【答案】第1题:B

第2题:D

第3题:C

第4题:C

第5题:A

【解析】1.【选项释义】

Theexpression“infullrevolt”inthesentence“That’swhereWinniethePooh,Piglet,andEeyorelive,andthecartooncharacters...,areinfullrevolt.”(Para.1)impliesthat____.“那是维尼熊、小猪和屹耳住的地方……和其他卡通人物正在全力反抗。”(第1段)这句话中“正在全力反抗”暗示____。

A.thecartooncharactersarenolongerpopularA.这些卡通形象不再受欢迎

B.DisneyisseriouslyinvolvedinlawsuitsB.迪士尼陷入严重的诉讼危机

C.theyshowthesignofdefeatofDisneyinlawsuitsC.他们表明迪士尼可能在诉讼中失败

D.thecartooncharactersnolongerplaypositiverolesD.这些卡通形象不再扮演积极的角色

【考查点】推理判断题

【解题思路】根据题干关键词Para.1定位到原文第1段。题干定位句为本段的背景信息,根据文章的行文结构,本段后文才是引入的主题。定位句中间插入部分提到“这意味着艾斯纳旗下的华特——迪士尼公司每年至少有10亿美元的收入($1billionayearinrevenues)。”本段后文提到“一桩被封存在洛杉矶法院长达12年之久的诉讼(oldlawsuit)在1月被曝光”,“一系列的法庭裁决导致这个媒体巨头将面临数亿美元的过期许可费(hundredsofmillionsinoverduelicensepayments),并且它可能失去其最赚钱的财产之一(thelossofoneofitsmostlucrativeproperties)”。由此可知,“正在全力反抗”应该是指本来给迪士尼带来巨额收入的卡通形象们,现在有可能让它面临巨额的赔偿,B选项“迪士尼陷入严重的诉讼危机”更符合原文。

【干扰项排除】

A选项“这些卡通形象不再受欢迎”,不符合段落主题,本段及本文主要的话题是“诉讼”,卡通人物只是引入话题的背景,该选项属于无中生有;

C选项“他们表明迪士尼可能在诉讼中失败”,原文只说面临诉讼,并没有说诉讼会失败,该选项属于过度推理;

D选项“这些卡通形象不再扮演积极的角色”,卡通形象并不是本段及本文的中心话题,该选项属于无中生有。

2.【选项释义】

Theword“anemic”intheexpression“Eisnerisunderattackfor..,ABC’sanemicratings”(Para.2)canbeparaphrasedas____.“艾斯纳(Eisner)因……和美国广播公司(ABC)____的收视率而受到攻击”一词中的“anemic”一词。(第2段)可以理解为____。

A.flexibleA.灵活的

B.changingB.变化的

C.steadyC.稳定的

D.decliningD.下降的

【考查点】词汇推测题

【解题思路】由题干引用句可知,anemic是形容美国广播公司的收视率的,而Eisner因为这个收视率的问题正受到攻击,由此推断,收视率应该不好,D选项“下降的”符合原文。另外,anemic的本义是“贫血的”。

【干扰项排除】A选项“灵活的”、B选项“变化的”、C选项“稳定的”不符合语境。

3.【选项释义】

Thesentence“Disneywantstokeepitsgriponthatbearandhishoneyjar.’’(Para.3)canbestbeexplainedaswhichofthefollowing?“迪士尼想要紧紧抓住那只熊和他的蜂蜜罐。”(第3段)这句话可以最好地解释为下列哪一个?

A.Disneywantstotakebackthebearsoastomakemorehoney.A.迪斯尼想把熊拿回来,以便制造更多的蜂蜜。

B.Disneywantstotakecontrolofitscartooncharacters.B.迪斯尼想要控制它的卡通人物。

C.DisneywantstokeepthemostprofitablepropertyWinniethePooh.C.迪士尼想要保留维尼熊这一最赚钱的资产。

D.Disneywantstowinthe12-year-oldlawsuit.D.迪士尼希望赢得这场长达12年的官司。

【考查点】推理判断题

【解题思路】根据题干关键词Para.3定位到原文第3段。题干引用句为本段第1句。本段第2句提到“小熊维尼是迪士尼最大的资产(PoohisDisney’ssinglelargestproperty)”。本段的后文主要在介绍迪士尼公司与《小熊维尼》作者的经济纠纷。另外,本文第一段提到迪士尼公司正面临的诉讼危机,可能导致它损失其最赚钱的资产,由此推断,定位句中“紧紧抓住那只熊和他的蜂蜜罐”指的是牢牢抓住这个最赚钱的资产,C选项“迪士尼想要保留维尼熊这一最赚钱的资产”符合原文。

【干扰项排除】

A选项“迪斯尼想把熊拿回来,以便制造更多的蜂蜜”,小熊维尼不是本段的重点,该选项没有表达出原句背后的含义,属于本末倒置;

B选项“迪斯尼想要控制它的卡通人物”,小熊维尼不是本段的重点,并且原文并没有体现“控制”的信息,该选项属于无中生有;

D选项“迪士尼希望赢得这场长达12年的官司”,原文第1段最后一句提到“一系列的法庭裁决导致这个媒体巨头将面临数亿美元的过期许可费(hundredsofmillionsinoverduelicensepayments),并且它可能失去其最赚钱的财产之一(thelossofoneofitsmostlucrativeproperties)。”要想赢得这场官司,仅仅靠小熊维尼是不够的,该选项属于过度推理。

4.【选项释义】

WhydoestheauthorsaythatDisney’scasemay“hingeonthe‘mommymemo’”?为什么作者说迪士尼的案例可能“取决于‘妈咪备忘录’”?

A.BecauseDisneyhasbeenbarredfromintroducingfurtherevidence.A.因为迪士尼被禁止提供进一步的证据。

B.BecausethedocumentsrelatedtoDisney’smerchandisesalescannotbefound.B.因为找不到与迪士尼商品销售相关的文件。

C.BecausethismightbetheonlydocumentrevealingDisney’soriginalattitude.C.因为这可能是唯一一份揭示迪士尼原始态度的文件。

D.BecauseSlesingerdaughterfaithfullyrecordedJefferds’words.D.因为斯莱辛格的女儿忠实地记录了杰弗斯的话。

【考查点】事实细节题

【解题思路】根据题干关键词mommymemo定位到原文第5段。本段第1句提到“如果没有这些文件(Absentthosedocuments),这起案件可能取决于‘妈咪备忘录’(mommymemo)。”根据thosedocuments定位到上一段,上一段提到“斯勒辛格夫妇还指控迪士尼丢失了与商品销售有关的文件(documents),并销毁了其他将协议扩展到光盘和录像带的文件。”由此可知,与扩展协议有关的其他文件可能丢失或被销毁了。第5段第2-3句提到“这个备忘录描述了她妈妈在贝弗利山庄酒店与Jefferds的一次会面”,并且在这次会面中“Jefferds告诉帕特丽夏视频和所有这些新文件都被掩盖了”,由此可知,这本备忘录记录了迪士尼的态度。因此,C选项“因为这可能是唯一一份揭示迪士尼原始态度的文件”符合原文。

【干扰项排除】

A选项“因为迪士尼被禁止提供进一步的证据”,可定位到第5段最后一句,该句提到“由于迪士尼销毁了Jefferds的信件,法官Hiroshige裁定,迪士尼被禁止引入证据反驳Jefferds家族关于他们有权获得录像带版税的主张。”由此可知,法官因为这份备忘录的帮助确定“迪士尼销毁了Jefferds的信件”,因此“迪士尼被禁止提供进一步的证据”,所以,该选项表述的是“果”,而“妈咪备忘录”是“因”,该选项属于因果倒置;

B选项“因为找不到与迪士尼商品销售相关的文件”,虽然这个文件的确丢失了,但是更重要的是“其他将协议扩展到光盘和录像带的文件被销毁了”,因为第3段最后一句提到“迪士尼的律师说迪士尼与原作者的协议只涉及到商品的版税(getroyaltiesonmerchandisealone),不包括其他(notallexploitation)”,而备忘录正好可以说明拓展协议的存在。该选项属于曲解原文;

D选项“因为斯莱辛格的女儿忠实地记录了杰弗斯的话”,只是因为忠实地记录,并不足以解释迪士尼的案例为什么可能取决于“妈咪备忘录”,该选项属于本末倒置。

5.【选项释义】

WhichofthefollowingCANNOTbeconcludedfromthepassage?下面哪个选项不是能从文章中得出的结论?

A.Disneyhasintroducedconvincingevidencetodefenditself.A.迪士尼已经提出了令人信服的证据来为自己辩护。

B.Disneyhasdestroyedsomeimportantpapersonpurpose.B.迪士尼故意销毁了一些重要文件。

C.Disneyhaslostinthe1999casewithJeffreyKatzenberg.C.迪士尼在1999年与杰弗里•卡曾伯格(JeffreyKatzenberg)的官司中败诉。

D.ThestockpriceofDisneyhasbeengoingdownforaperiodoftime.D.迪士尼的股价已经下跌一段时间了。

【考查点】事实细节题

【解题思路】题干要求选出“不能从原文中得出的结论”。A选项“迪士尼已经提出了令人信服的证据来为自己辩护”可定位到原文最后一段第1句,该句说到“各方之间似乎不太可能达成和解。”由此可知,迪士尼没能拿出让人信服的证据,A选项表述错误,符合题意。

【干扰项排除】

B选项“迪士尼故意销毁了一些重要文件”,由上一题解析可知,该选项表述正确,属于反向干扰;

C选项“迪士尼在1999年与杰弗里•卡曾伯格(JeffreyKatzenberg)的官司中败诉”可定位到原文最后一段第3句,该句提到“1999年,菲尔兹在一起激烈的案件中为迪士尼前工作室负责人杰弗里•卡曾伯格(JeffreyKatzenberg)赢得了2.5亿美元的庭外和解”,由此可知,JeffreyKatzenberg赢了,那么迪士尼就输了。该选项表述正确,属于反向干扰;

D选项“迪士尼的股价已经下跌一段时间了”,可定位到原文第2段第3句,该句提到“迪士尼长期疲软的股价(Disney’schronicallyweakstockprice)”,由此可知,该选项表述正确,属于反向干扰。

2.单选题

Theybelievedthatthiswasnotthe()oftheircampaignforequalitybutmerelythebeginning.

问题1选项

A.climax

B.pitch

C.summit

D.maximum

【答案】C

【解析】考查名词辨析。A选项climax“高潮,顶点,层进法,极点”,多指戏剧等的高潮,也指事物发展中的极点,多含其后由盛而衰的意味;B选项pitch“运动场地,程度,音高,沥青,投球”;C选项summit“顶点,最高级会议,最高阶层”,书面用词,指山的最顶部分,也指通过努力可以达到的最高水平,还指最重要的、国家间的首脑最高级会谈;D选项maximum“极大,最大限度,最大量”。句意:他们认为这并不是他们争取平等运动的顶峰,而仅仅是一个开始。因此C选项正确。

3.单选题

Theactress(

)thetermsofhercontractandwassuedbytheproducer.

问题1选项

A.isolated

B.signed

C.implemented

D.violated

【答案】D

【解析】动词辨析题。A选项isolated“使孤立,使分离”;B选项signed“署名,写下”;C选项implemented“实施,执行”;D选项violated“违反”。句意:这位女演员违反了合同条款,被制片人告上了法庭。选项D更符合语境。

问题4选项

A.intelligent

B.local

C.diligent

D.bewildered

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:A

第3题:C

第4题:B

【解析】1.根据第一段Heidegger的描述:疯狂地消除一切距离并不能带来接近;因为接近并不等于距离近。就距离而言,最不遥远的东西,凭借它在胶片上的影像或在收音机里的声音,可以离我们很远;距离我们远得无法计算的东西,可能就在我们身边。也就是说,接近它不是一个地理概念,无法用距离衡量。所以选项D符合原文。

2.根据第一段“YetthisdramaticglobalchangehasnotopenedtheWesttodifference,eitherthenonhumandifferencesoftheearthortheculturaldifferencesofnonwesternpeoples.”这一激动人心的全球变化并没有让西方世界接受这一差异,无论是地球上的非人类差异,还是非西方民族的文化差异。也就是说,西方人的态度是拒绝的。选项A正确。

3.根据第二段倒数第二句“Thisnotionofeconomicdevelopmenthasbeenfalselyuniversalizedandapplied,withdisastrousresults,totheentirelydifferentcontexttoattemptingtosatisfybasicneedsofnewlyindependentworldpeoples.”这种经济发展的概念被错误地普及和运用到完全不同的环境中,试图满足独立世界人民的基本需要,以致于造成了灾难性的后果。选项D符合原文。

4.根据上文连续提及两次“fromawesternperspective”以及转折词“However”可知,前面均是西方人的看法,再根据上下文内容可推测“indigenouspeoples”指的是当地的人,土著人。选项B正确。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:B

第3题:A

第4题:D

第5题:C

【解析】1.文章第一段提到以前有一种错误的观点:孩子到了18岁就应该离家独立;有社会学家称中产阶级中这一观念有着重大的转变。由此可知,在以前的美国社会中,大多数成年的子女都会离开家庭独立生活,所以选项A符合题意。

2.文章第二段提及年轻成年人返回家的原因:结婚年龄上升;离婚率上升和再婚率下降,使得情感受挫以及经济压力大的人重新寻求父母的庇护;去离家远的大学上学花费大,所以很多人都选择当地的大学。选项A、C、D都在文章中提到了,所以选项B符合题意。

3.文章第三段提到年轻人与父母居住会造成生活上的一些不便,比如洗手间,电话和隐私的争议等等,选项A符合题意。

4.hassles所在的句子:Therearethehasslesoverbathrooms,telephonesandprivacy.由前后问可知,这里讲述的是年轻人与父母居住造成生活中的一些不便,所以hassles在这里有“争论,争吵”的意思,比如关于洗手间、电话和隐私的争执。选项D符合题意。

5.文章最后一段指出大多数心理学家认为成年子女与父母一起生活对双方都不好:子女本来想自我独立,却被挫败;父母本应该享受经济和个人自由,却又被责任束缚。选项C符合题意。

【解析】1.【试题解析】考查逻辑关系。选项后“weallhaveguiltypleasures”,中文翻译为:我们都有罪恶的快乐。下文又说“ourday-to-daydecisionsareusuallygovernedbyadeep-seatedsense…”,中文翻译为:我们日常的决定通常是由一种根深蒂固的感觉所支配的……可知选项处应表示转折,故A项最符合。

2.【试题解析】考查逻辑关系。根据下文出现的“near-termregrets近期遗憾”“long-termregrets长期遗憾”以及“overthelongterm长期来看”可知A选项“从长远看”正确。

3.【试题解析】考查副词词义辨析。A选项deliberately“故意地;谨慎地”;B选项impulsively“冲动地;有推动力地”;C选项consciously“自觉地;有意识地”;D选项compulsively“强制地,强迫地”。联系上文“ifwefavoredworkoverleisure,necessitiesoverluxuries”中文翻译为:如果我们重视工作而不是休闲、选择必需品而不是奢侈品,推断出空格处选B。

4.【试题解析】考查词义辨析。A选项grow“使生长;种植;扩展”;B选项increase“增加”;C选项feed“喂养”;D选项arouse“引起”。根据语境和句意,后面搭配strongregrets,译为“强烈的遗憾”可知D选项正确。

5.【试题解析】考查逻辑关系。结合后文“whereasregretaboutnothavingworked,studiedorsavedmoneyduringbreaksdecreasedwithtime”,中文大意为:面对于没有在休息时间工作、学习或存钱的遗憾则随着时间的推移而减少。因此判断出空格处表示减少的意思,A选项正确。

6.【试题解析】考查词义辨析。A选项anticipate“预料,期望”;B选项realize“实现;认识到;了解”;C选项abandon“遗弃;放弃”;D选项recall“召回;回想起,记
