    A

    necessary

    B

    tough

    C

    strict

    D

    unfair


    正确答案: C

    词义推测题。根据文章第五段uneven和后面“it puts a disadvantage on students who can’t afford to pay to store their phones”可以得知,该项禁令的实施会给那些支付不起手机保存费用的学生造成损害。由此可以推断discriminatory意思是“不公平的”,与unfair同义,因此选D。

    a firm decision

    B

    the process of breaking up into parts

    C

    an act of resolving

    D

    the power of a scientific instrument to give a clear picture of things


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    语义题。“resolution”所在非限制性定语从句修饰的是PET and functional M.R.I.scans两种成像技术,该定语从句前指出“他们还发现血流中微妙变化的出现显然早于PET和功能性M R L扫描的探测”,由此可知该定语从句指“这两种成像技术缺乏足够的分辨率且无法迅速成像来跟踪(血流中)如此快的变化”。故选项D“科学仪器显示出清晰图案的功能”。此外, which引导的定语从句中由and连接的两个部分句意一致,故选D。

    adventurous.

    B

    unusual.

    lofty.

    D

    interesting.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    语义理解题。文章首段提到,在Virginius看来,妻子除了缺少一点令人心动的脆弱之外可以说是堪称完美。之后又表示这样的完美减少了很多乐趣,尤其是爱情的乐趣。文章尾段与首段相互呼应,提到即便是最不挑剔的丈夫也希望妻子具有一些piquant的品质,而不仅仅是善良。由此可以推断,piquant应该是一种让人觉得有趣的品质,而Victoria所缺少的正式这种品质,故答案为D项。

    A

    unique

    B

    improbable

    C

    excellent

    D

    famous


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    词义辨析。“splendid”一词出现在文章最后一段最后一句话,前文指出对真菌进行分类很困难,可知该句指“在体现分类学者进行物种分类所面临的困难方面,地衣是一个绝好的例子”,因此“splendid”与选项C中的excellent(极好的)意思相符。

    compared with

    B

    C

    connected with

    D

    regarded as


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    划线部分前面提到“青少年想花一些时间和父母一起做一些事情”,然后用but转折说明“看电视”与“一起共度时光”的关系,由此可推出,看电视不能看作是一起共度时光。因此regarded as“看作是”符合题意,因此选D项。compared with与……比较。used as被用作是。connected with与……联系。

  • 第13题:

    The word “passing”(Line 7, Paragraph 1) most probably means_____.

    [A] instant [B] trivial [C] simple [D] negligible


    正确答案:D

    C

    the power that drove Mozart

    D

    Mozart’s life and death


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    指代题。it出现在第三段第一句的第二个分句“they reveal nothing-nothing that explains it”。前一个分句提到“you have no clue at all to the power that drove him and the music it squeezed out of him…”(你无法明白驱动他的动力是什么,也无法理解从他体内呼之而出…的乐曲),由此可知it指的是the power that drove him,对应选项C。

    D

    正确答案: B

    C

    great and important ... common

    D

    hopeful and helpful ... careless


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    词汇题。解答词汇题最常用的方法之一就是利用对比关系,“What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein,and another person a fool?”genius的含义和fool相反,自然可以推测出brilliant的含义;“Are people born intelligent or stupid?” intelligent的意思和stupid含义相反。dull出现在“... on the other hand ... dull and unintelligent”中,dull表示不聪明。答案为A项。
