(分数:25.00)_专业英语四级分类模拟344答案解析 (总分:72.00,做题时间:90分钟)一、PART LANGUAGE KNOW(总题数:10,分数:22.00)1.Which of the following sentences indicates POSSIBILITY?(分数:2.50)A.Light
16、ning can be dangerous.B.You cant keep the book for so long.C.Can you pass the salt?D.You can forget about your holiday.解析:解析 情态动词。B项是can表示“许可”的用法,它的否定可以用来表示“禁止”。C项can表示“能力”有时带有“愿意”的含义,相当于will,多见于口语。D项can表示“许可”在有些场合可以带有“劝告”的含义。Can表示“可能”,可用于肯定陈述句、否定陈述句和疑问句,本题选A。注意:肯定句中的can表示的是逻辑上的可能性,此点与may不同,后者表示事实上的
17、可能性。如: Like all other currencies, the pound can be devalued if necessary. Its a time of financial crisis. The pound may be devalued.2.During the lecture, the speaker occasionally _ his point by relating his own experiences.(分数:3.50)A.illustratedB.hintedC.citedD.displayed解析:解析 本题考查近义异形词的辨析。illustrate
18、多指用图或例子“说明,阐明”,和题干中的by relating his own experiences(引用自己的经历)相一致,故答案为A。Bhinted(暗示)、Ccited(引用)、Ddisplayed(陈列,显示)均不符合题意。故答案为A。3.Hotel workers suspect that the fire was ignited by a cigarette and that a guest may have thrown the cigarette into a bush from the pool deck. The modal auxiliary verb phrase m
19、ay have thrown in the sentence expresses _.(分数:1.00)A.high possibility in the pastB.low possibility in the presentC.high possibility in the presentD.low possibility in the past解析:解析 该句的情态助动词may表示程度较低的推测。虽然形式上是现在时,但是表示的时间概念是过去。情态助动词的现在时形式和过去时形式不是区分时间的主要标志,所表示的时间通过情态助动词后的动词形态判断,动词的完成体形式一般表示过去时间。4.Of c
20、ourse, most immigrants did not get rich overnight, but the _ of them were eventually able to improve upon their former standard of living.(分数:2.50)A.maximumB.minorityC.majorityD.minimum解析:考点 考查名词词义辨析。5.We will be losing money this year unless that new economic plan of yours _ miracle.(分数:2.50)A.is w
21、orkingB.worksC.will be workingD.worked解析:解析 unless引导条件状语从句,用一般现在时表示将来。6.Reputable charities spend the lions _ of donations on aid and a tiny fraction on administration.(分数:2.00)A.partB.sectionC.shareD.portion解析:解析 lions share of意为“最大(最好)的部分”,如:As usual, the lions share of the budget is for defense.预
22、算中的最大一项照例是国防费用。 由于这是固定搭配,所以其他选项均不可以。7.Strenuous efforts have been made to _ government expenses to a desired level.(分数:2.50)A.cut offB.cut backC.cut downD.cut short解析:考点 考查词组辨析。8.It was to New York _ he went in the hope of finding work in one of the New York newspapers.(分数:2.00)A.whichB.whereC.asD.t
23、hat解析:解析 该题是语法结构题,考查强调句型的用法。 强调句型是It is/was+强调部分+that+句子其他部分。强调部分可以是句子的主语、宾语、表语、状语等部分。如果去掉It is/was.that,句子结构和意义仍然是完整的。在该句中,强调部分是状语;如果去掉It is/was.that,该句就变成了He went to New York in the hope of finding work in one of the New York newspapers. 因此,选项D为最佳答案。9.In China, the South generally receives more su
24、nshine than _ the North.(分数:1.00)A.doesB.it doesC.does itD.it does in解析:解析 此句一定要弄清楚than前后做比较的主语是什么,前半句很明显是the south,后半句是north。所以前后对称,缺的只是谓语,我们用does替代,完整的句子为“In China the south generally receives more sunshine than the North receives sunshine.”。10.My brother has decided to become a policeman, _ what
25、may.(分数:2.50)A.cameB.comeC.comingD.having come解析:解析 come what may相当于whatever may happen,意为“不论发生什么情况”,是一固定用法。其中come是用动词原形,may有时也可用will替换。在这一用法中,主谓必须倒装。二、PART CLOZE(总题数:1,分数:25.00)Acasual Bretirement Cto take Dpaid Esubjective Fformal Goverseas Hobjectives Istandardized Jever Kqualified Lnever Mcommer

31、le in 9 were also possible during ones working life but they are to be undertaken no less seriously for that. Retired people who are just looking for something different or unusual to do should not consider 10 community service.(分数:25.00)解析:G 考点 考查副词。 空格所在句意为“正如年轻人在从事全职工作之前有很多 -|_|-志愿服务的机会,发展中国家的一些
32、-|_|-技术人员也有一些海外服务的机会。”后半句出现了overseas service(海外服务),属于同义复现,由此推测空格处应填作副词的G项overseas“在海外”。解析:K 考点 考查形容词。 此处意为“发展中国家的一些 -|_|-技术人员也有一些海外服务的机会”,由句子结构可知,空格处应填一个作定语的形容词来修饰technicians(技术人员)。对比各形容词选项可知,K项qualified“有资格的,能胜任的”符合句意,故为答案。解析:D 考点 考查形容词。 由句子结构可知,or前后的两个词应为并列的形容词,且在意义上相反,共同修饰community service,而volun
33、tary意为“自愿的,免费的”,可知空格处所填形容词的意思应为“非自愿的,收费的”,故选D项paid“付报酬的”。解析:J 考点 考查副词。 由句中there are more opportunities than there -|_|- were这一结构可知,than连接的是两个比较成分,比较的是现在的情况和一个人刚开始工作时的情况。此处缺少的就是一个表示过去状况的时间副词,L项never意为“从不”,表示否定意义,不符合上下文语境;J项ever意为“曾经,过去”,符合句意,故答案选J。解析:M 考点 考查形容词。 本句意为“这意味着工作关系与 -|_|-机构的不同,并且价值观念也会不同。”
34、根据上下文可知,本文主要讲社区服务,社区机构必定不同于商业机构、政府机构、军事机构等,而下一句的末尾又出现了commercial criteria“商业标准”,因此此处是指商业机构,选项中符合条件的只有M项commercial“商业的”。解析:A 考点 考查形容词。 空格所在句意为“从某些方面来看,社区机构可能显得更 -|_|-,同时效率也较低,但是我们不应以商业化的标准来评判它们。”根据常识可判断社区机构往往比商业机构更随意、更不正式。空格前为修饰比较级的标志词more,空格后的and连接两个并列的成分,由此判断空格处所填词为形容词且含有“非正式的,随意的”之意,选项中A项casual意为“
35、随意的,非正式的”,符合题意,故为答案;F项formal意为“正式的”,与文意相反,可排除。解析:H 考点 考查名词。 通过分析句子结构可知空格处所填词应是与reasons并列的名词。前文说到社区机构与商业机构的工作关系不同,因此它们的价值观念也会不同,由此可推测这句话是说“那些从事社区志愿服务的人做这些事是出于不同的原因,有不同的目标”,故符合句意的是H项,objectives意为“目标,宗旨”;形近词E项subjective为形容词,意为“主观的;个人的”,与句意不符,可排除。解析:O 考点 考查名词。 由逗号后的not可知,commitment to the -|_|-与business
36、 efficiency在意思上应该是相对的。这句话是说,成为志愿者组织的一员最重要的是有为“志愿事业”奉献的精神,而不是为了商业效率,故选O项,cause作名词时除了表示“原因”,还可指事业。解析:B 考点 考查名词。 根据上下文,可推测该句的意思是“许多在退休以后做的社区活动在退休前也可以做”,即in -|_|-表示的意义与during ones working life的意义是相反的,in retirement表示退休后,故选B项retirement“退休”。解析:N 考点 考查动词。 该句意为“那些只是想在退休之后寻找一些新鲜事情做的人不应该考虑 -|_|-社区服务。”常用搭配consi
37、der doing sth.意为“考虑做某事”,故选N项taking,意为“从事”。三、PART WRITING(总题数:1,分数:25.00)11.In an attempt to help boys become more masculine and improve their academic performance, one middle school in Shanghai planed to offer two boys only classes.
