63(根据句首的aquarterofacenturyafter可推知,这里指就是在电视引进的25年后的这段时间。故填period)3.medium(这里表示看电视成为了稀疏平常的事情,themedium意为“媒介”,这里代指电视。)4.deeply(由于句子缺少修饰ingrained的词,ingrained意为“根深蒂固;彻头彻尾”,并且上下文均说明了电视的深刻影响,所以这里填副词deeply。)5.life(根据上下文可知,说的是电视对美国人“生活”的影响。填life符合逻辑。)6.set(televisionset属于固定搭配,意为“电视机”。)7.rank(根据下文提到的legalnecessity,包括衣服、厨具等,可知电视也被“列为”其中之一。故填rank。)8.safe(由于前面提到了“受法律保护”,所以是safefromrepossession,即“不会被收缴”。)9.debt(根据逻辑推测,只有在欠债的情况下才会对私人物品进行收缴,

64这里表示假设,所以填debt。)10.like(andthelike属于固定搭配,意为“诸如此类;以此类推”。此处表示和前面的衣服、厨具一类的举例省略。)11.ordinary(根据and前面的inevitable可知,这里应当填意义相近或相同的形容词,说明电视对生活的重要性,故填ordinary。)12.early(根据下文可知,作家们会将看电视的行为和电视的内容区分开来,后面出现了Inthoseearlydays,故可知表示早期,所以此处填early。)13.sufficient(此处缺少修饰perspectives的词,根据逻辑推测和后面的frequentlydiscussed,说明对电视的讨论很广泛,看法很充足,故填sufficient。)14.activity(根据下文出现两个表示比较的成分,即“看电视”和“电视的内容”,所以推测这里是指“看电视”这一行为,故填activity。)15.actual(由于电视中会出现广告和真实的内容,大家通常讨论的都是播出的有实际意义的内容,所以此处填actual。)16.writers(根据上文提到了writers对电视有充足的观点,所以推测这里依然

65表示作家们经常会讨论电视。)17.effects(根据前面提到的将看电视的行为和电视内容区分开,所以推测他们讨论的是电视的影响,且effecton属于常用搭配。故填effect。)18.afflicted(根据填空处前面的acuriousmyopia,即“出于好奇,但是目光短浅”,可知这里表示贬义;句子缺少动词,故填afflicted,意为“折磨;使……遭殃”。)19.exception(withoutexception属于常用搭配,意为“没有意外”,根据上文这种由于对电视感到新奇而目光短浅,使得那些观察者无一例外都认为电视机是好东西。)20.upon(influenceupon/on属于固定搭配,意为“对……产生影响”,这里指人们认为电视机对生活有积极的影响。)Ⅴ.Paraphrasethefollowingstatements.(20%)1.Notsurprisinglyvastareasoftheshallowsareawashwithbacteriaanditdoesn’ttakelongforthesereachpeople.【答案】Becausevastareasoftheshallowsarerichinbacteria,wecaninferthatfishwouldabsorbthemandthenitwillenterourfoodchainatlastwithinaminute.Alsopeoplewhoenjoyswimmingintheseawouldalsotaketherisk.

68(incapably意为“无能地;不能胜任地”。根据上下文,推测为hardly,表示很难知道什么叫“空闲”。)3.√4.in→to(withaviewto属于固定搭配,表示“为了……;目的在于……”,搭配介词to,故将in改为to。)5.big→bigger(根据上下文,这里表示追求更高的公司地位和更高的薪水,前面有greater,此处也应填并列的比较级bigger。)6.删除over(farexceeds意为“远远超过”,后面直接接宾语,不需要再加介词over。故将over删除。)7.√8.has→have(由于主语是“额外的紧张和压力以及缺少适当的休息和娱乐”,属于复数,故将has改为have。)9.affect→effect(haveeffectonsth.属于固定搭配,表示“对……有影响”。effect在这里做名词。故将affect改为effect。)10.√11.run∧of→out(runoutof属于固定搭配,表示“耗尽;用完”,这里指耗尽精

69力。)12.of∧executive→the(executiveladder意为“行政阶梯”,这里由于是复述上面提到过的行政管理,所以需要添加定冠词the。)13.at→on(authorityon属于固定搭配,表示“……方面的权威;……的专家”,搭配介词on。故将at改为on。)14.prevent→change(根据上下文,这里并非表示“防止”日常生活中的活动,不符合逻辑,而是“改变”一些活动,从繁忙的工作中解放出来,改为娱乐。故将prevent改为change。)15.or→and(part和parcel均表示“一部分”,属于并列成分,不表示转折,故将or改为and。)16.have→having(devoteoneselftodoingsth.属于固定搭配,意为“献身于;致力于”,后面接动词ing形式。故将have改为having。)17.even∧it→if(even是强调,表示“甚至;即使”,后者的情况或者事物更为严重。而evenif只表示“即使”,引导让步状语从句。)18.Those∧jobs→whose(此处缺少关系代词whose引导定语从句,表示“他们的”,先行词为

70those。)19.删除not(根据上下文,此句表示那些要和他人大量打交道的人需要的是安静和平和的活动,远离喧嚣的人群,not表示“不需要”,不符合逻辑。)20.client→clients(由于客户不可能只有一个,且前后并列的成分如associates均为负数,所以client也应当为复数形式。)Ⅶ.Writing(30%)Writeanessayofabout300wordsentitled:THETHOUGHT-PROVOKINGSARS.【参考范文】TheThought-provokingSARSSARS,whosefullnameissevereacuterespiratorysyndrome,isaviralrespiratorydiseaseofzoonoticorigincausedbycoronavirus.Inyear2002and2003,anoutbreakofSARSinsouthernChinaledtoaneventualofmorethan8,000cases,resultingin774deathsin37countries,mostofwhichhappenedinChina.AccordingtoWHO,nomoreSARScaseshavebeenreportedsince2004.However,thisinfectiousdiseaseisthought-provoking,teachingusalotoflessonsfrompreventingdiseasetodedication.Inordertopreventthespreadofsimilarcontagiousorinfectiousdiseasefromhappeningagain,theinterventionsshouldbepracticedasearlieraspossible.Forexample,eachdistrictshouldsetaparticulardepartmenttodealwiththedetectionofthedisease.Peoplewhoareinfectedmustbeisolated

121排早餐,让跟团游客赶下一趟行程。)10.at(atone’selbow属于该固定搭配,意为“在手旁;触手可及”,本句表示跟团时间总是很紧迫。)11.disadvantage(根据下文提到的“和一群从未谋面的人一起度假”以及“没有借口离开”,可知这里说的是跟团游的“缺点”,故填disadvantage。)12.and(maynotlike和have后面的内容属于并列成分,表示“你可能不喜欢这样并且也没有借口……”,故填and连接。)13.from(getawayfromsth.属于固定搭配,意为“摆脱;逃离”,这里指无法摆脱和陌生人同游的情况。)14.belonging(belongto属于固定搭配,表示“属于……”,这里指有的寂寞的人或者老年人觉得跟团游有归属感。)15.added(根据前文所说的与陌生人同游是addeddisadvantage,然后又反面说这对寂寞的人来说是有归属感的,所以这里填added,表示“额外奖励”,与addeddisadvantage形成对比。)Ⅶ.Writing.(35pts)Writeanessayofabout300wordsonthefollowingtopic:THECHILD

123“Thechildisthefatheroftheman”来自英国诗人威廉•华兹华斯的诗《彩虹》,主要理解的意思为“三岁看老”。本篇范文首先在开头解释了标题的来源,并简要介绍了诗的内容,为下文的论述作基垫,并提出了中心思想:在孩提时代养成的习惯将决定长大成为什么样的人。第二段提出了重视培养孩子的价值观以及给予关心爱护的重要性,这样才能帮助孩子长大成为善良的人。第三段从另一方面提出了对这句话的理解,即诗人可能还想表达培养热爱自然的重要性,即要从小让孩子学会热爱自然,这样他才会爱护自己生活的环境和地球这个美好家园。

245【答案与解析】1.B文章第二段第二句话提到“ButIliveinthemiddleofalargeuniversity,andIseesuperstitioninitsfourmanifestations,aliveandflourishingamongpeoplewhoareindisputablyrationalandlearned.”但我生活在一所大学里,我看到迷信的四种表现形式,在那些完全理性和博学的人中鲜活存在和蔓延,然后接下来作者分别用四段话列举了这四种形式。由此可知,作者的意图是揭示迷信的普遍性,故选B。2.D文章第一段提到“...superstitiondoesnotfigurelargelyasaseriouschallengetoreasonorscience.Parapsychology,UFO’s,miraclecures,transcendentalmeditationandallthepathstoinstantenlightenmentarecondemned,butsuperstitionismerelydeplored.Itisbecauseithasanunacknowledgedholdonsomanyofus?”迷信并不构成对理性和科学的严峻挑战,灵异学等遭到严重责难,但是迷信只是受到了谴责,而科学家等具有良好教育的人也会迷信。由此可知,故选D。3.A文章第三段倒数第二句中提到“.....whenIaskedhimwhy,hereplied,withawink,thatitwas“tohittheDevilintheeye.””用来砸恶魔的眼睛。题干中是一旦有人打喷嚏,大家便赶紧说上帝保佑你。西方人认为,人打喷嚏时,恶魔会趁虚而入。由此可知,它的迷信形式是通过语言仪式,故选A。4.B文章第五段提到“Ifyouhaveeversupervisedalargeexaminationroom,youknowhowmanyjujus,luckycoinsandotherbringersofluckareplacedonthedesksoftirecandidates.”考生会在教室的桌子上放置幸运币等物品来给自己带来好运气,由此可知,在手腕缠绕红线带来好运的行为也是一种偶像崇拜,故选B。5.A文章最后一段第一句话“Superstitioningeneralislinkedtoman’s

246yearningtoknowhisfate,andtohavesomehandindecidingit.”总的来说,迷信与人们渴望知道自己的命运,并对它有决定权密切相关。由此可知,人们希望知道和掌握自己的命运,故选A。6.B文章倒数第二段第一句提到“PeoplewholikedisagreeablehistoricalcomparisonsrecallthatwhenRomewasindecline,superstitionproliferatedwidely,andthatsomethingofthesamesortishappeninginoutwesternworldtoday.”and后面表示如今西方世界里占卜术仍旧存在,由此可推断,西方世界中,迷信是以占卜术的形式大量存在,故选B。TEXTBHowwelookandhowweappeartoothersprobablyworriesusmorewhenweareinourteensorearlytwentiesthanatanyothertimesinourlife.Fewofusarecontenttoacceptourselvesasweare,andfewarebraveenoughtoignorethetrendsoffashion.MostfashionmagazinesorTVadvertisementstrytopersuadeusthatweshoulddressinacertainwayorbehaveinacertainmanner.Ifwedo,theytellus,wewillbeabletomeetnewpeoplewithconfidenceanddealwitheverysituationconfidentlyandwithoutembarrassment.Changingfashion,ofcourse,doesnotapplyjusttodress.Abarbertodaydoesnotcutaboy’shairinthesamewayasheusedto,andgirlsdonotmakeupinthesamewayastheirmothersandgrandmothersdid.Theadvertisersshowthelatestfashionablestylesandweareconstantlyunderpressuretofollowthefashionincaseourfriendsthinkweareoddordull.Whatcausesfashionstochange?Sometimesconvenienceorpracticalnecessityorjustthefancyofaninfluentialpersoncanestablishafashion.

282【答案与解析】1.as→like(根据句意,该句要表达“像人类史前祖先那样”而不是“作为人类史前祖先那样”。所以把as改为like。)2.supplementing→supplemented(本句中的分词短语supplementingwithanimalfoods是定语,修饰vegetablediet.根据上下文,此处是指|“素食被肉食补充”,应该用过去分词表被动。所以把supplementing改为supplemented。)3.and→or(根据句意,这里的意思只能是三分之二或多于三分之二,不能用表示并列关系的and,而应该用表示选择关系的or。所以把and改为

283or。)4.in→on(onaverage为固定搭配,意为“平均”。所以把in改为on。)5.as→whereas/while(根据句意,这两句话表示一种对比关系,故应用表示相反或不同事实的连词。所以把as改为whereas或while。)6.for→去掉for(provide是及物动词,可以直接接宾语,不需要任何介词。所以去掉for。)7.of→去掉of(despite是介词,可以直接接名词,不需要再加任何介词。所以去掉of。)8.half∧→that(根据句意,此处需要加上that指代前面的bloodcholesterollevels,句子结构才完整。所以在half后面加上that。)9.if→though(根据上下文,这里的主从句不是条件关系,而是让步关系。即“尽管没有人建议我们回到土著人的生活方式”。所以把if改为though。)10.for∧→a(本句中的ahealthierdiet表示“一种更加健康的饮食”。冠词a泛指一种或一类。所以在for后面加上a。)

287B.commentontheinternationalportcity—NewYork.C.callforpublicattentiontothesufferingofforeign-bornimmigrantsinNewYork.D.findagoodsolutiontotheproblemsofNewYorkforeign-bornimmigrants.【答案与解析】1.D文章第一段结尾提到“...butitalsofacesmajorchallengesinhelpingtointegratethemfullyintothelifeandeconomyofthecity.”。纽约在帮助移民融入当地生活和城市经济等方面面临重大临挑战。故选D。2.C文章第二段提到“ThevarietyisoneofNewYork’smostdistinctivetraits.”纽约区别于其他城市的特征就是其多样性,它的移民来自世界各地。故选C。3.A文章第三段最后提到“TheinabilitytospeakEnglishkeepsimmigrantsinverylow-payingjobs.”可知,外国的移民不会英语可能造成在就业上的困难。故选A。4.C由第五段第一句“Becausenewlyarrivedimmigrantsarenoteligibletovote—andturnoutislowamongthosewhohavebecomecitizens—manyoftheseproblemdonotreceivetheattentiontheydeservefrompoliticalleaders.”可知,因为新到的移民无法参与投票选举,而成为公民的移民占比又很小,所以他们的问题很少得到政府领导的关注。故选C。5.B根据文章大意,全文主要介绍了纽约这座“国际大熔炉”,既提到移民为纽约的城市发展带来的积极影响,又提到在移民问题上遇到的问题。故选B。

291种“魔力”中解放出来。即希望她继续保持这种魔力,创作出令读者惊喜的小说。故选B。7.A文章第一段提到“Clark具有创作大部头小说的才华”,故C正确;由第二段“ThisisClarke’smasterstroke,thenecessarytouchofordinarycandleshineinthemidstofalltheuncannyfairylightshedispenses.”可知D正确;由第四段中“Thebookoffers...butalsoaDickensianflowoflanguage”可知B正确。故选A。8.D文章第三段最后“...butalsoaDickensianflowoflanguageinwhichacomicalsurplusofdetailringsatlastwithcertainandinevitablesignificance.”可知,Clark在语言上借鉴了Dickens的风格。文章并没有说Clark是与Austen齐名的作家,只提到Clark向其学习;Norrell是Clark小说中的人物,并非真实学者;JonathanStrange也是Clark小说中的人物,而不是Austen笔下的人物。所以排除A、B、C。故选D。9.B由文章第五段中“ButthereissomuchmoretoJonathanStrange&Mr.Norrell—anenergybucklingandstrainingattheedgesofthebookinsheerimaginativeoverflow,”提到的书名可知,小说中的主要人物是Strange和Norrell。故选B。10.B根据文章大意,全文主要评价新作家Clark在其处女作中所展现出来的能把读者牢牢吸引住的魔幻般的能力。因此,用“TheMagicofaSpell-BindingDebut”做整篇文章的标题最合适。故选B。
