21、[Cl]

A、relaxed

B、frustrated

C、amused

D、exhausted

标准答案：A

知识点解析：A项意为,,放松的”，B项意为“沮丧的”，C项意为“觉得有趣的，D

项意为“疲惫的根据上文叙述“英国人安静，害羞，保守“，所以推断“他们只会

在朋友之间才很放松”。

22、［C2］

A、yet

B、otherwise

C、even

D、so

标准答案：C

知识点解析；依据常识，"尴尬''比"紧张”更进一步，句意为“当着一个陌生人的

面，他经常显得紧张，甚至尴尬“。A、B两项表转折，D项表因果，皆不合题意。

只有C项表程度递进。

23、［C3］

A^experience

B、witness

C、watch

undergo

标准答案：B

知识点解析：A项意为“经历，体验”，B项意为“见证，亲眼目睹”，C项意为“聚精

会神地观看”，D项意为“承受”。此句的宾语为“这样的事实”，即上文提到的“英国

人非常保守害羞'’的事实。四个选项中，“亲眼目睹这样的事实”最确切，而且从下

文看，这个“事实”也是在火车车厢中看到的。

24、［C4］

A^Deliberately

B、Consequently

C、Frequently

D、Apparently

标准答案：D

知识点解析：接着上文的意思来说，以下的论述“有一种不成文，但明白易懂的行

为规范“，则是显然的。A项意为“故意的”，C项意为“经常的“，从上下文衔接上

看，明显不对。B项意为“因此，从而“，语意上可以接受，但这一副词后接的结果

通常为不好的结果，故也不能选这项。

25、［C51

A、unless

B、once

C、while

D^as

标准答案：B

知识点解析：A项意为,,除非”，B项意为,•一旦”，C项意为“当…的时候”，表示一

段时间，D项意为“像，与…一样”。根据上下文，推测句意为“一旦有人违反了这

一套规则，就会遭到批评”，只有用“一旦…，就…”，才能表现英国人对这样一套

礼仪规则的重视.once…，意为"一旦…，就…”，是固定搭配。

26、[C6]

A、suspicion

B、opposition

C、criticism

D^praise

标准答案；C

知识点解析：A项意为“怀疑”，与题意不符。B项意为“反对”，有些言过其实。D

项意为“表扬”，明显不对。参看25题答案，可知这里句意为“批评的对象”。

27、[C7]

A^emotion

B、fancy

C、likelihood

judgement

标准答案：B

知识点解析：冠词用a,首先排除元音音素开头的A项。B项意为“爱好，迷恋，

想象力”,C项意为“可能性”,D项意为“判断”。haveafancyfor意为“喜欢”，是固

定用法。

28、[C8]

A^atlength

B、toagreatextent

C、fromhisheart

D、byallmeans

标准答案：A

知识点解析：A项意为“最后；终于；充分地；详细地”，B项意为“在很大程度

上”，C项意为“从内心”，D项意为“无论如何”。依题意，“英国人特别喜欢谈论天

气”,所以，“一有机会，他就会详尽地谈下去其他短语都在句意上无法搭配。

29、（C91

A、follows

predicts

C、defies

D、supports

标准答案：A

知识点解析：A项意为“符合，遵照”，B项意为“预言”，C项意为“藐视”，D项意

为“支持”。根据题意，天气从不符合预报，所以会成为话题。

30、[CIO]

A^dedication

B、compassion

C、contemplation

D、speculation

标准答案：D

知识点解析：A项意为“奉献”。B项意为“同情”。C项意为“沉思”。D项意为“思

索，投机A、B两项显然不对。C、D两项的区别在于C项是严肃的思考，一般

是学术上的，而D项是强调一种不确定性，对无法预知的事考虑其可能性。

31、[C11]

A、Still

B、Also

C、Certainly

D、Fundamentally

标准答案：C'

知识点解析：A项意为“仍然”，B项意为“也是”，C项意为“当然”，D项意为“基本

上根据上文论述，下文英国人不相信天气预报是顺理成章的事。

32、[C12]

A、faith

B、reliance

C、honor

D^credit

标准答案：A

知识点解析：A项意为“信任，信念”，B项意为“信任，依赖”，C项意为“光荣，敬

意”,D项意为“信任，信用"。havefaithin…意为“相信…”,是固定搭配。

33、[C13]

A、if

B、once

C、when

D、whereas

标准答案：C

知识点解析：A项意为“如果”，B项意为“一旦，曾经“，C项意为“当…时候”，D

项意为“然而，可是此处意为“一个天气预报员预测第二天是个大晴天，但当大

西洋上的一片云给所有地区带来普遍降雨时，事实便证明他的预报是错误的”。这

是一种顺接，先排除D项，此处是一种对常出现的情况的客观描述，所以非假设

或条件关系，也排除A项和B项。

34、[C14]

A、propositions

B、predictions

C、approval

D、defiance

标准答案：B

知识点解析：A项意为“主张，建议”，B项意为“预言”，C项意为“赞成”，D项意

为“藐视”。上文一直在说“对天气的预言”，无论是“天气预报员”，还是“走在大街

上的人”，“做出的预言都是一样的准确或不准确”。

35、(C15)

A、about

B、on

C、in

D、to

标准答案：D

知识点解析：reference(refer)to意为“谈及”，固定用法。

36、[C16]

A、started

B、conducted

C、replaced

D、proposed

标准答案：C

知识点解析：A项意为“开始”，B项意为“指导”，C项意为“代替”，D项意为“建

议句意“英国人的见面打招呼经常被谈论天气代替

37、[C17]

A、Since

B、Although

C、However

D、Onlyif

标准答案：B

知识点解析：A项意为“因为”，引导因果从句。B项意为，虽然“，引导让步状语从

句。C项意为“尽管如此，可是"，单独使用，后接主句句意转折。D项意为“只

有，才能这个句子是一个让步状语从句。

38、[C18]

A、Evenif

B、Because

C、If

D、For

标准答案：C

知识点解析：A项意为,•即使”.B项意为••因为，C项意为,,假如，D项意为,,因

为“。依据上下文，推测句意为“如果他想和一个英国人谈天，那么…”。

39、[C19]

A、ataloss

B、atlast

C、ingroup

D^ontheoccasion

标准答案:A

知识点解析：A项意为“不知如何是好，不知该怎么办”，B项意为“最后”，C项意

为“成组”，D项意为“在这种场合”。依句意，“如果想要和一个英国人谈天，却不

知该从哪开始”。

40、[C20]

A、stimulate

B、constitute

C、furnish

D、provoke

标准答案：D

知识点解析:A项意为“刺激，激励”。B项意为“制定,建立,组成”。C项意为“供

应，提供，布置”。D项意为“惹起，骄使。依题意，“谈天气这个话题，即使在最

保守的英国人那里也能得到回答

41、Thefirstparagraphismainlyabout.

A^thedefinitionofmoneymarket

B、theconstitutionofamoneymarket

C、thebasicfunctionsofarrioneymarket

D、thegeneralfeatureofamoneymarket

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第一段的描述很明显就是货币市场的基本功能。所以选择C项。

42、Accordingto(hispassage,amoneymarket.

A、providesconvenientservicestoitscustomers

B、hasclosecontactwiththeindividualsorfirmsseekingfunds

C、maintainsaccountswithvariousretailersoffinancialservices

D^ismadeupofinstitutionswhospecializeinhandlingwholesalemonetaiy

transactions

标准答案：D

知识点解析：关丁“货币市场''的定义，可以通过第一段笫二句中的“The，money

market'.isasetofinstitutionsorarrangements…”可知，该句的意思与D项一，致。

43、WhichofthefollowingstatementsaboutamoneymarketisNOTtrueaccordingto

thispassage?

A、Moneymarketdoesnotexistin.plannedeconomies.

B、Moneymarkethasbeenestablishedinsomesocialistcountries.

C、Moneymarketencouragesopencompetitionamongbulksuppliersoffunds.

D^Moneymarketreliesuponmarketprocessestodistributefundstofinalusers.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据第一段第一句我们可以知道，货币市场也存在于计划经济中，所

以A项的表述是错误的。

44、Theauthorusestheexampleofmiddlemantoshow.

A^markettransactionsareimportantindifferentcountries

B、dealersareneededindoingbusiness

C、middlemencanplaygreatroleindifferenttransactionsanddifferentcountries

D、middlemenindifferentcountrieshavedifferentactionsinbusiness

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第三段中，对这些middleman的作用进行了阐述，从中我们可以看到

他们在不同的国家都起到了重要的作用。

45、Accordingtothispassage,.

A^brokersusuallyperformthesamekindsofservicestotheircustomers

B、brokershavelittlecontactwitheachother

C、opencompetitiontendstoresultinacommonpriceforsimilartransactionsatany

givenmoment

D、changesinthepressureofavailablesuppliesoffundsuponmarkettendstomaintain

acommonpriceforsimilartransactions

标准答案：C

知识点解析：由第二段的最后一句话，我们可以知道货币市场的一个分配特征就是

依靠资金提供方和需求方内部之间的竞争，所以可以得出C项的结论。A和B项

不符合文中的题意。D项货币市场的浮动并不只是取决于资金提供方，还有市场的

需要这一因素。

46、ThefirstgamesforthedisabledwereheldafterSirLudwingGutunann

arrivedinEngland.

A、50years

B、21years

C>9years

D^4years

标准答案：C

知识点解析：这道题的答案在第一段的第二、三句话。考生不要被文中多个年代所

迷惑，只要直接在第二段找到第一次残疾人运动会的年代与SirLudwigGuttmann

到英国的年代就可以了。

47、BesidesStrokeMandeville,surelythegamesibrthedisabledwereonceheld

in.

A、NewYork

B、London

C、Rome

D、LosAngeles

标准答案：C

知识点解析：这道题的答案在第二段的第五句话“In1960thefirstO—lympicsforthe

DisabledwereheldinRome.”很明显是选C。

48Inparagraph2,theunderlinedword"athletes"means"

A^peoplewhosupportthegames

B、peoplewhowatchihegames

C、peoplewhoorganizethegames

D、peoplewhocompeteinthegames

标准答案：D

知识点解析:这道题中,跳便考生不知道“athlete”一词是指“运动员”,也可以从上

下文中推断出来。根据本词所在句子中的“froma—bout40countriestookpart”及常

识可知，参加运动会竞赛的人应为运动员。

49、WhichofthefollowingstatementsisNOTtrue?

A^SirLudwigGuttmannisanearlyorganizerofthegamesforthedisabled.

B、SirLudwigGuttmannisaninjuredsoldier.

C、SirLudwigGuttmannisfromGermany.

D^SirLudwigGuttmanniswelcomedbytheBritish.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：这道题要求考生在通读全文的基础上对四个选项进行判断。A、C两

个选项原文中有，考生可以通过英国政府请SirLud一wingGuttmann建立伤救中心

而判断出D是正确的。选项B是文中没有的，所以是考生要选的一项。

50、Fromthepassagewemayconcludethatthewriteris.

A^oneoftheorganizersofthegamesforthedisabled

B、adisabledwhooncetookpartinthegames

C、againstholdingthegamesforthedisabled

D、infavorofholdingthegameforthedisabled

标准答案：D

知识点解析：这道题要求考生.在通读全文的基础上进行判断。A、B两项是文中从

未提到的,我们从第三段中“Onesmallsourceofdis-appointmentfbr…”这句话来看

作者的语气和态度，也可以判断出C、D两项中，D项是正确的。

51、WhatdoesMullen'sstatementinParagraph1indicate?

A^Policeisconfidentinusingthetechnology.

B、Policehasmadepreparationfortheuseofthetechnology.

C、Citizenshaverightsovermanagingthetechnology.

D、Policehasgonethroughpubliceducationprocess.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文章第一段第三句话马伦的话“Beforeweswitchediton,wewent

throughanextensivepubliceducationprocesswithhearings...这说明警察局对这项

技术非常谨慎，为监视摄像机的使用做了充分准备。因此正确答案为B。

52、Whydoesthesystemfalltoarrestawantedperson?

A^Thesystemisnoteffectiveinrecognizingpeople.

B、Thesystemdoesn'tlookatskincolororone'sgender.

C、Thesystemdoesn'tconsiderpeople'sspecificfeatures.

D、Thesystemishighlyinaccurateandcanbeeasilyfooled.

标准答案：C

知识点解析；文章第二二段讲述了面孔识别系统的运行情况，系统迄今尚未抓到一

个犯人，这是因为“Itworksbyanalyzingfacesbasedonascricsofmeasurements,

suchasthedistancefromthetipofthenosetothechinorthespacebetweentheeyes.”

这说明这个系统不考虑人的具体特征，所以抓不到通缉犯，所以正确答案为C。

53、WhatistheACLU'sattitudetothesystem?

A、Worried.

B、Skeptical.

C、Confident.

D、Indifferent.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：文章第三段最后一句话指出“Theorganizationalsofearsitcould

potentiallybeusedtomonitorindividual'spoliticalactivitiestoharasslaw—abiding

citizens.”这说明ACLU对面孔识别系统心存疑虑，所以选A。

54InJohnWhitehead'sopinion,whichstatementistrue?

A、Facerecognitiontechnologymayinterferewithpeople'sprivacy.

B、Facerecognitiontechnologymayenhancethecountry'sconstantsurveillance.

C、Facerecognitiontechnologycanbeusedinthesamewaywiretapsareused.

D、Facerecognitiontechnologycanbeusedafteritsthreathasbeenremoved.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：文章最后一段最后一句话“Afterall,thatisexactlywhatconstant

surveillanceis—theultimateimpliedthreatofcoercion.”这是约翰博士的观点,这项

技术威胁到美国每个公民参与社会的权利。所以A”会干扰人们的隐私”，是正确答

案。

55、Whatisthispassagemainlyabout?

A、Disadvantageoffacerecognitiontechnology.

B、Purposesoffacerecognitiontechnology.

C、Controversialfacerecognitiontechnology.

D、Effectoffacerecognitiontechnology.

标准答案：C」…

知识点解析：文章讲述了警察局对这项技术非常谨慎，为监视摄像机的使用做了充

分准备，但收效甚微。所以反对这项技术的人非常多。有人认为它是潜在的威胁，

有人认为会侵犯守法公民，但马伦认为这个系统最终会和其他城市，其他州和联邦

的执法部门连在一起跟踪罪犯和可疑的恐怖分子。所以说这项技术充满争议。因此

选c°
