示“除了，除……外”，符合句意。who，that，as用在句中均引导定语从

句，表示“班上没人喜欢读”，显然与前半句“这本小说很受欢迎”矛盾，

故排除A项、B项和C项。

18.Thesailorsonashiparea_____.

【答案】C

【解析】句意：在马路中间抛锚的汽车是一大障碍。近义词辨析。

hindrance表示“妨碍；妨害；阻碍物”，强调会妨碍影响其他事情，此题

汽车若在马路中间，必然会对交通造成影响，所以符合题意。obstacle

表示“障碍，干扰；妨害物”，强调难以跨越。obstruction表示“障碍；障

碍物”，仅强调堵塞这一现象。difficulty困难。

25.Thepassageismostlikelyapartof_____.

A.anewsarticle

B.ajournalisticinterview

C.aresearchreport

D.apreface

【答案与解析】

21.B第一段倒数第二句“Asweknow,injournalismasinotherfields,

muchcanbelearnedfromthesystematicstudyofprofessionalpractice”也就

是说新闻学像其他领域一样，对它的系统研究能使我们学到很多东西。

本段第二句也说到现在很多新闻学文献或书籍强调的是怎么做新闻采

访，而不是帮我们了解采访的概念、情境和意义。第三句说到这些指导

怎么做新闻采访的书籍也都是基于个人经验和印象。所以可以看出，作

者认为应该重视对新闻采访这一领域的系统研究。故答案为B。

22.C由第二段第四句“Unhappily,thisplentifulgeneralliterature

aboutinterviewingpayslittleattentiontothejournalisticinterview.”可知，

有很多关于采访的一般性文献，但是很遗憾的是，这些文献几乎都没有

讲到新闻采访，说明新闻采访这个领域被忽视了。故答案为C。

23.D文章第二段倒数第三句说，“然而，我们之中很少有人真正地

受到过媒体的采访，尤其是电视采访。”由此可见，西方人虽然对新闻

采访很熟悉，但是大多数人都未被采访过。故答案为D。

24.A第二段第六句“Mostofusareprobablysomewhatfamiliarwith

theclinicalinterview,suchasthatconductedbyphysiciansand

psychologists.”也就是说clinicalinterview是由医生physician和心理医生

psychologist实施的，所以指的是诊断面谈，即面诊。所以被面谈者当然

是病人。故答案为A。

25.D文末“...trueunderstandingofthejournalisticinterview,

especiallytelevisioninterviews,requiresthoughtfulanalysesandevenstudy,

asthisbookindicates...”意思是说要想真正认识新闻采访，需要分析和研

究，正如这本书里所讲。可以推断本文是某书籍的序言。故答案为D。

(Para.5)refersto_____.

A.practicalityandrationality

B.engineeringandtheliberalarts

C.realityandnobleideals

D.flexibilityandavaluesystem

【答案与解析】

26.C第三段最后一句“Iwasgoingtobeacompleteengineer:

technicalgeniusandsensitivehumanistallinone.”说明作者既想成为一个

技术人才又想成为人文主义者，合二为一。故答案为C。

27.A文章第二段“Iwantedtoopenmyeyesandexpandmyvisionby

interactingwithpeoplewhoweren’tstudyingscienceorengineering.”中

expandmyvision与选项A的broadentheirhorizons属于同义替代。故答案

为A。

28.B第三段最后一句“Iwasgoingtobeacompleteengineer:

technicalgeniusandsensitivehumanistallinone.”第一段中也说到作者想

和文科学生交流，开阔眼界。故答案为B。

29.D第二段第二句“...thiswasnotapracticalchoice...”，可以看出作

者知道去文科院校学工程专业的选择不实际unrealistic。故答案为D。

30.Bthey是代词，一定是指代前面句子中提到的对象，定位到最

后一段第一句“...engineeringandtheliberalartssimplydon’tmixaseasily

asIassumedinhighschool.”说明工程学和人文学科是不相融的。本句中

togethertheythreaten融合到一起就会形成威胁，与前文意思相对应。故

答案为B。
