問題1選項

A.formulate

B.manipulate

C.regulate

D.stimulate

【解析】動詞辨析。句意:這種新材料開發(fā)的關(guān)鍵在于研究人員需要提升如何在分子水平上合成物質(zhì)的能力。

formulate:規(guī)劃，制定，用公式表示。manipulate:控制，操縱,影響。regulate:約束，管理，控制。stimulate：使興奮，促進，激勵。因此A項符合句意,在句子中語義為“合成”。

2.單選題

問題1選項

A.released

B.relieved

C.restored

D.retained

【答案】A

【解析】考查動詞辨析。release“釋放；排放”；relieve“解除；減輕”；restore“恢復(fù)，還原”；retain“保持”。句意：沒有人知道是什么引發(fā)了這場洪災(zāi)，每秒鐘排放100萬立方米的水，淹沒了英國和法國之間的屏障。因此A選項符合題意。

【答案】第1題:B

第2題:B

第3題:C

第4題:A

第5題:D

【解析】1.推理判斷題。文章第二段主要描述了WilliamPowers在紐約所見到的一個場景。由語段第一句“Powersdescribesascenethatshouldstrikemanyasfamiliar…（鮑爾斯描述了一個很多人都很熟悉的場景……）”可知該現(xiàn)象在日常生活中很常見，A選項在該語段中沒有提到，C選項“在其他地方很少發(fā)生”與第一句“strikemanyasfamiliar（很多人都很熟悉的場景）”不相符，D選項“是他一直在尋找的”與該語段的意思不相符，因此B選項“是一種常見現(xiàn)象”正確。

2.詞意猜測題。Downside“負面，缺點”，如果不認(rèn)識該單詞，也可從第三段最后一句話中的“conundrumofconnectedness.（連結(jié)性難題）”推斷出鮑爾斯意識到了不斷被新信息淹沒的負面影響。A選項confusion“混淆，困惑”；C選項challenge“挑戰(zhàn)，考驗”；D選項secret“秘密，機密”，因此B選項“缺點，不利條件”正確。

3.事實細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第五段中的“Weturnoffthehouseholdmodem,andwedon’thavesmartphonesthewholeweekend.Wecan’tdoWebsurfing.”heexplains.（“我們關(guān)掉家用調(diào)制解調(diào)器，整個周末都沒有智能手機。我們不能上網(wǎng)?！彼忉尩?。）可知“InternetSabbath”表示作者全家這天都不能上網(wǎng)，A選項“使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)打電話和發(fā)短信”不正確；B選項“上網(wǎng)娛樂”不符合原文；D選項“沒有互聯(lián)網(wǎng)而不能工作”原文也沒有提到，因此C選項“完全停止使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)”正確。

4.推理判斷題。文章最后一段有提到“Notthathethinksuppluggingyourmodemisnecessarilyeasy（并不是說他認(rèn)為關(guān)閉調(diào)制解調(diào)器一定很容易）”，可知“InternetSabbath”并不容易；最后一段作者還說到“WhatI’mabouthereistryingtoconvincepeoplethatit’sworthdoing.（我在這里的目的是試圖說服人們，這是值得做的）”。B選項“適合大多數(shù)家庭”原文沒有提到；C選項“對其他人來說很難跟著做”不符合原文意思；D選項“相對容易執(zhí)行”與原文意思相悖；因此A選項“真的值得一試”正確。

5.主旨大意題。文章圍繞威廉?鮑爾斯（WilliamPowers）的新書《哈姆雷特的黑莓》（Hamlet’sBlackberry）展開。作者從第二段“Earlyinthebook”開始就是描述的該書的內(nèi)容。因此這篇文章是一篇書評。A選項“社會調(diào)查”；B選項“新聞報道”；C選項“技術(shù)更新”，都不符合文章大意，因此D選項正確。

【答案】第1題:B

第2題:C

第3題:D

第4題:D

第5題:A

【解析】第1題:主旨大意題。首段提出大峽谷的形成是一個緩慢而有序的侵蝕過程，中間兩段則是對大峽谷的形成原因和過程進行了詳細分析，最后一段指出大峽谷的形成原因還包括其他一些外力因素。因此B項“導(dǎo)致大峽谷產(chǎn)生的各種力量”符合文章主旨。

第2題:判斷推理題。對于“wound”的理解可參考:thisgiantwoundintheEarth’ssurface(地球表面上的這道巨大的傷痕)。因此這里使用了比喻的修辭手法。C項“它（即大峽谷）看起來像地球表面上的一個傷口”正確。

第3題:細節(jié)事實題。第三段指出:Approximately65millionyearsagotheplateau’sflatsurfaceintheGrandCanyonareabulgedupwardfrominternalpressure(大約6500萬年前，大峽谷地區(qū)的高原平面由于內(nèi)部壓力而向上隆起)。因此D項“地球的內(nèi)部壓力抬起了科羅拉多高原地區(qū)”正確。

第4題:細節(jié)事實題。Oneoftheserivers,locatedeastoftheupwarp,wastheancestoroftheColorado.AnotherriversystemcalledtheHualapai.flowingwestoftheupwarp(位于該上翹東邊的這些河中的一條是科羅拉多河的前身。另一條被稱為華拉派河的河流在該上翹的西邊……)。由此可知，大約6500萬年前，上翹的地理位置在華拉派河和如今的科羅拉多河之間。

第5題:判斷推理題。最后一段指出:Sincethen,thecanyonforminghasbeencumulative(從那以后，大峽谷的形成一直是累積的)，因此，A項“它的輪廓是不斷變化的”正確。

D.imagined

【答案】B

【解析】動詞詞義辨析。eradicate“根除，消滅”；facilitate“促進，助長”；release“釋放，發(fā)行”；imagine“想象，猜想”。句意：一些社會批判家對19世紀(jì)的工業(yè)化持悲觀態(tài)度，認(rèn)為它助長了一種嚴(yán)酷粗糙的生活方式。選項B符合題意。

6.單選題

）whenitiswithinthelegalandmoralboundariesofsociety.

問題1選項

B.dispersed

C.delayed

D.restricted

【答案】D

【解析】考察動詞詞義辨析。compacted“壓縮；壓緊”；dispersed“分散；傳播”；delayed“延遲”；restricted“限制”。句意：我們都有自由選擇權(quán)，不喜歡在社會的法律和道德界限內(nèi)看到自由被限制。選項D符合題意。

7.單選題

問題1選項

A.standupfor

B.standupto

C.standwellwith

D.standupwith

【答案】B

【解析】考查詞組辨析。A選項standupfor“支持，堅持”；B選項standupto“經(jīng)得起，抵抗，勇敢地面對”；C選項standwellwith“得……寵信；得某人好感，好評”；D選項standupwith“給……當(dāng)儐相，陪伴”。句意：地毯看起來很漂亮，但（）不斷使用的磨損。這個句子要表達的意思是“但是經(jīng)不起不斷使用的磨損”，因此B選項符合題意。

【答案】1.當(dāng)與他人利益發(fā)生沖突時，利己主義的觀點就會成為一個問題：在某特定情形下，若不按道德行事，某人會明顯受益，因此，往往很難說服此人遵守道德規(guī)范對他或她有益。

2.至于人類為何需要遵守道德規(guī)范，我們還能給出其他的理由嗎？如果我們能夠盡可能地憑借經(jīng)驗或理性審視人性，我們會發(fā)現(xiàn)所有人類都有很多相似的需求、欲望、目標(biāo)和目的。

3.不需要進一步調(diào)查就能發(fā)現(xiàn)，人類為了滿足這些需求，必須樹立和遵循道德規(guī)范。這會鼓勵他們與他人進行合作，幫助他們擺脫可能會喪命、致殘，或者遭他人偷竊、撒謊、欺騙、嚴(yán)重地受限制或囚禁等帶來的恐懼。

4.然而無論倫理是否受歡迎或者膚淺，它可能成為，也一定應(yīng)是你的生活中最重要的一面。畢竟，學(xué)習(xí)如何更符合倫理道德地生活，以及改善你的以及身邊人的生活質(zhì)量，難道還有比這更重要的事嗎？

5.道德主要是關(guān)于人，以及他們與其他人或人類以外其他事物之間的關(guān)系。它涉及人類如何對待其他人或物，從而促進共同的福利、發(fā)展、創(chuàng)造力和意義，以及為了好戰(zhàn)勝壞和正義戰(zhàn)勝邪惡而努力。

A.developsgradually逐漸發(fā)展B.deterioratesuddenly突然惡化

C.recoversultimately最終恢復(fù)D.recursfrequently頻繁發(fā)作

【答案】A

【考查點】詞組辨析。

【解題思路】根據(jù)句意：社區(qū)衛(wèi)生護士經(jīng)常注意到，家庭成員會受到毀滅性的影響，當(dāng)病人的慢性疾病……應(yīng)該是慢性疾病的慢慢發(fā)展會給家庭帶來毀滅性影響。劃線詞組takesitscourse“順其自然”，也就是病程。因此選Adevelopsgradually“逐漸發(fā)展”與劃線詞詞義相似。

【干擾項排除】

B選項deterioratesuddenly突然惡化，不符合劃線詞詞義；

C選項recoversultimately最終恢復(fù)，不符合劃線詞詞義；

D選項recursfrequently頻繁發(fā)作，不符合劃線詞詞義。

【答案】因此，大學(xué)教授遇到的學(xué)生往往是這樣的：除了會在試卷上寫簡要答案之外，從不動筆寫任何東西，不怎么讀書，缺乏基本的數(shù)理技能，卻對自己的能力信心滿滿，還拒絕接受任何針對其作業(yè)的批評，甚至到了大哭大鬧的地步。

稍加批評，就得施以各種贊美鼓勵來緩和，以防引發(fā)對立情緒，或者情緒完全崩潰。

由于時間壓力，越來越多的大學(xué)老師自問：“給學(xué)生什么樣的成績才能保證他們不抱怨，更糟糕的是，才不會因為作業(yè)要求是否清晰而引發(fā)紛爭?”

因此，就不得不招進更多不合要求的學(xué)生，還不得不留下他們，從而將爭取學(xué)業(yè)成功的負擔(dān)從學(xué)生身上轉(zhuǎn)嫁到老師身上。

如果有時間，教師可以進行單獨輔導(dǎo)。但是學(xué)生的整體能力決定了在課堂上能夠嚴(yán)格要求他們的程度。

【解析】6.【試題答案】C

【試題解析】詞義推測題。由題干可以定位到原文第一段第一句Inthecollege-admissionswars,weparentsarethetruegladiators.（在大學(xué)入學(xué)的戰(zhàn)爭中，我們父母是真正的角斗士）。C選項“戰(zhàn)士”與“角斗士”的意思相近，因此C選項正確。A選項“巨人”，不符合文章內(nèi)容。B選項“指揮官”，不符合文章內(nèi)容。選項D“貪吃的人”不符合詞義，可排除。因此C選項正確。

7.【試題答案】D

【試題解析】觀點態(tài)度題。由題干可以定位到原文第一段倒數(shù)第三句Wesayourmotivesareselflessandsensible.（我們說我們的動機是無私和理智的。）D選項“不同意的”正確，根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可推測，父母宣稱是無私的和明智的是虛假的，因此作者不同意這個觀點。A選項“反感的”，可排除。B選項“冷漠的”，作者態(tài)度并不是冷漠的，可排除。C選項“矛盾”，不符合文章內(nèi)容，可排除。因此D選項正確。

8.【試題答案】C

【試題解析】主旨大意題。由題干可以定位到原文第四段（我們有一種全面的威望恐慌；我們擔(dān)心沒有足夠的獎杯。恐懼的父母催促他們的孩子申請比以往更多的學(xué)校。阿默斯特學(xué)院招生主任湯姆?帕克（TomParker）說，過去，父母焦慮的中心集中在沿海地區(qū)：波士頓、紐約、華盛頓和洛杉磯）。選項C“父母不應(yīng)該給孩子太多的壓力”，文中所說父母催促孩子申請比以往更多的學(xué)校，因此可推測，父母給孩子的壓力過大，C選項正確。選項A“美國年輕人的選擇很少，只能去精英學(xué)校”，不符合文章內(nèi)容，可排除。選項B“在美國，精英學(xué)校的競爭更加激烈”，不符合文章內(nèi)容，可排除，選項D“如果不上精英學(xué)校，孩子們的未來將是暗淡的”，沒有必然的關(guān)系。因此C選項正確。

9.【試題答案】D

【試題解析】推理判斷題。由題干可以定位到原文第六段中最后一句Theyearnedjustasmuchasgraduatesfromhigher-statusschools.（他們掙的錢和那些地位較高的學(xué)校的畢業(yè)生一樣多）。D選項“在教授反饋方面，他們的表現(xiàn)并不優(yōu)于其他學(xué)?！保蓲赍X這一點反映，他們的表現(xiàn)并不優(yōu)于其他學(xué)校，D選項正確。A選項“重點學(xué)校為學(xué)生提供更好的教學(xué)方法?！蔽恼碌谖宥翁岬健懊２⒉槐确敲Ｏ到y(tǒng)地采用更好的教學(xué)方法”，因此A選項可排除。B選項“重點學(xué)校的考試比其他學(xué)校多?！钡谖宥巫詈笠痪涮岬健敖淌诘姆答伜驼撐目荚嚨臄?shù)量——重點學(xué)校的表現(xiàn)略差”，B選項可排除。C選項“他們的新教學(xué)方法確保了畢業(yè)生的高薪”，文中第六段提到“他們掙的錢和那些地位較高的學(xué)校的畢業(yè)生一樣多”，因此C選項可排除。因此D選項正確。

10.【試題答案】A

【試題解析】作者意圖題。由題干可以定位到原文倒數(shù)第二段TheveryambitionweimposeonourchildrenmaygetsomeintoHarvardbutmayalsosetthemupfordisappointment.（我們強加給孩子們的雄心壯志可能會讓一些孩子進入哈佛，但也可能會讓他們失望）。由此可知選項A“太多的壓力可能會導(dǎo)致不滿意的結(jié)果”，符合文章內(nèi)容，A選項正確。B選項“他們自己的抱負不應(yīng)該由他們的孩子來實現(xiàn)”，文章沒有提到父母的抱負讓孩子實現(xiàn)，B選項可排除。C選項“他們的孩子可能經(jīng)常跳槽”，文章沒有提到此內(nèi)容，可排除。D選項“他們的孩子可能和他們沒有共同的興趣愛好”，文章沒有提到此內(nèi)容，可排除。因此A選項正確。

）.

問題1選項

A.thanmoreonefficiency

B.andmoreefficiency

C.andmoreonefficiency

D.thanefficiency

【答案】C

【解析】考查語法。題目中emphasis和efficiency處于構(gòu)成并列的關(guān)系。句意：一些公司采用了彈性工作時間，更少地強調(diào)壓力，更多地強調(diào)效率。實際上為“moreemphasisonefficiency”，選項C運用了省略的結(jié)構(gòu)，選項C符合題意。
