41. 【参考译文】正当联谊会已在为俱乐部下一季度计划进行讨论时,有人提出了一些有用的建议。【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析题,应注意它们在上下文中的意义和区别。【详细解答】discuss意思是“讨论” (talk about something with somebody from several points of view, with varying opinions offered constructively, usually amicably, so as to settle an issue)含有对各种意见都加以考虑的意思。其余三个词argue(争辨,争论),quarrel(争吵)和dispute(辨论,争吵)都含有in defence of one’s own opinions and opposition to those of others(维护自己的意见反对别人的意见),因此就很难提出useful ideas了。故B为正确答案。
42. 【参考译文】既然现在已不能改变我的主意,那就由我来实施这项计划吧。【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析题。这几个词若用于此句,虽无语法上的正误关系,但在逻辑上有比较大的区别。【详细解答】A) oblige常和be obliged to连用,后接动词不定式,而不是-ing形式的分词。当be obliged to后接名词或-ing分词时,表示“感激…”。因此不能选A项。B) committed, to be committed意思是“把…交托给”,“提交”。 D) engage(in)使从事于;C) resolve决心,决定。根据题意,只有to be committed才符合本题的要求,故为正确答案。
43. 【参考译文】大多数优秀作家都能利用一切手段使自己作品易懂。【试题分析】本题为一般词汇的理解与搭配题。【详细解答】A) disposal处理,处置;B) request要求;C) will意愿;D) convenience方便。根据题意,应选A。
44. 【参考译文】我们没有时间阅读整个小说,因此老师就给我们准备了一个大纲。【试题分析】本题为形近词辨析题。【词义辨析】synopsis意思是“大纲”,如教学大纲,小说电影等的主要情节。synthesis 合成;symposium 诸家论文集,研讨会等。symmetry 对称。B、C和D都不符合本题题义。A为正确答案。
45. 【参考译文】她丈夫把她的生日给忘了,她感到很失望。【试题分析】本题为形近词辨析题。【详细解答】deceive 是“欺骗”的意思。这里,她丈夫忘记了她的生日并非故意,谈不上是“欺骗”。至于desert (遗弃)和desperate (绝望)则更不能成立,因为她不会因为丈夫忘记了一次生日而有“遗弃”和“绝望”的感觉;在很大程度上只是感到有些失望罢了。故D为该题正确答案。
46. 【参考译文】除了自己的孩子以外,他还收养三个孤儿,所以他现在要养活九个孩子。【试题分析】本题为同义词辩异题。【详细解答】besides(=in addition to)“除了……还有”;except “除……以外”(not including )。它们之间的区别在于,一个是要“加”,一个是要“减”。因此besides his own children 意思是“除了他自己的孩子以外还有(收养的孤儿)”。而except his own children:除了他自己的孩子(即:不把自己的孩子算在内)的意思。beside 意思是“在……旁边,在……附近”;它和besides 是形近词,意思完全不同。instead of (=in place of ) 意思是“代替”,和以上三个词没有意义上的联系。故A为正确答案。
47. 【参考译文】他在用各种滑石料铺一条花园小路。【试题分析】该题考查对近义词的辨析能力。【详细解答】path 是“窄路,小路”的意思,侧重人或动物由于经常或习惯地行走而形成的路,或者是为了一个特定的目的而特地筑成的路。本题中的“路”是人为地、为了某一特定目的而筑成的路;故C为本题最佳选择。way的含义比较笼统,一般指为了到达指定的地点而必须经过的地方。 track是指车辆、行人或动物踏成的路,而path 则是用石块或卵石筑成的路。alley可以指公园里的‘小径”(path in a garden),但不是该词的主要意思,而且不如 path常用。
48. 【参考译文】把海水转换成饮用水是个复杂的问题。【试题分析】本题为形近词(前缀con-结构)的辨析题。【详细解答】conversion 转变;conjecture 猜测;concession 让步;contraction 缩短,如果有一定的词汇量,就不难找出答案,故A为正确答案。
49. 【参考译文】他们想知道对这些条款是否达成了协议。【试题分析】本题为同义词搭配辨析题。【详细解答】agree on 赞同。表示经双方协商而同意的事情,如谈判条件,开会日期,商品价格等用agree on (或 upon );单方面说“与某人意见一致”时用 agree with;宾语是“建议”、“计划”、“安排”等名词时常用agree to .
50. 【参考译文】众所周知,我国的退休工人有权享受公费医疗。【试题分析】本题为词组意义辨析。【详细解答】be entitled to 有权做某事(= be given the right );它是由主动结构entitle sb. to (do) sth.(给某人以 … 的权利)变来的短语。又如:You are entitled to a free seat at the concert.你有权享受一张免费座位听音乐会。be involved in 卷入,受牵连,聚精会神地干,例如:He was involved in murder .他被卷入这起谋杀案。be associated with 与… 与有联系(= be connected with);be assigned to 委派,指定;例如:He has been assigned to a new post .他被派到了新的工作岗位。根据上面的解释和例句,A项最符合此句意思。
51. 【参考译文】农民比城里人更盼望雨水,因为雨水对他们的利害关系更大。【试题分析】本题为介词语辨析。【详细解答】danger不与at 搭配,常用作in danger(处于危险中),at loss搭配错误,应说at a loss ,意思是“不知所措”。threat(威胁,凶兆)不与at 搭配。本题单从搭配上的辨析便可判定B正确。at stake在危险中,存亡攸关。此句取其“利害攸关”之意。
52. 【参考译文】虽然我已经告诉他们不要让我们久等,但他们并没有做出努力,加快交货的速度。【试题分析】本题为词义辨析题。【详细解答】attempt 企图,试图(指作出努力)。A)trial试验,考验,审判;C)action行为,动作;D)progress进步。该题也可用try 或 effort。
53. 【参考译文】在说别人的坏话之前也要考虑自己的毛病。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题,考查对语义的理解和运用的能力。【详细解答】run down 说别人的坏话。A)run over (车辆等)辗过;溢出。C)run after 追捕;跟踪。D)run into 偶然碰见。run 和不同的介词或副词构成不同的短语或习惯用法,含有不同的意义。英语中有许多这样的动词短语,注意它们的习惯用法。
54. 【参考译文】用完这些工具之后,希望你最好把它们收起来。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题,主要考查动词与副词或介词的搭配及用法。【详细解答】put away 收起来。A) put apart 分开;e . g . In former times, people suffering an infectious disease were put apart until they were better. C) put forward 意思是move ( sth. ) into a position further in front 把(某物)移往靠前一点;e . g . Why don’t you put your chair forward and have a better view? D)put down放下;记录下来;写下来。根据本题意思,B)put… away 为正确答案。
55. 【参考译文】安德森一家还没到,我现在怀疑他们是否会到。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题。主要考查搭配及用法。【详细解答】turned up ( = to arrive or be found, often unexpectedly) 到达或被发现,往往带有偶然性。B)turn in 转身进入;拐入;B)和C)都不是本题要求,不能入选。D)come in 进入(某一个地方);走进去。人在现场才能进入房间或某一地方;如果人不在现场就不存在进不进来的问题。
56. 【参考译文】我们必须非常准确地在同一时间出发,所以我们对了对手表。【试题分析】本题为词尾形近词用法辨析题。A项为陪衬选择,其它词结尾近似。【详细解答】synchronized (使)在时间上一致。A) transfix 刺穿;B)stabilize使安全;使巩固;C)temporize姑息,妥协。
57. 【参考译文】政府号召人民要节约用燃油。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题,主要考查短语的固定搭配和习惯用法。【详细解答】call on意思是“号召”;call in意思是“收回”;call off意思是“决定取消”; call up意思是“打电话给…”。故选 C。
58. 【参考译文】宾馆建造得过多,加速了住宿价格的下降,使得度假更加经济。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题。【详细解答】forced down加速下降。B)slow使慢下来;使(市场等)变得呆滞;可以说slow up(down)a motor-car(放慢汽车速度),但不能说slow down prices; C)cut down 削弱;缩短;可以说cut down expenses(削减开支),但不能说cut down prices. e.g. That with increased taxation and rising prices, I’m going to have to cut down on quite a lot of things—clothes, records and so on. D)reduce减少,降低(速度,成本等);reduce在用作减少开支的意义时可和cut down,互换,如reduce expenses可以换成cut down expenses。
59. 【参考译文】罗妮的脚步声消失了,接下来是一阵死一般的寂静。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题,考查die短语的含义和用法。【详细解答】die away(=become weaker or fainter until it ceases)(声音、风、光等)变弱、变小、直到消失。A)die down 平息;熄灭; 静下来;C)die off 一个个死掉;绝种;枯死:e.g. The species is dying off.(这个物种正濒临灭绝。)D)die out 熄灭;绝种;不复存在。在作“绝种”用时和die off 意义相同。e.g. This bird is dying out。(这种鸟快要绝种了。)根据题意,选B比较合适,其它均不可取。
60. 【参考译文】如此自私的人很难让人同情。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题,也即为短语辩析题。【详细解答】feel for对(某人)感到同情;同情(某人)。A)feel like想(做某事);愿意。e.g. I’m tired. I feel like going to bed.(我累了,想睡觉。)B)feel out 试探;摸清(某人的想法)。D)feel towards感觉;e.g. How do you feel towards the new teacher?(你对新来的老师感觉怎么样?)根据题意,选C最合适。
61. 【参考译文】如果你不能在一星期内把商品退给商店的话,你就会失去退款的机会。【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题。【详细解答】forfeit丧失(权利、名誉、生命等);(作为惩罚被没收或被剥夺而)失去。A)take a (the) chance 的意思是碰碰运气,冒风险(也许会…)。e.g. Let’s take the chance and buy these goods.(让我们冒冒风险,就买这些货物吧。) C) stand a (good, fair) chance很可能(成功)。 e.g. He doesn’t stand a chance of being elected.(他没有希望当选。)D)get the chance得到机会;有机会。C)和D)均不符合题意,不能入选。
62. 【参考译文】这位机械工专门从事汽车修理。【试题分析】本题为形近词辨析题,四个选项虽都有前缀ex-,但含义却大相径庭。【详细解答】A)excessively过多地,过分地,极度地;B)experimentally实验性地;C)exceedingly非常地,超越地,极度地;D)exclusively专门地,唯一地。
63. 【参考译文】来自不同文化背景的人们应互相了解,相互信任,这一点很重要,只有人们互相信任,合作才有可能。【试题分析】本题测试难词辨析,要求考生对其掌握区别。【详细解答】mutual相互的。A)confidential信任的;B)integral完整的;D) rational理智的。很显然,只有C)符合题意。
64. 【参考译文】汤姆想当一名律师,因为他觉得律师是个有名望体面的职业,而且他一直想占据高位。【试题分析】本题为形近词辨析题。这四个词都为形容词,且词尾都含有后缀-ous ,但也是难词辨析题。【详细解答】prestigious有声望的,A) homogeneous同性质的;C)jealous妒忌的;D)spontaneous自发的,自动的。所以只有B与题意相符。
65. 【参考译文】1929年股市暴跌,标志着经济大萧条的开始。【试题分析】本题为考查对关键词语义的理解,当然,本题也是词语辨析。【详细解答】collapse暴跌。A)rise上升;C)rebirth重出;D)debt负债,很显然,只有B符合题意。
66. 【参考译文】价格继续上涨,而工资仍然很低,结果政府变得越来越不得人心。【试题分析】此题考查考生对引导状语从句连接词的理解。【详细解答】with the result that 从而,因此(用来引导一个结果状语从句)。A)even though (if)即使,纵然(用来引导一个让步状语从句)。D)because因为(引导一个原因状语从句)。从这几个词组和单词的用途来分析,C)with the result that 引导的结果状语从句,符合本题的因果关系;物价上涨和政府不受欢迎的因果关系,所以C)为正确答案,其它各项均不适用。
67. 【参考译文】得克萨斯占美国广大国土的十二分之一。【试题分析】此题为词义辨析题。【详细解答】constitute组成;构成。A)govern统治(国家等);治理(城市、国家等)。B)demand要求;需要;需求。D)produce生产;提出。C)为正确答案。
68. 【参考译文】这些印第安人看不到成功的前景,变得很沮丧,因为他们就读的学校比较差,而且也不适应城市生活。【试题分析】此题为词义辨析题,根据题意进行判断。【详细解答】prospect前景,前程;前途。A)instinct本能;生性。B)proposition主张;建议。C)priority优先权,重点。从本题题意不难看出,只有D才符合要求。
69. 【参考译文】飞行中后货仓门被撕开后,飞机严重受损。【试题分析】此题为词义辨析题,又是近义词辨析题。注意B、C两词的区别。【详细解答】pull off拖出;撕开;扯破。A)jam 拥塞。B)open打开;展开;发展。D)crumple up弄皱;起皱;扭弯。注意pull off和open之间的区别。open的打开,可能有人为的因素或自然的因素,但不是破坏性的打开,不构成危险。但pulled off 的意思是撕开,扯破。所以B)不适合用于本句,不能入选。
70. 【参考译文】孩子的宴会过后,她得花两个钟头收拾起居室。【试题分析】此题为近义词辨析题,需根据题意进行选择。【详细解答】tiding up (put…in proper order ; make…neat and tidy(整理,拾掇);A)order 在做动词时意思是“安排”,与arrange可以互换。e.g. order (arrange) sth. properly(把事情安排好)。B)arrange安排;布置,含有按照一定规划或计划进行布置的意思。D)clear away清除,收起来,拿走,含有remove or take away 的意思。当我们说“收拾房间”,可以说tidy up the room, 不能说clear away the room. clear away含有“清除掉”的意思。所以本题答案为C。
