41、o make mistakes。介詞for，from或of均不能與之搭配。2.A.ruptureB.corruptionC.eruptionD.disruption答案:D選項(xiàng)D為disruption，意為“混亂”；也可以譯作“失衡”，因此是正確答案。選項(xiàng)B為“腐敗，腐爛”多指人或機(jī)構(gòu)；選項(xiàng)A為“破裂”；選項(xiàng)C為“(火山)爆發(fā)，(疾病)突發(fā)”，均與句義不符。3.A.actionsB.functionsC.reflectionD.behavior答案:BB項(xiàng)functions(功能，機(jī)能)可以與空輅前的biological搭配，表示“生物的機(jī)能”?？崭袼诘亩ㄕZ從句的意思是：“控制生物機(jī)能的時(shí)間

42、安排”。4.A.regularB.formalC.continualD.circular答案:A從常識(shí)可知，晝夜更迭是有規(guī)律的，這種規(guī)律性循環(huán)往復(fù)，因此a regular rhythm of daylight and darkness是通順的，A項(xiàng)regular為正確答案。D項(xiàng)cir cular意為“循環(huán)的”，雖然晝夜交替也循環(huán)往復(fù)，但空格所修飾的名詞rhythm本身就含“循環(huán)”之意，選項(xiàng)C“連續(xù)不斷的”顯然與上下文意思不符，生物鐘不是用來使人適應(yīng)連續(xù)的晝夜更迭的，B項(xiàng)formal則不能與rhythm搭配使用。5.A.retainsB.encountersC.possessesD.experi

43、ences答案:D本題的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，A項(xiàng)“保留”和C項(xiàng)“擁有”放人句中意思不通順，比較容易排除。B項(xiàng)encounters意思為“遇到，遭遇到”，放到譯文中完全講得通，干擾性較大，但仔細(xì)辨別，該詞的解釋為find or be faced with something new, strange, unpleasant, difficult or dangerous也就是說，它所帶賓語往往有負(fù)面意義，或者是新奇陌生的東西，晝夜交替是自然現(xiàn)象，用encounter就顯得不妥當(dāng)。D項(xiàng)experiences經(jīng)驗(yàn)，經(jīng)歷”，meet with a situation or problem, or be aff

44、ected by it，放入句中非常貼切，為正確答案。6.A.diseasesB.symptomsC.signsD.defects答案:B時(shí)差反應(yīng)導(dǎo)致生理失衡，因此會(huì)產(chǎn)生某種癥狀，選項(xiàng)B正是“癥狀”之意，為正確答案。A項(xiàng)為“疾病”，時(shí)差反應(yīng)還不是真正的病，因此不正確；C項(xiàng)signs為“跡象，征兆”，但這個(gè)詞不像symptom那樣具體指病理上的某種表現(xiàn)。D為“缺陷”，時(shí)差只是一種正常的生理反應(yīng)，談不上是缺陷。7.A.whileB.whereasC.ifD.although答案:A根據(jù)句意(見上句)，這里必須用一個(gè)表示一段時(shí)間的連詞。在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，只有while是時(shí)間連接詞，因此選項(xiàng)A正確。而B項(xiàng)

45、表示轉(zhuǎn)折，C項(xiàng)表示假設(shè)，D表示讓步，均與句意不符。8.A.adaptableB.approachableC.availableD.agreeable答案:C上文談到時(shí)差反應(yīng)對(duì)人們的干擾?？吹奖揪溟_頭“Now a new anti-jetlag sys tem.”時(shí)，我們可以推測，是不是這樣一種系統(tǒng)已經(jīng)發(fā)生了呢?空格后定語從句補(bǔ)充說明它建立在廣泛的開創(chuàng)性的科研項(xiàng)目的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)步證實(shí)了我們的猜測。C項(xiàng)available意思是able to be used,had or reached，意為“可得到的”，常常作表語，符合句意，所以為正確答案。9.A.broadB.inclusiveC.tentati

46、veD.extensive答案:Dextensive“廣泛的”，指涵蓋了大量細(xì)節(jié)、觀點(diǎn)和內(nèi)容，extensive scientific re search符合英語的搭配習(xí)慣，用在句中也與句子意思相合，因此是正確答案。10.A.devisedB.recognizedC.scrutinizedD.visualized答案:A這句話的意思是：通過控制身體與光線的接觸，馬丁博士已_盡快使生物鐘適應(yīng)新時(shí)區(qū)的方法。顯然，空格中應(yīng)為表示“發(fā)明、發(fā)現(xiàn)”一類的動(dòng)詞。A項(xiàng)為“設(shè)計(jì)，想出”，是正確答案。11.A.atB.throughC.inD.as答案:B根據(jù)句意(見上句)，正確答案應(yīng)為表示“通過(某種方法)”之

47、意的介詞。B項(xiàng) through表示通過某種途徑或方法達(dá)到，因此正確。其余介詞均不具備這一含義。12.A.mostB.leastC.littleD.more答案:A根據(jù)上下文，既然這種方法可以輕松完成生物鐘對(duì)新時(shí)區(qū)的適應(yīng)，那么它不會(huì)只消除“很少的”(選項(xiàng)C)或“最少的”(選項(xiàng)B)難受感覺，A項(xiàng)most(大部分)放入句中，程度合適，且“most of”可以與不可數(shù)名詞搭配，因此為正確答案。由于本句沒有比較的意思，所以選項(xiàng)D也不對(duì)。13.A.attainB.shedC.retrieveD.seek答案:D從句意可知，空格中要填入一個(gè)與“避開”意義相反的動(dòng)詞。A項(xiàng)為“獲得”；B項(xiàng)為“脫落”；C項(xiàng)為“取

48、回，收回”，這些詞都不能與“bright light”搭配，也不是 avoid的反義詞，因此都不可能是答案。D為“尋找”，最符合句意，因此正確。14.A.onB.withC.forD.in答案:C這句話的主要意思是：為接觸亮光而制定恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)刻表。表示“為”的介詞一般用for，schedule與之搭配，表示做什么的時(shí)間表，因此C正確。15.A.uniqueB.specificC.complicatedD.peculiar答案:B根據(jù)上下文和選項(xiàng)，本句的大意是：制定恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)間表取決于特定的旅行計(jì)劃。只有B項(xiàng)specific“特定的，特有的”符合句意，且從后一句中的specific也可以推知。16.

49、A.normB.modeC.patternD.style答案:C空格中要求填入一個(gè)能與sleep搭配、表示“起居習(xí)慣”的詞。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，A項(xiàng)為“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，規(guī)范”，D為“風(fēng)格”，首先可以排除。B項(xiàng)mode意為“方式”(a possible, customary, or preferred way of doing sth.)，似乎也不錯(cuò)，但是相對(duì)于選項(xiàng)C而言，就顯得不夠準(zhǔn)確，C項(xiàng)pattern指“A reliable sample of traits, acts, tendencies, or other observable characteristics of a person，group，or

50、 institution”，因此為最佳答案。17.A.directoriesB.instructionsC.specificationsD.commentaries答案:B這里要求填入一個(gè)可與介詞with搭配的名詞，修飾“Trip Guide”。我們使用旅行指南的目的是為了得到指導(dǎo)，B項(xiàng)的意思為“指令，說明”，一般用于指導(dǎo)人們?cè)趺醋?，因此是正確答案。A項(xiàng)為“姓名、住址錄”；C項(xiàng)為“詳述，規(guī)格 (說明書)”；D項(xiàng)為“注解，注釋”。18.A.offB.onC.forD.up答案:C這里要求填入一個(gè)介詞或副詞，與動(dòng)詞call構(gòu)成動(dòng)詞短語，表示“需要”之意。 call只有與for搭配，才表示“需要”，

51、因此選項(xiàng)C為正確答案。call off“取消”；call on“拜訪”；call up召集”。19.A.orB.andC.butD.while答案:A空格所在句子的前半部分談到：如果外面天黑了，或是天氣不好你在飛機(jī)上。這里有三個(gè)表示非此即彼的并列結(jié)構(gòu)，顯然，此處應(yīng)填一個(gè)表示“或者”的詞，因此A正確。20.A.agitationB.spurC.accelerationD.stimulus答案:D本題要選擇一個(gè)名詞作provide的賓語。句子的后半部分意思是：你可以使用一種特殊的燈光裝置，提供必要的燈光，以進(jìn)行閱讀、看電視或工作等一系列活動(dòng)。這里應(yīng)填入一個(gè)表示“刺激”的詞。A項(xiàng)為“煽動(dòng)，鼓動(dòng)”；C

52、項(xiàng)為“加速，促進(jìn)”，肯定不合適。B項(xiàng)spur有刺激之意，但側(cè)重強(qiáng)調(diào)“鞭策性的鼓勵(lì)”，只有D，stimulus(something that causes activity)“刺激，刺激物”合適。Section Reading ComprehensionPart ARead the following four texts.
