  • 第10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。

    runs across

    C

    正确答案: A
    解析:
    本题可根据文章前两段来判断。第一段讲使用袖珍计算器不利于学生锻炼思考能力,第二段讲电脑及网球拍领域的新科技使人减少了锻炼自己思考能力的机会。由此可以判断出cuts across在句中是“影响”的意思,因此答案为A。

    C

    a great challenge.

    D

    解析:
    语义理解题。由题干关键词“cinch”定位至第一段climate change and carbon aren’t in a one-to-one relationship. If they were, climate modeling would be a cinch,可知气候变化和碳之间并非存在一对一的关系,如果是一对一的关系的话,那就会变得非常容易,由此推知cinch表“容易,简单”,A为正确答案。 B、C和D都排除。

    [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]。

    D) booked

    答案:C

  • 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”。

    A.calculated

    B.corresponded to

    正确答案:A
    A猜词题。单词所在的句子为“Mr. Luzaich, a mechanical engineer in Windsor, Calif. —in the Sonoma County wine country—first tallied the costs of his reasonable consumption in October 200 1.”(Luzaich先生是加利福尼亚州温莎的机械工程师,他2001年10月第一次……适度饮酒的费用。)文中后面他说的话是他浪费了好多酒的事实,而并未给出他饮酒的费用,因此,四个选项A“计算”,B“符合”,C“列出”,D“给出”中,C、D不符,B也不符合句意,选项A符合逻辑,通过计算他得出自己喝酒其实浪费许多。

    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。

    sports activities

    B

    places for physical exercise

    C

    recreation centers

    D

    athletic training programs


    正确答案: A
    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。
