32、一段提出话题， “据一项最新调查显示，现在的雇主们害怕他们雇不到符合要求的毕业生 ”， launch意思为 “发起一场运动 ”， submit意为 “提交，服从 ”， generate 生成， reveal 透露，揭露，显示。这里根据段意， reveal 最合适。 【小题 2】 . D根据句意，基本有一半的组织机构告诉调查者他们在努力寻找具有四个方面（科学、技术、工程和数学）才能的职员。这里 partners， audience, officials显然不符合题意。 【小题 3】 A这里和前面已经叙述的事实构成并列， “同时，更多公司预测，接下来的三年他们都将会遭遇雇员四缺现象（科学、技术、工
33、程和数学知识技能欠缺） ”，因此排除其他三项。选 while。 【小题 4】 B 由第二段句首 struggling 可判断，机构组织寻找这些人才非常不易，那么这种人才显然是不够的，短缺的。 absence是表示 “缺席，不在 ”，不能描述短缺，因此排除。此题的另一个关键是确定 experience的词性，动词。 【小题 5】 .A第三段用一句话简介经过工业联盟调查了 69个行业和组织，首先排除 D和 C， search是指搜查；细查某处以搜寻某人或某物，搜索；而 survey是指调查某部分人的行为、意见等（通常以询问方式进行），符合题意。 【小题 6】 .B根据上一题的意思，调查在公共和私人
34、部门中展开，后面一句的together暗示 and后面的这个空是和 “公共的 ”对立的，因此填 private。 【小题 7】 C 第四段描写了这 个调查的具体情况。有一半人 ，这里缺少动词，confront一般和 with连用， conform 符合，遵照， confuse 使混乱，使困惑，这里根据上下文的意思，雇主们都担心这种现象的发生，因此选 concerned, be concerned 担心的，烦恼的，忧虑的。 【小题 8】 . D本题考查词义辨析，三分之一的被调查者坦言他们可能顾不到符合相应资质的雇员，只有 recruit符合题意。 【小题 9】 .D根据句子结构判断，前半句是一个
35、伴随状语， “随着 的深入进行， 需求越来越强 ”，而不是条件状语或让步状语。 【 小题 10】 .B这里考查介词搭配。这里侧重于描述执行进展的计划的目的，选for。 【小题 11】 D本题考查词义辨析。根据前文，这种需求是不断增加的，intensify 增强，强化，变激烈； dominate指在 中占主导地位，这里并没有给出一个具体的范围，不符合句意。 enforce 实施，执行； stretch 伸展。 【小题 12】 .B本题比较简单，属于送分题。前卖第二段已经指出在四个方面技能欠缺，选项中显然只有 technical符合文意。 【小题 13】 A 这里考查短语固定搭配。 makea t
36、op priority 让 成为首要任务，当务之急。 【小题 14】 .D这里鼓励年轻人学习科学相关的学科，从倒数第二段也可判断。academy 学院，研究院； procedure 步骤，程序， thought 思想，不符题意，排除。 【小题 15】 .D这里考查考生对前后两个完整的句子的关系的理解，主句中的would是一个虚拟语气的标志词，据此代入选项 if，通读上下文，符合题意之后确定。 【小题 16】 .A词义辨析题。 rate评定某人、某事物的价值； order 命令，整理；discuss 讨论，论述， observe 观察，遵守。根据文意，雇 主们认为 A-levels中价值最低的学
37、科是心理学和社会学，因此选 rate。 【小题 17】 . B文章指出现在雇主们需要的是具备 Stem四方面素质的人才，因此许多雇主们不赞成对某一特殊学科的专业学位，而非 typical典型的， general一般的，或者是积极的 positive。 【小题 18】 .A词义辨析题。根据最后一句，该研究 “强调 ”对 的担忧 , focus一般和 on连用，其余两项意义不符。 【小题 19】 B词义辨析题。 “提高英国劳动力的基本技能 ”， masses 民众，faculty 全体教员， community 社区，团体；整篇文章都在讨论就业和雇佣，显然选 workforce。 【小题 20】
38、.C 考查定语关系副词。这个定语从句完整，由此判断缺少关系副词，首先排除 A,B两个关系代词 ,再根据意思排除 why。 Part VI Translation 考点：考查知识类完型 点评：本文介绍了雇主最喜欢雇佣的人所具备的品质。本文的质量较高，需要考生仔细研读文章内容。答题前一定要读懂全文，弄清文章要表达的思想，注意前后段落之间的关系。答题中，一定要认真分析，注意选项与上下文的关系，与前后单词的关系。对于一时没有太大的把握的题可以 放到最后再来完成，因为有时答案：可以从下文内容体现出来。答完后再通读一篇文章，看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺，语意连贯。 阅读理解 For six hours w
