13、 in our home.A. some type of a B. some types of aC. some type ofD. some types of【考点】考查名词和冠词的用法。【答案】C【解析】本题一般。句意：由于燃料供应有限以及人们的浪费，我们将不得不在家里安装某种太阳能供暖设施。固定搭配。在sort of, kind of和type of后面，冠词a/an通常省略。另外，some在这里指不确 定的“某种，某个”而非具体的“一些”，所以A.some type of是正确选项。故选C项。22. The priest ma

14、de the _ of the cross when he entered the church.A. mark B. signalC. signD. gesture【考点】考查名词词义辨析。【答案】C【解析】本题一般。.句意：牧师进入教堂的时候做了一个+的标记。mark 一般指眼睛看到的 事物留下的深刻印迹或某物上用于辨别该物品的附属物，分数、做标记 比 sign 更侧重于区别性或揭示性的标志，有时不一定十分直观或明显。symbol 象征一般是指象征意义性的标志，可是实物也有可能是虚有的；sign多指不可见的，表示 迹象 、情绪，性格的直观显示，还指具体的用于识别或指示的标志，如指标牌，卡片

17、过去事实，而A. must多指现在或将来的情况，一般不用来 表示过去必须做某事，据此排除。B. must have done sth.表示对过去行为的推测、猜想，不一定是事实，与句意不符。D. could指“一般的能力”，通常不表示某人在某一场合设法做了某事，故不正确。C. was able to专用于过去的具体场合，尤其指“具有能力完成某件有难度的事情”，因此C是正确答案。25. There are still many problems ahead of us, but by his time next year we can see li

18、ght at the end of the _.A. battle B. dayC. roadD. tunnel【考点】考查名词。【答案】B 【解析】本题一般。句意：我们面前仍然有很多问题，不过到明年这个时候，我们就能看到曙光了。固定短语用法。虽然四个选项都可以搭配词组at the end of，但light at the end of the tunnel是 英语中的俗语，表示“曙光在前，胜利在望”的意思。其他选项都不能表达这个特定含义，所以选项D正确。A.战役；B.天；C.路；D.地道，隧道；根据句意

25、B。A. so as to“以便.”，表目的，不合句意。C、D无此用法。33. The meeting was put off because we _ a meeting without John.A. objected having B. were objected to having C. objected to have D. objected to having【考点】考查动词短语。【答案】D 【解析】本题一般。句意：会议被延迟因为反对没有约翰就举行会议。Object to doing sth. 反对做某事，符合题意，故选D项。34. Since the earl

38、所在句的意思是“不过一般来说，特别是对学生或是那些刚参加工作的人而言， 实现这一理想要受到经济和地理位置的实际限制。”故D正确。38【考点】考查名词词义辨析。【答案】C 【解析】本题较难。本句讲缺钱的后果，cash lacking意为“缺钱”，因此选项C是正确答案。39【考点】考查动词短语词义辨析。【答案】C 【解析】本题一般。本句是讲“缺钱的话，离校后只有住在家里，生活才能凑合过去”get by表示“对付，应付 过去”，因此选项C为正确答案。40【考点】考查动词词义辨析。【答案】A 【解析】这一句的意思是“直到经济状况好转”。只有improve表达“好转，改善”的意思，所

39、以选A。 enhance表示“增强，提高”，为及物动词，develop“发展”和proceed“进行，继续下去”，都没有“变好”的意思。41【考点】考查名词词义辨析。【答案】D【解析】根据上下文可知，作者此处想要表达的意思是“住在家里有一些明显的优势”，如：洗衣服可以 和家里人的一起洗了。因此很明显选merits 42【考点】考查副词词义辨析。【答案】C【解析】这句话是说：学生大学毕业后依然和父母住在一起，还是同先前一样，衣物不分彼此和家人的衣 物一起清洗。因此选A. still“仍然”，强调某种以前的状况一直持续存在。43【考点】考查动词短语词义辨析。【答案】C【解析】根据句意，这里要填“拜

40、访”的意思，故C正确。（词汇线索题。A. call in 和C. call upon都有“拜访”的意思，但call in后面不能直接跟宾语，“拜访某人/某地”必须是call in on sb./ call in at some place。而call on /upon 却可以直接跟宾语，B. call over“点名，按顺序读出”和D. call out“大声叫唤”明显与句意不合。44【考点】考查副词词义辨析。【答案】A【解析

41、】根据上下文可知，这一句仍然是讲住在家里的好处：“几乎没有什么支付费用的责任”，因此这里 应该选表示“几乎没有，很少”等意义的副词，scarcely符合题意，故A正确。scarcely和little都有否定意义，但little作为限定词修饰名词时，名词前的定冠词the必须去掉，即只能说there is little responsibility,所以C不能选。  45【考点】考查词词义辨析。【答案】B【解析】根据句意可知，年轻人住在家里很大程度上取决于家人相处是否融洽，因此此空应使用不定代词 much作depend on的主语，故选B项。 46

42、【考点】考查连词词义辨析。【答案】A【解析】从句意看，你可能爱你的家人，但你不一定喜欢他们的行为方式，因此这里是一个转折，A是正确选项。47【考点】考查形容词词义辨析。【答案】D【解析】这道题的关键是要理解prepared的意思，在此处意为“愿意”，常后接动词不定式to do，所选 的应该是具体情景下的行为反应，lenient的动作性最强，意思是“你愿意容忍父母的盘问吗？”因此D是正确答案。A. moderate温和的；B. hostile“敌对的” 和C. indifferent“漠不关心的”都不符合句意。48【考点】考查动词词义辨析。【答案】D【解析】本句话的意思是“如果你发现和

43、家人无法妥协，而你终于有钱搬出去住了，你如何着手寻找其他 住处呢？”根据句意和词汇搭配可知，compromise是最佳选择，故选D项。agreement指“意见统一”时为不可数名词，因此不能用于此处；consensus“大家一致同意的意见”，如： ideal“互惠互利的交易、协议”。49【考点】考查动词词义辨析。【答案】B【解析】这一句要表达的意思是“你如何着手寻找其他住处？” A. continue继续；B. Commence开始，着手；C. Commend推荐，表扬；D. confirm 证实；根据句意，应选B项。50【考点】考查副词词义辨析。【答案】D【解析】从上下文及常识可以知道，待在

44、本地很容易获取各种房源信息。因此这里要填表示确定语气的词，到本句是由“如果”引导，表示推测语气，probably更符合逻辑，即“待在本地”并不必然肯定“获得各种房源信息”，而只是很有可能。因此选D. likely 可能的，符合题意。故选D项。51【考点】考查词词义辨析。【答案】B【解析】根据句意：如果你打算待在本地，很可能你已经了解到各种房源机会了，因为朋友和当地报纸总 是不错的信息来源，故B正确。52【考点】考查词词义辨析。【答案】D【解析】根据上下文可知：这一句要表达的是与“待在本地”相反的意思，即“去外地，去一个陌生的地方”，所以只能选D项. A. familiar与句意相反；B. co

45、ld和C. humid为不相关选项。53【考点】考查连词词义辨析。【答案】A【解析】这一句要表达的意思是“在外地你仍然可以找到报纸和房屋中介，只不过要多加小心”，因此我们要寻找表示让步、转折关系的连词，很明显选A。While也可以表示让步，但一般只放在句首。since“自从.，既然”和as“当.，因为”表达的是时间、因果关系，没有让步的意思。54【考点】考查名词词义辨析。【答案】B【解析】本句的意思是“通过房屋中介 找房的时候要小心谨慎，以防被骗”。A. passion热心；B. prudence谨慎，小心；C. carelessness粗心；D. concern关心。根据句意，应选B项。55

46、【考点】考查名词词义辨析。【答案】B【解析】equivalent是“等价物”的意思，文中(the fee is) the equivalent of the first weeks rent表示“中介费相当于第一周的租金”。B是正确答案。equal是指“在能力、地位、权利、责任等方面同等的人，匹敌者”， same通常与as搭配。Similarity“相似性，类似点”不符句意。3640ADCCA4145 DCCAB4650ADDBD5155BDABB第四部分：阅读理解(每小题2分，共15小题，满分30分)请
