15、的同义解释。(2).My mother spent a lot of“ quality time“ with us.（分数：1.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：解析 细节信息。根据原文“My mother also found lots of what people now callquality timefor my brothers and me，”，译文为：我母亲也为我和弟弟度过了很多现在人们所谓的“素质时间”。(3).We didnt have a car until the 1960s.（分数：1.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 理解推断。题干给出的是错误的干扰信息，根据原文“Sh
16、e didnt learn to drive until the early 1960s”，译文为：我母亲直到 20 世纪 60 年代才学会开车。但不能由此推断出我们到 60 年代才拥有汽车。(4).We walked to the store with my mother to get groceries even in winter.（分数：1.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 细节信息。根据原文 “In the winter，she bundled us up on a sled and pulled us to the storeThen we held and balanced t
17、he groceries for the trip home”，译文为：冬天，母亲把我们绑在雪橇上，拉着我们去商店。所以在冬天母亲和我们并不是走着去商店，而是坐雪橇，所以题干信息是错误的。(5).My brothers and I went home for lunch every day.（分数：1.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 理解推断。根据原文“I came home from school for lunch every day”，译文为：我每天中午都从学校回家吃午饭。但文章并没有说到弟弟也是回家吃饭，所以题干表述是错误的。(6).We always had dinner at
18、exactly 6 oclock.（分数：1.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：解析 理解推断。根据原文“I see a womanputting dinner on the table precisely at six oclock”，译文为；想到母亲的时候，就会看到她准时在六点钟把晚饭摆上餐桌。作者使用了副词 precisely，译文为：准时地、精确地，所以可以推断出我们家总是在六点吃晚饭，题干表述是正确的。(7).My older brother Tony wanted to dig a hole to China.（分数：1.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：解析 理解推断。根据原文“she
19、encouraged my younger brother Tony to pursue his dream of digging a hole all the way to China”，译文为：她鼓励我的弟弟追寻他的梦想，他梦想挖一个地道，一直挖到中国去。由此可以推断我的弟弟想要挖个地道到中国，题干表述是正确的。(8).My mother once helped me make up fairy tales for my dolls.（分数：1.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 细节信息。根据原文“One summer，she helped me create a fantasy wor
20、ld in a large cardboard boxWe used mirrors for lakes and twigs for trees，and I made up fairy-tale stories for my dolls to act out”，译文为：一个夏天，妈妈帮我在一只大木箱里建造了一个童话世界，我们用镜子做湖面，小树枝做树木，然后我编了童话故事，并让我的玩具参与故事演出。原文说的是我自己编的故事，而不是妈妈帮我编的故事，所以题干表述是错误的。(9).Tony often found cookies that my mother hid for him.（分数：1.00
21、）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 词义理解。根据原文“Occasionally，he found a chopstick or fortune cookie my mother had hidden there”，译文为：偶尔，他会发现母亲藏在那里的筷子和幸运饼干。本题关键是理解 occasionally 的词义，表示偶然、偶尔，所以题干表述是错误的。(10).Mom and I had fun even in the middle of hanging the wash in the backyard.（分数：1.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：解析 理解推断。根据原文“In the middl
22、e of hanging the wash on a clothesline in the backyard，she might help me practice my pitching or lie down on the grass with me to describe the cloud shapes overhead”，译文为：在后院晾衣服的时候，她帮我练习棒球的投球，和我躺在草地上描述天上的云彩的形状。根据这句可以推断出即便是在晾衣服的时候，我和妈妈也有很多乐趣，所以题干的表述是正确的。B（分数：10.00）A.B. C.D.解析：解析 He was less hurt than
23、frightened.分析 比较结构。根据原文“He was less hurt than frightened”，关键在于理解固定搭配 less than。less than 是特殊的比较结构，意指“少于、与其说倒不如”。本句的意思是：他与其说被伤着了，倒不如说吓着了。据此应选 b，b 选项 scared 是原句 frightened 的同义词。A. B.C.D.解析：解析 I decided not to do the job, knowing it would take me several days to do it all by myself.分析 同义替换。根据原文“knowing
24、 it would take me several days to do it all by myself”，译文为：原因是这项工作会让我一个人花费好几天来做。本题关键是理解 time- consuming 的意思，表示很耗时间，所以选a。A.B.C.D. 解析：解析 He decided that he had no choice but to reconcile himself to being a petty clerk for the rest of his life.分析 句子结构。根据原文“He decided that he had no choice but to reconc
25、ile himself to being a petty clerk for the rest of his life”，译文为：他决定了他没有其他选择，只有让自己屈服，在他的余生只做一名小小的职员。本句关键是理解句子结构 have no choice but，意思是：没有别的选择只有， 所以应选 d。A.B.C.D. 解析：解析 I doubt she can finish typing her research paper that is due tomorrow morning.分析 理解推断。根据原文“I doubt she can finish typing her research
26、 paper that is due tomorrow morning”，译文为：我怀疑她能否打完论文，明天早晨就是论文的最后期限了。所以应选 d，看来她到明天早晨为止不能把论文打完。A.B.C. D.解析：解析 Susan is fluent in Spanish now that she has been to Mexico.分析 词义理解。根据原文“Susan is fluent in Spanish now that she has been to Mexico”，译文为：苏姗因为去过墨西哥，所以西班牙语讲的很流利。本题关键在于理解连词短语 now that，意指“由于、因为”，所以选
27、 c。A.B.C.D. 解析：解析 At no time during his speech did the politician mention that he had advocated the opposite policy two years before.分析 句型转换。根据原文“At no time during his speech did the politician mention that he had advocated the opposite policy two years before”，原句是倒装句，译文为：在他的演讲中，这位政治家很快就提到了两年以前他拥护过相
28、反的政策。所以应选 d 选项，他的演讲和他两年前所拥护的政策正相反。A.B.C.D. 解析：解析 The snowstorm brought train travel to a standstill.分析 词义理解。根据原文“The snowstorm brought train travel to a standstill”，译文为：暴风雪使得火车旅行停止了下来。本题关键是理解单词 standstill 的词义，意思是：停止、停滞。正确选项为 d“因为严重的暴风雪，火车旅行停止了。” suspend 意思是：悬空、停止。a 选项意为“火车陷在了雪中。”，be stuck in，陷入、陷进。c
29、 选项为干扰选项，意为“人们不得不站在火车上。”，容易和 standstill 发生混淆。A. B.C.D.解析：解析 After winning the World Tennis Tournament, he made headlines.分析 理解推断。根据原文“After winning at the World Tennis Tournament，he made it into headlines”，译文为：在赢得世界网球公开赛之后，他成为头条新闻。本题关键是理解 headline 的词义，即头条、头条新闻，由此可以推断他成名了，所以选 a。A. B.C.D.解析：解析 Incompe
30、tence on the part of a judge cannot but lead to miscarriage of justice.分析 同义替换。根据原文“Incompetence on the part of a judge cannot but lead to miscarriage of justice”，译文为：对法官来说，如果工作不能胜任，只会导致正义的失败。所以应选 a，选项中用 injustice 不公平代替了原句的 miscarriage of justice。A.B. C.D.解析：解析 I really dont want to go out to dinner
31、 if the weather continues like this.分析 理解推断。根据原文“I really dont want to go out to dinner if the weather continues like this”，译文为：如果天气继续这样的话，我真的不想出去吃晚餐了。所以选 b，天气状况很糟糕。四、Part (总题数：0，分数：0.00)五、Passage 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)（分数：10.00）A.B.C.

In general, the area struck him as comfortable. But just east of Stockwell Road he found a pocket of filth and squa

Dismal two-storey cottages have been swept away and replaced by grass and the apartment blocks of the Stockwell Park Estate. But the appearance of the ne

But it does measure peoples socioeconomic status. By collapsing its eight categories, and Booths seven, into four, it is possible to see how a nei

Booths researchers found some well-to-do residents in the Georgian terraces and on the main roads; befo
