20、 and interesting, whereas your destination is less exciting and fulfilling.（分数：20.00）(1).What does this passage mainly talk about?（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：It mainly talks about loneliness）解析：解析 主旨题。文中第一段有 Loneliness is a curious thing，第二段的中心句是 This feeling of loneliness is very difficult to get rid of
21、，第三段讲何时容易感到孤独，最后一段讲身处大城市的人更易感到孤独。故而，孤独就是该短文讲述的主题。(2).When do we feel most lonely?（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：When we stay with people）解析：解析 推断题。由第一段feeling most lonely when we were not in fact alone at all，but when we were surrounded by people，由此可知，当我们和其他人在一起时反而会觉得孤独。come over sb意为“(某种感觉)刺激或影响某人，突然感到”，相似
22、短语有：come over(to)(from)(从某地到某地)；come over to sth(改变立场或意见等)，例如：She will never come over to our side她决不会站到我们这边来。(3).Its hard to _ loneliness particularly when we are in a crowd because there are no easy_.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：gel rid of/solutions）解析：解析 细节题。第二段第一句指出 This feeling of lonelinessis very d
23、ifficult to get rid of，第三段第一句明确提到 There are no easy solutions，由这两句即可得出答案。(4).We try to hide our sense of loneliness when we start a new job in order to _.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：survive）解析：解析 细节题。从第三段最后一句可得出答案。uncertainties and doubts 就是一种孤独感(sense of loneliness)。(5).In a big city, how do we usually
24、assume others life to be like?（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Full，rich and busy）解析：解析 细节题。从最后一段第一句可知答案。二、Cloze(总题数：1，分数：60.00)Methods of studying vary; what works (1) for some students doesnt work at all for others.

29、) . Get them out of the way and then go to the more difficult, time-consuming work.（分数：60.00）A.goodB.easilyC.sufficientlyD.well 解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。本题可采用排除法。结合下文提到的 doesnt work at all 可知，空格中应填入修饰动词 work 的副词，由于 good 是形容词，故排除 A；而 B、C 项与下文不能形成关联，故排除；所以 D 正确。A.until B.afterC.whileD.so解析：解析 词义辨析题。结合句意“你能做的就只有尝试，
30、_找到适合自己的学习方法”可知，空格处应填入连词表达“直到”之意，所以 A 正确。until 的用法until/till 一般只表示时间，不可表示地点，例如：Dont put off till/until tomorrow what we can dotoday今日事今日毕。在 until 句型中，若主句中的谓语动词是延续性动词，用肯定或否定句均可，但意义不同，例如：I worked till/until he came back我一直工作到他回来。I didnt work till/until he came back他回来我才开始工作。We dont start until Bob com
31、es直到鲍勃回来我们才开始。A.somebodyB.nobody C.everybodyD.anybody解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。结合空格后的 else 可知，空格处所填内容和 else 连起来应表示“(除了你自己，)别人都不能”，所以 B 正确。A.followB.goC.operateD.work 解析：解析 词义辨析题。follow 意为“跟随”，后面一般不接 for；go for 意为“主张，拥护”，operate 意为“操作，起作用”。其后一般也不接 for；work 意为“起作用”，work for sb意为“对谁起作用”。结合句意可知，D 正确。A.behind B.afterC
32、.slowD.later解析：解析 惯用搭配题。get/fall behind 是惯用搭配，意为“落后”，结合句意“我们在学习上不要_”可知，A 正确。而且下文也有出现该词组，是个提示。A.hardlyB.unpleasantC.hard D.heavy解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。结合上下文可知，空格处要填入形容词，故排除 A；结合后文中的 have trouble 可知，本句的意思是“学习这个难题，开始的时候非常难，而你想在一周内完成三周的事情几乎是不可能的”，所以 C 正确；unpleasant 意为“使人不愉快的”，heavy 意为“沉重的”，均排除。A.probableB.necessar
33、yC.impossible D.inevitable解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。impossible 意为“不可能的”，结合句意“我们知道要在一周内做三周的工作，这几乎是_”可知，C 正确；probable 意为“可能的”，necessary 意为“必需的”，inevitable 意为“必然的”，均排除。A.weeksB.weeksC.weeks D.week解析：解析 语法结构题。本题考查所有格的用法，三周 three weeks 是复数，week 必须是复数形式，故其所有格应为 weeks，故选 C。A.Even B.AlmostC.IfD.With解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。前一段说的是学习的困
34、难，在这里则谈论即使是读得最快的人也有困难，故选 A。A.doesB.doing C.finishD.complete解析：解析 惯用搭配题。laave trouble in sth/doing sth是惯用搭配，意为“做有困难”，接动名词时其中的 in 可以省略，故选 B。A.in B.upC.outD.away解析：解析 惯用搭配题。turn in 意为“交上去，上交”，结合句意“必须_的作业”可知，A 正确；turn up 意为“出现”，turn out 意为“出来，结果是”，turn away 意为“走开，转过脸”，均排除。A.veryB.quiteC.suchD.too 解析：解析
35、逻辑衔接题。结合句中 not give you good credit 可知，作业交得太晚了，所以 D 正确。A.thenB.whenC.all D.that解析：解析 惯用搭配题。notat all 是惯用搭配，意为“根本不”，故选 C。A.solutionB.methodC.answerD.excuse 解析：解析 词义辨析题。solution 意为“解决办法”，method 意为“方法”，answer 意为“答案”，excuse 意为“理由，借口”，结合句意可知，D 正确。A.help B.encourageC.assistD.improve解析：解析 词义辨析题。help 意为“有用，
36、有帮助”，encourage 意为“鼓励”，assist 意为“援助，帮助”，improve 意为“改进”，结合句意可知，A 正确。含“帮助”之意的单词辨析：help“帮助，援助”，是最普通用语，多用于日常谈话中强调受助者得到帮助和好处。assist“帮助，援助，协助”，一般是就个人而言，指给予协助或起助手作用(尤其指在智力方面的帮助)，与 help 相比，assist 更郑重，但词义没有 help 强，例如：He assists me in editing the paper他帮我编辑报纸。aid“帮助，援助，协助”，词义与 help 相同，意义更郑重，但词义不强，aid 不仅用于个人，还多
37、用于团体，aid 常作“救助”讲，一个国家以军队或金钱援助他国时多用 aid，例如：I aid him with money and advice我以金钱和忠告帮助他。A.expense B.payC.debtD.charge解析：解析 惯用搭配题。at the expense of 是惯用搭配，意为“以为代价”，故选 A。A.devote B.putC.spendD.take解析：解析 惯用搭配题。devoteto 是惯用搭配，意为“把献给，把专用于”，在本文中意为“把专用于”，故选 A。A.WhicheverB.Whatever C.HoweverD.Wherever解析：解析 词义辨析题
38、。空格所在句是一个让步状语从句，修饰 reason(理由)，最合适的词是whatever(不论什么理由)，此时 whatever。相当于 no matter what；whichever 意为“不论哪个”，However 意为“不论怎样”，wherever 意为“不论哪里”，均不符合句意。“特殊疑问词+ever”可用于引导让步状语从句，这时相当于 no matter+特殊疑问词，例如：Whoever breaks the law，he should be punished“特殊疑问词+ever”还可用于引导主语从句、宾语从句、时间状语从句等，例如：Whoever comes to the pa
39、rty will receive a giftA.attractionB.decisionC.temptationD.dilemma 解析：解析 词义辨析题。attraction 意为“吸引”，decision 意为“决定”，temptation 意为“诱惑”，dilemma 意为“两难的境地”，上文谈到的是一种令人左右为难的情况，故选 D。A.arrangementsB.wayC.assignmentsD.class 解析：解析 词义辨析题。arrangements 意为“安排”，way 意为“方法”，assignments 意为“任务”，class 意为“课程”，上文谈论的都是关于学习与课
40、程的，所以 D 正确。三、Translation(总题数：5，分数：20.00)1.Many automobile accidents 1(都起因于莽撞驾车).（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：were attributed to careless driving）解析：解析 本题考查“起因于”，attribute to 意为“把归因于”，故该题答案为 were attributed to careless driving，注意 accidents 是复数，所以用 were。2.In spite of 1(两性之间所受教育的差别正在缩小 ), the earnings of wom
41、en are well below that of men.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：educational differenccs that are diminishing between the two sexes）解析：解析 in spite of 后接名词。用定语从句修饰 difference，说明差距在缩小。“缩小”译为diminish，故该题答案为 educational differences that are diminishing between the two sexes。3.Mr. Black prefers to resign 1(也不愿参加这种不诚
42、实的商业交易).（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：rather than take part in such dishonest business deals）解析：解析 本题考查固定搭配，prefer 意为“宁愿”，其后接名词或动词不定式；rather than do sth意为“宁愿而不愿”，rather than 后接不带 to 的不定式。“参加”译为 take part in。4.The bank is reported in the local newspaper 1(昨天 在光天化日下遭到抢劫).（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：to have been r
43、obbed in bload daylight yesterday）解析：解析 动词不定式的完成式作主语的补足语，说明不定式的行为发生在谓语动作之前，“在光天化日下”译为 in broad daylight。故该题答案为 to have been robbed in broad daylight yesterday。5. 1(我们希望珍妮小姐能够接管二班) when Mr. Smith retires.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：We expect MissJenney will take over Class Two）解析：解析 本题考查固定搭配。“接收，接管”译为 take over，故该题答案为 we expect Miss Jenney will take over Class Two。
