    _________(58)
    A:normal
    B:good
    C:main
    D:side

    答案:D
    解析:
    根据上下文的意思,失去(losing)的应该是fingerprints。 fingerprints是复数形式,指代它的代词是them。其他三个代词都不合适。
    空格所在句大意是,要用一个实例说明失去指纹是一个大问题。所以只有选项D最合适。
    第二段描述了实例的细节。第一句说病人用一种药名为卡培他滨的抗癌药治疗他的鼻咽癌。所以treat是必然的选择。cut“切割” ,find“寻找”和smooth“弄平”都与上下文接不上。
    从上下文判断,"After three years on the...(经过三年的······)”的后面应该接“用药”、“治疗”等字眼,所以选drug是正确的。选项recovery“康复”,diet'‘节食”或diagrosis“诊断”都与后面提到的病人进入美国受阻的事件不相符。
    for表示时间上“达到”,for 4 hours意为“长达四个小时”。
    美国海关因为采集不到那位癌症患者的指纹样本,于是盘问了他四个小时。所以本句提到的swirly应该与marks搭配,意思是“旋涡状指纹标记”。
    为了防止恐怖分子和罪犯进入美国,美国海关通过电脑对入境者进行指纹采样,然后与指纹库进行比照。根据常理,海关要检查每一位入境者的指纹。采样的手指是食指。后面的screened是解题的重要线索,引导读者选A,即printed。这里printed = finger-printed“采集指纹样本”。其他三个选项located“找出”,cured“治疗”和placed“放置”都与上下文的意思接不上。
    实例中的新加坡人用了抗癌药后的一个副作用是指纹消失,这是一种不良反应。所以,good, main, normal都不符合上下文的意思,只有side才是答案。side effect意为“副作用”。
    前面句子提及的服杭癌药是因,本段最后一句是果,连接词应该用 Hence。 However表示转折关系,Moreover和Furthermore表示“进一步”的关系,与上文连接不上。
    本段表达的意思是:由于癌症病人服用卡培他滨后指纹何时开始消失还-不清楚,所以主治医生要提前为病人开具指纹可能会消失的证明单。like, decide或have都与上下文的意思不符,只有begin最合适。
    参阅上一题的题解。本题四个选项词的前三个字母都是pre,只要知道prescribe的词义是“开处方”就会选D。
    第五段的意思是:“那位新加坡游客最后终于进入了美国。我猜想他护照上的名字没有带有任何危险信号。但是他同样要带有医师开的证明单——并且要随身携带。”本题without是答案。
    哪一个政府机构许可(approved)使用该类抗癌药?就是本段第一句提到的the Food and Drug Administration。四个选项中,只有关系代词which能指代the Food and Drug Administration,它是approved这一动作的发出者。
    最后一段表达的意思是:过去该药列出的不良反应只包括呕吐等,没有列出指纹消失这一副作用,现在应该补上这一条。所以,updating“更新”是答案。
    最后一段最后一句中,为了强调no where而将其前移,这时,句子要用部分倒装的形式。所以,答案是B。

    56._________
    A:. digits
    B: marks
    C: images
    D: pictures

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据上下文的意思,失去(losing)的应该是fingerprints。 Fingerprints是复数形式,指代它的代词是them。其他三个代词都不合适。


    前面两个句子说,失去指纹是一大问题。本句说,要举出一个实例以说明失去指纹会造成极大的困扰。所以只有选项D最合适。


    第二段描述了实例的细节。第一句说病人用一种药名为卡培他滨的杭癌药治疗他的鼻咽癌。所以treat是必然的选择。cut(切割) ,find(寻找)和smooth(弄平)都与上下文接不上。


    从上下文判断,"After three years on the...(经过三年的……)”后面应该接“用药”、“治疗”等字眼,所以选drug是正确的。选recovery(康复),diet(节食)或diagnosis(诊断)都与后面提到的病人进入美国受阻的事件接不上。


    for表示时间上“达到”,for 4 hours意为“长达四小时”。


    美国海关因为采集不到那位癌症患者的指纹样本,于是盘问了他4小时。所以本句提到的swirly应该与marks搭配,意思是“漩涡状指纹标记”。


    为了防止恐怖分子和罪犯进入美国,美国海关通过电脑对外国入境者进行指纹采样,然后与指纹库进行比照。根据常理,海关要检查每一位外国人的指纹。采样的手指是食指。后面的screened(比照)是解题的重要线索,引导读者选A,即printed。这里 printed = finger printed(采集指纹样本)。其他三个选项,即located(找出)、cured(治疗)和placed(放置),都与上下文的意思接不上。


    实例中的新加坡人用了杭癌药后的一个副作用是指纹消失,这是一种不良反应。所以,选good, main, normal(正常的)都不符合上下文的意思,只有side才是答案。 side effect意为“副作用”。


    前面句子提及的服用杭癌药是因,本段最后一句是果,连接词应该用Hence。而 However表示转折关系,Moreover和Furthermore表示“进一步”的关系,与上文连接不上。


    本段表达的意思是:由于癌症病人服用了卡培他滨后指纹何时开始消失还不清楚,所以主治医生要提前为病人开具指纹可能会消失的证明单。to take place(发生)之前填上like ,decide或have都与上下文的意思接不上,唯有begin最合适。


    参阅上一题的题解。本题四个选项中的英语单词的前三个字母都是pre-,只要知道prescribe的词义是“开处方”,就会选D。


    第五段的意思是,那位病人已经拿到医生开具的指纹消失证明单,现在他们出门旅行不会不带上它。本题without是答案。


    哪一个政府机构许可(approved)使用该类杭癌药?就是本段第一句提到的the Food and Drug Administration。四个选项中,只有关系代词which能指代the Food and Drug Administration,它是approved动作的发出者。


    最后一段表达的意思是:过去该药列出的不良反应只包括呕吐等,没有列出指纹消失这一副作用,现在应该补上这一条。所以,updating(更新)是答案。


    最后一段最后一句中,为了强调no where,将它移到句首,这时,原句的“it does not mention the potential for loss of fingerprints”就要写成强调句形式的“no where does it mention the potential for loss of fingerprints"。所以,答案是B。

    64._________
    A:sense
    B:sentiment
    C:feeling
    D:characteristic

    答案:A
    解析:
    根据上下文,可以判断出此处应该是“近期的”或“最新的”。recent意思是“最近的,近来的”,符合句意。late晚的,迟的;contemporary当代的;new新的。
    根据上下文,此处所填的一个名词是socialenvironment的一个补充,用来表示社会环境的某种变化。improvement意思是“改进,改善”,符合句意。increas。上升,增加;progres。进步;growth生长,增长。显然,社会环境不会“增长”或“进步”,只会“改善”。
    根据上下文,可以推断出此处表达的是“找出答案,解决问题”,workout符合句意:workfor为……工作;workin在……工作;workoff(通过消耗体力)宣泄感情,工作以偿债。
    learnfrom意思是“向某人学习”,符合句意。gatherfrom从……收集,搜集;understand不与from搭配;gainfrom从……中受益。
    makechanges意思是“做出改变”,符合句意。
    根据句子结构来看,这里缺少的是一个名词或能充当名词的词,helping作为名词时指"(进餐时的)一份食物,一客食物”,作为动名词时指“帮助,促进”,不合语境,所以排除D。A、B、C项的三个词都可以表示“部分,要素,成分”,但是ingredient通常用来表示原料、成分;com-ponent表示文章、学术观点或者电子产品中的部分或组件;portion表示数量上的一部分。此处是指饮食、食物中的原料、成分,故选A。
    beneficial意思是“有利的,有益的”,侧重对健康、身心或事业有益,符合句意。helpful有帮助的,有益的;supportive支持的,支援的;advantageous有利的,有益的,多指能直接导致相对优势或有助于达到目的的事。
    此处是一个动名词与to搭配的结构,用来表达“引起,导致,促成”的意思。contributeto意思是“促成,为……出力”,符合句意。help和cause若要填在此处,则空后的to得去掉;result与in搭配。
    前半句的although已经体现了转折关系,因此排除however;而根据前后的语义与语境,并无因果、递进或进一步加深的关系,因此也不用therefore和。ten;所以最佳答案为actually,虽然长寿是一件值得庆祝的事情,但它实际上也是一个社会问题。
    根据上下文可以判断,这里讲的老年人口肯定是增长的。所以首先排除reduce和de-crease;add表示“增加”时通常用作及物动词。结合日本的实际,此处应选double,指老年人口数量翻倍。
    该句意思是:这个国家即将______经济危机。faceaproblem为固定搭配,通常表达面对、面临什么问题。
    这里考查的是look和一些介词的搭配。lookafter意思是“照顾,照料”,符合句意。lookfor寻找;lookover检查(某事物);lookout小心,注意。
    这里表达的是退休年龄从65岁到70岁这样的一个调整,所以填人的词应该表达上调的意思。选项中只有rise和raise能表达上升的意思,而rise通常用作不及物动词,所以选raise,表示人为地上调。
    sense意思是“(对重大事情的)感觉、意识”,asenseofresponsibility表示“责任感”。
    playrolesin是固定搭配,意思是“在……中起作用”,符合句意。

  • 第11题:

    问答题
    With computers, people can now shop, bank, work and communicate from the home. The danger is that people could become isolated from each other and lose social skills which help them to get along with others. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Write a composition of about 400 words to discuss this topic.

    正确答案:
    In this computer-oriented era, people can do practically everything while still at home. They can do their shopping online, pay bills online, chat online and even work online. In the light of this phenomenon, many fear that this way of tackling things might lead to social isolation, and further to the loss of men's ability to co-exist with one another in society. Personally, however, I don't agree with this view, and it is my firm belief that not only will the Internet bring the world closer together, it will enable men to co-exist better—in the cyberspace, a worldwide community.
    First, unsurprisingly, computers and modems have transformed the world into a global village. Messages are sent instantly around the world via the Internet; a bargain is made between a gentleman in Russia and a lady in Argentina; and students studying abroad send voice mails to their loved ones at home, again by using the computer. Indeed, in this fast-paced world, it is impossible to conduct every social contact in a face-to-face manner. Therefore, it is only too natural that efficient online communication is partly taking the place of the time-consuming personal encounter. And why not? This online way of life has helped people on this planet to communicate better, and the fear that people could become isolated from each other in the virtual world is groundless.
    At the same time, even if the Internet ensures better social communication, actual social contact is still necessary: Not all business can be handled online, and perfect good will can not be achieved while the parties concerned are far apart. As a matter of fact, the Internet has made people realize the need for contact in actual social settings. Furthermore, communication in the cyberspace and that in the actual world can be complementary to each other-- each shining more brilliantly in the other's company. Sometimes it is fast and efficient to communicate online, while at other times people find it better to communicate in the actual world. Given this, people's ability to co-exist with one another has actually been enhanced, I would say, in this IT era.
    In conclusion, the computer and the Internet have brought human relations closer than ever before. To better adapt to this high-tech world, one should master the basic skills of the computer, for one' own sake as well as for the sake of a better and happier co-existence with others.
    解析:
    范文第一段开始提到了人们利用计算机的现状以及对此的忧虑,接着是作者的观点,认为计算机不仅不会疏远人们,还会拉近世界人们的距离。第二、三段是对论点的详细论证。最后一段总结全文,重申观点。

  • 第12题:

    单选题
    Which of the following can be concluded from the author’s statement “Any beneficial    substances from the turtles could also be synthesized chemically, so as to prevent the killing of turtles” in Paragraph 3 ?
    A

    The author feels sorry for killing turtles massively.

    B

    Turtles can be used to substitute many other medicines.

    C

    Many other kinds of herbs can be as useful as turtles.

    D

    International market feels happy for Chinese businessmen to buy.


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    本题是语义题。第三段最后一句提到:Any beneficial substances from the turtles could also be synthesized chemically,so as to prevent the killing of turtles.,意思是:从乌龟身上提取的有益物质也能通过化学合成而得到,这样就可阻止对乌龟的杀害了。由此可知作者为大规模的屠杀乌龟而感到遗憾。因此答案为A。

    第三篇

    No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world,but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
    In the United Kingdom,about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people.As we get older,many of us will become less mobile,hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
    Disablement can take many forms and happen at any time of life.Some people are born with disabilities.Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases.The longer time goes on,the worse they become.Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people's attitude towards them.
    Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,imagine what would you do if you could not get up steps,or on to buses and trains?What would you do if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?But there are other barriers:prejudice(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all.It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully understand what the disabled go through,so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability,not their disability,which counts.

    The key word in Paragraph 4 is__________.
    A:barriers
    B:disabled
    C:disability
    D:prejudice

    答案:A
    解析:
    第一段第一句是该段的主题句。" No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world , but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million.”说明残疾人数量很多。
    第四段第一句和第四句是该段主题句。" Disabled people face many physical barriers."',But there are other barriers:prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all.”该段从实际困难和精神歧视两方面说明残疾人面临的障碍。
    文章最后一句:"...it is the individual person and their ability, not their disa-bility ,which counts.”大意是“······真正重要的是残疾人的独立人格及其能力,而不是其身体上的残疾。”
    选项A、C都出现在第二段中。B是文章所呼吁的。文章最后一段说 "prejudice(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all"。残疾人所面临的障碍除了身体残疾外,还有人们的偏见和被人们忽视。所以选项D与原文不相符。
    主旨题。文章首先叙述残疾人之多和各种残疾,进而从身体和精神两方面阐述残疾人面临的障碍,并指出精神方面的障碍是最难被打破的。因此,可以推论出作者告诫我们应该正确对待残疾人。

    problem问题;gap间隙;sickness疾病;secret秘密。根据下文内容,这里应该是“失去指 纹会带来多大麻烦”。
    cut裁剪;treat治疗;find发现;smooth磨光。这里指,一位新加坡籍的医学博士描述了 用卡培他滨治疗一位患鼻咽癌的62岁老人的经历。
    diet饮食;exercise锻炼;recovery康复;drug药品,最符合题意。这里指,经过这个药物 三年的治疗后。
    介词for在这里指“持续……时间”。
    distinctive独特的,最符合题意,指人手指上特有的旋涡状的指纹。
    side effect意为“副作用”。
    hence意为“因此”,后面可以直接跟名词而独立成句。
    根据上下文可知这里说的是,指纹何时会消失是不确定的。
    report报告;discourage使气馁;caution告诫;praise赞美。caution最符合语境。
    note 票据,单子;这里指药物可能会使指纹消失的证明单。
    这里指,他同样要带医师开的证明单——并且要随身携带,因此选without。
    此处需要选一个关系代词引导非限制性定语从句,并作定语从句的主语,因此选 which。
    collect收集;copy模仿;associate联系;test测验。这里指,应该考虑更新与该药物有关 的副作用清单。
    本句是将表否定的状语no where提前构成的部分倒装句,助动词does应放在主语前。

    The Case of the Disappearing Fingerprints
    One useful anti-cancer drug can effectively erase the whorls and other characteristic marks that give people their distinctive fingerprints. Losing______(51)could become troublesome. A case released online in a letter by Annals of Oncology indicates how big a______(52)of losing fingerprints is.
    Eng-Huat Tan,a Singapore-based medical doctor describes a 62-year old man who has used capecitabine to______(53)his nasopharyngeal cancer. After three years on the______(54),the patient decided to visit U.S. relatives last December. But he was stopped by U.S. customs officials______(55)4 hours after entering the country when those officials couldn't get fingerprints from the man.There were no distinctive swirly______(56)appearing from his in-dex finger.
    U.S.customs has been fingerprinting incoming foreign visitors for years,Tan says.Their in-dex fingers are______(57)and screened against digital files of the fingerprints of bad guys-terrorists and potential criminals that our federal guardians have been tasked with keeping mit of the country. Unfortunately,for the Singaporean travelers,one potential______(58)effect of his drug treatment is a smoothing of the tissue on the finger pads.______(59),no finger- pnnts.
    "It is uncertain when fingerprint loss will______(60)to take place in patients who are taking capecitabine,"Tan points out. So he cautions any physicians who______(61)the drug to provide their patients with a doctor's note pointing out that their medicine may cause fingerprints to disappear.
    Eventually,the Singapore traveler made it into the United States.I guess the name on his passport didn't raise any red flags.But he's also now got the explanatory doctor's note-and won't leave home______(62)it.
    By the way,maybe the Food and Drug Administration,______(63)approved use of the drug 11 years ago,should consider______(64)its list of side effects associated with this medi-cine.The current list does note that patients may experience vomiting,stomach pain and some other side effects.But no where______(65)it mention the potential for loss of fingerprints.

    51._________
    A:. him
    B: her
    C: them
    D: he

    答案:C
    解析:
    根据上下文的意思,失去(losing)的应该是fingerprints。 Fingerprints是复数形式,指代它的代词是them。其他三个代词都不合适。


    前面两个句子说,失去指纹是一大问题。本句说,要举出一个实例以说明失去指纹会造成极大的困扰。所以只有选项D最合适。


    第二段描述了实例的细节。第一句说病人用一种药名为卡培他滨的杭癌药治疗他的鼻咽癌。所以treat是必然的选择。cut(切割) ,find(寻找)和smooth(弄平)都与上下文接不上。


    从上下文判断,"After three years on the...(经过三年的……)”后面应该接“用药”、“治疗”等字眼,所以选drug是正确的。选recovery(康复),diet(节食)或diagnosis(诊断)都与后面提到的病人进入美国受阻的事件接不上。


    for表示时间上“达到”,for 4 hours意为“长达四小时”。


    美国海关因为采集不到那位癌症患者的指纹样本,于是盘问了他4小时。所以本句提到的swirly应该与marks搭配,意思是“漩涡状指纹标记”。


    为了防止恐怖分子和罪犯进入美国,美国海关通过电脑对外国入境者进行指纹采样,然后与指纹库进行比照。根据常理,海关要检查每一位外国人的指纹。采样的手指是食指。后面的screened(比照)是解题的重要线索,引导读者选A,即printed。这里 printed = finger printed(采集指纹样本)。其他三个选项,即located(找出)、cured(治疗)和placed(放置),都与上下文的意思接不上。


    实例中的新加坡人用了杭癌药后的一个副作用是指纹消失,这是一种不良反应。所以,选good, main, normal(正常的)都不符合上下文的意思,只有side才是答案。 side effect意为“副作用”。


    前面句子提及的服用杭癌药是因,本段最后一句是果,连接词应该用Hence。而 However表示转折关系,Moreover和Furthermore表示“进一步”的关系,与上文连接不上。


    本段表达的意思是:由于癌症病人服用了卡培他滨后指纹何时开始消失还不清楚,所以主治医生要提前为病人开具指纹可能会消失的证明单。to take place(发生)之前填上like ,decide或have都与上下文的意思接不上,唯有begin最合适。


    参阅上一题的题解。本题四个选项中的英语单词的前三个字母都是pre-,只要知道prescribe的词义是“开处方”,就会选D。


    第五段的意思是,那位病人已经拿到医生开具的指纹消失证明单,现在他们出门旅行不会不带上它。本题without是答案。


    哪一个政府机构许可(approved)使用该类杭癌药?就是本段第一句提到的the Food and Drug Administration。四个选项中,只有关系代词which能指代the Food and Drug Administration,它是approved动作的发出者。


    最后一段表达的意思是:过去该药列出的不良反应只包括呕吐等,没有列出指纹消失这一副作用,现在应该补上这一条。所以,updating(更新)是答案。


    最后一段最后一句中,为了强调no where,将它移到句首,这时,原句的“it does not mention the potential for loss of fingerprints”就要写成强调句形式的“no where does it mention the potential for loss of fingerprints"。所以,答案是B。

    表达“学到······的经验或教衫I}”应用“learn a lesson from...",其被动形式为“a lesson is learnt from...",故选A。
    短语make change to…是固定搭配,意思为“对······做出改变”,故选B。
    在定语从句中,如果先行词是不定代词或者被不定代词修饰时,引导词常使用that而不 用which,故选A。
    单词beneficial和介词to构成固定搭配,意思为“对······有益”,故选B。
    根据本句的前半句以及常识可以判断,日本的人口出生率是呈下降趋势的,故选D。
    单词end作名词意思为“结尾”light作名词意思为“光线,灯”life意思为“生命,生 活”;mind意思为“头脑,想法”。本文主要探讨的是日本人口的寿命问题和生活质量问题,故 选C。
    单词figure一般指官方资料中的数字;digit常指0~9之间的数字;numeral的意思为 “数字,数码”;number指的是人或者事物的数目,the number of…意思为“······的数量”,故 选B。
    单词face作动词意思为“面对,遭遇”,常用于会造成较大影响,必须处理的事情;meet 意思为“遇见,见面”;adopt意思为“采取,收养”;encounter意思为“偶遇,遇见”,故选A。
    动词短语look after意思为“照顾,照料”,符合句意;look for意思为“寻找”;look over意 思为“查看,过目”;look out意思为“当心,向外看”,故选B。
    单词put意思为“放置”;move意思为“移动,转移”;rise意思为“升起,升高”,为不及物 动词;raise意思为“养育,提高”,为及物动词。这里表示的是将退休年龄提高,故选D。
    短语sense of responsibility意思为“责任感”,为固定搭配。类似的有a sense of achievement成就感和a sense of loyalty忠诚感等,故选A。
    选项中role和part均可与动词play连用表示“扮演······的角色”,可以说play roles in something和play a part in something或者play the part of,但不可以用play parts in/of something 这个结构,故选A。

    They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia (痴呆). The duties of these "guide dogs for the mind" will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals. The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning. The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer"s Scotland and Dogs for the disabled. Joyce Gray of Alzheimer"s Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine." The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer"s, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don"t need to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond. The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.Having a conversation with people with dementia will be ().
