11、Therewasnochangeuntiltheendoftheperiod,whencomputersalesrosesharply.

标准答案：c

知识点解析•：一直没有变化，直到期末，此时计算机售卖巨幅上升。图表C符合

此意，因此是正确答案。

12、Atfirstcomputersalesrosesharply,butthenfellgraduallyfortherestoftheperiod.

标准答案：B'

知识点解析：起先计算机销售迅速地上升，但是随后逐渐地下落。图表B符合此

意，因此是正确答案。

13、Computersalesshowedadramaticincreaseformostoftheperiodbutdropped

标准答案：E

低。图表E符合此意，因此是正确答案。

14>ComputersalesfellduringFebruarybutroseagaininMarchtoexceedtheJanuary

sales.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：2月份的计算机销售下降，但是在3月份再一次上升，超过了1月份

的销售量。图表D符合此意，因此是正确答案。

15、Computersalesrosesteadilythroughouttheperiod.

动之前工厂对派工人去参观学校并不积极，即第三段中的“Untilnow,

manufacturingfirmshavebeenslowtosendstaffintoschools^o但是至于工人们的真实

想法，文章并未提及，所以正确答案应为C。

18、PeterDavisbelievesthatsendingemployeesintoschoolswillhelpdeveloptheir

professionalabilities.

A^Right

B、Wrong

C、Doesn'tsay

标准答案：A

知识点解析：此句的意思是：彼得・戴维斯认为派工人去参观学校将有助于提高他

们的业务能力。这个说法是关于活动主办人彼得・戴维斯的观点的，所以考生只需

仔细阅读第二、三两段即可。第二段中“It'sanexcellentmeansofimproving

professionaldevelopment."直接引语表达的就是与第3题相同的意思，所以正确答

案应为A。

19、Manufacturingcompaniesalreadysentmanyemployeesintoschools.

A、Right

R、Wrong

C、Doesn'tsay

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此句的意思是：制造业企业早已派了很多工人去参观学校，而文章中

与此相关的一句是"Untilnow,manufacturingfirmshavebeenslowtosendstaffinto

schools”，即：在这之前制造业工厂对派工人去参观学校并不积极。由此可见本题

这一说法与原文意思相反，因此正确答案是B。

20、Davisthinksthatmanyteachersdonotwanttovisitfactories.

A、Right

B、Wrong

C^Doesn'tsay

标准答案：A

知识点解析：此句的意志是：戴维斯认为许多教师不想参观工厂。这一说法与文中

的“teachershaven'tbeenverykeentovisitfactories”（教师并不喜欢参观工厂）相符合，

并且后面一句"mostwouldrathervisitabankorretailcompanyinstead”更是进一步明

确了教师们不太愿意参观工厂的态度，所以正确答案为Ao

21、AndrewMorrisusedtobeanengineer.

A、Right

Wrong

CNDoesn'tsay

标准答案：C

知识点解析：此句的意思是｝安得鲁・莫里斯以前曾是位工程师。文章中对此人的介

绍仅限于"Headteacher...recentlyspentthreedaysatKTM,anengineeringfirm.”,

即；最近花了三天时间参观KTM的一位校长。至于他以前是否做过工程师，文章

并未提及，所以止确答案为C。

22、TheDirectorofKTMwasn'tsureaboutthebenefitsofthisproject.

A、Right

B、Wrong

C^Doesn'tsay

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此句的意思是：KTM的主管对这项活动所能带来的好处不太确定。

很明显，这与文章中的“KTMDirectorJohnDimmocksaidthatwithoutadoubthis

staffhadbenefitedfromcxplainingthcirjobstoteachersandpupils”是背道而驰的，尤

其是句中的'"withoutadoubt”更是与题中的"wasn'tsureabout”截然相反。所以正确

答案应为B。

29、[Cl]

A、try

B、tried

C、trying

D^havingtried

标准答案：C

知识点解析：这个句子的主语、谓语和宾语结构是：tryingtoexplain...+can

fatallydclay+thearrivalof...trjzingtoexplain...是动：名词短语在句中充当

主语。A和B都不符合语法要求，D也不是正确选项，因为句子的内容没有“已经

试图解释……”的意思。

30、[C2]

A、automatically

accidentally

C、tremendously

D、usually

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本句说的是研究人员在试验一种能自动感知车祸并向有关部门传送车

祸信息的先进装置。从意思上判断，这里只能选A,其他三个选项都不符合句意。

31、[C3]

A、changed

B、located

C、developed

D、copied

标准答案：C

知识点露析：从上下文判断，这套system指的是第二段的正在试验的车祸感知通

报装置，所以选developed是正确的。其他三个选项都不符合句意。

32、[C4]

A^by

B、up

C、about

D^to

标准答案：D

知识点解析：attached在这里是动词的过去分词作后置,定语，修饰acellphone—

上

33、[C5]

A、forms

B、isconsistedof

C、composesof

D、includes

标准答案：D

知识点解析:选项A的forms意思不对。选项B的isconsistedof用法错误，consist

of只用主动语态。选项C的composesof也是用法不对，composeof要用be

composedof形式。D是正确答案。

34、[C6]

A^read

B、reading

C、reads

D、beingread

标准答案：B

知识点解析：这个句子说，装置通过读取来自气囊感应器的减速数据来记录翻车事

toobtaininfor—mation读取资料。

B、in

C、of

D、at

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题必须变用介词in...itdeterminesinwhichlanguagetocompose

in的这种用法：ThealertmessageiscomposedinChinese.用中文来编写紧急信息。

36、[C8]

A、carmaker

B、policeman

C、doctor

D、operator

标准答案：D

知识点解析：从上下文的意思来看，装置自动打电话给接线员，然后接线员与车内

人通话。所以应该选择D。

37、[C9]

A^via

B、near

C、by

D、beside

标准答案：A

知识点解析：via的意思是bymeansof（凭借），后面往往跟名词，senttheletter

viaairmailo其他选都不符合句意。

38、[CIO]

A、assists

causes

C、makes

D、helps

标准答案：D

知识点解析：从句子的结构看，不能选择A和B,因为它们的用法是：

assist（cause）sth.orsb.todosth..而在这个句子里find之前没有动词不定式标志

toomakesb.do的结构中不带to,但make的意思不符合句意。
