1.Thispassageismostprobablytakenfrom.

A.amedicalmagazine

B.alegaldocument

C.theFederalLaws

D.apolicereport

答案:D［解析］從文章整體看，是在講系安全帶的重要性、司機(jī)的職

責(zé)和不佩戴安全帶的懲罰措施。全文的語言風(fēng)格比較隨意，語言也比

較簡單，所以不可能選自alegaldocument（法律文件）或the

FederalLaws（聯(lián)邦政府的法律）;另外，文章顯然與醫(yī)學(xué)沒有太大的

關(guān)聯(lián)，不是來自于amedicalmagazine（醫(yī)學(xué)雜志）。D項(xiàng)為正確答

案，意為"警局報(bào)導(dǎo)"，這是一種不太正式的類似于新聞報(bào)道的文體,

因?yàn)槲恼轮刑岬搅伺宕靼踩珟У闹匾?，也提到了交通事故、司機(jī)的

職責(zé)和懲戒措施，所以選D。

2.Wearingaseatbeltinavehicle.

A.reducesroadaccidentsbymorethanhalf

B.savesliveswhileataspeedupto30milesperhour

C.reducesthedeathrateintrafficaccidents

D.savesmorethan15,000liveseachyear

［大學(xué)英語考試復(fù)習(xí)資料］專升本英語分類模擬67

答案:C［解析］答案在第一段的最后一句，”佩戴安全帶可以拯救人們

的生命；它可以將你嚴(yán)重受傷或者死亡的幾率減低一半以上C項(xiàng)

的含義是"減低交通事故中的死亡幾率"，符合此句；A的含義是

"減少路面事故數(shù)量一半以上"，佩戴安全帶顯然不能直接起這個(gè)作

用；B的含義是"在行駛時(shí)速達(dá)到每小時(shí)30英里時(shí)可以救命"；D

項(xiàng)的含義是"每年拯救多于15,000人的生命"在文中找不到根據(jù)。

3.Itisthedriver'sresponsibilityto.

A.makethefrontseatpassengerwearaseatbelt

B.makethefrontseatchildrenunder14wearaseatbelt

C.stopchildrenridinginthefrontseat

D.wearaseatbelteachtimehedrives

答案:B［解析］答案在第二段最后一句。"但司機(jī)將有責(zé)任保證14歲

以下的兒童不能坐在前座，除非他們佩戴安全帶，"因此選B"讓前

座的14歲以下的兒童配戴安全帶"。C意為"不讓兒童坐在前座"，

是以偏概全的。

4.Accordingtothepassage,who,ridinginthefront,does

nothavetowearaseatbelt?

A.Someonewhoisbackingintoaparkingspace.

B.Someonewhoispickingupthechildrenfromthelocal

school.

C.Someonewhoisdeliveringinvitationletters.

D.Someonewhoisunder14.

［大學(xué)英語考試復(fù)習(xí)資料］專升本英語分類模擬67

答案:A［解析］答案在第三段的第一句，"然而，倒車的時(shí)候你無需佩

戴安全帶"。與A項(xiàng)"倒車入停車位"相符;C項(xiàng)的"遞送請(qǐng)柬"表

面上看來跟第三段第一句中的makingalocaldeliveryor

collectionusingspecialvehicle有關(guān)，但是我們從文中無法判斷這

種可以造成特例的localdelivery到底是不是deliveringinvitation

這種無法從文中獲取到足夠肯定證據(jù)的選項(xiàng)是不能夠選的。

letters0

這是細(xì)節(jié)題做題的基本原則，即一定要在文中找到基本對(duì)應(yīng)的句子段

落。

5.Forsomepeople,itmaybebetter.

A.towearaseatbeltforhealthreasons

B.nottowearaseatbeltforhealthreasons

C.togetavalidmedicalcertificatebeforewearingaseatbelt

D.topayafineratherthanwearaseatbelt

答案:B［解析］答案在第三段的第一句話，"如果你有有效的醫(yī)療證明,

你也有理由不佩戴安全帶"。B項(xiàng)的意思是"為了健康原因不帶安全

帶"，與文意相符；A項(xiàng)"為了健康原因佩帶安全帶"，C項(xiàng)"獲取

有效醫(yī)療證明方可佩戴安全帶"都與原文意思不符。

6.TheancientChinesebelievedthattheearth.

A.wasachariot

B.slopedtothenorthwest

C.wassupportedbycolumns

D.hadninelayers

答案:A［解析］第一段第一句...theearthwasachariot,...可知正確答

案選A。

7.TotheChinesepeople,thesunrepresented.

A.theprimarygod

B.evil

C.goodness,beautyandtruth

D.combat

答案:C［解析］由文中第二段TotheChinesepeople,thesunwas

theincarnationofgoodness,beauty,andtruth可知正確答案為

C。本題的關(guān)鍵是了解incarnation的意思，意為"化身，具體化"。

8.Thesun'sdisappearanceswerethoughttobecausedby

A.fightswithcocks

B.fightswithdragons

C.ascientificphenomenon

D.eclipse

［大學(xué)英語考試復(fù)習(xí)資料］專升本英語分類模擬67

答案:B［解析］由文章第二段倒數(shù)第二句"Hisbattleswiththe

dragons,...accountedfor..."可知正確答案為B。做題的關(guān)鍵在于正

確理解accountfor的意思,意為"是……的原因"。

9.AncientChineseastronomycouldbeaccuratelydescribed

as.

A.entirelyreligiousinnature

B.basedonlegendaryfigures

C.advancedinsomeareas

D.completelyunsuccessful

答案：A［解析］文中第三段第一句Alongwiththese

unsophisticatedbeliefsaboutthesun,theChineseevolveda

scienceofastronomybaseduponobservation—though

essentiallyreligious一whichenabledthemtopredicteclipses

可知選其中兩個(gè)

ofthesunandthemovementsofthestarsAo

破折號(hào)中間的essentiallyreligious（本質(zhì)上有宗教性質(zhì)）是解題的關(guān)

鍵。

10.Impliedbutnotstated:.

A.ThesunwasworshipedbyalltheChinesepeople

B.Thesunwasthoughtofasacock

C.Chinesereligionandastronomywerecloselyinterrelated

D.SundialswerefirstusedbytheChinese

［大學(xué)英語考試復(fù)習(xí)資料］專升本英語分類模擬67

文中都能找到，故選。另外，根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容也可判斷出應(yīng)選

discouragedfrombecomingactorsisthat.

A.actorsareveryunusualpeople

B.thecourseatthedramaschoollaststoolong

C.actingisveryhardwork

D.therearealreadytoomanyactors

答案:D［解析］文章第一句話就談到了這一點(diǎn)：Actingissuchan

over-crowdedprofession…其中的一個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞組是over-crowded

profession（擁擠不堪的職業(yè)），即從事演員這個(gè)職業(yè)的人太多了。故

選D。

［大學(xué)英語考試復(fù)習(xí)資料］專升本英語分類模擬67

12.Anassistantstagemanager'sjobisdifficultbecausehe

hasto.

A.doallkindsofstagework

B.workforlonghours

C.waitforabetteropportunity

答案:A［解析］根據(jù)文中第一段Thismeansdoingeverythingthat

thereistodointhetheatre:paintingscenery,lookingafterthe

furniture,takingcareoftheclothes,andevenactinginvery

smallparts.可知A正確。

13."Youngactorswiththestageintheirbloodarehappy"

means.

A.theydon'tcareiftheirjobishard

B.theylikethestagenaturally

C.theyarebornhappy

D.theyareeasilysatisfied

答案:B［解析］根據(jù)字面意思intheirblood"在他們的血液中"可知

本句指的是"天生喜歡舞臺(tái)的演員"。可知B正確。

14.ConniePrattthoughtthefilmproducerwasjoking,for

A.didn'tknowwhothemanwas

B.neverwantedtobecomeanactress

［大學(xué)英語考試復(fù)習(xí)資料］專升本英語分類模擬67

C.couldn'tbelievewhatthemansaid

D.hadnointerestinart

答案:C［解析］根據(jù)文中第二段ConniePratt,forexample,wasjust

anordinarygirlworkinginabicyclefactory.和Hetoldthe

drivertostop,andhegotouttospeaktothegirl.Heaskedher

ifshewouldliketogotothefilmcompanytodoatest,andat

firstshethoughthewasjoking.可知ConniePratt起初只是一名

工人，一次偶然的機(jī)會(huì)被一名導(dǎo)演發(fā)現(xiàn)，并邀請(qǐng)她演電影。這對(duì)于

ConniePratt來說很意外，因此她認(rèn)為那個(gè)男的在開玩笑，她不能

相信他的話。故C正確。

15.Thephrase"onceinabluemoon"inthelastsentence

means.

A.immediately

B.unexpectedly

C.slowly

D.rarely

答案:D［解析］本題考查習(xí)語onceinabluemoon意為"千載難逢

地"，與onceforalong同義，另外根據(jù)上下文也可推斷出是"很

少見”的意思，故選D。

這在文中并未直接提及，而是通過全文總結(jié)出來的，故A正確。

答案:A［解析］第一段講到了父母急切盼望孩子們掌握新技能的這種

心情所帶來的各種負(fù)面影響，B、C、D三項(xiàng)均是負(fù)面影響的內(nèi)容，

答案:C［解析］根據(jù)第一段中所提到的父母太急于盼望孩子們掌握新

技能對(duì)孩子們產(chǎn)生的不良影響可以得出一個(gè)結(jié)論：父母應(yīng)該在強(qiáng)迫孩

子和給予他們自由之間保持平衡。故選C。
