(分数:20.00)_考研英语-424 答案解析(总分:100.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、Section Use of Eng(总题数:0,分数:0.00)二、The cellphone, a dev(总题数:20,分数:10.00)1.(分数:0.50)A.andB.inC.into D.from解析:本题的考点为与动词搭配的介词用法辨析。根据文章的内容,这句话是说“将你周围的陌生人转变成不情愿的听
21、众”,由此可知Cinto,transform.into.“将转变成”,符合文意。其他选项都与文中的动词搭配不当。2.(分数:0.50)A.actsB.actionsC.operationsD.transactions 解析:本题的考点为名词的词义及用法辨析。这里的意思是“在与办事员或银行的出纳员进行_时?,由此可推知Dtransactions“交易”,conduct transactions with.“与进行交易”,符合文意。Aacts“动作,举动”,Bactions“动作:举动”, Coperations“运转,操作”都与文章意思不符。3.(分数:0.50)A.insistB.adhere
22、 C.continueD.attach解析:本题的考点为动词的词义及用法辨析。这句话是说“因为他们拒绝其直接环境的规范”,由此可知Badhere“遵守”,adhere to(sth)“遵守(规范等)”,为固定搭配,符合文意。Ainsist“坚持”,后面一般接 on或 upon;Ccontinue“继续”,后面一般与 with连用;Dattach“连接,附带”,为及物动词。因此这三项都与文意不符。4.(分数:0.50)A.haveB.findC.receiveD.accept 解析:本题的考点为动词的词义及用法辨析。结合上文的内容,可知这里表达的意思是“听众们不会老是被动地接受这种形势”,所以D
23、accept“接受”符合文中的搭配。Ahave“有”,Bfind“找到”,Creceive“接收”都不能和 situation形成很好的搭配,所以都不正确。5.(分数:0.50)A.space B.phoneC.serviceD.facility解析:本题的考点为名词的词义及用法辨析。前文中提到“将手机放置在公共场合”,因而这里表达的意思应该是“你对公共场所的使用”,所以Aspace“场所”,the public space“公共场所”,符合文意。Bphone“电话”,Cservice“服务”,Dfacility“设施”都不符合上下文的语境。6.(分数:0.50)A.refusedB.ejec
24、ted C.rejectedD.repelled解析:本题的考点为对文章内容的理解和近义动词的词义辨析。这句话是说“近些年来,人们已经在电影院里不断受到抨击,从音乐厅中_”,从而可知由于人们没有很好地把握好使用手机的时间和方式,他们会不被任何公共场所容纳,所以Bejected“被逐出”,be ejected from.“被从中逐出”,符合文意。Arefused“被拒绝”,C rejected“被抵制”,Drepelled“被击退”均不符合题意。7.(分数:0.50)A.inB.out of C.keepingD.having解析:本题的考点为对上下文关系的理解和固定词组的用法辨析。根据上下文的
25、内容,这里表达的意思应为“与社会形势脱离接触的人们”,所以Bout of,out of contact“脱离接触”,符合文意。Ain,in contact“接触”;Ckeeping“保持”,keep contact“保持接触”;Dhaving“有”,have contact“有接触”。因此这三项都不符合文章的意思。8.(分数:0.50)A.now usingB.got usedC.in use D.to be used解析:本题的考点为固定搭配的用法辨析。文章第一句提到手机已在我们的生活中相伴了十多年,接着提到“全世界超过十亿部(手机)正在_”,由此可推知Cin use“使用中,被使用”,表示
26、一种状态,符合文意。Anow using “正在用”,不能确定所有的手机都正在使用中,所以不能用现在进行时;Bgot used“习惯于”与题意不符,Dto be used“将被使用”也与文章意思不符。因此这三项都不正确。9.(分数:0.50)A.hasB.hadC.has had D.had had解析:本题的考点为时态的辨析。根据上下文可知,这里表达的意思应是“它已经对社会空间产生了累积性的负面影响”,所以此处应该用现在完成时。因此Chas had 为此处的正确答案。其他各项都不符合文章的时态。10.(分数:0.50)A.otherB.others C.the otherD.another解
27、析:本题的考点为近义词的词义辨析。前面提到人们会有礼貌地使用手机,所以在打电话时应该会远离其他人,所以Dothers“他人”符合文意。Aother“其他的”, Cthe other“(两个中的)另一个”,Danother“又一个”都与文章意思不符。11.(分数:0.50)A.placeB.locationC.spotD.context 解析:本题的考点为对上下文的理解及名词的词义和用法辨析。这里是说社会学家 Gotfman在另外一种情况下观察到的结果,所以Dcontext“前后关系”,in another context“在另外一种情况下”,为固定用法,符合文意。Aplace“地方”,Bloc
28、ation“场所”,Cspot“地点”都与文意不符。12.(分数:0.50)A.expressedB.exposedC.discoveredD.found 解析:本题的考点为动词的词义辨析。这里是要表示一项意见调查所发现的结果,所以D符合文意。Aexpressed“表达”,Bexposed“暴露”,Cdiscovered“发现,发觉”都不能与本句的主语相搭配使用,因而都不正确。13.(分数:0.50)A.goodB.poorC.politeD.rude 解析:本题的考点为对上下文语境的理解及形容词的词义和用法辨析。前文提到人们被从音乐厅和拥挤的汽车中逐出,从而可以推断出这是由于其粗鲁地使用手机
29、的结果,所以Drude“粗鲁的”符合文意。Agood“好的”,Bpoor“恶劣的”,Cpolite“礼貌的”都不符合题意。14.(分数:0.50)A.and that B.as forC.whereasD.on the contrary解析:本题的考点为连词的用法辨析。结合上下文的意思,空格处的词是要并列连接 that“98 percent of Americans say.”和“86 percent say.”两部分,所以Aand that 符合题意和句中的结构。Bas for“至于”,Cwhereas“然而”,Don the contrary“与之相反”都不符合文中的意思和句子的结构。15
30、.(分数:0.50)A.on B.byC.viaD.from解析:本题的考点为介词的用法辨析。speak on wireless phones“用无线电话讲话”,on the telephone为固定搭配,所以A on 符合文意。Bby,Cvia,Dfrom 都不符合句中的搭配。16.(分数:0.50)A.mastersB.owners C.holdersD.inventors解析:本题的考点为名词的词义辨析。这句话是说“当被问及时,它们的说他们喜欢自己的手机”,由此可判断出Bowners“物主,所有人”符合文意。A masters“主人,雇主”,Cholders“持有者,占有者”,Dinve
31、ntors“发明者”都与题意不符。17.(分数:0.50)A.they B.whoC.thatD.which解析:本题的考点为对上下文句子结构的辨析。根据上文提到的“他们因为其安全性和方便而喜欢手机”,可以判断此处是一个定语从句,即 the safety and convenience (that)they provide,句中的 they指代的是 phones,所以A符合文意。其他选项都不符合句子的结构。18.(分数:0.50)A.carefulB.carelessC.courteous D.cautious解析:本题的考点为形容词的词义辨析。根据下文提到的“98%的美国人在公共场所使用无线
32、电话讲话时都会走开”可知,这里表达的意思是“他们会有礼貌地使用电话”,所以C为正确答案。Acareful“小心的”,Bcareless“粗心的”,Dcautious“谨慎的”均不符合题意。19.(分数:0.50)A.eitherB.neitherC.both D.all解析:本题的考点为连词的词义辨析。该句是说“手机使用者是这种谈话乞讨形式的煽动者和受害者”,由此可知Cboth,both.and.“既是又是”,符合文意。其他选项都不符合句中的搭配。20.(分数:0.50)A.limitB.gulfC.riverD.boundary 解析:本题的考点为名词的词义辨析。这句话的意思是“在我们报道的
33、手机行为和我们的实际行为之间存在_”,由此可知Bgulf“(感情,意见等的)分歧,隔阂”符合题意。Alimit“限制”,Criver“河流”,Dboundary“分界线”都与文章意思不符。三、Section Reading Co(总题数:0,分数:0.00)四、Part A(总题数:0,分数:0.00)五、Text 1(总题数:5,分数:10.00)21.What is the key to oil price in the authors opinion?(分数:2.00)A.Energy crisis.B.Dozens of varieties of crude trading.C.Sev
34、eral challenges facing the oil industry.D.The rise of resource nationalism. 解析:推理题。文章最后一段第二句末尾提到“西方主要的石油国将停止其工作来应对资源国的崛起,这将威胁到抑制对新石油储备的获取”,从而可推知作者认为石油价格的关键在于石油资源国的崛起,所以D符合文意。A“能源危机”过于笼统, B“数种原油交易”和C“石油行业面临的几种挑战”都与题目不相关。22.According to some loud chorus, the oil price in the new era will be as low as(
35、分数:2.00)A.about 10 a barrel.B.nearly 30 a barrel.C. 3040 a barrel. D. 50 a barrel.解析:细节题。文章第三段第四句提到“一些人齐声高叫,新时代的油价将保持在每桶 3040 美元”,其中 price floor为“最低价”之意。由此可知C“3040 美元一桶”符合文意。A“大约 10美元一桶”,B“接近 30美元一桶”,D“50 美元一桶”都与文意不符。23.What is the tone of the passage?(分数:2.00)A.Humorous.B.Indifferent.C.Serious. D.A
36、nxious.解析:主旨题。从全文的整体内容来看,作者是以严肃的口吻来描述石油价格的上涨给各界带来的反应的,所以C“严肃的”符合文意。A“幽默的”,B“漠不关心的”,D“忧虑的”都不适合描述作者在文中表现出的语气。24.According to the passage, “West Texas Intermediate“ (Line 4, Paragraph 4) refers to(分数:2.00)A.an oil industry.B.an oil company.C.a government organization.D.a kind of crude oil. 解析:语义题。文章第四段
37、第二句提到“当报纸报道石油价格时,他们通常指的是两种参考原油之一:来自北海的 Brent或西得克萨斯中间产品(WTI)”,从而可判断出 West Texas Intermediate 指的是一种原油,所以D项正确。A“一种石油工业”,B“一家石油公司”,C“一个政府组织”都与文意不符。25.Dave OReilly and Hugo Chavez. believe that(分数:2.00)A.prices of oil and natural gas are very high.B.prices of oil and natural gas will not go down.C.oil an
38、d natural gas will keep sustained high prices. D.the world has forgotten about cheap oil.解析:推理题。文章第二段第一句提到了 Dave的论述“我们能够依赖廉价石油甚至更廉价的天然气的时代明显地要结束了”,最后一句提到了 Hugo的论述“世界应该忘记廉价石油”,从而可推知石油和天然气会保持很高的价格,所以C为正确答案。 A“石油和天然气的价格很高”为事实情况,B“石油和天然气的价格不会下降”太过绝对,D“世界已经忘记了廉价的石油”不是这两个人 believe的内容,所以这三项都不正确。六、Text 2(总题
39、数:5,分数:10.00)26.What is Geoff Regan, the federal fisheries minister, most probably going to do?(分数:2.00)A.He is going to respond to two previous reports.B.He is going to propose a new quota system for fishing licences.C.He is going to consult natives, commercial and sport fishermen.D.He is going to
40、keep a balance between conservation, enforcement and fisheries. 解析:推理题。文章最后一段最后两句提到“Regan 先生说其部门将用今年的时间咨询赌金保管者(本地人、商人和消遣性钓鱼者)。该部门还将进行改善对渔场的保护、实施及第一民族准人的试点项目”,从而可推知D“他将使渔业保护、法令实施和捕鱼几方面保持平衡”符合文意。A“他将对两份先前的报告作出回答”,B“他将提议一个新的钓鱼许可证配额体系”和C“他将咨询本地人、商人和消遣性钓鱼者”都不是 Regan最可能要做的事情。27.How many salmon were there
41、every spring in British Columbias rivers four years earlier?(分数:2.00)A.1.3 million.B.About 524,000.C.About 1,824,000.D.Above 2,000,000. 解析:推理题。文章第二段第一句中提到“2004 年只有大约 524,000 条鲑鱼回来产卵,仅为四年前的四分之一”,由此可推知四年前的数量应为 524,000 的 4倍,所以D“200 万条以上”为正确答案。A“130万条”是 2004年失踪的数量,B“大约 524,000 条”是 2004年的总数,C“大约 1,824,00
42、0条”未在文章中提到相关的内容,所以这三项都不正确。28.The “explosive conflict“ in the first paragraph refers to(分数:2.00)A.salmons return to British Columbias rivers to spawn.B.the fisheries committee of Canadas House of Commons and Bryan Williams.C.the struggle between sockeye salmon and human beings.D.the collision between
43、 salmons survival and human fishery. 解析:细节题。文章第一段最后一句提到“他们的结论指向鲑鱼的生存和第一民族的权利之间的一种政治性的强烈冲突”,也就是说,“强烈的冲突”指的是鲑鱼的生存和人类的捕捞之间的冲突,所以D符合文意。A“鲑鱼返回英国哥伦比亚的河流产卵”,B“加拿大众议院的渔业委员会和 Bryan Williams”,C“红大马哈鱼和人类之间的竞争”都与文章意思不符。29.What does “First Nations“ refer to?(分数:2.00)A.Canadian Indians. B.American Indians.C.Nativ
44、es of the Fraser.D.People who inhabiting the Fraser.解析:语义题。文章第一段最后一句中提到“第一民族即加拿大人称之为印第安人的权利”,由此可以判断出 First Nations指的就是印第安人,所以A“加拿大的印第安人”正确。B“美国的印第安人”,C“Fraser的本地人”和D“居住在 Fraser的人”都与文意不符。30.Which of the following is NOT the reason for the decrease of salmon according to Mr. Williams?(分数:2.00)A.High w
45、ater temperatures.B.Shocking twist. C.Illegal fishing.D.Officials failings.解析:细节题。文章第二、三段提到水温高、非法捕鱼和官员执法不力都是鲑鱼数量减少的原因,即题目中的A、C、D三项。只有B“骇人听闻的歪曲”不是文中提到的原因之一。七、Text 3(总题数:5,分数:10.00)31.What is the main cause of the issues in Asia according to the author?(分数:2.00)A.Trade and historical disputes.B.The ap
46、preciation of the yuan.C.Japans refusal of apology for its wartime atrocities.D.The rise of China. 解析:推理题。文章最后一句提到“因为在所有这些嘈杂之后存在着一个巨大的事实:是中国的崛起而不是日本的地位和行为造成了亚洲棘手的问题”,由此可推知作者认为D“中国的崛起”是亚洲问题的主要原因。A“贸易和历史争端”,D“人民币的升值”和C“日本拒绝为其战时暴行道歉”都不是文中提及的主要原因。32.What does the word “think-tanks“ (Line 5, Paragraph 2) mean?(分数:2.00)A.Tanks that can think as human beings.B.An institute or group providing solutions for some problems. C.A group of authoritative people.D.
