8、固定搭配+副词用法。快速解题空格所在局部For an hour or 1 是句子的时间状语，考生要判断选项中哪个副词代入能符合这一结构并使文意通顺。or so是固定搭配，用在数字之后，表示“左右，上下，for an hour or so指“一个小时左右，说明了时间，符合文意。因此选Aso。篇章分析文章第句总说，交待人物Annie、时间每周三下午、地点城镇、活动内容购物。具体讲述活动内容：首先购置所需物品句，然后到家具店“橱窗购物句。句间通过On Wednesday afternoonsFor an hour or soAnd thenanother hour时间链条，in the market

9、up and down between the stallsleave the marketfor the streetsfurniture shop地点链条实现衔接。空格设置此处考查so用作副词的一个惯用语or so，表示约指，例句：There were 20 people or so差不多有20个人。干扰项设置其他项都是常用的副词。else用于疑问句或nothing，something，everybody等之后，如：What else did he say?他还说了些什么？or else意为“要不然，否如此，是连词词组，引导句子，如：Hurry up or else youll be la

10、te.快点，否如此你就要迟到了。2. A takingB makingC fixingD keeping此题考核的知识点是：固定搭配。快速解题空格处填入的现在分词其宾语为a sharp lookout for，与上文两个分词短语looking at, buying并列，都是句子谓语动词的伴随状语，共同描述人物的购物行为。lookout来自动词短语look out留心寻觅；当心，提防，指“观察所，瞭望台人员，keep a lookout for sb/sth为固定短语，意为“注意，留心，它代入文中，指“敏锐地留意有时会出售的廉价货，符合文意，因此选D keeping。篇章分析句较长，主干为she

11、 would walk，副词短语up and down来回地与介词短语between the stalls穿梭于售货摊之间都是walk的状语，分别表示方式与地点；looking，buyingand keeping三个并列的分词短语是walkstalls的伴随动作。其中在keeping分词短语中又含有一个that引导的定语从句修饰bargains。空格设置此题考查动词短语，其中中心动词keep与宾语lookout都可设空。例句：The public should keep a lookout留心这种疾病的症状。干扰项设置其他项都是常用的简单动词，但不符合搭配。3. A buyB boughtC

12、buyingD to have bought此题考核的知识点是：独立结构。快速解题空格所在局部是“with+逻辑主语all the things she needed+_3_独立结构，在句中做状语，其中she needed是省略了关系代词that的定语从句，后置修饰things，即“她需要的所有东西。Abuy是原形动词，不用于独立结构中。Dto have bought是不定式的完成式，用在这里不符合文意。Bbought和Cbuying分别为过去分词和现在分词，由于things与buy是被动的逻辑关系，因此选B，即“她需要的所有东西都被买好之后。篇章分析句主干是she would leave t

13、he market for the streets of the town，句首with独立结构表示时间，to spend不定式短语做目的状语。leavefor表示“离开某地去。 空格设置此题考查由介词with引导的独立结构。其中逻辑主语all the things和过去分词bought之间为一个省略了关系代词的定语从句she needed，构成解答此题的最大障碍。干扰项设置其他项都设置为动词buy的不同形式，需要考生理清句子结构作出判断。4. A in a way在某种程度上，不完全地 B by the way顺便提一下，问一句C in the way以的方式D on the way即将去或

14、来；在路途中此题考核的知识点是：固定搭配辨析。快速解题由选项可知，空格处填入一个以way为中心名词的介词短语。根据文意，只有in the way代入文中文意通顺，即“以她最喜欢的方式再度过一小时，因此选C。篇章分析空格局部in a way是to spend的方式状语，其中she liked best是省略关系代词that的定语从句，后置修饰way。冒号后的现在分词短语looking in为the way的同位语，解释说明她再度过一小时的方式。空格设置way是含义丰富的简单词，也可构成许多固定搭配。它在文中取“方式，手段的意思，如：Infectious diseases can be acqui

15、red in several ways.传染病的感染途径有几种。因它在文中后边接有定语从句，故前用定冠词the限定修饰。in the way还可构成固定搭配，意为“妨碍，挡路，如：I left them alone, as I felt I was in the way.我让他们单独在一起，因为我觉得我碍他们的事。干扰项设置干扰项中都是way的常用固定搭配。例句：In a way it was one of our biggest mistakes.从某种意义上来说，这是我们所犯最大错误之一。Whats the time, by the way?顺便问一句，几点钟了？The letter sh

16、ould be on its way快到你那了。She stopped for breakfast on the way.她中途停下吃早点。5. A (look) behind朝后面看 B(look) round环视，四处看；转过头看C(look) back 回首，回顾 D(look) on旁观；把看作；以某种方式看待此题考核的知识点是：短语动词。快速解题空格所在局部是介词结构with a notice inviting，做后置定语修饰a new shop，现在分词短语inviting与notice之间是主动关系，说明通知的内容。空格处填入的副词与look构成短语动词，与walk in并列，在

17、invite sb to do sth结构中都充当invite的宾语补足语。这局部的含义是：商店贴出告示邀请所有人进来并且看看。既然是逛商店，应该是“四处看，Bround符合文意。篇章分析句承接上文，引出Annie一次具体的橱窗购物经历，下文都是对这次经历的具体讲述。句通过One Wednesday，a new shop特指时间和地点与第一段中On Wednesday afternoons，furniture shop泛指时间和地点的呼应，实现语段衔接。空格设置此题考查由look构成的短语动词，是常规考点。例句：People came out of their houses and looke

18、d around.人们走出家门四处查看。Lets look round游览市区吧。She looked round when she heard the noise.她听到响声，就回过头去看。干扰项设置其他项的副词都可与look搭配，其中look back与look on是固定短语。例句：to look back on your childhood回顾自己的童年。Passers-by simply looked on as he was attacked.他遭人袭击，路人只在一旁袖手旁观。Shes looked on视为这门学科的主要权威。They looked on his behavior

19、 with contempt.他们对他的行为不屑一顾。6. A doubted怀疑的，不能肯定的B wonderedC puzzled迷惑不解的D delighted高兴的，愉悦的此题考核的知识点是：上下文语义。快速解题空格处填入一个过去分词形式的形容词，做she的主语补足语，描述主语的状态，即当她Annie看到一把绿色的扶手椅时，她停下了，。注意该句实际表示的含义是she stopped and she was 6 。从下文我们可看出，这把椅子对Annie有吸引力，因此，此处表示的应该是她的一种积极的情绪，只有delighted符合文意。delighted也与短首句中delightful相呼

20、应。wonder可以表示“感到惊讶，惊讶，但它常用sb wonders主动形式，其过去分词较不常见。空格设置此题通过考查形容词实际考查了对上下文的理解。另外，这里也涉与形容词做主语补足语的语法知识。干扰项设置wonder可意为“想知道，琢磨，常用 about sth或接wh-从句；或指“感到惊讶，常用at sth或接that从句，如：She wondered 没想到自己竟会这样愚蠢。它对delight构成同向干扰，但用法错误。doubted与puzzled构成对delighted的反向干扰。7. AatBfor CwithDin此题考核的知识点是：介词用法。快速解题空格处填入的介词后接钱数le

21、ss than a pound做其宾语，表示椅子的价格。能够单独使用表示价格的只有for，因此选B。注意at也可以表示价格，但通常与sell，price定价等动词连用。 空格设置此题考查了for的特殊用法。for可意为in exchange for sth“换取，交换，如：Copies are available for two dollars each.两元一份。for表示交换还常与以下动词搭配：bid/charge/offer+钱数+for sth出价，竞标/收费，要价/出价，报价。干扰项设置其他项都是常用介词。at可以表示价格、比率、速度等，意为“以，在，如：old books sell

22、ing at ten cents each以每本一角的价格出售的旧书；The tickets are priced at为100元。with可以表示工具，意为“使用，以，借，如：Cut it with a knife.用刀把它切开。in可以表示使用的语言、材料等，如：I paid in用现金支付的。8. AWhyBWhenCHowDWhat此题考核的知识点是：感叹词。快速解题空格所在句子句描述了Annie看到广告后的心理活动。空格前是省略句，是对上文(This fine chair is yours for less than) a pound a week关于椅子价格的重复；空格后是结构完整

23、的句子，说明人物的所想。空格用逗号隔开，填入一个插入成分，独立于前后两局部的结构之外，对句意起补充说明的作用。选项是四个疑问词，可直接引导句子；但why还可以做感叹词，用于表示“惊讶、不耐烦等，常单独使用，用逗号与其他局部隔开，符合文中用法；它代入文中，明确Annie对椅子的低价格的惊叹，符合文意，因此选A。其他项都不符合文中语法要求，应排除。空格设置此题考查了why的熟词僻义。why根本用法是做疑问副词，询问原因。它也可充当关系副词，引导名词性从句或引导以the reason为先行词的定语从句。但它还有做感叹词的特殊用法，例句：Why, its easya child could do it

24、!哎呀，这容易得很，连小孩子都干得了！干扰项设置干扰项中都是常用的疑问词，并也都可做关联词引导从句。when是疑问副词，询问时间；或用作关系副词，引导名词性从句或定语从句，如：Sunday is the only day when I can relax.星期日是我唯一可以休息的日子。它也用做连词引导时间等状语从句，如：I loved history when时喜欢历史。how也是疑问副词，用以询问方式等；或做关系副词，引导名词性从句，如：Do you remember how the kids always loved going there?你记得孩子们总喜欢去那里吗？它有时也引导状语从句

25、，相当于however，如：Ill dress how I like in my own house.我在自己家里爱怎么穿就怎么穿。what是疑问代词，用于指物，意为“什么；或用作关系代词，引导名词性从句，如：What you need is a good meal.你需要的是一顿美餐。what可单独使用，表示提问没听见或没听懂时，或听到对方的话后问对方要什么，或表示惊讶或愤怒，如：Mummy！What？Im thirsty.“妈咪！“什么事？“我渴。It will cost $500.What?“这东西要花500元。“真的?9. A jump跳，跃B leap跳跃，跳越C laugh笑D w

26、onder想知道，琢磨此题考核的知识点是：上下文语义+动词辨析。快速解题空格处填入一个动词，在make sb do结构中做her的宾语补足语，说明肩膀上传来的声音使她Annie产生的行为。根据文意与常识，当Annie在专心致志地看广告语时，突然传来的声音应当使她“吓一跳，而不可能是“笑或“想，首先排除C，D两项。Ajump与Bleap都可指“跳的动作，但文中显然是比喻的说法，而并不一定是真的“跳起来，jump可指 “因吃惊、害怕或激动而猛地一动，突然一跳，更符合文意，因此选A。 空格设置此题考查了常用动词jump的熟词僻义。例句：Her heart jumped猛地一跳。干扰项设置其他项都是常

27、用动词且符合文中的语法要求。其中leap构成对jump的近义干扰。jump仅表示“跳的一般动作，即离开地面或物体外表的“跳，跃，也指“跳过，跃过，如：to jump into the air/the last hurdle跳到空中/跨越最后一个栏杆。leap强调to jump high or a long way“跳得高或远，如：The horse leapt 跃过了一道五英尺高的墙。二者都可指“快速移动，突然移动，leap可引申指“突然做某事，如：leap into action。二者还都引申为“猛涨，激增。10. A place地点，位置，区域；外表的某处，身体某处；座位；地位，资格，名额

28、B back背部，后部，背面，书等的末尾C side一边，一侧，侧面，边缘，肋；近旁，身边；一方，一派；方面D front正面，前面，前部，胸部；前线，阵线；外表，外表，掩护此题考核的知识点是：上下文语义+名词辨析。快速解题该句是说明Annie在听到有人说话后的反响：她转过头看着悄悄来到她的店员。空格处填入一个名词，说明店员所处的相对Annie的位置。根据文意，既然是转头看look round at，D“来到她前面可首先排除；店员应该是来到顾客的“身侧与他们交谈，A“来到她的位置，B“来到她的背后也不符合语境，可排除。因此C正确。side也与上文at her shoulder相呼应。空格设置此

29、题考查了side表示“身旁的特殊用法。例句：keep close to my side紧挨着我。干扰项设置其他项都是可以表示方位或身体部位的常用名词。全文翻译每周三的下午安妮会乘公交车到城里的市场上去买东西。大约一个小时，她会在货摊间走来走去，查看商品，时不时买点什么，同时敏锐地留心有时有售的廉价货。然后，买全了她所需要的所有物品后，她会离开市场，到城里的街道上去，再花上一小时做她最喜欢做的事：透过家具店的橱窗往里看。一个星期三下午，她发现一家新开的家具店，店里都是非常讨人喜欢的东西，店外贴着一X告示，邀请所有的人进去四处看看，但不必非要买什么东西。安妮在迈过门道前犹豫了一会，而几乎就在同时，

30、她充满欣喜地在门口处一把绿色的扶手椅前停住了。椅子上有一X卡片，上面写着：每周只需花不到一磅，这把精美的椅子就是你的了。底部是非常小的字体：现金价格89.5磅。一周一磅，嘿，她几乎可以节省每周的家用开支来为它买单，从而不会错过它！“您有什么需要的吗，女士？从肩膀上传来的一个声音使她吓了一跳。她转过头看着悄悄来到她身边的店员。“噢，嗯，没什么，她说，“我只是看看。“我们的展示间里有各种各样的椅子。如果你进来看看，你会找到适合你的东西。安妮担心自己会被说服买并不需要的东西，匆匆离开了商店。Section IIReading prehensionEach of the two passages be

32、tion. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field.

It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you

37、- but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will bee suspicious of your ability to hold any job.

But there is an increasing demand for peoplewho are able to take in great area at a glance, peoplewho perhaps do not know too much about any one field.句子主干为there is an increasing demand for people people，两个people后分别接有who引导的定语从句做后置定语。

39、翻译：但对那些一眼就能注意到很大区域、可能对任一领域都知之不多的人的需求也在增加。2. And these “generalists are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other peoples work, to begin it and judge it.句子主干为these “gener

40、alists are particularly needed，介词短语for positions in administration做状语，意为“对于管理职位而言。两个where引导的并列定语从句做后置定语修饰先行词positions in administration，where相当于in which(=positions in administration)。第一个where从句的主干为it is their job to see that ，其中that引导宾语从句。第二个where从句的谓语为并列的结构have to plan(have) to organize和(have) to b

It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.句子主干是It is your task to find out and to plan your career，其中it为形式主语，真正的主语为后面的不定式结构

43、。第二段：分别指出专家和通才这两类人才各自的所长、二者的关系、组织对其需求状况、并指出人们在工作培训期间的主要任务是发现自己属于哪一类人才。第三段：就人们对待第一份工作应采取的态度提出建议。四、试题具体分析11. There is an increasing demand for _.11.社会对_的需求在增加。A all round people in their own fieldsA自己所在领域内的多面手B people whose job is to organize other peoples workB 组织他人工作的人员C generalists whose educationa

44、l background is either technical or professionalC 具有技术或专业教育背景的通才D specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to othersD 主要为他人提供管理指导的专家分析此题考核的知识点是：事实细节题。第一段句指出，对“一眼即能看到很大X围，可能对任一领域都知之不多；能够看到森林而不是树木，能够做出总体判断的人的需求在日益增加。句将这一类人定义为通才。句指出，管理领域尤需通才来组织他人的工作。题干和B选项为该局部内容的概括，people 即

45、指通才。A选项错在in their own fields。all around people 是generalist的近义替换，但文中并没有将通才的了解X围限定为自己的领域。C、D选项混淆了通才和专家的描述而形成干扰。whose educational background is either technical or professional是对专家的描述第二段句；whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others是对通才的描述第一段末句。12.The specialist is _.12. 专家是_。A a

46、 man whose job is to train other peopleA 对他人进展培训者B a man who has been trained in more than one fieldsB 在不只一个领域受过培训者C a man who can see the forest rather than the treesC 能见森林而非树木者D a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional mattersD 关注对象主要为技术或专业问题者分析此题考核的知识点是：概念细节题。第二段句指出，专家的主要关注对象是

47、技术和工具，他受过恰当的技术或专业教育。D选项是对这两句内容的概括，为正确选项。A选项利用动词train作为干扰，专家是“受过培训者而非“培训他人者。B编造了文中没有的信息in more than one fields，故排除。C选项X冠李戴，该内容为对通才的描述。13. The administrator is _.13. 管理者是_A a “trained man who is more a specialist than a generalistA 更倾向于是受过良好培训的专家而非通才B a man who sees the trees as well as the forestB 既能

48、看到树木又能看到森林的人C a man who is very strong in the humanitiesC 非常擅长人文学科者D a man who is an “educated specialistD 受过良好教育的专家分析 此题考核的知识点：概念细节题。第二段句指出了通才，尤其是管理者的工作对象和工作内容。紧接着句指出，人文学科是他最坚强的基石。C选项为句的同义改写，为正确选项。A、D选项反向干扰，第二段句明确指出，鲜有专家能够胜任管理者。从第二段的描述可知，管理者更倾向于是通才，B选项偷梁换柱，将通才的特点see the forest rather than the trees

49、改为see the trees as well as the forest。14. During your training period, it is important_.14. 在你的培训期间，_非常重要。A to try to be a generalistA 努力成为通才B to choose a profitable jobB 选择高收益的工作C to find an organization which fits youC 选择适合你的机构D to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalistD 决定你

50、是适合做专家还是通才分析 此题考核的知识点是：作者观点细节题。根据题干的时间关键词during your training period定位到第二段末句。该句指出，在培训期间，你的任务是从两类工作two kinds of jobs中找到适合你的一种，并作出相应的职业规划。根据上文可知，two kinds of jobs即指“专家和“通才。故D选项正确。A与文义不符，B、C文中未提与。15. A mans first job _.15. 一个人的第一份工作_。A is never the right job for himA 永远不会是适合他的工作B should not be regarded

51、 as his final jobB 不应该被看做他的最后一份工作C should not be changed or people will bee suspicious of his ability to hold any jobC 不应更换，否如此人们会对他保住工作的能力产生怀疑D is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobD 从根本上讲是使其适合最终工作的一次机会分析此题考核的知识点是：作者观点细节题根据题干关键词first job定位到文章最后一段。该段句指出，不要把你的第一份工作看做最后一份工作，B为正确

52、选项。该段句指出，你的第一份工作有可能恰好是适合你的工作，A选项不合文义。C选项偷梁换柱，将句中should not change jobs constantly改为should not change your first job，从而与原文产生意义偏差。D选项错在final job。句指出，第一份工作是一个认识自己和自己工作专长的机会，而不是使自己适合最终工作的机会。五、全文翻译大量职业在日益强调专业性。这类职业常见于工程、生产、统计、教学领域。但对那些一眼就能注意到很大区域、可能对任一领域都知之不多的人的需求也在增加。换言之，社会需要那些能够看到森林而非树木、能够做出总体判断的人。我们可以

53、称这些人为“通才。管理职位尤其需要这样的“通才，在管理职位上“通才的职责是：确保他人完成工作，必须为他人制定计划，组织他人的工作，发起工作且对工作做出评判。专家精通某一领域；他关注的是技术和工具。他是“受过良好训练者；他有良好的技术或专业教育背景。通才，尤其是管理者，与人打交道；他关注的是领导、规划与方向设定。他是“受过良好教育者；人文学科是其最坚强的基石。鲜有专家能够胜任管理者。同样，优秀的通才很少同时也是某一特定领域的优秀专家。任何组织都同时需要这两种人，虽然组织不同，需求的比例亦不同。你的任务是在训练期间从两种工作中发现适合自己的那一种，并对自己的职业作出相应的规划。你的第一份工作可能恰

54、好是适合你的工作但这纯属巧合。当然，你不应频繁更换工作，否如此人们将怀疑你是否有能力保住一份工作。同时，你也一定不要把第一份工作看做最后一份工作；它主要是一份培训工作，一个认识自己和自己工作专长的机会。Text 2At the bottom of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and, until recent times, unknown to man. It is a great land mass with mountain ranges whose extent and elevation

55、are still uncertain. Much of the continent is a plete blank on our maps. Man has explored, on foot, less than one per cent of its area. Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions. The Arctic is an ocean, covered with drifting packed ice and hemmed in by the land masses of Europe, Asia,

56、 and North America. The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia bined, centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed water areas of the world - the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.The continental ice sheet is more than two miles high in its

57、centre, thus, the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated than it is over the Arctic regions.

60、ost as large as Europe and Australia bined, centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed water areas of the world - the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.句子的主干为The Antarctic is a continent，名词continent后为三个并列的后置定语almost as large as，(which is) centered roughly on 和(whic

This cold air current from the land is so forceful thatit makes the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and renders unlivable those regions whose counterparts at the opposite end of the globe are inhabited.句子的

62、主干是This cold air current from the land is so forceful that ，so that引导结果状语从句。that从句的主干是it makes the nearby seas the stormiest and renders those regions unlivable，谓语动词make和render都接有“宾语+形容词宾补的结构。render所接结构中，宾补unlivable提前到宾语those regions前，因为该宾语后接有较长的后置定语，即whose引导的定语从句。翻译：来自大陆的冷气流的强度足以让附近的海洋成为世界上暴风雪最为肆虐的地方，使南极区域成为无法居住的地区，而在地球另一端同样的位置却有人居住。三、文章结构分析本文是一篇地理方面的说明文。文章通过与北极地区做比照，介绍了南极地区的地理状况、人类对其探索程度、该地区的气候与不可居住性。第一段：介绍南极地区的地理状况，与人类对其探索程度。
