【答案】第1题:B

第2题:D

第3题:D

第4题:B

第5题:D

【解析】1.主旨大意题。由题干定位到文章第二段“Iwouldliketomakeanoutrageoussuggestionthatwouldatonestrokeprovidefundsforarchaeologyandreducetheamountofillegaldigging.（我想提出一个令人发指的建议，政府应为考古学提供资金，并减少非法挖掘的数量。）”。A选项“博物馆文物陈列的替代品”；B选项“在有益于考古行业的同时遏制非法挖掘的方法”；C选项“区分有科学价值和没有科学价值的文物的方法”；D选项“政府对考古遗址的管制”。联系全文可知B选项更符合题意。

2.细节事实题。由题干可定位到文章第四段“Thereisnotenoughmoneyeventocataloguethefinds;asaresult,theycannotbefoundagainandbecomeasinaccessibleasiftheyhadneverbeendiscovered.（甚至没有足够的钱来整理这些发现；结果，它们再也找不到了，变得像从未被发现过一样难以接近。）”。A选项“博物馆官员很少允许学者接触这些文物”；

B选项“占用了可以更好地用于展示的空间用于存储”；C选项“在发掘中发现的文物往往彼此分离”；D选项“这类工件通常保持未编目状态，因此一旦放入存储中就无法定位”。因此D选项正确。

3.细节事实题。由题干可定位到文章第二段“Iwouldproposethatscientificarcheologicalexpeditionsandgovernmentalauthoritiessellexcavatedartifactsontheopenmarket.Suchsaleswouldprovidesubstantialfundsfortheexcavationandpreservationofarchaeologicalsitesandthepublicationofresults.（我建议，科学的考古考察和政府当局在公开市场上出售发掘出来的文物。这种销售将为挖掘和保存考古遗址以及公布结果提供大量资金。）”。A选项“潜在购买者更愿意购买经过认证的文物”；B选项“非法挖掘文物的价格会上涨”；C选项“计算机可以用来追踪出售的文物”；D选项“出售经过鉴定的文物所得的钱可以用来调查和起诉非法挖掘者”。因此D选项正确。

4.细节事实题。由题干可定位到文章最后一段“Butthedemandfortheclandestineproductwouldbesubstantiallyreduced.（但对这种秘密产品的需求将大大减少。）”由此可知复制的工件会供过于求，于是这些工件会大量涌现，最终会导致对这些畅销品的需求下降。因此B选项正确。

5.判断推理题。由题干可定位到文章第三段“InonesmallexcavationinCyprus,archaeologistsrecentlyuncovered2,000virtuallyindistinguishablesmalljugsinasinglecourtyard…（在塞浦路斯的一次小型发掘中，考古学家最近在一个院子里发现了2000个几乎无法辨认的小陶罐。）”，由此可推断出塞浦路斯可能会成为复制品的主要市场来源。A选项“非法挖掘最终将完全停止”说法太过绝对化，文章并未提到完全终止。B选项“考古学家将能够比现在更频繁地公布他们的发掘成果”，如果复制工件合法化，考古学家会更愿意公开他们的挖掘成果。因此D选项正确。

5.翻译题

【答案】36.对许多人来说，全球金融和经济危机证实了现有的反全球化情绪，并且反映在反对更加自由化的贸易。在金融危机造成的混乱下，许多国家正试图减少进口或施加其他贸易限制。

37.对世贸组织成员国而言，公开形式的保护主义或以邻为壑的政策受限于他们所同意的规则。然而，符合世贸组织规则和义务的贸易壁垒仍有很大的增加空间，包括将适用关税提高到更高的上限。

38.在从全球金融危机中复苏的过程中，一个危险在于，各国可能会试图从不断下降的国际贸易量中分得更大的份额，而不是试图通过帮助其宏观经济恢复健康来促进贸易流动的复苏。2009年2月，美国发布经济刺激计划，其中包括“购买美国货”的条款，有的人把这视为导致保护主义的滑坡路，也是一个令许多人担心的迹象，这表明美国在以后可能不再领导自由贸易计划。

39.其他国家对这一条款的批评似乎是基于其假定影响和人们的担心，即使是目前规模相对较小的“购买美国货”条款也可能开创先例，进而打开闸门，为其他国家的“渐进式保护主义”循环提供借口。

6.单选题

Apartfromaninteresting-lookingcarveddagger,heboxwasfullofcrockery,muchofit（）.

问题1选项

A.break

B.tobreak

C.breaking

D.broken

【答案】D

【解析】句意：除了一柄式样别致、雕有花纹的匕首外,货箱内装满陶器,而且大部分都已破碎。分词作状语,花瓶应该是被打碎的,所以用broken。

7.单选题

Everythingintheuniverseundergoes（

）developmentandchange.

问题1选项

A.constant

B.continual

C.continuous

D.endless

【答案】C

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A选项constant“不变的，经常的”；B选项continual“持续不断的”；C选项continuous“连续的，持续的”；D选项endless“无限的”。句意：世界上的所有事情都经历着（）发展和变化。D选项作“无休止的”的解释是一般形容不好的事物，所以不能选；

Constant：多指习惯性的重复和不变的持续，这里修饰的词语是change，所以不符合语境；

Continual：强调重复或持续发生，但连续之间允许有间断；

Continuous：语意最强，强调在时间和空间上没有间断；

这里发展和变化之间会存在着间断，所以C选项最符合题意。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:D

第3题:D

第4题:C

【解析】63.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】推理判断题。第一段提到两个例子，第一是主播大卫•格雷戈里在直播中有非法举动，但是检察官决定不起诉他，第二个例子是Reddit创始人艾伦•斯沃茨，他从一个封闭的数据库中下载学术期刊文章，检察官决定起诉他，艾伦•斯沃茨在面临可能50年监禁的情况下自杀了，结合第二段所提到的内容virtuallyanyAmericanisatriskofprosecutionshouldaprosecutordecidethattheyare（事实上，只要检察官认定，任何美国人都有被起诉的风险）可知第一段所举的两个例子是想表明检察官在起诉人时有很大的权利，很自由，选B选项“检察官在起诉人时有很大的自由裁量权”；A选项“炫耀杂志并不像下载成千上万的学术文章那么严肃”和C选项“不同地方的检察官有不同的起诉标准”原文未提及；D选项“艾伦•斯沃茨自杀了，因为他不想待在监狱里”虽然原文提及，但是只是一个例子中的一个方面，并不能概括作者举两个例子的意图。因此B选项正确。

64.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】推理判断题。根据题干定位到原文第二段Giventhevastweboflegislationandregulationthatexiststoday,virtuallyanyAmericanisatriskofprosecutionshouldaprosecutordecidethattheyare（鉴于目前存在的庞大的法律法规网络，如果检察官认定，几乎任何美国人都有被起诉的风险）可知作者在这里想表明的问题是检察官在起诉人时有很大的权利，很自由，选D选项“检察官对被大量法律放大的犯罪指控个人的自由裁量权”，同时可知A选项“缺乏违反网站条款的法律”错误，原文提到了“存在的庞大的法律法规网络”，A选项和原文相悖；B选项“任何美国人都有被起诉的风险”以及C选项“现在有太多的立法和法规”并不是第二段提出的主要问题，第二段主要想强调检察官的权利。因此D选项正确。

65.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】推理判断题。根据题干关键字“TimWu”定位到原文第三段AsTimWurecountedin2007,apopulargameintheU.S.Attorney’sofficeintheSouthernDistrictofNewYorkwastonameafamousperson—MotherTeresa,orJohnLennon—anddecidehowtheycouldbeprosecuted:“Itwouldthenbeuptothejuniorprosecutorstofigureoutaplausiblecrimeforwhichtoindicthimorher.Thecrimeswerenotusuallyrape,murder,orothercrimesyou’dseeonaTVshowbutrathertheincrediblybroadyetobscurecrimesthatpopulatetheU.S.Codelikeakindofjurisprudentialminefield…”（正如蒂姆•吴2007年所述，在纽约南区的美国检察官办公室里，一个流行的游戏是给一个名人起名——特雷莎修女，或者约翰•列侬并决定如何起诉他们：“然后由初级检察官找出一个合理的罪名来起诉他或她。这些罪行通常不是强奸、谋杀或你在电视节目中看到的其他罪行，而是充斥在美国法典中的令人难以置信的广泛而模糊的罪行，就像一个法学雷区）可知这个小游戏是决定如何用不寻常的罪行起诉名人，选D选项“普通犯罪不适合特蕾莎修女或约翰列侬”；A选项“在一些地方用来培训初级检察官”原文未提及；B选项“找出特蕾莎修女可能犯下的罪行”和C选项“找出约翰列侬可能犯下的罪行”以偏概全，排除。因此D选项正确。

66.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】观点态度题。根据题干定位到原文最后一段最后一句andtheconsequencesaredrasticandtroubling.（其后果是剧烈的和令人不安的）可知作者对于美国该情况是十分担心的，选C选项“担心”；A选项“满意”，B选项“亏本”以及D选项“有关”都不符合原文作者的态度。因此C选项正确。

9.单选题

Mr.Jonesholdsstrongviewsagainstvideogamesand（

）theclosingofallrecreationfacilitiesforsuchgames.

问题1选项

A.assists

B.acknowledges

C.advocates

D.admits

【答案】C

【解析】考查动词词义辨析。A项assist表示“帮助，协助”；B项acknowledge表示“致谢，承认”；C项advocate表示“提倡，拥护”；D项admit表示“承认，容许”。根据句中against可知作者反对电子游戏，所以应该支持closingtherecreationfacilities。句意：琼斯先生强烈反对电子游戏，提倡关闭所有的电子游戏娱乐设施。故本题正确答案为C。

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:D

第3题:B

第4题:A

第5题:B

【解析】1.【试题解析】语义推测题。题干意思是“句子‘ThebusinessofAmericaisbusiness’可能是什么意思？”。第一段truthtodaythatbusinessinstitutionshavemoreprestigeinAmericansocietythananyotherkindoforganization,includingthegovernment.（真相就是在美国社会商业机构比包括政府在内的其他任何类型的组织有更多的威望）说明美国人很关注商业。因此ThebusinessofAmericaisbusiness表达的意思是“商业是美国人第一关心的”。A选项“美国商业机构关注的是商业”，这个选项逻辑没问题，但是比较片面；B项“商业问题对美国政府很重要”和D项“美国是全球商业的强国”没提到。故该题选C。

2.【试题解析】细节事实题。题干意思是“美国人相信他们只有怎样才能实现他们的个人价值？”。第二段最后一句Competitionisnotonlygoodinitself;itisthemeansbywhichotherbasicAmericanvaluessuchasindividualfreedom,equalityofopportunity,andhardworkareprotected.（竞争不仅本身是良好的，它还是一种保护手段，其他基本的美国人价值观都是受它的保护，如个人自由、机会均等和努力工作等），由此可知美国人是可以通过竞争实现他们的个人价值。B项“通过做生意”没有提到，A项“给予平等的机会”和C项“保护个人自由”都是包括在竞争的保护机制里面，最终还是通过竞争才能实现自己的价值。因此D选项正确。

3.【试题解析】细节事实题。题干意思是“商业竞争对谁有利？”。第三段第三句ifonebusinesstriestotakeunfairadvantageofitscustomers,itwilllosetocompetingbusinesswhichtreatsitscustomersmorefairly.（如果一个商业机构试图不公平地利用它的顾客，它就会输给那些对待顾客更公平的竞争对手），由此推断出竞争不仅有利于顾客的利益，也有利于公平对待客户的商业机构。A项“诚实的商人”不够全面；C项“拥有平等和自由理想的人们”和D项“商业机构和政府”中的政府均未提及。因此B选项“商人和顾客”正确。

4.【试题解析】判断推理题。题干意思是“人们认为政府与商业有显著的不同，因为政府的特点是什么？”。第四段第一句Acontrastisoftenmadebetweenbusiness,whichiscompetitive,andgovernment,whichisamonopoly.（竞争的商业和政府的垄断总是经常拿来对比），可以推断出政府和商业竞争相比，政府的垄断是权利上的操控，B项“保护个人自由的功能”这是竞争的特点；C项“保护美国基本价值观方面的作用”没有提到；D项“行使领导的民主方式”，只提到了政府的垄断，没有提到民主。因此A选项“对权利的绝对控制”正确。

5.【试题解析】推理判断题。题干意思是“从这篇文章可以推断出作者相信什么？”。最后一段第三句CompetitivesuccessiscommonlyseenastheAmericanalternativetosocialrankbasedonfamilybackground.（竞争的成功被美国人视为基于家庭背景而产生的社会地位的替代），即美国是不依靠家庭背景决定社会地位，从而推断出，相反其他国家就要依靠社会地位。A项“美国人比其他国家的人更具野心”、C项“美国商业比其他国家更民主”和D项“其他国家的商业不像美国商业一样有竞争性”没有提到。因此B选项“许多国家的成功取决于一个人的社会地位”正确。

11.单选题

问题1选项

A.status

B.bonus

C.chorus

D.census

【答案】D

【解析】考查名词词义辨析。A选项status“地位；状态”；B选项bonus“奖金；红利；额外津贴”；C选项chorus“合唱队；齐声”；D选项census“人口普查；普查”。句意：针对住宅购买模式的一项最近普查显示，在美国很多30岁以下的人仍然在租房。由句意可知D选项正确。

12.单选题

The______ofgiftedchildrenintoacceleratedclasseswillstartnextweekaccordingtotheiracademicperformance.

问题1选项

A.segregation

B.specification

C.spectrum

D.subscription

【答案】A

【解析】考查名词辨析。A选项segregation“分离”；B选项specification“规格；详述”；C选项spectrum“光谱；频谱；范围；余象”；D选项subscription“捐献；订阅；订金”。句意：天才儿童将根据他们的学习成绩于下周开始______。根据语境，这里应该指将学生进行分班，A选项segregation“分离”符合题意。因此A选项正确。

13.单选题

TheattackonFortSumternearCharlestonprovokedasharpresponsefromtheNorth,whichledtotheAmericanCivilWar.

问题1选项

A.demanded

B.elicited

C.expedited

D.defied

【答案】D

【解析】句意：查尔斯顿附近的萨姆特堡遭袭激起了北方的强烈反应，导致了美国内战。provoked意为“激起，挑衅”。demanded强烈要求，需要；elicited抽出，引出；expedited加快，促进，发出；defied藐视，反抗，挑衅。选项D与之意思相近。
