(鉴于这次事故，我们已经把会议推迟到下个星期。)选项D：in the form of意为“以的形状”，例如：Te cookies were in the form of stars.(那些饼干的形状都像星星。)全句可译为：直到世纪，伴随着小册子、书籍和期刊的兴起，报纸成为前电子时代的主要媒体。5.答案：B speed此题属于词语搭配题。本题主要考查动词短语的含义，这是考查的一个重点。选项B：speed (up)意为“加速”，例如：The train gradually speeded up.(火车逐渐加速了。)不难看出本句的含义是“在世纪到20世纪之间，从火车、电报、电话到汽车、飞机、交通，通信业的变革速度越来越快”，故选B。选项A：gather (up)意为“收集”，例如：gather up ones papers; 选项C：work (up)意为“逐步发展”，例如：work up to a climax(渐至高潮)；选项D：pick (up)意为“捡起，学会”，例如：pick up a few words.6.答案：A on此题属于词语搭配题。选项A on可表示“持续地”，例如：He coughed on the whole night. lead on则表示“带头，走在前面”，例如：If you lead on, we will follow behind.原句很长，考生可通过分析句子结构来理解其含义。我们可以发现主语是communications revolution，而beginning与leading两个分词结构作状语，因此所填的空格要与leading这个关键词有关。因此A符合题意，是正确答案。选项Doff跟在lead之后表示“开始”，例如：She led off with a song.(她以唱歌开始。)其他的选项Bout和Cover都不能与lead搭配。7.答案：D into此题属于语法题。选项Dinto意为“进入”，强调动态，例如：work far into the night。上文中有through the telegraph.，下文是the 20th century world, 说明革命一直持续直到进入20世纪，故选D。选项Aof可表示所有、所属关系，例如：the legs of a chair。选项Bfor意为“为了”，例如：Do more exercise for the good of your health. 选项C beyond意为“超越”，例如：The town has changed beyond my recognition.全句可译为：正是在这段时间之内，从火车的发明到电报、电话、收音机、电影的发明，再到20世纪汽车和飞机的发明，交通和通讯技术的革命一直占据的地位。8.答案：D perspective此题属于语意搭配题。本题考查的是介词与名词的语意搭配。选项Dperspective意为“透视图，看法”； in perspective意为“正确地，适当地”，例如：look at things in perspective(正确地观察事物)。D 符合题意，是正确答案。选项Aconcept意为“概念”，例如：a concept of space; 选项Bdimension意为“尺度，维度”，例如：The dimension of the window is 0cm long by 0cm wide. 选项Ceffect意为“效果”；in effect意为“实际上”，相当于in fact, 例如：In effect the government has lowered the taxes for the rich and raised them for the poor.(实际上政府已经降低了富人们的税收而提高了穷人们的税收。)此题表明考生应多注意介词与名词的搭配词语。全句可译为：并不是每个人都能正确观察到这个变革的过程。9.答案：C however此题属于语篇连接题。选项Chowever意为“然而”，插入句中，前后要用逗号隔开，例如：Certainly he apologized. However, I wont forgive him. 本题所在的句子很长，又出现了四个空格，这就需要考生同时考虑分析句子的语法关系和关键词语的搭配。上文说到“观察过程本身是很重要的”；本句中又提到“20世纪初电脑的引进彻底地改变了这个过程”。那么，可以判断上下文应该是转折的关系，所以选C。选项Aindeed意为“确实，果然”，例如：I am indeed glad to hear the news. 选项B hence意为“所以”，它后面的动词往往省略，例如：Her mother is a singer, hence her love for music. 该选项也可作副词，意为“今后，从此”，例如：What will the world have become a hundred years hence? 选项Dtherefore意为“所以”，例如：We dont have enough money and therefore we have to give up the plan.答案：Bfollowed此题属于语意搭配题。上文提到20世纪初电脑的发明，接着就是60年代集成电路的发明，后者应跟随在前者之后，所以正确的答案是Bfollowed。 选项Abrought意为“带来”；选项Cstimulated意为“刺激，激励”，例如：The desire to become a successful businessman stimulated him to work hard.选项D characterized意为“以为特征”，例如：An elephant is characterized by a long trunk.(大象的特征是鼻子长。).答案：Dalthough此题属于语篇连接题。选项Dalthough可引导让步状语从句。原文从句中出现的速写词not可以看做是提示线索的标志词，因此从上下文逻辑关系来判断，D是正确答案。选项Aunless意为“除非”(if.not)，引导条件状语从句，例如：I wont go to see the film unless I finish my work. 选项Bsince意为“自从;既然”。选项Clest意为“惟恐，以防万一”，例如：She walked quietly lest she (should) wake up the child.答案：Aapparent此题属于语意搭配题。选项Aapparent意为“表面的，明显的”，例如：with apparent indifference(表面上装作漠不关心)；又如：His grief is apparent to me. 选项Bdesirable意为“值得要的，令人满意的”。例如：a desirable job，该选项可用于It is desirable for sb. to do sth. 或It is desirable that.的句型中，例如：It is desirable for you to be present.(希望你能出席。)选项Cnegative意为“否定的，消极的”，例如：a negative response。选项Dplausible意为“似是而非的”，例如：His explanation sounds fairly plausible to me. 本题考的是形容词语意的辨析，读懂整个句子后可发现A是答案。全句可译为：尽管一时之间，集成电路对媒体的影响不是很明显。然而，20世纪初发明了电脑，60年代发明了集成电路。人们开始普遍意识到这些彻底改变了这个变革的过程。.答案：Buniversal此题属于语意搭配题。选项Buniversal意为“普遍的，通用的”，例如：a universal truth。本题中需要填入一个与上文中的personal相对应的形容词，所以首先要了解personal的含义：“个人的，个性化的”。因此B 符合题意。选项Ainstitutional意为“制度的，规格化的”；选项Cfundamental意为“基本的，重要的”，例如：fundamental human rights; 选项Dinstrumental意为“仪器的，器械的”。.答案：Ccapacity此题属于词语搭配题。选项Ccapacity意为“容量”，例如：The concert hall has a seating capacity of 00.可与storage搭配，意为“(电脑储存)容量”，因此C是正确答案。另外，该选项也可意为“能力，理解力”，例如：This book is beyond young childrens capacity. (这本书超过了小孩子的理解范围。)选项Aability意为“能力，资格”，例如：the capability for the job。选项Dfaculty意为“能力”，后面常跟介词for或of ,例如：the faculty of reason；该选项还意为“(大学的)院系，全体(大学)教员”，例如：the faculty of law(法学院)。不过这三个选项都不能与storage搭配。全句可译为：随着时间的推移，电脑越来越小，功能越来越强，显示速度越来越快，储存容量越来越大，而且变得越来越个性化了。.答案：B in terms of此题属于语意搭配题。本题考查的是介词短语的习惯用法。选项Bin terms of意为“按照，在方面”，例如：A 200-year-old building is very old in terms of American history.(从美国历史来看，一栋有着200年历史的房子是很古老的。)根据题意，人们认为电脑与人一样，是一代一代的，故选B。选项Aby means of,意为“通过方法”，例如：He can express his thoughts by means of music.(他借音乐来表达思想。)选项Cwith regard to意为“关于”，例如：He wants to speak to you with regard to your financial situation.(他想就你的经济状况和你谈一下。)选项Din line with意为“与一致”，如：His idea is not in line with mine.(他的想法与我的不一致)。.答案：Dsmaller此题属于语意搭配题。本题是以独立主格的形式出现，其逻辑主语是distance, 可指空间的距离或时间的间隔，能与它相搭配的只有选项Dsmaller。注意：选项Cnearer本身就表示距离或时间的接近，所以不能修饰distance。但是我们可以说The distance is long/short。因此考生在做题时要排除汉语思维方式对英语的干扰。选项Adeeper和选项Bfewer都与本题题意不符。.答案：Acontext此题属于语意搭配题。选项A context意为“上下文”，也可意为“背景，环境”(=situation),例如：I think we need to look at these events in contest. 原句又是一个强调句型，所填空格的后面是一个定语从句，意为“我们所生活的”，而与空格相对应的是information society(信息社会)，可以判定空格的意思应与society相近，故A是正确答案。选项Brange意为“(气温、价格等浮动的)幅度”，例如：the range of the price。选项Dterritory意为“领土”。本题说明考生不仅要注意单词的第一意思，即基本意思，还应加强对单词引申义的理解。全句可译为：正是在电脑时代，“信息社会”这一说法才开始广泛地用于描述我们所生活的这个环境。.答案：Cinfluenced此题属于语意搭配题。选项Cinfluenced意为“影响”，例如：The weather in summer influenced the rice crops. 本题所填的词应与下文中的implications相对应；implications以复数形式出现时，表示possible effects or results
