參考答案

1.B39．答案為B

第二段...calltheoperatorandexplainwhathappened可知撥錯號碼后可向接線員解釋，以免收費。

2.D

3.D解析：本文講的是許多日本火車站啟用藍色的燈以減少臥軌自殺人數(shù)。第一段提到，藍色可以創(chuàng)造平靜的氛圍，想自殺的人會在這種氣氛中平靜下來，所以采用藍色。

4.D解析：參見句子..but，asshedislikedwakingafussandgettingpeopleintotrouble，shedecidedtotakebackthemoneyfromtheoldlady’shandbagandsaynothingmoreaboutit.句中makeafuss表示“小題大作”。

5.B解析：見原文第二段。他們在星期四的下午出發(fā)前往狩獵的地點，開車走了三個小時，到達那里的時間是下午5：15。由此計算他們出發(fā)的時間是下午2：15。

6.D解析：本題屬推理分析題。因為文章第四段第一句已提到：市場看起來似乎是很抽象的，接著文章有個轉(zhuǎn)折“but”，故real應(yīng)是concrete(實在的)的解釋。

7.C此題為細節(jié)題。從文中最后一段最后一句BecauseoftheTwoPennyBlue'srarenessandage；collectorshavepaidasmuchas$16，800forit可知，被高價收藏的是TwoPennyBlue，原因是這種郵票非常稀少，總共才只有12張，故D為正確答案。

8.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。

9.A

10.D

11.B

12.C

13.D解析：第二、三、四段。政府認為應(yīng)當(dāng)限制煤煙的排放量，以減少空氣中的污染顆粒。工廠是排放煤煙最多的地方，應(yīng)當(dāng)加以限制。但政府認為，住宅也應(yīng)受此限制，減少煤煙的排放。新的法律規(guī)定住宅必須安裝新型的低煙壁爐，否則，在污染比較嚴重的時期，這些住戶是不能使用他們的壁爐的。

14.D解析：細節(jié)辨認題。由第二段"'Getup,John!You'llbelateforworkagain!'ThepossibleexplanationtothetroubleisthatJohnisathistemperature-and-energypeakintheevening'可得出正確答案為D。

15.C

16.A解析：根據(jù)第五段中的Uponleavingthestore,wefeelhonorableandourself-respectisincreased可判斷出積極的行為可以增強我們的自尊心。

17.A

18.B

19.B

20.B

21.D解析：第1段講councilofEurope研究表明certainspeciesofreptilesandbutterflies面臨滅絕危險，故需要保護。

22.B

23.C

24.A解析：參見第一、二段。

25.D46．答案為D

從短文第一段Astheworldhaschanged，thewordhashadmanydifferentmeanings可知cool有很多不同的意思，D為正確選項。

26.C參見第一段。

27.B解析：參見原文第一段。單獨一只野狗看起來沒有危險，但它們組合成一群時就完全是另一回事了。他們是非常強悍的狩獵者。

28.A

29.B參見第二段第一句。

30.A第三段中提到一旦鯨魚擱淺，等待它的只有死亡。A項是正確的。B項可能是事實，但文中并未提及鯨魚死后的處理。

31.C解析：“thinkof”表示“認為，想”。

32.Cso…that…結(jié)構(gòu)，表示“如此……以致于……”。

33.A

34.A

35.B解析：這里指出什么沖突以及造成的后果：國家、宗教、社會的沖突，并有3500人喪失了生命。

36.A解析：他起跑的狀態(tài)不錯，但是是在跨過第五道欄時才開始加速的。

37.B解析：atthepeak表“在頂峰”，固定搭配。

38.D

28．答案為D

此處測試詞義與句法。yieldto(導(dǎo)致)，用法類似于leadto、payattentionto，to后應(yīng)接名詞(包括動名詞)。分析填充處所在句子，to后已經(jīng)有名詞planninganddecisionmaking，判斷出修飾它們的只能是形容詞或名詞?？催x項，排除動詞join和副詞together。比較individual(個人的)和

joint(聯(lián)合的)，依據(jù)句子的意思，選D為答案。

39.A句法結(jié)構(gòu)題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】正當(dāng)Johnny向外走時，他看見Lisette和她的朋友們正在門口。as引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句。

40.C

41.A你認為哪些人的話更有道理?

42.A解析：lateron為固定短語，意為“后來”。

43.Binitsplace表示“放棄某件事的那個地方”。

44.D讀書的時候你會在自己大腦中建立起圖像、思維和觀點等，這樣就鍛煉了你的腦力。而A項understanding“明白”；B項reach“區(qū)域，范圍”；C項field“田野”，顯然脫離了語境，故選D。

45.A解析：1908年，在英國倫敦，奧運會第一次給獲勝的運動員頒發(fā)金牌。

46.B解析：從空白后面的that從句可以看出，空白處應(yīng)填so，構(gòu)成so…that句型，意思是“如此……以致于”。

47.D根據(jù)下文developingcountries的提示，此處應(yīng)為nations。

48.A解析：這篇文章介紹了1998年兩位諾貝爾和平獎獲得者的事跡。awardaprizetosb．授獎予某人。挪威諾貝爾委員會決定將1998年諾貝爾和平獎授予JohnHume和DavidTrimble。

49.D答案為D。當(dāng)兩個相同的動作做比較時，為了避免重復(fù)，常用助動詞代替前面出現(xiàn)的動詞。

50.B戶外鍛煉，定時飲水，避免晚飯吃得過晚和憂愁，都有助于睡眠。因此答案應(yīng)該是exercises。

51.C12．答案為C

你的書法比我強多了。形容詞比較級可加much表強調(diào)。better本身就是比較級，不需要加more。aswellas表示“也……”。

52.D

53.B本題考查倒裝句型。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：只有到那個時候，她才意識到自己犯了個錯誤。以“only+狀語或狀語從句”開頭的句子要用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)，即把助動詞放在主語前。then意為“那時”，表示過去，所以要用一般過去時。

54.Dhit為“打，打擊”；knock為“敲，相撞”；beat“(接連地)打，打敗”；strike雖也有“打，撞擊”的意思，但作為及物動詞講時，還有(鐘)報(時)的意思。

55.B本題考查非謂語動詞。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：由于火山灰的原因，四月份仍有成千上萬的度假者滯留在國外。remain用作連系動詞．后接過去分詞作表語，表示主語所處的狀態(tài)或已經(jīng)發(fā)生的被動動作。該空用過去分詞表示主語所處的狀態(tài)。

56.A解析：“byfar+最高級”意為強調(diào)。

57.A

58.C解析：此句為強調(diào)句型，被強調(diào)部分是句子的主語，由第一個that即從屬連詞引導(dǎo)的主語從句來充當(dāng)；第二個that是強調(diào)句型的組成部分。

59.B解析：must表示“必須”。

60.B解析：在具有否定意義的詞起始的句子中，主句中的主語和謂語要倒裝。倒裝時，助動詞移至主語前面，實意動詞仍在主語之后。廣東省中山市成考專升本英語學(xué)校:________班級:________姓名:________考號:________
