Part I Reading Comprehension Passage l
2.D【解析】上一句话说历史学家一般选用纸质证据:信(letters)、画(paintings)、相片(photographs),而人 类学家用实物(objects),these引导的句子是对objects的说明,所以选D。此题还可用排除法根据上一句排除ABC。
4.B 【解析】第三段可以看出Lindow是一个地名,而不是人命,所以A错误;文中并未交代发现者的身份,所以排除C;文章最后一段第二句说:“他的手和指甲表明他并未从事过重型手工劳作”所以排除D。答案是B。而且B选项也能从第二题得出。
Passage 2
6.C 【解析】事实细节题。第二段第一句话说人们没有认识到第三种服务是最重要的,而第一段中提出第三种服务是帮助预防干旱和洪水,因此答案为C。
7.D【解析】事实细节题。第二段说明了森林逐渐减少的原因,可知D正确。
9.B 【解析】事实细节题。第二段最后一句话提到当顶层土壤被冲走,就只剩下沙漠。而土被冲走是因为没有森林保存雨水,所以选8。
Passage 3
12.c【解析】推理判断题。根据文章的第三段,一台计算机存储的“词汇”能达到l00,000个:而一个十几岁的少年的词汇量也能达到 100,000个。然而,根据文章,l00,000个单词只是一个十几岁的少年全部记忆存储的一小部分。所以,计算机的“记忆”储备量要比一个十几岁的少 年的记忆存储量小得多。因为比较是在计算机和青少年之间进行的,与成年人无关,所以不能选B。
13.C【解析】推理判断题。从文章第二段小老鼠的例子可判断,动物也有记忆,也有一定解决问题的智力,所以C对的。根据文章最后一段第一句提 到的“高级智力advanced intelligence”可知动物也有智力,只是相比人类智力低而已,所以A说只有人类才有解决问题的智力是不准确的;D说动物解决问题靠本能而不靠智 力也是不对的。而根据文章的第三段,计算机在存储“词汇”方面和一个十几岁的少年是一样的,所以B说计算机存储和人脑记忆在各方面都不一样是错误的。
14.B【解析】推理判断题。in terms of“根据;按照;用……来说”。如果不知道该短语的意思,也可通过主语“一个人的大部分记忆”和“词或词组”之间的关系来判断。本句的意思是一个人的大部分记忆都是靠词和词组表达出来的。
15.B【解析】归纳概括题。文章的主题要根据内容来确定。第一段讲的是记忆的重要作用;第二段解释记忆是什么及其表现;第三段讲人类将记忆功 能运用到机器如计算机当中,并将人的记忆与计算机记忆进行比较;第四段说大部分记忆都是通过词汇表现的。四个选项当中只有B更贴近文章的主题,其他三个选 项都只是文章涉及的一个方面,都不具有概 括性。

21.C 【解析】句意:关于她我没什么印象了,除了她是长发。except that后面接宾语从句,that在从句中起连接作用,且不能省略,因此C为正确答案。except for后不能接从句:in tllat是书面语,表示“既然,因为”。例如:Crificism and self-criticism is necessary in t}lat it can helP us correct our mistakes.批评与自我批评是必要的,因为能帮助我们改正错误。
22.A【解析】句意:人们恭敬而又肃穆地静立着,目送葬礼队伍通过。respectful指感到或表现出尊敬,respectable表示举止行为值得尊敬的或体面的。其余两个相差很远。

26.A 【解析】句意:那个传达员,他的工作是接听电话,得了喉炎。句子中间部分为非限制性定语从句,修饰全句主语The receptionist。能够引导非限制性定语从句的关系代词只有A,B两个选项,而从句中主语部分的中心词为job,与从句所修饰的主句主语Te receptionist之间为所属关系,因此,应选A项(whose)。
27.D 【解析】本题考查介词with后的独立主格结构中的逻辑关系。句意:由于到处都种上了花草和树木,这座城市呈现出了崭新的面貌。在介词with后的独立主 格结构中.flowers and trees与动词plant之间为被动关系,因此应用plant的过去分词形式来表示。A项to be planted虽也为被动,但不定式表示将来动作。C项being planted是现在分词的被动形式,表示正在进行,与句意不符。
28.A【解析】词义辨析题。句意:做你认为正确的事,不要理会别人说什么。连词词义辨析题:whatever意为“无论什么”,引出让步状语 从句,它既为连词,同时又作say的宾语: whichever系指在某一范围内的“不管是哪一个”;whenever意为“无论任何时候”。

31.A 【解析】句法结构题。句意:他们不这么乐意把这幅画挂在房子里。as在so…as…结构中作连词,引出一个句子,其谓语动词常省略,即they are not SO willing as we are wiHin9…,to have this picture hung in the house作are not SO willin9的原因状语。

36.C【解析】本题考查形容词辨析。sufficient“足够的,充足的”;subsequent“随后的,后来的”;beneficial“有利的,有益的”;average“平均的”。句意:你认为他们有足够的食物给这里的人们吗?
37.A 【解析】本题考查固定搭配和定语从句用法。belong to“属于”,是固定搭配。 which是代词,可用介词修饰,而where是副词,不能用介词修饰。因此应选A。句意:在参军以前,他在他的村子里呆了很长时间。
38.B【解析】本题考查动词辨析。convey“传递,传送”;convince“确定,确信”:contrib-ute“捐赠,捐助”;conquer“征服”。句意:我们都知道,语言传递意思。

PartⅢIdentification
46.D【解析】考查反义疑问句。反义疑问句要求时态一致,句子时态是过去时,所以D错误,应改为didn’t。
47.B【解析】考查主谓一致。真正的主语是E—mail,根据主谓一致原则,谓语用单数,应该改为is。
48.C 【解析】考查固定用法。have sb d0后面要接动词原形,所以c错误,应改为install。
49.A【解析】考查复合名词。表达女性的时候要使用women,所以A错误。
50.A【解析】考查最高级。后面说第三课不是最难的一课,所以前面不能用最高级。
51.C 【解析】考查倒装句。本题中否定短语under no circumstances位于宾语从句句首,因此从句需要倒装,应改为may we,所以选C。
52.B 【解析】考查同位语从句。that引导同位语从句对thought进行解释和说明,不能用which。
53.A【解析】考查非谓语动词。本句的主语为the old man,与wait的逻辑主语一致,所以应该用现在分词,表示主动关系。

55.D【解析】考查代词一致。主语是today’S hospitals是复数,所以与之相比较的过去的医院也应该用复数结构,that为单数的代词,应该改为those。
