2、、客观地检查陈述，并进行新的实验来_它们”可知，新的实验一般都是用来证实一些结果或者发现，所以B项符合句意。【干扰项排除】A、C、D项不符合句意。【句意】成功的科学家总是仔细地、客观地检查陈述，并进行新的实验来验证它们。2. 单选题The city was unprepared when the _ danger of hurricanes became reality, bringing destructive waves that _ everything in their path.问题1选项A.ambivalentdetractedB.profoundassuagedC.colloqu

3、ialsupplantedD.hypotheticalobliterated【答案】D【解析】【选项释义】A. ambivalentdetracted矛盾的，好恶相克的转移，使分心 B. profoundassuaged深厚的平息，缓和C. colloquialsupplanted通俗的，口语的代替，排挤掉 D. hypotheticalobliterated假设的，爱猜想的消灭，冲刷【答案】D【考查点】形容词和动词辨析。【解题思路】第一个空格根据后面的became reality（成为现实）可知，hypothetical符合句意；第二个空格根据destructive waves（毁灭性的波涛

4、）可知，_ everything in their path表示的是“冲刷着道路上的一切”。因此，该题选择D项符合句意。【干扰项排除】A、B、C项不符合句意。【句意】当人们假设的飓风的危险变为现实时，这座城市还没有做好准备，毁灭性的波涛冲刷着他们道路上的一切。3. 单选题_ that Barton had been promoted, his friends came to congratulate him.问题1选项A.Having been heardB.Being heardC.To have heardD.Having heard【答案】D【解析】【选项释义】A. Having bee

5、n heard听说 B. Being heard听说C. To have heard听说 D. Having heard听说【答案】D【考查点】非谓语动词。【解题思路】分析句子结构可知，空格处要填入一个非谓语动词，逻辑主语为his friends（他的朋友），和动词hear之间是主动的关系，所以要用现在分词形式；而主句谓语动词是came，为一般过去时，hear这个动作应该是发生在came之前，所以要用现在完成时。故该题选择D项。【干扰项排除】A、B项为被动语态，不符合主句逻辑；C项表目的或将来，不符合句意。【句意】听说巴顿被提升了，朋友们都来祝贺他。4. 单选题There were inter

6、vals when the sun broke through the clouds, because the showers were intermittent.问题1选项A.slightB.periodicC.enduringD.temporary【答案】B【解析】【选项释义】A. slight轻微的，少量的 B. periodic间发性的，周期性的C. enduring持久的，能忍受的 D. temporary暂时的，临时的【答案】B【考查点】形容词辨析。【解题思路】根据前半句句意“太阳偶尔会冲破云层”，可以推测划线单词intermittent应该表示“间歇性的，断断续续的”；B选项词义

7、与划线单词最为接近，故本题正确答案为B选项。【干扰项排除】A、C、D项与划线单词的意思不符合。【句意】因为阵雨是断断续续的，所以太阳偶尔会冲破云层。5. 单选题The _ was greatest when the pitcher paused before delivering the last strike.问题1选项A.gameB.crowdC.sportsmanshipD.tension【答案】D【解析】【选项释义】A. game游戏；比赛 B. crowd人群C. sportsmanship体育精神 D. tension拉力；紧张【答案】D【考查点】名词辨析。【解题思路】根据后半句的

8、意思“当投手在投出最后一个好球前停顿时”可推测，人们紧张的气氛是最高的，因此空格处填入D项恰当。【干扰项排除】A、B、C项不符合句意。【句意】当投手在投出最后一个好球前停顿时，紧张的气氛达到了顶点。6. 单选题Its a pity that she mars the account of what happened by _ her own views too much.问题1选项A.derailingB.falsifyingC.coweringD.obtruding【答案】D【解析】【选项释义】A. derailing（火车）出轨，脱轨 B. falsifying篡改；伪造（文字记录、信息）

9、C. cowering（因恐惧而）蜷缩，畏缩 D. obtruding强行闯入；强加于人【答案】D【考查点】动词辨析。【解题思路】由关键信息she mars the account of what happened（她破坏了对所发生事情的叙述），结合选项词义可知，by _ her own views too much表达的意思是“通过强加自己的观点给别人”。因此，该题选择D项。【干扰项排除】A、B、C项不符合句意。【句意】遗憾的是，她把自己的观点过多地强加于人，歪曲了对所发生事情的叙述。7. 单选题The Welsh language has always been the ultimate

27、成联合王国的各个国家之间的平衡（restore the balance within the union of nations making up the United Kingdom）”可知，权力下放的目的是为了维持各个国家之间的平衡，C项“在国家之间创造一个更好的平等状况”表述符合题意。【干扰项排除】A项“维持目前在各国之间的地位”，根据解题思路，由restore可推断，成员国原来的关系已经被破坏，所以该项属于曲解原文；B项“减少英格兰的立法权”，由第二段最后一句“托尼布莱尔实施了从威斯敏斯特移交部分立法权的计划，目的是给俱乐部的其他成员苏格兰、北爱尔兰和威尔士更大的发言权”可知，部分立法

28、权的转移旨在给其他成员更大的话语权，该项与原文相反，属于反向干扰；D项“给联盟中所有的国家更多的发言权”，由C项解题思路可知，原文只提到会赋予苏格兰、北爱尔兰、威尔士更大发言权，并非所有成员国，该项曲解原文。2.【选项释义】2. The word “centrifugal” in the second paragraph means _. 2. 第二段中的“centrifugal”的意思是_。A. separatist A. 分离主义者的B. conventional B. 传统的C. feudal C. 封建制度的D. political D. 政治的【答案】A【考查点】词汇推测题。【解题思

29、路】根据关键词centrifugal定位至第二段最后一句“托尼布莱尔实施了从威斯敏斯特移交部分立法权的计划，目的是给俱乐部的其他成员苏格兰、北爱尔兰和威尔士更大的发言权，并且对抗似乎威胁到联盟理念的centrifugal力量”，从中可知，要对抗这种会威胁到联盟理念的力量，说明这种力量会分散成员国之间的联合，所以推测centrifugal表示“分离的，分散的”，A选项“分离主义者的”词义与之意思相近。因此，该题选择A项。【干扰项排除】B项“传统的”、C项“封建制度的”和D项“政治的”由解题思路可知，这三项属于曲解原文。3.【选项释义】3. Wales is different from Scot

30、land in all the following aspects EXCEPT _. 3. 除了_，威尔士在以下方面都与苏格兰不同。A. peoples desire for devolution A. 人民对权力下放的渴望B. locals turnout for the voting B. 当地选民的投票率C. powers of the legislative body C. 立法机构的权力D. status of the national language D. 国家语言的地位【答案】D【考查点】细节事实题。【解题思路】根据文章第一段最后一句“威尔士语现在是欧洲最成功的地方语言之一，

31、在这个国家的300万人口中，有50多万人讲威尔士语”可知，虽然原文第一段提到了威尔士语言的成功性，但是文中并没有提到苏格兰语言的地位，这两者没有可比性，D项“国家语言的地位”属于无中生有，符合题干。因此，该题选择D项。【干扰项排除】A项“人民对权力下放的渴望”，根据第三段前两句“威尔士人对权力下放并不热心。苏格兰人以压倒性优势投票支持成立议会，而威尔士议会的投票仅以不到1%的得票率勉强通过，投票率不到25%。”可知，这两个国家人民对权利下放态度截然不同，该项符合原文，属于反向干扰；B项“当地选民的投票率”，根据A项解题思路可知，威尔士的投票率不到25%，而苏格兰 却以压倒性的投票率支持成立议会

32、，可见这两个国家的选民投票率不同，该项属于反向干扰；C项“立法机构的权力”，根据第三段第五句“与爱丁堡不同，威尔士不能制定法律”可知，爱丁堡属于苏格兰，也就是说苏格兰和威尔士的立法机构的制定法律的权力不同，该项也符合原文，属于反向干扰。4.【选项释义】4. Which of the following is NOT cited as an example of the resurgence of Welsh national identity? 4. 以下哪一项没有被引用作为威尔士民族身份复苏的例子？A. Welsh has witnessed a revival as a national

33、language. A. 威尔士语见证了它作为一种全国性语言的复兴。B. Poverty-relief funds have come from the European Union. B. 扶贫资金来自欧盟。C. A Welsh national airline is currently in operation. C. 威尔士国家航空公司目前正在运营。D. The national symbol has become a familiar sight. D. 这个国家的象征已成为人们熟悉的景象。【答案】B【考查点】细节事实题。【解题思路】根据第三段倒数第二句“与此同时，来自欧盟的近200万

34、美元赠款将用于解决贫困问题”可知，原文虽然提到威尔士从欧盟拿到将近200万美元解决贫困问题，但并不表明它的民族身份得到复苏，由此可判断本题选择B项“扶贫资金来自欧盟”。【干扰项排除】A项“威尔士语见证了它作为一种全国性语言的复兴”，根据第二段第一句“这种语言的复兴，尤其是在年轻人中，是席卷这个自豪的小国的民族身份复兴的一部分”可知，语言的复兴，是威尔士民族认同感复兴的一部分，该项符合原文，属于反向干扰；C项“威尔士国家航空公司目前正在运营”，根据第四段第四句“威尔士现在拥有一家国家航空公司”，结合本段第一句提到“报纸和杂志上充斥着伟大的威尔士男人和女人的故事，提升了他们的自尊”可知，该项是提升

35、威尔士人自尊的例子，符合原文，属于反向干扰；D项“这个国家的象征已成为人们熟悉的景象”，根据第四段最后一句“自亚瑟王时代以来，红龙就一直是这个国家的象征，它无处不在，印在T恤、橄榄球运动衫上，甚至手机外壳上”可知，威尔士的象征红龙也变得随处可见，该项符合原文，属于反向干扰。5.【选项释义】5. According to Dyfan Jones what has changed is _. 5. 根据Dyfan Jones的说法，改变的是_。A. peoples mentality A. 人们的心态B. pop culture B. 流行文化C. towns appearance C. 城市外貌

36、D. possibilities for the people D. 人民的可能性【答案】A【考查点】推理判断题。【解题思路】根据关键信息what has changed可以定位至文章最后一段，第一句提到“缺乏自信几乎是一种遗传倾向”，可知，Dyfan Jones认为威尔士人曾经普遍缺乏自信；而最后一句提到“我们曾经这样想；我们什么都做不了，我们只是威尔士人；现在，我认为这种情况正在改变”可知，Dyfan Jones认为现在威尔士人的心态已经发生了变化，所以改变的是人们的心态，该题选择A项“人们的心态”。【干扰项排除】B项“流行文化”和C项“城市外貌”在原文均未提及，属于无中生有；D项“人民的

37、可能性”，根据最后一段倒数第二句“他的威尔士身份和他在英语、全球青年文化和新联邦欧洲的成员身份一样舒适，Dyfan像他的同龄人一样，在一种十年前无法想象的可能性中成长”可知，现在的年轻人不再认为自己只是什么也做不了的威尔士人，他们认为自己有更多的可能性，也是说明人们的心态发生了变化，该项曲解原文。8. 翻译题Vacations are more necessary now than before because today the average life is less well-rounded and has become increasingly compartmentalized. I

38、 suppose the idea of vacations, as we conceive it, must be incomprehensible to primitive peoples. Rest of some kind has of course always been a part of the rhythm of human life, but earlier ages did not find it necessary to organize it in the way that modern man has done. Holidays and feast days wer

39、e sufficient.With modern mans increasing tensions, with the stultifying quality of so much of his work, this break in the years routine became steadily more necessary. Vacations became mandatory for the purpose of renewal and repair. And so it came about that in the United States, the most self-indu

40、lgent of nations, the most tense and compartmentalized, vacations have come to take a predominant place in domestic conversation.【答案】现在度假比以前更有必要，因为现在一般人的生活不再像以前那样丰富多彩，而且变得越来越单调。我想原始人肯定不理解我们现在所想的休假。当然，某种方式的休息一直是人类生活节奏的一部分，但社会早期并不认为有必要像现代人那样安排休假。节日足以满足人们的需要。随着现代人的情绪日益紧张，加之工作要求高，强度大，所以在一年的日常工作中进行休假变得越来

41、越有必要。休假成为调节和修整心态的必要手段。因此，在美国这个最紧张单调的国家里，度假已经成为家庭闲谈的主要话题。9. 单选题The Welsh language has always been the ultimate market of Welsh identity, but a generation ago it looked as if Welsh would go the way of Manx, once widely spoken on the Isle of Man but now extinct.

57、】1.【选项释义】1. According to the passage, devolution was mainly meant to _. 1. 根据这篇文章，权力下放主要是为了_。A. maintain the present status among the nations A. 维持目前在各国之间的地位B. reduce legislative powers of England B. 减少英格兰的立法权C. create a better state of equality among the nations C. 在国家之间创造一个更好的平等状况D. grant more say

58、 to all the nations in the union D. 给联盟中所有的国家更多的发言权【答案】C【考查点】细节事实题。【解题思路】根据关键词devolution定位至第二段第三句“权力下放背后的理念是恢复组成联合王国的各个国家之间的平衡（restore the balance within the union of nations making up the United Kingdom）”可知，权力下放的目的是为了维持各个国家之间的平衡，C项“在国家之间创造一个更好的平等状况”表述符合题意。【干扰项排除】A项“维持目前在各国之间的地位”，根据解题思路，由restore可推断，

59、成员国原来的关系已经被破坏，所以该项属于曲解原文；B项“减少英格兰的立法权”，由第二段最后一句“托尼布莱尔实施了从威斯敏斯特移交部分立法权的计划，目的是给俱乐部的其他成员苏格兰、北爱尔兰和威尔士更大的发言权”可知，部分立法权的转移旨在给其他成员更大的话语权，该项与原文相反，属于反向干扰；D项“给联盟中所有的国家更多的发言权”，由C项解题思路可知，原文只提到会赋予苏格兰、北爱尔兰、威尔士更大发言权，并非所有成员国，该项曲解原文。2.【选项释义】2. The word “centrifugal” in the second paragraph means _. 2. 第二段中的“centrifug

60、al”的意思是_。A. separatist A. 分离主义者的B. conventional B. 传统的C. feudal C. 封建制度的D. political D. 政治的【答案】A【考查点】词汇推测题。【解题思路】根据关键词centrifugal定位至第二段最后一句“托尼布莱尔实施了从威斯敏斯特移交部分立法权的计划，目的是给俱乐部的其他成员苏格兰、北爱尔兰和威尔士更大的发言权，并且对抗似乎威胁到联盟理念的centrifugal力量”，从中可知，要对抗这种会威胁到联盟理念的力量，说明这种力量会分散成员国之间的联合，所以推测centrifugal表示“分离的，分散的”，A选项“分离主义

61、者的”词义与之意思相近。因此，该题选择A项。【干扰项排除】B项“传统的”、C项“封建制度的”和D项“政治的”由解题思路可知，这三项属于曲解原文。3.【选项释义】3. Wales is different from Scotland in all the following aspects EXCEPT _. 3. 除了_，威尔士在以下方面都与苏格兰不同。A. peoples desire for devolution A. 人民对权力下放的渴望B. locals turnout for the voting B. 当地选民的投票率C. powers of the legislative bod

62、y C. 立法机构的权力D. status of the national language D. 国家语言的地位【答案】D【考查点】细节事实题。【解题思路】根据文章第一段最后一句“威尔士语现在是欧洲最成功的地方语言之一，在这个国家的300万人口中，有50多万人讲威尔士语”可知，虽然原文第一段提到了威尔士语言的成功性，但是文中并没有提到苏格兰语言的地位，这两者没有可比性，D项“国家语言的地位”属于无中生有，符合题干。因此，该题选择D项。【干扰项排除】A项“人民对权力下放的渴望”，根据第三段前两句“威尔士人对权力下放并不热心。苏格兰人以压倒性优势投票支持成立议会，而威尔士议会的投票仅以不到1%的得票率勉强通过，投票率不到25%。”可知，这两个国家人民对权利下放态度截然不同，该项符合原文，属于反向干扰；B项“当地选民的投票率”，根据A项解题思路可知，威尔士的投票率不到25%，而苏格兰 却以压倒性的投票率支持成立议会，可见这两个国家的选民投票率不同，该项属于反向干扰；C项“立法机构的权力”，根据第三段第五句“与爱丁堡不同，威尔士不能制定法律”可知，爱丁堡属于苏格兰，也就是说苏格兰和威尔士的立法机构的制定法律的权力不同，该项也符合原文，属于反向干扰。4.【选项释义】4. Which of the following is NOT cited
