  • 第2题:

    The word “crisis” (in the last line but one, paragraph 3) most probably implies _________.

    [A] a dangerous moment

    [B] the last decision

    [C] the crucial point

    [D] a brave engagement


    正确答案:C
    本题考查词义理解。crisis一词出现在全文最后一句。该句指出它是一个点(point)。由其上文即倒数第二句可知,在这个点上主人公会完成一个行为或者做出一个决定,这个决定必然使他进入进一步发展轨迹(造成某些一般结果的点)。可见,crisis指的是戏剧中决定情节发展的关键性的转折点,而不是“时刻”、“决定”或“约定”。[C]正确。

  • 第4题:

    问答题
    What does the word “haven” in the last paragraph refer to?

    正确答案: shelter
    解析:
    语义题。根据题干定位至原文最后一段。该段前两句说到:You can imagine the sibling rivalry in all its permutations. Eventually I took haven in the written word to get away from it.从第一句的rivalry一词可以看出作者与弟弟妹妹间的竞争,而第二句的to get away from it说明了作者读书的目的就是为了逃避这种竞争。由此便可推知shelter“避难所”是正确答案。

  • 第5题:

    问答题
    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”。

    Passes slowly.

    B

    Runs quickly.

    C

    Moves actively.


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。题材是科普知识。科学家们通过研究发现了人们在快乐的时候时间过得快,而无聊时时间过得慢的原因。
    词义猜测题。划线部分所在句表示“当我们快乐时会发现时间过得很快,而当我们无聊时,时间会…。”根据句意可知,前后表示对比,所以drags应该是“过得慢”的意思。故选A项。

    What will next paragraph probably talk about?
    A

    How does WAP surf the Internet.

    B

    How does WAP unlock the information.

    C

    How does WAP combine power and freedom.

    D

    How does WAP send out the latest traffic information.


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    文章的最后一句话“WAP combines power and freedom”是一个承上启下的句子。最后一段谈到较早一代的移动电话尽管方便,但能做的事情却有限;计算机使人们得以进入信息世界,但这个世界被关在一个丑陋的灰盒子里面。这个灰盒子被电缆固定在墙上;而WAP结合了“能量”与“自由”。所以下一段作者会论述WAP怎样结合了“能量”与“自由”。

    people who often take taxis

    people who often have meals in big hotels

    C

    people who are dishonest

    D

    people who are worthy of trust


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    词汇题。由最后一段第一句可知,“日常生活中有如此多的漏洞,对于那些喜欢占‘小便宜’的人来说,芬兰简直是一个天堂”。因此“those”指代的是“people who are dishonest”。故C为正确选项。

    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。

    解析:
    结合原文第四段中的“Andi pulled out her phone to contact her husband, Jason, but he didn’t respond”可知,此处表达的是转折关系。她掏出手机联系她的丈夫,但是她的丈夫没有接电话,因此respond在这里表示“回复,回应”。故正确答案为D项。

    问答题
    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。

  • 第18题:

    The word “piquant” in the last paragraph probably means______.
    A

    adventurous.

    B

    unusual.

    C

    lofty.

    D

    interesting.


    正确答案: D
    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所缺少的正式这种品质,故答案为D项。

    词义猜测题,要联系上下文进行合理推测。根据第三段From example后面几句话的描述,在第一版里,Cinderella最终原谅了她的姐妹们。但是在专门写给孩子们看的第二版里,Cinderella的鸟把她姐妹们的眼睛啄下来了。可知是增加了暴力性,因此D项符合。

    C

    Parents

    D

    Summer camps and outdoor adventures


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    第三段中划线单词They所在句子之前为“Such trips are great for adventurous students”,意思是“这些活动对爱探险的孩子们来说十分有益”,接下来是讲这些活动对另外一类孩子的好处,可知they指代的也是Such trips,即summer camps and outdoor adventures,故D项正确。
