1、[Cl]

A^listened

B、felt

C、touched

D^heard

标准答案：D

知识点解析：A项“listen”表示“听，收听”，常见表达为力:stento”；B项“fee「表示

“感觉，触摸”，指用感觉去感觉；C项“touch”表示“接触，触摸”，指手指去感觉；

D项“hear”表示“听见,听到“，指用耳朵去感觉。由于这里修饰的宾语是“thunder”

雷声，应该用耳朵“听到”。A项是个不及物动词，不能用在这里，所以本题符合的

只有选项D。

2、[C2]

A、involve

B、interpret

C、recall

D、resolve

标准答案：C

知识点解析：A项“involve”表示“包括，潜心于"；B项“interpret”表示“解释，说

明”；C项“re—cal『表示“回忆，同想”：D项“resolve”表示“解决,解答由于本文

主要讲的就是有关“儿童失忆症这句话应该讲的是：成年人很少同忆起比上学前

那一年早得多的事情。应该选用“recall"。所以应该选C。

3、[C3]

A、largely

B、rarely

C、merely

D^really

标准答案：B

知识点解析：A项“largely”表示“主要地，很大程度上”：B项“rarely”表示“很少

地，罕有地”；C项“merely”表示“仅仅，只”；D项“really”表示“真正地，实在地”。

根据"justas”可知，前后两句的意思相近，前面用到“seldom"，表示很少记起以前

的事情，后面应该选用“idicly”。表示三、四岁的儿童很少记起任何具体的，涉及

个人的经历。所以应该选B。

4、[C4]

A^canceled

B、figured

C、proposed

D、witnessed

标准答案：C

知识点解析：A项“cancel”表示“取消，删去”；B项“figure”表示“描绘，塑造”；C

项“propose”表示“提议，提出"；D项“witness”表示“目击，目睹。由于这里的宾语

是“explanations"，所以只能用A和C；由于此处A与文章的意思相反。应该选用

“propose”。表示心理学家已经对这样的“儿童失忆症”提出了各种各样的解释。所以

应该选C。

5、[C5]

A^until

B、once

C、after

D^since

标准答案:A

知识点解析：这里与“not”搭配。“notunli『是固定搭配，表示,•直到……，”，表示

海马状突起（人脑内负责形成记忆的区域）直到两岁才发育成熟。应该选“until"。所

以应该选A。

6、[C6]

A^magnifies

B、intervenes

C、contains

D、maintains

标准答案：D

知识点解析；A项“magnify”表示“放大，扩大”；B项“intervene”表示“干涉，干

预”；C项“con-tain”表示响含，容纳”；D项“maintain”表示“主张由于主语是

“theory”理论，选用“maintain”最符合题意。所以应该选D。

7、[C7]

A^reflect

B、attain

C、access

refer

标准答案：A

知识点解析：A项“reflect”表示“反射，反映”；B项“attain”表示“获得，达到“；C项

“access”表示“得到，了解”；D项“re佗r”表示“涉及,提到”。这里对“儿童失忆症”的

解释是用大脑的海马状突起来说明的，由于成年人不像儿童那样思考，所以他们不

能反射出儿童的记忆。应该选用“reflect”作记忆的谓语动词。所以应该选A。

8、[C8]

A^narratives

B、forecasts

C、regulations

D、descriptions

标准答案：A

知识点解析：A项“narralive”表示“叙述”；B项“forecast”表示“预测，预想”；C项

“regulation”表示“规则，规章”；D项“description”表示“描写，记述由于句子中的

词用“or”连接，所以前后意思相近，所填的词应该与“stories”词义相近，表示他们

有关生活的记忆就像故事或者叙述。所以应该选用A-nan-ative^

9、[C9]

A、therest

B、another

C、theother

D、others

标准答案：B

知识点解析：这里要与“one”搭配。A项”【heresi”表示,,其余者”，指剩下来的人或

物;B项“another”表示“另一个”，通常与“one”搭配;C项“theother”表示“另一

个“，一般指两者之中的另外一个；D项“others”表示“其他的，另外的“，是复数形

式，也不与“one”搭配。从句意上来看应该表示的是“一件事紧跟一件“，所以应该

选Bo"onefbHowsanother”是习惯用法。

10、[CIO]

A^outputs

B、drcams

C、flashes

D、files

标准答案：D

知识点解析：A项“output”表示"输出，输出量''；B项"dream”表示“梦，梦想”；C

项“flash”表示“闪光，闪现”；D项“file”表示“文件，档案”。联系上下文可知,这里

用“file”最符合文意。所以应该选D。

11、[C11]

A、footstep

B、pattern

C、frame

D、landscape

标准答案：B

知识点解析：A项“footstep”表示“脚步，脚步声”；B项“pattern”表示“模式，虫

式”:C项“frame”表示“结构，设计”；D项“landscape”表示“陆上风景，山水画”。

本段讲到成人用语言思考来记忆，儿童时却缺少语言的交流和表达。所以当我们回

忆童年时就没有什么记忆。所以这里应该是“他们发现任何记录都适应不了这种方

式”。所以应该选B“pallem”。

12、[C12]

A^emphasis

B、arrangement

C、explanation

D、factor

标准答案：C

知识点解析：A项“emphasis”表示“强调，重点”；B项“arrangement”表示“排列,整

理”：C项"explanation”表示，解释，说明”；D项“factor”表示“因素，要素”。前一段

说心理学家对“儿童失忆症，•提出了各种各样的解弹。所以本句话：纽约州立大学的

心理学家安妮特・西蒙丝为儿童失忆症提出了一种新的解释。所以应该选用

Cexplanation^o

13、(C13)

A、aren't

B、weren't

C、isn't

D、wasn't

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题可用排除法。根据“argues”可知，这句话是一般现在时态，B、D

所用的时态不对，可以排除；由于这句话的主语是“memories”，谓语动词相应的也

应该用复数形式，C也不对，应予排除。所以本题的答案应是A“arcntL

14、[C14]

A、anyoneelse

B、anyoneelse's

C、someelse

D、someoneelse's

标准答案：D

知识点解析：A项“anyoneelse”表示“任何其他人”；B项“anyoneelse飞”表示“任何

其他人的“；C项"someelse”搭配不当；D项“someoneelse's”表示“其他人的”。这里

应该用形容词来修饰名词“description"，A的词性不对；B项是绝对的说法，显然

用在句中不恰当。所以本题的正确选项应是D"someoneelse's"。

15、[C15]

A、forgotten

B、remembered

C、forgetting

D、remembering

标准答案：A

知识点解析：A项“forgotten”表示“被忘却的”；B项“remembered”表示“回忆起，记

住”；C项“fbrgetting”表示“在遗忘的”;D项“remembering”表示“在记住的”。句中

“olong-termmemories”表示“把...变成长期的记忆”，由于空格前的•个

并列的词是“短暂的“，所以所填之词应该与之意思相近。又因为这里的主语是“印

象“，所用的词应该是表示被动。所以应该选A“fbrgotten”。

16、[C16]

A、senses

B、cases

C、words

D、means

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本题中所填的词要与前面的“inother”搭配。“inotherwords”是固定搭

配，表示“换句话说”，并且符合句意。所以应该选C“words”。

17、[C17]

A、him

B、theirs

C、it

D、them

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本句话意思是“儿童必须谈论自己的经历，并且要倾听别人谈

论……”，这里要填一个物主代词。文中用的是“theirexperiences“，是复数形式；

由于谈论的是他们的经历，而不是他们，应该选用“theirs"。所以应该选B。

18、[C18]

A、used

B、chosen

C、taken

D、spent

标准答案：D

知识点解析：A项“usecT浓示“被利用的”；B项“chosen”表示“被选择的”；C项

“taken”表示"被花费的"，常有"ittakessomeone..1。do...”,主语是物:D项“spent”

表示“被花费的“，主语是人。A、B用来修饰“theafternoon”显然对；本句话不是“it

takessomeone…todo…"句理，用"take”也不对。在本题中应该选D"spent”。

19、[C19]

A、habitual

B、verbal

C、pretty

D^mutual

标准答案：B

知识点解析:A项“habitual”表示“习惯的，惯常的"：B项“verbal”表示"口头的,言

辞上的”；C项“pretty”表示“漂亮的，美好的”；D项“mutual”表示“相互的，共有

的”。本段讲到西蒙丝博士的观点：儿童必须谈论自己的经历，并且要倾听别人谈

论自己的经历。所以在这里讲的是一种口语强化，所以应该选B“verbal”。

20、[C20]

A、permanent

B、conscious

C、subordinate

D、spiritual

标准答案：A

知识点解析：A项“pelananent”表示“永久的，持久的、B项“conscious”表示“有意

识的，故意的“；C项"subordinate”表示"次要的，附属的"；D项“spiritual”表示“精

神上的这里修饰的是“memories”，根据本段中的一些观点应该是：把短暂的。

容易被遗忘的印象转变成长期的记忆。所以应该选A-peimanenf\

A、newproductsandservices.

B、anincreaseinminoritypopulations.

C、stockingmorefoodswithethnictastes.

theartmuseumdirector.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。文章第一段第三句提到“有远见的艺术博物馆馆长会遵循计

算机图像的趋势来使展览对年轻参观者更富吸引力”，由此可知正确地运用远见的

例子是”艺术博物馆馆及”新产品和服务”只是人们可以运用远见的对象，”少数

人口的增长”是文中提到的激励杂货店运用远见的原因，”储存更多富有民族口味的

食物”并未提到结果是否合适。因此这三项都与文意不符C

22、Whichofthefollowingmayberegardedaspotentialcrises?

A、Analarmingriseinlocalhousingprices.

B、Theavailabilityofskilledworkersintheregion.

C、Thelackofskilledworkersintheregion.

D^Thepublic'schangingvaluesandpriorities.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推理题。文章第二段开头提到“远见可能会揭示那些在其成为危机前

我们可以准备好处理的潜在威励”，接着第二句提到房价的上涨可能会影响该地区

熟练工人的招聘，所以可以被看作一种潜在的危机的应是”该地区熟练工人的短映

”当地房价的一次预警性上涨”是造成危机的原因，”该地区熟练工人的可获得性

”是一种条件，而非危机，”公众正在变化的价值和优先权”是文中提到的更加复杂

的世界体系的一部分。因此这三项都与题意不符。

23、Allthefollowingarecitedasexamplesoftheimportanceofexercisingforesight

EXCEPT

A、governmentadministrators.

B、schoolofficials.

C、schoolstudentsandteachers.

D、governmentplanners.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：细节题。文章第三至五段谈到r正确运用远见的一些例子，其中包括

政府管理人员需要远见来使体系运转流畅、计划预算以及预防战争，学校官员需要

远见来评估容纳的学生数、需雇佣的教师数等等，政府机构规划人员开发出远见工

具来用于战争中，也就是选项中的其他三项都提及到了。学校师生只是作为学校官

员的工作对象有所提及，因此正确答案应为答案选项。

24According（othetext,themostimportantthingforthefuturiststograspis

A^thefutureworld.

B、thepresentworld.

C、whatishappeningnow.

D^theworldtrends.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。文章第六段开头先提到了未来学家对这个世界的认识以及对

我们的影响，接着又提到“要观察的关键东西不是事件（突然的发展或某一天发生的

事情），而是趋势（在诸如人口、土地使用、技术和政府体系之类的事物上正在进行

的长期转变）”，由此可知未来学家要把握的最重要的东西是世界的趋势，所以答案

选项符合文意。“未来世界”，”现在的世界“和“现在正在发生的事情”都与文中的意

思不符。

25、Thebesttitleforthepassagemaybe

A^TheUseofForesight.

B、HowtoExerciseForesight.

C、ForesightinBusinessandGovernment.

D、TheBest-knownTechniquesforForesight.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：主旨题。综观全文，文章总体对运用远见的重要性提出了自己的看

法，并用若干例子加以说明，所以“远见的使用“符合文意。”怎样运用远见”是一个

方法问题；”商业和政府中的远见”的范围太窄；”众所周知的远见工具”淡的是技巧

问题。因此这三项都不准确。

B、severalactionshavebeentakentostoplaxevasion

C、officialshavephonedupmanyfilm-makerstoprotest

D、moretaxreliefisneededtokeeptheindustrygoing

标准答案：B

知识点解析：这是一道简单推论题，第三段说最近这次行动是一系列行动中最近一

次，由此可见答案。

27>Accordingto(hetext,taxreliefschemeswereintendedto.

A^attractmoreinvestmentintothefilmindustry

B、ensuretheinterestsofinvestorsagainstlosses

C、checktheriseoffilmproductionexpenditures

D、preventtheinvasionofoverseasfilm-makers

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题询问当初税收减免计划的意图，第五段开头句"involvedin〔he

financingofqualifyingBritish-madefilms"强调资助英国电影行业的投资商可以享受

税收减免，由此可见该计划的真实意图。"ensuretheinterestsofinvestorsagainst

losses”不准确，并非税收计划的真正意图。

28>TheRevenue'slastresortinsolvingtheproblemseemstobe.

A、removingtaxrelief

B、protestingmoreloudly

C、warninglasttime

标准答案：D

知识点解析：这是简单推论，问税务局解决问题的最后一招大概是什么。依据第七

段第二句可知，税务局说在必要时会建议部长们立法，从而最终解决问题。

removingtaxrelief太绝对了,何况段八还说"remaincommitted(oencouraging..."

知识点解析：这是一道局部提问题。综合后几段可知，其主要是介绍与电影相关的

各方对税务部门做法的反应。

D^uuslomcisexpectInlcinciniciulianlsloinvestevenmoicheavily.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：原因细节题。地位点在文章第二段末尾一句。本句有强调类词汇

更多目前其所提供的。证明”消费者的期待超越了网络商店目前所提供的东西”，与

B、somecompanieshavetowatchtheftscoresdropsteadily.

C、E-commercecompanieswillsoonfalloutofbusiness.

D^shoppingexperienceinlocalstorescan'tbebetter.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：结果细节题。文章第三段讲到Foresee公司最近的调查结果以后，

D^polishedvideopresentationsmustbemadeinahigh-techstudio.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推理题。文章第三段首句说：网络商人和投资人10年前认为网络商

店相对便宜，因此利润也极大。说明：有些人过去认为电子商务利润丰厚。其他选

项把原文信息进行了张冠李戴式的组合，因此都是错误的。

B>onlineshoppinghasitsownadvantagesaswellasdisadvantages.

C、womenaremoreattractedtophotographsofproductsthanmenbuyers.

D、photographsoftenhelptoincreaseimmediatesalesbyatleast10percent.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：目的细节题。所有例子都是用来证明观点的，文中说的顾客买手提包

的例子所证明的内容一定不要在例子里面去寻找，任何与女人、买手提包等相关的

信息都是错的。例子前面一段的最后一句才是解题关键：使用视频销售如果与详细

的产品信息、顾客反馈和多组照片结合起来会非常有效。因此，只有答案选项符合

这个意思：视觉确认（包含video和照片）以及产品明细可以帮助提高在线销售额。

B、critical.

C、supportive.

（seamless）o证明他对采用视频持支持态度。
