21、办法帮助解决这个问题，前后相联系，可知选项 F 最符合逻辑。2 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 根据空格所在段落主题句“Dont spoil your speech by confusing one speaking rolewith another(不要因混淆演讲角色而破坏你的发言)”，可知选项 B最符合逻辑。3 【正确答案】 E【试题解析】 根据空格前“Then ，summarize this information in a few words”然后，用几句话总结这个信息，以及空格后“And most important，be brief，(而最重要的，要简洁)”，两者相联系，可知选项 E
22、 最符合逻辑。4 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 根据空格前内容：如果你做一次讲座或讲解一个想法，你可以尽可能多的收集主题方面的事实，花大量的时间做你的研究。并结合空格后的信息：使用尽可能多的例子，如果能更清楚地表达你的观点也可使用图片或图表，可知选项D 最符合逻辑。5 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 根据空格后“Dont talk over their heads，and dont talk down to them(不要弄得深奥难懂，也不要用高人一等的口气说话)”，以及紧随空格前的内容：使用尽可能多的例子，如果能更清楚地表达你的观点也可使用图片或图表，可知选项 C 最符合逻辑。二、填词补文6
23、【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 介词 under 后需要接名词。备选单词有四个名词：issue 意思是“问题”，professor 意思是“教授”，influence 意思是“ 影响”，debate 意思是“争论”。文章标题是“关于英语语言的争论”，此句作为第一段的主题句开门见山就提起了这个话题，与文章标题相照应，此处填 debate 既适合句意又符合语法，因此此处应选C。7 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 此处需要填一个动词作谓语。备选单词中只有两个动词：passed 意思是“通过”，saw 意思是“看见”，很显然，saw 放在这儿句子根本读不通，故排除；passed 适合句意：“上周美国参议院
24、通过了两个宣言”，因此此处应选 B。8 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 此处缺少主语，冠词 the 后需要接名词。第一题已经分析过四个名词的区别，debate 已经用过，现剩下 professor，issue 和 influence。第一段最后一句提到过“美国人发现他们在语言这个问题上有分歧”，提到了 on the issue，此处再次强调这个问题具有争议性，故 issue 最适合句意，因此此处应选 A。9 【正确答案】 G【试题解析】 此句上一句出现过 is related to(与有关系)这个词组，分析此句，这儿缺少一个形容词，而且要与 to 搭配，所以此处填 related，因此此处应选
25、G。10 【正确答案】 H【试题解析】 此句需要填一个名词作宾语。备选单词中四个名词已用了 debate和 issue，现只剩下 professor 和 influence，很显然 professor 放在此处句意不通，political and economic influence 是经常出现的搭配，此句意思是“担心谁将继续持有政治和经济的影响力”，因此此处应选 H。11 【正确答案】 I【试题解析】 此处需要填一个动词作谓语。备选单词中只有两个动词：passed 意思是“通过”，在第二题中已选过，因此排除，只剩下 saw；此外，此题还可以从另外一个角度选出答案，seeas 是固定词组，意思
26、是“把视为，把看作”，此句意思是：“因为立法者把它视为保皇主义者试图解释个人的行为”，因此此处应选 I。12 【正确答案】 K【试题解析】 此处需要填一个形容词作定语修饰 language，现剩下三个形容词：national 意思是“国家的，民族的”，international 意思是“国际的”，comfortable 意思是“舒服的”，根据上下文意思，可排除 comfortable，international 是个干扰项，本文讨论的是英语作为美国的国家语言，而不是国际语言，因此此处应选 K。13 【正确答案】 L【试题解析】 系动词 feel 后面需要接形容词作表语，上一题已经分析过几个形容
27、词，现只剩下 international 和 comfortable，international 只是个干扰项，此句下一句提到了 discomfort，这两句是对比句，所以此处填 comfortable 比较合适，因此此处应选 L.14 【正确答案】 J【试题解析】 冠词 a 后面要接名词。备选单词中的四个名词只剩下 professor 了，很明显判断 WaltWolfram 是一个来自大学的教授，因此此处应选 J。15 【正确答案】 E【试题解析】 other than 意思是“除了之外” ，此句意思是：“除了英语之外，在美国，3700 万人讲别的语言”，another 只是个干扰项，因此此
28、处选 E。三、完形补文16 【正确答案】 approximately【试题解析】 本句句法完整，成分没有任何缺失。提示词形容词 approximate 放在此句空白处显然不合适，因此把它加上后缀一 ly 改成副词 approximately 来修饰整句符合句意和语法。17 【正确答案】 possibilities【试题解析】 本句空白处放在定冠词 the 后面，另外观察本句句法可以发现主语并不完整，因此需要根据句意把提示词形容词 possible 去掉尾字母一 e 加上后缀一ity 改为名词 possibility。从 seem 可以看出，本句谓语是复数形式，因此作为主语的 possibili
29、ty 应改为复数形式 possibilities。18 【正确答案】 infinite【试题解析】 本句空白处放在 seem 后面提示需填入形容词。根据文章语境，后一句为表达转折的语句“However，we do communicate(success)from time to time”，因此提示词形容词 finite(有限的)加上前缀 in 一改为 infinite(无限的，无穷的)即可。19 【正确答案】 successfully【试题解析】 本句句法完整，成分没有缺失。空白处放在动词 communicate 后面，可以推测用副词来修饰该动词或是整个句子。因此将提示词名词 success
30、 加上后缀一 ful 改成形容词，再加上后缀-ly 改成副词 successfully 即可。20 【正确答案】 mysterious【试题解析】 本句空白处放在名词 process 前面以及副词 very 后面，显然需要一个形容词来修饰名词 process。因此，把提示词名词 mystery 去掉尾字母一 y 变一i 加上后缀一 ous 改成 mysterious 即可。21 【正确答案】 imitation【试题解析】 本句空白处放在 and 前面提示空白处所需成分应和 and 后面连接的成分一致，association 为名词，因此，将提示词动词 imitate 去掉尾字母-e 加上后缀
31、一 ion 改成 imitation 即可。22 【正确答案】 meaningful【试题解析】 本句空白处放在名词 sentences 前面提示需填入形容词，把提示词名词 meaning 加上后缀一 ful 改成形容词 meaningful 即可。23 【正确答案】 unlearned【试题解析】 分析句法可以看出，本句空白处的语法逻辑实际上在 he 动词 are后面，即需要形容词来补充完整。另外，根据语境“Because young children can make sentences they havenever heard before”和提示词动词 learn，得出空白处应是“未曾
32、学习过的”更符合语境。因此，把提示词 learn 加上后缀一 ed 改为learned(学习过的)，再加上否定前缀一 un 改为 unlearned(未曾学习过的)即可。24 【正确答案】 creative【试题解析】 此句空白处放在 and 后面提示所需词汇应和 and 前面的词汇在语法逻辑上保持一致，unique 和 unlearned 均为形容词。因此，将提示词 create 去掉尾字母一 e 加上后缀一 ive 改为 creative 即可。25 【正确答案】 universal【试题解析】 本句空白处放在名词 language 前面以及不定冠词 a 后面提示需填入形容词，因此，把提示
33、词名词 universe 改为形容词 universal(通用的，普遍的)即可。四、短文写作26 【正确答案】 My View on Job-ChangingPeople have different attitudes towards their work. Some prefer to stick to one occupation as their lifelong career. These people are of the options that one can never do his work well unless he is devoted to only one job
34、 in his lifetime. So if one changes his job frequently, he will not get the necessary experience needed in his work.Others, on the other hand, like to change their jobs at times. In their opinion, people work in order to make more money. If they have a chance to get a better paid job, they will cert
35、ainly try to get this chance. Besides, if a person does only one job all his life, he will certainly be bored with it.My idea is that interest is the most important if one wants to excel others in his job. So if a person is not interested in his job, job-changing is normal and even necessary. Otherwise, he will suffer from his work, and inevitably, he is not likely to succeed in his career.
