26、和治疗方法”，而A significance“重要性”，Cdiseases“疾病”，Dsymbols“象征”都不能与疾病(ailment)和治疗(cure)相对应，因此只有Bsymptoms“症状”符合文意。2.（分数：0.50）A.suffering B.resultingC.undertakingD.talking解析：本题的考点为与 from搭配的动词词义及用法辨析。能与 from连用的动词只有 suffer和result，suffer from 意为“忍受”，而 result from意为“由而起”。因此，Asuffering 符合文意。3.（分数：0.50）A.muchB.noneC
27、.allD.most 解析：本题的考点为对句子的理解和代词的用法辨析。空格后的 which指代的是 cues，为复数名词，所以Amuch 不合适；前句提到要依赖于提示，所以就不是都依赖于意识，所以Bnone 也不合适；Call“全部”的表达太过绝对。因此，只有Dmost“大多数”最符合文意。4.（分数：0.50）A.expression B.featureC.muscleD.characteristic解析：本题的考点为与 facial搭配的名词的用法辨析。与 words“言语”，gestures“手势”并列的词应为 facial expresstion“面部表情”，而不应该是 facial
28、feature“面部特征”，facial muscle“面部肌肉”或 facial characteristic“面部特点”，所以A项正确。5.（分数：0.50）A.freeB.manyC.lackD.full 解析：本题的考点为对句子结构的理解和形容词的词义辨析。空格前的形容词意为“宽宏大量的”，两者以 or相连，说明前后的意思相近，所以可知Dfull“充满的”符合文意，这里表示“充满了好意”。Afree“无的”，Clock“缺乏的”都与文章的意思相反：Bmany“很多的”，不能修饰后面的不可数名词，所以也不正确。6.（分数：0.50）A.which B.thatC.whenD.what解析
29、：本题的考点为非限制性定语从句指代词的用法辨析。本句的主语为 These cues，谓语为 are，所以空格处的词应为引导一个非限制性定语从句的指代词，根据空格后只缺主语的句子结构可知Awhich 符合文意。其余各项均不符合句子结构。7.（分数：0.50）A.situation B.communicationC.stateD.association解析：本题的考点为 situation的用法辨析。这里表达的意思是“我们要使自己熟悉日常生活的”，后面的内容补充道“什么时候握手，遇见别人时说什么，什么时候且怎样给小费”。由此可知这里说明的是日常生活中出现的情况，所以Asituation“情况”符合
30、文意。Bcommunication“交流”，Cstate“状态”和Dassociation“联系”都与文意不符。8.（分数：0.50）A.exposesB.enters C.receivesD.accepts解析：本题的考点为对句子大意的理解和动词词义的辨析。本句的大意为“现在当一个人一种奇怪的文化时，所有或大多数这些提示都消除了”，同时结合上下文所指的成为新文化中的一员，可知Aenters“进入”符合文意。Aexposes“暴露”，expose sb(sth)to“使某人(物)暴露于”，与文意不符；Creceives 和Daccepts 因强调“收到”和“接受”之意，所以也不符合上下文的意思
31、。9.（分数：0.50）A.troubleB.nuisanceC.worryD.anxiety 解析：本题的考点为对上下文意思的理解和名词词义的辨析。由上文可知，当一个人进入一种新文化环境，他的固有习惯、习俗都不存在了，那么他会感到挫折和焦虑。同时，frustration 和 anxiety由 and相连，表明两个词为近义词；而且上文也曾出现过描写此类感受的词 anxiety。因此，应选Danxiety“焦虑”。Atrouble“麻烦”，B nuisance“让人讨厌的人或事”，C worry“担忧”都不符合文意。10.（分数：0.50）A.learnedB.acquired C.acknow
32、ledgedD.received解析：本题的考点为近义动词的用法辨析。此处应选Aacquired“获得”，指在自然过程中不知不觉地学会。Alearned“(有意识地)学习”，Cacknowledged“承认”和 Dreceived“收到”均不符合句意。11.（分数：0.50）A.complain B.satirizeC.criticizeD.despise解析：本题的考点为动词词义和词性的辨析。本句意为“当外国人聚在一起，抱怨所在国家的文化和民族时，他们肯定是受到了文化冲击”。Bsatirize“讽刺”和D despise“鄙视”，语气都过重，不符合文意门；Ccriticize“批评”虽适合文
33、意，但为及物动词，不能和 about连用。因此，Acomplain“抱怨”为正确答案。12.（分数：0.50）A.depend B.accountC.lookD.consider解析：本题的考点为对句子结构的理解和动词的用法辨析。这句话表达的意思是“我们都数百个这样的提示来获得思维的平静和效率”，for 引导的介宾短语用来表示目的，空格处的单词应与后面的 on互相搭配，所以Adepend“依赖”符合文意。 Baccount“作出说明”，Clook“看”，Dconsider“考虑”都可与 for搭配，所以与文意不符。13.（分数：0.50）A.expectedB.predictedC.accel
34、erated D.anticipated解析：本题的考点为形近动词的词义辨析。Aexpected，Bpredicted 和Danticipated 为近义词，均有“期待”之意。而空格处的词是要描述一个客观发展的过程，所以Caccelerated“使加速”为正确答案。14.（分数：0.50）A.doB.make C.completeD.finish解析：本题的考点为 make组成的固定词组的用法辨析。make purchase 是一个固定词组，意为“购物”。其余动词都不能与 purchase互相搭配使用。15.（分数：0.50）A.plansB.methodsC.directionsD.ways
35、 解析：本题的考点为名词的词义及用法辨析。这里表达的意思是“使我们自己适应各种社会场合的一千零一种”，根据下文提到的握手、说话、给建议等事情的方式可推知该句主要是说人们社会中的一些方式，所以Dways“方式，手段”符合文意。 Aplans“计划”，Bmethods“方法”和Cdirections“说明，指示”用在文中都不合适。16.（分数：0.50）A.kindB.groupC.part D.type解析：本题的考点为名词的用法辨析。这里表达的意思是“这些提示如同我们所讲的语言或所接受的信仰那样大都是我们的文化的”，语言或信仰都该是文化的组成部分，所以Cpart“部分”符合文意。Akind“种
36、”，Bgroup“组”和Dtype“类”都与文章不符。17.（分数：0.50）A.differenceB.disagreementC.difficultyD.discomfort 解析：本题的考点为对文章内容的理解和名词的辨析。空格处的下一句提到“因为东道国的方式使我们感觉不好，所以它们是不好的”，由此可推知人们会排斥某种环境是因为它使他们感到不舒服，所以Ddiscomfort“不舒服，不适”符合文意。Adifference“区别，差异”，Bdisagreement“不一致”，Cdifficulty“困难”都与文意不符。18.（分数：0.50）A.knocked downB.knocked a
37、gainstC.knocked from D.knocked out解析：本题的考点为 knock组成的词组的意思辨析。这里表达的意思是“你身下的一系列支撑物都已被”，同时结合下文提到的随后你产生的一种挫折感，可知 Cknocked from“从中敲掉”符合文意。Aknocked down“拆散，撞倒”，Bknocked against“碰上，撞见”，Dknocked out“击昏，使震惊”都与文意不符。19.（分数：0.50）A.horizonB.degreeC.level D.latitude解析：本题的考点为与 on搭配的名词用法辨析。“在水平上，在地步”应为固定词组 on the le
38、vel of.，所以Clevel“水平”符合文意。Ahorizon“地平线；范围”，Bdegree“程度”，Dlatitude“纬度”均不符合文意。20.（分数：0.50）A.finiteB.strangeC.same D.familiar解析：本题的考点为对文章内容的理解和 same的用法辨析。该句后面的内容主要是讲人们面对挫折时的表现和反应，并没有提到不同类型的人会怎样，所以可推知人们大都是以相同的方式对挫败作出反应的。因此，Csame“相同的”，in the same way“以相同的方式”，符合文意。Afinite“有限的”，Bstrange“奇怪的”，Dfamiliar“熟悉的”都与
39、文意不符。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.The purpose of the author in writing the text is to（分数：2.00）A.criticize the consumers for not paying much attention to DTVs.B.illustrate the rapid development of US TV technology.C.show the present situation an
40、d vast market potentials of DTVs. D.compare the differences between traditional analog sets and DTVs.解析：主旨题。本文淡论的中心话题就是数字电视机的销售现状及其市场潜力，即C项所表达的内容。A“批评消费者不注意数字电视机”不是文章中谈到的内容，D“阐述美国电视机行业的快速发展”与文章的主题“数字电视机”不符，D“比较传统模拟电视机和数字电视机的差别”也与文章的主要论述内容无关，因而这三项都不正确。22.We can learn from the last paragraph that the
41、boost of DTV sales is NOT due to（分数：2.00）A.the improvement of their qualities. B.the falling prices of DTVs.C.the compatible program signals.D.the governments promoting measures.解析：细节题。文章最后一段主要介绍了分析师将数字电视机销售量的增长归功于价格的下降、节目信号的兼容以及政府采取的促销措施等几个方面，即题目中的B、C、D三项，而A“电视机质量的改进”则未在文中提及。23.From the beginning o
42、f the text, we can learn that（分数：2.00）A.the country has popularly accepted digital TVs.B.the retailers have a bad sale of DTVs except Christmas.C.the viewers still pay more money on old-fashioned TV sets. D.the government and industry are upset by the present market situation of DTVs.解析：推理题。文章第段开头虽然
43、提到零售商们在这个圣诞节期间正看到更大的数字电视机销量，这鼓舞了联邦管理者和该行业的士气；但接着第二句指出：政府和行业分析师们都对本国的电视观众将其注意力从旧式的模拟电视机转移到数字电视机的速度太慢表示担心。由此可以判断出虽然目前数字电视机的销售额正在增长，但消费者仍然在花更多的钱购买旧式的电视机，而不是去购买数字电视机，即C为正确选项。 A“该国已普遍接受了数字电视机”中的“popular”与第二句中的“slow”正好相反；B“零售商除了圣诞节，其他时候的数字电视机都卖得不好”并不能从文章第一句的意思中推出来；D政府和行业对目前数字电视机的市场情况感到很担忧”，第二句只是说明政府和行业对消费
44、者改用数字电视机的速度太慢表示担心，并不能说明他们对数字电视机的状况很担心。因此，这三项都不正确。24.The most important reason why DTVs sell less than traditional sets is that（分数：2.00）A.people are reluctant to abandon their old TV sets.B.the traditional sets are much cheaper than DTVs. C.the DTV retailers always close their doors at an early time.
45、D.people have been used to watching traditional analog TVs.解析：细节题。从文中第八段可以看出，当数字电视机上个世纪末刚刚上市的时候，价格通常都是几千美元，因此让很多消费者望而却步。由此可知，数字电视机的销量不如传统模拟电视机的最重要的原因应是B“传统电视机要比数字电视机便宜得多”。A、C、D三项都不是文章中提及的最重要的原因。25.Speaking of the number of digital televisions sold in 2003, the author implies that（分数：2.00）A.the more
46、complicated TV sets are, the more they are sold.B.most of the homes have bought different kinds of DTVs.C.the producers feel very discouraged to see these numbers about DTVs sales.D.the consumers are more and more interested in DTVs. 解析：推理题。文章第三、四段说明了数字电视机的销售情况，然后从第五段某发言人的话可以推出：消费者对数字电视机越来越感兴趣。因此D最符合题意。A“电视机越精密，其销量就越大”是与目前市场的现状正好相反的；B“大多数家庭已经购买了各种不同的数字电视机”也有违文中介绍的情况；C“制造商看到数字电视机的销售情况觉得很失望”与发言人所说的“令人鼓舞”恰好相反。六、Text 2(总题数：5，分数：10.00)26.The word “gusto“ (Line 2, Paragraph 5) may probably mean（分数：2.00）A.enjoyment. B.savor.C.interest.D.satisfaction.解
