27、的态度是不希望移民占英国福利的便宜,take advantage of意为“占便宜,利用”,所以应该选A:advantage。B:care与take.of构成短语take care of,意为“照顾,关怀”;C:hold与take.of构成短语take hold of,意为“握住,抓住”;D:notice与take.of构成短语take notice of,意为“注意到,留意”,均不符合文意,故排除。(2).A. or B. whileC. but D. and(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 语篇衔接题。前半句表明工党支持英语测试,后半句却指出问题,即大臣们在对移民进行英语测试时
28、忽略了对低技能移民的开发,所以此处应该填入表示转折的连词,故C:but为正确答案。A:or用来表示选择关系,D:and表示并列关系,故均排除;B:while表示递进,也可排除。(3).A. made out B. rolled outC. turned out D. helped out(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 动词短语辨析题。B:rolled out意为“推出(新产品或服务)”,用在此处恰好表达“这些测试正在被推广至所有的就业中心”之意,因此B为正确答案。A:made out有“(费力地)看出;听出”之意;C:turned out意为“结果是”;D:helped out指
29、“帮助摆脱困难”,均不符合文意,故排除。(4).A. assure B. reassureC. secure D. ensure(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 动词辨析题。上文指出英国正向所有的就业中心推广英语测试,该句解释其原因:该测试可以确保只有符合条件的移民才能获得福利,因此正确答案为D:ensure,意为“确保”,指确保某事发生,后面可以直接接that从句,也可以接复合宾语。A:assure也是“确保”的意思,但是指向某人保证某事将要发生,其宾语通常是人或人称代词,如果后面要接that从句,必须是“assure+sb. +that从句”的结构,故排除;B:reassure
30、“使安心;使消除疑虑”和C:secure“保护,使安全”,均不符合句意,故排除。(5).A. attribute B. distributeC. contribute D. constitute(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 动词辨析题。根据上下文的逻辑关系可知,此处应该选C:contribute,与to搭配意为“为做贡献”。A:attribute后接to意为“把归因于”;B:distribute与to搭配意为“分发给,分配给”;D:constitute“构成,组成”是及物动词,不与to搭配使用,以上三项均可排除。(6).A. to B. forC. with D. on(分数:
31、2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 固定搭配题。此处的动词短语是make a claim for sth. ,意为“(尤指向公司、政府等)索款,索赔”,故B:for为正确答案。其余三个选项均不符合题目要求,故排除。(7).A. barrier B. barrelC. jam D. fence(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。根据上下文文意可知,此处应该选A:barrier,意思是“障碍”。B:barrel意为“桶;圆筒”;C:jam意为“堵塞(物)”;D:fence意为“栅栏,围墙”,均不符合文意,故排除。(8).A. confession B. settlement
32、C. supplement D. statement(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。根据上下文文意可知,此处应该选D:statement,意思是“声明”。A:confession意为“供认,坦白”;B:settlement,意为“解决”;C:supplement,意为“增补,补充”,均不符合句意,故排除。(9).A. correspond to B. submit toC. yield to D. apply to(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 动词短语辨析题。D:apply to意为“适用于”,用在此处恰好表达“这些测试适用于所有人”之意,故D为正确答
33、案。A:correspond to有“与符合、一致”之意;B:submit to意为“向呈交;屈服于”;C:yield to意为“屈服于”,均不符合文意,故排除。(10).A. include B. excludeC. compose D. constitute(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 动词辨析题。该句的主语是“与收入相关的福利”,宾语列举了四项福利:地方政府税津贴、住房津贴、求职津贴以及养老金补贴,表明两者之间是包含与被包含的关系,A:include意为“包含,包括”,与原文意思相符,故C为正确答案。B:exclude的意思是“把排除在外”,与原文意思相反,故排除;C:c
34、ompose和D:constitute都有“组成,构成”之意,但是指部分构成整体,而该句是指整体包含部分,与句意不符,故排除。(11).A. reputation B. honorC. credit D. fame(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。该旬是具体介绍与收入相关的福利包括哪些,所以此处填入的名词应该与“福利”相关,pension credit意为“养老金补贴”,与文意相符,故C为正确答案。A:reputation“名声,名誉”、B:honor“荣誉;信用”和D:fame“名声,名望”均与文意不符,故排除。(12).A. resolved B. concerne
35、dC. involved D. relevant(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 形容词辨析题。此处填入的形容词是用来表示英国人民对待移民问题的态度的,所以此处最合适的形容词应该是B:concerned“关心的,关注的”。A:resolved,其含义是“下定决心的,断然的”;C:involved的意思是“有关的;被卷入的”;D:relevant有“相关的;切题的”之意,均不符合文意,故排除。(13).A. interest B. attractivenessC. attachment D. temptation(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。空格处提到移民
36、不应该是受到吸引到英国来的,然后用介词by引出施动者,表示移民不应该是受到我们福利系统的魅力吸引才来到英国的,所以选B:attractiveness,意为“吸引力,魅力”。A:interest意为“兴趣,爱好”;C:attachment意为“附件;爱慕”;D:temptation意为“诱惑(物)”,均不符合文意,故排除。(14).A. vitally B. visuallyC. vividly D. virtually(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 副词辨析题。根据上下文文意可知,此处应该选A:vitally,意为“极其”。B:visually意为“看得见地;外表上地”;C:vi
37、vidly意为“鲜艳地;生动地”;D:virtually意为“实际上,事实上”,均不符合文意,故排除。(15).A. specialty B. powerC. proportion D. place(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。该句是指运用严格的规定去保护我们福利制度的完整性的重要性,此处填入的名词与in一起构成介词短语,修饰have strict rules,四个选项中最合适的应该是in place,意为“适当地,恰当地”,所以D:place为正确答案。A:specialty与in构成的短语意为“尤其,特别”;B:power与in构成的短语意为“执政;掌权”;C:
38、proportion与in构成的短语意为“成比例;相称”,均不符合原文意思,故排除。(16).A. frank B. neutralC. fair D. indifferent(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 形容词辨析题。该句含有一个由which引导的定语从句,修饰先行词system,表明新测试帮助创建的制度为真正的工人和求职者提供生计,但不允许人们到英国占便宜,而此处要填入的形容词也是用来修饰system的,故选C:fair,意为“公平的,公正的”。A:frank意为“坦白的,直率的”;B:neutral意为“中立的;中性的”,往往是指人持中立态度,不偏袒任何一方;D:indi
39、fferent意为“冷漠的;不积极的”,均不符合文意,故排除。(17).A. glow B. swallowC. allow D. pillow(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 动词辨析题。根据上文可知,该制度是为真正的工人和求职者提供生计,but表示意思发生了转折,应该是指不允许人们到英国来占便宜,所以此处应该填入C:allow意为“允许”。A:glow意为“发光,发热”;B:swallow意为“吞下,咽”;D:pillow意为“枕于”,均不符合文意,故排除。(18).A. appeal B. claimC. pray D. beg(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 动
40、词辨析题。文章开头提到根据新计划,英国移民在索要与收入相关的福利之前,得先接受其英语技能的测试,而该句则进一步强调这一点,句首的不定式表示目的,所以移民必须通过“惯常居住地测试”是为了“索要福利”,此处应该填入B:claim“索取,索要”,指有权或宣称有权得到而公开提出的要求。A:appeal意为“呼吁;申诉”;C:pray意为“祈求,恳求”,语气庄重,指热情、诚恳和敬祈地要求;D:beg意为“乞求,请求”,指恳切地或再三地请求或要求,常含低三下四的意味,也多用于应酬场合,均不符合原文意思,故排除。(19).A. relevance B. reluctanceC. resistance D.
41、residence(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。D:residence的含义是“住所,居住”,用于此处恰好表达“惯常居住地测试”的意思,因此D为正确答案。A:relevance意为“相关性”;B:reluctance意为“勉强,不情愿”;C:resistance意为“抵抗;抵制”,均不符合文意,故排除。(20).A. extra B. excessiveC. extensive D. external(分数:2.50)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 形容词辨析题。该句表明与现在相比,移民为了获得福利而要通过的“惯常居住地测试”有100多道问题,此处填入的形容词是用来修饰
42、questions的,故A:extra“额外的”为正确答案。B:excessive“过多的,极度的”,与more than重复,故排除;C:extensive“广泛的,广阔的”和D:external“外部的”均不能修饰questions,故排除。Most people who go online have mainly positive experience.
