    4._________
    A:resemblance
    B:shape
    C:body
    D:appearance

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据句意,西夫拉克伯爵使公园里的观众都感到高兴,能表示“使……高兴” 意思的只有A项和D项。而D选项overjoy意思为“使……过度兴奋,狂喜”,感情色彩过于强烈,这里应填delight“使”……喜悦”。
    一开始发明的自行车应该是个儿童玩具的扩大版,increased“增加的”,enor-mous“巨大的”,extended“延伸的”均不合题意,所以应选D项enlarged。
    此处有三个选项都可以与in搭配,in use“在使用中”,in operation“生效,运行中”,in service“服务中”,只有in use填入此空符合逻辑,故选择A。
    最早的自行车是用木头支架做成马的形状,弄懂意思后答案一目了然,resemblance“相似,相似物”,appearance“外貌,外观”,body“身体,主体”,均不符合句意。
    此处意思为“用脚使劲蹬地”,故选hard。 heavily“沉重地,猛烈地”,fast“快速地”,deeply“深刻地”均不符合句意。
    四个选项都跟“地”有点关系,surface“表面”,ground“地面,土地”,earth“泥土,陆地”,floor“地板,地面”,比较之后,只有ground比较合适,所以答案为B项。
    appeal to意思为“吸引”,attract本身就是及物动词“吸引”,后不需要加介词to, take to意为“开始喜欢,开始从事”,所以答案为B项。
    hold races在这里是“举行赛跑”的意思,其他选项不合题意。
    此处作者想表达的意思是:人们在最后冲刺的时候,受点小伤是很常见的。只有wound和injury有“受伤,伤害”的意思,wound做名词一般指“伤口,受伤的地方”,而in-jury指“小伤”,所以C项为正确答案。
    此处表示“最后猛一冲刺”,一定是速度很快,除了 B选项之外的三个选项都有“速度”之意,velocity“速率,速度”,为科学用语,pace“步调,步法”,speed“速度”,是常用词,故选D。
    此处的意思是“改变方向”,并不是要改变路线,只有A选项符合题意。
    想要改变行车方向需要抬起车头在空中掉转,turn round为惯用搭配,意为 “旋转,掉转”,roll和revolve本身就有“旋转”的意思,后面不需加round,所以C项为正确答案。
    这四个选项都有“转圈”的意思,cycle“循环,骑自行车”,circle“旋转,环绕移动”,wind“缠绕,上发条”,spin“旋转,纺纱”,此处主语为wheel,轮子在空中一定是“旋转”, 因此选D。
    四个选项都有“综合”的意思,mixture“mixture 混合,混合物”,link“连接,结合”, combination“结合,组合,联合”,union“联盟,联合”,全句意为“结合没有弹簧、没有方向舵,以及遭遇不平整路段等问题,木制双轮车骑起来十分不舒服”,只有C选项的意思放在此处最恰当。
    综合全文大意,我们得知法国人发明的木制双轮车便是现代自行车的始祖,A选项符合题意。

  • 第13题:

    C

    Kong Zi called Confucius(551-479 B.C.).and Soerates(469 B.C.)lived only a hundred years apart,and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting on look at how the world that each of there great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these in turn, shaped their societies.

    Neither philosopher lived in times of peace,though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal,while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的)than Confucius.Unlike Confucius,Soeraes was not asked by rulers how to goversn offectively.Thus Soerates was able to be more idealistic, foeusing on issues like freedom and knowledge for its own sake, on the other hand,advised those in gowernnent and many of his students went ment

    Conful suggested Rule as a principle for the corduet of “Lo not others what you would not want to you.”He assumed that all men were equal at some potential than others, are that it was knowledge that set men apart.Socraes focusesd on individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom.He believed that some had more potential a develop their reason than others did.Like Confucius, he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes.

    For Socrates,the family was of no importance,and the community of little concerm.For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.

    Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.

    A.Socrates and Confucius and much in common.

    B.Confuius had a influres on Socrates ideas.

    单选题
    A pharmaceutical company tested a new painkiller on 1,000 lab rats that were fed large doses of the painkiller for a two-month period. By the end of the experiment, 39 of the rats had died. The company concluded that the painkiller was sufficiently safe to test on humans.  Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for the pharmaceutical company’s conclusion?
    A

    The amount of painkiller fed to the rats was substantially greater, in relation to body mass, than the dosage any human would take under normal circumstances.

    B

    Because of the different body chemistry of humans and rats, some compounds can be dangerous for rats but safe for humans, and vice versa.

    C

    Tests of this same painkiller on dogs showed that 3 out of 50 dogs developed lesions on their livers during the course of the experiment.

    D

    The researchers found that during the experiment, the rats showed a significantly lower sensitivity to pain than rats do under normal circumstances.

    E

    In an experiment of this length with this number of rats, it is not unusual for up to 50 rats to die during the experiment for reasons unrelated to the experiment itself.
