The only thing you can do is experiment 2 you find a system that does work for you. But two things are sure: 3 else can do your studying for you, and u

Get them out of the way and then go to the more difficult, time consuming work. 1.A.goodB.easilyC.sufficientlyD.well答

47、案:D解析 本题考查语法。well是副词，good是形容词，修饰动词应该用副词，所以A不可。与后面相比较的doesnt work at all for others可知此处应填一个与doesnt work at all意义相反的词，显然B、C不能满足这个要求。故应选D。2.A.untilB.afterC.whileD.so答案:A解析 本题考查句意理解。此句的意思是“你一直进行尝试，直到找到适合自己的学习方法”。因而此处的连词要表达“直到”的意思。所以应选A。3.A.somebodyB.nobodyC.everybodyD.anybody答案:B解析 本题考查句意理解。解题线索是空格后的els

48、e，两个词连起来表示“除了你自己，别的任何人都不能”。所以应选B。4.A.followB.goC.operateD.work答案:D解析 本题考查词义的辨析。work常用于抽象的意义，表示起作用的意思。故应选D。5.A.behindB.afterC.slowD.later答案:A解析 本题考查固定搭配。get (fall, be) behind表示落后的意思，根据上下文，显然是说，我们在学习上是不要落后。所以应选A。6.A.hardlyB.unpleasantC.hardD.heavy答案:C解析 本题考查词义辨析。此处要求填一个形容词，故可排除A。又根据上下文，可以推理出这句话的意思应该是“

49、开始时是很困难的，你几乎不可能在一周内完成三周的工作。”这里谈的是难度的问题，因此其他的答案是不合适的。所以应选C。7.A.improbableB.necessaryC.impossibleD.inevitable答案:C解析 本题考查句意理解。根据从句中的意思来判断本题的答案。不管选哪个答案，我们都知道要在一周内做三周的事，毫无疑问，应当说这是几乎不可能的。故正确答案为C。8.A.three weeks workB.three weeks worksC.three weeks workD.three weeks works答案:C解析 本题考查名词的数。三周肯定是复数，week必须是复数形式

50、；work是不可数名词。故应选C。9.A.EvenB.AlmostC.IfD.with答案:A解析 本题考查的是篇章词汇。解本题有两种方法：第一种方法从篇章的角度着手，本段承接上面一段，说的是学习的困难，在这里显然是说“即使”是读得最快的人也有困难，选A顺理成章；第二种方法从句法着手，因为这是一个简单句，显然不能填连词和介词，故C、D明显错误。单就本句来说，选almost也是不能的。所以应选A。10.A.to doB.doingC.at doingD.with doing答案:B解析 本题考查固定搭配。have troubling后要求接动名词，表示在做某事时有困难。所以应选B。11.A.tu

51、rned inB.tuned upC.turned outD.given in答案:A解析 本题考查短语动词的辨析。Turn in的意思是“交上去，上交”，符合文意。turn up 出现；turn out，出来；结果是；given in，让步。12.A.veryB.quiteC.suchD.too答案:D解析 本题考查句意理解。此处表示“过晚”之意，用too。所以应选D。13.A.anywayB.eitherC.at allD.too答案:C解析 本题考查句型。“根本不”的英文表达是“notat all”。所以应选C。14.A.solutionB.methodC.answerD.excuse答

52、案:D解析 本题考查名词辨析。这一句及其下一句是说因为你在别的科花的时间太多而在另一科落后，前者不是后者的理由。所以此处要选表示“借口、理由”意思的词，即是excuse。所以应选D。15.A.helpB.encourageC.assistD.improve答案:A解析 本题考查动词辨析。表示笼统的“有用”的动词是help。encourage，鼓励；assist，帮助；improve，提高。所以应选A。16.A.expenseB.payC.debtD.charge答案:A解析 本题考查固定搭配。at the expense of的意思是“以为代价”。所以应选A。17.A.devoteB.putC

53、.spendD.take答案:A解析 本题考查固定搭配。注意后面的介词to，devote to，致力于，是一个固定搭配。所以应选A。18.A.WhicheverB.WhateverC.HoweverD.Wherever答案:B解析 本题考查句型。whatever the reason，无论什么原因，是固定搭配，有时后边会加上 may be。所以应选B。19.A.attractionB.decisionC.temptationD.dilemma答案:C解析 本题考查上下文理解。前面所说的明显是一种诱惑，所以要选temptation。attraction，吸引； decision，决定；dilem

54、ma，进退两难的处境。所以应选C。20.A.arrangementsB.wayC.assignmentsD.class答案:C解析 本题考查上下文理解。前面说的是上什么什么课的事，所以选A项class。arrangement，安排； way，道路，方法；assignment，作业。Section Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections: Read the following four texts.

55、on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1 By the Treaty of Paris of 1763, which ended the war with the French and the Indians, England gained possession of Canada and all the territory east of the Mississippi River.
