25、90分钟)1.Teachers in this school were encouraged to use drama as a(n) _ of learning.A. design B. instrument C. agency D. tool(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。tool和instrument均可表示“工具,手段”。tool指能帮助完成任务或达到目的的手段,如using computer as a tool of learning,即tool of learning侧重具体的教学设备。instrument尤指医学、化工使用的精密的仪器,但还可表示某个用此
26、达到某结果的东西或人。句中是指把戏剧作为教学手段,而并非具体的教学设备,故用instrument更好,故选B。design意为“设计”;agency意为“代理”,不符合语境,故排除。2.In spite of the treatment, the pain in his leg grew in _.A. gravity B. extent C. intensity D. amount(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。intensity意为“强度,强烈”,例如:The pain increased in intensity. (疼痛越来越剧烈。)句中的treatment和
27、后面的grew in intensity正好构成让步关系,故C为答案。gravity意为“重力,严重”,例如:He doesnt seem to understand the gravity of the situation. (他似乎没有意识到形势的严重性。)这个词不能用来指疼痛的严重程度,故排除;extent意为“范围,程度”,例如:I was amazed at the extent of his knowledge. (我对他渊博的知识感到惊奇。)该词用来指范围的大小,不用来指疼痛的强度,故排除;amount用来指不可数名词量的多少,例如金钱的多少,同样不符合语境,故排除。3.The
28、medical experts warned the authorities of the danger of diseases in the _ of the earthquake.A. consequence B. aftermath C. result D. effect(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。aftermath有“灾后时期,余波”之意,例如:the rebuilding which took place in the aftermath of the war意思是“在战后余殃中的重建”,此处是指地震之后可能出现的疾病问题,故B符合语句逻辑关系。in c
29、onsequence of与as a result of意思相同,都有“由于,因为的缘故”之意,表示产生的结果,但consequence前没有the。affect意为“影响”,与句子语境不吻合,故排除。4.In my first year at the university I learnt the _ of journalism.A. basics B. basic C. elementary D. elements(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。四个选项中B和C为形容词,由后面的of可以看出,这里需要填入名词,排除这两项。basics意为“基本知识”,例如:the
30、 basics of French grammar(法语语法的基本知识)。element意为“要素,原理”。句中提到了first year,表明这是基础阶段,因此学习基本知识更符合语境,故A为答案。5.According to the new tax law, any money earned over that level is taxed at the _ of 59 percent.A. ratio B. percentage C. proportion D. rate(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。这四个词都有“比,比率”的含义。ratio常用作数学术语,多以
31、具体数据体现两个关系平行的事物的数量之比,所涉及的两个比较项必须同时出现,句中只有59%,排除A。percentage多指部分在整体中所占的准确的百分率、百分比,既然句中已经出现了59%,显然这里不会再用percentage一词。proportion可指两个关系平行的事物在大小、数量、程度等方面的比例、比率、比重等,突出孰大孰小,也可指部分在整体中所占的比例,还常表示整体中各部分之间协调或和谐的关系,指匀称、平衡,常与介词in搭配,in the proportion of意为“按比例”,句中介词为at,故排除C。rate多指动态的率、比率、速率等,单指“率”时用rate,常用于构成复合短语(b
32、irth rate,death rate);多与介词at搭配,at the rate of.,故D为答案。6.Thousands of _ at the stadium came to their feet to pay tribute to an outstanding performance.A. audience B. participants C. spectators D. observers(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。spectator指“(到现场观看比赛的)观众”,而audience泛指“听众,观众”,从句中的at the stadium可以看出,这
33、里是指现场观众,故C正确。7.We stood still, gazing out over the limitless _ of the desert.A. space B. expanse C. stretch D. land(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。expanse意为“大片的土地、海域或天空”,句中gazing out over含有对什么感到惊讶、感叹、感慨而凝视的意思,这里limitless(无垠的)也就是形容沙漠的宽广,所以应该用B:expanse。而stretch是指“绵横的,延展的”,通常指狭长的区域,故排除。8.It is an offence
34、to show _ against people of different races.A. distinction B. difference C. separation D. discrimination(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。discrimination表示“歧视;辨别力”;distinction表示“差别,对比,区分”;difference表示“不同,差别”;separation表示“分离,隔开”。根据句意应选D:discrimination。9.The economic recession has meant that job _ is a rare
35、 thing.A. security B. safety C. protection D. secureness(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。security表示“保障,保护,安全,安全措施”,本句中更强调工作条件、环境、政策、前途等保障措施;safety虽然也表示“安全”,但侧重使身体健康不受伤害,也表示“平安”;protection表示“保护;防卫”;secureness表示“无忧无虑;牢固”。根据句意应选A:security。10.This is not the right _ to ask for my help; I am far too busy eve
36、n to listen!A. moment B. situation C. opportunity D. circumstance(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。moment表示“做某事的时刻、时机或瞬间”;situation表示“情况,情形,形势”;opportunity表示“机会,机遇”;circumstance常用复数,表示“情况,情形,境况”。根据句意应选A:moment。11.We realized that he was under great _, so we took no notice of his bad temper.A. excitement
37、B. stress C. crisis D. nervousness(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。stress表示“压力,紧张”,坏脾气一般与有压力有关,因此选B。excitement指“兴奋,激动”;crisis指“危机”;而nervousness指“神经过敏”,与句意不符。12.The majority of nurses are women, but in the higher ranks of the medical profession women are in a _.A. minority B. scarcity C. rarity D. minimu
38、m(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。minority表示“少数”;scarcity表示“不足,缺乏”;rarity表示“稀有,罕见”;minimum表示“最小值,最小量”。由于本句使用了转折连词but,所以应该在选项中找一个与majority意思相对的,故选A:minority。13.Since the early nineties, the trend in most businesses has been toward on-demand, always-available products and services that suit the customers
39、_ rather than the companys.A. benefit B. availability C. suitability D. convenience(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。convenience表示“方便”;benefit表示“利益,好处”;availability表示“有效性,实用性”;suitability表示“合适,适当”。根据句意应选D:convenience。14.The priest made the _ of the cross when he entered the church.A. mark B. signal C. si

Its not like either of them to bear a _.A. disgust B. curse C. grudge D. hatred(分数:2.00)A
41、.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。grudge表示“怨恨;恶意;积怨”,bear a grudge是习惯搭配,表示“含有怨恨”,符合题意;disgust表示“厌恶,憎恶”;curse表示“诅咒,咒骂”;hatred表示“憎恨”。16.The book gives a brief _ of the course of his research up till now.A. outline B. reference C. frame D. outlook(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.解析:解析 名词辨析题。outline表示“轮廓,提纲,概要”;reference表示“参考,参考资料;提及
