    What does the word “sprawl” in the first paragraph indicate?

    正确答案: It indicates parts of Orange County extend untidily in different directions.
    解析:
    语义理解题。由题干定位到文章第一段,sprawl一词在该段出现了两次,第一次在“the Los Angeles sprawl”中作动名词,第二次在“sprawling Orange County”中作动词,根据meet一词可知,以上所涉及的两处为两个不同的地区,且是两个区域向外延伸的边缘地带;此外,该段首句还提到,沿着大道,三进三出Cerritos;且sprawl一词原意为“随意地摊开四肢”,由以上几点可以推测出sprawl在此处意为“凌乱地展开”。

    正确答案: C
    解析:
    根据题意定位至第三段第一句“In fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal.”说明该段的内容与蚂蚁如何与敌人战斗有关。根据画线短语所在句子中的“fearless”和“a creature much larger than themselves, attacking in large groups and overcoming their target”可知,蚂蚁不惧怕与比自己大得多的动物打斗,它们会成群地发动攻击,战胜它们的目标。故推测画线短语take on意为“与……打斗”,与fight against意思相近。

    What does “In rude health” in the first sentence of paragraph 3 probably mean?

    正确答案: Strong and healthy.
    解析:
    语义理解题。由题干关键词可定位到文章第三段第一句,即该段的主题句。随后通过列举SCI、斯图尔特企业的例子说明他们都面临着困难。由此可见,整个殡葬业的形势不容乐观。因此该段首句要表达的也正是这一层含义。由此可以推断,in rude health应该表示“情况好”之意。

    解析:

    A

    immediately

    B

    directly

    C

    carefully

    D

    much


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    considerably位于最后一段句首,作为副词修饰drop。该句意思是自从Parris开始她的研究后,墨尔本的青蛙数量下降…。B项“直接地”,C项“认真地”明显不符合题意。由最后一段最后一句知十年干旱期间,池塘的数量越来越少,可知青蛙数量下降有一个过程,不是突然的,因此A项错误。

  • 第22题:

    问答题
    What does the word “piquant” in the last paragraph probably mean?

    正确答案: Interesting.
    解析:
    语义理解题。文章首段提到,在Virginius看来,妻子除了缺少一点令人心动的脆弱之外可以说是堪称完美。之后又表示这样的完美减少了很多乐趣,尤其是爱情的乐趣。文章尾段与首段相互呼应,提到即便是最不挑剔的丈夫也希望妻子具有一些piquant的品质,而不仅仅是善良。由此可以推断,piquant应该是一种让人觉得有趣的品质,而Victoria所缺少的正是这种品质。
