29、ler answer istheir own degrees ”构成了递进关系,进一步说明了大学在授予学位方面要优于学院,因此答案为 B。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 2 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 第 2段第 1句提到,学院通常要比大学小得多: “University CollegesBritish universities ”第 2段的第 3句开始叙述学院的起源:“Typically, the presentfrom TeachersColleges , ”句 2应当是具有连接作用的一句,而 B句提到 “但不仅是规模,并且还有其起源使它们不同于英国的大学 ”,因此 B句在这里具有
30、承上启下的作用。另外,句 B中的 “their”“them”与第 1句中的“University College and Institutes”相呼应,因此应选 C。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 3 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 句 3前面的一句开始叙述学院起源于师范学院,而 D句提到直到20年前,它们一直专门从事于教师的专职培训,因此 D句是对 “Typically, the presentTeachersColleges ”的延伸和发展。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选 择填空题 4 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 第 3段缺少的是主题句,其余内容提到就课程设置而言,重视与学校课程密切相
31、关的内容,像艺术和人文学科,而教师培训则是其专长,这些都是学院的特色,结合前文提到的学院发展于师范院校,可以断定 A项为正确答案。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 5 【正确答案】 F 【试题解析】 第 3段主要谈论学院因其起源而具有的特点,很明显 F项是与其密切相关的,是对学院特点的补充。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 6 【正确答案】 H 【试题解 析】 第 4段提到规模小自有其优点,句 H提到规模相对较小的学院有与大学一样的设备。 “The relatively small Universitythe bigger Universities ”与前一句 “Perhaps, ther
32、e isits own sake ”更加突出学院的优点:不像大学那样规模庞大,却与大学的设备一样好。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 7 【正确答案】 E 【试题解析】 空格前一句提到学院的教师和导师都是合格的,与大学里的教师和导师水平相当,而师资力量是判定一所 学校教学质量最重要的指标,也是家长和学生最关心的问题,因此, E句为正确答案。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 8 【正确答案】 G 【试题解析】 第 8句为结尾句。前面两句提到,质量有了保证,国际上对其的承认和与其他学位的比较都不成问题,其含义也就是让人们放心,学院的质量没有问题,因此在语意上, G句用一反问句来增强人们相信学院
33、教学质量的信心,很显然是正确答案。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 9 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 文章开 头提出一个问题: “语言是否也像食物那样是人类的基本需求,如果儿童在关键时期缺少它就会受到损害 ?”接着又回答说;从 13世纪Frederic I所做的试验来看恐怕是这样的。到此为止文章还没有说明 Frederic I是如何实验的。而句 C的内容为: “为了发现儿童在听不到母语的情况下将会讲什么语言,他让护士们保持沉默 ”。这正是 Frederic I所做的试验, “he”指的是Frederic I。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 10 【正确
34、答案】 A 【试题解析】 第 2段开始提到了试验结果:在一年内所 有的婴儿死去了。但作者接着提出,这不仅仅是因为缺少语言。 A句内容为:缺少的是母爱的呵护,这正是对 “But clearly thereof language here ”的补充。并且后句提到 “Without good mothering,” 因此答案应为 A。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 11 【正确答案】 H 【试题解析】 第 3段开头提到,如今不再有如此残忍的事情出现了,其言下之意是孩子们应该能够有条件学习语言,句 H: “然而,一些孩子在掌握语言方面仍然滞后。 ”与之形成转折关系,句 H陈述 一个事实,后文是对这
35、一现象的解释,是因为做妈妈的对婴儿学习语言的信号不敏感。应选 H。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 12 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 在第 4空格的前一句提到,如果错过了学习语言的最佳时期,再学就困难多了,句 B提到,如果鸟儿错过了学习唱歌和飞翔的正确时间,再要掌握这些技能就很困难了,句 B用鸟的例子进一步说明最佳学习时期的重要性,是对作者观点的进一步论证。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 13 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 第 4段第 1句提到学习讲话是有 固定的、持续的顺序和阶段的,也就是说一般的儿童都会按照这个规律习得语言。第 5空格的句意为: “有的孩子开始说话晚,却有很高的
36、智商。 ”这也是关于儿童学习语言的时间问题,说明前面所说的规律并不是绝对的, “but”起语意上的转折作用。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 14 【正确答案】 G 【试题解析】 第 4段主要介绍儿童学习语言的不同阶段及时间分布,提到在第12周时, 12个月时, 18个月时婴儿分别具备哪些能力。而句 G介绍在三四岁时儿童具备的语言能力,很显然与前句具有时间上的衔接性,因此选 G。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 15 【正确答案】 E 【试题解析】 第 5段提到最新的一项发现,即婴儿天生具有讲话的能力,人的大脑不同于猴子的大脑,它有一套复杂的系统,能够使儿童把所看到和感觉到的玩具熊同声音形
37、式 “toy bear”联系起来。 E句意为:儿童大脑更令人难以置信的能力是,能够从周围各种声音中辨别出语言去分析,并能以新的方式重新组织语言片断,句 E与第 5段第 2句都是关于儿童大脑所具备的能力,它们在语意上是相关的,因此应选 E。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 16 【正确答 案】 F 【试题解析】 最后一段缺少的是结尾句。最后一段的内容主要为:对语言的掌握是需要引导的,这依靠母亲与婴儿的交流,母亲需要识别孩子咿呀学语、抓东西以及笑的信号。如果母亲对这些不敏感就会影响母婴之间的交流方式,因为婴儿得不到鼓励便只会发出一些明显的信号。这段文字的中心大意为: “对婴儿发出的各种信号要及时
38、了解并加以回应,这会促进婴儿对语言的掌握。 ”句 F:对儿童非语言信号的敏感性对语言掌握的成长和发展很关键,符合这一段的内容,因此选F。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 【知识模块】 逻辑 分析选择填空题 17 【正确答案】 H 【试题解析】 本文首段讲述了复活节的来历。空格处的前句说 “部分来自于人们庆祝春天来临的传统 ”, H选项与空格前句构成排比句,解释说明了复活节的由来。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 18 【正确答案】 F 【试题解析】 此段讲的是复活节名字的来历。由空格前句内容可推知答案为 F。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 19 【正确答案】 G 【试题解析】 此段讲的
39、是复活节的具体时间。由空格前句内容可推知答案为 G。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 20 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 空格前句说: “庆祝复活节的许多习俗与传说都与基督教无关。 ”空格后句说: “用鸡蛋庆祝复活节的习俗与传统已经有几百年的历史了。 ”A选项既承接上句,又呼应了下文。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 21 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本段主要讲述了复活节鸡蛋的最初用途 参加比赛或作为礼物。C选项是一项举例,用来说明它的用途。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 22 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 此段讲的是不 同的文化有其独特的复活节彩蛋装饰方法,并列举了希腊的情况,因此,此处也应是具体例子, D项正确。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 23 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 此题重点词是 “hollow eggs”,上文提到德国等国装饰空蛋壳的方法,而 B项说的是亚美尼亚人的做法。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题 24 【正确答案】 E 【试题解析】 由上文知,此段应讲述鸡蛋作为复活节庆祝一部分的来历。而且从下文 “Today, children hunt ”,从时间的提示词 “today”可推知应选 E。 【知识模块】 逻辑分析选择填空题
