25、before returning to the capital to party with their friends at the weekend. They have it all,【C20】_enough sleep.(分数:40.00)(1).【C1】(分数:2.00)A.generalB.typical C.particularD.unique解析:解析:文章第 1 句表明年轻咨询师的情况:劳累的(tiring),接着开始叙述他们一周的工作和生活情况,由此判断,这里讲的是一般情况,typical“典型的,有代表性的”符合句意。此外,该句的谓语动词为第三人称单数形式表明所讲内容属于一般
26、性、常态化的情况,这也提示了本题应选 B 项typical。A 项 general“全面的”;C 项 particular“特别的”;D 项 unique“独一无二的”。(2).【C2】(分数:2.00)A.returnB.hikeC.sailingD.flight 解析:解析:由空格前的 a rush to the airport“匆匆赶往机场”可推断,and 后接着说的应该是要搭乘飞机,flight“飞行,航班”填入此空,意为“飞往客户所在地的航班”,符合文中语境,故本题选 D项 flight。(3).【C3】(分数:2.00)A.intendB.promiseC.expect D.urg
27、e解析:解析:上一句讲到年轻的咨询师居无定所,因此这里的一周有三天待在酒店是可以预料得到的。C项 expect“预计可能发生”符合此处的语义,故为本题答案。(4).【C4】(分数:2.00)A.distant B.newC.immediateD.temporary解析:解析:填入的形容词修饰 lover,由于年轻咨询师居无定所,所以恋人也不会在身边,故填入 A 项distant“远方的”。(5).【C5】(分数:2.00)A.irregularB.moderateC.extremeD.normal 解析:解析:living out of a suitcase 是一个固定用法,意为“忙于奔波”,
28、由上文可知年轻咨询师一整年到处奔波是常态,故选 D 项 normal“平常的”。A 项 irregular“不规则的”:B 项moderate“有节制的,适度的”;C 项 extreme“极端的”。(6).【C6】(分数:2.00)A.refersB.respondsC.turnsD.appeals 解析:解析:由破折号后的解释“他们总是担心自己没做够”可知 insecure overachievers 指“成就过多却仍缺乏安全感的人”,因而这样的一些人会对咨询师这项繁忙的工作感兴趣。故选 D 项 appeal,与 to 搭配表示“对感兴趣”。(7).【C7】(分数:2.00)A.widely
29、 B.speedilyC.quicklyD.broadly解析:解析:空格所在句为插入语,对前面内容进一步解释。“被广泛使用”一般用 widely used 表示,选 A 项 widely 合适。(8).【C8】(分数:2.00)A.setB.breakC.drop D.run解析:解析:由空格后的 and“然后,于是”可推断,需补充完整的这个动作跟 take more settled jobs elsewhere“在别处找到更稳定的工作”为并列或顺接的关系,即这两个行为是同时发生或者先后紧接着发生的。drop out 意为“离开,退出”,代入文中表示多数年轻的毕业生在几年内会离职,然后在别处
30、再找更稳定的工作,先离职后找新工作,符合此处的语义逻辑,故 C 项 drop 为本题答案。(9).【C9】(分数:2.00)A.whetherB.where C.whenD.how解析:解析:分析句子结构,得知此处为定语从句,whether 不引导定语从句,可排除 A 项。空格前的business world 表示地点,因此选 B 项 where。C 项 when 表时间,D 项 how 表方式。(10).【C10】(分数:2.00)A.persuadeB.allow C.forceD.tempt解析:解析:此空填的是该句的谓语动词,该句主语为“经验和人脉”(experience and co
31、ntacts),空格后为宾语 them(指这些转行的咨询师)和宾语补足语 to slot in several levels above“处于比更高的位置”。根据 less-travelled 推测比较的对象应是欠缺出差经验的人,二者相比,转行的咨询师由于拥有更丰富的经验和人脉而更有可能在竞争中处于优势地位即他们的经验和人脉关系让他们在新工作环境中能被安置于更高的职位上,B 项 allow“容许;使能够,促使”符合此处语义逻辑。(11).【C11】(分数:2.00)A.counterparts B.partnersC.clientsD.bosses解析:解析:此空所在句讲的是转行的咨询师在新的
32、工作环境中所拥有的优势,这通常是跟地位相当、处于同一竞争平台的人来比较,在工作场所中即指同事,A 项 counterparts“地位相同的人”与该语境相符。为本题答案。(12).【C12】(分数:2.00)A.frustratedB.curiousC.ambitious D.jobless解析:解析:空格所在句是定语从句,修饰 big cities,表明大城市所具有的特点是拥有雄心壮志的年轻人想要生活的地方,即年轻人想要在大城市就业,这是有野心、有雄心的体现。C 项ambitious“雄心壮志的,有抱负的”,符合此处语境。(13).【C13】(分数:2.00)A.forB.alikeC.asD
33、.like 解析:解析:London 和 New York 是空格前的 places 的具体例子,故选 D 项 like。(14).【C14】(分数:2.00)A.AndB.But C.StillD.So解析:解析:空格前后两句都讲 attitudes,前句讲的是它引起的不好的情况这样的态度让一些公司沮丧后句讲的是它也有好的方面咨询公司从中受益。两者存在转折关系,故选 B 项 But“但是”。(15).【C15】(分数:2.00)A.recruit B.attainC.shareD.reject解析:解析:空格填入动词作谓语,其后的宾语核心词 things 有可能误导我们,以为宾语不是指人。但
34、根据 and 后面的 their brains“他们的头脑”,可知 bright young things 指的是“聪明的年轻人”主语 They 指前句提到的咨询公司(consultancies)。“咨询公司招聘聪明的年轻人”,符合上下文逻辑。故本题选 A 项 recruit“招聘,雇用”。(16).【C16】(分数:2.00)A.sourceB.problemC.purposeD.reason 解析:解析:由空格后的 why 推断,此空应选 D 项 reason“原因”。why 引导定语从句,修饰reason表明这是什么事情的原因。(17).【C17】(分数:2.00)A.fitsB.car
35、esC.works D.matters解析:解析:从下一句的内容“省镇的公司能借用到人才,而年轻人得到接触现实生活的经历”来判断,这种形式是有作用的,故用 C 项 works“起作用,行得通”。(18).【C18】(分数:2.00)A.provideB.dismissC.borrow D.lend解析:解析:上一段第 2 句说到咨询公司会把人才出租(hire out)给地处偏远的公司,空格所在句的主语即为那些地处偏远的公司;故这里应选 C 项 borrow“借用,借入”,即这些公司借用他们难以聘到的人才。(19).【C19】(分数:2.00)A.casuallyB.easily C.hasti
36、lyD.harshly解析:解析:需要一个副词修饰 hire。省镇公司之所以租借人才是因为他们很难招到人才,因此选 B 项easily“容易地”,not easily“不容易”。(20).【C20】(分数:2.00)A.except B.amongC.despiteD.like解析:解析:年轻的咨询师周末会回到大城市中,他们什么都不缺,只缺足够的睡眠,选 A 项except“除了”。The arrival of the mass-produced car, just over a century ago, caused a(n) 【C1】_of business creation. First
37、 came the makers of cars and all the parts that go into them. Then came the garages, filling stations and all sorts of other car-dependent【C2】_: car parks, motels, out-of-town shopping centres.

43、“爆发性增长”,A 项 explosion“爆发,激增”符合此处语境。(2).【C2】(分数:2.00)A.productsB.occupationsC.businesses D.careers解析:解析:根据冒号后的内容:停车场、汽车旅馆、郊区购物中心,这些都是与汽车相关的行业,故用C 项 businesses。此外,第 1 句末的 business creation,也提示了此空填 business.(3).【C3】(分数:2.00)A.horizon B.outlookC.visionD.perspective解析:解析:on the horizon 是固定搭配,意思是“即将发生”,故选
44、 A。(4).【C4】(分数:2.00)A.surviveB.arrive C.fallD.start解析:解析:此空所在句的 it 指代前一句提到的“另一场汽车革命”,亦即“自动驾驶汽车的出现”。根据下文的提示:谷歌认为自动驾奠汽车在十年内会诞生,而其他人则有不同看法,可知人们并不确定这种汽车何时会出现,B 项 arrive“到来”代入文中,即“没人知道这场革命(或这种汽车)将何时到来”。符合此处文意。(5).【C5】(分数:2.00)A.findB.waitC.proclaimD.reckon 解析:解析:本句顺着上一句说的“没人知道这项革命何时到来”,列举了对于自动驾驶汽车何时诞生的两种
45、看法:谷歌的看法(Googlethinks in maybe a decade)和其他人的看法(others longer)。空格处对应前面的 thinks,故应该填入意思与 thinks(认为)大致相当的谓语动词,故选 D 项 reckon“认为估计,料想”。(6).【C6】(分数:2.00)A.validB.profound C.objectiveD.decent解析:解析:空格所在句讲自动驾驶汽车一旦出现会带来什么变化。根据 like the ordinary kind“同普通汽车一样”。回顾首段对普通汽车诞生之后带来的一系列变化,可知这里说的应该也是能产生巨大影响的变化。四个选项中只有
46、 B 项 profound“深远的”符合这个语义。valid“正当的,有效的”;objective“客观的”;decent“得体的”,这三项都不能跟 change(变化)搭配。(7).【C7】(分数:2.00)A.from B.withC.onD.for解析:解析:填入的介词要与前面的 save 搭配。savefrom意为“使免受”,代入句中表示“这场革命可使汽车业走出发展停滞的困境”,选 A。(8).【C8】(分数:2.00)A.seriousB.anxious C.positiveD.doubtful解析:解析:此空填入的形容词描述的是汽车制造商对后面所说现象(signs)的态度。根据te
47、enagersdo notget a driving licence and buy their first car 这些关键信息,可推测大致是讲年轻人不买车这对汽车制造商来说是一种不利的现象,因而他们会感到担心和忧虑,因此 B项 anxious“忧虑的,焦虑的”符合语义,be anxious about表示“对感到忧虑”。此外,下文的 Another worry for the motor industry 中的 worry“忧虑。担心”也提示这里应选 B 项 anxious。(9).【C9】(分数:2.00)A.subjectB.forceC.appealD.rush 解析:解析:rush to do sth表示“急着做某事”,填入此空后意为“急于考驾照去买生平的第一辆汽车”。符合此处的语境:如今的年轻人不急着去买车的话,汽车制造商就要犯愁了,因此 D 项 rush 为本题答案。(10).【C10】(分数:2.00)A.as B.whichC.thisD.that解析:解析:asdid 指“像那样(做)”,这里讲的是现在的青年与父辈的不同情况他们不像父辈那样急着考驾照然后去买车,A 项符合句意。(11).【C11】(分数:2.00)
