大学英语（B）模拟试卷答案与讲解Test 9第一部分：交际用语（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 15 BCACD 1【答案】B。【解析】下文的回答是“呆了差不多一周”根据这个回答可以推断上文是问呆了多长时间。 2【答案】C。【解析】上文是问频率，所以下文只有答案C才是回答频率的。 3【答案】A。【解析】这是电话用语“我想找主任。”“对不起，他这会儿正忙！” 4【答案】C。【解析】上文提出建议，夏文表示赞成该意见。所以答案选C。 5【答案】D。【解析】回答的人是一个陌生人，不了解该地的情况，只好道歉。第二部分：阅读理解(共10小题；每小题3分，满分30分) 6一10 DCCDA 1115 ABDAB6【答案】D。【解析】本题表面测试的是考生对细节的捕获能力，因为文章提到“The renting of home furnishings(beds，tables，dishes，and So on)has become one of Americas fastest growing businesses”。但实质上是对文章中心的理解能力。文章的中心讲的就是租家具这一社会现象：包括何种人愿意租、其原因是什么以及人们对这一现象的认识。7【答案】C。【解析】本题测试了考生对文章某一部分的概括能力。选项B只回答了问题的一部分，因此选B是错误的。选项D过于笼统，文章提到“they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy”。选项A在文章中并未提到。8【答案】B。【解析】本题测试了考生对文章的综合理解能力。从文章的第一部分司知，这对夫妇此前还没有想过租家具，可见在他们的家乡，这种做法还不流行。文章的最后(The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new，and they are not sure what their neighbors might think)讲了这种观念还很新，但并没有说这种观念不被人接受，因此，选A是错误的。选项C过于片面，除了钱不够的人想租家具，还有其他人，如有国际业务的人、驻外的政府官员、外国留学生、飞机工作人员等。选项D在文中未提到。9【答案】B。【解析】本题是对考生综合能力的测试。选项B(一种获取家具的新途径)既概括了主题，又有吸引力。而选项D(一种新观念)过于笼统，不合适。有些考生选择A，是因为他们没有真正弄懂中心，实际上文章的重点在于租家具这一观念，而不是买不买家具的问题。10【答案】D。【解析】从文中，可以看到这一完整而明确的信息。11【答案】A。【解析】细节题。根据短文的第一句A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the selfmade man，“崇尚自我奋斗是美国文化的特点”。12【答案】B。【解析】推断题。根据第二段的第一句This attitude toward manual (体力的)labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life“在美国生活的方方面面，尊重体力劳动态度的现象仍然随处可见”，可以推断女主人亲自下厨，是因为她以能做这样的体力活而自豪。13【答案】D。【解析】词义猜测题。wait on table意为“为顾客服务”，下文的washing dishes也有一定的暗示意义，故答案为D。14【答案】A。【解析】作者态度推断题。通览全文，作者对“美国崇尚自我奋斗、尊重体力劳动的文化习惯”持肯定态度。negative“否定的”；critical“批评的”。15【答案】B。【解析】主旨题。纵观全文，文章主要讲了美国崇尚自我奋斗，尊重体力劳动的文化习惯。故答案为B。第三部分：词汇与结构（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）1620 DCCCD 16【答案】D。【解析】client：客户，委托人；customer：消费者；supporter：支持者； guest：客人 17【答案】C。【解析】fee：费用（会费，学费等），酬金；tip：小费；fare：（火车、汽车等交通）费用； cost：成本，价钱，代价18【答案】C。【解析】kill time 消磨时间19【答案】C。【解析】both and 连接的名词短语共同做句子的主语，所以谓语动词用复数形式。20【答案】D。【解析】never出现在句首，句子应该倒装；而选项B与后面的see不一致，所以选D。第四部分：完型填空空第五部分：英译汉（满分15分）31你不必去了，他已经知道那件事了。32众所周知，中国是一个发展中国家。33大气中的气体、水和岩石都是无机物中最普通的实例。第六部分：写作（满分15分）参考范文The Digital ProductsNowadays, digital products are enjoying growing popularity among people.
