  • 第1题:

    The word “tough”(Line 7, Paragraph 2) most probably means_____.

    [A] piercing to the truth

    [B] using vulgar language

    [C] mean and hostile

    [D] difficult to understand


    正确答案:A
     本题考查词义理解。tough一词出现在第二段第六句,该句指出,观众渴望这种tough谈话。其上文提到,电视工作组起初害怕观众会被菲尔博士“面对现实”的强硬(stern)建议惹怒。因此tough talk指的就是上文stern advice,即呼吁人们“面对现实”的建议。因此最接近的含义是[A]。

  • 第2题:

    The sentence" We have people. . . down the road" ( Line 4, Paragraph 2)probably means

    [ A] we have people calling us for parking space two years ahead of time.

    [ B] people called us for permission to use the places two years ago.

    [ C] we received calls from people down the road two years ago.

    [D] people called us for school vacancies two years in advance.


    正确答案:D
    42.D该题为释义题。根据后一句“We have grandparents calling for pregnant daughters.”可知,有些家长会提前向私立学校咨询孩子入学的事情。因此可以推知“We have people calling us for spots two years down the road.”意为“有人提前两年就打电话咨询学校是否会有名额。”,故选D。

  • 第3题:

    We may conclude from the passage that ______.

    A) it is probably as dangerous to live in Missouri as in California

    B) the New Madrid fault will eventually develop a mountain range in Missouri

    C) California will become an island in future

    D) a big earthquake will occur to California soon


    正确答案:A
    答案:A
    [试题分析]事实推断题。
    [详细解答]根据文章说述,Missouri和California分别位于两个大断层周围,这一地区地震频发,显然同样危险,因此选项A的推断有道理。B新马德里断层将最终在密苏里境内形成山脉,C加利福利亚将成为岛屿,及D加利福利亚马上将有大地震在文中都未提及,根据内容也无法确认,不可选。所以,答案为A。

  • 第5题:

    Judging from the context, the phrase "wreaking havoc" ( Line 2, Para.2) most probably means( )

    [A] generating motivation

    [B] exerting influence

    [C] causing damage

    [D] creating pressure


    正确答案:C
    通过上下文判断,短语“wreaking havoc”(第二段第二行)最可能意为
    [A]产生动机   
    [B]施加影响   
    [C]制造伤害   
    [D]创造压力
    答案解析:[C]语义理解题。本题可定位到第二段。通过上下文可以知道此种婚姻模式是“男性在外健谈,但回家后保持沉默”,接着第三段第二旬说道“一位社会学家在她的新书中指出,大多数女性认为离婚的罪魁祸首是缺少交流”。据此可判断,这种相处模式对于婚姻来说是有害的,故[C]正确。其他几项文中均未提及,故排除。

  • 第6题:

    [A]observation

    [B]standard

    [C]performance

    [D]understanding


    正确答案:D
    单词“perception”(第三段第二行)最可能意为 ______ 。
    [A]观察
    [B]标准
    [C]表现
    [D]理解
    答案解析:[D]
    语义理解题。第三段首旬给出了研究结论:我们在实际生活中也依自己所看到的迅速改变着我们对于中点(标准的事物)的perception。第二句中出现了judgment和see differently,从上下文语义关系可以看出,这与perception属于语义场同现,意思相近,因此可以判断perception为“看法,理解”之意,故[D]为答案。

    children may imitate what they have seen on television

    D

    the quality of children’s programs is not the parents’ main concern


    正确答案: C

  • 第13题:

    We can infer from the passage that ______.

    [A]Hollywood hardly improves southern California's economy

    [B]the shipping industry there is as dirty as other industries

    [C]people living near these ports suffer the most

    [D]the polluted air may cause both asthma and smaller lungs


    正确答案:D
    D与原文第二段最后两句话表达的意思一致。A与全文首句不一致,原文只是说航运比好莱坞在促进经济方面作用更大,并没有否认好莱坞。B曲解了第一段最后一句话。原文把港口比喻成引擎,意思是航运业污染严重,但并没有把航运业与其它产业进行污染程度的比较。C与第二段第二句不相符。原文指的是住在通往港口公路两旁的人受影响最大。从第四段港口解决措施来看,污染主要来自卡车,并非港口。

    不要为此忧虑,因为美的标准随时都在改变。通过段中提到的20世纪50年代和60年代流行的“稍稍上翘的鼻子”和现在的“宽鼻子”可以推断出[B]正确。“上翘的鼻子”是20世纪五六十年代的审美标准,排除[A]e末段第二句提到“整形手术”,但并未就其发展状况进行评论,排除[C].这里只是告诉人们不必为自己的面部缺陷而担心,并未鼓励人们对自己的长相充满信心,[D]为过度推断,排除。

  • 第19题:

    问答题
    What can we infer from the last sentence in Paragraph 2?

    正确答案: Dad refused the meal prepared according to a new recipe.
    解析:
    推理题。根据题干定位至原文的第二段。根据该段的第一句话:“Dad was a creature of habit. He didn’t always greet new experiments in cooking with glee.”可知,“父亲的习惯常年不变,不喜欢尝试新食物。”而后文提到“我刚开始学习烹饪,喜欢邀请父母品尝新手艺,”该段的最后一句话说到:Dad would look at his plate suspiciously and ask, “Am I the ‘guinea pig’ for this meal?”由此可见,当父亲看到盘子中的菜时,怀疑自己是女儿实验用的“小白鼠”,而不愿意吃其中的食物,因此父亲拒绝品尝新手艺。

  • 第20题:

    A

    programs

    B

    experts

    C

    devices

    D

    creatures


    正确答案: C

    词义推断题。第二段讲述了intellectual gizmo的作用,第二、三、四句分别举了“工厂的机械、银行的自助服务终端以及地铁的机器人驾驶员”的例子,说明gizmo指的是先进的机器设备,并且第五句继续提到“continual miniaturization of electronics and micro-mechanics”,进一步说明gizmo指的是电子和小型机械设备。故C项为正确答案。

  • 第21题:

    The sentence “We have people... down the road” (Line 3, Paragraph 2) probably means ______.
    A

    we have people calling us for parking space two years ahead of time

    B

    people called us for permission to use the places two years ago

    C

    we received calls from people down the road two years ago

    D

    people called us for school vacancies two years in advance


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    词句理解题。理解本句的关键是看Marilyn是在什么样的情况下说这句话的,即要看此句的前一句——申请者过多,而拒收率也更高。因此,直接引语肯定是补充说明或进一步阐述这种情况的。另外,本句中的two years down the road指的是从现在开始的两年后,含有“提前”之意。而本文的主旨是入学问题,故spots是指能入学的名额。故D项为正确答案吧。A项中的parking space意为“停车位”。B项中的use of the place意为“使用这个地方”,都曲解了引语中spots的意思。而B、C两项中的two years ago则曲解了这一句中的two years down the road一处。

    本题可根据文章前两段来判断。第一段讲使用袖珍计算器不利于学生锻炼思考能力,第二段讲电脑及网球拍领域的新科技使人减少了锻炼自己思考能力的机会。由此可以判断出cuts across在句中是“影响”的意思,因此答案为A。
