第二篇：2010年GCT考试模拟试卷答案解析)

答案：B 解析：本题考查词语解释。A中“举手之劳”，意为“一举手那样的辛劳。形容轻而易举，毫不费力。”C中 顺民，指归附新统治者或外族侵略者的人。D中“文思”意为“写作的思路”。

答案：B 解析：本题考查易错的字。A项中“乐此不彼”应为“乐此不疲”，C中“坚守自盗”应为“监守自盗”，D中“目不瑕接”应为“目不暇接”。

答案：D 解析：本题考查病句分析。A项不合逻辑，应为：提出、分析、解决。B项搭配不当，详细的规定是对政策而言，深刻的说明是对理论而言。C项否定词重复使用，或删除“防止”，或删去“不再”或“不”。

答案：C 解析：本题考查排列句序，给定若干句子，按语意连贯的要求排列成一段话，要注意以下原则：①围绕中心，围绕中心说相应的话，这是组合语段或语篇的首要条件，离开了这一点，无连贯可言；②角度一致，这里的“角度”是指叙述的角度，不论是长是短的一段话，都有一个叙述的角度，只有保持叙述角度的一致，语句之间才能连贯，随意变化叙述角度，就会使文字不通顺；③结构协调，这里所说的结构协调一致，既包含句子之间的结构协调，又包含一个句子内部的结构协调一致；④句子之间连贯还需要其他条件，如寻求合理的组合顺序，关注前后照应等。

答案：D 解析：本题考查修辞手法及其作用。D项主要运用对偶的修辞手法，把对敌人和对人民的态度进行对比。

答案：B 解析：本题考查标点符号的运用。破折号的作用之一是引出对概念内涵的具体解释。“美的以及有意味的”是对“这种创造的结果中的一部分”进行解释。顿号表示的是短语内部的结构关系，可以用在并列的词语之间，也可以用在当作词语用的短语之间。

答案：B 解析：本题考查关联词语的运用。“而且”表递进，“只是”表轻微的转折。“即使”表让步，“假使”表假设。

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage: “Fingers were made before forks”.When a person gives up good manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it.Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy.The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers, “Seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.” English travellers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years.Men who used forks were thought to be sissies, and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice.Not until the late 1600’s did using a fork become a common custom.16.The custom of eating with a fork was _____.A.brought to Europe from AmericaB.begun when forks were invented C.brought to Europe from AsiaD.invented by Italians 17.By the fifteenth century forks were used _____.A.all over ItalyB.only in Constantinople C.widely in EuropeD.In England 18.To English travellers in Italy, the use of forks seemed _____.A.cleverB.necessaryC.good mannerD.ridiculous 19.The English thought that Italians used forks in order to ______.A.imitate the people of the EastB.keep their food clean C.impress visitors with their good mannersD.amuse the English 20.In England, people who used forks at that time were considered _____.A.well manneredB.sissiesC.show-offs and overniceD.both B and C Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage Holidays in the United States usually occur at least once a month.Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday.The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends, that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families.Major holidays in the United States include New Year’s Day, Christmas Day and the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United Sates, called Thanksgiving Day.In these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay at home and celebrate with their families.Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year.This usually depends on how long you have been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high and important position and whether you can find someone to replace you.In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than take one month all at once.Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may get for a vacation.21.The government of the United States makes it a rule for workers to have __________ weekends.A.5-dayB.2-dayC.3-dayD.4-day 22.Workers in the United States sometimes work from __________.A.MondayB.Saturday to Monday C.Thursday to FridayD.Tuesday to Friday 23.Which statement is wrong according to this passage?

25.Which is the best title for this passage? A.Holidays in the United States B.Vacation in the United Staes C.How the Workers Spend Their Holidays D.Something about the Holidays and Vacation in the U.S.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage The Industrial Revolution in Britain first began in the textile industry.England had been a major producer of wool for centuries.Ever since the enclosures, wool and then woolen cloth had been the principal exports of England.And cloth-making, though a domestic industry in the early years, had the characteristic of captalist production which separated the employer from the employee and introduced the division of labour, such as carding, spinning, weaving, fulling and dyeing.With the expansion of market, the demand for cloth also increased.But a spinner with a distaff could only make one thread at a time.The short supply of yarn became the main obstacle to mass production of cloth.The general effort to improve thread-making techniques led to the invention of spinning Jenny in 1764, by the English spinner Hargreaves.The new instrument enabled a singly workman to spin eight or ten threads at once.A year later, Richard Arkwright, a barber, patented a device for drawing out thread by means of rollers.Then in 1779, Samual Crompton drew on these two new devices and invented a new kind of spinning machine known as the mule.It greatly accelerated the speed of production and improved the quality of thread.Then Arkwright established a great factory by applying power-driven mules and became known as Father of Factory System in England.By the end of the 18th Century, power-driven machines spinning two hundred threads simultaneously had been introduced in production.

28.Which of the following is NOT TRUE? A.Hargreaves invented the spinning Jenny.

B.Arkwright patented a device for drawing out thread by means of rollers and thus was called Father of Factory System in England.

C.Samual Crompton invented the spinning machine mule.
