35、[BI]

标准答案:retirement

知识点解析：此题主要考查听特定名词theories。从该词前面的动形容词early可以

推出此处要填一个名词。从下文中可知该名词应该是关于由于Busier的一些恶习

导致的一个不良结局。

36、[B2]

标准答案：handler

知识点解析：此题主要考查听特定名词。解题关键抓住said可推出该处要填一个

关于有关身份的名词。“handler”在这里解释为畜禽训练者：训练或展出诸如狗这样

的动物的人。

37、[B3]

标准答案：placed

知识点解析：此题主要考查听特定动词place的被动语态形式。从内容上可知比处

要填一个含有“安置”意思的动词。

38、[B4]

标准答案：motivation

知识点解析：此题主要考查听特定动词preserve的被动语态形式。从该句的句式上

看出这里需要填动词的被动式，从内容上可知讲的是面条的保存。

39、[B5]

标准答案：performed

知识点解析：本题主要考察听特定动词performed的能力。根据全文的时态，此处

应用一般过去时，但perform过去分词performed读轻音，不够明显，需要考生根

据全文进行判断。

40、[B6]

标准答案:graduallyo

知识点解析♦：此题主要考查特定副词。解题关键在于从下文中“worsen”推测出这句

是要填写一个关于Buster从好到坏渐变的副词。

41、[B7]

标准答案：worsened

知识点解析：本题主一要考查听特定动词worsen的过去式worsened。从前面的

and和delerioraied推测出是耍填一个过去时的动词。worse是很常见的，但是要能

灵活的联系到形容词后面加en变成动词，还是有一定难度的。

42、[B8]

标准答案：OnoneoccasionBusterwalkedstraightpastasuspectedcriminalhidingin

(hegardenofahouselateatnightandwenttothetoilet

知识点解析：此题主要考查听单句的能力。从后句的“couldn'tbelieve”可以推知该

句是关于Buster出乎Stephenson意料之外的行为。

43、[B9]

标准答案：Isearchedthegardenmyselfandfoundtheman.Thedoghadwalkedpast

thespotwhereIfoundhim.

知识点解析：此题主要考查听单句的能力子。解题关犍是抓住下句中的虚拟语气推

知上句所描述的相反的情况。

44、[B10]

标准答案：Duringaseparatetrackingoperation,alsointheearlyhoursofthe

morning,Bustergaveupwhileinmid-chaseacrossagolfcourse

知识点解析：此题主要考查听单句的能力。解题关键是从下文中可知，其后面的句

子是对该句的进一步描述。从下句中的“there”可推知该句中有“there”所指代的地

名。

45、[B11]

标准答案：Busterwaspleasedwhenpeoplecameuptohimandatetheirfood,instead

oftryingtostoppotentialtroublemakerso

知识点解析：此题主要考查听单句的能力。从上文中我们可以了解到Buster是只

比较爱玩，而旦不很负责任的狗。所以最后的这段话也应该是描述这只狗和喝醉的

人玩耍的场景。insteadof是“取而代之”的意思。poleniial的拼写要注意。

九、阅读（选词填空）（本题共70题，每题7.0分，共

70分。）

[L]rewarded[C]positive[H]contents[M]earn[D]success[I]statistics[N]grant[E]

absence[J]graduate[O]attendance

46、【SI】'

标准答案：I

知识点解析：从InWestVirginiaandinNewYork和InWashington,D.C.以及空

格所在句中的evenworse可以看出空格前后两句属于对比关系，而明显有对比内容

的是统计数据，因此选statistics。该词是oneoutoffour和Onehalfofall的上义

词。注意absence和dropsout属于不同的概念，因此不能选absenceo

47、[S2]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：分析句子成分可知本句缺少谓语动词。evenworse说明本句比第一句

更加严重，而dropsoutofhighschool的结果是不能毕业，因此选graduateo

48、[S3]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：分析句子结构知，所填词是用来说明数字概率的副词，A与K中选

择。此处的29%是指辍学率(dropoutrate),这一数字若用appropriately“适当地”修

饰29%,语义不通，所以选approximately”大约,近似地

49、[S4]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：从前面的用词evenworse和bored等都可以看出这种趋势必然是一种

不好的趋势，观察列表可以发现，表示negative”负面的，消极意义的”词是

disturbingo这种趋势对于educators来说就是disturbing。Bmisleading虽然也是表

示negative的词，但是从上下文中看不出dropout“辍学”是被主观引导或误导的，

因此排除。

50、[S5]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：从下一oneprincipalisusingmoney,notjobs,asanincentiveKtl

看出在费城是用工作来刺激学生的，只要学生呆在学校里，学校就把暑期工作机会

奖励给学生，因此这里的动词应填awarded。rewarded为干扰项，但要注意这两个

词的用法区分，award用法为awardsb.sth.,此句中指awardat-riskstudents

summerjobs；而reward的用法多为rewardsb.withsth.或rewardsb.fordoing

sth.o

51、[S6]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：前面的hundred-lhousand-dollar提示学校收到的是一笔拨款，因此应

选grant,该词在作名词时有“拨款，授予物”的意思。

52、[S7]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：分析本句成分可知此空应填动词。而可以与fivedollars搭配的词应选

earn0同时下一句的studentscanbringhomeatwentv-fivedollar也提示只要是学生

去上课就能从学校那里赚到钱。

53、[S8]

标准答案：0

知识点解析：后面的moneyincentive起到提示作用。学校给钱刺激学生上学，提

高的肯定是出勤率，因此这里应选attendanceo

54、[S9]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：空格所在句首的But起到提示作用，上一句提到有了钱的刺激，学生

出勤率就增高，句中的too...2...表示否定概念，因此这里应选success。

55、[S10]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：But和Still提示最后两句与前面所述形成转折，表示对用钱刺激上学

这一作法的不赞同，所以此处应填有negative色彩的词，因此只能选misleading。
