表達出的共同意思為enjoyment，所以D項符合題意。二、選詞填空(本題共20題，每題1.0分，共20分。)31、It’spainfulforthosebusinessesthatrelyon________partsorfarmersandotherswhorelyonexportingtotherestofworld．A、importingB、exportedC、importedD、exporting標準答案：A知識點解析：考查非謂語動訓(xùn)及動詞辨析。句意：這對那些需要依賴進口零部件或農(nóng)民的企業(yè)和其他依賴出口的企業(yè)來說是十分痛苦的。relyondoingsth．“依賴于做某事”(指主語自己去做)；relyonsb．todosth．“指望某人做什么”(指依賴別人去做)。relyon后沒有跟過去分詞的用法，故排除B、C。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，前半部分中的“businessesthatrelyon…parts”與后半部分中的“otherswhorelyonexportingtotherestofworld”之間相互對應(yīng)，所以答案應(yīng)與后半部分的export“輸出，出口”相對應(yīng)；import“輸入，進口”。故A項importing正確。32、Cultural________meansthatdifferentcivilizationscangetmoreopportunitiesandpathsfordevelopment．A、transitionB、translationC、transmissionD、transaction標準答案：C知識點解析：考查名詞辨析。句意：文化傳播意味著不同文明可以獲得更多的發(fā)展機遇和途徑。transition“轉(zhuǎn)變，過渡”；translation“翻譯，譯文”；transactiou“交易，事務(wù)”。根據(jù)常識可知，文化傳播使不同文叫可以獲得更多的發(fā)展機遇。culturaltransmission為固定搭配，指“文化傳播”，故本題選C。33、This________isanappropriaterecognitionandappreciationofherdedicationtothecompany．A、rewordB、awardC、prizeD、remuneration標準答案：B知識點解析：句意：這個獎勵是對她為公司所做貢獻的適當肯定和贊賞。reword“改寫，重說”；award“獎勵，獎品”，指一種官方的獎勵行為，強調(diào)榮譽；prize“獎品，戰(zhàn)利品”，多指住各類競賽、競爭或抽彩中所贏得的獎品；remuneration“報酬，酬勞”，常指正常工資酬勞。這里是指通過為公司做貢獻得到的獎賞性質(zhì)的獎勵，不是普通薪酬，也不是通過比賽獲得的獎品，A、C、D三項皆與文意不符，故本題選B。34、Motherdidn’tblamehimforthescore，never________mentionedit．A、somuchasB、asC、ratherthanD、than標準答案：A知識點解析：考查同定搭配。句意：母親并沒有因為分數(shù)而責備他，甚至都未提及。neversomuchas為固定搭配，指“甚至不……”。后半句與前半句中“母親并沒有因為分數(shù)而責備他”為遞進關(guān)系．所以本題選A。as“因為，依照，如同”，ratherthan“而不是，寧可……也不愿”，than“比，與其……”，皆不符合句意，故排除。35、Moststrawberries________theconsumers，throughdirectsales，thesupermarketoranotherkindofretailtrade．A、keepupwithB、endupwithC、catchupwithD、putupwith標準答案：B知識點解析：考查動詞短語辨析。句意：大多數(shù)草莓是通過直銷、超市或其他形式的零售貿(mào)易最終到達消費者手中的。keepupwith“趕上，和……保持聯(lián)系”；endupwith“以……而結(jié)束”；eatchupwith“趕上，追上，逮捕”；putupwith“忍受，容忍”。草莓通過不同的銷售方式，最終到達消費者手中，A、C、D三項均與題意不符。故答案為B。36、It’stooriskytogrowsoybeans，andtheincomeisless________thangrowingcorn．Inotherwords，youdon’tlosemoneygrowingcorn．Soybeanyieldsaretoolow．A、productiveB、commonC、rationalD、stable標準答案：D知識點解析：考查形容詞辨析。句意：種植大豆風險太高，收入也不如種植玉米穩(wěn)定。換句話說。你種植玉米不會虧本。大豆產(chǎn)量太低。productive“多產(chǎn)的，富有成效的”；common“共同的，普通的”；rational“合理的，理性的”；stable“穩(wěn)定的，牢同的”。根據(jù)語境可知，題干是在講述種植大豆的弊端，即風險高，收入不________，產(chǎn)量低。四個選項中，能與income搭配且符合語境的只有D項。故本題選D。37、Scientistssayclimatechangeandhumanactivityhaveincreasinglyledtothemeltingof________piecesofAntarcticice．A、surplusB、quantitativeC、formidableD、massive標準答案：D知識點解析：考查形容詞辨析。句意：科學家們說氣候變化及人類活動逐漸導(dǎo)致南極冰川大量融化。surplus作形容詞表示“剩余的，過剩的”，作名詞常表示“順差，盈余”，tradesurplus“貿(mào)易順差”。其反義詞為deficit“赤字，逆差”；quantitative“定量的，數(shù)量的”，如quantitativeanalysis／research“定量分析／研究”；formidable“強大的，可怕的，艱難的”massive“大量的”。結(jié)合語境，此處強調(diào)的是數(shù)量之多，故D項符合句意，38、Wenormally________exchangesforallpurchases，butwehavenomoreofthisdesigninstock.A、areofferingB、areofferedC、offerD、haveoffered標準答案：C知識點解析：考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。句意：通常情況下，我們對所有已售商品提供換貨服務(wù)，但是這種款式我們沒有存貨了。主語we和offer之間為主動關(guān)系，故排除B項；根據(jù)連接詞but可知這里為并列句，逗號前后兩個句子的謂語動詞時態(tài)應(yīng)是一致的，由have可判斷后一句的時態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時，所以空格處的時態(tài)也應(yīng)是一般現(xiàn)在時。故本題選C。39、Thedecisionto________thecompanywasn’taneasyonetomake，buteveryoneagreedthattherewasnootheroptionbuttoceasetrading.A、displayB、disintegrateC、dissolveD、distribute標準答案：C知識點解析：考查動詞辨析。句意：解散公司并不是一個簡單的決定，但是每個人都認為除了停止交易沒有其他的選擇。display“顯示，展示”；disintegrate“瓦解，解體”；dissolve“解散(組織或機構(gòu))，終止(商業(yè)協(xié)議)”；distribute“分發(fā)，分配”。本題中，dissolvecompany意為“解散公司”，對應(yīng)后面的ceasetrading。故本題選C。40、Culturemaydomorethanmirrorhistory，________itscitizen’sthinkingandlanguage.A、eveninfluencingB、mayeveninfluenceC、itmayeveninfluenceD、thatitmayeveninfluence標準答案：A知識點解析：考查非謂語動詞。句意：文化不僅能反映歷史，甚至還會影響人們的思維和語言。前半句成分完整，后半句要么是有連詞相連的主句，要么是非限定性定語從句，要么是非謂語動詞作狀語。B項有謂語動詞influence，但是與前半句之間缺少連詞，故排除；C項有主語it，也與前半句之間缺少連詞，故排除；D項是從句，但是分析題干可知，這個從句放在此處不合適，因為它既不是定語也不是賓語從句，而that不能引導(dǎo)非限定性定語從句，故排除。最后看A項，influence與其邏輯主語culture之間是主動關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在分詞形式，空格及之后成分作狀語，故本題選A。41、Thecompanysaysitwillnolongerdesignorlaunchartificialintelligence(AI)forweaponsorothertechnologieswhosemainpurposeistocause________topeople.A、acheB、harmC、painD、injury標準答案：B知識點解析：考查名詞辨析。句意：該公司表示將不再設(shè)計或推出用于武器或其他技術(shù)的人工智能，因為這些武器或技術(shù)的主要目的是傷害人類。ache和pain都有“疼，疼痛”的意思，其區(qū)別在于ache指人體某一器官較持久的疼痛，常常是隱痛；pain則泛指疼痛，一時的痛；harm和injury都有“傷害，損害”的意思，其區(qū)別是harm多指帶來悲痛、產(chǎn)生惡果的傷害，用于肉體或精神的傷害均可；injury更強調(diào)在事故中受傷，含有受傷害部分至少暫時喪失功能的意味。根據(jù)句意可知，B項最符合語境。故本題選B。42、Themuseumcontainsseveral________worksofRenaissanceart，includingtwopaintingsbyRaphael，onebyDurer，onebyTitian，andanearlysketchbyTintoretto.A、
