1、

A、detected

B、caught

C、disclosed

D、revealed

标准答案：A

知识点解析：语义衔接题。根据上文可知，所填词是用来说明一种疾病——SARS

的，再由下文的forthefirsttime可知，这种疾病是首次被发现,故选[A]detected可

以表示“发觉，查出3Jcaughl表示“患病”，此处并没有提到具体的人患病，所以

不符文意；而©disclosed和[D]revealcd都表示“公开，透露（内幕

2、

A、but

B、and

C^or

D、yet

标准答案：B

知识点解析：逻辑衔接题。本题后面的句子与前文所述内容是明显的顺承关系，选

项中能表示顺承关系的只有［B］and。所以答案为［B］。

3、

A、time

B、point

C、aspect

D、instance

标准答案；B

知识点解析：惯用衔接题。首先可以排除［A］,因为之前并没有发生过类似的事

情，所以不用强调说@1日尔1而©“这一次"；2］加团心也排除，因为没有atthis

instance这种用法.文章大意是“这一点，围绕着这一疾病，问题比答案要多工

［B］point表示“这一点”，可指代整个事件；而［C］aspeci只表示事物的某--方面。困

此，［B］更合适。

4、

A、from

B、over

C>upon

D、with

标准答案：D

知识点解析：语义衔接题。startfrom”从…君手”；slarlupon”开始做某事，着手处

理…”；startwit"以…开始start不与over连用。根据末句的句意，疾病是以发烧

的症状开始的。因此，答案为［D］with。

5、

A、hurt

B、sore

C、aches

D、feelings

标准答案：C

知识点解析：语义衔接题。本题所填词语需要与前面的fever,chills,headache相照

应；且必须和空前的body搭配，表示患病后的身体症状。观察选项，首先排除

［D］,因为bodyfeelings不是患病后的症状，而［A］hurt、［B］sore不能与body连

用。因此［C］为本题答案，bodyaches“身体疼痛，全身酸痛”的确为非典的症状。

6、

A^process

B、advance

C、progress

D^convert

标准答案：C

知识点解析：语义衔接题。观察上下文，上文的adrycough与下文的shorlnessof

breath在表示疾病的程度上，有明显的先后关系。根据常识，由干咳到呼吸短促，

是疾病恶化的一个症状。那么，现在需要的，就是一个能表示“恶化”意思的词。选

项中，[B]advance”发展，向前''和[C]progress”发展，进步”可以表示“发展而

[B]advance多表示“进步”，属于积极意义，疾病恶化显然不能用advance来说明，

故只能选[©progress。

7、

A^automatic

B、artificial

C、mechanical

D^controlled

标准答案：C

知识点解析：语义衔接题。本题所在句子大意是“病人需要辅助进行呼吸''。而

[B]artificial“人工的，手工制作的”多指通过人工劳动来完成的产品。联想到医院里

为病人提供的辅助呼吸的设施，不难发现，[C]mechanica】“机械的，有机械辅助的“

最为合适。[A]automatic“自动的"和[D]comroHed“被控制的”,均不合文意。

8、

A^regularly

B、ordinarily

C^traditionally

D^generally

标准答案：D

知识点解析：语义衔接题。由下文中的butsomereports可以推测，前文所填的词

应该与some相对应。some表示一些特殊情况，那么前面的词就该是表示•般情况

的。因为[D]generally“通常地”为本题答案。排除[A]regularly“习惯地”、

[B]ordinarily“平常地”和[C]traditionaiy传统意义上地”。

9、

A^will

B、might

C、should

D^must

标准答案：B

知识点解析：语义衔接题。由上文内容可知，一般情况下，2〜7天会出现症状，

但是有些特例可能是10天才出现症状。表示推测可能性的词，只有[Bright”或

许，可能''最合适。其他三项都太绝对。

10、

A^cultivating

B、fostering

C、developing

D、designing

标准答案：C

知识点解析：语义衔接题。根据alabtesttodiagnoseSARS可知，科学家们是想出

了一种来诊断SARS的实验室测试。由文义可知，SARS是一种突发病，所以之前

不可能有诊断SARS的实验,所以闻cultivating“精心培育”和网fostering“培养”都

不可能，因为只有在原来已存在的基础上，才可能再去培育或培养。那么，只有

［C］developing"发展，制定”最符合文意。［D］designing虽然有“设计,制定”之意，

但是多表示对工业品或图案的设计。因此答案为|C］。

11、

A^which

B、that

C、whether

D^what

标准答案：B

知识点解析：结构衔接题。观察本题所在句可以发现，所需要填写的是一个关联

词，来表示evidence与后面内容之间的关系。很明显，后面内容是对evidence的

解释说明，二者之间为同位关系，需要用个连接词山山。所以选［B］。

12、

A、so

but

C、still

D、yet

标准答案：A

知识点解析：逻辑衔接题。由前文的noevidence...help和后面的only可知，前后之

间是因果关系。因为药物不能起到帮助作用，所以医生只能提供一些护理。表示因

果关系的词只有［A］so.

13、

A、communication

transportation

C、transformation

D^transmission

标准答案：D

知识点解析：语义衔接题。观察选项，再由patientswithSARS可知，本题是要选

择一个表示“传染”的词语。前面的isolation“隔离”也正对应了这一点。虽然选项所

给的词语形似.彳日是只有［DJtransmission有“传染”的意思

14、

A、lately

B、newborn

C、newly

D、renewed

标准答案：C

知识点解析：语义衔接题。联系全文可知，SARS是一种新发现的病毒。［A］latcly

和［C］newly虽然都表示“新的，最近的“，但是newly要比lately表示的时间更接

近。因此，［C］newly为本题答案。

15、

A、under

B、through

C、beneath

D、from

标准答案：B

知识点解析：语义衔接题。由passed和下文中的wheninfectedpatientscoughor

sneeze可以知道，本题需要选择一个表示疾病传染的介苗，只葡B］through“通过”

最合适。［A］unde产在…下面”、©beneath"在…之下”和“从…”都不合文

息。

16、

A、acquire

B、receive

C、obtain

D、contract

标准答案：D

知识点解析：语义衔接题。四个选项中，［A］acquire“获得“、［B］receive“收到”、

［C］obtain“得到"，只有［DJconlracl有“感染”的意思。所以本题答案为［D］。

17、

A、ailment

B、ill-hcalth

C、disease

D、infection

标准答案：C

知识点解析：语义衔接题。根据spreadthroughair以及ihevirus可知，本题所填的

词是病毒的同义词。选项中，只有［C］disease“疾病”符合文意。所以答案为［0。

18、

A、continue

B、linger

C>delay

D^persist

标准答案：B

知识点解析：语义衔接题。通读上卜文和选项可知，本句大意为“病毒可在门拉手

或类似物上存留2〜3个小时工表示“存留”的词只有[B]linger“继续存留”和

[D]persist“持续”。一般情况下，persisl表示较长时间的持续。2〜3个小时的存留，

用linger更合适。

19、

A、exteriors

B、outside

C、surfaces

D、coverings

标准答案：C

知识点解析：语义衔接题。本题所填写的词与doorknob对应。根据常识可知，病

毒停留在物体表面，人们通过接触而传染。[A]exteriors”外貌，外表”、

[B]outside”…的外面"、[C]su命ces“表面”、[D]coverings“遮盖物,掩蔽物很明

显，只有[C]surfaces最合适。所以本题答案为[C]。

20、

A、probably

B、obviously

C、unlikely

D^clearly

标准答案：C

知识点解析：逻辑衔接题。注意空格所在句的衔接词though表示前后有让步关

系，上一句说明病毒停留在物体表面，人们通过接触而传染，既然是让步关系，那

么本句要表达的意思是与患者同乘•电梯就会传染病毒还不太可能，所以选[C]。

若选其他三项，则不符合上下文的逻辑关系。

21、What'sSamaranch'sattitudetowardsdruguseinOlympicGaines?

A^Indignant

B、Tolerate

C、Paradoxical

D、Neutral

标准答案：C

知识点解析：细节理解。文章第一段第一句中提到，"ForyearsLO.C.CzarJuan

AntonioSamaranchhasexhibitedapronouncedambivalenceaboutdruguse".即"萨吗

兰奇对兴奋剂使用表现出了明显的又爱又憎的感情”，因此与选项C的含义是符合

的。

22、Accordingto(hepassage,whichofthefollowingisTRUE?

A^Whenathletestakesteroidcreams,theywouldbedefinitelytested.

B、Thetestingsystemisnotexactenoughbecausetheathletesarcinformedtesting

C、MorethanhalfoftheOlympic—caliberU.S.athleteshavetakenthedreadfuldrugs

towinthegame

D、Erythropoietinisakindofdrugthatcanenhanceanathlete'sperformancein20

minutes.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节分析。文章第一段第二、三句话提到“Carefulalhlelescaneasily

beatthesystemthatisinplacetocatchdrugabusers.Unscrupuloussportsfederations

cantailortestingschedulesandtipofftheirconstituents".大意为"细心的运动员可以

轻易赢过测试使用兴奋剂系统。粗心大意的运动联盟制作了测试的时间表和透露了

测试方案”，运动员由丁•知道了测试时间就可以事先做好准备，于是导致测试不出

是否服用了兴奋剂。所以B正确。

23WhichofthefollowingactionsisnotwhattheI.O.C.willtaketodealwiththe

drugs?

A^Dothetestingwithoutgivinganyinformation.

B、Federalizethesportsfederationstogether

C、Dothetestinathatcandetectallkindofdrugs.

D、Dothetestingoutofthecompetition.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：细节理解s在文章第四段中提到，"Theonlywaytocatchacheatis

withunannounced,oul-of-competitionlesling"."唯一能抓出作弊者的方法就是进行

亳无预兆的场外测试二由此得出选项A”不提供任何信息而来做检测"和"在比赛之

外做测试”是奥委会将采用的措施。另外，“federalize”也是奥委会需要做的事情，

"Athirdofthe28federationshaveyettoagreetoout-of-competitiontestsinadvanceof

(heSydneyGames","28个运动唳盟中有三分之一同意了在悉尼奥运会之前进行场

外的测试，所以选项B”联合运动联盟”也是措施之一。从第四段第一句"imperfect

testforEPO-use”可知，无法有能测试出所有药物的检测方法，因此选项C为正确

答案。

24、Whatis(heexpression"knockcheatersoffstride"mean?

A^Todestroycheater^plan

B、Tokickcheatersoutofgame

C、Tomakecheatersexhausted

D、Tohelpcheatersworkingontheirplan

标准答案：A

知识点解析：理解推断。根据第四段marathonerFrankShorter认为"knowingatestis

loomingthatwillknockcheatersoffstride".即"知道测试的存在会像海市蜃楼一样打

乱作弊者的步伐”，之后又说如果没有测试红细胞生成素，那么比赛就会值得怀

疑,由此可以推断出A为正确答案。

25、Whatisfollowingisthecause(ha(willmake(heOlympicGamessuspectandno

longerworthwatching?

A^Theparticipationofcheaters

B、TheuntestedEPO-use

C、Lackofnewworldrecords

D^Unannouncedandout-of-competitivetest

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节分析。文章最后一段的最后两句话告诉我们"ifthereisnoEPO

testatSydney,theneveryenduranceorstrengthperformanceissuspect.He'sright

Andwhensportbecomessuspect—whennoonebelievesini(一it's,nolongerworth

watching''.即”如果在悉尼(奥运会)没有对红细胞生成素的监测，所有与耐力和力

量有关的比赛都会遭到质疑。而当运动遭到质疑，没有人相信它，那么也就不值得

观看了，由此可以得出正确答案为B。

A^analyzetheadverseeffectofacadcmicisingonphilosophy

B、describethedegenerationofphilosophicalwriting

C、discusstheapproachabili:yofphilosophytotheordinary

D^exemplifythewritingprincipleofgreatphilosophers

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第一段首句指出《作家协会》新近刊登一篇主题为“哲学是否需要为

普通人所及''的文章，随后两句指出该文作者布莱克本观点：伟大哲学家为人类而

作，而20世纪哲学的学术化使得情况开始变得糟糕。卜文作者则围绕布莱克本“哲

学为人类而作''这一观点展开论述，可见，作者通过引用《作家协会》一刊，旨在

探讨哲学对大众的可及性问题,[C]选项最符合文意。

27、ThesecondparagraphsuggeststhatPlatowrotefor.

A^thegeneralreader

B、aneliteaudience

C、therulersofhistimes

D、hisidealphilosophers

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第二段是在反驳第一段所述布莱克本观点“伟大哲学家为人类而作”。

28、SimonBlackburnholdsthatphilosophyexceedsothersciencesin.

A^interestingness

B、technicality

C^accessibility

D、usefulness

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第三段第四句明确指出，布莱克本认为哲学不像科技那样单凋乏味，

它所闸释的内容跟人类生活息息相关，能够丰富人性价值，所以人们应该能够理解

它.

29、TheodorAdorno'sattitudetowardstheideaof"writingforhumanity"isone

of.

A、strongdisapproval

B、reservedconsent

C^slightcontempt

D、enthusiasticsupport

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第四段第四句至末尾直接引川哲学家西奥多.阿多诺原话指出，哲学

无法解释，如果能被解释，则为多余，真正能被解释者实为误解。由此可推知，西

奥多.阿多诺强烈反对“哲学为人类而作''这一观点。［A］选项正确。

3。、ThelastparagraphimpliesthatBlackburn'sfinalsuggestionis.

A^indirect

B、infeasible

C、insightful

illogical

标准答案：D

知识点解析：本题看似在考查最后一段，实际侧面考查通篇作者对布莱克本观点的

站位，需要捋顺通篇作者思路才能正确解答。

A、Scoble'sblognevergivespeoplethefalseinformation.

B、Microsoftdoesn'tagreewiththeopinioninScoble'sbiog.

C、Scoblewillnotwriteany:hinginhisblogwhenheleavesMicrosoft.

D^Scoble'sblogbecomesthemostpopularcorporateblogintheInternet.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：这是道细节题，必须纵观全又才能得出答案。第一段第二句说The

softwaregiant's''technicalevangelist",Mr.Scoblehasbecomethebest-knownexample

ofacorporateblogger."作为这一软件巨头的‘技术讲师'，Scoble先生已经成为企业

博客界最知名的典范"。文中的thebest-known就相当于选项D中的themost

popular,所以D符合题意。第三段末句说Anotherbloggersays(ha(hisdeparture

showsthe"endofhonestblogging"."另一个博客作家说，Scoble的离开预示着‘诚实

博客的终结诚实博客中的内容是真实的、可信的，但A的说法过于绝对，故排

除。第二段第二句说Laslyear,afterhebloggedagainstMicrosoft'sdecisionto

abandonsupportfbralawprohibitingdiscriminationagainstgays,thecompany's

managersbackeddown."去年，他在博客中抨击了微软关于不再支持一项禁止歧视

同性恋的法律的决定，之后公司管理人员只好收回成命，如果微软不同意Scoble

博客中的观点，那么就不会收回成命了，故选项B错误。文章中没有提到他离开

微软后就不写博客的信息。故选项C错误。

32WhichistherealreasonforRobertScoblctoleaveMicrosoft?

A、Hedoesn'tgetalongwithMicrosoftanylonger.

B、Hewishestohaveasingleoffice.

C、Hewantstoearnmoremoney.

D^Hedoesn'tthinkthatMicrosofthasbeenabletomovewithtimes.

标准答案：C

知识点解析:第三段第二句和第四句:Mr.Scoblehasdeniedseveralofthetheories

circulatingintheblogosphere,includingthat...fedupwithhavinghisexpenses

challengedorwithsharinganoffice;thatMicrosoftchallengedhisviewstoooften;that

hehadbecomefrustrated;andthatthefirmhadnottriedhardenoughtokeephim.He

viewsMr.Scoblc'sdepartureasevidencethatMicrosofthasbeenunabletomovewith

thetimes:"I'mgladtoseemyoldfrienddidn'tgodownwiththeship"；笫四段末

句：…$85000aweek..."asImadeinanentireyearworkingatMicrosoft.这是道细节

题，可从第三段和第四段找答案。第三段开头列举了很多原因，但都被Scoblc「

一否定。第四段第三句说Mr.ScobleisofftojoinPodTech.net,arisingstarinvideo

podcasting,whichisnowfarmorefashionablethanbloggingandpotentiallyfarmore

lucrative,由此可知Scoble之所以离职,是因为准备加入PodT公司(注：位

于硅谷)，这是一家新兴的视频播客公司，播客如今比博客更时尚，也更有利可

图。末句某报道引用Scoble的话称PodT公司向广告客户收取每周85000美

元的广告费，相当于他在微软公司干上一年挣的钱。这说明PodT公司发展

迅速、经营良好，这样就能使Scoble赚取更多的钱。C符合题意。”微软没有与时

俱进”这个观点是他的朋友DaveWiner所提出的，而Scoble对此没有表态，这也不

是他真正离职的原因，故D不对。A和B都被Scoble予以否认。

33、Theword"sinister"(LineI,Para.4)mostprobablymeans.

A、minister.

B、evil.

C、beneficial.

D^righteous.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第四段首句Therealreasonmaybelesssinister—thoughtroublingfor

thegrowingnumberofemployersencouragingtheiremployeestoblog.在第四段首句出

现了表示委婉转折的词汇real和though,所以lesssinister和troubling的含义应该

是相反的。同时由于less表示否定，所以正确答案应该是•个与troubling含义相

近的词，只有B含贬义，故为答案。有些同学没有选择B是觉得evil的意思是”邪

恶的“，好像与文章不符，但是它还有“带来麻烦的、不幸的、有害的、诽谤的”等

多个意思，而sinister的意思正是suggestingevil,orthatsth.badmayhappen,

unlucky”邪恶的、险恶的、不详的”。C和D均为褒义词，与作者观点相反，有些

考生没有注意到less,力会误选它们。minister与sinister只是拼写接近，意思则大

相径庭。

34TowardScoblc'sleavingandhisblog,thewriter'sattitudecanbesaidtobe.

A、objective.

B、supportive.

C、biased.

D^apprehensive.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：整篇文章整篇文章虽然谈到了Scoble离开微软的种种可能原因，有

褒有贬，但都是他人的猜测。而旦文章自始至终语气都较为客观，所以“客观的“符

合题意。其他三项均不符合题意，排除。

35、Thebesttopicforthetextmaybe.

A、ScobleandHisBlog.

B、BloggingOff,VideobloggingIn.

C、BlogMan.

D、BlogorVideoblog.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此题为全文主旨题本题考查学生对文章主旨及态度的理解，这与

2002年真题第1篇文章第5题的出题思路一致。木题难点在于准确把握四个选

项。文章描写了Scoble离耿的情况，并分析其原因，而”走出博客，投身播客”形象

地展现出Scoblc的选择和正在发生的事情，故符合题意。”博客还是播客”这个标题

意味着一个选择，但Scoble已经做出了选择，进入了播客公司。故不符合题意，

排除。”Scoble和他的博客“和“博客男人”都不能完整表现出全文的深层含义。

D、Pretrialconferenceswillsomedayprobablyhavereplacedtrialscompletely.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文章一开头就指出了美国司法体制存在的一些弊端，即花费过大，耗
