headquartersinMississippi,setuptemporarysheltersforthehomeless.

A.operates

B.isoperating

C.hasoperated

D.operating

【答案】D

【解析】句意：1927年大洪水期間，密西西比緊急指揮部的紅十字會為

無家可歸的人搭建臨時避難所。本句的謂語為“setup”，動詞“operate”為

非謂語，因此采用現(xiàn)在分詞operating。因此，本題的正確答案為D。

absorbedintinydefiniteunitscalledquantaorphotons.

A.energythat

B.thatitisenergy

citisenergy

D.thatenergy

子發(fā)出和吸收的。本句中state后接以that引導的賓語從句，構(gòu)成動賓結(jié)

構(gòu)，且that不可以省略。賓語從句中缺少主語，主語一般為名詞，故用

名詞energy。因此，本題的正確答案是D。

19．ThebestknownofalltheArcticbirds,_____.

A.birdwatchersfavorptarmigans

B.beingptarmigans’andbirdwatchers’favorites

C.favoredbybothptarmigansandbirdwatchers

D.ptarmigansareafavoriteofbirdwatchers

【解析】句意：雷鳥是所有北極圈鳥類中最為出名的，也是觀鳥者的最

愛。本句中前半句的名詞詞組為主語補足語，后半句須為一個完整的句

子，只有A、D項符合要求。且前后主語一致，因此主語為鳥類

ptarmigans。因此，本題的正確答案為D。

20．Geysersareroundnearriversandlakes,wherewaterdrainsthroughthe

soil_____.

A.surfacebelowthedeep

B.deepbelowthesurface

C.thedeepbelowsurface

D.thedeepsurfacebelow

【答案】B

【解析】句意：間歇泉在河流和湖泊周圍，那兒的水穿過地表深層下的

土壤排出。形容詞詞組做soil的后置定語。因此，本題的正確答案為B。

21．“Yesterdayhehadablueheartandcoat.”Thatisanexampleof_____.

A.pun

B.metonymy

C.zeugma

D.syllepsis

【答案】C

【解析】句意：“昨天他心情差，穿了件藍色的外套?！痹谠渲?。blue

分別搭配了heartandcoat，且含義不一樣。Zeugma軛式搭配法是用一個

詞（動詞、形容詞或介詞）與兩個以上的在意義上不相干的名詞搭配。

pun雙關(guān)語。metonymy轉(zhuǎn)喻。syllepsis一語雙敘法。因此，本題的正確

答案為C。

22．“Byday’send,Ihaddrilled4216holestoadepthof18inches,andI

hadlostninepoundsmyhearing,feelinginbothhandsandtheabilitytolift

anythingheavierthantheeveningpaper.”Thatisanexampleof_____.

【解析】句意：“今天一天，我鉆了4216個洞，深至18英尺，但是我瘦

了9磅，我的聽覺和雙手的知覺減退了，連舉起比餐巾紙重的東西的力

氣都沒有了。”anticlimax突降法。pun雙關(guān)法。syllepsis一語雙敘法。

allusion典故。因此，本題的正確答案為C。

23．“Britanniarulesthewaves,Mussoliniwaivestherules.”Thatisan

exampleof_____.

A.paregmenon

B.regression

C.paradox

D.zeugma

【答案】B

【解析】句意：“不列顛女神統(tǒng)馭四海，墨索里尼無法無天?！眗egression

回環(huán)，回文。paregmenon同源詞并列。paradox自相矛盾。zeugma軛式

修飾法。因此，本題的正確答案為B。

24．“Clearly,whenitcomestomarriage,practicingbeforehanddoesn’t

makeperfect.”Thatisanexampleof_____.

A.oxymoron

B.transferredepithet

C.malapropism

D.parody

【答案】D

【解析】句意：很明顯，在婚姻里，熟不一定能生巧?！皃racticing

beforehanddoesn’tmakeperfect”是模仿英語中的名言“practicemakes

perfect.”。parody仿擬。oxymoron矛盾修飾法。transferredepithet移就。

malapropism可笑的用詞錯誤（尤指用發(fā)音相似而意義全非的詞）。因

此，本題的正確答案為D。

25．"Theoneinthebrownsuitgapedather.Bluesuitgrinned,mighteven

A.hyperbole

B.transferredepithet

C.metonymy

D.oxymoron

【答案】C

【解析】原文中“Bluesuitgrinned,mightevenhavewinked.”“suit”不可能

grin或wink，這里“suit”指的是“suit”里頭的人。因此，運用的修辭手法

是轉(zhuǎn)喻。metonymy轉(zhuǎn)喻。hyperbole夸張。transferredepithet移就，轉(zhuǎn)移

修飾。oxymoron矛盾修飾法。因此，本題的正確答案為C。

園的喜愛。故選A。

27．A文章第二段提到公園里時常擠滿了參觀者，參觀者總是抱著花最

少的時間參觀最多的公園的心態(tài)，由此可推測作者是在建議參觀者在參

觀公園時不應(yīng)流于表面。故選A。

【答案與解析】

30．D文章中第二句提到“AtthetimeofthediscoveryoftheNewWorld,

theexplorersfoundababeloftongues.”緊接著第三句提到在北美和南美發(fā)

現(xiàn)的語言更多，大約有2200種語言。由此可知，新大陸剛被發(fā)現(xiàn)時，當

地有許多種的語言。故選D。

31．D文章中間部分提到“Asecondmisconceptionwasthatalanguagehad

tobewrittentorankasafull-fledgedlanguage.”早期學者的一個錯誤觀念

是語言必須有其書寫形式才稱得上是成熟的語言。對應(yīng)選項D。選項

A、B、C反映的都是真實存在的事實，并非學者的錯誤觀念。故選D。

32．B定位至文章中最后一句：“InNorthAmerica,atrulywritten

languagedevelopedonlyinMexico,yetmostIndiangroupswereableto

communicatearichunwrittentraditionofpoetry,oratory,anddrama.”A項錯

在主題范圍縮小至MexicanIndians，應(yīng)為mostIndians，故B正確。C錯在

writtenlanguage，應(yīng)為unwrittenlanguage。D錯在全盤否定，Mexican

Indians發(fā)展了書面語。故選B。

A.resorttotheproductionmodeofourancestors

B.offerhigherwagestotheworkersandemployees

C.enablemantofullydevelophispotentialities

D.takethefundamentalrealitiesforgranted

【答案與解析】

33．D定位至文章的第一段第一句，作者緊接著補充“yetallthisoiling

doesnotalterthefactthatmanhasbecomepowerless,thatheisboredwith

it”，隨后又把人比喻為“economicpuppets”（經(jīng)濟傀儡），根據(jù)這些關(guān)鍵

詞可知把人比喻成機器中的齒輪是暗示人受社會的牽引，失去了主動

性。故選D。

34．B文章第二段第一句解釋了員工焦慮的兩大原因，一是失業(yè)的擔

憂，二是沒有在工作中獲得滿足感和挖掘出樂趣。選項A對應(yīng)第一個原

因，選項B對應(yīng)第二個原因。原文采用的是“notonly…butalso…”結(jié)構(gòu)，

強調(diào)的是后半部分。故選第二個原因B。

35．D文章第三段開頭提到“Thosehigheruponthesocialladderarenoless

anxious.”，由此可知處于社會底層和高層的人都十分焦慮，故排除A、

B。第三段最后一句提到不斷的競爭是不快樂的根源，故排除C。故選

D。

36．C文章最后一段倒數(shù)第二句提到“Isuggesttransformingoursocial

systemform…intoahumanistindustrialisminwhichmanandfull

developmentofhispotentialities”,由此可知作者的建議是社會制度應(yīng)朝著

開發(fā)人的工作潛能方面發(fā)展。故選C。

63．Readersarejustifiedinthinkingthatthemostimportantaspectofthe

newsreportedinthenewspaperisthatitshouldbe_____.

A.explainedindetail

B.editedproperly

C.objectivelyreported

D.impartial

【答案與解析】

60．B文章開頭以新聞越發(fā)復雜的現(xiàn)狀開始，隨后就是否為新聞事實進

行解釋引出兩方對立的觀點。然后描述了新聞中甄選事實依據(jù)的三大標

準，分析呈現(xiàn)事實和解釋事實的主客觀性。由此可知，本文主要還是圍

繞“解釋新聞”這一點展開討論的。故選B。

61．B文章第五段開頭提到“Thusintheshowofaso-called“factual”of

“objective”story,atleastthreejudgmentsareinvolved.”，對應(yīng)選項A。B文

章未提及作者的態(tài)度。C屬于斷章取義，定位至最后一段可知這僅是作

者的一個假設(shè)。D屬于夸大說辭，最后一段提到editors有除開解釋之外

的其他方式表達觀點，但沒有提到控制reporters。故選A。

62．B文章第四段中間部分提到“thisisanimportantdecisionbecause

manyreadersdonotproceedbeyondthefirstparagraph”，由此可知原因是

多數(shù)讀者只讀第一段，故選B。

63．A文章主要是講述解釋新聞，A項最符合題意。B項排版問題文章未

做重點講，C、D項意思相同，故選A。

【參考譯文】

在我們的人生早期，我們的父母給予我們無條件的關(guān)心和照顧，他們教

會我們什么是對與錯，什么是好與壞。然而，我們總認為這是理所當然

的。只有當我們結(jié)婚并有了孩子之后，一個人才會懂得并關(guān)注別人的感

受。孩子讓人變得有責任感，變得成熟，并幫助我們更好地理解生活。

【參考譯文】

物質(zhì)上的快樂往往是短暫的，然而給別人帶來歡樂而帶來的快樂，那種

滿足是無與倫比的。內(nèi)心的平靜與快樂密切相關(guān)。沒有寧靜，內(nèi)心無法

幸福。悲傷的時候，我們往往能夠體會到快樂的真諦。悲傷基本上是由

于愛人的離去，失敗和絕望而產(chǎn)生的。但這樣的事情總是短暫的，終究

會過去的。

【參考譯文】

希望是人生活動力之源。父母總是希望孩子做得好。希望使我們擁有夢

想，希望使我們變得有耐心。生命教育我們即使在最黑暗的時刻也不要

絕望，因為黑暗過后終將是黎明。我們惟有充滿希望繼續(xù)前行。

生命教導我們不要后悔昨天。因為昨天已經(jīng)過去并且我們無法控制。明

天是未知的，因為它有可能是光明的，也有可能是黑暗的。所以唯一的

選擇就是今天好好工作，這樣我們才可以享受更好的明天。

SectionB(FromChineseintoEnglish;15%)

從我居室的窗口望出去，可以看到一株高高的芙蓉樹。在那煙樹參差的

春日里花紅點點，煞是迷人。它牽動我的靈感，撩撥我的文思，久而久

之，我竟視這位隔窗而立的“鄰居”為知己了。

可是，有一個早晨，我推窗而望，驀然發(fā)現(xiàn)昨夜的一場風雨已將它剝蝕

得面目全非。立時，一種“繁花落盡”的悲涼掠過了我的心頭！我不由感

慨系之：在人生道路上磕磕絆絆，幾經(jīng)周折，幾度滄桑，又一次次地失

落了許多至愛的朋友，生命不正如同這隨風而逝的繁花么？！

這件事過了些時日，也就漸漸地淡忘了。一次，我下鄉(xiāng)歸來，感覺到室

內(nèi)空氣有些沉悶，就不經(jīng)意地打開了窗戶，頓覺眼前一亮：一樹火紅的

三角梅映入眼簾，它在夕陽的背景下定格。意外的驚喜使我?guī)缀醪荒茏?/p>

制，我詫異，當初在落英的背后，為什么竟沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)這萌動著的不屈的

生命呢？

是的，芙蓉的最后一葉花瓣凋落了，人們對它的嘉許也遺忘在往昔的記

憶里，可是三角梅卻成長了，那火焰般燦爛耀眼的紅色向人們昭示著生

命的更迭與延續(xù)。誰能說，失去與獲得不是一曲交響樂呢？
