  • 第2题：

    Which of the following shows the proper rhythmical pattern of the sentence?



    答案：A
    解析：
    考查句子重读。一般来说，句子中的实词需要重读，比如名词、主要动词(不包括be动词)、形容词、副词、数词等。虚词多数情况下不重读，比如代词、介词、冠词、连词等。另外，句子中要重读的词若为双音节或多音节词，重音一般就落在该词的重读音节上，像本句中的expensive就是这种情况。

    C

    Begin the sentence with Nevertheless.

    D

    Begin the sentence with For instance.

    E

    Change to behave to behaving.


    正确答案： A

    因为这段话主要谈论行为的大致趋势，讨论的主语和宾语应该采用第三人称，因此代词“you”不合适，应改为“their children”。

  • 第5题：

    单选题
    In context, which word or phrase is best inserted at the beginning of sentence 4 to connect it with the rest of the paragraph?
    A

    B

    Although,

    C

    And,

    D

    To protect them,

    E

    Additionally,


    正确答案： C
    解析：
    一个句子不能用“and”开始，所以C项可排除。因为这个句子与之前表述的思想既不形成对比也不是前面句子的进一步阐释，所以B和E项错误。因为之前的句子讨论的是龙虾的保护，而不是“breeding”，所以A项错误。只有D项合适。

  • 第6题：

    问答题
    What does “In rude health” in the first sentence of paragraph 3 probably mean?

    正确答案： Strong and healthy.
    解析：
    语义理解题。由题干关键词可定位到文章第三段第一句，即该段的主题句。随后通过列举SCI、斯图尔特企业的例子说明他们都面临着困难。由此可见，整个殡葬业的形势不容乐观。因此该段首句要表达的也正是这一层含义。由此可以推断，in rude health应该表示“情况好”之意。

    正确答案： E
    解析：
    插入句是在对一项鼓励措施没有效果的讨论之后，在这段话的结束语之前，因此插入此处的句子应能对这个鼓励项目做个总结，B符合。因为这个句子主要讨论了这个鼓励项目不起作用的原因，A和D不合逻辑。C不合适，因为这段话没有讨论奖励和惩罚的价值。E没有传达出任何与讨论相关的信息。
