B、Shehasn'tdecidedwheretogonextmonth.

C、Shecan'taffordthetimefbrthetrip.

D、Shewillmanagetoleavethismonth.

行，故B错误。

还要理解其言外之意，即：除了酸痛的脚以外，什么也没得（买）到，故选A。其实

本题but前面的信息也很重要：buyaslorehome形容买的东西多。听懂任何一半都

B、Shesingsbetterthanherdaughter.

C、Shedocsn7tlikeherdaughtersinging.

项均为动词短语，结合主题分析，本题很可能考查人们做想什么。短文开头说到人

们常把新年看作是新的开始，开始设计理想的自我，或是一个与现在不同的形象。

由此可以断定人们把新年看作是一个改善自我的机会，故A正确。

31、

B、Bytakingintoaccounttheirownabilitytochange.

C、Byconstantlykeepinginmindtheirultimategoals.

D、Bymakingdetailedplansandcarryingthemout.

标准答案：D

resolutionsaresupportedwith...thatwillcarryustoourgoal,即“我们的决心应得到规

划，付诸实施，我们必须制定详细的步骤来实现目标”，故答案为D。A项为强卜

扰项，但此项没有阐明support的涵义。implementation表示“实施”。

例子的目的，故选择D,

七、听力短文（含4小题）（本题共4题，每题7.0

分,共4分。）

33、

A、AstudyoftheChicago-basedMarketResearchCorporation.

B、Oneoftheessentialsforlife.

C、Latestfiguresofpeoplewhodon'teatbreakfast.

D、Breakfastandhumanhealth.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：Whatisthepassagemainlyconcernedwith?四个选项均是对全文的总

结性话语，因此我们可以判定本题是提问关于主旨方面的问题。全文阐述的是早

餐对于人们健康的影响，和不吃早餐的危害，以及引用了科学家的研究结果来加以

论证，Breakfastplaysanimportantpartinourdailylife（早餐在我们一天的生活中起

了很大的作用），因此本题选D）。这篇文章大致论述了早餐和人类健康的关系。

34、

A、Anyonewithoutbreakfastdoesin,provehisperformance.

B、NotgivingpeoplebreakfastimprovesIfisperformance.

C、Peoplehavingbreakfastdoimprovetheirperformance.

D^Havingbreakfastdoesnotimproveperformance,either.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：Whatcanwelearnaboutbreakfastfromthepassage?四个选项中都出现

了breakfast这个单词，可见还是对早餐这个话题的论述。A）中，仟何人不吃早餐

还能够促进他的工作，明显错误。B）、D）的表达同A）一样太过于绝对化，因此答

案选。。

35、

A、Noteatingbreakfastmightaffectthehealthotchildren.

B、Breakfastdoesnotaffectperformance.

C、ProfessorBendoroncetaughtcollegecoursesinnutritioninLondon.

D、Thenumberofpeoplewhodon'tcatbreakfasthasincreased.

知识点解析：Whatcanbeinferredfromthepassage?四个选项均为独立的句子，因

此我们可以判定本题目是对文章的理解或说明，属于推断题。在文章的最后提到

的研究结果表明不吃早餐其实也没有什么影响，但这只是对于成年人来说（involves

children,notadults）,而最近的一些在孩子中间做的调查表明了早餐与身体健康和

状态好的相关性。囚此本题选A）。

36、

A^Severalstudieshavebeendoneinthepastfewyears.

B、Noteatingbreakfastdocsnoharmtotheadults'health.

C、Adultshaveespeciallymadestudiesinthisfield.

D^Eatinglittleinthemorningmaybegoodforhealth.

是对某一问题或现象的说明或阐述,因此应关注问题再做出判断“文章中的科学

研究结果表明，对于成年人来说，不吃早餐也没有多大的坏处（theremaybeno如ng

wrongwithomittingbreakfast）,因此判定本题选B）c

48、[Cl]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：此处应填一形容词作表语。根据下句中的例子可知，万圣节的小把戏

是具有一定破坏性的，因此Ddestructive为答案。

49、[C2]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：此空应填一原形动词，且该动词应能与from搭配。由leaveilon【he

owner'sroof可知，男孩子们把门从支撑的校链上移走放到房主的屋顶上，因此应

选|M|remove。[N]exclude是“把…关在外面(防止进入)”之意，用在此处语义不

符。

50、[C3]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本句是讲万圣节小把戏的受害者的范围。选项中的形容词都不适合修

Wneighborsorrelatives,所以考虑填入一个副词。usually意为“通常,大抵“，填入

句中可与前文的例子相呼应，因此[C|usually为答案。|L]casually意为“偶然地，随

便地”，用在此处语义不符。

51、[C4]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：此处应填一名词。上句中的knockbackwhattheadultshaddoneto

themwhichtheythoughtwrong是孩子们玩万圣节小把戏的原因，looktheir"(50)"

onadults应与“回击大人们对他们做过的那些他们认为不对的事”意义照应，因此

[J]revenge“报复”为答案。

52、[C5]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：此处应填一形容词修饰candycollectors。上句中提到了万圣节的传

统，由此不难想到万圣节里要糖果的小孩们除了“trickortreat”的把戏外，最大的特

点就是身着怪异服装。因此[K]costumed为答案。[F]vicious“邪恶的''和

[E]imaginative”富于想象力的”都不能用在此处修饰小孩子(candycollectors)o

53、[C6]

标准答案：O

知识点解析：此处应填一动词的过去分词，与has构成现在完成时。综合前文对万

圣节传统的评价Suchtricksrequiredskillandplanning和后文对当前情况的评价

suchastire-cuttingandwindowbreaking.Thesekindsofactionsrequirenoskillor

intelligence进行对比可知，而今孩子们在万圣节所做的事情实际是退步了，且具有

了更强的破坏性。因此应选|O|degenerated。

54、[C7]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：空前的il表明此处应填一动词的单三形式。根据空后的evil-doing

andfood可知，所填词应含有将两者结合起来的意思。[B]combines意为“结合”，恰

好符合这一要求，且其单三形式也正确。［A|assembles意为“组装（机器）”或“召集

（人或组织）“，用在此处与语义不符。

55、[C8]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：此处应填一形容词修饰ihings。所填词应与主语criminal和其后的行

为putpinsintocandybarsandrazorsintoapplepies相符，应具有否定含义。

[F]vicious“邪恶的”与此相符o

56、[C9]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：此处应填一动词原形。空前criminals做的事很可能引起人们的反

感，下旬中的fear和nervousness也都是对万圣节的消极情绪，所填动词应与此相

对应。[I]resent意为“怨恨，憎恨”，符合语义。

57、[C10]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：此处应填一名词。本句中but表明，所填名词应和饱食(eatingto。

much)、贪婪(greed)一样具有否定意义。[H]lrick为中性词，与此分析不符，应排

除。结合短文内容可知，而今的万圣节把戏时常会让人感到恐惧，故应选

[G]terroro
