A、specific

peculiar

CNunique

D、unified

标准答案：A

知识点解析：考查卜下文语义衔接与形容词辨析.所填词欲说明经济预测•般以什

么理论为基础，后面句子Sometheoriesarecomplicated...Othersarerelativelysimple

对这一限定词给予提示，说明这种理论不是唯一的，故首先排除unique”唯一的，

独一无二的”；同时排除unified”统一的，一元化的“；peculiar指“奇特的，罕见的

”，一般用来描述与众不同的东西，显然不适合于修饰这里的iheory；只有specific”

特定的”符合题意，表示这种理论是特定的。

2、

A、trail

B、trap

C>tracking

D、tracing

标准答案：D

知识点解析：考查上下文语义衔接与近义词辨析。空格后的causeandeffect提示本

句意思是耍弄清楚因果关系，也就是要追溯因果关系，因此选〔racing”追溯，调查

"otrail作名词时是”痕迹，踪迹"；trap作名词时，意为"陷阱，诡计”，是个形近干

扰项；tracking是“跟踪”，常指通过某物留下来的一个记号或一系列记号来追踪。

3、

A^claiming

B、ascribing

C、referring

D^crediting

标准答案：B

知识点解析：考查上下文语义衔接与近义词辨析。首先注意所填词用于...sth.tosth.

结构，据此排除claiming与crediting,因为claim是"声称,断言”,直接用于claim

todo/be结构，credit作"归功于"时一般短语是becreditedto。其余ascribesth.to

sb./sth,意思是”归因于，归咎于“；refersb.tosih.短语是“告诉某人何处寻找信息

”；这里是说其他的理论都相对简单，把经济发展主要归因于一两个因素，显然只

有ascribing符合文意。

4、

A^resolve

B>determine

C、settle

D^conclude

标准答案：B

知识点解析：考查近义词辨析。本句承接上一句，forexample举例说明经济发展

主要归因的一两个因素，四千选项均有“决定”之意，但注意与主语及宾语的搭配，

resolve是"做决定"，其主语一般是人；determine”产生决定性的影响，决定"；settle

作“决定”讲的时候一般用于被动语态；conclude一般指经过讨论之后决定某事的正

确性。显然，只有determine符合题意，意思是指货币供应量的变化决定商.业的增

长率。

5、

A、appoint

B、distribute

C、assign

D、dictate

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本题考查上下文语义衔接。这一句话和上一句是并列关系，先讲了

Manyeconomists的看法.然后讲Others的看法c因此所填词与ascribe同义嵬现，

有“归因于"之义，同时又符合…sth.tosth.结构，因此选assignsth.toslh.表示"将…

归功于"。appoint表示壬命，委派”,用法为appointsb.tosth.或appointsb.todo

sth.；distribute表示"分发，分给"，用法distributeslh.among/tosb.；dictate是"强行

规定，指令，指定"，用法为dictatesth.tosb.o

6、

A、accountfor

B、compriseup

C、makeupof

D、consistof

标准答案：A

知识点解析：考查上下文语义衔接和近义词辨析。注意所填词的宾语是alarge

share,推测这句话的意思是消费者在经济活动中占很大一部分，accountfor的意思

是"占据"，由此来排除其他。comprise"构成"的正确搭配为becompriseof;makeup

用于主动语态,意思是“构成"，bemadeupof是被动形式;consistof是"由…组成

”，显然不符合此处语义。

7、

A、waste

B、invest

C>purchase

D、economize

标准答案：B

知识点解析：考查上下文语义衔接。注意空格词与save由or连接，可以判断与

save反义复现，首先排除与save有同义关系的选项economize"节约”。所填词和

save应该有同一个宾语，即文章中没有出现却暗含的money,由此可以排除

purchase；而waste"浪费"明显不符合常理，只有invest既符合语义，又与上一句中

的inveslmeni相呼应。本句大意是有些经济学家认为消费者投资或者储蓄的决定是

对未来整个经济进程的首要提示。

8、

A、symptoms

B、clues

C、evidences

D、signals

标准答案：B

知识点解析：考查近义词辨析和固定搭配。该选项后面紧跟介词2,右面跟t。的

名词只有clue”线索，暗示"；symptom是"症状，征兆”，尤其指不好的预示，这里

没有不好的表示；evidence是”根据，证据，迹象”，一般与介词。f或者for连用，

而不是to；signal指"暗号，信号"，与介词of连用。

9、

A、secondary

B、critical

C、minor

D、remarkable

标准答案：B

知识点解析：考查上下文语义衔接。文章一开头就说经济预测以特定经济理论为基

础，接下来都在讲述经济理论的重要作用。而critical是“决定性的”，指最重要

的，只有这一项符合文章意思。secondary是"次要的，第二的”，一般用于比较；

minor是"次要的”,也常用于事物的比较；remarkable是"值得注意的,非凡的“，常

用于值得表扬的事。

10、

A、instructs

orders

C、affects

D^dictates

标准答案：D

知识点解析：考查上下文语义衔接。这一句话中的it指前面的Iheory,上一句已经

说了【heory的重要性，这一句是对上一句的具体解释，讲到理论对调查、数据和

技术的决定作用，因此选dictate”指示、控制”的意思。instruct”命令，指示”、

order”命令”，两者都应以人作主语，不能是此处的iheory；affecl是‘影响"的意

思，注意后面的宾语还有statistics与techniques,理论影响数据与技术显然程度不

够。

11、

A^outline

B、shape

C、profile

D、diagram

标准答案：A

知识点解析：考查上下文语义衔接和近义词辨析。根据上一段所讲述的经济理论的

重要作用，可以推测这一句话的意思是经济学概论会决定预报的要点，因此只有

outline"要点，摘要”符合。shape是"外形，形状，形式“；profile是“外形，轮廓"；

diagram是"图表,图解"。

12、

A、odd

B、strange

C>unique

D、common

标准答案：C

知识点解析：考查卜下文语义衔接c后而已经说是specialcurrentcirciimstance’.

因此可以推断目前的情况独特，unique就是“独一无二的"，与special呼应。odd”奇

怪的，不寻常的，古怪的"；strange”陌生的，奇怪的"；common”普通的”。

13、

A、specific

B、regular

C^usual

D、particular

标准答案：C

知识点解析：考查上下文语义衔接。这句话后半部分的意思是”修正以考虑目前的

特殊情况”，可以推断出修正的是通常使用的统计方法，即所填词与special反义，

因此选usual”通常的“。specific”具体的“；regular是嘴例的，定期的”；而

particular是"特别的，独有的”。

14、

A^sure

B、avoidable

C、positive

D、inevitable

标准答案：D

知识点解析：考查上下文语义衔接。由后一句forexample的举例可以看出本句意

思是经济正常运作之外的事件对经济产生不可避免的影响，这时修改原来的预报就

很有必要。inevitable是"不可避免的，必然的“，符合文意。sure表示”主观上的确

信"；avoidable表示”可以避免的”，意思和文章相反；posilive是"积极的，正面

的，有利的”。

15、

A、expand

B、decline

C、increase

D、deviate

标准答案：B

知识点解析：考查上卜文语义衔接。由后面的提示，consumerspendingwould

slacken”消费者支出减少”，可以推断原因是美元交换价值下降，排除了expand和

increase,另外,deviate是"背离,偏离”,常和from连用,表示偏离某一标准,所

以正确的只有declineo

16、

A、asset

B、capital

C、interest

D、profit

标准答案：C

知识点解析：考查固定嗒配。这里说的是利率小有增长，表示“利率”的固定搭配是

interestrateoasset是"资产，有用的东西"；capital表示"资本"；profit表示"利益"。

17、

A、through

B、up

C、in

D、on

标准答案：B

知识点解析：考查上下文语义的衔接和固定搭配。这里说的是这些结论都没有利用

纯粹的经济分析，followup是“利用”的意思。followon是"紧随”的意思;另外，

follow一般不与through和in连用。

18、

A^Obviously

B、Occasionally

C、Consequently

D、Similarly

标准答案：D

知识点解析：考查上下文的逻辑连接。该题所在句和这一段的第二句是并列的，第

二句讲的是通常统计方法下的预测需要modify,而后面说的是传统方法的预测需

要adjust,modify与adjust本身就是近义词，因此说前后两句相似性对照，故选

Similarly。

19、

A、setting

B、conditions

C^surroundings

D、background

标准答案：B

知识点解析：考查上下文语义衔接和固定搭配。这里说的是要考虑其他独特的情

形，因此只有condilion"情形"正确。selling是指"环境，背景"；surrounding是指"周

围的环境，条件";background是“背景"。

20、

A、quit

B、alter

C、preserve

D、invent

标准答案：B

知识点解析：考查卜下文语义的衔接c这句话也是给出了原因.让我们推测结果.

意思是说因为进口价格上涨或者害怕供应不足，消费者会改变消费结构，选alter”

改变”，与前面的adjust语义相近，排除quit“放弃"：preserve”保留"；invent”发明，

创造”。

ThehistoryofresponsestotheworkoftheartistSandroBotticelli(1444〜1510)
