1.Thispassageismostprobablytakenfrom.

A.amedicalmagazine

B.alegaldocument

C.theFederalLaws

D.apolicereport

答案:D［解析］从文章整体看，是在讲系安全带的重要性、司机的职

责和不佩戴安全带的惩罚措施。全文的语言风格比较随意，语言也比

较简单，所以不可能选自alegaldocument（法律文件）或the

FederalLaws（联邦政府的法律）;另外，文章显然与医学没有太大的

关联，不是来自于amedicalmagazine（医学杂志）。D项为正确答

案，意为"警局报导"，这是一种不太正式的类似于新闻报道的文体,

因为文章中提到了佩戴安全带的重要性，也提到了交通事故、司机的

职责和惩戒措施，所以选D。

2.Wearingaseatbeltinavehicle.

A.reducesroadaccidentsbymorethanhalf

B.savesliveswhileataspeedupto30milesperhour

C.reducesthedeathrateintrafficaccidents

D.savesmorethan15,000liveseachyear

［大学英语考试复习资料］专升本英语分类模拟67

答案:C［解析］答案在第一段的最后一句，”佩戴安全带可以拯救人们

的生命；它可以将你严重受伤或者死亡的几率减低一半以上C项

的含义是"减低交通事故中的死亡几率"，符合此句；A的含义是

"减少路面事故数量一半以上"，佩戴安全带显然不能直接起这个作

用；B的含义是"在行驶时速达到每小时30英里时可以救命"；D

项的含义是"每年拯救多于15,000人的生命"在文中找不到根据。

3.Itisthedriver'sresponsibilityto.

A.makethefrontseatpassengerwearaseatbelt

B.makethefrontseatchildrenunder14wearaseatbelt

C.stopchildrenridinginthefrontseat

D.wearaseatbelteachtimehedrives

答案:B［解析］答案在第二段最后一句。"但司机将有责任保证14岁

以下的儿童不能坐在前座，除非他们佩戴安全带，"因此选B"让前

座的14岁以下的儿童配戴安全带"。C意为"不让儿童坐在前座"，

是以偏概全的。

4.Accordingtothepassage,who,ridinginthefront,does

nothavetowearaseatbelt?

A.Someonewhoisbackingintoaparkingspace.

B.Someonewhoispickingupthechildrenfromthelocal

school.

C.Someonewhoisdeliveringinvitationletters.

D.Someonewhoisunder14.

［大学英语考试复习资料］专升本英语分类模拟67

答案:A［解析］答案在第三段的第一句，"然而，倒车的时候你无需佩

戴安全带"。与A项"倒车入停车位"相符;C项的"递送请柬"表

面上看来跟第三段第一句中的makingalocaldeliveryor

collectionusingspecialvehicle有关，但是我们从文中无法判断这

种可以造成特例的localdelivery到底是不是deliveringinvitation

这种无法从文中获取到足够肯定证据的选项是不能够选的。

letters0

这是细节题做题的基本原则，即一定要在文中找到基本对应的句子段

落。

5.Forsomepeople,itmaybebetter.

A.towearaseatbeltforhealthreasons

B.nottowearaseatbeltforhealthreasons

C.togetavalidmedicalcertificatebeforewearingaseatbelt

D.topayafineratherthanwearaseatbelt

答案:B［解析］答案在第三段的第一句话，"如果你有有效的医疗证明,

你也有理由不佩戴安全带"。B项的意思是"为了健康原因不带安全

带"，与文意相符；A项"为了健康原因佩带安全带"，C项"获取

有效医疗证明方可佩戴安全带"都与原文意思不符。

6.TheancientChinesebelievedthattheearth.

A.wasachariot

B.slopedtothenorthwest

C.wassupportedbycolumns

D.hadninelayers

答案:A［解析］第一段第一句...theearthwasachariot,...可知正确答

案选A。

7.TotheChinesepeople,thesunrepresented.

A.theprimarygod

B.evil

C.goodness,beautyandtruth

D.combat

答案:C［解析］由文中第二段TotheChinesepeople,thesunwas

theincarnationofgoodness,beauty,andtruth可知正确答案为

C。本题的关键是了解incarnation的意思，意为"化身，具体化"。

8.Thesun'sdisappearanceswerethoughttobecausedby

A.fightswithcocks

B.fightswithdragons

C.ascientificphenomenon

D.eclipse

［大学英语考试复习资料］专升本英语分类模拟67

答案:B［解析］由文章第二段倒数第二句"Hisbattleswiththe

dragons,...accountedfor..."可知正确答案为B。做题的关键在于正

确理解accountfor的意思,意为"是……的原因"。

9.AncientChineseastronomycouldbeaccuratelydescribed

A.entirelyreligiousinnature

B.basedonlegendaryfigures

C.advancedinsomeareas

答案：A［解析］文中第三段第一句Alongwiththese

unsophisticatedbeliefsaboutthesun,theChineseevolveda

scienceofastronomybaseduponobservation—though

essentiallyreligious一whichenabledthemtopredicteclipses

可知选其中两个

ofthesunandthemovementsofthestarsAo

破折号中间的essentiallyreligious（本质上有宗教性质）是解题的关

键。

10.Impliedbutnotstated:.

A.ThesunwasworshipedbyalltheChinesepeople

B.Thesunwasthoughtofasacock

［大学英语考试复习资料］专升本英语分类模拟67

文中都能找到，故选。另外，根据第三段的内容也可判断出应选

discouragedfrombecomingactorsisthat.

A.actorsareveryunusualpeople

B.thecourseatthedramaschoollaststoolong

C.actingisveryhardwork

D.therearealreadytoomanyactors

答案:D［解析］文章第一句话就谈到了这一点：Actingissuchan

over-crowdedprofession…其中的一个关键词组是over-crowded

profession（拥挤不堪的职业），即从事演员这个职业的人太多了。故

选D。

［大学英语考试复习资料］专升本英语分类模拟67

12.Anassistantstagemanager'sjobisdifficultbecausehe

A.doallkindsofstagework

smallparts.可知A正确。

13."Youngactorswiththestageintheirbloodarehappy"

means.

A.theydon'tcareiftheirjobishard

B.theylikethestagenaturally

C.theyarebornhappy

D.theyareeasilysatisfied

答案:B［解析］根据字面意思intheirblood"在他们的血液中"可知

本句指的是"天生喜欢舞台的演员"。可知B正确。

14.ConniePrattthoughtthefilmproducerwasjoking,for

A.didn'tknowwhothemanwas

B.neverwantedtobecomeanactress

［大学英语考试复习资料］专升本英语分类模拟67

C.couldn'tbelievewhatthemansaid

anordinarygirlworkinginabicyclefactory.和Hetoldthe

drivertostop,andhegotouttospeaktothegirl.Heaskedher

ifshewouldliketogotothefilmcompanytodoatest,andat

firstshethoughthewasjoking.可知ConniePratt起初只是一名

工人，一次偶然的机会被一名导演发现，并邀请她演电影。这对于

ConniePratt来说很意外，因此她认为那个男的在开玩笑，她不能

相信他的话。故C正确。

15.Thephrase"onceinabluemoon"inthelastsentence

means.

A.immediately

B.unexpectedly

C.slowly

D.rarely

答案:D［解析］本题考查习语onceinabluemoon意为"千载难逢

地"，与onceforalong同义，另外根据上下文也可推断出是"很

少见”的意思，故选D。

答案:C［解析］根据第一段中所提到的父母太急于盼望孩子们掌握新

子和给予他们自由之间保持平衡。故选C。
