【答案】第1题:D

第2题:B

第3题:C

第4题:A

第5题:C

【解析】1.推理判断题。由第一段Foragrowingnumberoftime-starvedconsumers,however,shoppingfromtheirhomecomputerwasprovingtobeaconvenientalternativetodrivingtothestore.然而，对于越来越多缺乏时间的消费者来说，事实证明，用家用电脑购物比开车去商店更方便。Foralltheconsumerinterest,retailingincyberspacewasstillalargelyunprofitablebusiness,尽管有消费者感兴趣，但网络零售在很大程度上仍是一项无利可图的业务，可知AC两项表述与原文相反，B项“消费者太忙而不会网上购物”表述有误。故D项“越来越多的消费者更喜欢网购”正确。

2.细节事实题。由第二段FindingabargainwasgettingeasierowingtotheriseofonlineauctionsandWebsitesthatdidcomparisonshoppingontheInternetforthebestdeal.由于网上拍卖和一些为了比价买最划算的产品的网站兴起，寻找便宜货变得越来越容易。可知B项正确。

3.语义题。Foralltheconsumerinterest,retailingincyberspacewasstillalargelyunprofitablebusiness,尽管消费者感兴趣，但网络零售在很大程度上仍是一项无利可图的业务。接着下文列举了亚马逊的亏损。故interest在句中意为“感兴趣”，即使很多消费者喜欢网上购物，但网上零售仍是无利可图的。故C项正确。

4.推理判断题。由InternetpioneerAmazon.Com,whichbegansellingbooksin1995andlaterbranchedintorecordedmusicandvideos…互联网先驱亚马逊。1995年，该公司开始销售图书，后来又涉足录制音乐和视频。以及analystsdidnotexpectthecompanytoturnaprofituntil2001.Despitethegreatloss,Ahadastockmarketvalueofmanybillion,reflectinginvestors’optimismaboutthefutureofindustry.分析师们预计，该公司要到2001年才会盈利。尽管损失惨重，但亚马逊的股票市值仍高达数十亿美元，反映出投资者对行业未来的乐观态度。可知A项“可能在2001年盈利”正确；B项与原文不符；C项“亚马逊只卖书”与原文不符；D项表述错误，亚马逊的股票一直很稳健。

5.判断推理题。由最后一段“Internetretailingappealedtoinvestorsbecauseitprovidedefficientmeansforreachingmillionsofconsumerswithouthavingthecostofoperatingconventionalstoreswiththeirarmiesofsalespeople.互联网零售之所以吸引投资者，是因为它提供了一种有效的方式，可以接触到数以百万计的消费者，而无需花费经营传统商店的大量销售人员的成本。可知投资者对互联网零售感兴趣的原因是通过互联网能接触到很多消费者，并且能节省成本。故C项正确。

2.单选题

Povertyandinadequatehealthcaretaketheirtollonthequalityofacommunity’shealth.

问题1选项

A.destruction

B.contribution

C.charge

D.origin

【答案】A

【解析】考查名词辨析。toll表示“代价”；A项destruction“损害，破坏”，B项contribution“贡献”，C项charge“费用”，D项origin“起源，出身”。句意：贫穷和卫生保健不足损害了社区的健康质量。根据句意可知A项正确。

3.单选题

TheheadoftheMuseumwas（）andletusactuallyexaminetheancientmanuscripts.

问题1选项

A.promising

B.agreeing

C.pleasing

D.obliging

【答案】D

【解析】考查形容词词义辨析。A选项promising表示“有希望的；有前途的”，B选项agreeing表示“赞成，同意”，C选项pleasing表示“令人高兴的，合意的”，D选项obliging表示“亲切友善的，乐于助人的”。由后文可知，博物馆负责人让我们查阅了那些古代的手抄本，所以他应该是亲切友善的，故本题正确答案为D选项。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:C

第3题:D

第4题:A

第5题:B

【解析】1.推理判断题。题目问的是“作者使用‘目光短浅’时，她正在说……”。文章第三段提到“我们在语言和文化上的近视眼以及不注意去留意他国的爱好，习惯，习俗和语言正让我们在世界上失去朋友，业务及尊重”（Ourlinguisticandculturalnearsightednessandthecasualnesswithwhichwetakenotice—whenwedoofthedevelopedtastes,mannerisms,customsandlanguagesofothercountries,arelosingusfriends,businessandrespectintheworld），选项A“比喻地”符合题意。

2.推理判断题。题目问的是“文章告诉我们……”。文章第三段提到“我们在语言和文化上的近视眼以及不注意去留意他国的爱好，习惯，习俗和语言正让我们在世界上失去朋友，业务及尊重”（Ourlinguisticandculturalnearsightednessandthecasualnesswithwhichwetakenotice—whenwedoofthedevelopedtastes,mannerisms,customsandlanguagesofothercountries,arelosingusfriends,businessandrespectintheworld），说明美国人不注重别国的习俗，选项C符合题意。

3.推理判断题。题目问的是“我们能从文章中得出……”文章最后一段提到过去美国人习惯忽视他国的语言和文化，因为那个时候美国很强大。但是已经是过去时了，我们应该意识到我们在世界上的独特作用正在改变（Butallthatispast.Weareslowlybeginningtorealizethatourproperroleintheworldischanging），说明现在美国不应该像以前那样忽视他国的语言和文化，选项D“美国人不应该忽视他国的文化”符合题意。

4.细节事实题。题目问的是“根据作者的描述，下列哪项陈述是不真实的”。文章第二段提到“给二战后占领德国的美国军队寄送包裹的美国人为了避税而在包裹上标示‘GIFT’”，而不愿麻烦去发现‘GIFT’在德语中是“毒药”的意思（ThosePrivatecitizenswhosentpackagestoourtroopsoccupyingGermanyafterW.W.IIandmarkedthemGIFTtoescapedutypaymentsdidnotbothertofindoutthatGIFTmeanspoisoninGerman），由此可知选项A的描述是不真实的，是美国人为了避税错把GIFT（毒药）当GIFT（礼物），符合题意。

5.推理判断题。题目问的是“作者可能是哪个国家的人”。文章使用的是第一人称，文章多次用“ourheritageandourculture”或者“weareslowlybeginningtorealize…”可以推测作者最有可能是美国人。选项B符合题意。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:A

第3题:C

第4题:B

第5题:D

【解析】第1题:细节推理题。题干意思是“在克雷夫科尔看来，美国梦的本质是什么？”。根据题干定位到文章第一段EarlyimmigrantslikeHectorSt.JeandeCrevecoeurpraisedhighlythefreedomandopportunitytobefoundinthisnewland.HisglowingdescriptionsofaclasslesssocietywhereanyonecouldattainsuccessthroughhonestyandhardworkfiredtheimaginationsofmanyEuropeanreaders（像克雷夫科尔这样的早期移民高度赞扬了在这片新土地上发现的自由和机会；他对一个任何人都可以通过诚实和勤奋获得成功的无阶级社会的热情洋溢的描述激发了许多欧洲读者的想象力），由此可知，在克雷夫科尔看来，这里的人只要诚实、努力工作就会获得成功的机会，而这种机会从根本上说是源自美国的自由；故D项“人们可以充分享受个人自由”符合题意。A项“人们可以自由地发展自己的想象力”，表述与原文不符合；B项“诚实和努力工作的人能成功”，表述太绝对；C项“人民从剥削和压迫中解放出来”这不属于克雷夫科尔的观点。因此，该题选择D项正确。

第2题:推理判断题。题干意思是“第一段作者通过说‘一个人的辛勤劳动所得到的回报与他的劳动进步是同等的’的意思是……”。题干的句子出现在文章第一段最后一句话Thepromiseofalandwhere“therewardsofaman’sindustryfollowwithequalstepstheprogressofhislabor”drewpoorimmigrantsfromEuropeandfuelednationalexpansionintothewesternterritories.（在这片土地上，“一个人的辛勤劳动所得到的回报与他的劳动进步是同等的”，这一承诺吸引了来自欧洲的贫穷移民，并推动了国家向西部地区的扩张），结合上一句Weareallexcitedatthespiritofanindustrywhichisunfetteredandunrestrained,becauseeachpersonworksforhimself—Wehavenoprinces,forwhomwetoil,starve,andbleed:wearethemostperfectsocietynowexistingintheworld.（我们都对一种不受束缚、不受约束的工业精神感到兴奋，因为每个人都为自己工作；我们没有为他们辛劳、挨饿和流血的君主；我们是现存于世界上最完美的社会）可知，题干的这句话的意思是一个人越勤奋得到的回报越多，故A项“一个人越勤奋，他的回报就越大”正确。B项“费力的工作确保了产业的发展”和C项“一个人的事业应该一步一步的发展”均不符合原文意思；D项“一个公司的成功取决于它的员工的努力工作”，文章没有提到公司。因此，该题选择A项正确。

第3题:细节事实题。题干意思是“阿尔杰小说中描述的人物是……”。根据题干定位到文章第二段第三句Inthenineteenthcentury,HoratioAlger,awriteroffictionforyoungboys,becameAmerican’sbest-sellingauthorwithrags-to-richestales（19世纪，年轻男孩小说作家阿尔杰凭借描写白手起家的故事成为美国畅销书作家）可知，阿尔杰小说中描述的人物是白手起家的，故C项“在开始贫穷的生活后变得富有”正确。A项“在房地产投资上很成功”不是描述阿尔杰小说的内容；B项“靠运气赚了巨大的财富”和D项“虽然出身卑微，却很出名”不正确。因此，该题选择C项正确。

第4题:推理判断题。题干意思是“从第二段的最后一句话可以推断出……”。根据题干定位到第二段最后一句Themythofsuccesshaseveninvadedourpersonalrelationships:todayit’sasimportanttobe“successful”inmarriageorparenthoodsasitistocomeoutontopinbusiness.（成功的神话甚至已经侵入了我们的人际关系：如今，在婚姻或为人父母方面取得“成功”与在事业上取得成功一样重要），由此可推断，美国人希望在婚姻、生活和事业等各方面都取得成功，故B项“美国人希望在生活的各个方面都成功”正确。A项“事业上的成功往往有助于一个成功的婚姻”和C项“良好的人际关系导致商业成功”，表述不准确；D项“成功的商人为他们的孩子提供良好的照顾”文章未提及。因此，该题选择B项正确。

第5题:推理判断题。题干意思是“作者认为美国文化的悖论是什么？”。根据文章最后一句Thesesymbolsofdistinctionassureusandothersthatwebelievestronglyinthefundamentalequalityofall,yetstriveashardaswecantoseparateourselvesfromourfellowcitizens.（这些身份差别的象征物一方面使我们坚信人人平等，另一方面我们又竭尽全力将自己和他人区分开来），由此可知美国人崇尚人人平等，但是又努力追求成功和地位，所以D项“美国人所追求的往往与他们的信仰相矛盾”表述正确。A项“美国的成功之路充满了噩梦”，原文是Butdreamseasilyturnintonightmares.（但是梦很容易变成噩梦），该项表述不准确；B项“地位的象征并不是一个人财富的真实指标”，最后一段指出Underpressureofthemyth,webecomeindulgedinstatussymbols:wetrytoliveinthe“right”neighborhoods,wearthe“right”clothes,eatthe“right”foods.（在神话的压力下，我们沉迷于地位的象征：我们试图住在“正确”的社区，穿“正确”的衣服，吃“正确”的食物），可知文章并没有把地位和财富作比较；C项“美国梦只是一个空洞的梦”，文中没有这样表述。因此，该题选择D项正确。

6.单选题

Itwassopleasingtofindabreezeupthereallayingthefervidafternoon.

问题1选项

A.incendiary

B.incandescent

C.dispassionate

D.contumacious

【答案】B

【解析】考查同义形容词辨析。A选项incendiary“纵火的，煽动性的，能引起燃烧的，非常辣的”；B选项incandescent“辉耀的，炽热的，发白热光的”；C选项dispassionate“不带感情的，平心静气的，公平的”；D选项contumacious“不听命令的，反抗法院命令的，顽固的”。句意：看到微风吹过，缓和了炎热的下午，真是令人高兴。Fervid“热情的，炽热的，热心的，热的”，B选项与该词意思最相近，因此B选项正确。

7.单选题

Thetaxi-driver（

）aboutourluggageandseemedtobeinathoroughlybadtemper.

问题1选项

A.grieved

B.groaned

C.grumbled

D.growled

【答案】C

【解析】【试题解析】考查动词辨析。A选项grieve“使悲伤，使苦恼”；B选项groan“呻吟；抱怨”；C选项grumble“抱怨，嘟囔”；D选项growl“咆哮”。分析句子结构，空格部分是和后面seem并列的谓语部分，根据“seemedtobeinathoroughlybadtemper看起来脾气很坏”可知空格部分单词意思为“对……嘟囔”，句意为：的士司机抱怨我们的行李，看起来脾气非常坏。答案C与之意思接近。

8.单选题

48.Whenaliquidorgasisheatedfrombelow,thefluidtends（

）intocylindricalrolls.

问题1选项

A.itsorganization

B.toorganizeitself

C.andisorganized

D.organizing

【答案】B

【解析】固定搭配题。固定搭配tendtodosth.表示“倾向于做…”，B选项正确。

9.单选题

UndertherulesoftheInternationalOlympicCommittee,JimThorpeforfeitedhisamateurstatuswhenheplayedsemiprofessionalbaseballin1911.

问题1选项

A.testedt

B.exploitedt

C.announcedt

D.lost

【答案】D

【解析】考查动词辨析。forfeit表示“丧失权利、名誉、生命等”；A项test“测试”，B项exploit“开发，开拓”，C项announce“宣布”，D项lost“丢失，丧失”。句意：根据国际奥委会的规定，当吉姆索普在1911年参加半职业棒球比赛时，他就丧失了业余棒球运动员的身份。根据句意可知，该题选择D项正确。

10.单选题

Earlysettlersneededtrees,sotheysentbacktoEuropeforseedlings（）aroundtheirhouses.

问题1选项

A.toplant

B.andplanted

C.andplants

D.whichplanted

【答案】A

【解析】考查连词。A选项表示目的，种在他们的房子周围。题干前半部分表达这些殖民者缺少树木，按照逻辑推测是返回欧洲，拿到种子种在他们的房子周围；B选项and表示并列，没有语法错误，但将B选项代入到原文，原文表示“早期殖民者需要树木，所以他们把树苗送回欧洲，在房子周围种植”，根据前半句话可知应该是殖民者在所殖民地区需要树木，B选项不符合语境；C选项and表示并列，plant的时态需要和sent（过去式）一致，则C选项语法错误；D选项代入到句子，构成定语从句，句意为“早期殖民者需要树木，所以他们返回欧洲去取那些种在他们房子周围的树苗”，仍然是不符合语境。本题句意：早期殖民者需要树木，所以他们返回欧洲去取树苗，回来种在他们房子周围。因此A选项正确。

【答案】我们在这个世界上的处境很奇怪。每个人短暂来访，不知原因。不过有时候似乎也会察觉到某种目的。

然而，从日常生活的角度来看，有一样是确定的：人总是为了他人而活着。为了那些重要的人，他们的笑容和幸福是我们快乐的来源。也是为了数不清的陌生人，怜悯之心将我们与他们连系在一起。每天我都会多次意识到，我自己的物质生活和精神生活，在多大程度上是建立在同胞的劳动之上的，他们或活着，或者已经逝去。意识到我必须多么努力地去付出，以回报我所得到的一切。总感觉我从他人的劳动成果中获取太多，为此我经常惴惴不安。

总体上，在我看来，没完没了地思考自己存在的理由和生命的意义是非常愚蠢的行为。然而，每个人都有自己的理想来指引自己的抱负和是非判断。始终在我面前闪耀着，让我深感活着的喜悦的理想是善、美和真理。以舒适和幸福为目的的理想从来不能吸引我。建立在这个基础之上的伦理体系只能适用于一群牲畜。
