1、Thebottom-feedingcardsareissuedtopeoplewho.

A^hasalowincome

expectsalowinterestrate

C、hasabadreputationinrepayment

D、isthoughtlesswhenusingcreditcards

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C「

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第2段第1句破折號(hào)后的damagedcredit意為“信用受損”，持信用卡

的人因?yàn)椴荒芗皶r(shí)還款就會(huì)導(dǎo)致信用度下降，即出magedcredit,由此可見(jiàn)，C是

對(duì)damagedcredit正確的解釋，為本題答案。

2、Whatdoestheauthorthinkaboutthe"multiplecards"practiceofCapOne?

A、Thebankmayhavemorebaddebts.

B、Thebankmaybecomemorepopular.

C、Borrowersmayhavetheircreditlimitsincreased.

D^Borrowersmayfallintoamultiple-penaltytrap.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D'

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第3段前三句表明C沖One開(kāi)卡的費(fèi)用很優(yōu)惠，但是一旦不能按期還

款，受到的處罰會(huì)很重。再看本段最后兩句，CapOne向消費(fèi)達(dá)到其信用額度的人

發(fā)多張卡，這些人本身信用額度低，但擁有了多張卡后更容易超支了，超支后還款

的能力又不強(qiáng)，這時(shí)CapOne就可以對(duì)他們罰款，從中賺取費(fèi)用，由此可確定應(yīng)選

Do

3、Whatdoconsumersneverexpect,accordingtothepassage?

A、Thehigherratesnowcanaffectbalancesinthepast.

B、Lenderscanfigureoutsomanywaystoextractfees.

CNTheycanborrowfromthebankseasily.

D、Theyhavetopaybothfeesandinterest.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第5段第1句表明消費(fèi)者對(duì)于第4段亮到的銀行的做法是始料未及

的，答案要從第4段尋找。A是第4段最后一句提到的一種收取費(fèi)用的方法，為本

題答案。本題B干擾性極強(qiáng)，但從第5段第1句中的定語(yǔ)從句看，可知消費(fèi)者不

是因?yàn)榻栀J者能想出如此多的收費(fèi)方法而感到震驚，而是因?yàn)檫@些方法居然不算違

法而感到震驚。

4^Theword"deregulate'*(Line3,Para.5)canbestbereplacedby.

A、imposeruleson

B、liftthecontrolon

C、ruleagainst

D、specify

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第5段中除了第2句有deregulate這個(gè)詞外，第3句有這個(gè)詞的名詞

形式deregulation,第3句的Priortofeederegulation和第4句的Now表明現(xiàn)在的信

用卡利率與過(guò)去相比高很多，而最后一句開(kāi)頭的Msoutofcontrol表明現(xiàn)在的信用

卡利率“已經(jīng)失控”了，由此可見(jiàn)，&PriortofeederegulationH,信用卡利率是由

政府控制的，故推斷deregulate意為“解除（規(guī)定、控制廠。

5、Accordingtotheauthor,whatCitiandJPMorganChasedidshowedthattheywere

A、reflective

B、irresponsible

C、insincere

D^compromising

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：最后一段第3句表明Citi和JPMorganChase所做的都只是擺擺姿

態(tài)，并非出自真心誠(chéng)意，因此，本題應(yīng)選C。

6、AlltheU.S.stategovernmentsusedtofollowthe"21law"because.

A^itspassagewassupervisedbyReaganpersonally

B、mostcitizensbelievedthatitwasreasonable

C^theycouldn'taffordtotakethefinancialrisk

D、ittookmuchtimeandmoneytogetalawpassed

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：c

知識(shí)點(diǎn)露析：第2段第1句中的t。?！璽o…表明過(guò)去美國(guó)各州的經(jīng)濟(jì)條件太差而不

敢挑戰(zhàn)《21歲飲泗法》，換言之，他們紛紛遵從《21歲飲酒法》的原因在于，他

們不想經(jīng)濟(jì)陷入危機(jī)，因而本題應(yīng)選C。

7、WhatisMorrisChafetz^attitudetowardsthe"21law”now?

A、Hedemandsthatthelawnotbechanged.

B、Hesupportsloweringthedrinkingage.

C、Heregretsthatfewpeoplesupportthelaw.

D、Heissurprisedbythejudges'ruling.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第2段第3、4句都是支持降低合法飲酒年齡的人的觀點(diǎn)，而該段最

后一句表明MorrisChafetz對(duì)以前支持《21歲飲酒法》感到后悔，這樣看來(lái)，他最

可能認(rèn)為合法飲酒的年齡應(yīng)該降低，因此，本題應(yīng)選B。

8、InCanada,wherethedrinkingageis18,.

A^youngpeoplewanttobegindrinkingatalowerage

B、peopleareincreasinglydoubtfulaboutthe"18law"

C、fewerandfewerpeoplesupportthe"18law"

D、feweryoungpeoplediefromdrunkdriving

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第3段第2句中的similardeclines指的是因飲酒而送命的數(shù)量下降

了，D與此內(nèi)容最相近，故為本題答案。本題稍具干擾性的是B,其中的doubtful

與原文該句中的doublers在詞義上有關(guān)聯(lián)，但原文的doublers是對(duì)美國(guó)的《21歲飲

酒法》產(chǎn)生懷疑，而非對(duì)加拿大的飲酒法產(chǎn)生懷疑。

9、JohnMcCardellsuggeststhat.

A、18-year-oldsshouldlearnforalicensebeforetheycandrink

B、adrinkingschoolshouldbeopenedforhighschoolstudents

C、oneshouldgetalicensebeforetheycandrink

D、any18-year-oldsshouldbequalifiedtodrink

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第4段第1句表明JohnMcCardell支持將合法飲酒的年齡調(diào)整為18

歲，而第2句表明他認(rèn)為考取飲酒牌照后，就可合法飲酒，將這兩句話的內(nèi)容結(jié)合

起來(lái)，可以知道JohnMcCardell支持年滿18歲的人在取得飲酒牌照后可以合法飲

酒，由此可見(jiàn)，本題應(yīng)選A。

10、WhatdidFranklinRooseveltdoduringthe1933depression?

A、Heliftedthetroubleofadepression.

B、Hechangedthealcoholpolicy.

C^Hedecidedtobanalcohol.

D、Hedesiredachangeinalcoholpolicy.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：最后一段最后一句提到FranklinRoosevelt所做的事是為了說(shuō)明該段

第1句的觀點(diǎn)：美國(guó)人不是第一次試圖改變他們的alcoholpolicy,由此可見(jiàn)，

FranklinRoosevek當(dāng)政期間也改變過(guò)美國(guó)的alcoholpolicy,故B的說(shuō)法正確。A跟

原文最后一句“長(zhǎng)得”有點(diǎn)像，但原文中l(wèi)ifted的對(duì)象是prohibition（禁酒令）而非

trouble（困難）。

D、shehasbeentroubledbythememoryoftheincidentveryoften

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干定位第2段第2、3句。這兩句之間存在隱含

的因果關(guān)系，第2句是因，第3句是果。只有選項(xiàng)D在第2句提到，其他選項(xiàng)均

未提及。

12、WhatdoestheauthorwantustoknowthroughAnitaRutnam'sstory?

A、Theuniversitiesarenotresponsiblefbrtheirstudents.

Suicidesarepopularoncollegecampusandshouldbehandledproperly.

C、WhyAnitacommittedsuicideisstillamystery.

D^Universitiesshouldgetpreparedincasetheirstudentssuethem.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B-

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理判斷題。本文開(kāi)頭的例子所支持的觀點(diǎn)在第3段第1句，同時(shí)結(jié)

合suicide,此題答案為B。選項(xiàng)A、D的觀點(diǎn)有誤，選項(xiàng)C與本文的寫(xiě)作目的無(wú)

關(guān)。

13、WhatdoesAnitaaccuseherformerschoolof?

A、Ignoranceofherabnormalbehaviors.

B、Lackofsafeguardagainsthersuicidalintention.

C、Failuretogiveherproperacademicinstructions.

D^Indifferencetoherphysicaldisease.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。第2段第3句中的malpractice和第4句中的虛擬語(yǔ)氣說(shuō)

明，她認(rèn)為學(xué)校沒(méi)有對(duì)她的自殺企圖采取足夠的防范措施，故選B。選項(xiàng)A最具

干擾性，但第3句說(shuō)明學(xué)校關(guān)注過(guò)她的問(wèn)題，只是關(guān)注不夠，因此選項(xiàng)A過(guò)于絕

對(duì)Q選項(xiàng)C中的academicinstructions和D中的physicaldisease屬于與文章無(wú)關(guān)的

信息。

14、HowdoesSyracuseUniversitydefenditselfagainstAnita'ssuit?

A、Ithasgivenherdueattentionaswellashelp.

B、Adultstudentsshouldbeabletocontroltheirownbehavior.

C、Itismorethantheschoofsresponsibilitytosupervisethestudents.

D、Collegescanbeabreedinggroundforpsychiatricproblems.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。第4段倒數(shù)第2句引文是該校發(fā)言人的辯護(hù)詞，與選項(xiàng)

A的意思一致。選項(xiàng)B、C為無(wú)關(guān)信息。選項(xiàng)D是京文最后一段的原句照搬，與此

題不相關(guān)c

15、Allthefollowingproblemsareimpliedaspossiblecausesofcampussuicide

incidentsEXCEPT.

A^pooracademicresults

B、failingtogetpropersleep

C、lackoffamilyconcern

D^familyhistoryofmentalillness

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。最后一段提到造成精神疾病的多種原因。第I句中的

generallypredisposed為先天具有之意，與選項(xiàng)D的內(nèi)容吻合。選項(xiàng)B和A分別對(duì)

應(yīng)文中破折號(hào)前后的內(nèi)容。

16、Adecimumwas.

A、thewife'sinheritancefromherfather

B、agiftofmoneytothenewhusband

C、aprotectionofthewife'sright

D^awrittencontract

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：詞義推斷題。第1段第2句指出了decimum的作用，即與“彩禮”相

當(dāng)，作為保護(hù)婦女的工具。第4句以“Thedecimumwas…”的句式指出其定義，綜

合這兩句，可斷定選項(xiàng)C正確。

17、IntheIOthand11thcenturiesinsouthernEuropean,women'ssocialposition

was.

A^higherthanmen's

B、ashighasmen's

C、lowerthanmen's

D、neverrecognized

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理判斷題。文章第1句就表明婦女當(dāng)時(shí)的地位很高，第1段最后兩

句表明婦女與其丈夫的地位并無(wú)不同，是平等的，因此可以推斷本題答案應(yīng)為B。

18、ThepurposeofmentioningthecaseofMariaVivasis.

A、toshowwomenhadthesamerightsas,ifnotmorethan,theirhusbands

B、toprovehot-temperedwomanheldapowerfuleconomicposition

C>totellthereaderstherealsituationsinsomecountries

D、toshowthefightspiritsofwomen

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A-

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理判斷題。本題考查例子與觀點(diǎn)的關(guān)系。該例子是為了證明其前

面，即第2段開(kāi)頭兩句的觀點(diǎn)，選項(xiàng)A是對(duì)這兩句話的總結(jié)。

19、Couldahusbandsellhislife'sinheritanceaccordingtothispassage?

A、Yes,ifsheagreed.

B、No,undernocircumstances.

C>Yes,wheneverhewishedto.

D、Yes,whentheyneededmoneyforthehousehold.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理判斷題。本題考查從例子的推斷。根據(jù)ManaVivas的例子可確

定答案，而且從第2段第4句中的Havingagreedwilhherhusband可推斷售賣妻子

繼承的財(cái)產(chǎn)必須先征得妻子的同意，因此選項(xiàng)A正確。

20、WhichofthefollowingisNOTmentionedasaneffectofthedowrysystem?

A、Thehusbandhadtosharethepowerofdecisioninmarriage.

Thewifecouldmanageherhusband'spersonalproperty.

C、Thewifegainedapowerfuleconomicposition.

D、Thewifewouldnotbedesertedbyherhusband.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。可用排除法找出答案。第1段倒數(shù)第2句可證明選項(xiàng)A

正確，第2段首句可證明選項(xiàng)B正確，第2段末句可表明選項(xiàng)C正確，只有選項(xiàng)

D太絕對(duì)。

A、ThesayingsoftheSwiss.

B、Thesoundofabird.

C>Backgroundmusic.

D、Thetelephone.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。短文第一段開(kāi)頭指出WhenaNewYorkerwashikingin

Europe,hisSwissfriendkeptsaying4€Listentothat!”buthedicinghearanything.結(jié)合

1、[ci]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：J

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)為名詞，可與介詞in構(gòu)成詞組作watch的狀語(yǔ)。結(jié)合下一句

的Otherfanswatchthegamesalhome,可以推斷空口處應(yīng)為person?watch...playin

person意為“親眼目睹……打比賽

2、[C2]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：G

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)為形容詞，修飾fans。從本句中提到的nevermissagame可以

推斷只有最熱衷的球迷才會(huì)這樣做，因此devoted--詞最符合本句句意。

3、（C31

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)為形容詞，修飾people。下一句表明本句中提到的職業(yè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員

年薪很高，由此可推斷這些運(yùn)動(dòng)員很富有，因此wealthy為本題答案。

4、[C4]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：L

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)為名詞。結(jié)合本句說(shuō)到的bigmoney,appearing,forsoftdrinks

等詞可以推斷空白處最合適的詞是advertisements,因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在明星拍廣告能賺大

錢。

5、[C51

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：I

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)為及物動(dòng)詞，且為動(dòng)詞原形。從本句中but可以推斷句中第一

個(gè)分句表明“雖然不是所有人都崇尚/喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)”，空白處應(yīng)表明“崇尚”、"喜歡’等

意思，由此可見(jiàn)，worship是最適合的詞。

6、[C6]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析?：此處應(yīng)為及物動(dòng)詞，且為動(dòng)詞原形。從本段對(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)的描述可以推斷空

白處的動(dòng)詞應(yīng)具積極意義，benefit最合適，表明運(yùn)動(dòng)可以造福社區(qū)。

7、[C7]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：F

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)為名詞，且為復(fù)數(shù)。句中的like及其后所列舉的運(yùn)動(dòng)項(xiàng)目說(shuō)明

了這些都屬于非競(jìng)爭(zhēng)性的活動(dòng)，由此可見(jiàn)，本題答案為aclivities。

8、[C8]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：M

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)為名詞。本句是最后一段的主題句，該段說(shuō)明了各種運(yùn)動(dòng)的起

源，由此可見(jiàn)，主題句應(yīng)表明運(yùn)動(dòng)是一種國(guó)際性的遺產(chǎn)，因此本題答案為

heritage?

9、[C9]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：E

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)為及物動(dòng)詞，而且是過(guò)去分詞的形式，與were構(gòu)成本句謂

語(yǔ)。本句及其后兩句都韋出有一些美國(guó)的運(yùn)動(dòng)來(lái)自于其他國(guó)家，因此只有imponed

與此語(yǔ)義相關(guān)。

10、[C10]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：O

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)為副詞，修飾foreign。根據(jù)上下文的句意，可以推斷詞庫(kù)中

只有fonncrly適當(dāng)，表明原本外來(lái)的運(yùn)動(dòng)現(xiàn)在也受歡迎。

11、[Cl]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：J

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)為形容詞，修飾games。在詞庫(kù)中educational和online都是可

能的選擇，但上下文多次提到education一詞，由此可見(jiàn)，這篇文章討論的是教育

游戲，而不是在線游戲，因此educational最適合。

12、[C2]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：K

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)為名詞，作lead的賓語(yǔ)。根據(jù)上下文，考慮到該次會(huì)議嚴(yán)討

論的內(nèi)容及其目的，可以推斷此處應(yīng)為change。leadchange意為“引導(dǎo)變革”。

13、[C3]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：N

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)為名詞，回指上一段提到的conference。

14、[C4]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：F

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)為名詞，根據(jù)該句中this一詞的提示，所需名詞的意思應(yīng)該與

上一句的exposition同義，因此答案是show。

15、[C5]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：G

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處需要?jiǎng)釉~原形，而且是及物動(dòng)詞。在詞庫(kù)中，explore和change

都符合詞性的要求,但上下文一直沒(méi)有提到舊的方式，因此也不會(huì)涉及“改變”，由

此可排除change。因此答案為explore。

16、[C6]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處需要名詞，與science并列作mix的主語(yǔ)。因?yàn)樵撛~與science并

列，可以推斷它也是一門學(xué)科，只有mathematics合適。

17、[C7]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)該是動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞，與willbe構(gòu)成該句的謂語(yǔ)。根據(jù)

statement和下文的onsomeproducts可以推斷該詞應(yīng)該是placed,意為“放置

18、[C8]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)為單數(shù)名詞，表明粘貼聲明的目的，因此答案就是goal。

19、[C9]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：M

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)為名詞，從上下文可以判斷該名詞是某種sysiem,是一種設(shè)

備，因此答案是devices。

20、[CIO]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：L

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處需要副詞作狀語(yǔ)修飾動(dòng)詞experience,表示學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)歷的方式，詞

庫(kù)中相符的詞為onlineoexperiencetheAmericanRevolutiononline意為“在線體驗(yàn)美

國(guó)革命
