  • 第18题：

    单选题
    The word “it” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably means.
    A

    Mozart’s correspondence

    B

    the collection of Mozart’s music

    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。

    The word “resolution” underlined in Paragraph 5 probably means.
    A

    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。

    A

    adventurous.

    B

    unusual.

    C

    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。

    social activity

    D

    new people


    正确答案： B

    D

    shocked


    正确答案： D
    解析：
    语义题。第三段第一句指出“Seemingly prompted by an unknown substance secreted by fish, the aggressive creature swims into action.”，substance secreted by fish意为“鱼类分泌的一种物质”。prompt在此处指“刺激，唤起”，因此与stimulate表达意义相符。

    D

    ruin


    正确答案： A
    解析：
