26、D.pleased解析:解析:考查动词辨析。前文提示“that dare not speak its name”即人类某些族群的智商可能要高于其他族群,但这仍是一种假设,不敢公开发表。接下来的 But表示后面的语义与前面相反,即“打算或准备说了”,所以选 Bprepared“预备,打算”。be selected to“被选择(做)”;be obliged to“有责任(做)”;be pleased to“高兴(做)”,均不符合题意。(2).【B2】(分数:2.00)A.uniqueB.particularC.specialD.rare 解析:解析:考查固定搭配。逗号后面的句子做 bird的同位
27、语,解释 Gregory Cochran是什么样的人,independently告诉我们他是个特立独行的人。Gregory Cochran 打破常规,准备把这个论断说出来,像是“出头鸟”,因此选 Drare,rare birds 意为“稀世珍品,旷世奇才,罕见人(物)”,符合题意。unique“独一无二的”;particular“特殊的,特别的”;special“特殊的”,均无此用法。(3).【B3】(分数:2.00)A.of B.withC.inD.against解析:解析:考查习惯搭配。independently 其后应搭配 of,意为“独立于,不依赖于”,即“他是一位不依赖于任何机构的独
28、立的科学家”。故选 Aof。(4).【B4】(分数:2.00)A.subsequentlyB.presentlyC.previously D.lately解析:解析:考查副词辨析与上下文语义。“that some diseases not_thought to have a bacterial cause”是同位语从句,修饰“idea”。下文的“actually”一词是对前面内容的转折,暗示了实际情况和过去的看法不一样,提示了本题的答案是 Cpreviously“先前”。本句意为:他推动普及了这种观点,即以前人们认为不是由细菌引起的疾病实际上是传染病,这一观点一经提出就引起了极大争议。subs
29、equently“随后”;presently“当前”;lately“近来,最近”,均与语境不符。(5).【B5】(分数:2.00)A.OnlyB.SoC.Even D.Hence解析:解析:考查逻辑关系。however 一词提示下面的内容与上一段形成转折,即“他虽然特立独行,但他即将要做的(即发表这个结论),甚至他也会有点战战兢兢”,因此 CEven“甚至,即使”,符合逻辑。So和 Hence引出的是结果,Only“只,仅仅”,不符合语境,均可排除。(6).【B6】(分数:2.00)A.thought B.sightC.costD.risk解析:解析:考查名词辨析。根据上一题的分析,空格处所在
30、的句意为“_即将要做的事,他也会有点战战兢兢”,因此 at the thought of“一想到”符合题意。at the sight of“一看到”,at the cost of“以为代价”,at the risk of“冒的风险”,均不符合语境。因此选 Athought。(7).【B7】(分数:2.00)A.advisesB.suggests C.protestsD.objects解析:解析:考查动词辨析。which 引导一个定语从句修饰 paper,即“不但_一个人类种群比其他种群更聪明,而且解释了导致这种情况的过程”,那么主语 paper应该是表达一种观点,因此Bsuggests 正确,
31、在此意为“提出,表明”,其后的宾语从句不用虚拟语气。advise“建议”,protest“对提出异议”,object“反对”,均不符合语境。(8).【B8】(分数:2.00)A.progressB.factC.needD.question 解析:解析:考查介词短语辨析。前面句子讲到人类某些族群的智商相对其他族群要高一些,由此可判断这里要说的就是“正在被讨论的族群”。in question“讨论中的,考虑中的”,符合语境,因此Dquestion 正确。in progress“在的进程中”,in fact“事实上”,in need“在危难(急)中”,均不符合题意。(9).【B9】(分数:2.00)
32、A.attainingB.scoring C.reachingD.calculating解析:解析:考查动词辨析。空白处后面的宾语是分数,因此思路就要转移到得分上,因此Bscoring“(在游戏、竞赛中)得分”正确。attain“(经过长期努力)获得”,reach“达到”,calculate“计算”,均没有“得分”的意思。(10).【B10】(分数:2.00)A.normalB.commonC.mean D.total解析:解析:考查形容词辨析。此处意思显然为“比平均分 100分多 12分到 15分”。一般来说,average最常用的意思是“平均的”,mean 表达这个意义时比较正式,符合语义
33、。normal“正常的”,common“普通的,共同的”,total“总共的”,均不符合题意。故选 Cmean。(11).【B11】(分数:2.00)A.unconsciouslyB.disproportionately C.indefinitelyD.unaccountably解析:解析:考查副词辨析。此处意为“这一族群在智商测验中普遍得分较高,比平均值 100分高 12至15分,而且他们在西方的学术和文化方面做出了(与他们的人数) 的贡献”。根据题意,只有Bdisproportionately“不成比例地,不相称地,比例太大(或太小地)”符合逻辑。unconsciously“无意识地”,i
34、ndefinitely“不确定地”,unaccountably“不能说明地,不可理解地”,均在语义上解释不通。(12).【B12】(分数:2.00)A.missionsB.fortunesC.interestsD.careers 解析:解析:考查名词辨析。本句大意为“正如他们中的精英,包括一些世界知名的科学家的 所的”。贡献不可能仅仅是财富等物质的东西,在这里精英人物一定是通过比较深远的东西为世界做贡献,因此答案选 Dcareers“事业”。missions“使命,任务”,fortunes“财富,运气”,interests“利益,兴趣”,均不符合题意。(13).【B13】(分数:2.00)A.
35、affirm B.witnessC.observeD.approve解析:解析:考查动词辨析。结合上题,本句意为“正如他们中的精英,包括一些世界知名的科学家的事业所_的”,即精英人物用事业_了他们对西方做出的贡献,因此只有 Aaffirm“证实,确定,强化(信念等)”符合题意。witness“目击,证明”,一般用于 witness sth和 as witnessed by sth,不接 that从句,用法上不符合要求:observe“观察,遵守”和 approve“赞成,批准”一般用于人发出的动作,而从句的主语是 the careers,故排除。(14).【B14】(分数:2.00)A.mor
36、eoverB.thereforeC.however D.meanwhile解析:解析:考查逻辑关系。前文说“此外,与多数人相比,他们更容易患一些恶性的遗传病,例如乳癌”,本句说“人们以前认为这些情况是没有关联的”。上下文构成了转折关系。因此,正确答案为Chowever“然而,但是”。moreover“此外,而且”,表递进;therefore“因此”,表因果;meanwhile“同时”;均不符合语境。(15).【B15】(分数:2.00)A.given upB.got overC.carried onD.put down 解析:解析:考查动词短语辨析。本句意为“智商归因于社会影响”,且此处填入的
37、动词短语需和下文的to搭配,只有 Dput down(to)“归因于”符合语境。be given up to“让与”,get over to“把(向某人)说清楚,使理解”,均不符合题意。carry on“继续,进行”,不和 to构成搭配。(16).【B16】(分数:2.00)A.assessingB.supervisingC.administeringD.valuing 解析:解析:考查动词辨析。联系上文,“对西方的学术方面和文化方面作出了巨大贡献”应该与“高度重视教育”紧密相关。因此答案应该选 Dvaluing。value 本义为“评价”,此处意为“重视,看重”。assess“评估,评价”,
38、没有“重视”的意思。supervise“监督”,administer“管理,掌管”,均不符合题意。(17).【B17】(分数:2.00)A.developmentB.originC.consequence D.instrument解析:解析:考查名词辨析。The formerThe latter 是很清晰的对称结构,前面是“归因于”的意思,后面也应该是类似的内容,因此只有 Cconsequence“结果”符合题意,构成 as a consequence of的结构,意为“是的结果”。development“发展”;origin“起源”;instrument“工具,器皿”,均不能体现出因果关系。
39、(18).【B18】(分数:2.00)A.linked B.integratedC.wovenD.combined解析:解析:考查动词辨析。观察四个选项都有“连接、整合”的意思。根据文章对 Cochran及其新研究的介绍及近义选项的提示,可知“智力和疾病是紧密相关的”。Alinked“联系,连接”表示两者之间是相互联系的,符合句意。integrate“使完整”,表示两者融为一体;woven(原形 weave;过去式wove),意为“编织,相互交织”;combine 指两者联合、结合;均不能表示逻辑上的“关联”,故排除。(19).【B19】(分数:2.00)A.limitedB.subjecte
40、d C.convertedD.directed解析:解析:考查动词辨析。根据语境,本句意为“这些人不同寻常的历史致使他们承受了独特的进化压力”,只有 Bsubjected 符合题意。subject to“使遭受(经受),屈服”,但是被动语态besubjected to更常用。limit to“局限于”,只用于被动语态 be limited to。convert to“转变为”,direct to“指向,导向”,均不符合题意。(20).【B20】(分数:2.00)A.paradoxical B.incompatibleC.inevitableD.continuous解析:解析:考查形容词辨析。本
41、句意为“这些人不同寻常的历史致使他们承受了独特的进化压力,这些压力导致了这种_的状态”。结合上文可知,this state of affairs 指的是前文中“一方面,这类人作出了杰出贡献;另一方面,他们更容易患上恶性疾病”,这是两种矛盾的状态,因此选Aparadoxical“自相矛盾的”。incompatible“不相容的,不能同时成立的”;inevitable“不可避免的”;continuous“连续的,持续的”;均不符合语境。The human nose is an underrated tool.

47、考查逻辑关系。空格前讲的是“人的嗅觉没有动物灵敏”,空格后讲的是“这主要是因为我们是直立的”。由本段首句“人的鼻子是一个被低估的工具”可知,作者并不认同“人的嗅觉没有动物的灵敏”这一普遍认同的观点。由此可推知,空格前后部分存在一种隐约的转折关系,即作者认为人的鼻子是灵敏的,只不过因为人是直立的,所以不能更好地去感知气味。故正确答案为 Cbut。(2).【B2】(分数:2.00)A.aboveB.unlike C.excludingD.besides解析:解析:考查介词辨析。空格所在部分讲的是“这主要是因为我们是直立的”。人类是直立的,而动物不是直立的。由此可知,空格处所填单词应表示比较的关系,故正确答案为 Bunlike。(3).【B3】(分数:2.00)A.limited B.committedC.dedicatedD.confined解析:解析:考查动词辨析。空格所在部分讲“这意味着我们的鼻子_感知到那些浮在空气中的气味”。由上句可知,和动物不同,人类是直立的,由此可知,人的鼻子只能限于感知到那些浮在空气中的气味。因此,空格处应填表示“局限”的词。limit 和 confine都表示“局限”,但 confine“限制”
