B。 remi nder提醒的东西；memory记忆力；in formation信息（不可数名词）；symbol标志，象征。2. C。make a good impression on sb.意为“给某人留下好印象”，故C项符合题意。 make adecisi

23、on意为“做出决定”。3. D o in a while 一会儿以后；in a hurry 急急忙忙地；in good time 及早；尽早；in a flash 一瞬间。选项D符合题意，强调时间极短。4. D。考查形容词作状语。nervous and embarrassed紧张的又局促不安的，描述主语的状态。5. A。be likely to do可能做某事。四个选项都有“可能的”意思，但是只有likely可以用“人”作主语。6. A。句意：我祖父退休后，从事绘画一段时间，但不久就对此失去了兴趣。take up开始从事；save up 储存；keep up 保持；draw up 拟订，制定，

24、起草。7. Co be faced with “面临，面对”，固定短语，这里用过去分词作状语，去掉be。8. D。absorbed in专注于，全神贯注于；absorb （吸引）与所修饰词“ the student”是被动关系，用过去分词作定语。9. A。speed up加速（行驶）；keep up继续，维持；hold up举起，阻挡；sweep up打扫，清扫。句意：当时那些卡车，装满了救灾物资，正加速向地震受灾地区行驶。10. D o lose sight of “看不见”，为及物动词短语；而 out of sight虽意为“看不见”，但不能独立作谓语；A、B表达形式有误，故 D项正确。二

25、. 根据汉语提示填空：1. sta nding;2. With win dows broke n;3. Having bee n locked; 4. followed by the stude nts;5. If give n more water;6. En couraged by the teacher "swords;7. were determ ined to study hard三、完形填空1. C。receive a test 接受了一个测试。2. A。against an average of 100, scored 160.表示"与 100 这一智商平均值

26、对照，我得了160分”。从160分可知，100不是总分（total），而且可以与个人得分对照的应该是 平均分。3. B。用possibly表示作者的推测：这个修车工的如果参加这样的智商测试得分不会超过80，因为不是确切知道，其他三选项不合题意。4. D。yet在此处表示转折，意为“然而，但是”，说明“我”的智商虽然很高，但是我却要求助于智商比我低一倍的人。5. A。fix修理；汽车出问题了，强调的是修理好，而不是“检查（check）”等。6. C。design设计。如果给我修车的人设计智商测试题的话.7. D。从下句的“ do poorly”可知，由任何一个修车工设计测试题的话，我都会证明是个

27、傻瓜。& C。“我”与修车工的区别在于他用双手工作，所以此处选han ds。句意：在一个我不得不用双手工作的地方，我会做得很差。9. A。作者想从另一方面再次介绍这个修车工，所以用again。10. B。从下文他在与作者开玩笑可知。joke玩笑；lie谎话；tale故事，传说。11. D。需要钉子，所以去商店买，所以选need。boug ht表示做过“买”这一动作了，不能选。12. B。从下文店员拿给他一把锤子，可知他做的动作应是“用锤子钉”。hammer这里是动词，加-ing形式作定语。13. C。他想表达否定，一般应该是摇头。nod点头。14. A。 “拿来”钉子，选 brough

28、t。15. D。修车工讲的另一个人，用“ next”表示“下一个”；没有什么对错、聪明愚笨的分别，排除A、C ;表示“另一个”，要用an other, other意为“其他的”。16. B。你猜他怎样要剪刀？提问的是方式。17. C。因为是盲人，嗓子并没有出问题，当然直接说就可以了。18. A。句意：我今天一直在我所有的顾客身上试验.。修车工是想试试看谁会出错。19. A。句意： ，我确切的知道我会抓住你。at onee /right now 立刻，马上；in fact实际上。从下文修车工的分析看，他确信这个结果。20. D。从goddamned （咀咒的，该死的）及上文的故事情节可知，修车工

29、认为作者受教 育过多，变得不怎么聪明了。四、阅读理解1. B。What con tributes to it?意为"这种现象怎样出现的呢？”，在此处用于连接前后两段，前段提出问题，用此句引出下段的原因分析。2. F。从上句可知：因为网上申请和普通申请程序都简单多了，所以申请人都申请多个大学，这也就意味着可能有几个录取学校可以选择了。3. D。上文说普通大学为了招生会做些努力，而名牌大学却忽视这些，这也可能使生源流失。4. G。此句意为“他们不能像以前计划的那样负担得起大学费用了”，说明上句“经济疲软使父母紧张”的原因。5. A。选项A是此段的主题句，是名牌学校录取率下降的另一原因。从下文可知随着生育高峰的一代的最后一批学生毕业，高中毕业生的数量会有下降趋势，所以名牌学校 还要面对人口的变化的问题。五、书面表达 参考范文：Life in the futureNobody can imagi ne what will hap
