參考答案

1.C解析：參見句子：IntheFarEastinancienttimes，theumbrellawasallowedtobeusedonlybyroyaltyorbythoseinhighoffice．

2.A解析：本題屬推理分析題。文章第三句已提示：除了富有人有車外，大多數(shù)人都沒有車輪的交通工具了。

3.C解析：第一段中寫到從南到北、從東到西大約是300多英里，因此本題中從英格蘭中部到南海岸應(yīng)該是300英里的一半，150英里。

4.D解析：第三段第一句為該題主題句，下文全是列舉。

5.C見文章最后一句“Astudentwhohasheldonethesepositionsofauthorityismuchrespectedanditwillbeofbenefittoalatercareer”可知C符合。

6.C解析：第二段。文中提到超級種子。從很多樹中選出15棵長得最快的樹，獲得他們的樹種，再種，再從中找出長得最快的樹的樹種，再種。以此類推，就可獲得成材快的樹木了。所以是靠超級種子達(dá)到長得：陜這一目的的。選項C是正確的。

7.D這篇文章講的是MarkTwain的故事，他是美國著名的作家。參見第一句。

8.B解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。依據(jù)在文章第四句“Also,...product”。

9.C解析：參見最后一段。

10.C解析：倒數(shù)第二段。這段說駱駝在幾英里外就可聞到水的味道，可見該地區(qū)極為干旱。選項C是正確的。

11.B根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，可知B項不正確，courttennis并不是MajorWalterWingfield發(fā)明的。

12.A

13.D解析：作者在這篇文章中用說明和舉例的方式提出語言對人的認(rèn)知和感受的重要影響。作者在第一段就指出移民家庭的兩代人由于母語的不同而造成的對個人特征認(rèn)知和感受的困惑。第二段用作者自己的親屬為例說明這一困惑。第三段強(qiáng)調(diào)應(yīng)當(dāng)教授第二代移民自己父母的語言以明確他們的特征。

14.D

15.A解析：見原文第三段。

16.B

17.D

18.B解析：第2段第4行起點(diǎn)明題意。

19.B

20.C根據(jù)文中第四段第三句話可知，此題為尋找people的替代鬩。

21.C

22.C

23.B解析：本題為細(xì)節(jié)信息歸納推理題。題中關(guān)鍵詞為infer．．．thegoalof．．。infer說明須利用文中所給的條件，根據(jù)短文提供的情景進(jìn)行推理和概括，而不能只憑某句話或主觀看法下結(jié)論。第3段末句．．．by1890theunionhaddiedout及第4段末句mostfederallaws．．．werenotpasseduntilthe1930's說明KnightsofLabour早在1890年便瓦解了，而含有保護(hù)工人權(quán)益內(nèi)容的聯(lián)邦法律直到26世紀(jì)30年代才被通過。故正確B項。至于A項，其信息與文章內(nèi)容不符；C項文中沒有提及；D項內(nèi)容不僅文章中沒有，也不符合邏輯推理，所以都是錯的。

24.B

25.A解析：本題為細(xì)節(jié)推理題。在第二段中，文章指出依賴于衛(wèi)星圖像只能估計到大面積的砍伐和火災(zāi)，而對于無數(shù)個小面積的毀壞包括間伐是很難從衛(wèi)星圖像上看見的。但不能說衛(wèi)星對于調(diào)查森林毀壞程度是無用的。

26.B解析：本題的題干是問“銀行發(fā)生擠兌的主要原因”，可以在文中第十一行找到答案，就是許多人都認(rèn)為銀行拿不出錢來給每個人。

27.D事實細(xì)節(jié)題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】從第三段第一句可知，父母對撫養(yǎng)孩子的方法越來越感興趣。

28.D解析：參見第一段的最后一句：租電動汽車的人說，開電動汽車所獲得的遠(yuǎn)比所支付的要多。

29.D文章講的是一次事件，人被鯨魚吞入肚中卻活著出來了。D項是正確的。

30.D解析：參見第一段。

31.C解析：見上一條。

32.C

33.B解析：因為釘釘子要用錘子，下文也提到售貨員拿給他錘子，所以他做出的動作應(yīng)該是用錘子釘釘子的動作，故應(yīng)選B項。

34.C解析：前面提到聚會，后面提到新的千年，應(yīng)是歡呼。選項C是正確的。

35.B根據(jù)緊接著的國家名稱的提示可知是指將英語作為母語的人數(shù)。

36.A上文已經(jīng)提到修車工出題的事，這里再提他另外的事，故應(yīng)選A項。

37.B

38.A由前面的varietiesofthelanguage提示．以及aswellas應(yīng)連接并列成分可知A項正確。

39.C

40.C解析：2001年1月6日之后，

41.D詞義辨析題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】此句意為：那并沒有超出一個勇敢而活躍的人的能力范圍。for對……來說：0ver在……之上；beyond超過；behind在……之后。

42.Bconsequently意為“從而，因而”.moreover意為“而且，此外”.unexpectedly意為“出人意料地”.however意為“可是”。這里是遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。

43.A前面提到他的姐姐們已經(jīng)“tearsintheireyes”，所以此處應(yīng)是“我也被他的話感動(touched)了”。

44.A

45.D

46.A解析：withaspearinhim意為“體內(nèi)插一支矛”。

47.C解析：通過后面andfromaman,ifyouareawoman可以確定C選項Always。從上下文判斷，作者建議這樣做，所以不選A選項Never。

48.A

49.D解析：asenseofloss“失落感”。對于主人家庭將要發(fā)生的事情，我替他們感到難過。

50.B解析：talk意為“談話”，通常用于talktosb或talkwithsb．詞組之中；ask意為“問……，要求”，常用于asksb．forsth．或asksb．todosth．詞組之中；tellsb．sth．或tellsth．tosb；speak主要是指說什么語言。根據(jù)上文，本句意為：他們通常不向他們認(rèn)識的人尋求建議。

51.B

52.Alet的句型是：letsth．+be+過去分詞；make的句型為：makesth．+過去分詞；allow的句型是：allow+賓語+帶t0的動詞不定式；do在此不合語法。

53.C本題考查反意疑問句。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：我們忘記帶票了，但是，請讓我們進(jìn)去，好嗎?祈使句的反意疑問句分為兩種：當(dāng)祈使句中含有l(wèi)et’s時，用shallwe；當(dāng)祈使句中含有l(wèi)etUS時，要用willyou。

54.C本題考查非謂語動詞。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：不要坐在那里什么都不做，過來幫我。動詞+ing形式作伴隨狀語，表示與謂語動詞同時發(fā)生的動作。

55.Aassoonas是連詞，引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句，所以從句中動詞用一般現(xiàn)在時代替一般將來時，所以B．willcome不符合，C．come是動詞原形，D．iscoming是現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時，都不符合。

56.C解析：本題中的兩個從屬連詞that和although,that引導(dǎo)賓語從句，although引導(dǎo)賓語從句中的狀語從句。

57.B

58.B16．答案為B

你認(rèn)為他會自私到拒絕給我們點(diǎn)錢?so...asto...意為“如此……以至于……”，比較四個選項，只有B是正確的搭配。

59.D

60.Dbefore引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句可以用一般現(xiàn)在時表示將來。2022年甘肅省隴南市成考專升本英語學(xué)校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
