）notabletopickupherfour-year-oldsonfromkindergarten.

问题1选项

A.tobeconsidered

B.considering

C.beingconsidered

D.havingconsidered

【答案】B

【解析】【试题解析】考查语法结构。从非谓语动词做伴随状语的用法上分析，空格部分要填的动词和主语she存在逻辑上主谓关系，排除A和C选项。选项D是现在分词的完成式，表示动作发生在主语动作之前，不符合语境。故选B为最佳答案。句意为：考虑到没办法接送四岁的儿子上幼儿园，她放弃了报酬丰厚的工作。

4.翻译题

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:C

第3题:C

第4题:D

第5题:B

【解析】1.细节推理题。题干：根据这篇文章，一个意大利人会在会议上开着手机，原因是什么？由题干定位到文章第一段最后一句“Ifyoudon’tleaveyourphoneoninameetinginItaly,youarelikelytomissthenextone”，说明他这么做是为了不错过商机。因此A选项符合题意。

2.细节推理题。题干：下列哪一项陈述最能得到文章的支持？第一段第三句提到文化影响生活方式，生活方式影响我们交流的方式，进而影响到技术发展，可对应C选项。因此C选项符合题意。

3.细节推理题。题干：作者认为日本在手机文化方面领先世界是因为_______。由题干定位到第三段第三句“ButinthenextdecadeJapanwaswidelyseenasthemodelforthemobilefuture,givenitsearlyembraceofthemobileInternet”，后半句即为答案，与C选项对应，因此C选项符合题意。

4.细节推理题。题干：从文章中可以推断，日本青少年喜欢移动数据服务是因为______。由题干定位到第四段，“Harriedteenagers,inparticular,havefewchancesforprivateconversations…ifnotoutlawed.Hencetheappealofmobiledataservices”，说明他们视为了方便与朋友们联系。因此D选项符合题意。

5.主旨题。题干：根据这篇文章的内容，下面哪个标题是最合适的？本文主要通过一些实例讲述了文化和技术的关系。第一段第三句即本文主题句。因此B选项符合题意。

6.单选题

Theemphasisonexaminationsisbyfarthe（）worstformofcompetitioninschools.

问题1选项

A.negligent

B.edible

C.fabulous

D.disproportionate

【答案】D

【解析】考查形容词词义辨析。negligent“疏忽的；大意的”；edible“可食用的”；fabulous“难以置信的；极好的”；disproportionate“不成比例的”，根据句子意思可知此处应该填一个形容词，并且是表示贬义的形容词来形容“强调考试”这种糟糕的竞赛方式，分析四个选项，只有disproportionate最恰当。句意：对考试的强调是目前学校里面最不合理……竞赛方式。故正确答案为选项D。

7.单选题

Ajointcommunique,signedonAugust17,1982,arrestedtheprecipitousdeteriorationoftherelationsbetweenWashingtonandBeijingbutasalwaysseemedtopromisemorethanwouldbedelivered.

问题1选项

A.propitious

B.precipitant

C.propensitious

D.frivolous

【答案】B

【解析】考查近义形容词辨析。A选项propitious“适合的；吉利的；顺利的”；B选项precipitant“急促的；匆忙的；突如其来的；轻率的”；C选项propensitious不存在；D选项frivolous“无聊的；轻佻的；琐碎的”。句意：1982年8月17日签署的一份联合公报制止了华盛顿和北京之间关系的急剧恶化，但一如既往地似乎承诺了更多的东西。precipitous“险峻的；急躁的，鲁莽的”，B选项与该词词意最相近，因此B选项正确。

8.单选题

Dave’s______imaginationenableshimtotellthemostamazingandentertainingstories.

问题1选项

A.tentative

B.whimsical

C.whining

D.querulous

【答案】B

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A项tentative“试验性的，暂定的”，B项whimsical“古怪的，异想天开的”，C项whining是动词whine的现在分词，表示“抱怨，发牢骚”，D项querulous“易怒的，暴躁的”。由后面的enableshimtotellthemostamazingandentertainingstories（能让他讲出最令人惊奇和有趣的故事）可知，______imagination表示“异想天开的想象力”。句意：戴夫异想天开的想象力使他能讲出最令人惊奇和有趣的故事。因此，该题选择B项。

9.单选题

Isuggestweputtheschemeintoeffect,foritisquite______.

问题1选项

A.eligible

B.sustainable

C.probable

D.feasible

【答案】D

【解析】【选项释义】

A.eligible合格的，符合条件的B.sustainable（对自然资源和能源的利用）不破坏生态平衡的，合理利用的

C.probable很可能发生（或存在等）的D.feasible可行的

【答案】D

【考查点】形容词辨析。

【解题思路】根据主句的意思“我建议我们实施这个计划”，可知，这个计划是可行的。因此，该题选择D项。

【干扰项排除】

A项指某人具备某种条件或资格去做某事；

B、C项不符合句意。

【句意】我建议我们实施这个计划，因为它很可行。

10.单选题

Icouldn’tfind（）,andsoItookthisone.

问题1选项

A.alargeenoughcoat

B.anenoughlargecoat

C.alargecoatenough

D.acoatenoughlarge

【答案】A

【解析】考查副词用法。句意：enough修饰名词时放名词前，如：Idon’thaveenoughmoney.修饰形容词或副词时放形容词或副词后，如：Youarenotcapableenoughtogetthisposition.所以本题的正确答案是A选项。句意：我找不到足够大的大衣，所以我拿了这一件。综上所述，本题的正确答案是A选项。

11.单选题

Thecustomsinspectorwas______forsmugglers.

问题1选项

A.ontheguard

B.onthewatch

C.onwatch

D.onalert

【答案】B

【解析】考查词组辨析。A选项搭配不正确，应为onguard“站岗，警惕，提防”；B选项onthewatch“留神，守候，注意”；C选项onwatch“值班，放哨，监视”；D选项onalert“提防着，警惕着”。根据Thecustomsinspector（海关稽查员）与smugglers（走私者）可知B选项符合逻辑搭配。句意：海关稽查员在密切关注着走私者。

12.单选题

Whethertheextensionofconsciousnessisa“goodthing”forhumanbeingisaquestionthat（）awidesolution.

问题1选项

A.admitsof

B.requiresof

C.needsof

D.seeksfor

【答案】A

【解析】考查动词词组辨析。admitof“容许，有……的可能”；requireof“需要，要求得到”；needof“需要”；seekfor“寻找；探索”。句意：意识的扩展对人类来说是否是一件“好事”，这一个问题……一个广泛的答案。“需要或寻求广泛的答案”都不符合语义；所以选择admitof，表示“是一个可能有广泛答案的问题”。因此A选项符合题意。

13.单选题

Perhapsmostimportant,thereportcould_______morelight,thoughitdoesgivesome,onhowchildwelfareischangingovertime.

问题1选项

A.glance

B.reckon

C.cast

D.resort

【答案】C

【解析】glance扫视,匆匆一看;reckon估计,猜想;cast投,拋,计算;resort求助。castlighton使明白,使真相大白。句意：也许最重要的是,虽然报告中涉及了一些,但报告应该让我们明白,随着时间的推移儿童福利正在发生怎样的变化。选项C符合句意。

14.单选题

Thenovelcontainssomemarvelousrevealing（）ofrurallifeinthe19thcentury.

问题1选项

A.glances

B.glimpses

C.glares

D.gleamed

【答案】B

【解析】考查名词辨析。A选项glance“瞥闪，扫视，匆匆一看”；B选项glimpse“瞥见”；C选项glare“怒目而视，瞪眼看；发出刺眼的光”；D选项gleamed“闪烁；隐约地闪现”。句意：这本小说包括对19世纪乡村生活的一瞥，绝妙而富于启发。glimpse“瞥见”，是glance的结果。“takeaglanceat...”（看一看）的结果便是“getaglimpseof...”（瞥见了），此句中，小说提到的是19世纪的乡村生活，是结果不是看一看的动作。因此B选项正确。

【答案】对于你们这些喜欢追踪水在哪里的太空迷来说，看起来你们可以把我们自己的月球加入你们的名单。因为根据发表在《科学》杂志上的三篇论文，月球表面比我们想象的要潮湿。

40年前，阿波罗宇航员带回了一堆月球岩石。在大多数情况下，这些样本没有任何水的痕迹。那些看起来哪怕是最轻微的潮湿都被认为是受到了来自地球的水的污染——因为它们储存的容器原来是漏水的。

但现在科学家称他们已经在月球表面发现了水。科学家们在三艘不同的宇宙飞船上使用仪器，探测到了古老的H2o的化学特征。他们认为水来自月球本身。月球的土壤中有近50%是氧气，科学家们认为氢气来自撞击月球表面的太阳风。

把这两者放在一起，你就湿了。当然不会太湿。每吨月球土壤中大概只有一夸脱水。那里比撒哈拉沙漠干燥，但比我们想象的要潮湿。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:C

第3题:A

第4题:A

【解析】1.判断推理题。第二段说到MT系统的问题出现在“However,MTsystemproduceoutputwhichmustinvariablyberevisedor“post-edited”byhumantranslatorsifitistoreachthequalityrequired.Sometimessuchrevisionmaybesubstantial,sothatineffecttheMTsystemisproducinga“draft”translation.然而，如果要达到要求的质量，MTsystem所产生翻译必须由人工译者进行修改或“后期编辑”。有时这样的修改可能是实质性的，因此MT系统实际上是在生成一个“草稿”翻译。”说明MT系统翻译出来的成品需要人工修改，D选项“需要对MT产生的文本进行大量修订”符合题意。

2.事实细节题。由题干关键词fewerrors定位到文章第二段倒数第二句“Asanalternative,theinputtextmayberegularized(or‘controlled’invocabularyandsentencestructure)sothattheMTsystemproducesfewerrorswhichhavetobecorrected.作为一种替代方法，输入文本可以被正规化(或在词汇和句子结构上“受控”)，这样机器翻译系统产生的需要纠正的错误就很少。”因此条件就是“控制”输入文本的语言。C选项“原文的语言被控制”符合题意。

3.判断推理题。由题干关键词assimilation定位到文章第三段第二句“Thisdemand—theuseofMTforassimilation—hasbeenmetinthepastas,ineffect,aby-productofsystemsdesignedoriginallyforthedisseminationapplication.这一需求——使用MT进行同化——在过去已经得到满足，实际上，它是最初为传播应用而设计的系统的副产品。”最后一句补充说到“WiththecomingofcheaperPC-basedsystemsonthemarket,thistypeofusehasgrownrapidlyandsubstantially.随着市场上更便宜的基于pc的系统的出现，这种类型的使用（使用MT进行同化）已经迅速而显著地增长。”由此可知A选项“数量正迅速增长”正确。

4.判断推理题。题干中的theprogressivesophisticationofMTsystems“MT系统的逐步成熟”，说明问的是MT系统的发展势头，第四段最后一句说到“Theproblemsofintegratingspeechrecognitionandautomatictranslationareobviouslyhardtotackle,butprogressisneverthelessbeingmade.Inthefuture—stilldistant,perhaps—wemayexpecton-lineMTsystemsforthetranslationofspeechinhighlyrestricteddomains.语音识别与自动翻译的融合问题显然难以解决，但仍在不断取得进展。在未来——也许还是遥远的未来——我们可以期待在高度受限的领域中实现语音翻译的在线机器翻译系统。”由此可知未来的进展可能出现在“在线机器语音翻译”这方面，对比选项可得A选项“一个人可以通过电话与另一个说不同语言的人交流”符合文意。

17.单选题

TomandRachelLeihbachei’sfriendshavealwaysbeeninstrumentalintheirlives.

问题1选项

A.approachable

B.thoughtful

C.functional

D.helpful

【答案】D

【解析】考查形容词辨析。instrumental表示“乐器的，有帮助的，仪器的”；A项approachable“亲切友善的，易理解的，可接近的”，B项thoughtful“深思的，体贴的，关切的”，C项functional“功能的”，D项helpful“有帮助的，有益的”。句意：汤姆和雷切尔雷巴赫的朋友在他们的生活中一直很有帮助。根据句意可知，instrumental在句中表示“有帮助的”，D项的意思符合句子。因此，该题选择D项正确。

18.单选题

Thereexistsomeproposals,likecreatingaseriesoflasersthatwouldsweepthetrashbackintoouratmosphere,whereitwouldmostlybumup.

问题1选项

A.particles

B.garbage

C.dust

D.ashes

【答案】B

【解析】【选项释义】

A.particles颗粒，微粒B.garbage垃圾；废物

C.dust沙土，尘土；灰尘D.ashes灰烬

【答案】B

【考查点】名词辨析。

【解题思路】trash的意思为“废物，垃圾”，这里指把垃圾扫到大气层，garbage与之词义相近，因此B选项正确。

【干扰项排除】A、C、D选项词义与之不符。

【句意】有人提出了一些建议，比如制造一系列激光，把垃圾扫回来，扫到我们的大气层，大部分垃圾在大气层都会燃烧。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:A

第3题:A

第4题:C

第5题:D

【解析】1.文章第二段LatinsandMiddleEasternersliketocomecloserandtouch,whichmakesAmericansuncomfortable提到拉丁裔人和中东人喜欢靠得更近并且彼此接触，这让美国人感到不舒服，因此可以推测，当美国人遇上中东人这种靠近的行为会后退。选项D符合题意。

2.standstill“站着不动，静止不动”；stepforward“走出，向前进”；jumpaside“闪开”；drawback“后退”。文章中的例子主要是用来批判美国人对自己文化的过分自信，而对他国文化的忽视（linguisticandculturalblindnessandthecasualness）。选项A中的“文化自我中心”符合题意。

3.文章第六段Formanyyears,AmericaandAmericanscouldgetbywithculturalblindnessandlinguisticignorance.Afterall,Americawasthemostpowerfulcountryofthefreeworld,thedistributorofneededfundsandgoods.提到美国和美国人的文化愚昧和语言无知能够维系是因为美国是世界上最强的国家，是资金和物资的提供者。由此可知，美国人之所以这样文化自信，忽略他国文化，是因为本国的经济实力足够强大。选项A符合题意。

4.文章第三段Ourlinguisticandculturalblindnessandthecasualnesswithwhichwetakenoticeofthedevelopedtastes,gestures,customsandlanguagesofothercountries,arelosingusfriends,businessandrespectintheworld提到由于语言和文化的无知和看到他国的品味、姿势、习俗和语言等的态度，使得美国正在世界中失去朋友、生意和尊重。选项C符合题意。

5.文章提到了美国对他国文化的盲目和无知导致他们会在生活上失去伙伴，会影响美国在世界事务中的地位，因此，熟悉他国的文化非常有必要。选项D符合题意。
