1、What'sthecentraltopicofthepassage?

A、IT-platform.

B、Visuallog.

C^Voicecommunication.

D、Telecoms.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：主旨題。本文第一段第一句Thecommunicationsexplosionisonthe

scaleoftherail,automobileortclephoncrevolution.就提到了關(guān)鍵詞組The

communicationsexplosion,下文主要講述了在未來高度發(fā)達(dá)的電訊業(yè)可能弓I發(fā)的人

們生活和工作中的巨大變化，因此［D］“電訊業(yè)”為正確答案。［A］”計(jì)算機(jī)平臺(tái)”在文

中最后一段出現(xiàn)，是指汽車；［B］“可視記錄”出現(xiàn)在第一段末尾，說的是“相片，影

像“；［C］“有聲通訊”是［D］的一部分,因此［A］、［B］和［C］均不合適,故排除。

2、WhichofthefollowingisNOTamongthefunctionsofthecommunicationsdust

accordingtothepassage?

A、Tomonitorlight.

B、Tochangecolor.

C、Toshowmovies.

D、Toplaymusic.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。按照文章最后一段末句Andeverylamppostcouldbeonihe

Internettoo—eachonewithsensorstomonitorlight,pollution,airqualityandtraffic

flow,即未來電線桿的功能之一是檢測公路上的照明，所以［A］不是通訊粉末的功

能，故為正確答案。第二段最后一句提到了通訊粉末的功能：changecolorQB］),

playmusic(［D］),showmovies(［C］)orevenspeaktoyou。

3、Thefutureglobalcommunicationsnetworkwillbecompletelyfreeof.

A、anybreakdown

B、costs

C、towersandmasts

D^manualoperation

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章第三段第四句Andifyouhavemillionsoflow―orbit

satellitesyoucanestablishaglobalcommunicationsnetworktliatcompletelydoesaway

withtowersandmasts.可知，未來的全球通訊網(wǎng)絡(luò)將徹底淘汰那些轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)塔和轉(zhuǎn)播天

線，因此［C］為正確答案。

4、What's"cellphone'1whichisinAmericanEnglishinBritishEnglish?

A、Cellularphone.

B、Mobilephone.

C、Radiophone.

D、Telephone.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：語義題。cellphone（蜂窩電話）是美式英語，英式英語中是mobile

phone（移動(dòng)電話）,所以［B］為正確答案。［A］指“便攜式電話”,美式英語；［C］是“光

線電話“；［D］是“電話”。

5、WhichofthefollowingisINCORRECTaccordingtothepassage?

A^Voicecommunicationbecomesalmostfreeeventually.

B、Yourchildrencanplayinteractivegamesinthecar.

C、Spatialreuseoffrequencieswillbeintrouble.

D、Lamppostcouldmonitorpollutionandairflow.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析:推理題。文章第三段第五句指出Ifthesatellitesworkedonthecellular

principlesoyougotspatialreuseoffrequencies,systemcapacitywouldbeamazing,所

以［C］與原文內(nèi)容不符，故為答案。［Ah|B］和［D］均可在文中第四、五段找到原

句，故排除。

6、WhoistheleaseroftheRegentStreet?

A、CrownEstate.

B、BritishQueen.

C、TheQuadrant.

D、Dickens&JonesandLauraAshley.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。從第一段第一句…accordingtotheCrownEstate,whichholds

theleaseonshopsinthefamousthoroughfare.可知，王室地產(chǎn)是攝政街的出租方，

故［A］正確。［B］在文中未提及；［C］是倒數(shù)第二段提到的需要重新發(fā)展的地區(qū)；［D］

是第二段提到的品牌商店名，故這三項(xiàng)均可排除。

7、Whichofthefollowingsignalsthearea'snewimage?

A、Cappuccinobars.

B、Quadrant.

C、Dickens&Jonesdepartmentstore.

D^U.S.surfweargiantQuiksilver.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。從第二段第二句中…whilethearrivalofApplecomputersand

U.S.surfweargiantQuiksi.versignalsthearea'snewimage.可以得出正確答案為

［D］o

8、Wccaninferfromthepassagethat.

A、London'sRegentStreetisseekingitsrenaissance

B、someoldfamousstoreswillberebuilt

C、therentwillbedecreased

D、all(hestreetsherewillbepedestrianised

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理題。文章主要論述了攝政街為了改變自己在時(shí)代發(fā)展中H漸落伍

的狀況所采取的一系列措施，以求恢復(fù)其昔日的輝煌，如引進(jìn)美國一些著名品牌

等，所以［A］為正確答案。

9、IncomefromtheCrownEstategoesto.

A^(heroyalfamily

B、theQueen

C、theTreasury

D、theRegentStreet

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。從最后一段第三句IncomefromiheCrownEstategoestothe

Treasury,underthetermsofadealstruckinthe18thcentury.可知,答案為［C］。

10、WhichofthefollowingisINCORRECTaccordingtothepassage?

A^McDonald'sandvariouscut-priceluggagecompaniesarelocatedinthelowerparts.

B、NurserybrandMamas&PapashastakentheplaceofLauraAshley.

C、The"oldRegentStreet'1willheforcedout.

D、Allthechangesaretheresultofthegovernmentpolicyregulation.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理題。攝政街的所有變化都是王室地產(chǎn)公司為了恢復(fù)該地區(qū)的繁榮

而做出決策所引起的，與政府的政策調(diào)整無關(guān)，所以［D］與原文不符，故為正確答

案。

B、historyshouldbemadecompulsoryforthe14-ycar-olds

C、peoplearebeingcheatedofsomethingthat'sreallygoodtoknow

D^audienceslackeducationtounderstandclassicalplays

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：主旨題。根據(jù)第一段的描述可知，由于越來越多的觀眾不理解經(jīng)典歷

史劇，本文呼吁人們加強(qiáng)對青少年的歷史教育，所以正確答案是［D］。［A］”歷史課

應(yīng)該在十六歲時(shí)被定為必修課”、［B］“歷史課應(yīng)該在十四歲時(shí)被定為必修課”和

人們被一些真正應(yīng)該知道的東西所欺騙了“，都不是文章主旨，故排除。

12、WhichofthefollowingisINCORRECTaccordingtothepassage?

A、Bennett'splayTheHistoryBoyshaswidespreadappeal.

B、BennettisthedirectoroftheNationalTheatre.

C^HytnerisbestknownforhisdirectionofAdrianLesterinHenryV.

D、PupilsarcnotrequiredtositafullGCSEinsomeEnglishliterature.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。從第一段第一句...NicholasHytner,directorof(heNational

Theatre...可知,Hytner才是國家劇院的導(dǎo)演,而不是Bennett,所以［B］與原文

不符，故為答案。

13>Wecaninferfromthepassagethat.

A^historyisnotacompulsorycoursetochildrenof14to16

B、childrenof14don'tstudyhistory

C、pupilsof16arerequirediositafullGCSEintheliieraiure

D、pupilsof14arerequiredtositafullGCSEintheliterature

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理題。從文章中可以看出，在英國學(xué)生從14歲開始就學(xué)習(xí)歷史，

但是對于14歲到16歲的學(xué)生來說，歷史不是必修課，這也正是文中Hytner導(dǎo)演

極力要求改變的事實(shí)，所以［A］是正確答案。［B:十四歲的孩子不學(xué)歷史”、［C］“十

六歲的學(xué)生被要求全面學(xué)習(xí)GCSE文學(xué)課程”和［D］“十四歲的學(xué)生被要求全面學(xué)習(xí)

GCSE文學(xué)課程”均可排除。

14^What'sBennett'sattitudetowardshistory?

AsHeisnotinterestedinit.

B、1(isnotmentioned.

C、Helikesit.

D^Itisaburden.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：態(tài)度題。從文章倒數(shù)第二段第二句Ididhistorybecause1likeddoingit

soitwasneveraburden.可知，他喜歡學(xué)習(xí)歷史，故［C］正確。［A］”他對此不感興

趣"、［B］“文中沒有提及"和［D］“歷史是一種負(fù)擔(dān)”都與原文不符，故均排除。

15、Hytnerrepeatedlycomplains(hatpeoplearecheated,thenwhocheatedthem

accordingtothepassage?

A、Theplay.

B、Themoderneducation.

C、Thedirectors.

Thehistory.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理題。Hytner反復(fù)抱怨人們受到了欺騙，忽視了很多值得了解的東

西，接著就提出了學(xué)校中進(jìn)行歷史教育的問題，因此他認(rèn)為教育不當(dāng)使人們忽視了

歷史，從而使人們無法真正地領(lǐng)悟歷史劇的魅力，故［B］正確。［A］、［C］和［D］均不

正確，故排除。

16、What'sthemainindustryofBedford?

A、Coal.

B、Ironandsteel.

C、Car.

D^Education.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章第二段第一句11yearsagomydaughterstartedschool

inBedford,atownwhosemainindustryiseducation…可知，答案為［D］。

17、Thephrase"enroute"inParagraph3canbereplacedby.

Asontheway

B、bytheway

C、indiefamilyway

D、overtheway

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A.

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：語義題。enroute是法語，結(jié)合所在句子可知，其意思是“在途中”，

所以選［A］。

18、What'sthesuggestionofthemotheratlast?

A^Tomake(heprovisionofschoolbusesmandatoryfbrallschools.

B、Toletchildrengotoschoolbybusthemselves.

C、Tohavemorebranchlines.

D、Tobuildmorelocalschools.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章最后一段笫二句Whynotmaketheprovisionofschool

busesmandatoryforallschools,stateorprivate,thatacceptchildrenoutsideawalkable

catchmentarea?可知,答案為［A］。

19^Itcanheinferredfromthepassagethattheauthorhadto.

A、sendherdaughtertoschoolbycareveryday

B、sendherdaughtertoschoolbybuseveryday

C、sendherdaughtertoschoolbytraineveryday

D、sendherdaughtertoschoolonfooteveryday

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理題。從文章第三段的第五旬Mydaughterknewherwaytoschool

fromtheageoffive：itwasa10-minutewalk,Icrossedheroverthebiggestroadand

lethergo.可以看出，作者帶女兒穿過一條最大的路后就讓她自己走，因此選

[D].

20、WhichofthefollowingisINCORRECTaccording(othepassage?

A、Theauthorlived12milesawayfromherdaughter'sschool.

Theauthorlivesinaquiettownwithouttraftlcjam.

C、Carschangetheirperceptionofwhatispossible,andofwhattheyareentitledto.

D^It'shardtoknowthemomentofdrivingtheirchildtoschoolbecomingthenorm.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案；B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理題。從文章第一段Theresultistrafficmayhem.就可以看出作者

生活的小鎮(zhèn)交通擁堵，她們居住的地方環(huán)境也十分嘈雜，因此[B]與原文內(nèi)容不

符，故為答案。

B、becausetherearecrumbsoffoodinthekitchen

C、becauseofareasonthatisnotdiscussedinthepassage

D、becauseofthechocolatecake,peanutbutterandcheese

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：文章從頭到尾都沒有提到為什么作者的廚房老鼠結(jié)濫，故應(yīng)選C。A

與第1段中的everysurfaceistidilycleaned的內(nèi)容相反：B與其后的notthesmallest

crumboffoodleftanywhere相反；D提到的是作者放在老鼠夾上誘捕老鼠的食物，

但老鼠對這些食物視而不見，可見，D也不可能是導(dǎo)致廚房老鼠泛濫的原因。

2、Theauthor'sfriendElisawas"inapanic"because.

A、shewasworriedaboutamouseintrouble

B、shehadneverseensomanymicebefore

C、shewasafraidofmice

D、shelostherpetmouse

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第4段提到了作者的兩個(gè)朋友:Fielding和Elisa。其中Fielding表示

應(yīng)將老鼠殺死，而Elisa則相反，該段接下來的內(nèi)容表明Elisa為在站臺(tái)上迷路的小

老鼠感到擔(dān)心。明白了這一段的內(nèi)容，就容易選出正確答案A.

3、ChrisPlantanmostprobablyagreesthat.

A、paperlesslivingwillneverberealized

B、paperlesslivingwillberealizedsoon

C、realityisrunningcountertopaperlessliving

D^realityprovesthenecessityofpaperlessliving

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第2段第2句中的needforpapermanagement和第2段最后一句都表

明現(xiàn)在的生活使人必須花更多的精力對紙質(zhì)文件進(jìn)行管理，可見現(xiàn)在并不是

paperlessliving,因此，本題應(yīng)選C。在第2段中,ChrisPlantan并沒有對未來是否

可以實(shí)現(xiàn)paperlessliving作出評價(jià)，因此A和B都沒有依據(jù)；D與原文相悖。

4、TheprogramHoarders"iscitedinParagraphThreetoillustratethat.

A、peopleoftenleavetheirpapersdisorganized

paperlesslivingisadvocatedbymanypeople

C、peoplecannotlivewithoutpaper

D^manypeoplearegoodatfilingpapers

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第3段第2句中的“你并不需要定期觀看Hoarders這個(gè)節(jié)目，也會(huì)知

道...”(Youdon，needtobe...toknowthat)表明knowthat后的內(nèi)容就是這個(gè)例子想

要說明的問題，該句表明大多數(shù)人并不會(huì)把文件整理好，并放在規(guī)范的檔案柜里，

而是隨意處理，A與此同義，故為答案。該段沒有再提到paperlessliving這一話

題，papersfiling(文件歸檔)是該段的重點(diǎn)，在三個(gè)干擾項(xiàng)中，只有D提到了

filing,但該項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與原文相反。

5、MelissaSorensenismostlikelytoholdthatmostofthefiles.

A^shouldbeputorderlyinthecabinets

B、shouldbethrownout

C、canneverbefoundinthefuture

D^shouldbekeptforlateruse

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第4段最后一句中的youneverretrieveagain意為“你不會(huì)再查看“，上

一句她說“人們總是不愿意扔掉一些東西，擔(dān)心以后還有用“，表明Melissa

Sorensen最可能認(rèn)為這85%的文件就算扔掉
