參考答案

1.D

2.D由第二段內(nèi)容可知A、B、C三項(xiàng)都是Nigel接近Alicia的手段和方式，故排除；由“Get—tingthethousand—dollarprizewasmoreimportantthananythingelse．NigeldecidedtobefriendAlicia．”得知選D項(xiàng)。

3.C

4.B解析：第一個(gè)筆友。

5.A倒數(shù)第二段。作者用一系列的例子說(shuō)明小空間可以保持溫度不釋放掉。選項(xiàng)A是正確的。

6.C解析：第二段。小石子是幫助消化的，因?yàn)轼B沒(méi)有牙。選項(xiàng)C是正確的。

7.B解析：本題屬細(xì)節(jié)題。文章最后一句已明確點(diǎn)明。

8.A解析：參見(jiàn)最后一段的前三行：我們得知這個(gè)商人做廣告從來(lái)都是成功的，因此他很自信，相信這一次他也一定能成功。

9.D

10.A解析：推斷題。B、D是文中直接提到的，又根據(jù)第四段第二句的內(nèi)容判斷C的內(nèi)容不正確。

11.D解析：從第三段作者對(duì)“長(zhǎng)途乘車中廣告太多”所表達(dá)的情況看，作者不太喜歡沿途的廣告牌。

12.A解析：本題屬推理分析題。文章第一句已提示：世界許多的污染是大量人口進(jìn)入城市造成的。反過(guò)來(lái)說(shuō)，如果很少的人進(jìn)入城市，那么世界污染就會(huì)變得不嚴(yán)重了。

13.D文中第二句中指出原因即城市太大，交通太擁擠。

14.C39．答案為C。根據(jù)題干找到第二段第二句，It'ssimplybecauseyouhavenotyetdiscoveredthefunitcanbetowrite作出該項(xiàng)選擇。

15.C

16.B解析：本文是介紹TakeOurDaughterstoworkDay這樣一個(gè)特殊的日子的設(shè)立及其作用，所以B項(xiàng)為最佳標(biāo)題。

17.B解析：第一段中有相關(guān)交待。

18.D解析：參見(jiàn)第一段。

19.D本題是對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)信息進(jìn)行綜合思考推斷能力的考查。題中seems一詞暗示考生須根據(jù)表層意義推斷出隱含意義，或?qū)ξ恼绿峁┑那榫斑M(jìn)行推理和概括，而不可憑借自己的主觀看法去猜測(cè)。從最后一段第1句和末句了解到thebaby確為鉈中毒，而thepoison則來(lái)自一種insecticide(殺蟲劑)，恰好與D項(xiàng)的解釋一致。故推斷出D項(xiàng)是正確的。

20.D解析：參照短文最后一段。

21.C

22.D解析：服務(wù)生說(shuō)的是旅館的安排，可見(jiàn)史密斯太太沒(méi)理解服務(wù)生的話。

23.C解析：這篇文章主要講了Williams寫這本書的目的是讓人們找寶。選項(xiàng)C是正確的。其他三項(xiàng)都只是文章中整個(gè)事件的一部分，不是主題。

24.B參考第一段第二句。

25.D解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。在第二段中我們可以看到她為了省錢，把兒子送去了一家免費(fèi)的慈善醫(yī)院(freechantyhospital)。

26.B解析：第二段。文中提及人口的增長(zhǎng)，并說(shuō)在未來(lái)要生產(chǎn)如今產(chǎn)量4倍的食品?？梢?jiàn)人口的增長(zhǎng)是很嚴(yán)重的。選項(xiàng)B是正確的。其他選項(xiàng)文章未提及。

27.D第三段中寫道英國(guó)現(xiàn)在的氣候太冷不適合鱷魚居住。

28.D

29.A在第六段中，Cusick說(shuō)馬戲團(tuán)在雇用他時(shí)就已經(jīng)知道他是艾滋病病毒攜帶者，因此在他花費(fèi)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的準(zhǔn)備之后，又沒(méi)有讓他登臺(tái)演出就解雇他是不公平的。

30.B根據(jù)文中第一段第三句，可知LostSea是世界上最大的地下湖泊。

31.C

32.C解析：第1段第4行用到“temperature”，故此處也可此詞。

33.D解析：但不管怎么說(shuō)這是他的主意。

34.B解析：These肯定指的是前面所說(shuō)的橡膠做的橡膠樹。這段是用其他的例子說(shuō)明，其他的很多東西我們都用的是代用品，橡膠樹當(dāng)然也同樣可以。選項(xiàng)B是正確的。

35.C解析：not…or…“不是……或者……”。根撕前半句可知正確答案。

36.A解析：士兵槍殺了他。shoot意為“射中，射死”；shootat意為“朝……開(kāi)槍”。destroy意為“毀壞”；damage意為“損壞”；bury意為“埋葬”。

37.Dsocialcontacts意為“社交”。

38.C解析：available可利用的，可到達(dá)的。

39.A

40.A解析：根據(jù)句意，這兩位女性作者給讀者回信但沒(méi)有因?yàn)榇隧?xiàng)工作而接受到特殊的培訓(xùn)。故選A，含義是“為了……”。

41.B解析：敘述過(guò)去的事情用過(guò)去時(shí)。一個(gè)陌生人問(wèn)他是不是裁縫的兒子。

42.A解析：Beyond超出。作者認(rèn)為這條制度太過(guò)分了，他應(yīng)該抗?fàn)?。選項(xiàng)A是正確的。

43.C解析：本句意思是“讓你們來(lái)把我不想要的書都收走”。C選項(xiàng)collect的意思是“收集起來(lái)”，也有“收回”的意思，最合題意。而A選項(xiàng)gather的意思是“聚攏”。

44.A

45.B

46.B

47.D27．答案為D

本題為詞匯題，要求正確選擇詞義。A爆發(fā)，B發(fā)展，C贏，D結(jié)束。1945年第二次世界大戰(zhàn)結(jié)束。

48.B因?yàn)獒斸斪右缅N子，下文也提到售貨員拿給他錘子，所以他做出的動(dòng)作應(yīng)該是用錘子釘釘子的動(dòng)作，故應(yīng)選B項(xiàng)。

49.D本題為詞組搭配題。look常和like相連，意為“看上去像……一樣”。這里指照片上是一位婦女和一位大約十二歲的小姑娘，小姑娘看上去像是這位婦女的女兒。

50.D

51.B本題考查介詞短語(yǔ)辨析。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：我的爸爸反對(duì)我的建議，然而媽媽贊成。infavourof贊成；inhonourof向……表示敬意；inmemoryof紀(jì)念……；insearchof尋找，尋求。

52.B17．答案為B

wassetup意為“建立”，又如putup，establish均為“建立”之意。

53.B本題考查動(dòng)詞辨析。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：人們要保持健康的最佳方式之一是養(yǎng)成健康的飲食習(xí)慣。develop發(fā)展；grow成長(zhǎng)；increase加大，增加；raise提高。

54.B根據(jù)題意應(yīng)選擇"沒(méi)有耐心"，moveabout是動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)，about為副詞。句中要說(shuō)明人物是如何耐不住的，常用副詞。

55.C本題考查賓語(yǔ)從句。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：我們應(yīng)該尊重食物，想想沒(méi)有我們所擁有的東西的那些人，認(rèn)真對(duì)待食物：what引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，且what在賓語(yǔ)從句中作賓語(yǔ)。

56.B解析：本題為詞義辨析題。install意為“安裝，安置”；devise意為“設(shè)計(jì)”；format意為“安排……格式”；equip意為“裝配”，常和with連用。本句大意為：夏威夷大學(xué)的劉易斯.海門設(shè)計(jì)了一系列新的試驗(yàn)，在這一系列實(shí)驗(yàn)中有一些動(dòng)物學(xué)會(huì)了理解句子。

57.A

58.B

59.C解析：somewhere為副詞，意思是“在某處”。anywhere表示“任何地方”，nowhere表示“無(wú)處，什么地方都不”。只有C選項(xiàng)符合句意。

60.B解析：makesb．dosth．。make要求后接不帶to的動(dòng)詞不定式，但當(dāng)它用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)時(shí)，則是：bemadetodosth．江蘇省揚(yáng)州市成考專升本英語(yǔ)學(xué)校:________班級(jí):________姓名:________考號(hào):________
