3.共用题干 Transport and Trade1.Transport is one of the aids to trade.By moving goods from places where they are plentiful to places where they are scarce,transport adds to their value.The more easily goods can be brought over the distance that separates producer and consumer,the better for trade.When there were no railways,no good roads,no canals,and only small sailing ships,trade was on a small scale.2.The great advances made in transport during the last two hundred years were accompanied by a big increase in trade.Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to develop between Britain and New Zealand,for instance.Quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big business, drawing supplies from,and selling goods to,all parts of the globe.Big factories could not exist with-out transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and from their homes.Big city stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily from the suburbs and goods delivered to their homes.Big cities could not survive unless food could be brought from a distance.3.Transport also prevents waste.Much of the fish landed at the ports would be wasted if it could not be taken quickly to inland towns.Transport has given us a much greater variety of foods and goods since we no longer have to live on what is produced locally.Foods which at one time could be obtained only during a part of the year can now, be obtained all through the year. Transport has raised the standard of living.4.By moving fuel,raw materials,and even power,as,for example,through electric cables, transport has led to the establishment of industries and trade in areas where they would have been impossible before.Districts and countries can concentrate on making things which they can do better and more cheaply than others and can then exchange them with one another. The cheaper and quicker transport becomes,the longer the distance over which goods can profitably be carried.Countries with poor transport have a lower standard of living.5.Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messages and information. Means of communication,like telephones,cables and radio,send information about prices,supplies,and changing conditions in different parts of the world.In this way,advanced communication systems also help to develop trade.Only when goods can be carried to all parts of the world quickly_______.A:to send goods to various parts of the worldB:at any time during the yearC:has greatly promoted tradeD:is it possible to produce on a large scaleE:the transport of goodsF: it is possible to produce on a large scale

参考答案和解析
答案:A
解析:
对商品的挑选范围是广泛的(wide),故本题选B。
商品种类太多,对挑选商品的顾客来说,并不是一件好事,a favour意为“一件好事”。
考查固定搭配。think of意为“考虑”。consider用于此处不需加of,排除;plan后跟 for或to do;hope后跟(to) do。故本题选D。
本句句意:实际上有大约1600种不同款车待售。
允许我们选择最适合我们需要的产品,“允许”用allow。
但是,选择也可能表现(represent)出一些问题。
固定搭配。get hold of意为“掌握,抓住”。
广告是说服顾客买其商品的,因此用persuaded。
前面介绍知道怎么挑选商品的人,后面举出一个因挑选手机而感到困惑,转而放弃手机买花的例子,显然此处是转折句,用however。
the amount of choice意为“大量的选择”。
焦虑和压力的来源(source)。
固定搭配。set out意为“出发,动身”,这里是指出去给女朋友挑选生日礼物。
因为有太多款手机供挑选,因此他感到很困惑(confused)。
固定搭配。give up意为“放弃”。
该处是说他放弃买手机,改用一束鲜花来代替礼物送给他女朋友。故本题选B。

    _________(51)
    A:appropriately
    B:properly
    C:probably
    D:possibly

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题考查的是对上下文的理解和副词辫析。本句意为“在英国超过一半将午餐带到学校吃的儿童中午吃得不恰当”。此处需要有“恰当地,正确地”意思的副词。A 选项意为appropriately“适当地;相称地”。B选项properly意为“适当地,正确地”。C选项 probably意为“大概,或许;可能”。D选项possibly意为“可能;也许;大概”。所以应该在A和 B之间选择,A选项倾向“得体”。所以B选项是正确答案。
    本题考查对上下文的理解。选择B选项provide提供。该句强调学校饭食和孩子的关系,根据上下文应该选“提供”。所以B选项是正确答案。
    本题考查对上下文的理解。本句意为“孩子们可以选择自带食物或者在食堂就餐”。选项A prefer意为“更喜欢”。选项B manage意为“管理;经营”。选项C want意为“需要”。而选项D choose意为“选择”。所以选项D是正确答案。
    本题考查对上下文的理解。本句意为“一项令人震惊的发现显示…." B 选项number意为“号码;数字”。C选项figure意为“数字;人物”。D选项factor意为“因素;要素”。只有A选项finding意为“发现”,符合句意。所以选项A是正确答案。
    本题考查倒装句。本句意为“学校午餐有严格的准备标准”。B选项procedure意为“进程”;C选项condition意为“条件”;D选项way意为“方式,方法”;只有A选项 standard意为“标准”。所以选项A是正确答案。
    本题考查量词辫析。A、C、D把量具体化了,然而本题中并没有明确指出每天应该摄人多少水果,所以只是“比例”的意思,所以选项B是正确答案。
    本题考查动词搭配。本句意为“然而被检查的学生自带的饭盒中包括甜饮料、薯条和巧克力棒”。D选项investigated意为“研究;调查”。A选项examine意为“检查”,更符合句意。所以选项A是正确答案。
    本题考查动词辫析。本句意为“学生摄取的糖分是他们应当在午餐中摄取的两倍”。其中A选项take意为“拿,获得”。B选项contain意为“包含;控制”。D选项 consist意为“组成;在于;符合”。只有C选项consume有“摄取”之意,符合句意。所以选项C是正确答案。
    本题考查对上下文的理解。本句的意思为“这份调查研究对为什么在过去的十年中英国学生的超重人数上升提供了一个更好的解释”。A选项view意为“观察;意见。”B选项knowledge意为“知识;学问”。D选项opinion意为“意见,主张”。C选项under-standing意为“谅解;理解”,符合句意。所以选项C是正确答案。
    本题考查动词辫析。本句意为“这份调查研究对为什么在过去的十年中英国学生的超重人数上升提供了一个更好的解释”。B选项expanded意为“扩大(面积,体积的扩大)”。C选项extended意为“扩张(延展性)”。D选项added意为“增加,加上”。A选项 increased意为“增长的”,符合句意。所以选项A是正确答案。
    本题考查对动词的理解。此处的句意为“政府不能批评家长”。B选项 instruct意为“指导;通知;命令”。C选项 order意为“命令;整理”。D选项tell意为“告诉,辫别”。A选项criticize意为“批评”,与句意相符。所以选项A是正确答案。
    本题考查形容词辫析。此处句意为“……但可以提醒他们牛奶、水果和蔬菜的营养价值”。B选项healthy意为“健康的,健全的”。C选项positive意为“积极的”。D 选项good意为“好的,优良的”。从句子的意思上看这里有“营养的”意思,而A选项nutritional意为“营养的,滋润的”,与句意相符。所以选项A是正确答案。
    本题考查的动词辫析。此句意为“孩子们饮食上小小的改变可能会影响他们未来的健康”。A选项damage意为“损害,毁坏”。B选项predict意为“预测”。C选项 destroy意为“破坏,消灭,毁坏”。只有D选项affect意为“影响”,与句意相符。所以选项D是正确答案。
    本题考查对上动宾短语。develop habits为固定搭配,是“养成习惯”的意思,所以选项D是正确答案。
    本题考查的是动词辫析。此句意为“……家长却是唯一能够阻止这件事发生的人”。B选项define意为“定义,使明确”。C选项decide意为“决定”。D选项delay为 “延期,耽搁”。只A选项prevent意为“预防,防止”,与句意相符。故选A。

    6._________
    A:idea
    B:plan
    C:purpose
    D:decision

    答案:D
    解析:
    根据上下文,句意为“人们被追溯往事所吸引”。A项push与介词to搭配意为“推向”;C项fetch做不及物动词为“取得,拿到”;D项brought与介词to搭配意为“恢复知觉”;而B项attracted与介词to搭配意为“被……吸引”,故选B。
    根据句意“人们试图查明更多的历史”,此处动词应有“查找,查明”之意。A 项lay out“布置,设计”,B项make out“理解,辫认出”;C项put out“熄灭,出版”,均与句意不符;D项find out有“找出,查明”之意。故选D。
    本题考查副词。其中B项greatly意为“很,大大地”;C项mostly意为“主要地,通常”;D项widely意为“广泛地”。本句意为“……特别是那些有相当短历史的国家 ……”,根据句意只有A选项fairly有“相当”的意思,符合句意,故选A。
    考查固定搭配。It is one thing..., it is quite another thing…“一方面……,另一方面……”,故选B。
    考查介词搭配。A项see与through搭配意为“看穿,识破”;B项move与介词through搭配意为“穿过”;D项live与through搭配意为“度过,经受住”。根据句意“……花费时间去仔细查阅一本书……”只有C选项go through“经受,仔细检查”符合句意,故选C。
    句意为“并促使你决心去探究家族的过去”。A项idea“主意,概念” B项plan“计划”;只有D项有“下决心”之意。take the decision to do是短语,意为“下定决心做某事”。故选D。
    本题考查固定搭配。It is one thing..., it is quite another thing...“一方面……,另一方面……”。故选A。
    句意为“但如果开始有一点点计划,就能避免引起那么多麻烦。”此处应选择与problem相搭配有“引起”之意的动词。A项produce“制造”;C项build“建筑”;D项create“创造,创作”;B项cause“引起,使发生,导致,招致”,经常与troubles, problems, disasters搭配使用。故选择B。
    句意为“但如果开始有一点点计划,就能避免引起那么多麻烦”,此处应填有避免之意的动词。A项miss“漏掉,错过”;B项lost“遗失,失败”;D项escaped“逃脱,避开”; 而C项avoid意为“避免,避开,躲避”,与句意相符。故选C。
    句意为“如果你家族的故事写着你与某个名人有着一定的关系”,而选项B join with意为“加入”;选项C attach (to)为“依附,加入”;选项D be related to=be connect-ed with,“与……有关系”;只有选项A connect可与with搭配,意为“与……有关系”。故选A。
    此句意为“把它当成一个有趣的可能事件再好不过。”B项control“控制,管理”;C项contact“使接触”;D项direct“管理,指挥,导演”;而A项treat可与介词as搭配,意为“把……当做……”,与句意相符。故选A。
    考查介词。此句句意为“用一个简单的系统来收集和存储信息”,A项with “随着,支持,和…在一起”;B项by“通过,依据,经由”;D项through“通过,穿过,凭借”,C项 for“为了,为,适合于”符合句意,故选C。
    此句意为“……越复杂的方式可能只会扰乱你的方寸”,A项track“轨道,总计,小道”;B项path“道路”;C项road“公路,马路”;D项way“方法,方向”,get in your way是固定格配,意思是“阻档你的道路”。故选D。
    get started,固定搭配,意为“开始,被启动”。故选A。
    考查情态动词的用法。此句意为“但谁知道你会发现什么呢?” C项ought 有应当之意,而D项must引导一般疑问句,表示“必须做某事”,与句意不符。此句是对未来的可能性的一种反问,所以B选项might符合句意。故选B。

    Spoilt for Choice
    Some research which was recently carried out in Britain has confirmed what many ordinary shoppers have suspected for quite a long time.Having a______(51)selection of goods to choose from is not necessarily a______(52)to consumers.The average supermarket in Britain has around 40,000 different products on sale at any one time and if you're______(53)of buy-ing a car,then there are actually around 1,600 different______(54)on the market.
    In one sense,choice is a good thing because it______(55)us to buy those products which best suit our needs.But choice can also______(56)something of a problem.With over 400 brands of shampoo on the market,how does the consumer______(57)hold of the informa- tion necessary to choose between them?
    For some people the solution is to buy only well-known brands,whilst others are happy to be ______(58)by advertising. There is evidence,______(59),that for some people the ______(60)of choice available to them in Britain's consumer society is actually a ______(61)of anxiety and stress.One man interviewed by the researchers admitted that he had______(62)out to buy his girlfriend a mobile phone for her birthday,but was so ______(63)by the number of different types on offer in the shop that he______(64)up and decided to buy her a bundle(束)of flowers______(65)!

    51._________
    A: deep
    B: wide
    C: long
    D: tall

    答案:B
    解析:
    对商品的挑选范围是广泛的(wide),故本题选B。
    商品种类太多,对挑选商品的顾客来说,并不是一件好事,a favour意为“一件好事”。
    考查固定搭配。think of意为“考虑”。consider用于此处不需加of,排除;plan后跟 for或to do;hope后跟(to) do。故本题选D。
    本句句意:实际上有大约1600种不同款车待售。
    允许我们选择最适合我们需要的产品,“允许”用allow。
    但是,选择也可能表现(represent)出一些问题。
    固定搭配。get hold of意为“掌握,抓住”。
    广告是说服顾客买其商品的,因此用persuaded。
    前面介绍知道怎么挑选商品的人,后面举出一个因挑选手机而感到困惑,转而放弃手机买花的例子,显然此处是转折句,用however。
    the amount of choice意为“大量的选择”。
    焦虑和压力的来源(source)。
    固定搭配。set out意为“出发,动身”,这里是指出去给女朋友挑选生日礼物。
    因为有太多款手机供挑选,因此他感到很困惑(confused)。
    固定搭配。give up意为“放弃”。
    该处是说他放弃买手机,改用一束鲜花来代替礼物送给他女朋友。故本题选B。

    59._________
    A: what
    B: how
    C: when
    D: which

    答案:B
    解析:
    此处阐明作者的观点,只有view能代表对某方面的“见解”或“观点”,其他选项只是单纯的“想法”或是“决定”,不合题意。
    a number of是固定搭配,修饰可数名词,表示数量上“很多”。
    can’t afford to do sth.为惯用语,表示“负担不起……”。
    此题四个选项在语法上都能与前面的out of搭配,out of reason意为“无理的,不合理的”,out of duty与out of task意思是“出于责任,任务的”,out of necessity“有必要,出于……的必要”,综合分析只有C选项填入此空较为合理。
    固定搭配he cut out for/be cutout to do sth.意为“适合于,天生就是做某事的料”, make out“理解,辫认出;亲热”,bring out“使显出;出版;生产”,只有B选项符合文意。
    it comes to sth.为惯用说法,在这里意思是“涉及”,整句说的是“当涉及儿童托管时,有许多方式可供选择”,referto意为“指……而言”。
    across the street意为“街对面”,其他选项的词搭配不当,故选C。
    前面说父母有很多选择。此处说很多父母根本没有选择的余地,可见空内应为转折词however。因此C项正确。
    no matter+疑问词,表示“无论……”,此句意为“不管你选的托管方式有多好,一些孩子被留下时,都会激烈杭议”。因此B项正确。
    perfectly normal为惯用说法,意思是“完全正常的”,其他选项虽说在语法上与逻辑上也不错,但perfectly更好些。
    family members“家庭成员”,其他选项均不适合,C为正确答案。
    首先从逻辑上排除A和B选项,一定是留给孩子足够“多”的时间。C选项lots后面若能加上介词of则构成修饰可数名字的短语,lots of“许多的”,原文中被修饰词time 是不可数名词,只有D选项plenty of可以修饰不可数名词,表示“大量的”。

    此处意为“为你的孩子做到最好”,一般用do one's best for,而不用make one's best, 若想用give,则是give one's best to,因此只有D选项符合要求。
    上半句的quantity已经对此题的答案做出了暗示,一定是“质量”quality与“数量” quantity相对。
