[D] raising the quality of its products.【答案】[A]
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的出處提示“Paragraph 2”定位到第二段第二句:This could add value to their businesses in three ways.This指的是CSR,根據(jù)接下來(lái)講到的三點(diǎn):第一點(diǎn)是,消費(fèi)者認(rèn)為這樣的公司產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量比較高;第二點(diǎn)是,顧客更愿意購(gòu)買這樣公司的產(chǎn)品;第三點(diǎn)是,通過(guò)一個(gè)更為廣泛的“暈輪效應(yīng)”,消費(fèi)者會(huì)更多地考慮這樣的公司的產(chǎn)品??芍蠧SR支出的公司會(huì)吸引更多的消費(fèi)者,[A]項(xiàng)“贏得消費(fèi)者的信任”,是對(duì)整個(gè)三點(diǎn)的總結(jié),故為正確答案。[B]項(xiàng) 防止公司里的玩忽職守,[C]項(xiàng) 保護(hù)公司免受毀謗,[D]項(xiàng) 提升公司產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量,均在原文中未提及,故排除。
33.The expression “more lenient’(Line 2, Para.4)is closest in meaning to [A] more effective [B] less controversial [C] less severe [D] more lasting
【答案】[C]
【解析】猜詞題。根據(jù)題干中的出處提示“l(fā)ine 2, para.4”及信號(hào)詞“more lenient”定位到原文中的第四段第一句:The study found that...penalties。明顯此句中more lenient 修飾 penalties(懲罰),要想推測(cè)出more lenient的含義,需要知道被起訴的公司中,那些有著全面的CSR項(xiàng)目的公司和penalties 之間的聯(lián)系。本項(xiàng)在第五段的最后一句最容易被看出來(lái),第五段最后一句提到那些在CSR有較大投資的公司,當(dāng)被起訴有賄賂行為時(shí),所受到的罰金要比通常的罰金低40%左右,可知這樣的公司會(huì)受到較輕的懲罰,故more lenient是較輕,即較不嚴(yán)重的意思,故選[C]項(xiàng)。[A]項(xiàng) 更有效的,[B]項(xiàng) 較少有爭(zhēng)議的,[D]項(xiàng) 更持久的,這三項(xiàng)均不是more lenient的意思,故排除。
34.When prosecutors evaluate a case, a company’s CSR record [A] has an impact on their decision.[B] comes across as reliable evidence.[C] increases the chance of being penalized.[D] constitutes part of the investigation.【答案】[A]
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干問(wèn)的是 CSR record 與 prosecutors evaluate a case 的關(guān)系,根據(jù)題干中的信號(hào)詞prosecutors evaluate a case可回文中定位到第五段第一句:In all...in CSR。這里的be influenced與[A]項(xiàng) has an impact 對(duì)應(yīng),即一個(gè)公司的CSR會(huì)影響檢察官對(duì)其案件的評(píng)估,故選[A]項(xiàng)。[B]項(xiàng)被檢察官認(rèn)為是可靠的證據(jù),[C]項(xiàng) 增加了被懲罰的機(jī)會(huì),[D]項(xiàng) 構(gòu)成了調(diào)查的一部分,這三項(xiàng)均在原文中沒有提及,故排除。
35.Which of the following is true of CSR, according to the last paragraph?
[A] Its negative effects on businesses are often overlooked.[B] The necessary amount of companies’ spending on it is unknown.[C] Companies’ financial capacity for it has been overestimated.[D] It has brought much benefit to the banking industry.【答案】[B]
【解析】判斷題題干問(wèn)的是根據(jù)最后一段,有關(guān)CSR的論述哪個(gè)是對(duì)的。定位到原文最后一段,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容可知“研究人員承認(rèn)到其研究沒有回答如下問(wèn)題:公司應(yīng)該在CSR方面花費(fèi)多少錢”。[B]項(xiàng)的意思是“公司在CSR方面的花費(fèi)是未知的”,屬于原文的同義替換,故正確。[A]項(xiàng) CSR對(duì)公司的負(fù)面影響經(jīng)常被忽視,[C]項(xiàng) 公司對(duì)CSR的經(jīng)濟(jì)承擔(dān)力被過(guò)高估計(jì)了,[D]項(xiàng) CSR給銀行業(yè)帶來(lái)了很多好處,這三項(xiàng)在文中均為提及,故排除。
Text 4
Two years ago, Rupert Murdoch's daughter, Elisabeth, spoke of the “unsettling dearth of integrity across so many of our institutions”.Integrity had collapsed, she argued, because of a collective acceptance that the only “sorting mechanism” in society should be profit and the market.But “it's us, human beings, we the people who create the society we want, not profit”.Driving her point home, she continued: “It's increasingly apparent that the absence of purpose, of a moral language within government, media or business could become one of the most dangerous goals for capitalism and freedom.” This same absence of moral purpose was wounding companies such as News International, she thought, making it more likely that it would lose its way as it had with widespread illegal telephone hacking.As the hacking trial concludes-finding guilty one ex-editor of the News of the World, Andy Coulson, for conspiring to hack phones, and finding his predecessor, Rebekah Brooks, innocent of the same charge-the wider issue of dearth of integrity still stands.Journalists are known to have hacked the phones of up to 5,500 people.This is hacking on an industrial scale, as was acknowledged by Glenn Mulcaire, the man hired by the News of the World in 2001 to be the point person for phone hacking.Others await trial.This saga still unfolds.In many respects, the dearth of moral purpose frames not only the fact of such widespread phone hacking but the terms on which the trial took place.One of the astonishing revelations was how little Rebekah Brooks knew of what went on in her newsroom, how little she thought to ask and the fact that she never inquired how the stories arrived.The core of her successful defense was that she knew nothing.In today's world, it has become normal that well-paid executives should not be accountable for what happens in the organizations that they run.Perhaps we should not be so surprised.For a generation, the collective doctrine has been that the sorting mechanism of society should be profit.The words that have mattered are efficiency, flexibility, shareholder value, business-friendly, wealth generation, sales, impact and, in newspapers, circulation.Words degraded to the margin have been justice, fairness, tolerance, proportionality and accountability.The purpose of editing the News of the World was not to promote reader understanding, to be fair in what was written or to betray any common humanity.It was to ruin lives in the quest for circulation and impact.Ms Brooks may or may not have had suspicions about how her journalists got their stories, but she asked no questions, gave no instructions-nor received traceable, recorded answers.36.According to the first two paragraphs, Elisabeth was upset by
(A)the consequences of the current sorting mechanism.(B)companies' financial loss due to immoral practices
(C)governmental ineffectiveness on moral issues.(D)the wide misuse of integrity among institutions.37.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that
(A)Glenn Mulcaire may deny phone hacking as a crime.(B)more journalists may be found guilty of phone hacking.(C)Andy Coulson should be held innocent of the charge.(D)phone hacking will be accepted on certain occasions.38.The author believes that Rebekah Brooks's defense
(A)revealed a cunning personality.(B)centered on trivial issues.(C)was hardly convincing.(D)was part of a conspiracy.39.The author holds that the current collective doctrine shows
(A)generally distorted values.(B)unfair wealth distribution.(C)a marginalized lifestyle.(D)a rigid moral code.40 Which of the following is suggested in the last paragraph?
(A)The quality of writings is of primary importance.(B)Common humanity is central to news reporting.(C)Moral awareness matters in editing a newspaper.(D)Journalists need stricter industrial regulations.36.答案A.The consequences of the current sorting mechanism.因果細(xì)節(jié)題
題目問(wèn)到Elisbeth 因什么而感到沮喪。定位在第一段第二句 Intergrity had collapsed,..., because of a collective acceptance that the only “sorting mechanism” in society should be profit and the market, 由于社會(huì)中唯一的分類機(jī)制是利潤(rùn)和市場(chǎng)這一共同的觀念,導(dǎo)致了正直這種道德品質(zhì)的淪喪。
37.答案 B more journalists may be found guilty of phone hacking 段落推斷題
定位到第三段第一句 As the hacking trial concludes....the wider issue of dearth of integrity still stands 正如竊聽案總結(jié)的那樣,仍然存在更廣泛的dearth of integrity 的事件,與選項(xiàng)B 對(duì)應(yīng)。
38.答案 C was hardly convincing 觀點(diǎn)細(xì)節(jié)題 根據(jù)第四段第二句中astonishing,how little...,how little...She never...以及第三句中She knew nothing 的語(yǔ)氣判斷作者的態(tài)度是認(rèn)為RB的辯護(hù)是沒有說(shuō)服力的。
39.答案 A generally distorted values 觀點(diǎn)細(xì)節(jié)題 題干定位在第五段第三句,答案定位在隨后的第四、第五句。The current collective doctrine 認(rèn)為重要的是 efficiency, flexibility, shareholder value...., 而認(rèn)為justice, fairness....不重要,故扭曲了價(jià)值觀。
40.答案是C
moral awareness matters in editing a newspaper.段落推斷題 定位在最后一段前兩句。世界新聞雜志的目的不是提升讀者的理解能力。。而是為了發(fā)行量和影響力而毀了人們的生活。從ruined the lives 的表達(dá)能看出作者希望雜志所做的是提高其道德意識(shí),與C選項(xiàng)對(duì)應(yīng)。

In the following article, some sentences have been removed.For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blank.There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(10 points)
How does your reading proceed? Clearly, you try to comprehend, in the sense of identifying meanings for individual words and working out relationships between them, drawing on your implicit knowledge of English grammar.(41)________________.You begin to infer a context for the text, for instance, by making decisions about what kind of speech event is evolved.Who is making the utterance, to whom, when and where?
The ways of reading indicated here are without doubt kinds of comprehension but they show comprehension to consist not just of passive assimilation but of active engagement in inference and problem-solving.You infer information you feel the writer has invited you to grasp by presenting you with specific evidence and clues.(42)________________
Conceived in this way, comprehension will not follow exactly the same track for each reader.What is in question is not the retrieval of an absolute, fixed or “true” meaning that can be read off and checked for accuracy, or some timeless relationship of the text to the world.(43)_____________
Such background material inevitably reflects who we are.(44)_____________.This does not, however, make interpretation merely relative or even pointless.Precisely because readers from different historical periods, places and social experiences produce different but overlapping readings of the same words on the page---including for texts that engage with fundamental human concerns---debates about texts can play an important role in social discussion of belief and values.How we read a given text also depends to some extent on our particular interest in reading it.(45)_____________.Such dimensions of reading suggest---as others introduced later in the book will also do--that we bring an implicit(often unacknowledged)agenda to any act of reading.It does not then necessarily follow that one kind of reading is fuller, more advanced or more worthwhile than another.Ideally, different minds of reading inform each other, and act as useful reference points for and counterbalances to one another.Together, they make up the reading component of your overall literacy, or relationship to your surrounding textual environment.[A] Are we studying that text and trying to respond in a way that fulfills the requirement of a given course? Reading it simply for pleasure? Skimming it for information? Ways of reading on a train or in bed are likely to differ considerably from reading in a seminar room.[B] Factors such as the place and period in which we are reading, our gender ethnicity, age and social class will encourage us towards certain interpretations but at the same time obscure or even close off others.[C] If you are unfamiliar with words or idioms, you guess at their meaning, using clues presented in the context.On the assumption that they will become relevant later, you make a mental note of discourse entities as well as possible links between them.[D]In effect, you try to reconstruct the likely meanings or effects that any given sentence, image or reference might have had: These might be the ones the author intended.[E] You make further inferences, for instance, about how the text may be significant to you, or about its validity-inferences that form the basis of a personal response for which the author will inevitably be far less responsible.[F] In plays, novels and narrative poems, characters speak as constructs created by the author, not necessarily as mouthpieces for the author's own thoughts.[G]Rather, we ascribe meanings to texts on the basis of interaction between what we might call textual and contextual material: between kinds of organizations or patterning we perceive in a text's formal structures(so especially its language structures)and various kinds of background, social knowledge, belief and attitude that we bring to the text.41 【C】

Within the span of a hundred years, in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, a tide of emigration-one of the great folk wanderings of history-swept from Europe to America.46)This movement, driven by powerful motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent.47)The United States is the product of two principal forces-the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits.Of necessity, colonial America was a projection of Europe.Across the Atlantic came successive groups of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Scots, Irishmen, Dutchmen, Swedes, and many others who attempted to transplant their habits and traditions to the new world.48)But the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the varied national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes.These changes were gradual and at first scarcely visible.But the result was a new social pattern which, although it resembled European society in many ways, had a character that was distinctly American.49)The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crossed the Atlantic more than a hundred years after the fifteenth-and sixteenth-century explorations of North America.In the meantime, thriving Spanish colonies had been established in Mexico, the West Indies, and South America.These travelers to North America came in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft.During their six-to twelve-week voyage, they subsisted on meager rations.Many of the ships were lost in storms, many passengers died of disease, and infants rarely survived the journey.Sometimes tempests blew the vessels far off their course, and often calm brought interminable delay.To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brought almost inexpressible relief.Said one chronicler, “The air at twelve leagues' distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden.” The colonists' first glimpse of the new land was a vista of dense woods.50)The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a real treasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia.Here was abundant fuel and lumber.Here was the raw material of houses and furniture, ships and potash, dyes and naval stores.文章來(lái)源于An Outline of American History,《美國(guó)歷史綱要》,是一本歷史學(xué)方面的專著。
46)This movement, driven by powerful motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent.【句子結(jié)構(gòu)】本句的主干為:this movement built a nation and shaped the character and destiny。driven by powerful motivations為過(guò)去分詞做狀語(yǔ),分隔了主謂。out of a wilderness和by its nature為介詞短語(yǔ)做狀語(yǔ),分別修飾built和shaped。
【參考譯文】受到多種強(qiáng)大的動(dòng)機(jī)驅(qū)動(dòng),這次移民在一片荒野上建起了一個(gè)國(guó)家,由于其本質(zhì),它也塑造了一個(gè)未知大陸的性格和命運(yùn)。
47)The United States is the product of two principal forces--the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits.【句子結(jié)構(gòu)】本句主干為The United States is the product。破折號(hào)之后the immigration and the impact為two principal forces。of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics為the immigration的定語(yǔ),of a new country為the impact的定語(yǔ),之后which引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句,修飾a new country。
【參考譯文】美國(guó)產(chǎn)生于兩個(gè)主要力量:思想習(xí)俗、民族特色各異的歐洲移民,以及改造這些特征的新國(guó)家所產(chǎn)生的影響。
But the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the varied national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes.【句子結(jié)構(gòu)】本句的主干為But the force, the interplay and the sheer difficulty caused changes。本句主語(yǔ)較長(zhǎng),為并列的三個(gè)名詞the force, the interplay and the sheer difficulty,之后又分別有較長(zhǎng)的定語(yǔ)修飾:介詞短語(yǔ)of geographic conditions為the force的定語(yǔ),之后peculiar to America為形容詞短語(yǔ)修飾geographic conditions;介詞短語(yǔ)of the varied national groups和upon one another同時(shí)修飾the interplay;of maintaining old-world ways 和in a raw, new continent同時(shí)修飾the sheer difficulty。
【參考譯文】但是,美國(guó)擁有獨(dú)特的地理?xiàng)l件,不同民族之間產(chǎn)生了相互的作用,因此,在一片原始新大陸上,維護(hù)舊大陸方式產(chǎn)生了純粹的困難,這一切引發(fā)了重大的變化。
The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crossed the Atlantic more than a hundred years after the fifteenth-and sixteenth-century explorations of North America.【句子結(jié)構(gòu)】本句的主干為The first shiploads of immigrants crossed the Atlantic。bound for the territory為immigrants的定語(yǔ),之后which引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句修飾the territory。more than a hundred years after the fifteenth-and sixteenth-century explorations of North America為狀語(yǔ)。
【參考譯文】在15-16世紀(jì)北美探索的一百多年之后,運(yùn)往如今的美國(guó)這片新領(lǐng)土的第一船移民橫渡了大西洋。
The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a real treasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia.【句子結(jié)構(gòu)】本句主干為The virgin forest was a real treasure-house。主語(yǔ)之后with its richness and variety of trees為其定語(yǔ),表語(yǔ)a real treasure-house后是which引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句對(duì)其進(jìn)行修飾。
【參考譯文】擁有豐富多樣樹種的原始森林是一個(gè)真正的寶庫(kù),它從緬因州一直延伸到喬治亞州。

What is symbolically depicted in the caricatures carries sharp contrast implications.In the first drawing, a father is watching a football match on the sofa.Meanwhile, he is supervising his son to finish homework.It is obvious that his son wears frowned expression on his face.On the contrary, the second portrayal depicts a father is working earnestly besides his son, and his son is doing his own assignment without prodding.The drawer demonstrates that utmost significance should be attached to the phenomenon that setting proper examples has exerted great impact on the growth of the younger generation in China.Previously, it is widely acknowledged that parents are under obligation to help their kids form a set of appropriate values about the world and the life, which carries overwhelmingly precious connotation to the sound development on the younger generation.Simultaneously, there is no denying that the most rational method for adults to educate adolescents is to set them good examples rather than making perpetual requirements, which is less persuasive compared with the actions.Accordingly, it is vital for us to derive positive implication from the drawings.On the one hand, we can frequently use them to enlighten parents to be more advisable in educating their children.On the other hand, parents should attach more emphasis on setting excellent models for their juveniles.Only in this way, can we effectively ensure a promising prospect for adolescents.面,我們要指出手機(jī)的弊端,給我們生活帶來(lái)了很多負(fù)面影響。第三段評(píng)論段的寫作內(nèi)容為給出自己的評(píng)論和建議??梢灾赋瞿贻p人應(yīng)該重視面對(duì)面的交流!最后一句可以展望一下未來(lái),說(shuō)如果我們放下手機(jī)拿起筷子享受美食,和諧的關(guān)系就會(huì)出現(xiàn)了!

[選項(xiàng)分析] 根據(jù)該句的主語(yǔ)a young man與賓語(yǔ)a likely spouse的關(guān)系,答案只能是[D]項(xiàng)decide on“決定”,表示自己決定自己的配偶。[B]項(xiàng)provide for為??提供準(zhǔn)備??,可銳教育官網(wǎng)http://004km.cn

[選項(xiàng)分析] 該句意思為:他可以自己選擇自己中意的伴侶并讓父母_____婚姻談判。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,[A]項(xiàng)close 關(guān)閉;[B]項(xiàng)renew 更新,恢復(fù);[D]項(xiàng)postpone 推遲;這三項(xiàng)語(yǔ)義不正確,只有[C]項(xiàng)arrange“安排”符合語(yǔ)境。

[B] In theory
[C] In time
[D] For example
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [B] In theory
[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義
[選項(xiàng)分析] 邏輯判斷題主要是看前后兩句的含義,前面說(shuō)“他可以自己選擇自己中意的伴侶并讓父母安排婚姻談判,或者完全由父母選擇對(duì)象,不給孩子選擇的機(jī)會(huì)?!笨崭窈竺嬲f(shuō)“女方可以否決她父母所選擇的對(duì)象。”這兩句之間顯然是相反的關(guān)系,且有一個(gè)may,更證明[B]項(xiàng)In theory“理論上說(shuō)”的正確性,而其他選項(xiàng)[A]項(xiàng)Above all最重要的是,[C]項(xiàng)In time 準(zhǔn)時(shí),[D]項(xiàng)For example舉例,均不符合題意。

[選項(xiàng)分析] Each spouse retains ___16___ property he or she __17__ into the marriage.17小題四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是動(dòng)詞,所以該句意思為:夫婦雙方保有財(cái)產(chǎn),這個(gè)財(cái)產(chǎn)是他或她進(jìn)婚姻的。結(jié)合[A]項(xiàng) whereever“無(wú)論何地;任何(地方)=any place where(定從)”;[B]項(xiàng) whatever“無(wú)論什么;任何(東西)=anything that/any+N that”;[C]項(xiàng) whenever無(wú)論何時(shí);任何時(shí)間=any time when;[D]項(xiàng) however無(wú)論如何;無(wú)論多么。根據(jù)語(yǔ)義,這里應(yīng)該不是讓步的關(guān)系,而且填的這個(gè)詞還要能修飾property。因此,選擇[B]項(xiàng),等于retains any property that he or she??。

[D] in that
[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [A] while

[考點(diǎn)分析] 本句句意為:離婚的男性再婚不需要等待期,女性必須等十個(gè)月。顯然前后兩句存在轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,只有[A]項(xiàng)while“然而”能夠表達(dá)這個(gè)意思。

France, which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women.Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways.The parliament also agreed to ban websites that “incite excessive thinness” by promoting extreme dieting.Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives.They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health.That’s a start.And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death-as some have done.It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenage girls, about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.The bans, if fully enforced, would suggest to women(and many men)that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty.And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep — and bone-showing.Under the law, using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a $85,000 可銳教育官網(wǎng)http://004km.cn
fine and six months in prison.The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types.In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.In contrast to France’s actions, Denmark’s fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age, health, and other characteristics of models.The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical Charter clearly states: “We are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals, especially on young people.’ The charter’s main tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week, which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute.But in general it relies on a name-and-shame method of compliance.Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be the best step.Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry.21.According to the first paragraph, what would happen in France?
[A] Physical beauty would be redefined.[B] New runways would be constructed.[C] Websites about dieting would thrive.[D] The fashion industry would decline.【答案】 [A] Physical beauty would be redefined
【解析】 推斷題。根據(jù)France定位到文章前兩段,第一段講法國(guó)決定時(shí)裝業(yè)失去了定義(define)形體美(physical beauty)的絕對(duì)權(quán)力。法國(guó)的立法者通過(guò)了一項(xiàng)法律,雇用超瘦的模特屬于犯罪,議會(huì)也禁止網(wǎng)站通過(guò)推崇極端節(jié)食“鼓動(dòng)過(guò)度瘦弱”。第二段第二句提到“They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health.That’s a start.他們建議美麗不應(yīng)該以傷害身體健康為代價(jià)的外表來(lái)界定。”由此可知,法國(guó)通過(guò)立法手段來(lái)改變法國(guó)時(shí)裝業(yè)模特超瘦的現(xiàn)狀,即[A]項(xiàng)的“形體美將會(huì)被重新定義”,是對(duì)原文內(nèi)容的合理推斷。[B]項(xiàng)“將會(huì)建造新的舞臺(tái)”,[C]項(xiàng)“有關(guān)節(jié)食的網(wǎng)站將會(huì)興起”,[D]項(xiàng)“時(shí)裝業(yè)將會(huì)衰退”,均不能從文中推測(cè)出來(lái),屬于“無(wú)中生有”。
22.The phrase “impinging on”(Line 2, Para 2)is closest in meaning to____
[A] heightening the value of.[B] indicating the state of.[C] losing faith in.[D] doing harm to.【答案】 [D] doing harm to
【解析】猜詞題。定位到第二段第二句“They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health.他們建議美麗不應(yīng)該以
身體健康為代價(jià)的外表來(lái)界定?!眎mpinging on后面的賓語(yǔ)為“health”,即對(duì)健康的某種影響。根據(jù)第二段第三句“對(duì)超瘦模特的禁令似乎不僅僅是在防止模特挨餓致死——正如曾有人這么做過(guò)的”,可見法國(guó)目前的對(duì)美麗的定義導(dǎo)致了有人為了保持身材,挨餓致死,因此推測(cè)出這一短語(yǔ)在這里的意可銳教育官網(wǎng)http://004km.cn
思為“侵犯,傷害”,[D]項(xiàng)“對(duì)??有害”正確。[A]項(xiàng)“增強(qiáng)了??的價(jià)值”,[B]項(xiàng)“反映了??的狀態(tài)”,[C]項(xiàng)“對(duì)??失去信心”均不符合句意。
23.Which of the following is true of the fashion industry?
[A] The French measures have already failed.[B] New standards are being set in Denmark.[C] Model are no longer under peer pressure.[D] Its inherent problems are getting worse.【答案】 [B] New Standards are being set in Denmark
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第五段第二句話“In Denmark,...it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion...在丹麥,它正嘗試為模特設(shè)定自愿的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)??”,可知[B]項(xiàng)“在丹麥新的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)正在被設(shè)定”是對(duì)原文的同義替換。[A]項(xiàng)“法國(guó)的措施失敗了”;[C]項(xiàng)“不再有來(lái)自同行執(zhí)法的壓力”,文章第五段第二句后半句提到“images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement”,屬于“正反混淆”;[D]項(xiàng)“它固有的問(wèn)題變得更嚴(yán)重了”,文中第五段只提及時(shí)裝業(yè)有固有的問(wèn)題,并未提及“變得更嚴(yán)重”,屬于“無(wú)中生有”。
24.A designer is most likely to be rejected by CFW for ____
[A] setting a high age threshold for models.[B] caring too much about models’ character.[C] showing little concern for health factors.[D] pursuing perfect physical conditions.【答案】 [C] showing little concern for health factors
【解析】推斷題。題設(shè)為“一個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)師很可能因?yàn)槭裁丛虮籆FW拒絕”,根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞CFW可回到文中定位至倒數(shù)第二段,該段提到丹麥的時(shí)尚界就有關(guān)模特的年齡、健康及其他特性的內(nèi)容達(dá)成一致意見,且一項(xiàng)新法案也明確規(guī)定,他們已經(jīng)意識(shí)到時(shí)尚界對(duì)于人們尤其是年輕人的身體健康所帶來(lái)的影響,并且應(yīng)該對(duì)此承擔(dān)責(zé)任,這一法規(guī)的執(zhí)行方式就是拒絕一些設(shè)計(jì)師和模特經(jīng)紀(jì)機(jī)構(gòu)參加哥本哈根時(shí)裝周(CFW)。因此[C]項(xiàng)的“不關(guān)心健康因素”符合題意,為正確答案。[D]項(xiàng)“追求完美的身體狀況”,[B]項(xiàng)的“過(guò)多關(guān)注模特的性格”,[A]項(xiàng)“設(shè)定了一個(gè)模特高齡門檻”,均不符合題意。
25.Which of the following may be the best title of the text?
[A] The Great Threats to the Fashion Industry
[B] Just Another Round of Struggle for Beauty
[C] A Dilemma for the Starving Models in France
[D] A Challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals
【答案】 [D] A challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals
【解析】主旨題。本文從首段就開始闡述法國(guó)通過(guò)立法禁止雇用超瘦的模特,時(shí)裝業(yè)已經(jīng)失去了定義女性身體之美的絕對(duì)權(quán)力,且議會(huì)也禁止網(wǎng)站通過(guò)宣傳過(guò)度節(jié)食來(lái)強(qiáng)調(diào)過(guò)度消瘦。第二段繼續(xù)說(shuō)明美麗不能只看外表,更不能以犧牲健康為代價(jià),時(shí)裝業(yè)應(yīng)該為傳遞給女性的不良信息負(fù)責(zé)。第三段說(shuō)明女性不該讓他人來(lái)評(píng)判自己的美麗。第四段講法國(guó)的措施更多的是依靠嚴(yán)厲的懲罰。最后三段提到了丹麥與法國(guó)截然不同的措施??v觀全文,文章主要可銳教育官網(wǎng)http://004km.cn
在講各個(gè)國(guó)家對(duì)解決目前模特超瘦的現(xiàn)狀的措施,因此[D]項(xiàng)的“對(duì)時(shí)裝業(yè)身體典范的挑戰(zhàn)”是對(duì)原文的“高度概括”。

Just how much does the Constitution protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling, particularly one that upsets the old assumptions that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest.It is hard, the state argues, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies.The court would be recklessly modest if it followed California's advice.Enough of the implications are discernable, even obvious, so that the justice can and should provide updated guidelines to police, lawyers and defendants.They should start by discarding California's lame argument that exploring the contents of a smartphone--a vast storehouse of digital information is similar to say, going through a suspect's purse.The court has ruled that police don't violate the Fourth Amendment when they go through the wallet or pocketbook, of an arrestee without a warrant.But exploring one's smartphone is more like entering his or her home.A smartphone may contain an arrestee's reading history, financial history, medical history and comprehensive records of recent correspondence.The development of “cloud computing,” meanwhile, has made that exploration so much the easier.But the justices should not swallow California's argument whole.New, disruptive technology sometimes demands novel applications of the Constitution's protections.Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a digital necessity of life in the 20th: The justices had to specify novel rules for the new personal domain of the passenger car then;they must sort out how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information now.26.The Supreme Court, will work out whether, during an arrest, it is legitimate to
[A] search for suspects' mobile phones without a warrant.[B] check suspects' phone contents without being authorized.[C] prevent suspects from deleting their phone contents.[D] prohibit suspects from using their mobile phones.27.The author's attitude toward California's argument is one of
[A] tolerance.[B] indifference.[C] disapproval.[D] cautiousness.28.The author believes that exploring one's phone content is comparable to
[A] getting into one's residence.[B] handing one's historical records.[C] scanning one's correspondences.[D] going through one's wallet.29.In Paragraph 5 and 6, the author shows his concern that 可銳教育官網(wǎng)http://004km.cn
[A] principles are hard to be clearly expressed.[B] the court is giving police less room for action.[C] phones are used to store sensitive information.[D] citizens' privacy is not effective protected.30.Orin Kerr's comparison is quoted to indicate that(A)the Constitution should be implemented flexibly.(B)New technology requires reinterpretation of the Constitution.(C)California's argument violates principles of the Constitution.(D)Principles of the Constitution should never be altered.T2 答案B check suspects' phone contents without being authorized
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)自然段定位原則,定位到首段。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞supreme court,whether精確定位到第一段最后一句whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone?.,與選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行對(duì)應(yīng),即為B在不授權(quán)的情況下檢查嫌疑人的電話信息。注意A選項(xiàng)應(yīng)是search contents。
答案 C disapproval
解析:態(tài)度題。根據(jù)題干California's argument定位到第二段最后一句及第三段首句,這些句子中提到hard? recklessly modest?等負(fù)向詞,表達(dá)的是負(fù)面態(tài)度??催x項(xiàng)屬于負(fù)面的就是disapproval。A 容忍,B冷漠是典型錯(cuò)誤,D粗心。
答案A getting into one's residence
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。題干問(wèn):作者認(rèn)為搜索電話薄就相當(dāng)于什么?根據(jù)段落界定原則定位到第四段轉(zhuǎn)折處,提到But exploring one's smart phone is more like entering his or her home.與選項(xiàng)對(duì)應(yīng),A中的residence對(duì)應(yīng)home,是原文的同意替換。注意D選項(xiàng)不是作者的觀點(diǎn),不能將文中人物觀點(diǎn)當(dāng)作作者觀點(diǎn)。答案D citizens' privacy is not effective protected
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干定位到5段和6段,題干問(wèn)作者最關(guān)注的是什么,即是相應(yīng)段落的段落中心。因此,該題表面是細(xì)節(jié)題,實(shí)質(zhì)為段落核心。5段首句為中心句提到,應(yīng)采取措施保護(hù)數(shù)據(jù)隱私;6段又繼續(xù)陳述原則的不恰當(dāng)之處。根據(jù)這些內(nèi)容,對(duì)應(yīng)答案D 市民隱私未能得到有效保護(hù)。答案 B New technology requires reinterpretation of the Constitution 解析:例證題。題干問(wèn)的是引用Orin Kerr的目的是什么,即Orin Kerr是論據(jù),其目的是論點(diǎn)。論點(diǎn)往往在論據(jù)的前面,所以要找例子前面的一句話,即New, disruptive technology sometimes demands novel applications of the Constitution's protections.與選項(xiàng)對(duì)應(yīng),就是B new technology是原詞復(fù)現(xiàn),require等同于demands,reinterpretation of the Constitution同義替換applications of the Constitution's protections。Text 3
“There is one and only one social responsibility of businesses,” wrote Milton Friedman, a Nobel prize-winning economist, “That is, to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits.” But even if you accept Firedman’s premise and regard corporate social responsibility(CSR)policies as a waste of shareholders’ money, things may not be absolutely clear-cut.New research suggests that CSR may create monetary value for companies-at least when they are prosecuted for corruption.The largest firms in America and Britain together spend more than $ 15 billion a year on CSR, according to an estimate by EPG, a consulting firm.This could add value to their businesses in 可銳教育官網(wǎng)http://004km.cn
three ways.First, consumers may take CSR spending as a “signal” that a company’s products are of high quality.Second, customers may be willing to buy a company’s products as an indirect way to donate to the good causes it helps.And third, through a more diffuse “halo effect,” whereby its good deeds earn it greater consideration from consumers and others.Previous studies on CSR have had trouble differentiating these effects because consumers can be affected by all three.A recent study attempts to separate them by looking at bribery prosecutions under America’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act(FCPA).It argues that since prosecutors do not consume a company’s products as part of their investigations, they could be influenced only by the halo effect.The study found that, among prosecuted firms, those with the most comprehensive CSR programmes tended to get more lenient penalties.Their analysis ruled out the possibility that it was firms’ political influence, rather than their CSR stand, that accounted for the leniency: Companies that contributed more to political campaigns did not receive lower fines.In all, the study concludes that whereas prosecutors should only evaluate a case based on its merits, they do seem to be influenced by a company’s record in CSR.“We estimate that either eliminating a substantial labour-rights concern, such as child labour or increasing corpora giving by about 20% results in fines that generally are 40% lower than the typical punishment for briding foreign officials,” says one researcher.Researchers admit that their study does not answer the question of how much businesses ought to spend on CSR.Nor does it reveal how much companies are banking on the halo effect rather than the other possible benefits, when they decide their do-gooding policies.But at least they have demonstrated that when companies get into trouble with the law, evidence of good character can win them a less costly punishment.31.The author views Milton Friedman’s statement about CSR with [A] tolerance [B] skepticism [C] uncertainty [D] approval
【答案】[B]
【解析】觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。題干問(wèn)的是作者對(duì)有關(guān)CSR方面Milton Friedman的說(shuō)法是什么態(tài)度。根據(jù)信號(hào)詞Milton Friedman這個(gè)人定位到首段。注意題干問(wèn)的是作者的看法,因此定位到第二句but轉(zhuǎn)折處。But后句子的主干為:things may not be absolutely clear-cut,可見作者對(duì)Milton Friedman所說(shuō)的內(nèi)容并不完全贊同,故選擇答案[B]項(xiàng)懷疑。[A]項(xiàng)容忍,[C]項(xiàng)不確定,[D]項(xiàng)贊同,這三項(xiàng)均不是作者的態(tài)度,故排除。
32.According to Paragraph 2, CSR helps a company by
[A] winning trust from consumers.[B] guarding it against malpractices.[C] protecting it from being defamed.[D] raising the quality of its products.【答案】[A] 可銳教育官網(wǎng)http://004km.cn
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的出處提示“Paragraph 2”定位到第二段第二句:This could add value to their businesses in three ways.This指的是CSR,根據(jù)接下來(lái)講到的三點(diǎn):第一點(diǎn)是,消費(fèi)者認(rèn)為這樣的公司產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量比較高;第二點(diǎn)是,顧客更愿意購(gòu)買這樣公司的產(chǎn)品;第三點(diǎn)是,通過(guò)一個(gè)更為廣泛的“暈輪效應(yīng)”,消費(fèi)者會(huì)更多地考慮這樣的公司的產(chǎn)品??芍?,有CSR支出的公司會(huì)吸引更多的消費(fèi)者,[A]項(xiàng)“贏得消費(fèi)者的信任”,是對(duì)整個(gè)三點(diǎn)的總結(jié),故為正確答案。[B]項(xiàng) 防止公司里的玩忽職守,[C]項(xiàng) 保護(hù)公司免受毀謗,[D]項(xiàng) 提升公司產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量,均在原文中未提及,故排除。
33.The expression “more lenient’(Line 2, Para.4)is closest in meaning to [A] more effective [B] less controversial [C] less severe [D] more lasting
【答案】[C]
【解析】猜詞題。根據(jù)題干中的出處提示“l(fā)ine 2, para.4”及信號(hào)詞“more lenient”定位到原文中的第四段第一句:The study found that...penalties。明顯此句中more lenient 修飾 penalties(懲罰),要想推測(cè)出more lenient的含義,需要知道被起訴的公司中,那些有著全面的CSR項(xiàng)目的公司和penalties 之間的聯(lián)系。本項(xiàng)在第五段的最后一句最容易被看出來(lái),第五段最后一句提到那些在CSR有較大投資的公司,當(dāng)被起訴有賄賂行為時(shí),所受到的罰金要比通常的罰金低40%左右,可知這樣的公司會(huì)受到較輕的懲罰,故more lenient是較輕,即較不嚴(yán)重的意思,故選[C]項(xiàng)。[A]項(xiàng) 更有效的,[B]項(xiàng) 較少有爭(zhēng)議的,[D]項(xiàng) 更持久的,這三項(xiàng)均不是more lenient的意思,故排除。
34.When prosecutors evaluate a case, a company’s CSR record [A] has an impact on their decision.[B] comes across as reliable evidence.[C] increases the chance of being penalized.[D] constitutes part of the investigation.【答案】[A]
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干問(wèn)的是 CSR record 與 prosecutors evaluate a case 的關(guān)系,根據(jù)題干中的信號(hào)詞prosecutors evaluate a case可回文中定位到第五段第一句:In all...in CSR。這里的be influenced與[A]項(xiàng) has an impact 對(duì)應(yīng),即一個(gè)公司的CSR會(huì)影響檢察官對(duì)其案件的評(píng)估,故選[A]項(xiàng)。[B]項(xiàng)被檢察官認(rèn)為是可靠的證據(jù),[C]項(xiàng) 增加了被懲罰的機(jī)會(huì),[D]項(xiàng) 構(gòu)成了調(diào)查的一部分,這三項(xiàng)均在原文中沒有提及,故排除。
35.Which of the following is true of CSR, according to the last paragraph?
[A] Its negative effects on businesses are often overlooked.[B] The necessary amount of companies’ spending on it is unknown.[C] Companies’ financial capacity for it has been overestimated.[D] It has brought much benefit to the banking industry.【答案】[B] 可銳教育官網(wǎng)http://004km.cn
【解析】判斷題題干問(wèn)的是根據(jù)最后一段,有關(guān)CSR的論述哪個(gè)是對(duì)的。定位到原文最后一段,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容可知“研究人員承認(rèn)到其研究沒有回答如下問(wèn)題:公司應(yīng)該在CSR方面花費(fèi)多少錢”。[B]項(xiàng)的意思是“公司在CSR方面的花費(fèi)是未知的”,屬于原文的同義替換,故正確。[A]項(xiàng) CSR對(duì)公司的負(fù)面影響經(jīng)常被忽視,[C]項(xiàng) 公司對(duì)CSR的經(jīng)濟(jì)承擔(dān)力被過(guò)高估計(jì)了,[D]項(xiàng) CSR給銀行業(yè)帶來(lái)了很多好處,這三項(xiàng)在文中均為提及,故排除。
Text 4
Two years ago, Rupert Murdoch's daughter, Elisabeth, spoke of the “unsettling dearth of integrity across so many of our institutions”.Integrity had collapsed, she argued, because of a collective acceptance that the only “sorting mechanism” in society should be profit and the market.But “it's us, human beings, we the people who create the society we want, not profit”.Driving her point home, she continued: “It's increasingly apparent that the absence of purpose, of a moral language within government, media or business could become one of the most dangerous goals for capitalism and freedom.” This same absence of moral purpose was wounding companies such as News International, she thought, making it more likely that it would lose its way as it had with widespread illegal telephone hacking.As the hacking trial concludes-finding guilty one ex-editor of the News of the World, Andy Coulson, for conspiring to hack phones, and finding his predecessor, Rebekah Brooks, innocent of the same charge-the wider issue of dearth of integrity still stands.Journalists are known to have hacked the phones of up to 5,500 people.This is hacking on an industrial scale, as was acknowledged by Glenn Mulcaire, the man hired by the News of the World in 2001 to be the point person for phone hacking.Others await trial.This saga still unfolds.In many respects, the dearth of moral purpose frames not only the fact of such widespread phone hacking but the terms on which the trial took place.One of the astonishing revelations was how little Rebekah Brooks knew of what went on in her newsroom, how little she thought to ask and the fact that she never inquired how the stories arrived.The core of her successful defense was that she knew nothing.In today's world, it has become normal that well-paid executives should not be accountable for what happens in the organizations that they run.Perhaps we should not be so surprised.For a generation, the collective doctrine has been that the sorting mechanism of society should be profit.The words that have mattered are efficiency, flexibility, shareholder value, business-friendly, wealth generation, sales, impact and, in newspapers, circulation.Words degraded to the margin have been justice, fairness, tolerance, proportionality and accountability.The purpose of editing the News of the World was not to promote reader understanding, to be fair in what was written or to betray any common humanity.It was to ruin lives in the quest for circulation and impact.Ms Brooks may or may not have had suspicions about how her journalists got their stories, but she asked no questions, gave no instructions-nor received traceable, recorded answers.36.According to the first two paragraphs, Elisabeth was upset by
(A)the consequences of the current sorting mechanism.(B)companies' financial loss due to immoral practices
(C)governmental ineffectiveness on moral issues.(D)the wide misuse of integrity among institutions.37.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that 可銳教育官網(wǎng)http://004km.cn
(A)Glenn Mulcaire may deny phone hacking as a crime.(B)more journalists may be found guilty of phone hacking.(C)Andy Coulson should be held innocent of the charge.(D)phone hacking will be accepted on certain occasions.38.The author believes that Rebekah Brooks's defense
(A)revealed a cunning personality.(B)centered on trivial issues.(C)was hardly convincing.(D)was part of a conspiracy.39.The author holds that the current collective doctrine shows
(A)generally distorted values.(B)unfair wealth distribution.(C)a marginalized lifestyle.(D)a rigid moral code.40 Which of the following is suggested in the last paragraph?
(A)The quality of writings is of primary importance.(B)Common humanity is central to news reporting.(C)Moral awareness matters in editing a newspaper.(D)Journalists need stricter industrial regulations.36.答案A.The consequences of the current sorting mechanism.因果細(xì)節(jié)題
題目問(wèn)到Elisbeth 因什么而感到沮喪。定位在第一段第二句 Intergrity had collapsed,..., because of a collective acceptance that the only “sorting mechanism” in society should be profit and the market, 由于社會(huì)中唯一的分類機(jī)制是利潤(rùn)和市場(chǎng)這一共同的觀念,導(dǎo)致了正直這種道德品質(zhì)的淪喪。
37.答案 B more journalists may be found guilty of phone hacking 段落推斷題
定位到第三段第一句 As the hacking trial concludes....the wider issue of dearth of integrity still stands 正如竊聽案總結(jié)的那樣,仍然存在更廣泛的dearth of integrity 的事件,與選項(xiàng)B 對(duì)應(yīng)。
38.答案 C was hardly convincing 觀點(diǎn)細(xì)節(jié)題 根據(jù)第四段第二句中astonishing,how little...,how little...She never...以及第三句中She knew nothing 的語(yǔ)氣判斷作者的態(tài)度是認(rèn)為RB的辯護(hù)是沒有說(shuō)服力的。
39.答案 A generally distorted values 觀點(diǎn)細(xì)節(jié)題 題干定位在第五段第三句,答案定位在隨后的第四、第五句。The current collective doctrine 認(rèn)為重要的是 efficiency, flexibility, shareholder value...., 而認(rèn)為justice, fairness....不重要,故扭曲了價(jià)值觀。
40.答案是C
moral awareness matters in editing a newspaper.段落推斷題 定位在最后一段前兩句。世界新聞雜志的目的不是提升讀者的理解能力。。而是為了發(fā)行量和影響力而毀了人們的生活。從ruined the lives 的表達(dá)能看出作者希望雜志所做的是提高其道德意識(shí),與C選項(xiàng)對(duì)應(yīng)。

Such background material inevitably reflects who we are.(44)_____________.This does not, however, make interpretation merely relative or even pointless.Precisely because readers from different historical periods, places and social experiences produce different but overlapping readings of the same words on the page---including for texts that engage with fundamental human concerns---debates about texts can play an important role in social discussion of belief and values.How we read a given text also depends to some extent on our particular interest in reading it.(45)_____________.Such dimensions of reading suggest---as others introduced later in the book will also do--that we bring an implicit(often unacknowledged)agenda to any act of reading.It does not then necessarily follow that one kind of reading is fuller, more advanced or more worthwhile than another.Ideally, different minds of reading inform each other, and act as useful reference points for and counterbalances to one another.Together, they make up the reading component of your overall literacy, or relationship to your surrounding textual environment.[A] Are we studying that text and trying to respond in a way that fulfills the requirement of a given course? Reading it simply for pleasure? Skimming it for information? Ways of reading on a train or in bed are likely to differ considerably from reading in a seminar room.[B] Factors such as the place and period in which we are reading, our gender ethnicity, age and social class will encourage us towards certain interpretations but at the same time obscure or even close off others.[C] If you are unfamiliar with words or idioms, you guess at their meaning, using clues presented in the context.On the assumption that they will become relevant later, you make a mental note of discourse entities as well as possible links between them.[D]In effect, you try to reconstruct the likely meanings or effects that any given sentence, image or reference might have had: These might be the ones the author intended.[E] You make further inferences, for instance, about how the text may be significant to you, or about its validity-inferences that form the basis of a personal response for which the author will inevitably be far less responsible.[F] In plays, novels and narrative poems, characters speak as constructs created by the author, not necessarily as mouthpieces for the author's own thoughts.[G]Rather, we ascribe meanings to texts on the basis of interaction between what we might call textual and contextual material: between kinds of organizations or patterning we perceive in a text's formal structures(so especially its language structures)and various kinds of background, 可銳教育官網(wǎng)http://004km.cn

45【A】
解析:45段中空,看上下句。最后一段首句主語(yǔ)是we, 所有選項(xiàng)中只有A和G的主語(yǔ)是we;但是G中首詞是轉(zhuǎn)折詞Rather,與首句邏輯矛盾,故排除G選擇A。另外,A中具體描述了許多不同的閱讀目的和方式,此為對(duì)45空前句How we read a given text 和our particular interest in reading it 的具體闡述。A中的信息是45空后句such dimensions of reading 的指代對(duì)象。

Within the span of a hundred years, in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, a tide of emigration-one of the great folk wanderings of history-swept from Europe to America.46)This movement, driven by powerful motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent.47)The United States is the product of two principal forces-the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits.Of necessity, colonial America was a projection of Europe.Across the Atlantic came successive groups of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Scots, Irishmen, Dutchmen, Swedes, and many others who attempted to transplant their habits and traditions to the new world.48)But the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of 可銳教育官網(wǎng)http://004km.cn
the varied national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes.These changes were gradual and at first scarcely visible.But the result was a new social pattern which, although it resembled European society in many ways, had a character that was distinctly American.49)The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crossed the Atlantic more than a hundred years after the fifteenth-and sixteenth-century explorations of North America.In the meantime, thriving Spanish colonies had been established in Mexico, the West Indies, and South America.These travelers to North America came in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft.During their six-to twelve-week voyage, they subsisted on meager rations.Many of the ships were lost in storms, many passengers died of disease, and infants rarely survived the journey.Sometimes tempests blew the vessels far off their course, and often calm brought interminable delay.To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brought almost inexpressible relief.Said one chronicler, “The air at twelve leagues' distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden.” The colonists' first glimpse of the new land was a vista of dense woods.50)The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a real treasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia.Here was abundant fuel and lumber.Here was the raw material of houses and furniture, ships and potash, dyes and naval stores.文章來(lái)源于An Outline of American History,《美國(guó)歷史綱要》,是一本歷史學(xué)方面的專著。

What is symbolically depicted in the caricatures carries sharp contrast implications.In the first drawing, a father is watching a football match on the sofa.Meanwhile, he is supervising his son to finish homework.It is obvious that his son wears frowned expression on his face.On the contrary, the second portrayal depicts a father is working earnestly besides his son, and his son is doing his own assignment without prodding.The drawer demonstrates that utmost significance should be attached to the phenomenon that setting proper examples has exerted great impact on the growth of the younger generation in China.Previously, it is widely acknowledged that parents are under obligation to help their kids form a set of appropriate values about the world and the life, which carries overwhelmingly precious connotation to the sound development on the younger generation.Simultaneously, there is no denying that the most rational method for adults to educate adolescents is to set them good examples rather than making perpetual requirements, which is less persuasive 可銳教育官網(wǎng)http://004km.cn
compared with the actions.Accordingly, it is vital for us to derive positive implication from the drawings.On the one hand, we can frequently use them to enlighten parents to be more advisable in educating their children.On the other hand, parents should attach more emphasis on setting excellent models for their juveniles.Only in this way, can we effectively ensure a promising prospect for adolescents.面,我們要指出手機(jī)的弊端,給我們生活帶來(lái)了很多負(fù)面影響。第三段評(píng)論段的寫作內(nèi)容為給出自己的評(píng)論和建議??梢灾赋瞿贻p人應(yīng)該重視面對(duì)面的交流!最后一句可以展望一下未來(lái),說(shuō)如果我們放下手機(jī)拿起筷子享受美食,和諧的關(guān)系就會(huì)出現(xiàn)了!

【解析】動(dòng)詞辨析。結(jié)合原文語(yǔ)境,由who 引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾前面的學(xué)生,而在定語(yǔ)從句中,又出現(xiàn)由what引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句。結(jié)合賓語(yǔ)從句的含義,“知道接下來(lái)會(huì)發(fā)生什么”更符合語(yǔ)境。9.【答案】B

【解析】關(guān)聯(lián)對(duì)應(yīng),對(duì)應(yīng)18題的outcome.【答案】C practical ability
【解析】這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題,根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞可定位至第二段最后一句話,意思是”什么時(shí)候這種觀點(diǎn)變得可接受了呢?學(xué)生應(yīng)該能夠說(shuō)出美國(guó)第十三任總統(tǒng)的名字,但是卻完全對(duì)壞了的自行車鏈?zhǔn)譄o(wú)策”。從作者使用問(wèn)句的形式就可判斷出作者并不接受這種觀點(diǎn),即學(xué)生只學(xué)會(huì)書本上的知識(shí)而不具備實(shí)際能力。再結(jié)合上一句話即本段第二句話,Mr Koziatek是New Hampshire高中的一名老師,在這所學(xué)校,學(xué)習(xí)不只是書本上的知識(shí),或者是為了考試,也不是為了機(jī)械化的記憶,而是為了實(shí)際的技能。能看出,作者認(rèn)為學(xué)生們?nèi)鄙俚氖菍?shí)際技能,所以答案是C practical ability.22.【答案】 B are not academically successful
【解析】這是一道具體細(xì)節(jié)題,根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞職業(yè)教育對(duì)孩子存在的偏見可定位至第四段最后一句,意思是“在很多職業(yè)化教育的學(xué)校中,有這樣一種老套的思想,那就是,職業(yè)教育是針對(duì)那些在學(xué)術(shù)上不能成功的那些孩子的?!备鶕?jù)這句話可確定答案就是B are not academically successful。其他選項(xiàng)均不符合文意。
23.【答案】C used to have more job opportunities
【解析】這是一道細(xì)節(jié)推斷題,根據(jù)題干第五段和high school graduates 回到原文定位致第五段第三句,說(shuō)到美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)曾經(jīng)提供給高中畢業(yè)生的那種the job security已經(jīng)在很大程度上evaporated也就是消失了,那說(shuō)明過(guò)去的時(shí)候高中畢業(yè)生是有職業(yè)安全感的,故選C,其他選項(xiàng)都不在定位處,可以排除。24.【答案】D indicate the overvaluing of higher education 【解析】這是一道事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題,根據(jù)題干內(nèi)容“the headlong push”找到出處是第六段開頭But后,發(fā)現(xiàn)后面還有一個(gè)and...和其并列,所以主要關(guān)注對(duì)這兩部分的評(píng)價(jià),后面有明顯的標(biāo)點(diǎn):冒號(hào)出現(xiàn),冒號(hào)后說(shuō)that is not the only thing the American economy needs.可以看出這句話對(duì)前面的否定,選項(xiàng)中只有D選項(xiàng)動(dòng)詞overvalue是負(fù)面詞,而且提到主題詞education。故選D。這道題最適合用感情色彩來(lái)排除與D相反的其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)。25.【答案】A supportive 【解析】這是一道態(tài)度題,放在最末的態(tài)度題更傾向于到最后一段找答案。通過(guò)定位詞Koziatek’s school 看到最后一段也確實(shí)提到了,說(shuō)它是一個(gè)wake-up call。也就是在喚醒人們教育不應(yīng)該是統(tǒng)一的形式,這樣會(huì)overlooking a nation’s diversity of gifts,也就是忽視人才的差異性。所以可以看出作者是支持的態(tài)度。
【答案】 C falling
【解析】這是一道詞義句意題,要想知道plummeting 的意思,首先要回到原文找線索,即plummeting所在的句子以及上下句,由原文可知,plummeting所在句子是在說(shuō)現(xiàn)在例如風(fēng)能和太陽(yáng)能這樣的可再生資源的價(jià)格的問(wèn)題,plummeting是修飾可再生資源的價(jià)格的,接著二段最后一句就在用具體數(shù)字來(lái)證明可再生資源的成本在下降,如太陽(yáng)能成本下降了百分之八十,風(fēng)能也降到三分之一,由此可知,可再生資源的成本在下降,plummeting的含義是下降的意思。所以選擇C falling。
27.【答案】A is progressing notably
【解析】這是一道具體細(xì)節(jié)題,根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位至第三段第三句及第四句,意思是“在中國(guó)和歐洲等國(guó)家已經(jīng)領(lǐng)先時(shí),美國(guó)也在見證著巨大的改變。根據(jù)美國(guó)能源信息局報(bào)道,三月份,美國(guó)首次使用風(fēng)能和太陽(yáng)能產(chǎn)生了超過(guò)百分之十以上的能源?!边@足以說(shuō)明在美國(guó),可再生能源的使用正在取得顯著地進(jìn)步。所以答案是A。
28.【答案】 A wind is a widely used energy source
【解析】這是一道細(xì)節(jié)推斷題,根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位至第四段第三句,在愛荷華州,風(fēng)力渦輪機(jī)點(diǎn)綴著這個(gè)州并提供了此州百分之三十六的電能,并且還吸引了像微軟這樣的科技巨頭公司。因此可判斷,在愛荷華州,風(fēng)能是一種廣泛使用的能源。所以答案是A。
29.【答案】 C its continuous supply is becoming a reality
【解析】這是一道是非細(xì)節(jié)題,根據(jù)題干給出的段落位置,5-6兩段和主題詞clean energy,回到原文的第5-6段,這兩段都不長(zhǎng),第五段出現(xiàn)了But后講到電池容量的提升a boost in the storage,與A選項(xiàng)不符,并不是因果關(guān)系,故排除;B選項(xiàng)說(shuō)道廣泛用在制造業(yè)也不符合原文第六段第一句;而D選項(xiàng)和原文第六段最后一句是語(yǔ)義相反的,故也排除;正確選項(xiàng)C是和這句話語(yǔ)義一致的,也是和全文主題一致的,故為正確答案。
30.【答案】C is not really encouraged by the US government
【解析】這是一道細(xì)節(jié)推斷題,題干問(wèn)“根據(jù)最后一段可以推斷出來(lái)可再生能源怎么了”,回到原文最后一段第一句就表明盡管還有很長(zhǎng)一段路要走,可再生能源發(fā)展的趨勢(shì)在增強(qiáng)。后面也提到改變的節(jié)奏在加快,對(duì)slowing氣候變化有meaningful effect,所以可以看出B選項(xiàng)accelerate...是不對(duì)的,D選項(xiàng)中提到的價(jià)格不具有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力不在本段當(dāng)中,也應(yīng)排除。剩下的兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)都提到了美國(guó),就應(yīng)該重點(diǎn)看最后一句,最后一句提到華盛頓政府做或不做什么都may mean less and less...所以可以看出美國(guó)不應(yīng)該是和其他國(guó)家更近,排除A,所以選C,美國(guó)不是真正支持可再生能源的。
31.【答案】 [B]user information 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干信息定位到第一段第二句。該句提到兩年前Facebook花了更多的錢獲得了WhatsApp的信息服務(wù)。接著提到WhatsApp提供給Facebook的是關(guān)于其用戶的朋友圈以及社會(huì)生活等具體精煉的信息。由此可知,B項(xiàng)為正確答案。
32.【答案】[C]pose a risk to Facebook users 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞linking the phone number定位第二段第一句。該句提到Facebook向歐洲委員會(huì)承諾不會(huì)把用戶的電話號(hào)與Facebook的身份認(rèn)證連系到一起,但是協(xié)議通過(guò)之后Facebook立馬失信。接下來(lái)提到“甚至都不清楚信息里面都有什么,也不知誰(shuí)發(fā)的消息,發(fā)送的目的又是什么”。因此,可能會(huì)給用戶造成風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。因此C項(xiàng)符合文意。
33.【答案】[D]cannot keep pace with the changing market
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞competition law 定位到第三段第一句。該句指出“競(jìng)爭(zhēng)法似乎成為解決這些不平等權(quán)力的唯一辦法,但是此法案太過(guò)笨拙”。下一句提到“一方面,相比于數(shù)據(jù)經(jīng)濟(jì)變化的速度,此法案發(fā)展是非常緩慢的”。由此可知,該法案跟不上當(dāng)前市場(chǎng)變化的步伐。因此D項(xiàng)為正確答案。34.【答案】[D]the services are paid for by advertisers.【解析】根據(jù)題目中的because 可確定為因果細(xì)節(jié)題。題干中的信息出現(xiàn)在第三段后半部分,是題目中的原詞 competition law as presently interpreted,而原因在其后面的句子。下文寫到,the users of their services are not,讀到這里的not,一定要找而是誰(shuí)。繼續(xù)讀下一句,That would be the people who buy advertising from them…,與選項(xiàng)對(duì)應(yīng),可得出[D]the services are paid for by advertisers。35.【答案】[D]the relationship between digital giants and their users.【解析】根據(jù)題目中is used to illustrate可判斷為例證題,要找到the ants analogy論據(jù)所證明的論點(diǎn);論點(diǎn)在論據(jù)之前,因此先找到論據(jù)the ants analogy,再找到論據(jù)前的論點(diǎn)句。所以本題定位到最后一段的第一句,The product …is data,and we…convert our lives to data…。此句中,data即digital giants,we 即 users。因此答案為[D]the relationship between digital giants and their users.36.【答案】[D]keep to your focus time
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干的mastering the art of deep work定位到第二段首句。該句指出“有很多種掌握深度工作的方法-不論是專注于指定工作時(shí)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的后退,或者養(yǎng)成慣例,還是當(dāng)你一天有閑暇之余采用紀(jì)實(shí)的方式捕捉深度工作的瞬間”。接著提到“不論是那種方式,關(guān)鍵在于確定你的專注力時(shí)間長(zhǎng)度并保持專注”。由此可知,D項(xiàng)為正確答案。
37.【答案】[B]detailed plans may not be as fruitful as expected
【解析】例證題。根據(jù)題干時(shí)間信息1980s以及Harford定位到第四段與第五段。第四段首句指出另一種短時(shí)間做更多事情的方法是反思怎么才能優(yōu)先處理好你的一天-特別是制作我們待辦事項(xiàng)的方法。接著作者舉例大學(xué)生們分成小組每天做各種詳細(xì)復(fù)雜的任務(wù)。第五段首句用while畫風(fēng)一轉(zhuǎn),表示這種復(fù)雜的任務(wù)讓學(xué)生們感到消極,并表示工作中難免會(huì)分散注意力,這將影響日常待辦事項(xiàng)的效率。可知,作者用反面例子來(lái)論證觀點(diǎn),即復(fù)雜的計(jì)劃可能沒有像期望的那樣有效果。故選B項(xiàng)。
38.【答案】[D]an essential factor in accomplishing any work.【解析】根據(jù)題目Newport得出本題目為細(xì)節(jié)題中的文中人物觀點(diǎn)題。根據(jù)題干中的idleness可定位到倒數(shù)第三段,idleness is not,讀到這里依然需要看下文,下面提到it is as…as…,is necessary to getting any work done。再對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng),可直接選出[D]an essential factor in accomplishing any work。39.【答案】[A]can bring about greater efficiency.【解析】根據(jù)題目中的Pillay believes 可得出本題目為細(xì)節(jié)題中的文中人物觀點(diǎn)題型。根據(jù)題目中的信息,可以定位到倒數(shù)第二段最后一句,明確指出they tend to be more efficient。然后對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng)得出[A]can bring about greater efficiency。40.【答案】[A]approaches to getting more done in less time.【解析】根據(jù)題目的mainly about可知為文章主旨題,首先可以通過(guò)題目的復(fù)現(xiàn)內(nèi)容找與文章主旨有關(guān)的詞匯,題目中反復(fù)出現(xiàn)了focus內(nèi)容,可判斷與人們的注意力有。其次,文章主旨一般在開篇第一段或第二段會(huì)出現(xiàn),第一段引用Cal Newport的觀點(diǎn)指出focus without distraction話題,第二段就提到了主題approaches to mastering thd art of deep work,此刻主題已明確,并且第四段有明顯的證明another approach。所以本題選[A]approaches to getting more done in less time。
41.【答案】B
【解析】該小標(biāo)題需要涵蓋三段內(nèi)容。第一段開始說(shuō)到你想跟陌生人說(shuō)話,但是“it just won’t come out”,提到說(shuō)話說(shuō)不出來(lái),隨后直接出現(xiàn)我的建議“My advice:just get it out“,即去說(shuō)。所以選B:Just say it去說(shuō) 42.【答案】F
【解析】該小標(biāo)題下第一段第一句話就說(shuō)了你時(shí)間有限“you have limited time”,然后說(shuō)到如果陷到寒暄當(dāng)中“hi,hello,how are you,what is going on”會(huì)讓對(duì)話沒法令人印象深刻。下一段“So”表明結(jié)論,去問(wèn)更多個(gè)人問(wèn)題“personal questions”,所以選F:Skip the small talk跳過(guò)寒暄 43.【答案】D
【解析】第一句話就說(shuō)到了第一次交談要找到共同點(diǎn)“have in common”,從這個(gè)共同點(diǎn)“that point”來(lái)開展對(duì)話“build the conversation”,所以選D:find the “me too”s找到共同點(diǎn) 44.【答案】G
【解析】第一段先舉例,說(shuō)你跟人講心事時(shí),別人分心干別的。然后下一段“So”表明結(jié)論,人家跟跟你溝通,你要全心投入“wholeheartedly”。所以選G:Pay a unique complement專注 45.【答案】E
【解析】第一句話就提到了忘記只見過(guò)一面的人的名字“name”?!癝o”后面又提到回憶地點(diǎn)“places”和好惡的事情“things”等細(xì)節(jié),所以選E:Name,places,things
【真題譯文】:
一個(gè)五年級(jí)的學(xué)生收到一份家庭作業(yè):即從一系列職業(yè)中選擇自己未來(lái)的職業(yè)道路。他勾劃了“宇航員”,但很快由將“科學(xué)家”添加到列表中,并也將其選中。這個(gè)男孩相信,如果他讀得足夠多,他就可以探索盡可能多的他喜歡的職業(yè)道路。所以他讀書廣泛——從百科全書到科幻小說(shuō)。他讀得如此投入,以至于他的父母不得不制定一個(gè):在餐桌上的“不讀書政策”。
那個(gè)男孩就是比爾蓋茨,他沒有停止閱讀,甚至在他成為這個(gè)星球上最成功的人士之一后,仍舊沒有停下來(lái)。現(xiàn)在,他的閱讀材料已經(jīng)不再是科幻小說(shuō)和工具書了:最近據(jù)他所說(shuō),他一年內(nèi)至少讀了50本非科幻小說(shuō)。比爾蓋茨選擇非科幻小說(shuō)類書籍,是因?yàn)檫@類書籍解釋了世界是如何運(yùn)作的?!懊勘緯奸_辟了新的知識(shí)探索渠道?!鄙w茨說(shuō)。

The pie chart above evidently illustrates various target elements in terms of consumers’ choosing restaurants in a certain city in 2017.To be specific.distinguishing feature took a lion’s share, accounting for approximately 36.3%.While service and surroundings made up around 26.8% and 24.2% respectively.However, the least proportions were price and other factors, occupying roughly 8% and 4.7%.What triggers this phenomenon? Maybe at least two reasons can be identified to contribute to this matter.But the most important is that along with the development of economy, people’s living standards have been improved remarkably, as a consequence of which, an increasing amount of individuals focus on superior service and favorable surroundings when they choose restaurants rather than price.Simultaneously, there is another essential factor that after resolving the issue of food and clothing, quite a few consumers’ food conception has transfromed dramatically, to the extent that they increasingly pursue spiritual consumption, which should be also taken into account.Based on what has been discussed above: a conclusion can be drawn safely that more up-scale food services will be prevailing in modern food market.And it is predictable that those restuarants with favorable service: distinctive features and excelent circumstances will be beloved by more customers in some years ahead.However, it is advisable for the public to consume rationally, avoiding extravagance and waste.

答案解析
1.[答案] D
[翻譯] 由于工作過(guò)度,他病了。
[分析] as a/the result of 是一個(gè)固定短語(yǔ),意思是“由于,因?yàn)椤?。例如:He was late s the result of the snow.他因下雪遲到了。
2.[答案] B
[翻譯] 當(dāng)云朵消散以后,爬山者可以看到更加高的山峰。
[分析] visible的意思是“看得見,可見的”;obvious的意思是“顯然的,明顯的”;present的意思是“現(xiàn)在的,出席的”;apparent的意思是“明顯的,顯而易見的”。
3.[答案] C
[翻譯] 飛機(jī)準(zhǔn)備起飛時(shí)候,我們都把安全帶系好了。
[分析] fasten的意思是“系住,扎牢,使某物結(jié)合在一起”;tie指用繩子打扣“系”起來(lái),沒有“使牢固”的含義;lock的意思是“上鎖”,在這里不符合題意。Close的意思是“關(guān)閉,合上”。
4.[答案] C
[翻譯] 因我方正與該公司磋商一些重要的交易,所以想確切了解它的資信情況。
[分析] transacting的意思是“交易”;transmit的意思是“傳播,傳送”;transfer的意思是“轉(zhuǎn)讓”;transport的意思是“運(yùn)輸”。
5.[答案] B
[翻譯] 正如你的老師那樣,你應(yīng)該把時(shí)間花在鉆研一些值得研究的事情上。
[分析] worth和 worthy 都可能當(dāng)“值得的”講,worth的后面接名詞或動(dòng)名詞,worthy的后面接動(dòng)詞不定式或者與of 搭配使用,空白處后面的researching是一個(gè)動(dòng)名詞,根據(jù)這一點(diǎn)我們可以看出B應(yīng)該是正確的答案。Worth一般作表語(yǔ),在本句中作不定代詞的后置定語(yǔ)。Precious的意思是“珍貴的”;valuable的意思是“有價(jià)值的”,這兩項(xiàng)都與題意不符。
