(分数:20.00)_考研英语-405 答案解析(总分:100.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、Section Use of Eng(总题数:0,分数:0.00)二、Humans not only love(总题数:20,分数:10.00)1.(分数:0.50)A.includedB.includingC.
23、removed D.removing解析:本题的考点为动词的词义及语态辨析。上文提到糖分是不易消化的,那么这种食品应不含糖,所以空格处的词应含有“去除”的意思;另外,“糖”和“去除”的关系应为被动。因此,Cremoved“被去除”符合文意。其余各项都不符合文章的要求。2.(分数:0.50)A.swallow B.consumeC.digestD.exude解析:本题的考点为对上下文的理解和动词的词义辨析。结合上文内容可知此句意为狗很难消化冰淇淋里的糖分。因此,Cdigest“消化”符合文意。Aswallow“吞咽”,Bconsume“消费”,Dexude“分泌”都不符合文意。3.(分数:0.5
24、0)A.givingB.feeding C.sharingD.buying解析:本题的考点为动词的词义及用法辨析。这句话的意思是“人们不仅喜欢吃冰淇淋,他们还喜欢用它其宠物”,一般来说,人类是把食物喂给动物的,所以B feeding“喂”,feed.to.“用喂”,符合文意。Agiving“给”,其意思太宽泛,且不能表达人类和动物之间的这种喂养关系;Bsharing“分享”,一般用于 share sth with sb的结构中;Dbuying“买”,buy sth for sh“为某人购买某物”。因此这三项都不正确。4.(分数:0.50)A.contentmentB.satisfactionC
25、.funD.luxury 解析:本题的考点为名词的词义辨析。本句意为这种食品和冰淇淋一样,吃起来是一种享受。因此,Cfun“享受,有趣”符合文意。Acontentment“满足”,Bsatisfaction“满意”,Dluxury“奢侈品”,虽然也可用在本句,但意思不是最合适的。5.(分数:0.50)A.harmfulB.harmless C.effectiveD.ineffective解析:本题的考点为对上文内容的理解和形容词的词义辨析。通过上句中的 Nothing 一词可知,人吃了它什么事也没有,所以应该是无害的。因此,Bharmless“无害的”符合文意。Aharmful“有害的”,Ce
26、ffective“有效的”,Dineffective“无效的”都与文意不符。6.(分数:0.50)A.bargainedB.negotiableC.available D.displayed解析:本题的考点为对文章内容的理解和词性及词义的辨析。这里是要说明某物在商店可买得到,所以Cavailable“可买得到的”符合文意。Abargain“讨价还价”, Bnegotiable“可经谈判解决的”,Ddisplay“陈列”都与文意不符。7.(分数:0.50)A.temptationsB.attempts C.temperanceD.temps解析:本题的考点为名词的词义辨析。结合上文可知,本句意为
27、“做了两次努力,试图把这一发明推向市场”。因此,Battempts“试图”符合文意。Atemptations“诱惑物”,C temperance“有节制”,Dtemps“临时雇员”都不符合文意。8.(分数:0.50)A.please B.raiseC.trainD.comfort解析:本题的考点为对上下文的理解和动词的词义辨析。结合上文内容可知此句意为狗的主人有一种让狗高兴的愿望(所以给它们吃冰淇淋)。因此,Aplease“使高兴”符合文意。Braise“饲养”,Ctrain“训练”,Dcomfort“安慰”都不能用在这个语境里。9.(分数:0.50)A.extensively B.faith
28、fullyC.delicatelyD.intensively解析:本题的考点为对上下文的理解和副词的词义辨析。从后文提到的给 1,400 只狗试用此食物的事实可以看出,这一实验是很广泛的。因此,Aextensively“广泛地”符合文意。Bfaithfully“忠诚地”,Cdelicately“精致地”,Dintensively“集中地,紧张地”都不符合文意。10.(分数:0.50)A.trialB.try C.testD.practice解析:本题的考点为名词的词义辨析。根据前文的内容可知这里表达的意思是“第一次试用”,on the first try为固定搭配,所以Btry“试用”符合文意
29、。Atrial“试验,审判”,Ctest“测试”,Dpractice“实践”都与文意不符。11.(分数:0.50)A.costB.spentC.neededD.took 解析:本题的考点为动词的词义及用法辨析。这里表达的意思是“Tyznik 花了三年的时间”,It 为形式主语,three years 后的不定式短语为真正的主语,所以只有D took“花费”符合文中的结构。Acost“花(钱等)”,Bspent“花费(时间、金钱等)”,C needed“需要”都不能以 it作主语,所以都不正确。12.(分数:0.50)A.preferred B.comparedC.attributedD.rel
30、ated解析:本题的考点为动词的词义及用法辨析。这句话是说“四只狗里面有三只相对于 Mike-Bone或香肠而言_它(Frosty Paws)”,且该段第一句提到 Tyznik称 Frosty Paws 已广泛进行了验证并且狗喜欢它,由此可推知这里应表示相对于其他产品更喜欢 Frosty Paws的意思,所以Apreferred“更喜爱”,prefer.to.“相对于更喜欢”,为固定搭配,符合文意。Bcompared“比较”,compare.to.“把比作”; Cattributed“把归因于”,attribute.to.“把归因于”;Drelated“使相关”,relate. to.“把与联
31、系起来”。因此这三项都不正确。13.(分数:0.50)A.SurprisinglyB.Unfortunately C.ThereforeD.Initially解析:本题的考点为对上下文的理解和副词的词义辨析。前文说人们给狗吃冰淇淋,后文指出冰淇淋对狗没好处,因此应选BUnfortunately“不幸的是”来表示这种转折关系。ASurprisingly“令人吃惊的是”,CTherefore“因此”引导因果关系,D Initially“起初,开始”都与文意不符。14.(分数:0.50)A.bundlesB.parcelsC.packetsD.packs 解析:本题的考点为近义名词的词义辨析。这里表
32、达的意思是“产品(Frosty Paws)是以三至四杯的包装上市的”,所以Dpacks“包装”符合文意。Abundles“捆”,Bparcels“包裹”,Cpackets“小包裹”都与文意不符。15.(分数:0.50)A.providedB.whenC.thoughD.if 解析:本题的考点为连词的词义及用法辨析。这句话是说“_有人把 Frosty Paws 误认为是真的冰淇淋,会怎么样”,根据上文的表达可知这里表示的是一种假设,所以Dif 严如果”符合文意。Aprovided“只要”,Bwhen“当时”,C though“虽然”都与文中要表示的关系不符。16.(分数:0.50)A.recei
33、vedB.acceptedC.treatedD.offered 解析:本题的考点为动词的词义及语态辨析。本句的意思为“狗被_食物”,所以Doffered“提供”符合文意。Areceived 和Baccepted“接受”在这里不能用被动语态,所以这两项都不正确;Ctreated”款待”应该与 to连用,be treated to sth 表示“被款待,吃上了”。因此这三项都不符合题意。17.(分数:0.50)A.perfect B.superbC.excellentD.top解析:本题的考点为对文章内容的理解和词性的辨析。这四个选项中只有A perfect 可用作动词,意为“使完美”,符合文意。
34、Bsuperb“极好的”,Cexcellent“优秀的”,Dtop“顶端的”都与文意不符。18.(分数:0.50)A.oneB.otherC.aD.another 解析:本题的考点为对文章的理解和词性及词义的辨析。这句话是说“Tyznik 还发明了一种马食(称为Tizwhiz)和_狗食(称为 Tizbits)”,由第二段前两句可知, Tyznik 根据狗的特性和狗主人的需要发明了一种类似冰淇淋的狗食,叫做 Frosty Paws,因此这里提到的应是他发明的另一种狗食,所以Danother“另一的,别的”符合文意。其余三个选项不能表达文中的意思。19.(分数:0.50)A.Bothered B.
35、ImpelledC.AnnoyedD.Stimulated解析:本题的考点为对文章的理解和动词的词义辨析。由第一段可知,冰淇淋对狗来说并无益处,因为它们不能很好地将其消化,空格后又提到 Tyznik意识到狗主人想要使其伙伴高兴,所以 Tyznik对那种知识应该是感到很困扰。因此,ABothered“被烦扰”符合文意。BImpelled“被推动”和DStimulated“被激励”都不能与空格后的 but所表示的转折关系相呼应;CAnnoyed“被惹恼”不符合文中的情境。因此这三项都不符合文意。20.(分数:0.50)A.assemblesB.attachesC.packages D.labels
36、解析:本题的考点为对上下文的理解和动词的词义辨析。空格处前面的词为“生产产品”,后面的词为“用杯子”。由此可判断空格处应填Cpackages“包装”。A assembles“组装”,Battaches“附上”,Dlabels“标签”都不符合文意。三、Section Reading Co(总题数:0,分数:0.00)四、Part A(总题数:0,分数:0.00)五、Text 1(总题数:5,分数:10.00)21.Our knowledge of the pains animals feel can be obtained through(分数:2.00)A.an inference from
37、their words.B.study of their direct awareness of the pains.C.study of their reaction to pain causing stimuli. D.an inference from their behavior.解析:细节题。文章第一段提到:动物不能告诉我们它们的感受,我们可以通过研究它们怎样对使人产生痛觉的刺激物做出反应来获知这一点。由此可知C“研究它们对产生疼痛的刺激物的反应”符合文意。A“从其言语中推断”,B“研究它们对疼痛的直接意识”和D“从其行为中推断”均不是文章中提到的方法。22.The human ne
38、rvous system differs from that of animals in that(分数:2.00)A.man has more developed forebrain. B.man can feel pains while animals cant.C.man has different neural structures.D.mans mental life is in nature different from that of animals.解析:细节题。文章第二段中间部分明确指出人类的神经系统与低于人类的神经系统的区别主要在于人类有相当发达的前脑,而动物神经系统属于低
39、于人类的神经系统,所以A“人类有更发达的前脑”符合文意。B“人类能感觉到疼痛而动物不能”与本文主旨相矛盾,C“人类有着不同的神经系统结构”是对题意的重复,D“人类的精神生活在本质上与动物的不同”是对原文细节的歪曲。23.Pain is vital to the survival of human being and all mammalian because(分数:2.00)A.it can be found in vertebrates.B.it underlies mental life.C.it consists of nervous elements.D.it is a respons
40、e to harmful stimuli. 解析:细节题。文章第二段开头部分论证了疼痛具有使动物生存下去的生物意义;疼痛是对潜在的危险刺激物的反应。两者由 therefore“因此”连接,为因果关系,所以 D“它是对危险刺激物的反应”符合文意。A“它能在脊椎动物中找到”,B“它包含神经要素”和C“它构成精神生活的基础”都不符合文章的意思。24.The author seems to agree that(分数:2.00)A.animals may feel pain. B.only human beings can feel pain.C.we cant tel1 what pain mean
41、s to an animal.D.human beings can learn from animals to avoid pain.解析:主旨题。在文章的结论部分,作者指出“瞳孔、脉搏和血压的反应只有个别情况下是在没有经历痛感时发生,在未受损动物身上这些反应表明它们在经历疼痛”。因此,作者的观点应为A“动物可能会感觉到疼痛”。B“只有人类能感觉疼痛”与本文主旨相反,C“我们不能判定疼痛对动物意味着什么”和D“人类能从动物那里学会避免疼痛”未在文中涉及,也不是可以直接推出的结论。25.We can conclude from the last paragraph that(分数:2.00)A.
42、the reactions of the pupils are relevant to pain.B.the fact that animals see and hear has been commonly accepted. C.animals can feel pain in exceptional circumstances.D.its reasonable to suppose that animals dont feel pain.解析:推理题。文章最后一段第一句话提到“日常生活中我们把动物能听能看当作理所当然的事”,由此可得出结论:人们对这一事实是普遍接受的,所以B项正确。接下来作
43、者讲到瞳孔的反应有时在没有痛感时发生,所以A“瞳孔的反应与疼痛有关”过于绝对;C“动物在个别情况下感到疼痛”并未在文中提及;D“动物没有痛觉的假设是合理的”与原文意思相反。六、Text 2(总题数:5,分数:10.00)26.The word “flameout“ (Line 1, Paragraph 4) may probably mean(分数:2.00)A.extravagance.B.promotion,C.merger.D.resignation. 解析:语义题。从构词法角度看,此词为合成词:flame(火焰) + out(熄灭),即“熄火,中断”之意;另外,The continui
44、ng flameout 指的是上文传媒业高层经理持续不断的离职。因此,Dresignation“离职,辞职”符合文意。A“奢侈,浪费”,B“提升,促进”,C“合并”都与文章意思不符。27.According to the text, a good media CEO needs the following capabilities EXCEPT(分数:2.00)A.being skilled at business.B.having the ability to adjust before trends change. C.being expert in developing talent a
45、nd thoughts.D.having the ability to manage and create.解析:细节题。文章第八段和第九段对如何当好传媒业高层管理者进行了论述,其中涉及到在商业方面很擅长、在开发才能和思想方面很专业以及有能力去管理和创造,即题目中的A、C、D三项。文章第八段结尾处指出要根据趋势变化做出调整,所以B“在趋势变化之前进行调整”是不正确的。28.What caused the decline of media?(分数:2.00)A.There are no visionary executives.B.Corporate strategies are ahead o
46、f time. C.Many executives got caught in the late 90s.D.Many wise executives have left the media industry.解析:细节题。文章第六段指出很多经理人都沉浸在 90年代末传媒业的繁荣时期,因而给公司定制了超前的目标,这些公司恐怕还得过几年才能用到那样的战略目标。因此,B“公司的战略超前”符合文意。A“没有有远见的经理人”过于绝对,C中 got caught“被捉”是对原文中“got caught up in the boom”的曲解,D“很多明智的经理人已离开了传媒业”是该行业衰落引起的后果,而非原因,所以这三项都不正确。29.The biggest problem media executives are facing nowadays is(分数:2.00)A.the desire to combine. B.competition among cable TV.C.the collapse of media industry.D.the interferen
