They regard television purely（1）entertainment, resent programs that put（2）on them and are surprised that anybody should（3）the medium seriously. Far from being over-excited by programs, they a

3、re mildly（4）with the whole thing. These are the main conclusions from a new study of children and television. The author, Cardiac Cullingford （5）that the modern child is a（6）viewer. The study suggests that there is little（7）in the later hours. All 11-year-olds have watched programs after midnight.Ap

4、art from the obvious waste of time（8）, it seems that all this viewing has little effect. Cullingford says that children can recall few details. They can remember exactly which programs they have seen but they can（9）explain the elements of a particular plot. Recall was in “（10）proportion to the amoun

5、t they had watched”. It is precisely because television,（11）a teacher, demands so little attention and response（12）children like it, argues Cullingford. Programs seeking to（13）serious messages are strongly disliked.（14）people who frequently talk on screen. What children like most are the advertiseme

6、nts. They see them as short programs（15）their own right and particularly enjoy humorous presentation. But again, they（16）strongly against high-pressure advertisements that attempt openly to（17）them.In addition, children are not（18）involved in the programs. If they admire the stars, it is because the

7、 actors lead glamorous lives and earn a lot of money,（19）their fictional skills with fast cars and shooting villains. Children are perfectly（20）the functions of advertisements. And says Cullingford, educational television is probably least successful of all in imparting attitudes or information.问题1选

11、题:D第5题:B第6题:A第7题:D第8题:B第9题:A第10题:B第11题:C第12题:B第13题:A第14题:B第15题:A第16题:B第17题:A第18题:B第19题:D第20题:A【解析】1.考查固定搭配。regard.as意为“将视为”。原文指的是孩子们纯粹地将电视视为娱乐，选项B符合原文。2.考查名词辨析。A选项reform“改革，改良”；B选项comment“评论，意见”；C选项call“拜访”；D选项demand“要求，需求”。根据句意“他们讨厌那些对他们提出要求的节目”，选项D符合语境。3.考查固定搭配。take seriously意为“重视，认真对待”，原文指的是认真对待媒

12、体。所以选项C符合语境。4.考查形容词辨析。A选项gratified“满意的”；B选项acquainted“熟识的”；C选项infected“受感染的”；D选项bored“无聊的，烦人的”。根据前面的“over-excited”可知，后面应填入与之意思相反的词。句意“他们非但没有对节目过于兴奋，反而对整个节目有点厌烦。”选项D最符合语境。5.考查动词辨析。A选项conform“遵守，符合”；B选项confirm“确认，证实”；C选项confess“承认，坦白，忏悔”；D选项refute“反驳”。结合上下文的语境可知，前面提出结论，作者Cardiac Cullingford加以证实，所以选项B符

13、合语境。6.考查上下文语义。根据本段的最后一句“所有11岁的孩子都在午夜之后看节目。”由此可推断，孩子们应该是专用的观众。A选项dedicated“专用的，专注的”；B选项sincere“真诚的”；C选项preoccupied“全神贯注的”；D选项choosy“挑剔的”。选项A符合语境，选项C用在此处不太恰当。7.考查固定用法。There is little point意为“做某事没有多少意义”。所以选项D正确。8.考查上下文语义。A选项resolved“解决，决定”；B选项involved“涉及，包含”；C选项revived“复活，再生”；D选项revolved“旋转”。根据句意“除了涉及到

14、明显的时间浪费，收看电视等所有这些似乎没有什么影响。”选项B符合语境。9.考查上下文语境。A选项rarely“很少地”；B选项fairly“相当地”；C选项abundantly“丰富地，大量地”；D选项fully“充分地”。根据上文Cullingford提及的“孩子们能回忆起的细节很少”可知，这里也应该是“很少能解释某个特定情节的元素”。所以选项A正确。10.考查形容词辨析。A选项diverse“不同的，多样的”；B选项reverse“相反的，颠倒的”；C选项immerse“沉浸，陷入”；D选项direct“直接的”。结合上下文的内容可知，他们（孩子们）的回忆“与观看的数量成反比”，也就是前面

15、所说的，看得越多，记得越少。所以选项B正确。11.考查上下文语义。根据原文可知，这里是将电视和老师进行对比，说明电视不像老师那样，只需要很少的关注和回忆。所以选项C符合语境。12.考查固定句型。sothat意为“太以至于”，所以选项B正确。13.考查词组辨析。A选项put over“说明，解释，被接受”；B选项carry over“继续存在”；C选项see over“检查，察看”；D选项take over“接管，接收”。根据句意可知，这里是指试图传递严肃信息的节目非常不受欢迎，也就是说，节目试图使严肃的信息被大家所接受，所以选项A符合语境。14.考查so的用法。根据句意可知，这里指的是“经常在

16、屏幕上讲话的人也是如此。”表示“也一样，也是如此”用“so+系动词/助动词/情态动词+主语”，所以选项B正确。15.考查固定搭配。in ones own right意为“本身”，所以选项A正确。16.考查动词辨析。A选项weigh“权衡，考虑”；B选项react“作出反应”；C选项discriminate“歧视，辨别”；D选项proceed“开始，继续进行”。根据句意可知，他们应该是强烈反对那些影响他们的广告，react against意为“反对，反抗”，选项B符合语境。17.考查固定用法。attempt to do意为“尝试去做某事”，不定式to后面接动词原形，所以选项A正确。18.考查副词

17、辨析。A选项indifferently“冷淡地，漠不关心地”；B选项emotionally“令人激动地，情绪冲动地”；C选项intellectually“智力上，理智地”；D选项facilely“轻快地”。根据句意“他们（孩子们）并没有情绪激动地牵涉进这些节目中。”选项B符合语境。19.考查because的用法。句意“他们羡慕明星，是因为演员们过着光鲜亮丽的生活，能赚很多钱，而不是因为他们拥有赛车和拍摄反派角色的虚构技能。”A选项mainly because“主要是因为”；B选项partly because“部分是因为”；C选项not because“不是因为”；D选项not because

18、of“不是因为”。选项C和选项D的区别在于，because后面接句子，because of后面接短语。填空处后面是短语而不是完整的句子，所以只能选D。20.考查词组辨析。A选项clear about“清楚，明白”；B选项clear up“整理，打扫”；C选项clear away“清除，收拾，消失”；D选项clear of“清除，扫清”。根据句意“孩子们非常清楚广告的作用。”选项A符合语境。3. 单选题In the film we saw last night, the hero（ ）his wife to death with his sword.问题1选项A.throatB.thrustC.

19、trustD.thread【答案】B【解析】考查形近异义动词辨析。A选项throat“用嗓音说”；B选项thrust“插入，猛刺”；C选项trust“信任”；D选项thread“通过，穿线于”。句意：在我们昨晚看的电影中，英雄用剑刺死了他的妻子。选项B符合语境。4. 单选题Niagara is an Indian word which means “roaring water”. Indeed, the roar of the falling water of Niagara can be heard（1）a distance of 25 kms. Imagine（2）of water flo

29、哮声在25公里的范围内就能听到。”在的距离内，用介词within，所以选项A正确。2.考查逻辑连词。much of后面接可数名词单数；没有mass of的表达；a great number of后只能接可数名词复数；a mass of后既可以接可数名词复数，也可以接不可数名词，所以选项D正确。3.考查感叹句的用法。选项A和C不能引导感叹句，所以首先排除。What和How引导感叹句的用法分别为：What+形容词+名词+主语+谓语；How+形容词/副词+主语+谓语。这里是形容词tremendous +名词power，所以应该使用what，选项B正确。4.考查固定搭配。A选项Sometimes“有时

30、，间或”；B选项Many times“多次”；C选项Much time“很多时间”；D选项Some time“一段时间”。some time ago意为“不久前”。选项D符合语境。5.考查动词辨析。A选项as“如同，像一样”，用法为asas；B选项as if “似乎，好像”；C选项like“像一样”；D选项likely“很可能”。根据句意“它像一艘玩具船一样飞快地顺河而下。”只有选项C符合语境。6.考查非谓语结构。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词drop，所以填空处应填非谓语结构；其次根据句意“到达瀑布后，船掉进了翻涌的水中，再也没有出现”可知，这里表示的是将来不会发生的事情，所以应使用不定

31、式表将来，选项A正确。7.考查介词辨析。根据句意“有些人想通过游泳渡过尼亚加拉河最危险的部分而出名。”这里指通过某种方法，用介词by，所以选项B正确。8.考查动词辨析。A选项attract“吸引，引起”；B选项draw“拖，拉，吸引”；C选项cause“导致，造成”；D选项pull“拉”。根据原文可知，韦伯船长说他将尝试游过尼亚加拉河，这吸引了很多人的注意力。强调吸引注意力用draw，所以选项B更恰当。9.考查固定搭配。take a plunge意为“一头扎进”，所以选项D正确。10.考查固定搭配。根据句意“他跳入水中使许多人充满了恐惧。”filled with意为“使充满”，所以选项C正确。

32、11.考查固定搭配。dead silence意为“死一般的寂静”。所以选项A正确。12.考查固定搭配。be fixed on意为“盯着”。句意“千万双眼睛盯着河面”，所以选项C正确。13.考查固定用法和被动语态。prevent sb. from doing sth.意为“阻止某人做某事”。再根据语境可知，这里应使用被动语态，所以选项A正确。14.考查被动语态。根据句意“桶被关上，然后被扔进了水里”，这里表示的是被动语态，前面已有be动词was，填空处只需填入过去分词即可，所以选项C正确。15.考查近义词辨析。A选项power“力量，能力”，多指人或国家甚至是某个机构的权力、势力或影响力；B选项

33、strength“力量，力气”，多指人的气力或物体的强度；C选项force“力量，武力，魄力”，多指暴力或促使物体运动的势力；D选项capacity“能力”。根据句意可知，这里指的是桶被水巨大的力量打翻了。这股力量是暴力的，并且能够促使物体运动，所以选项C更符合语境。16.考查上下文语义。根据句意可知，当木桶终于被抓到并打开时，泰勒小姐活着出来了，但她的眼睛里充满了恐惧。表示转折并且能够连接两个句子，只有选项D符合要求。17.考查被动语态。see sb./sth. doing意为“看见正在”，再根据句意可知，这里表示绳索是被人放上去的，表示被动语态，所以选项A正确。18.考查词组辨析。A选项s

34、tep across“跨过”；B选项step out onto“走出去再踩上去”；C选项step along“走开”；D选项step on“踩上，踏上”。根据原文可知，这里是指这个人迈出一步然后踏上了绳索，所以选项B更符合语境。19.考查固定搭配。by name放在名字后面表示“名叫，名字是”。选项C正确。20.考查语态。根据句意可知，这里表示的是主动语态，并且前面是介词at，所以应使用动名词形式，并且是主动语态，只有选项B符合要求。5. 单选题Each of them had a different（ ）of what actually happened, but hers was far

35、more believable.问题1选项A.messageB.theoryC.versionD.comment【答案】C【解析】考查名词辨析。A选项message“消息”；B选项theory“理论，原理”；C选项version“版本，说法”；D选项comment“评论，意见”。句意：每个人对实际发生的事情都有不同的说法，但她的说法更可信。选项C符合语境。6. 单选题Sometimes artists find it hard for their work to win popular（ ）.问题1选项A.welcomeB.applauseC.appetiteD.appreciation【答案

In this sense, every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us.To the profession

38、al anthropologist, there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages.People once thought of the languages of backward groups as savage, undeveloped forms of speech, consisting largely of grunts and groa

39、ns. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of “backward” languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, del

40、icate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas. They fall behind our Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which reflects the objects and activities known to th

41、eir speakers. Even in this department, however, two things are to be noted: 1. All languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. 2. The objects a

42、nd activities requiring names and distinctions in “backward” languages, while different from ours, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. An accidental language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness (“this” and “that”); some languages of the American Indians distinguish be

43、tween what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed, or removed from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in the future.This study of language, in turn, casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all culture are to be viewed independently, and without ideas of rank

44、or hierarchy.1.The language of uncivilized groups as compared to Western languages are limited in（ ）.2.The author says that professional linguists recognize that（ ）.3.The article states that grunt-and-groan forms of speech are found（ ）.4.According to the author, languages, whether civilized or not,

45、have（ ）.5.Which of the following is implied but not articulated in the passage?问题1选项A.sound patternsB.vocabulariesC.grammatical structuresD.both A and B问题2选项A.Western languages are superior to Eastern languagesB.All languages came from grunts and groansC.The hierarchy of languages is difficult to un

46、derstandD.There is no hierarchy of languages问题3选项A.nowhere todayB.among the Australian aboriginesC.among Eastern culturesD.among people speaking “backward” languages问题4选项A.the potential for expanding vocabularyB.their own sound patternsC.an ability to transfer ideasD.grammatical structures问题5选项A.The

47、 study of languages has discredited anthropological studies.B.The study of language has reinforced anthropologists in their view that there is no hierarchy among cultures.C.The study of language is the same as the study of anthropologists.D.The study of languages casts a new light upon the claim of

48、anthropologists.【答案】第1题:B第2题:D第3题:A第4题:A第5题:B【解析】1.细节事实题。根据第三段的第四句“They fall behind our Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which reflects the objects and activities known to the

49、ir speakers. 它们（不文明群体的语言）落后于我们的西方语言，通常不是在完全满足所有语言所需要的声音模式或语法结构上，而只是在反映说话者所知道的对象和活动的词汇上。”由此可知，与西方语言相比，不文明群体的语言在词汇方面受到限制，所以选项B正确。2.细节事实题。根据原文第二段的内容“对于专业的人类学家来说，文化之间没有本质上的优越，正如对于专业的语言学家来说，语言之间也没有本质上的等级关系。”由此可知，选项D符合原文。3.判断推理题。根据第三段一、二句的内容“人们曾经认为落后群体的语言是野蛮的、不发达的语言形式，主要由咕哝和呻吟组成。虽然语言可能是从一系列的咕哝和呻吟开始的，但对落后语

50、言的研究证实，现在的口语语言都不符合这一描述。”也就是说，咕哝和呻吟的语言形式现在已经不存在了，所以选项A正确。4.细节事实题。第三段提及“All languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. 所有的语言似乎都有扩充词汇的机制，它们可以把已经存

51、在的词汇组合在一起，也可以从其他语言中借用词汇并使其适应自己的系统。”由此可知，作者认为语言无论文明与否，都有扩大词汇量的潜力，选项A符合原文。5.判断推理题。根据原文最后一段的内容“这种对语言的研究，反过来又为人类学家的主张提供了新的线索，即所有的文化都应该被独立地看待，没有等级或层级的观念。”选项A和选项C在文中没有信息体现；D选项是原文明确提出的观点，不符合题干的意思。B选项“对语言的研究强化了人类学家的观点，即文化之间没有等级之分”与最后一段表达的意思一致，所以正确。9. 单选题Why are some of us good at math, while others（ ）at art

52、 or volleyball.问题1选项A.workB.excelC.aimD.gaze【答案】B【解析】考查词组辨析。A选项work at“从事于，致力于”；B选项excel at“突出，擅长于”；C选项aim at“目的在于”；D选项gaze at“盯住，凝视”。根据句意可知，填空处填入的词应和at搭配，并且和good at意思相近。句意“为什么有些人擅长数学，而有些人擅长艺术或排球?”选项B符合语境。10. 单选题The senators attempt to convince the public that she is not interested in running for a

53、second term is futile.问题1选项A.laudableB.sincereC.authenticD.useless【答案】D【解析】考查形容词辨析。句意：这位参议员试图让公众相信她对竞选连任没有兴趣，但这只是徒劳。A选项laudable“值得赞赏的”；B选项sincere“真诚的”；C选项authentic“真正的，真实的”；D选项useless“无用的，无效的”。futile意为“无用的，无效的”，选项D与之意思相近，代入符合语境。11. 单选题Having gone through all kinds of hardships in life, he became a f

54、amous clown with a strong（ ）.问题1选项A.philosophyB.mannerC.personalityD.idealism【答案】C【解析】考查名词辨析。A选项philosophy“哲学，哲理”；B选项manner“方式，习惯”；C选项personality“个性，品格”；D选项idealism“唯心主义”。句意：经历了生活中的种种艰辛，他成为了一个著名的有着明显个性的小丑。选项C符合语境。12. 单选题The recitalists performance was a delightfully free and introspective one; never

55、theless, it was also, seemingly paradoxically, quite（ ）.问题1选项A.appealingB.controlledC.idiosyncraticD.unskilled【答案】B【解析】考查形容词辨析。A选项appealing“吸引人的”；B选项controlled“受控制的”；C选项idiosyncratic“特殊的”；D选项unskilled“不熟练的”。根据关键信息“paradoxically”可知，填空处填入的词应和前面所表达的意思相反，所以选项B符合语境。句意：独奏者的表演是一场无拘无束的、令人愉快的、内省的表演。然而，看似矛盾的是

56、，它也受到了相当的控制。选项B正确。13. 单选题A computer program can provide information in ways that force students to（ ）learning instead of being merely recipients of knowledge.问题1选项A.shore upB.accede toC.participate inD.compensate for【答案】C【解析】考查词组辨析。A选项shore up“支持，加固”；B选项accede to“加入，同意”；C选项participate in“参加，参与，分享”；D

58、. 单选题Sadly, as spending on private gardens has（ ）, spending on public parks has generally declined.问题1选项A.heightenedB.liftedC.flownD.soared【答案】D【解析】考查动词辨析。A选项heighten“提高，升高”；B选项lift“举起，抬高”；C选项flow“流动，流通”；D选项soar“急升，激增”。句意：悲哀的是，随着私人花园的支出飙升，公共公园的支出普遍下降。填空处填入的应该是和declined相反的单词，所以选项D符合语境。16. 单选题In gener

59、al, the amount that a student spends for housing should be held to one-fifth of the total（ ）for living expenses.问题1选项A.acceptableB.applicableC.advisableD.available【答案】D【解析】考查形容词辨析。A选项acceptable“可接受的”；B选项applicable“可适用的，合适的”；C选项advisable“明智的”；D选项available“可获得的”。句意：一般来说，学生可用于住房的钱应该占全部生活费的五分之一。availabl
