2、ThemainpurposeofthisarticleistohighlypraiseIngridforherdedicationtoher

career.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：通读全文可知文章主要介绍了英格丽,褒曼的演艺生涯，字里行间都

流露出对英格丽.褒曼对表演事业的执著精神的高度赞扬，故此判断正确。

3、Ingridowedherwholecareertothatelevatorboy.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：C

知识点解析：文章中提到是在一个电梯操作员的介绍下，英格丽.褒曼得以被一个

故无从判断。

Lindstrom存在婚姻关系的同时，却给Rossellini生了一个孩子，遭到了舆论的谴

责，甚至被美国国会抨击为“不应该再踏上美国的国土“，但这显然不是被驱逐出美

国，而是去美国之前。

5、DuringplayingtheroleofIsraeliPrimeMinisterGoldaMeir,IngridBergmanwas

sufferingfromadeadlycancer.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：由文章的后面部分可知1973年英格丽患上了癌症，此后就一直受到

病痛的折磨，在饰演GoldaMeir时更是如此，从“inconstantpain”可知。

St.Mary's,OpenCity,andetc.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：所列举的前两部电影是由英格丽主演的，但OpenCity是由Rossellini

执导的一部影片，英格丽是“wenttosee"，而不是去饰演某个角色，故判断错误。

7、IngridspentherchildhoodinSweden.

A、Y

B、N

difficultsituationofhercareer.

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：由文中最后一段可知英格丽.褒曼在（卡萨布兰卡）中饰演的lisaLund

色。由第十三段可知是影片Anastasia使英格丽的表演事业拨云见日，重现光明。

9、IngridBergmanwashighlypraisedasbyaU.S.congressman.

标准答案：oneofthegreatestartistsofourtime

career.

标准答案：screentests

知识点解析：由第五段可知即使在英格丽的演艺事业如日中天时，她也坚持要试

镜，不省掉这一导演不要求她参预的考试-

11、Ingriddidn'tattend,buttherewasstillaseatarrangedforher.

标准答案：theEdinburghInternationalFestival

知识点解析：由倒数第三段可知英格丽那时候已生命垂危，不能出席“爱丁堡国际

艺术节”，但作者发现，主办方仍旧安排了英格丽的席位，这使得作者大为动容。

E)dcalsM)rcccivingF)cxtcntN)sevcrcG)importantO)slightH)lcft

44、[SI]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：从句子的结构来看本处应使用动词。综合分析前句和后句是相呼应的

句子，前句用了some和replant,后句又用了olhers,所以空格处应是与replanl意

义相同的动词。动词中只看replace可选。

45、[S2]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：此处应填名词，仅有的两个名词中，benefil意思是“好处、利益”，明

显与后面的名词damage不符，因而应填extentodependspartlyontheextentof

damage的意思是“部分取决于损害的程度”。

46、[S3]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：此处填形容词。本句中后面两个名词短语用。「来连接，前一个是

industrialwaste,后一个应该意思相近，故应填hannful,其他与句意不符。

47、[S4]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：此处空格为系表结构，可推断此处应填形容词。结合第一段因洪灾遭

受损失和此处空格下一句话雨季延迟导致大豆产量下滑，可确定天气对作物的产量

十分重要。

48、[S5]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：此处用完成时态，应用过去分词。而“cavesth.+宾语补足语”的用法

在此得到体现，suffer则无此用法，此句句意是“雨季延迟已经导致18个主要大豆

种植州的12个州种植的大豆数量低于五年平均值”，

49、[S6]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：此空格的前一句说旱灾导致大豆产量锐减，后面乂谈到其他作物，可

知其他作物也受到损失。

50、[S7]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此处应填副词，根据前句多达50辆火车从该车站通过的情况，可知

该站还是较为繁忙的。后句用了bul作转折，可知前句应当是表达积极含义的副

词，partly从逻辑和语感都不适合填在此处。

51、[S8]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：本段主要表达洪灾对基础设施的破坏性极大，所有市政管理人员要采

取步骤防止严重的财产殒失。

52、[S91

标准答案：E

知识点解析：本句意思为中西部应对近期的洪灾时，加州正面临越来越严重的干

旱。本句deals符合第三人称单数形式且符合句意。

53、[S10]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：此空格应填动词。本段说明加州此次旱灾极为罕见，表明州政府根据

降雨急剧减少的事实，为了减轻旱灾和其他限制发出了此行政命令。follow在此处

用法极好，通过排除法也知唯有此词可选。

54>Digitaltechnologiesreallybegantotakeformwhen.

A、informationwasencoded

B、DVDtechnologywasintroduced

C^itwasusedwithphotography

D、usedincomputing

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。从题干中的takeformwhen”成形于...之时“可以判断，此

题考查的是digitaltechnologies的起源。关键词digitaltechnologies首先出现在第一

段第三句。第四句中的ihey指代的就是digitaltechnologies,该句话说明了其起

源，即beginwithcomputing,选项D的内容与此相符。第一段第三句和第二段第

一句分别指出，DVD和pholography只是模拟技术向数字技术转变的例子而已，因

此排除选项B和C,根据第一段末句可知道，encodedinformationthatnever

degrades是数字技术产品的特征，因此排除选项A。

55、Theexampleofphotographyisusedtoshow.

A、howdigitaltechnologyhasreplacedtraditionalfilm

B、howeconomicalitistousedigitaltechnologysinceitstoressomuch

C、theenormousstorageadvantagesofdigitaltechnology

D、howdigitaltechnologyhasimprovedthequalityofproduction

标准答案：C

知识点解析：细节题。题干中的theexampleotphonography出现在第二段第一句。

本题考查的是文章以摄影为例的目的是什么。从第二段第二句中的colleclvast

amountsofdata和第三句中的store300timesmoreinformationthanadecadeago可

知，作者要通过这个例子说明数字技术有信息存储量大的优势，这正是选项C的

内容。

56、Theauthorimpliesthatexcitementoverthedigitalrevolutionmaybehinderedby

A、dieeconomicrealitiesofitspracticality

R、robusteconomicgrowth

C>economicproblemsofhi-techcompanies

D、ignoranceofthetechnology

标准答案：c

知识点解析：推断题。关键词digitalrevolution出现在第三段第一句。前半句总结

上文，说明了数字技术革命好的一面，后半句用allhough引出其不好的一面。该句

中的over-shadowed与题干中的hindered意思相近.也就是说，是thestrugglesof

high-techindustries对数字技术革命造成了负面影响。而thestruggles的目的是

recoverfromthego-goyearsofthe1990s.也就是卜句中的areturntorobust

economicgrowtho归根结底，这些高科技企业的经济问题对数字革命的成就产生了

负面影响，因此C为正确答案。

57、Byusingthephrase"staytunedforgoodnews"(Line5,Para.3)theauthorwants

usto.

A、hopethatthegoodnewswon'tchange

B、expectmorepositiveinnovations

C^waitforthesituationtochangeforthebetter

D、tryandbemoreoptimistic

标准答案：B

知识点解析：语义题。从第三段最后一句中的so可以看出，其前后两个分句是因

果关系：staytunedforgoodnews的原因是，历经了二十年的数字技术革命continue

tobearfruit,该句中的digitally是指fromthedigitalinnovationsostaytunedfbr…常

用于广播节目或电视节目中，意思是“请继续收听或收看……”，这里作者是用展望

未来的口吻让读者期待digitalinnovations有更多的goodnews,因此选项B为正确

答案。

58、Thepassageisbasecontheauthor's.

A、experienceofthechanges

B、admirationofthechanges

C>hopeforchanges

D、analysisofthechanges

标准答案：B

知识点解析：观点题，文章第一段以DVD为例，引出对ahistoricshiftfromanalog

todigitaltechnologies的赞叹；第二段
