1、Therelationshipbetweenthesecondandthirdparagraphsisthat.

A、eachpresentsonesideofthebackgroundinformationofthedead

B、thesecondgeneralizesandthethirdgivesexamples

C、thethirdisthefurtherdevelopmentofthesecond

D、bothpresenttheauthor'sdisagreementsontheinscription

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：第2段講作者進(jìn)入墓地后發(fā)現(xiàn)不論貧富、性別、職業(yè)、美丑、死后皆

葬入墓中，而第3段提到，作者發(fā)現(xiàn)墓地碑文各異，夸大其詞者、故弄玄虛者、不

得要領(lǐng)者皆有之。據(jù)此可知，第3段是第2段的自然延續(xù)和邏輯發(fā)展，故選C。

2、Accordingtothethirdparagraph,whichofthefollowingstatementsisINCORRECT?

A、Everyepitaphonthetombisoverstated.

B、Someepitaphsaremodestwhileothersareexaggerated.

C、Thereareaccountsonthemonuments.

D、Theownersofsomemonumentsarenotclear.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：第3段雖提到某些碑文夸張，但并不是每塊碑文都夸大具詞，故可輕

易確定A表述有誤，故選A。由上一段結(jié)論第可知B、C均符合文意，故不選：D

在該段倒數(shù)第2句中有體現(xiàn)，也不選。

3、Asforepitaphs,whichofthefollowingisNOTtrue?

A、Itmayhonorboththelivingandthedead.

B、Theauthorwasunhappywithmodernepitaphs.

C>Thereareinscriptionsonthemonuments.

D、Epitaphsmayreflectone'sideaofanation.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析:最后一段首句便提到作者verydelightedwithseveralmodernepitaphs,

何來不開心?故選B0根據(jù)文章大意可知C”墓碑上有碑文”符合文意；再分析第4

段首句dohonortothelivingaswellastothedead,即A”紀(jì)念死者和生者”符合文

意；第4段還提到外國人容易從公眾紀(jì)念碑和銘文中，對一個民族產(chǎn)生或無知或有

教養(yǎng)的印象，即D"墓志銘反映人們對一個國家的印象”也符合文意。

4、What'sthemeaningof"humor"inthefirstparagraph?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：Mood.

知識點解析：根據(jù)上下文可知，當(dāng)作者心情不好的時候就去教堂走動，所以humor

應(yīng)表“心情”之義，故答案為Mood。

(1)Proponentsofdifferentjazzstyleshavealwaysarguedthattheirpredecessors'musical

styledidnotincludeessentialcharacteristicsthatdefinejazzasjazz.Thus,1940*sswing

B、atopicsentenceismentionedandillustratedwiththreespecificexamples

C、atopicsentenceisstatedandthreedissimilarexamplesareconsidered

D、atopicsentenceisstatedandthreeseeminglyopposingexamplesarepresented

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：答題時應(yīng)考慮文章文體判斷，常見的說明文一般發(fā)展脈絡(luò)為“總一分”

或“總一分一總”。就第4段的結(jié)構(gòu)而言，應(yīng)是“總一分”，故選B。A“以某種次序排

序三個例子”無原文依據(jù)；C“提出三個不相似的例子”與原文不符；D”給出明顯相

反的例證”也與文中三個例子的邏輯關(guān)系不符，故均可排除。

6、JohnColtranedidallofthefollowingduringhiscareerEXCEPT.

A、eliminatedtheinfluenceofbeboponhisownmusic

B、spenttimeimprovinghistechnicalandprofessionalskills

C、performedasleaderaswellassoloistintroducinghismusic

D、improvisedonmelodiesfromanumberofdifferentcultures

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：第1段第4句提到，在他的創(chuàng)作過程中，他幾乎吸取了所有這些風(fēng)格

的成分，由此可推出A錯誤，故選A。B可在原文找到同義表述；C可在第4段找

到；D是第1段第4句的同義替換，均不能選。

7、Thetoneofthispassageis.

A、speculative

B>praiseful

C、negative

D^lukewarm

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：本文主要講述了Coltrane在Jazz方面的地位并描繪了他在音樂上的

探索，很明顯作者對Coltrane持積極態(tài)度，故應(yīng)選B。

8、Whatdoestheword"jettison"inthesecondparagraphmean?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：Abandon/Geiridof.

知識點解析：仔細(xì)分析第2段，可以發(fā)現(xiàn)bebop對Coltrane一直都有影響，所以他

并沒有完全投棄bebop,故答案可為Abandon晟Getridofo

13、WhichofthefollowingisNOTthefirm'srecruitmentrequirement?

Marriage.

B、Background.

C、Relevantdegree.

D^Male.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：第1段中介紹McDeere的情況時，文中沒有提及B“背景”。

14^Thedetailsoftheprivateinvestigationshowthatthefirm.

A、wasinterestedinhisfamilybackground

B、intendedtocheckouthisotherjoboffers

D、wasinterestedinanypersonaldetailoftheman

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

收到了幾家公司的接收意向.他拒絕考試作弊，不接受可卡因等。對照四個選項，

這些細(xì)節(jié)并不局限于一方面，而是全面細(xì)致的，故選D。

15、WcgettheimpressionfromthepassagethatinjobrecruitmentthefirmwasNOT

17、WhatwastheorganizationthatdidtheinvestigationofMcDeeretothefirm?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：AprivateintelligenceoutfitinBethesda.

知識點解析：第3段第2句中的it指的是首句中提到的alabeled^Mitchell

Y.McDeere—Harvard"，這是該公司掌握的有關(guān)應(yīng)聘者M(jìn)cDeere的資料，由

preparedby可知它是從在貝塞斯達(dá)的私人情報機(jī)構(gòu)的一些前中央情報局的特工那里

獲得這些資料。接著第3句說他們是這家公司的客戶，每年免費為它做這種調(diào)查研

究，由此可見調(diào)查研究McDeere的機(jī)構(gòu)是位于貝塞斯達(dá)的私人情報機(jī)構(gòu)，答案為

AprivateintelligenceoutfitinBethesda0

18、Atthebeginningofthestory,thefoxseemstobeallEXCEPT.

A、cunning

B、fierce

C、defiant

D、annoying

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：第1段描寫那只狐貍時說它sly,即cunning之意，排除A；說它對

March開槍“毫不在意”，排除C：首句就說它讓人惱火，排除D。文中未說它多么

兇猛，故B“兇猛的”不是那只狐貍的特征或神態(tài)，是答案。

19、GraduallyMarchseemstobeinastateof.

A、blankness

B、imagination

C、sadness

D、excitement

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：March與狐貍短兵相接，狐貍的眼神讓March如著魔一般；它回眸一

望，更使March頭腦一片空白，只是不由自主地向狐貍消失的方向走去。文中用

到了abstractedly,mindlessness,均與A"空白，迷茫'’相對應(yīng)。

20、Attheendofthestory,thereseemstobeasenseofbetweenMarchandthe

fox.

A^detachment

B、anger

C>intimacy

D、conflict

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點露析：文章最后展示了March對狐貍長相的深刻印象，突出了兩者間的“相

知”，C“親近感”符合文章的含義。
