27、are two of them. All Autopen autographs are 9 , but no two handwritten autographs are 10 alike.（分数：25.00）A.neglectB.arrangeC.readD.collect 解析：解析 本题的答案在上下文的第一句话中已经给出了参考“The hobby of collecting autographs (亲笔签名) is called philography”。所以本题的答案为 D。其他选项不符合语境的要求。A.storiesB.events C.actionsD.plans解析：解析 首先要
28、明确四个选项的不同意思，“events”意思为“事件”，具体例子包括“the signing of the Declaration of Independence，a presidential election，or the space program(签署独立宣言，总统选举，或宇航项目)”。其他选项的意思不符合本句的语境。A.Some B.AnyC.NoD.Several解析：解析 应该可以判断出，此处需要一个肯定的意思。由于 B和 C项含有否定意义，所以错误。而D项“几个”概念与事实出入较大；相对而言，A 项“一些”更适合本句的实际意思。A.from B.inC.forD.to解析：解析
29、从词义和用法可以确定。“autographs from celebrities”意思为“名人签字”。其他选项意思和用法不符合此句。A.whatB.howC.whether D.where解析：解析 “determine whether an autograph is genuine”意思为“确定一个签字是否是真品”。从意思和用法上其他选项不符合语境。A.falseB.indirectC.openD.genuine 解析：解析 “They may mistake other kinds of signatures for genuine handwritten signatures.”意思为“他
30、们也许会将其他种类的签字看成是真迹签名”。上下文的句子也支 持这个概念。其他选项在意思和用法上与语境不符。A.copyB.request C.writeD.mail解析：解析 “For example, some people have secretaries who sigh their mail. Some individuals send out mass-produced letters or signed photographs to collectors who request their autographs.”这两个句子为并列关系，后面的句子大意为“一些人为请求他们签名的人寄批
31、量印刷的信件或签名相片”。其他选项的意思在这个句子中讲不通。A.actorB.machine C.collectorD.secretary解析：解析 此处的选项应体现上句话中“mechanical device/Autopen(机械装置，自动签字 笔)”的含义。只有 B项“machine(机器)”符合句子的语境。A.genuineB.falseC.differentD.identical 解析：解析 注意本句话结构中连词“but”的作用，它体现一种对比关系。也就是说，正确选 项应该是后面“alike”一词的同义词。“identical”意思为“一模一样”，最能体现句子的实际意义。其他选项的意思
32、或用法都与语境不符。A.fluentlyB.initiallyC.exactly D.conveniently解析：解析 “identical”=“exactly alike(完全一样)”。Double Income and No Kids (DINK) becomes fashionable in China.

33、s shattered the Chinese traditional idea of the family and 12 typical.

35、bligation of raising children. 17 , most people still believe it is necessary to bear a child to keep the family line on.

They are installing modern ideas into traditional families and society. In the modernization process, personal choices will be highly res
37、pected.（分数：25.00）A.stable B.availableC.achievableD.liable解析：解析 本题的关键是需要理解上下文中“and”一词所体现的并列关系，也要清楚“career”一词的正确修饰词。“stable careers”意思为“稳定的工作”。和上文“higher educations”为并列关系。其他选项意思有误或用法不正确。A.had becomeB.may becomeC.becameD.becomes 解析：解析 本题是时态判断题。应该看到前半句话为现在完成时态，后半句话要与其相对应。只有 D项的一般现在时态可以与其对应。其他选项的时态都不符合与现
38、在完成时所 对应的要求，所以错误。A.directedB.inducedC.indicated D.dictated解析：解析 注意本句话的主语是“调研(survey)”，动词应与主语相搭配，也就是“调研结果显示”。“indicate=show(显示、表明)”，只有 C项的意思正确，其他选项意思有误，不符合上下文的要求。A.no B.notC.hardlyD.scarcely解析：解析 这是一个基本语法概念题。“no=not any”，所以 B项没有“any”一词不正确。C 和 D项都是副词，应该用在动词“have”之前，所以由于位置不对都是错误选择。A.elegantB.abundantC.
39、similarD.various 解析：解析 本题主要看上下文的信息。由于后面的三个句子都是“some”，从而可以判断前面修饰名词的形容词只能是“various(不同的)”。其他意思都不符合语境。A.tensionB.attentionC.intention D.interaction解析：解析 本题的关键是要理解全句的意思，然后找到最佳的符合语境意思的选项。“tension”=“紧张”；“attention”=“注意”；“intention”=“愿望、想法”；“interaction”=“交际”。A.MoreoverB.However C.AccordingD.Generally解析：解析
40、应该判断出，前一段和本段内容正相反，所以应该用转折连词“However”，意思为“但是”。“Moreover”引起并列关系，意思为“此外”；C 和 D项不是连词，由于后面有逗号(标点符号的要求)，它们不能够用在此处。A.most B.moreC.latestD.less解析：解析 本题的语法点是形容词最高级的用法。两种事物相比较应该使用比较级，而本句话是“三个方面(three aspects)”中“最严重的问题”。此外，定冠词“the”也是用于形容词最高级的一个语法规则。A.intoB.toC.atD.from 解析：解析 “suffer.from.”是一个固定搭配词组，应该熟记。其他选项不符
41、合此处搭配要求。A.wantedB.should wantC.want D.had wanted解析：解析 本题的考点有两个：一需要判断句子前后时态的对应，由于讲的内容为现在的情况，需要用现在时态，所以 A和 D项时态不正确；二本句话中的“suggest”一词意思为“表明”，不是“建议”的意思，所以不是虚拟语气表达法，因此 B项也错误。Recruiting (招募) the right candidate to fill a vacancy can be a difficult and costly task. 21 the wrong person could be an expensive

45、ally depends on the vacancy. Companies advertise blue-collar or clerical jobs in local newspapers and senior management 28 in national papers or professional journals, 29 the Internet is one of the best ways of advertising IT vacancies or recruiting abroad. However, with the Internet there is a risk
46、 30 receiving unsuitable applications from all over the world.（分数：25.00）A.FindingB.Appointing C.PlacingD.Searching解析：解析 本题的关键是理解上下文的信息。此处应该强调“雇佣”一个不适当的人所造成的问题。B项“appointing”是“任命”的意思，最符合上下文的意思。其他选项要么没有“雇佣”的含义，要么搭配不正确。A.fireB.applyC.employ D.dismiss解析：解析 本题上下文的线索非常明显，连词“than”前后的不定式短语“to get rid of(解雇)
47、”与“to employ(雇佣)”相互对应，最符合上下文的概念。A 和 D项是同义词，都是“解雇”的意思，两者可以互换使用，不可能是正确答案。B 项的“apply”应与介词“for”搭配使用，意思为“申请”。A.whereB.ifC.whichD.whether 解析：解析 本题的考点是英语习惯搭配。应该看出，只有“whether”可以与“or”搭配，组成一个句型。D 项也符合上下文中“内部招聘”和“外部招聘”的对比关系。其他选项不符合本句的习惯用法搭配。A.Internal B.ExternalC.AdditionalD.Terminal解析：解析 上下文中重点强调的是选择“内部招聘”还是“
48、外部招聘”方式。本句话中所述内容都与“内部招聘”有关系。所以应该选择 A。其他选项意思或用法有误。A.BesidesB.WhereasC.WhileD.However 解析：解析 应该看出，本句话与上句话是对比关系，上面讲“内部招聘”的优点，而本句讲它的缺点：“他们在职位上很难会有新的思想和见解。”两个句子意思正相反，应该用转折连词“however”，后面用逗号与句子隔开。其他选项意思或用法有误。A.useB.to useC.usedD.using 解析：解析 本题是语法考点，应该看出，本句的句型是“either.or.”结构，体现两者之间的并列关系，“either.or.”后面的词性应该保持
49、一致。所以，应该选“using”来对应前面的“advertising”。其他选项用法有误。A.advertisement B.jobC.agencyD.company解析：解析 本题的考点是固定搭配词组，“place the advertisement”意思为“刊登广告”。在这里，其他选项中的名词不能够与前面的动词“place”搭配，做其宾语。A.placeB.positions C.roomsD.seats解析：解析 注意本句中连词“and”的用法，其前面是“blue-collar or clerical jobs in local newspapers(蓝领或职员类工作在本地报纸上做广告)”，与后面的“senior management positions in national papers or professional journals(高级经理职位在国家级报纸或专业期刊上做广告)”为对应关系。其他选项意思有误。A.while B.asC.whenD.once解析：解析 本题是语法题。本句话应该与前面的句子为对比关系，只能用连词“while”连接后面的句子，意思为“而招聘 IT业职位和国外招聘最好的方
