    [A] record player

    [B] radio

    [C] musical technique

    [D] music culture


    正确答案:A

    本题考查词意理解。“phonograph”一词出现在第一段第五句,该句指出,“‘phonograph’被发明以前,我们听不到任何音乐表演的声音,只能通过乐器研究过去的音乐文化”。由此可知,该词指的是一种能够记录声音并被用于音乐文化研究的物质。[A]为正确答案。[B]虽然也有声音,但无法用于音乐研究。此外,也可以通过词根词缀法猜测词意。phono-相当于sound,表示“声音”;-graph表示“书写、描绘或记录的器具,机械”。“记录声音的机器”就是“录音机”。

    [A] generating motivation

    [B] exerting influence

    [C] causing damage

    [D] creating pressure

    [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。

    B

    exerting the greatest effort

    C

    achieving the greatest success

    D

    正确答案: A
    解析:
    语义理解题。第二段最后一句介绍了CIA举办的竞赛,并提到其中最大赢家的明显优势在于其对电子领域的掌握。第三段第一句提到Straitford公司的例子,并用“making the biggest splash”描述该公司目前的经营状况。随后两段从不同的方面介绍了公司第五段最后一句提到“Straitford 公司以发表自己的独立意见为荣”,由此可见,Straitford公司是进行公开来源的间谍活动比较成功的一个例子。“make the biggest splash”最引人注目,引起最大的轰动,亦即取得最大的成功。

    B

    burn up

    C

    convert

    D

    let in


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    词义辨析题。“throw off”出现在文章第三段最后一句。该句指“当太阳从一个红色巨星变成一个白矮星时,它会猛烈地喷发出大量的气体,这被称之为新星爆发”。由此可知“throw off”指的是“喷发”,而eject有“喷出”的意思,故选A。burn up烧掉;发怒。convert使转变。let in放进;允许进入。

    A

    government agency

    B

    podcasting director

    C

    public radio station

    D

    record company


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    推断题。a major label出现在第四段首句。第三段提到KEXP无法播客诸如John in the Morning一类的节目,给出的原因是“record companies haven’t provided an easy, affordable way for podcasters to license songs”(唱片公司没有为做播客的人license songs提供一种简便且支付得起的方式)。该引用部分所在句意为“KEXP决定不能再无所事事地等着a major label来阻止它们播出”,由此可知a major label指的就是上文提到的record companies(唱片公司),因此选D。

    A

    a reform advocate

    B

    a senior psychologist

    C

    a reputed poet

    D

    a social historian


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    推断题。答案来自第二段。从文中Most societies derive consensus from a long history可知本段是在说人们在从历史中获得共同点,与历史有关。而后文中的it has been emphasized that an asocial, narcissistic personality has become characteristic of Americans表现的是美国一种缺乏社交、自恋过于独立的社会现状。由这两点整合来看,D选项最为贴切。

  • 第13题:

    [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]。

    [A] a dangerous moment

    [B] the last decision

    [C] the crucial point

    [D] a brave engagement


    正确答案:C
    本题考查词义理解。crisis一词出现在全文最后一句。该句指出它是一个点(point)。由其上文即倒数第二句可知,在这个点上主人公会完成一个行为或者做出一个决定,这个决定必然使他进入进一步发展轨迹(造成某些一般结果的点)。可见,crisis指的是戏剧中决定情节发展的关键性的转折点,而不是“时刻”、“决定”或“约定”。[C]正确。

    Arkansas

    A

    who work as coordinators

    B

    who function as judges

    C

    who supervise transactions

    D

    who determine the price


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    词义理解题。第四段提到:“in practice it often leaves railroads in the position of determining which companies will flourish and which will fail”,说明现实中铁路部门经常处在决定哪些公司繁荣哪些公司失败的地位,而下文对这种情况提出了疑问,文中的原话是:“Do we really want railroads to be the arbiters of who wins and who loses in the marketplace”难道我们真想让铁路成为市场上决定成败的arbiters吗?所以arbiters与上文的determine呼应,表示“做决定者,仲裁者”的含义。

    破折号后面说“indeed without a credit card you may be considered so untrustworthy that not only a deposit but your passport will be held as security too. ”意为如果没有信用卡出租公司会收取订金还会扣留护照,也就是说信用卡的作用是代替订金,故选D。

    B

    places for physical exercise

    C

    recreation centers

    D

    athletic training programs


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    词义题。从第一段“capitalize”(获利),“benefit financially”(在金钱上获利),“national chain spas”(全国连锁组织)等词来看,spas应为能赚钱的在全国有经营的连锁性的赢利的商业性体育锻炼的地方,类似体育馆、体育健身活动中心等,故首先排除A、D项;既然是体育活动场所,C项也自然排除。故B为答案。

    good consumption the market may sustain

    D

    confidence consumers have over the goods


    正确答案: B
    解析:
