參考答案

第二部分英語知識運用

參考譯文

藍色牛仔褲可能是美國人最具代表性的一件衣服。藍色牛仔

褲最初是由來自美國內(nèi)華達州的一位裁縫——雅各布?戴維斯

發(fā)明的，他和紡織商李維?施特勞斯合作，于1873年將這一發(fā)

明申請為專利，并為礦工提供了一種經(jīng)久耐穿的衣服。藍色牛仔

褲，也被稱作工作服，在19世紀(jì)末及20世紀(jì)初流行于美國各

行各業(yè)的工人階層，尤其受牛仔、農(nóng)夫、伐木工及鐵路工人的喜

愛。20世紀(jì)50年代，演員馬龍?白蘭度和詹姆斯?迪恩在電

影中都穿著藍色牛仔褲，這使得藍色牛仔褲一下子變得時髦起

來。后來，牛仔褲還成了叛逆年輕人形象的一部分。20世紀(jì)六

七十年代，李維斯成為關(guān)注民權(quán)運動和反戰(zhàn)運動的青年文化的

重要組成部分，其時尚宣言也迅速流行起來。到20世紀(jì)70年代

末，美國幾乎所有人都穿藍色牛仔褲，同時全世界的年輕人都在

追逐這一潮流。隨著服裝設(shè)計師設(shè)計的款式更加多樣，更加合身,

藍色牛仔褲很好地表現(xiàn)了美國人對隨意的強調(diào)以及對細節(jié)的重

視。藍色牛仔褲，盡管起源于工人階層，但通過突顯品牌和實

現(xiàn)美觀，諷刺性地代表了美國當(dāng)代的時尚意識和追求最新潮流的

急切愿望。1971年，李維斯公司榮獲美國時尚界最高獎項一一

柯蒂時裝評論獎。

26,A【精析】本題考查動詞詞義辨析。invent發(fā)

明；introduce引進;develop發(fā)展;deriver遞交。后文提到“他

斯發(fā)明的”,故選A。

通俗的解釋，含義上是等同的，故選c。30.A【精析】本題考查

的重要組成部分，故選D。

35.B【精析】本題考查名詞詞義辨析。character人

慮；eagerness急切；ambition雄心；promise許諾。前文提到“代

的；grand宏大的;brightest最明亮的；latest最新的。后文指

參考答案及精析

第二部分英語知識運用

參考譯文

我想要什么？這是個非常簡單的問題；雖然我們很多人都不

能確定。但這個問題并不一定難以回答，這只是時間問題。

你有沒有曾經(jīng)透過望遠鏡去看東西?你找到一個起始點開始

聚焦，然后調(diào)整設(shè)置。起先，這個目標(biāo)物要么太近，要么太遠,

最后焦距會剛剛好。關(guān)鍵是這個過程需要不斷調(diào)整以聚焦于某個

目標(biāo)物。如果你想看別的東西，這個過程又開始了。

確定目標(biāo)也是相同的方式。如果你一開始并不確切地知道你

想做什么，不用擔(dān)心。只是不要犯下從不承諾的錯誤。有時候答

案很簡單：就是挑一件事去做而已！

《擺脫你的習(xí)慣》一書的作者馬克?金士頓博士建議“回頭

看的目的是為了朝前看在一周中的每天要結(jié)束的時候，查看

下你的日歷，用-3至+3之間的數(shù)值去畫出每次預(yù)約和要做事情

的日期。此處，-3的.意思是“如果我再不去做這件事，就沒有

時間做了“；+3的意思是“我有一整天的時間去做這件事，我不

能再做一遍"。一旦你確定了你做事的主題思想，你就會更好

地集中注意力于你的夢想。

26.B【精析】本題考查形容詞詞義辨析。strange陌生

的;ridiculous荒謬的;funny可笑的。此處是說我想要什么這個

問題很簡單，所以只有simple“簡單的”符合題意，故選B。

27.D【精析】本題考查上下文語義的銜接。根據(jù)文意，此處

是說這個問題許多人不能確定，但其實這個問題不難回答。因此,

此處需要一個表示轉(zhuǎn)折之意的連詞，只有答案but“但是”表示

轉(zhuǎn)折，符合題意，故選D。.

28.A【精析】本題考查名詞詞義辨析。determina-tion決

心;focus焦點;preference偏愛。這里是說回答這個問題只是時

間問題，因此只有“time”符合題意，構(gòu)成詞組“amatterof

time"意為"時間問題”，故選A。

29.C【精析】本題考查動名詞詞義辨析。根據(jù)常識用望遠鏡

時應(yīng)該首先確定目標(biāo)物，此處文意為找到一個起始點開始聚焦，

startingpoint表示起始點，其他選項均不合題意，故選C。

30.C【精析】本題考查動詞詞義辨析。此處意為調(diào)整望遠

鏡的設(shè)置，switch轉(zhuǎn)變；open打開;fix固定。因此只有adjust

“調(diào)整”符合題意，故選C。

3LD【精析】本題考查形容詞詞義辨析。large大的;dark

黑暗的;foggy有霧的。此處是說這個目標(biāo)物一會兒太近一會兒

太遠，此空應(yīng)和后面的faraway相對，所以只有close“近的”

最恰當(dāng)，故選D。

32.B【精析】本題考查名詞語義辨析。sign標(biāo)志;choice

選擇;law法律。根據(jù)文意，此處是說這個過程最重要的是需要

不斷調(diào)整，四個選項中，只有thepointis…"表示最重要的

是…，關(guān)鍵是…”,故選B。

33.A【精析】本題考查動詞詞組搭配。bring--intofocus

表示“使特別注意…，聚焦于…”，故選A。

34.D【精析】本題考查上下文語義的銜接。第二段的第一、

二句話中均出現(xiàn)了You,說明作者的寫作對象是閱讀此文章的

人,故此題選D。

35.B【精析】本題考查名詞詞義辨析。practice練

習(xí)；progress進步;performance表演。此處是說，“如果你想看

其他的某個事物，這個選定目標(biāo)、調(diào)整設(shè)置的過程又開始了?！?/p>

故只有process“過程”符合題意，故選B。

36.C【精析】本題考查動詞詞義辨析。hesitate猶豫;mind

介意；apologize道歉。根據(jù)文意，只有Don'tworry.“不用擔(dān)

心?！狈仙舷挛奈囊?，故選C。

37.C【精析】本題考查動詞詞義辨析。上一段舉出用望遠鏡

看東西的例子，這一段結(jié)合實際談?wù)摤F(xiàn)實生活中設(shè)立目標(biāo)，所以

此處意為：如果你一開始不是確切地知道你想做的事情，不用擔(dān)

心。四個選項中，只有do“做”符合句意，故選C。

38.C【精析】本題考查動詞詞組搭配。committo…表示“承

諾做…”,故選C。

39.B【精析】本題考查動詞詞義辨析。write寫;test測

試;draw畫畫。這里是說就是挑一件事去做而已，所以四個選項

中,只有pick“挑選”最恰當(dāng)，故選B。

40.A【精析】本題考查動詞詞義辨析。announce通

知；imagine想象;warn警告。這里是說馬克?金士頓博士在書中

提出建議，故suggest“建議”最合適，故選A。

4LA【精析】本題考查副詞的用法。文中意為“回頭看的目

的是為了朝前看”，此處空格處的詞應(yīng)與前面的back“后面地”

相對應(yīng)，故forward“朝前”符合題意，故選A。

42.C【精析】本題考查動詞詞義辨析。read閱讀;correct

改正;grade評級。文章應(yīng)該是說“畫出每次預(yù)約和要做事情的

日期“，只有define有“畫出”的意思，故選c。

43.C【精析】本題考查非限制性定語從句。where引導(dǎo)定語

從句修飾介詞短語onascaleof-3to+3。其他的詞都不能起

到這個作用，故選C。

44.C【精析】本題考查動詞詞義辨析。wait等待;promise

承諾;manage設(shè)法。此處意為“我有一整天的時間去做這件事，

我不能再做一遍“，只有affordtodosth.“有能力做某事”,

這里意為“有時間做…”,符合句意。故選C。

45.A【精析】本題考查連詞的用法。此處意為“一旦你確定

了你做事的主題思想，你就會更好地集中注意力于你的夢想”。

所以選連詞once“一旦”，其他選項均不合句意，故選A。
