【答案】当两个人都把抽出时间多聚在一起作为他们的第一要务时，一段美满的婚姻就开始了。如果我们希望找到爱，我们首先必须找到时间去爱。遗憾的是，当前的心理学依赖于独立自我的模式。为了维持长久的婚姻，我们必须克服以自我为中心的思想。我们必须超越心理学家亚伯拉罕•马斯洛所说的“自我实现”而转向“共同实现”。我们必须学会把时间放在爱上。持久的婚姻永远无法确定组成婚姻的独立“自我”。但有一点可以确信的是，这种关系将在一个永无止境的学习过程中成长。有一种强大的治愈能量来自于爱。持久的爱可以使人学会感知，释放并使这种能量增长。如果我们把精力投入到爱中，我们就会受到爱的激励。

2.单选题

They（）thehallwithpictures.

问题1选项

A.adorned

B.ornamented

C.supplied

D.trimmed

【答案】A

【解析】考查动词辨析。adorn“装饰”，一般指为了“美观”而装饰；ornament“装饰，修饰”，多指比较“浮夸”的装饰品，通常在描述很大的豪宅时用ornament比较多；supply“提供，供应”；trim“修剪，切除”。句中指的是用画来装饰大厅，所以选项A更恰当。

3.单选题

Thepriceofthecoalwillvaryaccordingtohowfarithastobetransportedandhowexpensivethefreight（）are.

问题1选项

A.payments

B.charges

C.funds

D.prices

【答案】B

【解析】考查名词辨析。payments“付款，薪资”；charges“费用，手续费”；funds“资金，基金”；prices“价格”。句意：煤的价格将根据运输的距离和运费的价格而有所不同。B项符合题意。

4.单选题

Theadoffour-wheeledvehiclegivesviewersafeelingof（）thatnomatterwhathappensweatherwise,nomatterhowmuchitsnowsorhowbadthemudslidesare,youcangooutinyourfour-wheeldrive.

问题1选项

A.invulnerability

B.irrationality

C.ambiguity

D.simplicity

【答案】A

【解析】考查名词辨析。A选项invulnerability“刀枪不入，不会受伤害”；B选项irrationality“不合理，无理性”；C选项ambiguity“含糊，不明确”；D选项simplicity“朴素，简易”。句意：四轮汽车的广告给观众一种无坚不摧的感觉，不管天气如何，不管下多大的雪，不管泥石流有多严重，都可以开着四轮汽车出门。本句表示四轮汽车不会受到伤害。因此A选项正确。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:D

第3题:C

第4题:A

第5题:B

【解析】21.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】推理判断题。题干意思是“老虎计划的最终目标是……”。定位文章第一段，该段讲述了老虎数量锐减，最后提到ProjectTigerSupportedbyW.W.F.wasimmediatelylaunched.Ninetigerreserveswerecreated,witharmedguardsprotectingthem.（世界自然基金会资助的老虎项目立即启动。建立了9个老虎保护区，有武装警卫保护它们。），可推知老虎被捕杀是其数量剧减的根本原因，因此使老虎免于被杀是野生动物保护基金会的最终目的。B项“保护老虎不被杀害”正确。A项“研究老虎的生长速度”和C项“促进幼虎的繁殖”没提到，属于无中生有。D项“分析老虎的行为模式”在第二段有提及，定位第一句TheprojectprovidedopportunitiesforresearchersfromIndiaandabroadtostudytigersinthereservesandgatherpreviouslyunavailableinformationabouttheirhabits.（该项目为来自印度和国外的研究人员提供了研究保护区老虎的机会，并收集了以前无法获得的关于老虎习性的信息）可知，该项并不是这个老虎项目的目标，而是其有利之处，属于张冠李戴。因此，该题选择B项。

22.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】事实细节题。题干意思是“研究表明……”。定位第三段第二句Butstudiesshowthatitcatchesonlyoneof20victimsittriestoattack.（但研究表明老虎捕捉猎物的成功率仅为1/20）可知，老虎捕捉猎物的成功率很低，所以D项“老虎并不是通常所说的高效的猎手”正确。A项“母老虎在受到攻击之前从不攻击”和B项“母老虎不像其他老虎那样凶猛”没有提到，属于无中生有。定位第二段倒数第二句Butittriestoavoidterritorialfights,beingguidedbythedistinctivebodysmellofothertigers.（但它会根据其他老虎独特的身体气味，尽量避免争夺地盘）可知，C项“一只老虎通常与另一只老虎搏斗以保卫自己的领土”与原文相反，属于反向干扰。因此，该题选择D项。

23.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】事实细节题。题干意思是“根据文章，老虎的领地……”。定位第二段第二句Studiesshowthatamaletigermaycontrolahuntingterritoryofbetween10and20squarekilometers,dependingonitsage,sizeandstrength.（研究表明，根据年龄、体型和力量，雄性老虎可以控制10到20平方公里的狩猎区域），以及第三句Theterritoryofmaleincludesthesmallerterritoriesofthreeorfourtigresses.（雄虎的领地包括三到四只雌虎的小领地）可知，一头雄老虎依年龄、体型及力量可以控制10至20公里的狩猎领地，随着老虎的长大，其体型及力量都在增大，其占领的狩猎领地的面积自然也就增大，C项“随着老虎的成长而扩大”正确。A项“保持不变”与原文相反，属于反向干扰。B项“通常由母老虎保护”没有提到，属于无中生有。定位第二段倒数第二句Butittriestoavoidterritorialfights,beingguidedbythedistinctivebodysmellofothertigers.（但它会根据其他老虎独特的身体气味，尽量避免争夺地盘）可知，D项“是大多数打架的原因”也是反向干扰。因此，该题选择C项。

24.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】事实细节题。题干意思是“有些人害怕老虎计划……”。定位最后一段第一句FearshaverecentlydevelopedthatProjectTigerhasbeentoosuccessful.（最近人们开始担心“老虎计划”太成功了），toosuccessful与A项中的carriedtoofar是同样的意思，所以A项“做得太过火”正确。B项“没有得到足够的重视”和C项“没有实现它的目标”与原文相反，属于反向干扰。D项“不值得花这么多钱”没提到，属于无中生有。因此，该题选择A项。

25.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】观点态度题。题干意思是“作者看起来……”。纵观全文，作者对于老虎保护项目没有加入个人的主观色彩，也没有描述主观情感的词语，所以他持的是一种客观的态度。B项“对老虎计划采取实事求是的态度”符合题意。A项“对老虎计划充满热情”、C项“对老虎计划持敌对态度”和D项“对老虎计划感到满意”都是曲解原文。因此，该题选择B项。

6.单选题

Adrunkmanwalkedin,______inappearance.

问题1选项

A.repulsive

B.reluctant

C.reproachful

D.reputed

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A项repulsive“可憎的、排斥的”；B项reluctant“不情愿的”，常与to搭配构成不定式；C项reproachful“责备的、指责的”；D项reputed“享有声望的”；句意：一个醉汉走了进来，面目可憎。因此该题A项正确。

7.单选题

Themost

technologicalsuccessinthetwentiethcenturyisprobablythecomputerrevolution.

问题1选项

A.prominent

B.prosperous

C.productive

D.prevalent

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容词词义辨析。Prominent“显著的，突出的”；prosperous“繁荣的，兴旺的”；productive“能生产的”；prevalent“流行的，普遍的”。句意：二十世纪最卓越的技术可能是计算机革命。选项A符合题意。

【答案】现在大多数汽车制造商出售的导航电脑价值都在2000美元或以上，因此它们大多用于一些豪华车内，如雷克萨斯，宝马和奥迪，也是不足为奇的事。但它是一种发展中的技术——这意味着价格最终将下降——市场看来定将扩大。

即使就当前的价格而言，导航电脑也足以令人动心。它通过建议路线规划提示指引你在大多数重要城市里由此地去彼地。这些指示可以模拟清晰的真人发音，并书写在驾驶者面前的屏幕上。

该电脑通过一根天线工作。这根天线至少能够接收到24家全球定位卫星中的3家。通过计算卫星与天线之间信号传播所需的时间，汽车的位置可被确定在100米的误差范围之内。

卫星信号，连同车速传感器提供的车速数据和定向仪提供的方向一起确定出车子的位置，哪怕它处于移动当中。这些信息同一个地图数据库相结合，街道、路标或名胜之地都被包括在该数据库之中。

大多数导航系统基本都是相同的。区别之处在于硬件的不同，即电脑接受驾驶者询问方向的指令和它提供指示的方式不同。在多数系统内，驾驶者通过触摸屏或光盘输入某个目的地地址，高速公路的交汇口，或名胜之处。但是雷克萨斯车的屏幕则更胜一筹：你能够指向屏幕地图的任何一点并获得到达该地点的指示。

根据德国宝马的系统设计，地图上有一个可以移动的瞄准十字纹（有几种地图比例供选择）。你想去哪里，就可以选定哪里。而奥迪车的屏幕可以转换为电视接受器。

像宝马和雷克萨斯这样的车，其更为出色的定位系统所储存的词汇量更大，甚至其复述指令的声音也可以不同。这些指令除可以英语发音外，还可以使用法语、德语、西班牙语、荷兰语和意大利语发音。驾驶者还可以通过设置参数来决定路线，比如说最快、最短、或不走高速公路的路线。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:A

第3题:C

第4题:A

第5题:C

【解析】1.观点态度题。本题其实也属于主旨类题，解决方式也是找主旨。文章多出出现了“giftedstudents天赋学生”，第一句说到“Giventhelackoffitbetweengiftedstudentsandtheirschools,itisnotsurprisingthatsuchstudentsoftenhavelittlegoodtosayabouttheirschoolexperience.考虑到天才学生和他们的学校之间的不和谐，这些学生经常对他们的学校生活没什么好的评价也就不足为奇了。”能提取出来的信息就是“天赋学生”对“学校”不满，原因是“不和谐”。学校无法满足他们的兴趣和要求，因此有天赋的学生并不喜欢学校。因此B选项“他们往往不能满足有才能学生的需要”正确。

2.作者意图题。在第一段最后部分说到“AboutOliverGoldsmith,oneofhisteachersremarked,“Neverwassodullaboy.”Oftenthesechildrenrealizethattheyknowmorethantheirteachers,andtheirteachersoftenfeelthatthesechildrenarearrogant,inattentive,orunmotivated.关于奥利弗•戈德史密斯，他的一位老师说：‘从来没有像他这样迟钝的孩子。’这些孩子常常意识到他们知道的比老师多，他们的老师常常觉得这些孩子傲慢、注意力不集中或缺乏动力。”因此作者在这引用也是为了论证上文中提到的观点：许多有天赋的学生在学校表现很差或很不高兴。A选项“支持他的论点”正确。

3.事实细节题。第二段第一、二句说到“Someofthesegiftedpeoplemayhavedonepoorlyinschoolbecausetheirgiftswerenotscholastic.MaybewecanaccountforPicassointhisway.有些有天赋的人可能在学校表现很差，因为他们的天赋不是学术的。也许我们可以这样解释毕加索。”说明毕加索的天赋并非学术性，因此在学校表现并不佳。C选项“不能成功地应付他们在学校的学习”符合文意。

4.事实细节题。本题是在找有天赋的学生自认为的成功原因，第三段第一句说到“Whenhighlygiftedstudentsinanydomaintalkaboutwhatwasimportanttothedevelopmentoftheirabilities,theyarefarmorelikelytomentiontheirfamiliesthantheirschoolsorteachers.在任何领域，当极具天赋的学生谈论什么对他们能力的发展重要时，他们更可能提到他们的家庭，而不是学校或老师。”因此在他们看来，成功的重要因素是“家庭”。A选项“主要是父母的帮助和他们在家里的教育”符合题意。

5.判断推理题。本题关键在于“rootcause根本原因”。A选项“他们的不一致给他们带来了很多麻烦”，文章并未重点讲述“麻烦”造成他们不喜欢学校生活；B选项“他们很少受到老师的表扬”和D选项“老师通常比他们的父母严厉得多”未提及，因此排除。C选项“学校的课程没能激励他们”，也就是没有引起他们的兴趣，第一段和第二段多处提到，这些学生常觉得自己比老师知道得多，因此学校的课程并没有什么挑战性。所以C选项正确。
