While I am not 1 nature an unreasonable or biased person, two 2 and striking personal experiences of rock music 3 the past two weeks have persuaded me that it has become a duty for those of us with enough common 4 to see its potential dangers to point them out. My first experience - perhaps a 5 one, but highly symptomatic - was the realization that if I spoke to my teenage son when he was listening to rock music through headphones, he replied in an 6 loud voice, as if there was something wrong with his 7 . The second occurred when I went with him to a concert and witnessed for 8 what these affairs are like.Till I went to that concert, my first and assuredly my last, I had always 9 the live-and-let-live attitude that rock music was simply not my 10 but that other people had every right to en joy it if it was 11 . But what I saw and heard convinced m e that we are allowing something very powerful to take 12 of the younger generation. In the first place, I noticed 13 collective madness, brought about by the noise 14 . But secondly, and far more dangerously, I observed that after a time everyone was carried 15 by the noise, and gave up his/her individuality. 16 the end I was in the middle of a faceless 17 who clapped and stamped and jumped around like monkeys. It was the most degrading human spectacle I have ever had the 18 to witness, and I seriously believe that 19 our present younger generation would thank us if we managed to put 20 to it now.1.AinBfromCbyDwith2.AlifelessBvividCenergeticDlively 3.AforBfromCalongDduring 4.AsenseBknowledgeCideaDfeeling 5.AmajorBminorCmainDsubordinate 6.AunreasonablyBunattractivelyCunfairlyDunnaturally 7.AlisteningBearChearingDmind 8.AmyselfBhimselfCourselvesDthemselves9.AadaptedBadoptedCadjustedDadmired 10.AbeliefBdesireCappetiteDtaste11.AtheirsBoursCmineDhis12.ApossessionBnoticeCcareDthe place 13.AsuchBtheCanyDa14.AstandardBlevelCpollutionDgrade15.AoutBoffCalongDon 16.AAtBByCInDAb out 17.AgangBswarmCcrowdDthrong 18.AfortuneBluckChardshipDmisfortune19.Awith timeBon timeCin time t o comeDin no time20.Aa stopBthe handCour mindsDa word Key to Model Test 11.C2.B5 3.D4.A.B6.D7.C8.A9.B10.D11.A12.A13.D14.B15.C16.B17.C18.D19.C20.A考研英语知识运用解题技巧仿真试题(2)Model Test 2Some things belong to the unexplained mysteries of Life. They are often inconvenient, frequently useless, 1 boring, yet we are called 2 to admire them just because they are there. Among these mysteries I have always 3 Grand Opera. On the rare occasions 4 I have been obliged to attend such performances, 5 has always seemed strange to me that an otherwise 6 person who, for example, wants an urgent message 7 , should find it necessary to make his 8 in song at the top of his 9 . In fact it often takes five minutes or so 10 a message of this sort is properly understood by the person who is to 11 it. A simple statement such as, Please tell the Countess I 12 for her by the fountain at midnight, would not take five seconds to say.Even more strange is the behavior of persons taken prisoner in Grand Opera. A supposedly dangerous spy, or 13 like, will keep his guards calmly waiting, even joining in 14 chorus, while he indulges in an aria which 15 has little or nothing to do with the plot. It doesnt stop there. 16 in goal, prisoners, particularly those who have been wrongly imprisoned, are given to singing arias in voices of 17 power that it is a wonder the other prisoners do not complain, and even more surprising that the guards do not arrive to see what all the noise is about.Most peculiar of all, however, is the conduct of heroines, 18 dying or about to commit suicide. Stabbed through the heart, preparing to d rink poison or leap from castle walls, these ladies can still announce in song t heir departure from this world 19 effortlessly to top notes, even on occasion providing an encore for 20 audiences .1.AevenBstillCmuchDnevertheless2.AoffBoverCuponDfor3.AseenBclassedCvisitedDwaited4.AthatBwhichCbeforeDwhen 5.AthisBtheseCitDthat 6.AsensibleBsensationalCsenselessDsensual 7.AdeliveringBto deliverCbe deliver edDdelivered8.AdemandBrequisiteCrequestDrequirement 9.AnotesBtoneCpitchDvoice10.AafterBbeforeCuntilDbecause 11.AdeliverBreadCwriteDhear 12.Awill be waitingBwaitCam waiti ngDam to wait 13.AaBtheCsomeDany 14.AatBwithCforDas15.AregularlyBseldomCfrequentlyDinfrequently 16.ABecauseBOnceCThoughDBefore17.AgreatBmuchCmightyDsuch 18.AwhetherBeitherCbothDneither 19.AraisingBarisingCrisingDincreasing20.AappreciativeBappreciatedCappreciableDappreciatingKey to Model Test 21.A2.C3.B3.D5.C6.A7.D8.C9.D10.B11.A12.A13.B14.D15.C16.B17.D18.B19.C20.A考研英语知识运用解题技巧仿真试题(3)Model Test 3Promptness is important in American business, academic, and social settings. The 1 of punctuality is taught to young children in school . Today slips and the use of bells signal to the child that 2 and time itself are to be respected.People who keep 3 are considered dependable. If people are 4 to job interview, appointments, or classes, they are often 5 unreliable and irresponsible. In the business set ting, time is money and companies may 6 their executive for tardiness to business meetings. Of course, it is not always possible to b e punctual. Social and business etiquette also provides rules for 7 arrivals. Calling 8 the telephone if one is going to be more than a few minutes late for 9 appointment s is 10 polite and is often expected. Keeping a friend waiting 11 ten to twenty minutes is considered rude. 12 , arriving thirty minutes late to some parties is acceptable. Respecting deadlines is also important in academic and professional 13 . 14 that deadlines for class assignments or business reports will be met. Students who 15 assignments late may be surprised to 16 that the professor will 17 their grade or even refuse to 18 their work. 19 it is a question of arriving on time or of meeting a deadline, people are 20 conditioned to regular time.1.AintegrityBimportanceCscrutinyDobituary2.ApunctualityBtardinessCadventDregularity3.AengagementsBappointmentsCaccomplishmentsDendorsements4.AleftBreluctantClateDpotential5.Aviewed asBapprehendedCafflictedDpredicted6.AenvisageBsueCfineDpersecute7.AtimelyBlateCuntimelyDpunctual 8.AonBinCatDto 9.AearlyBlateCmadeDscheduled10.AdelayedBconsideredChamperedDinhibited11.AbeyondBatCupDon 12.AThusBOn the other handCNeverthelessDNaturally13.AcirclesBcommunitiesCsectionsDconstituents14.AIt is necessaryBBe sureCIt is expectedDPeople assume 15.Ahand inBhand offChand overDhand on16.AratifyBapproveCfindDcomprehend17.AappreciateBvaryCbelittleDlower18.AgradeBimpartCresumeDsubmit19.AEitherBWhetherCNeitherDAlthough20.AculturallyBincessantlyCperenniallyDdeliberatelyKey to Model Test 31.B2.A3.B3.C5.A6.C7.B8.A9.D10.B11.A12.B13.A14.C15.A16.C17.D18.A19.B20.A考研英语知识运用解题技巧仿真试题(4)Model Test 4Literature is one of the great creative and universal means of communicating the emotional, spiritual, or intellectual 1 of mankind. Like fine music and art, fine literature is 2 by imagination, meaningfulness of expression, and good form and technique. The 3 literary forms are prose and verse, and within these basic classifications there 4 innumerable varieties in 5 to style and form as well as purposes: novels, plays, short stories, essay s, biographies, lyric poetry, narrative poetry, and epics. Literature may 6 and inform, entertain, express personal joy or 7 , reflect religious devotion, glorify a nation or hero, or 8 a particular point of view - whether it 9 political, social, or aesthetic.Most literature in modern times is written and printed, 10 there is also a long history of oral literature. Oral literature may be 11 back to earliest times - to ancient Greece and to medieval Europe, 12 traveling poets entertained audiences by reciting their works. 13 , some of the great literary masterpieces, such as Homers Iliad and Odyssey, probably were 14 orally. The oral tradition is still alive today in folk literature, 15 stories and poems are 16 by word of mouth from generation to generation.Some literature such as lyric poetry, is almost a private experience - 17 to be read and savored by an individual. 18 forms of literature, such as the drama, are designed to be seen and heard in a 19 setting. However, all great literature, whether a private or a shared experience, by expressing basic truths that are 20 to all of mankind, evokes a deeply responsive chord.1.AfeelingsBconcernsCvaluesDmorals 2.AclassifiedBappreciatedCcharacterizedDevaluated3.AfinestBeasiestCsimplestDbroadest4.AcontainBexistCremainDinclude5.AregardBviewCcontrastDaddition 6.AinstructBcommentClectureDsuggest7.AhatredBexcitementCpainDhappiness8.AexplainBillustrateCdescribeDadvocate9.AwereBis beingCbeDh as been 10.AorBforCandDbut 11.AtracedBdatedCidentifiedDretrieved12.AbecauseBwhenCwhileDw here 13.AIn caseBIn factCIn particularDIn general 14.AexpressedBrecordedCperformedDcomposed15.Ain whichBof whichCto whichDfor which 16.Ahanded backBhanded outChanded downDhanded off 17.AconsideredBthoughtCmeantDknown 18.ASomeBOtherCFewDMany 19.AcommunalBnationalCcollectiveDnatural 20.ApeculiarBequalCvaluableDcommon Key to Model Test 41.B2.C3.D3.B5.A6.A7.C8.D9.C10.D11.A12.B13.B14.D15.A16.C17.C18.B19.A20.D考研英语知识运用解题技巧仿真试题(5)Model Test 5Lets look at some English idioms and see whether we can discover their origins . For example, you might hear an English person say:“Ive got a bone to pick with you.”As with all idioms, that doesnt 1 mean what it says. The speaker means that he wants to discuss something you have done which has upset him in 2 . He probably wants you to explain your 3 why you did something that caused him a problem .This idiom 4 with the image of a dog picking, or gnawing, at a bone. The dog is 5 a problemhow to get at whatever meat is still there. He 6 the bone about and attacks it from all 7 , trying to crack open the bone and get at t he delicious marrow. 8 this the phrase“a bone to pick”came to mean“a difficulty to solve”. That expression is 9 used in modern English, but we have 10 the more complicated image of two dogs fighting over the same bone, both of them 11 to solve the same problem. It was that which 12 the idiom“having a bone to pick with someone.” 13 “bone”idiom is“to feel something in your bones”. You say that when your 14 tells you that something is true, 15 you cannot prove it. You have a strong feeling, in other words, that 16 from inside. The word“bones”, 17 , is sometimes used for“body”, as in a sentence like:“He ran as fast as his bone could carry him.”That is probably 18 we describe a lazy person contemptuously as“lazy bones”.“Lazy bones”is a 19 version of this phrase, the sort of thing a parent might say 20 to a child.1.AalwaysBoftenCnecessarilyDliterally 2.AsomewayBsomewaysCsome waysDsome way3.AwordsBbehaviorCdeedsDexplanation 4.AstartedBbeganCoriginatedDcame 5.AsolvingBfacingCfaced withDconfronted6.Agazes atBplays withCthrowsDtosses7.AanglesBwaysCdirectionsDaspects 8.ASinceBAs forCBecause ofDTherefore9.AstillBno longerCalsoDmore often 10.AretainedBremindedCremainedDrestrained 11.AtryBare tryingCtryingDhave been trying12.Aresulted toBcausedCcame toDled to13.AThe otherBAnotherCA similarDA different14.AintuitionBtuitionCinstitutionDimagination15.AalthoughBifCeven thoughDunless16.AcomesBcomeCgoDgoes 17.Aby contrastBon the contraryCb y the wayDmoreover18.AwhyBhowCwhatDwhen19.AbetterBstrongerCsofterDmilder20.AsensationallyBaffectionatelyCconsciouslyDunconsciouslyKey to Model Test 51.D2.D3.B3.B5.C6.D7.A8.C9.B10.A11.C12.D13.B14.A15.C16.A17.C18.A19.D20.B 考研英语知识运用解题技巧仿真试题(6)Model Test 6Unmarried mothers are by far the fastest 1sgroupsof one-parent families in Britain. In 1991, their numbers 2 the number of the divorced for the first time. This increase worries White Hall because most 3 mothers rely on the state for their home and income.Why the increase? Its clearly 4 to the decline of marriage. Between 1981 and 1991, the number of first marriages 5 for both sexes 6 over a quarter. Many of those who did not marry chose to live together 7 . In 1979 only 3% of unmarried women lived with their boyfriends. By 1991 it had risen to a quarter. Early marriages have always been more likely to break 8 . Many single mothers lived with boyfriends 9 later walked out. Unmarried women cohabit, 10 average, for less than two years. 11 holding the baby, single mothers find it hard to 12 for themselves. Fewer than half of all single mothers living 13 have 14 to a telephone, and a mere 15% to the essential tool of modern motherhood.Social-security minister, increasingly worried about the growth in single motherhood, finds it hard to cope with it. Some 15 that 16 of welfare benefits, more generous to single mothers than married ones, may be an incentive. 17 cutting benefits to s ingle mothers would hurt their children.Single mothers and their boyfriends come from a 18 of social backgrounds, but most are poor. The 19 a womans education, the less she has to lose by 20 out of the job market to have children. The best cure, for both women and men, would be better education and more jobs.1.AgrownBgrowingCraisedDraising2.AoutweighedBoutgrewCoverstatedDovertook3.AcoupleBmarriedCsingleDdivorcing 4.AcontributeBdueCoweDascribe5.AmultipliedBsoaredCdeclinedDproliferated6.AtoBbyCforDat 7.Aor elseBon the contraryCin no wayDinstead8.AawayBthroughCdownDout9.AwhoBtheseCwhichDthat10.AofBonCaboveDt o 11.ATo leaveBLeftCLeavingDHaving left12.AfendBoffendCattendDdefend 13.AlonelyBaloneCloneDsolitary 14.ArightsBpropertyCassetsDaccess15.AinspectBretrospectCsuspectDprospect16.AefficiencyBsurvivalCavailabilityDappearance17.AAsBButCEvenDIf 18.AlineBrangeCchainDlayer19.AmoreBbetterChigherDworse20.AdroppingBcallingCprojectingDholdingKey to Model Test 61.B2.D3.C3.B5.C6.B7.D8.A9.A10.B11.B12.A13.B14.D15.C16.C17.B18.B19.D20.A考研英语知识运用解题技巧仿真试题(7)Model Test 7Its widely believed that we have already lived in the age of technology. It is sometimes 1 as all the material products of a culture, but it also includes the scientific knowledge that is 2 to material production.In the early twentieth century, Thorstein Veblen stressed the role of 3 invention in bringing about social changes. He thought that a new invention 4 slowly lead to changes in social manner and attitudes. 5 each invention makes more inventions possible, the 6 of technological development tends to speed up. Benjamin Franklin experimented with 7 in the eighteenth century, but it was a hundred years 8 . Thomas Edison moved from theory and experiment to practical 9 . In the hundred years since Edisons invention, the 10 of electricity has led to tens of thousands of inventions, 11 engines, automobiles, airplanes and computers. What to do 12 this increasing number of invention and 13 to control the social changes they produce give 14 to some of the greatest demands 15 our time.Industrialization-the process of moving from hand tools to power 16 - has led to a number of social changes. A 17 economy requires specialized factory workers and trained 18 to watch over them; therefore, the required level of education 19 to increase. The growth of a more educated middle class tends to 20 inequalities by distributing income more widely.1.AregardedBconsideredCdefinedDclassified2.AappliedBreferredCusedDput 3.AtechnologyBtechniqueCtechnologicalDtechnical4.AshouldBmightCwouldDcould 5.AWhileBSinceCUnlessDBecause6.AproportionBrateCratioDpercentage7.AenergyBelectricityCfuelDoil8.AbeforeBthatCafterDsince9.AapplicationBapplicationsCusageDusages10.AdiscoveryBcreationCinventionDemergence11.AconcludingBinvolvingCincludingDcontaining12.AwithBaroundCaboutDas13.AwhatBhowCwhyDwhen 14.AwayBupCriseDoff15.AforBinCofDa t16.AmachineBtoolCmachineryDmeans17.AspecialBspecializedCspeci
