Directions: There are 4 passages in this part.Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage One
How much do you know about nutrition? If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U.S.Food and Drug Administration, then you probably share some wide-spread misinformation about nutrition.Check your answers to the following statements.Is it true or false?
Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables.False.The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged.Overcooking, for example, destroys many nutrients.Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins.Statement 2: When dieting, avoid starchy(淀粉类)foods, such as bread or potatoes.False.If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources of several B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients.Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoes have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.Statement 3: Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’t give you more energy.True.It’s widely believed that extra vitamins provide more energy.But taking more than the body needs doesn’t make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesn’t make your car run faster.If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself well informed about food and nutrition by today’s standards.But remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today’s
beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.16.The first paragraph implies that many people __________.A.are well informed about nutrition
B.don’t care about nutrition
C.have much knowledge of nutrition
D.have incorrect ideas about nutrition
17.According to paragraph 2, which is NOT true about nutrition?
A.Overcooking destroys many nutrients.B.It makes no difference how you prepare vegetables.C.Both fresh and packaged vegetables are nutritious.D.Vitamins in vegetable could be lost during cooking.18.Which is a correct attitude towards starchy food?
A.Starchy foods are unnecessary in a balanced diet.B.Bread and steak have the same amount of calories per ounce.C.Valuable nutrients could be found in starchy foods.D.Starchy foods include only peas, potatoes, bread and rice.19.The description of “overfilling your gas tank” shows why __________.A.one should take as much vitamins as possible
B.more than enough vitamins is unnecessary
C.vitamins cost as much as gas
D.doctors recommend allowance of vitamins
20.A good title for this article would be__________.A.Tips of Losing Weight Effectively
B.Test Your Nutrition IQ
C.Nutrition: A Complex Branch of Science
D.Misleading Nutrition Concepts
Passage Two
Most women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old--work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers.Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.Most of Ghana’s working women are farmers and traders.Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives.Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell.They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms.Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor.Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared.Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks.As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home.Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, so women can continue to play their multiple roles in the home and in the economy.21.What is the role of most women in Ghana?
A.Handling various housework at home.B.Taking care of children indoors.C.Farming and trading out of house.D.Working as well as maintaining families.22.“self-reliance” could be explained as “__________”.A.making great wealth
B.depending on oneself
C.caring for one’s own
D.being a reliable person
23.What kind of women do people in Ghana prefer?
A.Beautiful and charming.B.Skillful at sewing or baking.C.Depending totally on husbands.D.Working hard to earn incomes.24.Paragraph 3 describes__________.A.how traditional extended families operate
B.why women in Ghana have more burdens now
C.how changes in life help the working women
D.the new life style of Ghana’s people
25.The author of this article probably agrees that women in Ghana should__________.A.stay at home and focus on family life
B.become as active as men in business
C.try to maintain their original roles
D.make a choice and stick to one role
Passage Three
The blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s.After the Civil War, the slaves were free but life was still not easy.They had to find new work.In the South, work camps were formed.Black people from these camps worked on farms and on building up the Mississippi River banks.During the week the people worked long and hard.They often lived alone, without their families, far from home.On the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places.Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them.The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers.These songs were called the blues.If you have the blues it means you feel very sad.You can have the blues because you have no money, no job, no lover, or no home.But blue songs were not always sad.Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.Sometimes the blues singers had song contests.Each singer sang new words or a new style of the
blues song.They made up the music as they played.In this way they created new music.This is called improvisation.Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.Blues began in the country in the South.As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them.There, they sang about life in the cities.W.C.Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America.In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all, “The St.Louis Blues”.26.After the Civil War, the Black people _________.A.were mostly slaves

No matter who you are or where you come from, one thing is certain:you are acquainted with the mosquito(蚊子)--although you probably wish you weren’t.Mosquitoes are everywhere.They can be found all over the world, and they come in more than 2,500 species.Somewhere, at some time, you have surely met at least one.No one loves the mosquito.But unfortunately the mosquito may decide that she loves you.Yes, She.Only the female mosquito bites.It’s not because she’s unfriendly: she needs blood to reproduce.Female mosquito is quite selective, and she chooses her victims carefully.First, she uses sensors to find her victim.With these sensors, she tests your body moisture, body warmth, and chemical
substances in your sweat.If she likes what she finds, she bites.But if you don’t appeal to her, she’ll reject you for someone more appetizing.The next time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you were chosen.You’re special.If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her proboscis tip.It’s a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito’s eyes.She stabs the proboscis tip into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood vessel, she’ll get a full dinner in about a minute.After that, the mosquito is tired.Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot---on a leave or a stone---to lay her eggs.Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.31.By the sentence “you are acquainted with the mosquito--although you probably wish you weren’t”, the author means that people _________.A.don’t like mosquito but it is always there
B.know mosquito and wish them well
C.wish all the mosquito disappeared
D.want to be friendly to mosquito but fail at last
32.Why is it only female mosquito that bites?

B.the color of the skin
C.the chemical elements in sweat
D.the wetness of the body
34.According to the last paragraph, the function of proboscis tip is to _______.A.find where to bite
B.to stick into the flesh and suck blood
C.to remove the skin and collect blood
D.decide whom to reject
35.The main idea of the passage could be _______.A.why and how mosquito bites people

参考作文
Fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s and KFC provide food served within a few minutes.Therefore, many people, especially those who are busy with their work, would choose fast food in order to save time.But we should also be aware that some kinds of fast food are not so healthy.They are usually fried or overcooked, and therefore increase the risk people of getting overweight.It may even cause some diseases.In my opinion, when we are really running out of time, fast food is a good choice to avoid hunger and make us return to work with some energy.At the same time, eating fast food should not become a long-term habit so health problems will not arise.(123 words)
第二篇:2014年 成人学位英语冲刺试题及答案十
Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should decide on the best choi To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains.But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain.It was first used as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times.Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade.And there was a strange thing connected with its use;it became a symbol of honor and authority.In the Far East In ancient times, the umbrella was allowed-to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece.But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared.Then it appeared again in Italy in 16th century.And again it became a symbol of power and authority.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight.It wasn’’t until the twentieth century that women’’s umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.1.The first use of umbrella was as_________.A protection against rain B a shade against the sun C a symbol of power D a symbol of honor 答案:B 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。“But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain.It was first used as a shade against the sun.”根据第一段最后一句话可以得知。2._________were regarded as the people who first used umbrellas.A Romans B Greeks C Chinese D Europeans 答案:C 本题考查的是考生对具体句子的理解。“Probably the first to use it were the Chinese,”根据第二段可直接得知。
3.The umbrella was used only by royal people or those in high office_________.A in European in the eighteenth century B in ancient Egypt and Babylon C in the Far East in ancient times D during the Middle Ages 答案:C 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。“In the Far East In ancient times,the umbrella was allowed to be
used only by royal people or by those in high office.”根据第三段最后一句可得知。4.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A Women enjoy using umbrella with varies kinds of colors B The inventor of the umbrella is unknown C Once ordinary people had no right to use umbrellas D Umbrellas were popular and cheap in the ancient times 答案:D 本题考查的是考生对全文的把握以及关键点的理解。“And there was a strange thing connected with its use;it became a symbol of honor and authority.In the Far East In ancient times,the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.”可知,雨伞在古代曾经是权利和荣耀的象征,所以只能由皇族和高官持有,故此项不对。
5.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage? A When Was the Umbrella Invented B The Role of Umbrella in History C The Colors and Shapes of Umbrella D Who Needed Umbrella First 答案:B 本题考查的是考生对全文意思的把握。通读全文可知,文章讲雨伞的不同角色,包括遮阳,遮雨,在古代还能象征权利和荣誉,所以B能最好地概括全文,其他项都太过片面。
How can we get rid of garbage(垃圾)? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today.Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time.They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the time it can save the land to hold garbage.For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped(倾倒)it on empty land.Now, empty land is scarce.But more and more garbage is produced each year.However, garbage can be a good fuel to use.The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas;but they are chemically similar to these fossil(化石)fuels.As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.Burning garbage is not a new idea.Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years.The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water.The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings.In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year.The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil.Our fossil fuel supplies are limited.Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs.This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.6.What two problems can man solve by burning garbage? A The shortage of energy and air pollution.B The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.C Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel.D Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbage.答案:B 细节题。见第二段“Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time.They suggest using garbage as an energy source,and at the time it can save the land to hold garbage.”有人认为我们可以同时把两个问题解决:一是解决了能源紧缺的问题;二是节省了填埋垃圾的土地。
7.Which of the following is NOT the result of burning garbage? A The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.B The heat produced is used to boil water.C The steam produced is used to make electricity.D The steam produced is used to heat buildings.答案:A 细节题。根据“The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water.The steam that is produced is used、to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings.”可知只有A不正确。8.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

Today, cigarette smoking is a common habit.About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly.It is encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking.It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women.Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24-44.Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person’’s smoking habit.City people smoke more than people living on farms.Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes.On the other hand,if a well-educated man with a higher income smoked at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.The situation is somewhat different for women.There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups.These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Among teenagers the picture is similar.There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas.Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.11.What do we know from the first paragraph ? A More and more people take up the habit of smoking.B There are more smoking women than smoking men in U.S.A.C It is good news that more people have given up smoking.D The U.S.has more smoking people than any other country.答案:C 很多人戒烟是个好消息。在文章的第一段,作者便提到,看到有数百万的人戒烟是令人振奋的。所以选C. 12.What factors determine a person’s smoking habits ?

A City people are less likely to smoke.B People in rural areas are more likely to smoke.C Men with higher income tend to smoke.D Well-educated men with high incomes are generally less likely to smoke.答案:D 高知识、高收入的男人不太容易吸烟。文章第三段提到,Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes.文化程度和教育程度越高,吸烟的人越少。所以选D。
14.What is the smoking situation for women ? A The situation is quite the same for women as for men.B Better-educated women are likely to smoke heavily.C There are more women smokers with low incomes.D Women with higher incomes and higher education do not tend to smoke.答案:B 文章第四段提到,女性的情况跟男性相反。These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.教育程度越高,吸烟数量越多。

to 【B9】 how old they are.【B10】 such a question, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 【B11】.They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 【B12】 that they look very old!【B13】 Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 【B14】 that they are not interested to know how old other people are.They may ask someone else 【B15】 the information, 【B16】 they may try to 【B17】 the topic indirectly.Sometimes discussions about educational 【B18】 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 【B19】 , but this is not always t he 【B20】.56.A on B for C in D of 答案:D 特别是对于妇女来说be true of是固定搭配。57.A that B such C than D so 答案:D even more so„更是如此;从词性搭配的角度来看,more是形容词,只能接副词,名词。不能是代词。C选项是不符合的。58.A average B normal C expected D unusual 答案:B 本题考查的是词语的意思。average平均(一般指数字)normal表示一般,正常expected盼望,期待unusual与众不同的 59.A being asked B asking C to ask D to be asked 答案:A 本题考查的是动词的语态。文章中指的是被问到,所以用被动,mind dong sth。60.A reveal B reflect C release D remark

第三篇:2014年 成人学位英语冲刺试题及答案五
Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should decide on the best choi Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing.In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter.“You’’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair.For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded.When I left a 20-year career in the U.S.Coast Guard to become a freelance(自由栏目)writer, I had no prospects at all.What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building.It didn’’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn’’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if ? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.1.The passage is meant to______.A warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience B advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer C show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame D encourage young people to pursue a writing career 答案:A 这道题考察考生对文章的整体把握能力。作者在开头便点明写作和成为作家是不同的,指出 很多年轻人的想法是不成熟的。接下来又以亲身经历说明成为作家的艰辛。2.What can be concluded from the passage? A Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on efforts.C Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D The chances for writer to become successful are small 答案:D 一个作家成功的比率是非常小的。在文章的第二段中提到For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded.虽然有一些可以得到财富,但上千的作家的努力却得不到回报。说明作家成功是非常困难的。
3.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career? A He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B He hadn’t seen aching for the better.C He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.D He though that he lacked imagination.答案:B 作者在从事写作的第一年怀疑自己是应为他没有看到情况比一开始有所好转。4.„people who die wondering: What if ?(Para-3)refers to “those_____”.A who think too much of the dark side of life B who regret giving up their career halfway C who think a lot without making a decision D who are full of imagination even upon death 答案:C 因为这些人总去问what if,说明他们总是犹豫不决,对自己的未来举棋不定,做不出最终决定。5.Shadowland in the last sentence refers to_____.A the wonderland on often dreams about B the bright future that one is looking forward to C the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached D a world that exists only in one’s imagination 答案:C 这道题考察对词汇的理解。shadowland是指一种在目标实现前的不确定状态。A youngster’’s social development has a profound effect on his academic progress.Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out(退学).In the early grades especially, experts say, youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends.“When children work on a project”, says Lillian Kate, an educational professor at the University of Illinois, “they learn to work together, to disagree, to think, to take turns and lighten tensions.These skills can’’t be learned through lecture.We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don’’t have any social skills.Relationships should be the first R.” At a certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others.For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world.Just as a 1-year-old struggling to walk, a 6-year-old is struggling to meet adults’’ expectations.“Young kids don’’t know how to distinguish between effort and ability.” says Professor Hill, an early-childhood educator for the state of New Jersey, “If they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a particular task.The effects of obvious methods comparison such as posting grades can be serious”, says Hills, “a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation”.6.The author seems to think that a kid’s poor relationship with his classmates would________.A have negative effects on his study B develop his individualism but limit his intelligence C eventually lead to his leaving school D have nothing to do with his achievements in a course 答案:A 细节题。第一段第二句提到“Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out.”与同学相处不好有可能使学习退步,而且辍学的可能性也变大了。C最具干扰性,人际关系不好,并不一定都会辍学。7.In the first paragraph, the word “spot” means________.A teach B help C find
D treat 答案:C 词汇题。“„youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends.”根据句意,老师鼓励孩子参加集体活动,这样他们才能发现哪些孩子不善于与同学相处。由此可推断spot意为“发现。” 8.For most children, school makes them understand________.A that it is society rather than individual that decides one’s future B that they can meet the social needs C that one’s effort and one’s ability can be two quite different matters D that social needs and individual needs have nothing in common 答案:A 细节题。第二段第二句说“For most children,school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world.”对于大多数孩子来说,学校让他们首次意识到他们的目标不是由自己说了算,而是受社会的影响的。
9.Which of the following is most unlikely for the author to do? A To talk to the students who have mental problems.B To help students develop a feeling of self-respect.C To keep a student from playing alone.D To announce a student’s scores in public.答案:D 细节题。文章提到“The effects of obvious methods comparison such as posting grades can be serious”,采取明显的比较优劣的方法,如公布学生的分数,会产生严重的后果,因此,作者是不会这样做的。10.Which of the following is the major concern of the passage about a student’s needs? A Individualism and cooperation.B Academic success and independent thinking.C Socialization and feeling of confidence.D Intelligence and respect.答案:C 主旨题。文章的第一句和最后一句就是本文所关心的问题:“A youngster’s social development has a profound effect on his academic progress.”“Times,a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation.”可以看出,本文对孩子的社会化和自信心非常关注。
The agriculture revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things;the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture.Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce.“In Europe”, said Thomas Jefferson, “the object is to make the most of their land, labor being sufficient;here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant.” It was in America, therefore, that the great advances in nineteenth — century agricultural machinery first came.At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude(粗糙的)plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs.By 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form.The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow.As early as 1890 Charles Newbolt of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention.The farmers, however, would home none of it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow.Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to
the plow, until in 1869, James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel plow.11.The word “here”(Para, 1)refers to_________.A Europe B America C New Jersey D Indiana 答案:B 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。根据here上文Thomas Jefferson(美国人)和下文的in America,这里的“here”指的是美国。
12.Which of the following statement is NOT true? A The need for labor helped the invention of machinery in America B The farmer rejected Charles Newbolt’s plow for fear of ruin of their fields.C Both Europe and America had great need for farm machinery.D It was in Indiana that the first chilled-steel plow was produced.答案:C 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。文章中有这样的句子:“In Europe„the object is to make the most of their land,labor being sufficient;here it is to make the most of our labor,and land being abundant.(在欧洲„„我们的目标是劳动力充足,要充分利用土地;在美国土地充足,要正确使用劳动力。)”因此说欧洲和美国都亟须农业机械化是错误的。C正确答案。13.The passage is mainly about_________.A the agriculture revolution B the invention of labor saving machinery C the development of scientific agriculture D the farming machinery in America 答案:B 此题考查的是考生对整篇短文主要内容的理解。由第一部分文章总体结构分析“围绕节省劳力的机械发明展开”文章的中心思想应当是“节省劳力的机器发明”。
14.At the opening of the nineteenth-century, farmers in America_________.A preferred light tools B were extremely self-reliant(自给的)C had many tools D had very few tools 答案:D 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。文章中有这样的句子:“At the opening of the century,with the ex-caption of a crude plow,farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs.(在本世纪初,除了一个粗糙的耕犁之外,农民可以把其余所有的农具放在背上。)”说明当时的农具很少。D为正确答案。
15.It is implied but not stated in the passage that_________.A there was a shortage of workers on American farms B the most important of the early invention was the iron plow C after 1869, many people devoted their attention to the plow D Charles Newbolt had made a fortune by his cast-iron plow
答案:A 本题是推断题,也是对文章细节的考查。根据“In Europe„the object is to make the most of their land,labor being sufficient;here it is to make the most of our labor,and land being abundant.(在欧洲„„我们的目标是劳动力充足,要充分利用土地;在美国土地充足,要正确使用劳动力。)”可推知“美国缺乏劳动力。”B在文章中“The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow.”有说明;根据“many people devoted their attention to the plow,until in 1869,James Oliver of South Bend,Indiana,turned out the first chilled steel plow.”可知C与此句意思相反,为错误项。根据“spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention.The farmers,However,would home none of it”可推知Charles Newbolt并没有因此而发财,D项也错误。Part II Vocabulary and Structure(30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.Then mark the corresponding lett 16.Today the police can watch cars_________ on roads by radar.A run B to run C running D to be run 答案:C 本题考查的是watch一词的用法,即watch sb/sth do/doing,do表示瞬间动作;doing则表示正在进行或当前状态,这里侧重正在进行,因而选C。
17.Before the guests come, I must get the glasses______.A washed B to be washed C being washed D to wash 答案:A 此题考查的是常见动词后的宾补用法,也属于非谓语动词的范围。Get+宾语+done,表示让/使„被„,这里是让杯子被洗,故选A。

【B13】 Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 【B14】 that they are not interested to know how old other people are.They may ask someone else 【B15】 the information, 【B16】 they may try to 【B17】 the topic indirectly.Sometimes discussions about educational 【B18】 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 【B19】 , but this is not always t he 【B20】.56.A on B for C in D of 答案:D 特别是对于妇女来说be true of是固定搭配。57.A that B such C than D so 答案:D even more so„更是如此;从词性搭配的角度来看,more是形容词,只能接副词,名词。不能是代词。C选项是不符合的。58.A average B normal C expected D unusual 答案:B 本题考查的是词语的意思。average平均(一般指数字)normal表示一般,正常expected盼望,期待unusual与众不同的 59.A being asked B asking C to ask D to be asked 答案:A 本题考查的是动词的语态。文章中指的是被问到,所以用被动,mind dong sth。60.A reveal B reflect C release D remark 答案:A 本题考查的是根据上下文判断词语的意思。reveal揭露,揭示;reflect反射,反映;release:释放,泄露;remark注释。可能有些人会选择release,仔细分析一下,release往往用在泄漏机密等情况。
