参考答案和解析
正确答案: 1.caught 前文提到杀人犯和小偷被关进监狱,紧接着说他们被逮到的方式。
2.listened 本句前文中提到电话,应该和“听“搭配。电话与听是被动关系,所以用Have something done结构
3.may/might 句意:听到的电话或读到的邮件可能正是我们对抗他们所需要的,这里表猜测,用may/might
4.scientific 与监听有关,应该是科学方面的发现,所以用scientific,科学的。
5.ago 本句中用“took place”,所以这里应该填表示过去的时间副词,decades ago,几十年前。)
6.that 这个宾语从句不缺成分,所以用that引导,并与前后两个以that开头的宾语从句构成排比句。
7.criminals 由于引导词是who,所以应该填表人的名词
8.sold 与kept并列,意为记录有时被收藏,有时被卖掉,用被动形式。
9.personal 前面有being,所以应该转化为形容词。
10.for 本句意思是“有人说这就是享受犯罪所带来的自由需要付出的代价,无罪的人永远无须害怕。”price for something,固定搭配,为某事付出的代价。

  • 第1题:

    Most of us,when we reached our teens,started looking forward to the day when we would occupy places of our own,far from the confines of our families. We saw this moving away as a chance to strike out on our own,to grow,to spread out wings and experience freedom. At the same time,we regarded this independence as temporary-the thing to do until we found the perfect mate and married. Over the years,many millions of people have made this passage from one family to another,with just a brief,often nervous interval of independence in between. But recently,more and more people have begun to challenge the concept that living together is better than living alone. Being single is now accepted as an alternative lifestyle-one that is natural,rewarding,and complete. In fact,being single has become almost fashionable.


    正确答案:
    我们大多数人到了十几岁的时候,就开始向往有一天能有自己的独立空间,从而远离家庭的束缚。我们把离开家看做是独立生活、长大成人、展翅飞翔和体验自由的机会。但与此同时,我们认为这种独立只不过是在我们找到满意的伴侣并结婚之前的暂时的事情。这些年中,几百万人们都是这样从一个家庭到另一个家庭过来的,中间经历了一个短暂、并且常常是不知所措的独立阶段。但是最近,这种与人住在一起比独居更好的观念正开始受到越来越多的人们的挑战。独身现在被人们看做是生活方式的另一种选择-这种生活方式是合乎自然的,有意义的,而且是没有什么缺陷的。实际上,独身已经变得近乎流行起来了。

  • 第6题:

    _____________ to improving services, we will provide customers with all the information.

    A.Committed
    B.Committing
    C.Having committed
    D.Being committed

    答案:A
    解析:
    考查非谓语动词。句意为“承诺要提高服务,我们会给顾客提供所有的信息”。be committed to doing sth.“承诺做某事”。这里用过去分词(短语)做状语,相当于状语从句“Because we are committed to improving services”。

  • 第7题:

    As adults,it seems that we are constantly pursuing happiness,often with mixed results.Yet children appear to have it down to an art-and for the most part they don't need self-help books or therapy.instead,they look after their wellbeing instinctively,and usually more effectively than we do as grownups.Perhaps it's time to learn a few lessons from them.41_What does a child do when he's sad?He cries.When he's angry?He shouts.Scared?Probably a bit of both.As we grow up,we learn to control our emotions so they are manageable and don't dictate our behaviours,which is in many ways a good thing.But too often we take this process too far and end up suppressing emotions,especially negative ones.that's about as effective as brushing dirt under a carpet and can even make us ill.What we need to do is find a way to acknowledge and express what we feel appropriately,and then-again,like children-move on.42_A couple of Christmases ago,my youngest stepdaughter,who was nine years old at the time,got a Superman T-shirt for Christmas.It cost less than a fiver but she was overjoyed,and couldn't stop talking about it.Too often we believe that a new job,bigger house or better car will be the magic silver bullet that will allow us to finally be content,but the reality is these things have very little lasting impact on our happiness levels.Instead,being grateful for small things every day is a much better way to improve wellbeing.43_Have you ever noticed how much children laugh?If we adults could indulge in a bit of silliness and giggling,we would reduce the stress hormones in our bodies,increase good hormones like endorphins,improve blood flow to our hearts and even have a greater chance of fighting off enfection.All of which,of course,have a positive effect on happiness levels.44_The problem with being a grown up is that there's an awful lot of serious stuff to deal with---work,mortgage payments,figuring out what to cook for dinner.But as adults we also have the luxury of being able to control our own diaries and it's important that we schedule in time to enjoy the things we love.Those things might be social,sporting,creative or completely random(dancing aroud the living room,anyone?)--it doesn't matter,so long as they're enjoyable,and not likely to have negative side effects,such as drinking too much alcohol or going on a wild spending spree if you're on a tight budget.45_Having said all of the above,it's important to add that we shouldn't try too hard to be happy.Scientists tell us this can backfire and actually have a negative impact on our wellbeing.As the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu is reported to have said:"Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness."And in that,once more,we need to look to the example of our children,to whom happiness is not a goal but a natural by product of the way they live.44选?

    A.Be silly
    B.Have fun
    C.Express your emotions
    D.Don't overthink it
    E.Be easily pleased
    F.Notice things
    G.Ask for help

    答案:B
    解析:
    第五段第二句提到But as adults we also have the luxury of being able to control our own diaries and it's important that we schedule in time to enjoy the things we love.即成年人有权利自己安排时间,应该给自己找时间来享受生活的乐趣,接下来又说,不管人们所选择的是什么样的事情,只要是无害的,能让人享受的,都会给人们带来幸福,因此本段的中心意思是我们要享受生

    问答题
    One of the questions coming into focus as we face growing scarcity of resources in the world is how to divide limited resources among countries. In the international development (1) com____, the coronal wisdom has been that the billion people living in poor countries could never expect to (2) r____ the standard of living that most of the people in North America enjoy, simply because the world does not contain enough iron ore, protein, petroleum, and so on. At the same time, we in the United States have continued to pursue super-affluence as though there were no limits (3)____ how much we could consume. We (4) m____ only 6 percent of the world’s people; yet we consume one third of the world’s resources.  As long as the resources we consumed each year came primarily from (5) w____ our own boundaries, this was largely an internal matter. But as our resources come more and more from the outside world, we will no longer be able to think in (6)____ of “our” resources and “their” resources, but only of (7) c____ resources.  As Americans consume such a(n) (8)____(proportion) share of the world’s resources, we have to question whether or not we can continue our pursuit of super-affluence in a world of (9)____(scarce). We are now reaching the point at which we must carefully examine the presumed link between our level of well-being and the level of material goods consumed. If you have only one crust of bread and get another crust of bread, your well-being is greatly enhanced. But if you have a loaf of bread, then an additional crust of bread doesn’t make (10) d____. In the eyes of most of the world today, Americans have their loaf of bread and are asking for still more. The prospect of a scarcity of, and competition in, the world’s resources requires that we re-examine the way in which we relate to the rest of the world.

    正确答案: 1.community community社会整体,大众。这里指由各个国家共同构成却又彼此独立的有机整体。
    2.reach reach the standard of living达到生活标准。
    3.on limit后能接of,to,on/upon等介词,意思不相同。limit后接on,指对…施加限制,如:place a limit on the number of visitors限制参观的人数。limit后接of指…的限制,如:reach the limit of one’s patience达到了忍无可忍的地步。
    4.make make构成。此句译为:我们只占世界人口的6%,但我们消费的资源却占世界三分之一。
    5.within 该句译为:既然我们过去每年消耗的资源主要来自国内,这个问题基本上就只属于本国内部事务。与后一句的from the outside world形成对比,故填within。

    7.common common共有的,强调每个成员都有份,如:common interests共同利益。for the common good为公共利益。
    8.disproportionate 上文谈到美国人口仅占世界6%,但消耗的资源却占三分之一,这是与人口不成比例的,故填disproportionate。

    10.difference 此句可译为:如果你只有一块干面包,再得到一块,那你的生活就会大大改善,但如果你已有一整条面包,再多得一块,并没多少区别。
