27、短语知识。根据句意“(大学)录取官员们依靠指导咨询人员帮他们找到有希望的候选人”，可知答案为 B“依靠”。A“号召”，c“尝试”，D“坚持”。4.（分数：0.50）A.acquaintancesB.executivesC.tutorsD.advisers 解析：本题难度很大，考查词汇知识和上下文的连贯理解能力。根据句意但贫穷的乡村学校很少与这类咨询专家有联系，没有他们，录取就似掷双骰予游戏一样了(赌运气)，卡耐基隆的斯太德尔说”，选项 D“咨询人员顾问”符合句意，为正确答案。A“熟人”，B“行政人员”，C“导师”都不够准确，排除。5.（分数：0.50）A.gutsB.groundsC.grad
28、es D.guarantees解析：本题考查词汇知识和对文章的理解能力。文章说“即便贫困的乡村地区的孩子分数够到了顶尖学校的要求，他所在的中学也不知怎样让他人学”，可知 C“成绩，分数”为正确答案。A“勇气”，B“依据”，D“保证”。6.（分数：0.50）A.vital B.smartC.interactiveD.functional解析：本题显示考生在一词多义方面的知识欠缺。根据句意(见上题题解)，空格应该是“充满生机的，活跃的”，显然 答案为 A，?尽管它还有“重要的”的意思。B“聪明的”，C“互动的”，D“功能的，实用的”，均不符句意。7.（分数：0.50）A.do B.areC.wil
29、lD.be解析：本题难度较大，考查考生的语法知识，空格部分是省略结构，用哪个助动词关键看逗号前的对应动词，由于对应动词是“get”，用了一般现在时态，所以代替它的应该是 do，因此选 A。一些考生选择其它选项可能是对本句的句法理解出现偏差所致。8.（分数：0.50）A.mainlyB.roughly C.totallyD.exactly解析：本题考查词汇知识。根据空格前后的意思，答案为 B“大约”，选错的考生可能对该词的意思不太了解。9.（分数：0.50）A.requireB.ensureC.locateD.generate 解析：本题难度很大，考查考生的词汇能力和上下文的理解能力。根据句意，
30、“不幸的是，我们总是去那些能够找到大量潜在生源的地方，Tulane 大学的招生办主任 Richard Whiteside说，他就曾大力并亲自去大都市招生”，D“产生，造出”为正确答案，这里是该词的引申使用。B4f 保证，担保”，C“确定位置”均不符语义，排除。10.（分数：0.50）A.claim B.affirmC.insistD.declare解析：本题考杳考生的词汇知识及上下文的理解能力。根据句意，答案应为 A“宣称，声称”，该词往往意味着实际情况不是这样，这正好与下文语义吻合。选项 B“断言”，C“坚持”，D“宣布”均与下文实际语义不吻合，排除。11.（分数：0.50）A.prefer
31、ence B.prejudiceC.prepositionD.preclusion解析：本题考查的重点是上下文的连贯理解能力。由于句中出现了 also一词，说明本句与上句并列，上文对应部分说，“家长是校友的孩子以及运动员和富裕家庭的孩子，都得到了特殊关照”，这意味着本句一定是说，“(向来)被关心不够的少数民族家庭的孩子也得到了特殊关照”，与“特殊关照”近似的表达式是 A“偏爱：优待”。选项 B“偏见”，C“介词”，D“妨碍，阻止”，均不符句意，排除。12.（分数：0.50）A.accessB.basisC.key D.solution解析：虽然几个选项都能与介词 to搭配，但根据句意“许多学校
32、说，多样化种族、经济、地城诸方面是保持校园思维活跃的关键所在”，答案显然为 C“关键”，A“接近，进入”，B“基础”，D“解决方法”。13.（分数：0.50）A.excellentB.wealthyC.popularD.competitive 解析：本题主要考查考生的词汇辨析能力和上下文的理解能力。根据上文可知，本文主要说明“精英学校”在招生方面的问题，所以空格要填入跟“精英学校”意思贴近的词汇，D“竞争激烈的”应为答案。选项A“优秀的”不如 D贴近文意，毕竟文章是说竞争入学问题，B“富裕的”，C“受人欢迎的”同样与上文语义不贴近。14.（分数：0.50）A.promisesB.triesC.
33、works D.manages解析：本题主要考查上下句的连贯理解能力。文章开头部分说，“在理想状况下，美国的精英学校应该招收最优质的学生，但实际情况并不是这样运作的。”显然，答案为 C“运作”。选项 A不能与空格前面的how搭配，得改为 what才行。15.（分数：0.50）A.admitsB.acceptsC.recallsD.recruits 解析：本题考查词汇知识。根据句意(他就曾大力并亲自去大都市招生)可知答案为 D“招募”，不及物动词。A“承认；招生”是及物动词，必须后接宾语，而原文空格后无宾语，故排除。16.（分数：0.50）A.affluent B.affiliatedC.alt
34、ernativeD.advanced解析：本题考查词汇知识及上下文的连贯理解能力。由于本部分是将富裕地区、乡村地区及贫困乡村地区的中学进行比较，所以选项中的最佳选择是 A“富裕的”，符合上下文语义的要求。B“附属的”，C“替换的”，D“先进的”。17.（分数：0.50）A.innovationsB.judgmentsC.relationships D.suggestions解析：本题涉及上下文的理解。本段主要说明中学生进名牌大学需要一个中介环节咨询专家，他能帮助大学找到优等生，帮助中学生进人合适的名牌大学。本句说，“富裕地区的中学，指导咨询人员与学生和(大学)录取官员们都有关系”，所以符合句意
35、的为 C“关系”。18.（分数：0.50）A.bronzeB.broomC.browserD.brochure 解析：根据句意，“乡村地区的孩子只有一份邮寄过来的精美手册”，可知答案为 D“手册，小册子”。选项 A“青铜，铜牌”，B“扫帚”，C“浏览器”均为大纲词汇，但不符句意。19.（分数：0.50）A.AndB.But C.SoD.Then解析：本题主要考查上下文的连贯理解能力。上文主要说了学校的种种积极表现，而空格下文却说到了不好的一面(，而只有 5%的学生来自于那些年收入约为或低于 35，000 美元的家庭)，语义为转折关系，故答案为 B。20.（分数：0.50）A.strictlyB
36、.mostly C.generallyD.honestly解析：本题考查词汇知识，根据句意(三十年的积极行动已经改变了几乎全是白入的学校的特点)，答案为B“几乎全部；一般来说”。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.The “reconfiguration plan(Par（分数：2.00）A.4) probably refers toa. selling the Church property.B. covering the cost of settlement
37、s.C. shutting and remolding churches.D. keeping up crumbling buildings.解析：这是一道词义题。“改造计划”前有定冠词 the，回指上文，说明所谓的计划上文提到过。根据上文内容，尤其是将来时所在句“and this year will。”(将来时态与题干中 plan一词呼应)的内容，可以确定答案为 C。其它选项是已做过的事情，不可能是 plan一词的内容。22.Which of the following reflects the change of Catholic Church?（分数：2.00）A.Fewer praye
38、rs in the church. B.Fewer pews in the parish.C.Fewer Catholics in America.D.Fewer signs in the peace of Go解析：这是一道细节题。依据第一段可以确定，数千万的天主教徒中，越来越少的人去教堂长椅上祈祷了，显然答案为 A。C“国的天主教徒少丁”，文章中未提，选择该选项的考生没能完全理解相关部分的文义。23.Attendance of the Church has declined because（分数：2.00）A.there are fewer parishes and priests now
39、.B.few Catholics observe religious rules.C.people are losing enthusiasm for religion. D.the financial pressures are overwhelmin解析：这是一道细节题。问去教堂人数下降的原因，题干中的关键词“attendance”将答案锁定在第三段中所列的第三个因素(参看译文)，故答案为 c。B“很少有天主教徒遵守宗教规范”，与原文不符。24.Noreen Welte seems to suggest that some people（分数：2.00）A.had difficulty a
40、dopting a new parish.B.preferred to go to the church near their home.C.disliked the church for several reasons.D.meant to escape the churc 解析：本题询问 Welte所持看法。根据文章末段 Welte所言可知(尤其是 gave some people.a chance to say.;gave some people.an excuse to stop.)有此人以城区整合作为自己不想去教堂的借口，可见答案为 D(有些人想躲避去教堂)。选项 A、B 均是某些人
41、不去教堂的托词，非 Welte的看法，答非所问。25.The relationship between the first two paragraphs can be described as（分数：2.00）A.the Catholic Church of the past compared with that of today.B.the problem with the Catholic Church revealed and explained. C.the reform of the Catholic Church argued for and against.D.the pract
42、ice of the Catholic Church introduced and condemne解析：本题涉及段落之间的语义逻辑。文章第一段揭示天主教所面临的问题，第二段试图对此进行解释，所以答案为 B。A“过去的天主教与今天的天主教进行比较”；c“天主教的改革之赞同和反对”；D“介绍并谴责天主教的行为”，均不符文义，排除。六、Text 2(总题数：5，分数：10.00)26.By “the pendulum is swinging too far“, Ian Perry probably means（分数：2.00）A.the number of houses sold by each
43、agent is the lowest in history.B.the house market is bound to suffer because of the high interest rates.C.both Mr. King and the media worried too much over the price falls.D.the Bank and the media are helping push the house prices further down. 解析：这是一道句意题。根据引号句的上文，即五、六段可知，Ian 指责 Mervyn King的不当言论以及媒体
44、误导性的报道只会导致房价进一步下滑，下文第八段更是指出，银行货币委员会上周的行情预测又出笼了，这必然对房市不利，这正是段七所谓的“我们现在的担心”，故答案为 D。A 说“in history”绝对了，B项说房市必定下滑是由于利率太高，不符文章内容；C 中“worried“一词不对，不符文章内容。27.In terms of the future of the property market, Mr. Perry seems（分数：2.00）A.optimistic. B.uncertain.C.pessimistic.D.indifferent.解析：Perry 对房产市场未来的态度，比较容易
45、。依据九、十段可知，他对房市是持乐观态度的，故答案为 A。28.We learn from the passage that（分数：2.00）A.the present house price falls are at most a momentary phenomenon.B.the property market is experiencing its most depressing time over the decade. C.58 percent of surveyors contacted started to encounter house price falls in May.
46、D.Rics widely-followed headline indicator began to fall since Dec. 1992.解析：这是一道细节题。依据文章第一段可知答案为 B，选项中的 property market不动产市场就是指住房市场，参看文章首句。误选 A的考生显然未能将文章中的“momentum 势头”一词与选项中的“momentary短暂的“区分开来，C 项与文章意思反了；D 项末尾的时间不对。29.The author probably believes that（分数：2.00）A.the house-price falls may continue for
47、 a while. B.peoples uncertainty about the market is ungrounded.C.there was always exception to the rule of rising prices.D.people are certainly ready to buy more than befor解析：本题涉及文章作者的看法。依据全文，尤其是第一、二段以及末段可知，作者似乎倾向于认为房价下跌还会持续一段时间，故答案为 A。B“人们对市场的不确定是毫无依据的”文章未提，c、D 也非作者的，看法，予以排除。30.Paragraphs 2 and 3 are written to（分数：2.00）A.justify the authors observation in the first paragraph.B.contrast the present situation with t
