1、[Cl]

標準答案：D

知識點解析：介詞of提示此處需填入名詞?？崭袼诰涑薪由衔脑掝}繼續(xù)講離婚

的事例，據(jù)此推斷空格填入的名詞應與上文的con即se意思相近，即婚姻的解體,

故選dissolution"解散"?

2、[C2]

標準答案：E

知識點解析：come可作系動詞或動詞，因此空格處可能是形容詞或副詞。根據(jù)

before引導的從句主語ihehoneymoonbills可推知填入的詞應說明蜜月賬單怎樣，

due“應支付的，到期的“符合句意，指賬單到期。

3、[C3]

標準答案：I

知識點解析：此處需填不及物動詞第三人稱單數(shù)形式，作anewlywed的謂語動

詞。根據(jù)when從句所講的“當配偶遇到個人問題時”，可推測這里是講夫妻倆在對

方遇到問題時的行為表現(xiàn)。reacis意為“做出反應”，符合上下文語義和句法要求。

4、[C4]

標準答案：J

知識點解析：空格位于be動詞和形容詞之間，應為副詞修飾形容詞。inept“笨拙

的“含有消極含義，因此選regretfully“遺憾地”，與while分句中的providing

emotionalsupport形成對照。

5、[C5]

標準答案：L

知識點解析：此處需填不及物動詞的過去分詞形式。根據(jù)后面所說的hangingbya

thread"岌岌可?！??？芍撛~表消極意義，split“分開”符合句意。

6、[C6]

標準答案：N

知識點解析：此處需填入名詞、形容詞或動詞的分詞作表語。句中Ihan提示，這

43對夫妻與那14對互相扶持能力差的夫妻情況相反，因此thriving符合句意。

7、[C7]

標準答案：G

知識點解析：空格前的名詞所有格提示此處應填入名詞。后面的maritaldiscord“婚

姻不和諧'’提示此處的名詞含消極含義，inability符合句意。

8、[C8]

標準答案：0

知識點解析：此處需要填入副詞，修飾動詞divorce。這里講夫妻沒有互相扶持導

致的兩個結果：一是婚姻不和諧，二是離婚，后者是前者的深化，故選

ultimately“最終”,突出遞進關系。

9、[C9]

標準答案：M

知識點解析：此處需填入及物動詞原形，作謂語。根據(jù)賓語chance,可知答案為

standostandachance（ofdoingsth,）意為“有機會/希望（做某事）

10、[C10]

標準答案：C

知識點解析：此處需填入名詞作gofor的賓語?？甄蠛笃普厶柕膬热荨皩W習這些技

能”提示，夫妻婚前應該參加了婚姻方面的一些活動才可能學習到技能，名詞庫中

的counseling“咨詢服務”符合語境。

11>Ohtheceremony,thenameiswhisperedtothebabybeforeitispubliclyannounced.

標準答案：1

知識點解析：典禮上，先將名字低聲告訴嬰兒，然后再向眾人宣布。根據(jù)

whisperedtothebaby和announced定位至ljI段。該段說的是非洲一些地區(qū)給孩子起

名的情況。本題句子表述與該段末句相符，句中before轉述原文firstby…then

by…兩個動作的先后順序。

12、TVhasplayedanimportantroleincreatingnewandfashionablenames.

標準答案：O

知識點解析：在創(chuàng)造新潮名字上，電視起了很大作用。根據(jù)TV定位到。段。首句

提到，從20世紀50年代起，電視成了引導名字的流行時尚最有效的媒介，本題句

子是對原文的同文轉述，題目中的playedanimportantrole對應原文的themost

effectivemedium

13、Insomenations,onemaybenamedafteranimportanteventthathappensathis

birth.

標準答案：K

知識點解析：在一些國家，一個人可能會以自己出生時發(fā)生的一個重要事件命名。

根據(jù)event和athisbirth定位到K段第2句。本題句子的maybenamedafter對應原

文的maybecomethechild'sname。

14、Theestablishedstereotypesaboutnamesmayhaveanimpactonteacherswhenthey

givegradestostudents'papers.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：當老師在給學生論文評分時，名字形成的刻板印象可能會對老師產(chǎn)生

一定的影響。根據(jù)stereotypes,teachers和givegrades定位到C段。該段說，很多

證據(jù)顯示當人們聽到一個特別的名字時，他們會對取了那個名字的人形成一種強烈

的刻板印象。還舉例說明：研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，老師改論文的時候，即使論文質量一樣，他

給叫邁克爾的學生的分數(shù)往往會高于叫休伯特的。本題句子是對末句的同義轉述。

15、Apopularnamemaybemoreadvantageousthananunusualonewhenoneintends

toapplyforaposition.

標準答案：G

知識點解析：當想要申請某個職位的時候，一個受歡迎的名字可能比少見的名字更

有優(yōu)勢。根據(jù)advantageous和applyforaposition定位到G段。文中提到，在很多

生活情境中，例如找工作或者考大學，名字本身確實能塑造出一個正面形象，并舉

例指出apopularname可能會是一種優(yōu)勢(anadvantage),本題句子的intendsto

applyforaposition對應原文的submittingajobapplicationc

16、Insomeculture,parentsusuallyavoidgivingtheirchildrenanamesharedbya

livingperson.

標準答案：L

知識點解析：在某些文化中，父母通常避免給孩子起一個與其他活著的人相同的名

字。根據(jù)alivingperson定位至UL段。末句提到，傳統(tǒng)上日爾夏猶太人的小孩不會

取活著的人的名字，以防死神將他們錯當成同名的大人帶走。本題句子是對原文的

同義轉述。

17、Parentstakenamesfromthemediamainlybecausesuchnamesareconsidered

differentbutnottoodifferent.

標準答案：P

知識點解析：家長使用出現(xiàn)在媒體上的名字，主要是因為這樣的名字被認為與眾不

同但又不是大離格。根據(jù)parentstakenamesfromthemedia和differentbutnottoo

different定位到P段。該段討論了家長喜歡使用出現(xiàn)在媒體上的名字的原因：大多

數(shù)父母都不想給孩子取一個普通的名字，但同時，他們又想選一個“合適”的名字。

他們總是留心著那些“與眾不同但又不是太離格”的名字。本題句子概括了原文意

思。

18、Duetoethnicimmigration,thevarietyofnamesintheUSincreases.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：由于各個種族移民到美國，美國人的名字呈多樣化發(fā)展。根據(jù)the

varietyofnames,increases和ethnic定位到A段。最后兩句提到，隨著越來越多的

人移民到美國，并且這些人喜歡用流行的或帶有文化傳統(tǒng)的名字，這使美國人的名

字變得更為多樣化。本題句子的ethnicimmigration對應原文的peoplemovetothe

UnitedStates?

19、Researchshowsthatpeoplewithunusualfirstnamestendtogainanadvantageover

thosewithcommonones.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：研究顯示，那些名字不常見的人往往比那些名字普通的人更有優(yōu)勢。

根據(jù)unusualfirstnames.anadvantage和common定位到D段，首句提到，對那些

名字普通和那些名字少見的現(xiàn)實生活中的人進行的對比研究經(jīng)常顯示后者有優(yōu)勢。

本題句子與該句表述一致。

20>MoregirlswerenamedafterahuiTicaneeventhoughitmightremindpeopleofa

hugenaturaldisaster.

標準答案：Q

知識點解析：有更多的女孩以颶風的名字命名，盡管它可能使人們想起一場很大的

自然災害。根據(jù)hurricane和ahugenaturaldisaster定位到Q段。該段舉例卡米利颶

風和卡特里娜颶風，說明以颶風命名的女孩數(shù)量增加了，盡管這讓人聯(lián)想到自然災

害。本題句子的eventhough與原文的inspiteof對應，remindpeopleof對應

associationwith。

21、Whatdowemostlikelywantduringalongvacation,accordingtotheauthor?

A、Toextendthevacationaslongaspossible.

BNTOgainabalancebetweenworkandplay.

C、Togobacktoworkassoonaspossible.

D、Torelaxcompletely,freefromworry.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：第2段最后三句表明作者認為工作和玩樂應該并行，不能光工作，也

不能光玩樂，由此可見，選項B為本題答案。其他選項與作者觀點相反，因此都

不正確。

22、Itisindicatedinthepassagethatmostpeopledisliketheirjobsbecause.

A^goingtoworkiswastingtheirtime

theycan'tfeelfulfilledintheirjobs

C、theyareconfinedtothejobstightly

D、payseldomcorrespondswithwork

標準答案：C

知識點解析：原文在首段和第3段分別提到人們不喜歡他們的工作的兩個原因，其

中第3段提到的第2個原因是moreprevalentreason,正是題干所問。由此可見，

正確選項應與第2個原因同義，選項C是它的近義替換，為本題答案。選項A是

第1個原因，但不符合題干的要求；選項B和D在原文中均未提及。

23、Whenoneconsiderschangingjob,thebiggestdifficultyis.

A、leavingacompanyandagoodboss

B、reducingthefamilyburden

C^givingupastableincome

D、drawingupabetterplanforthefuture

標準答案：C

知識點解析：第3段倒數(shù)第2句表明最大的阻礙是steadypaycheck,即放棄穩(wěn)定的

收人，而由上一句的jumpingship可知此處說的是有關換工作的阻礙囚索，正符題

干要求，因此本題答案為選項C。其他三個選項均未提及，與“最大的”困難無關。

24>Theauthorsuggeststhat,byhavinga"cyanidecapsule"atwork,onewill.

A、findasatisfactoryjobsoon

B、beasbraveastheheroinspymovies

C>bemoretolerantwiththepresentjob

D、havethecouragetogiveuptheunbearablejob

標準答案：C

知識點解析：作者在第4段首句首先提到“cyanidecapsule”，然后在第2、3句對此

做出了解釋，第4句對cyanidecapsule的作用做了總結，選項C是對第4句中的

holdonalittlelonger的近義改寫，因此為本題答案。

25、Youwillchangeyourattitudetowardsyourjobwhen.

A、youareprovidedwiththechancetochoose

B、youareresponsibleforyourpresentjob

C^yougetreadyyourup-to-dateresume

D、yougetwhatyouneedfromyourjob

標準答案：A

知識點解析：第5段倒數(shù)第2句表明beinginthisposition就能改變一個人的態(tài)度，

而lhisposi【ion指的是上文提到的“為自己提供一種選擇”，這樣，在無法忍受的時

候還可以有另一個選擇，由此可見，選項A為本題答案。

K)carclcssL)uncxpcctcdlyM)dctcrmincN)fortunatclyO)instructions

1、[Cl]

標準答案：N

知識點解析：此處需要一個副詞，評說傷勢不重。詞庫中fortunately”所幸的是”符

合句意。

2、[C2]

標準答案：K

知識點解析：填入此處的詞與negligent為并列關系，應為形容詞或分詞。梅?沃德

認為超市公司有疏忽之處，沒有保持地面干凈?？梢?，careless符合語義要求。

3、[C3]

標準答案：H

知識點解析：根據(jù)空格前的denied(否認)，可知此處需填入動詞過去式。后面的

“有一套合理的體系”說明這是公司在自我辯護，由比確定答案為maintained”堅持

認為

4、[C4]

標準答案：O

知識點解析：此處應為名詞，與前面的apropersystem并列，是公司為自己辯護的

理由。結合后面的“保持地面整潔”選擇詞庫中的insiruclions,表示“保持地面整潔

的指示

5、[C5]

標準答案：I

知識點解析：此處應填入形容詞或分詞，且能與介詞to搭配。沃德太太把公司告

上了法庭是因為她覺得有理由得到賠償，填入的詞應表,、有權利"、,、有理由”之類的

意思,enliUed符合條件，beentitledtosth.意為“有...的權利”。

6、[C6]

標準答案：D

知識點解析：不定冠詞a提示此處需填入名詞單數(shù)形式，而且能與makeoul形成

搭配。超市公司認為：只有證明冰激凌如何丟在地上、落在地上多久后才發(fā)生事

故，沃德太太才有理由起訴。case符合語意，makeoutacase意為“找到充分的理

由”。

7、[C7]

標準答案：A

知識點解析：此處應填入修飾care的定語，可為形容詞、名詞或分詞。法官認為

公司如果處理得當，這類事件就不會發(fā)生。詞庫中reasonable符合句意。

8、[C8]

標準答案：C

知識點解析：此處應填名詞作provide的賓語。句中he指上文提到的thejudge,法

官一般需要當事人提供“證據(jù)“，故用evidenceo

9、[C9J

標準答案：J

知識點解析：didnot提示此處應填入動詞原形，且該詞能與后面的from搭配。這

里法官指出超市公司需提供證據(jù)證明事故不是由他們造成的，即提及了造成事故的

原因，arisefrom"由...引起”強調起因，符合語境。derive雖能與from搭配,但

derivefrom”從...起源''強調起源，不符合句意。

10、[C10]

標準答案：B

知識點解析：空格位于would和be之間，應為副詞。上文提到，法官認為得由公

司提供證據(jù)，再結合本句后面的belterposition,可知公司提供證據(jù)肯定比消費者要

容易，obviously符合句意。
