48、[SI]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：根据句子结构此处应为名词；从句意看，此处意为大使是美国在其他

国家的官方代表，因此应选representative”代表或代理”。

49、[S2]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：从句子结阂看，此处应为名词；从段落结构可知，空格所在句是主题

句，下文.主要介绍大使的职责或工作范围，因此该题应填入一个与“职责，工作”意

义相关的单词，应选responsibilities”任务，职责”；

50、[S3]

标准答案：卜

知识点解析：从语法结沟看，此处应为形容词；从句意看，空格所在句说明一名大

使需要具备的素质，即夕艮强的交际能力以及及时把握大使馆所驻国政治环境的相关

最新信息，所以此处应填入一个表示交际技能很强的单词，因此应选excellent。

51、[S4]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：从句子结沟看，此处应为动词原形；从句意看，空格所在句表达大使

要与美国国务院和其他部门经常保持联系，所以此处应填入一个意为“保持”的词，

即maintaino

52、[S5]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：从句法结沟看，这里缺少表语，选项中能在句中充当表语成分的只有

profitable,excellent和available。从句意看，空格所在句说明大使还可以向在国外

旅游的美国人提供帮助，三个单词中最能顺应这一句意的只有available,改词表示

“有用的，可以利用的”。

53、[S6]

标准答案：D

知识点解析♦：从句子结沟看，此处应为动名词；从语境和句意可以看出，空格所在

句说明“大使会帮助在国外旅游的美国人处理一些麻烦事”，由此可推测，在这种情

况下，大使应该负责帮助美国人离开这个发生不愉快情况的国家，因此应选

withdrawing^

54、[S7]

标准答案：0

知识点解析：从句子结沟看；此处应为动名词：从句意看，空格所在句描述大使在

防止战争以及民主和人权方面的工作目标，所以此处应填入一个能表达有利于民主

工作的词，应选promoting"促进，推进”。

55、[S8]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：从句子结沟可知，此处应为名词；从语境和句意看，空格所在句说明

大使会参与贸易方面的上作，最合适的是negotiations"谈判，洽谈

56、[S9]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：从句子结沟看，此处应为名词；从句意看，空格所在的分句表达：大

使参与美国和其他国家之间的贸易条约等方面的谈判，由此可见，此处应填入一个

与“贸易”连用的单词，因此应选agreements"协议，契约”。

57、[S101

标准答案：K

知识点解析：从句子结阂看，此处应为副词，用以修饰动词welcome；从语境看，

该空所在句的后半部分说明美国大使设宴，将来自美国的重要访客介绍给他们所驻

国的外交官和一些重要人员，由此可见，美国大使是很欢迎这些访客的，因此应选

warmly“热情的”。

58、Thispassageismostprobably.

A、areviewofMilton'sParadiseLost

B、anintroductionofwhatParadiseLostisabout

C、adepictionofthecruelnessoftheBritishruler

D、partofanintroductiontoEnglishliterature

标准答案：A-

知识点解析：主旨题。文章开头介绍《失乐园》的主要内容是关于亚当和夏娃是如

何被撒旦引诱偷吃禁果的；第二、三段是对作品中人物的介绍和评价；由此可知这

是对《失乐园》一书的评论。review指“书评”，故选A。

59、Accordingtothepassage,Milton.

A、describesSatanasaPuritan

doesn'tbelieveinGod

C、issatisfiedwiththeBritishruler

D、callsonpeopletofightagainstthedictator

标准答案：D

知识点解析：推断题。在诗中，弥尔顿将撒旦描绘成了反抗上帝的英雄式人物，作

者表面是为上帝对人类的惩罚进行辩护，其实却对其独裁统治表达了强烈的憎恨之

情，借以抒发对当时的英国统治者的不满，也以此号召人们起而反抗独裁统治者。

由此可知D正确。

60>Inthepoem,Satanisdescribedas.

A、anevilperson

contrarytowhatisdepictedintheBible

C、selfishandcrueldevil

D、astupidghost

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。由题干Satan可定位至第二段，最后一句说撒旦是诗中最引

人注目的人物，他勇敢地反对上帝，虽然行动失败但仍坚持不懈，由此可知弥尔顿

将撒旦描写成了革命者，这与《圣经》中的描写是相反的。由此可知B正确。这

里要注意文章中的转折句，通常是考点。

61、Whichofthefollowingcanbeinferredfromthispassage?

A、HadAdamandEvenoteatentheforbiddenfruit,humanbeingwouldbestill
