orfourhabitablehouses.

1.Whatisthesubjectofthispassage?

A.Thereasonsforbrick-makinginJamestown.

B.ThecauseofthefailureofJamestown.

C.ThelawsoftheVirginiacolonists.

D.TheproblemsoftheearlyAmericancolonies.

答案:A［解析］通读全文可知，作者主要从实用方面的原因(practical

reasons)和思想观念方面的原因(ideologicalreason)阐述了为什么

在Jamestown制砖并用砖来建筑房屋。因此A为正确答案。

2.WhichofthefollowingwasNOTareasonforusingbricks

inconstruction?

A.Woodhadtobebroughtfromsomedistance.

B.Therewasconsiderableclayavailable.

C.Thelumberingprocessdependedongoodroads.

D.Thetimberwasnotofgoodquality.

［大学英语考试复习资料］专升本英语分类模拟55

答案:D［解析］通读短文可知，D项叙述并没有在原文中出现。原文

只说"伐木极为困难"(theprocessoflumberingwasextremely

difficult)并没说"木材质量差"。故D正确。

3.ItcanbeinferredfromthepassagethatJamestownwas

establishedon.

A.arockypeninsulawithasmallforestarea

B.abarrenpeninsulanearothertowns

C.anuninhabitablepeninsulawithfewnaturalresources

D.awoodedpeninsulawithclaysoil

答案:D［解析］从文章第一段最后一句："However,asclaywas

plentifulitwasinevitablethatthecolonistswouldturnto

brick-making?可知，Jamestown多树而且泥土丰富，故选D。A

不对，因为在Jamestown用砖建造房屋前，是用木料作为建筑材料

的，可见森林面积不小，如果多岩石就不会出现石料短缺；B、C项

不正确是因为Jamestown所在半岛上有森林因此不会是光秃秃的,

也不可能没有自然资源；而且也不是个不能居住的地方。

4.ItcanbeinferredthattheVirginiaAssembly,bypassinga

lawregardingbuildingconstruction,hopedto.

A.increasethemanufactureofbricks

B.preventthedestructionoftreesintheareaofJamestown

C.establishacitythatwouldbeanexampleforthefuture

D.discouragepeoplefromsettlinginJamestown

［大学英语考试复习资料］专升本英语分类模拟55

答案:C［解析］文章第二段中第五句："Hadthislawevenbeen

successfullyenforced,Jamestownwouldhavebeenamodel

city:为虚拟语气，意思为：这项法律没有得到贯彻，所以

Jamestown也就没有成为城市的典范。据此，可推断弗吉尼亚州议

会通过这项法律的初衷是希望能把Jamestown建成一座未来城市的

典范。故选C。

5.Accordingtothepassage,whateventuallyhappenedto

Jamestown?

A.Itwaspracticallydestroyed.

B.Itbecameamodelcity.

C.Itremainedtheseatofgovernment.

D.Itwasalmostcompleted.

答案:A［解析］根据文章最后一句："By1699,Jamestownhad

collapsedintoapileofrubblewithonlythreeorfourhabitual

houses:可以推断，A为正确答案。

C.Afeeshouldbechargedonusedcontainersforrecycling.

0.Consumershadtopayforbeveragecontainersandcould

gettheirmoneybackonreturningthem.

答案:D［解析］文章第一句提到："In1993,NewYorkState

orderedstorestochargeadepositonbeveragecontainers/

可知纽约州政府要求商店就饮料容器收取押金。因此D为正确答案。

7.ThereturnedplasticbottlesinNewYorkusedto.

A.endupsomewhereunderground

B.beturnedintorawmaterials

C.haveasecondlifevalue

D.beseparatedfromotherrubbish

答案:A［解析］从第一段第三句："...butbecausefewcouldfigure

outwhattodowiththeplastic,muchofitwouldbeburiedin

landfills;可知，回收的塑料瓶无法处理，因此大多数被埋在垃圾场。

故选A。

［大学英语考试复习资料］专升本英语分类模拟55

8.Thekeyproblemindealingwithreturnedplasticbeverage

A.tosellthemataprofitableprice

B.howtoturnthemintousefulthings

C.howtoreducetheirrecyclingcosts

D.tolowerthepricesforusedmaterials

答案:B［解析］根据第一段最后一句："Unfortunately,therewere

toofewusesforsecondhandplastic/可知，回收的二手塑料用

途不大，因此如何使它们变成有用的东西是处理回收塑料包装的关键

问题。故正确答案为

A.localgovernmentsfinditeasytomanage

B.recyclinghasgreatappealforthejobless

C.recyclingcauseslittlepollution

D.othermethodsaremoreexpensive

答案:D［解析］从文章最后一段第二句："...recyclingisalreadythe

垃圾最为廉价的选择，其他方法花费都要高得多。因此D为正确答

案。

答案:C［解析］从文章最后一句："Recyclingalsostimulatesthe

济又环保。因此正确答案为C。

11.Thepassageismainlyabout.

A.anewmedicalinvention

B.anewresearchonmemories

C.awayoferasingpainfulmemories

D.anargumentabouttheresearchonthepill

答案:D［解析］做主旨题时一定要把整篇文章的内容结合在一起理解。

这篇文章笔墨用得比较多的是在最后五段话里，主要是讲前面所有研

究引发的争论的内容。所以本题不是简简单单地讲一个医疗的发明，

也不是讲关于记忆的研究，更不是在讲一种消除痛苦记忆的方式，而

是在讲关于药物研究而引发的争论。

12.Thedrugtestedonpeoplecan.

A.causethebraintofixmemories

B.stoppeoplerememberingtheirexperiences

C.preventbodyproducingcertainchemicals

D.wipeouttheemotionaleffectsofmemories

答案:C［解析］根据题干关键词testedonpeople定位到文章第三段。

A项与文章意思相反。B项阻止人们回忆起他的经历，与文意相反(not

项错在(消灭，彻底

thatthememoriesareerased)0Dwipeout

摧毁或被彻底毁坏)，根据文章的第三段内容可以知道，这种the

emotionaleffectsofmemories只是maybereduced,而不是彻

底消除，显然夸大了原文的意思。

13.Wecaninferfromthepassagethat.

［大学英语考试复习资料］专升本英语分类模拟55

A.peopledoubttheeffectsofthepills

B.thepillwillstoppeople'sbadexperiences

C.takingthepillwilldoharmtopeople'shealth

D.thepillhasprobablybeenproducedinAmerica

答案:D［解析］A项与文意相反，并不是所有人都对这项研究持怀疑态

度。B项这个药物会阻止人们的不好的经历，夸大了文意。C项未提

及。因此根据文章第二段第一句话可以知道D项为正确答案。

14.WhichofthefollowingdoesRebeccaDresseragreewith?

A.Somememoriescanruinpeople'slives.

B.Peoplewanttogetridofbadmemories.

C.Experiencingbadeventsmakesusdifferentfromothers.

D.Thepillwillreducepeople'ssufferingsfrombadmemories.

答案:C［解析］根据题干关键词:RebeccaDresser定位到文章最后一

段。根据最后一段第一句话"...butmakeuswhoweare；和前一

段的总体介绍”...memoriesgiveusouridentity?可以断定C为

正确选项。

15.Theword"scars"inParagraphOneiscloseinmeaningto

A.goodstories

B.pains

C.experiences

0.memories

［大学英语考试复习资料］专升本英语分类模拟55

答案:B［解析］首先定位到第一段，"暴力和交通事故会给人们留下可

怕的身体和心理上的……"。再把四个选项代入，A项好故事，B项

痛苦，C项经验，D项记忆，比较一下即可看出B项痛苦最合文意。

anotherabduction

B.theAmericanjournalist'stranslatordiedassoonashewas

C.thepolicewastoldtheabductionbyapasser-by

D.theabductionhappenedinsidethecityofBaghdad

答案:D［解析］从文章第一段这则新闻的发生地"Baghdad,Iraq"

以及第二段的"...intheAdelsectionofthecity"以及第四段的

“Thekidnappingtookplaceabout100yardsfrom

al-Dulaimi'soffice:可以得知D是对的。从文章第二段的"the

journalistwereheadingtomeetAdnanal-Dulaimi/可以看出A

是错的，coveranotherabduction意思是"采访另一起绑架事件"。

从文章的第二段的"...thetranslatortoldthepolicebeforehe

died..?可以看出翻译不是受到袭击后立即就死了，也不是过路人向

警察报告的此事情，所以B、C都是错的。

［大学英语考试复习资料］专升本英语分类模拟55

17.WhydidtheinsurgentskidnaptheAmericanjournalist?

A.Onlytorobherofhermoney.

B.Torapeher.

C.Onlytotakeherhostage.

D.TomakeAmericantroopsoutofIraq.

答案:D［解析］根据文章第四段的"...aimingtoforceU.S.troops

toleaveIraqorpreventArabnationsfromstrengtheningtheir

tieswiththeBaghdadgovernment”,可以看出绑架的目的就是

要迫使美国军队撤出伊拉克。

18.Theunderlinedword"released"inparagraph5means

A.setfree

B.causedtomovefreely

C.madeknown

D.givenup

答案:A［解析］根据上下文可以看出。上文有"Someofthe

hostageswerekilled,while..."（有些人质被杀害,而……）"而"表

示转折，由此就可以推断released意思是"释放"，还有下文的

freed进一步印证了这一推断。

19.Wecaninferfromthepassagethat.

答案:c［解析］根据绑匪的目的可以推断出c是正确的。

D.Theycaredforthehostagesverywelljusttousethemto

答案:B［解析］第五段告诉我们他们要么撕票，要么释放，如果交了赎

金或者穆斯林神职人员报警就可以释放。因此答案为

21.Thepassageismainlyabout.

A.benefitsofahealthylifestyle

B.demandsofdailylife

C.factorsaffectingahealthylifestyle

D.apositiveapproachtohealthyliving

答案:C［解析］本题考查考生对文章主旨大意的把握。C项"影响健康

生活方式的因素"正确。其他三项都是以偏概全。

22.Theword"sedentary"inParagraph4probablemeans

A.havingalotofthingstodo

B.involvinglittleexerciseorphysicalactivity

C.beingisolatedfromtheoutsideworld

0.experiencingalotofstress

答案:B［解析］本题考查特定语境中的词汇含义。答案定位到第四段。

有关电脑、DVD、CD、电视、游戏机的休闲活动都是需要坐着进行

的，因此锻炼和身体活动较少。所以B项正确。

23.WhichofthefollowingisNOTmentionedinthepassage

A.Cheapprice.

B.Themedia.

C.Busylifestyle.

0.Convenience.

［大学英语考试复习资料］专升本英语分类模拟55

只有A项未提及。

24.WhichisNOTlistedasafactorinfluencingtheabilityto

haveahealthylifestyle?

A.Pollution.

B.Economicfactors.

C.Dependenceuponcars.

0.Influenceoffamilyorfriends.

答案:B［解析］本题考查细节和推断。A项和C项分别在第六段和第三

段都很直接地说到了。而D项隐含在第二、六段之中：父母都上班，

孩子就必须承担更多的家务；朋友、家人吸烟，会导致被动吸烟。而

B项是没有提到过的。

25.Accordingtotheauthor;maybethemost

importantfactorinfluencinghealthylifestyles.

A.technology

B.culturalbackground

C.environment

D.thedesiretobehealthy

答案:D［解析］定位到最后一段，可知作者的观点是只要你有足够强

烈的动机，任何人都可以过上健康的生活。

答案:C［解析］本题可参见文章第一段的最后一句话"Inshort,art

答案:A［解析］问题是"艺术是主观的，原因在于。"文章第二

段中有一句话:"Art,ontheotherhand,issubjective:itreflects

emotionsandopinions?从这句话中可以看出艺术是感情和观点

的反映。所以选A。

C.whatwecanlearnfromart

D.theinfluenceofartistsonarthistory

答案:B［解析］本题考查对文章主题思想的理解和把握。文章共分三段。

第一段是概括段落，第二段和第三段采用对比的写作方法,分别介绍

历史和艺术，突出历史与艺术的不同之处。因此，文章主要讲一般历

史和艺术历史的区别。所以选B。

C.ahistoryteachermustbequiteobjective

D.artistspaintedpeopleorstoriesfromtheBibletohidetheir

答案:C［解析］通过对艺术和历史的对比分析，可以得出结论：既然历
