  • 第17题:

    The word “phonograph” (Line 5-6, Paragraph 1) most probably means_____.

    [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”。

    答案解析:[D]
    语义理解题。第三段首旬给出了研究结论:我们在实际生活中也依自己所看到的迅速改变着我们对于中点(标准的事物)的perception。第二句中出现了judgment和see differently,从上下文语义关系可以看出,这与perception属于语义场同现,意思相近,因此可以判断perception为“看法,理解”之意,故[D]为答案。

    namely

    B

    superficially

    C

    imaginatively

    D

    actually

  • 第22题:

    单选题
    The word “arbiters” (Line 6, Paragraph 4) most probably refers to those ______.
    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。

    正确答案: A
    解析:
    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。
