[I]directories[N]invade[E]return[J]brought[O]directions

48、[Cl]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：空格所在位置决定所填词应为动词的过去分词，从该动词的逻转宾语

Theround-thc-clockavai.ability可知，这里表示的是cellphonesandpagers给人们生

活带来的影响，因此选择。broughtobring...to..：表示“将...带给…”。

49、[C2]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：从空格后的具体人数及时间可以看出，这里表示的是该项研究的持续

调查，因此选择followed。follow表示“追踪，跟随”的意思。

50、[C3]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：空格后的lesssatisfactionwiththeirfamilylife是由那些经常使用呼

机、手机的人产生的negative"spillover"betweenworkandhomelife所导致的，因

此这里选择lum,inlurn意思是“反过来”。而inreturn则是“作为回报”，因此抹

除。

51、[C4]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：从后面所举的具体例子takingjob-relatedcallsathome可以看出，这

里是指JL作占据了家庭生活的时间，因此选择invade,意思是“侵占，占用

52、[C5]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：从or可以看出这个例子是与上个例子相反的，本句主语为household

issues,从而可以推断出这里是指家庭琐事反过来也会占用工作的时间，因此选择

work,而不是leisureo

53、［C6］

标准答案：F

知识点解析：木段最后所举的具体事件说明对于女性而言，手机和呼机不仅使她们

家庭生活受到工作的影响，同时也使家庭琐事影响她们的工作，因此空格处应选择

especially,即spilloverbetweenworkandhome在女性身上体现得更为明显。partly

则是'、部分地］与这一事实不符，因此排除。

54、［C7］

标准答案：0

知识点解析：从空格后的具体阐述可以看出，手机和呼机使得女性家庭生活和工作

互相干扰，因此列表中只有directions符合此意，bothdirections即“双方面的

directories的意思是“目录"，词义搭配不当。

55、［C8］

标准答案：B

知识点解析：后面的ralherthanpositiveones说明空格处指的应是与positive相反的

意思，因此选择stressful＜）

56、［C9］

标准答案：G

知识点解析：这句是说雇主们应该审视一下非工作时间联系员工的有关规定是否合

理，makesure表示“确信，确认

57、［C10］

标准答案：L

知识点解析：本句意思是员工也应当在属于自己的家庭时间内将手机、呼机关掉，

从而避免工作对家庭生活的影响，因此选择designated,即“规定的工作以外的”。

58、Thispassageismostprobably.

A、arevieworMilton'sParadiseLost

B、anintroductionofwhatParadiseLostisabout

C、adepictionofthecruelnessoftheBritishruler

D^partofanintroductiontoEnglishliterature

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题考查文章来源。文章对弥尔顿的《失乐园》进行了评析，指出弥

尔顿通过描述撒旦的勇敢，上帝和天使的愚蠢，揭示了当时英国统治者的独断专行

和英国宗教的教条主义，因而是一篇典型的文学评论。文章没有详细地解释诗的内

容，所以选项B不正确。选项D”英国文学的部分介绍”范围太大，不具体。

59、Accordingtothepassage,Milton.

A、describesSatanasaPuritan

B>doesn'tbelieveinGod

C^issatisfiedwiththeBritishruler

D^callsonpeopletofightagainstthedictator

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文章指出弥尔顿通过描述撒目和其追随者的义正辞严，表达了一个清

教徒对当时独裁者和英国宗教的不满。在文中，撒旦并不是一个清教徒，所以A

不正确。弥尔顿没有发动革命，所以选项D也不正确。但是，我们可以推断出弥

尔顿不信上帝这一选项。

60、Inthepoem,Satanisdescribedas.

A、anevilperson

B、contrarytowhatisdepictedintheBible

C、selfishandcrueldevil

D、astupidghost

标准答案：B

知识点解析：诗中撒旦被描述成一个勇敢的斗士，反对上帝，失败了继续战斗。而

上帝被描述成自私的、残酷的统治者。这与《圣经》中的描述相反，所以选及

61、WhichofthefollowingcanNOTbeinferredfromthispassage?

A^IfAdamandEvehadnoteatentheforbiddenfruit,humanbeingwouldbeignorant

untilnow.

B、Godactslikeadictator.

C、Satanandhisfollowersareparliamentmembersinthepoem.

D、Theangelsaredepictedasstupidinthepoem.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：文章第三段指出，亚当和夏娃体现了弥尔顿对人类伟大力量的信任。

上帝剥夺了人们对知识的渴望（暗指亚当、夏娃渴望拥有智慧，因偷吃禁果而被赶

出伊甸园），正是这种渴望才开辟出一条通向智慧和文明生活的道路。由此可以推

断，如果他们没有这么做的话，如今的人类仍然很愚昧无知，所以选项A表述正

确。上帝在诗中被描述成了残酷的统治者，他的天使们从来不想发表意见，也从来

没有自己的意见，所以很傻，符合选项B,D的表述。虽然撤旦和他的追随者们使

人们想起了议会成员的形象，但在诗中他们并不真正是议会成员，所以选项C表

述不对，是正确答案。

62、Accordingtothispassage,ParadiseLostiswrittenforthepurposeof.

A、praisingGodforthecreationoftheworld

B、criticizingthecruelnessofBritishruler

C、changingpeople'sunfavorableimpressionofSatan

D、expressinghissupportforthefightofSatan

标准答案：B

知识点解析：考写作目的。通过前面的解释，我们可推断弥尔顿写《失乐园》目的

是借撒旦的反叛形象来枇判当时英国统治者的暴行。
