21、Romans did not produce ambitious blueprints 【B1】_ the construction of ideal states, such as【B2】_to the Greeks.

26、ices and assemblies were created and almost none discarded.(分数:40.00)(1).【B1】(分数:2.00)A.withB.for C.inD.to解析:解析:考查介词辨析。空格处的介词与名词短语 the construction of ideal states 搭配,作blueprints 的后置定语,意为“的蓝图”。for 可表示对象、用途,意为“给,对,供”等,如 a book for children(儿童读物)。本句中,“建设理想国家”是“蓝图”的用途,因此 Bfor 正确。with和名词搭配常表示“具有特征”,如 a
27、woman with a hot temper(脾气暴躁的女人);with 和动词搭配常表示“用,以,借”,如 Cut it with a knife(用刀把它切开)。in 表示“以,用(语言,材料等)”,如 He spoke in a loud voice(他大声说话)。to 表示“到,达(某种状态)”,如 She tore the letter to pieces(她把信撕碎了。)三项均不符合题意。(2).【B2】(分数:2.00)A.temptedB.attractedC.appealed D.transferred解析:解析:考查动词辨析。空格处填入的动词应为不及物动词,与后面的介词
28、to 搭配。符合要求的只有 Cappealed,它常和介词 to 搭配,意为“(对某人)有吸引力,引起(某人的)兴趣”,故选 C。其他三项动词均为及物动词:tempt sbto do sth意为“诱惑、吸引(某人做某事)”;attract sbto sth意为“引起某人对某事的好感或喜爱”;transfer sbsthto意为“使转移,搬迁”,均不符合题意。(3).【B3】(分数:2.00)A.onB.forC.as D.about解析:解析:考查句子结构及介词用法。空格所在句子中出现了倒装结构,由于其宾语 intellectual exercises 的后置定语较长,因此将宾补 valuel
29、ess 提前。该句子的正常语序是 Roman theorists ignored,or rejected intellectual exercises_valueless。能够引出宾补的介词只有 Cas,如I respect him as a teacher(我尊敬他这个老师。)其他三项均不符合题意。(4).【B4】(分数:2.00)A.which B.thatC.whatD.it解析:解析:考查语法知识从句的引导词。空格上下文分别是两个结构完整的分句,无法仅仅用逗号连接。由此可知,空格所在部分是 in_引导的非限定性从句,修饰先行词 Platos Republic,in_在该从句中作状语。能
30、够指代名词,并和介词搭配的关系代词是 Awhich。that 不用在非限定性从句中;what 只能引导名词性从句;it 不能引导从句,均不符合题意。(5).【B5】(分数:2.00)A.turnedB.worked C.broughtD.made解析:解析:考查动词短语辨析。空格所在部分 was_out 是定语从句中的谓语,由于它是被动式,因此其逻辑宾语就是该从句的主语 the relationship。work out 意为“计算,算出;处理,解决;计划,思考”,work out the relationship 表示“想出或制定出(个人与国家之间的)关系”,符合语境,因此Bworked 为
31、正确答案。turn out 意为“制造,生产;关掉,熄灭”;bring out 意为“使显现,使表现出;生产,出版”;make out 意为“辨认;理解,明白”,均不符合题意。(6).【B6】(分数:2.00)A.specialB.specificC.peculiarD.particular 解析:解析:考查形容词辨析。选项中四个形容词为近义词。special 意为“特别的,专门的”;specific 意为“特殊的;明确的”;peculiar 意为“奇怪的;独特的”;particular 意为“不寻常的,特别的”,也意为“专指的,特指的”,这种用法的 particular 只用在名词前作定语,
32、与泛指相对。根据语境可知,空格处填入的形容词修饰 states or individuals,表示“特指的国家或个人”,与上文提到的“泛指的国家或个人”相对。因此应选 Dparticular。(7).【B7】(分数:2.00)A.existenceB.storeC.realityD.mind 解析:解析:考查固定搭配。have sbsthin mind 意为“心中有适当的人(或事情)等”,空格所在部分表达的含义是“对罗马有了非常清楚的想法”,因此应选 Dmind。其他选项都可以和介词 in 搭配:in store 意为“即将发生(在某人身上),等待着(某人)”;in existence 意为“
33、现存”;in reality 意为“实际上,事实上”,均不符合文意。(8).【B8】(分数:2.00)A.abandonedB.caughtC.separatedD.involved 解析:解析:考查动词辨析。空格所在部分是 even when 引导的让步状语从句,其中 it 指代上文的Roman thought(罗马人的想法),空格处填入的动词是谓语,其宾语是 religious and moral concepts。句意为:即使_宗教和道德概念,罗马人关于国家的想法也是具体的。Dinvolved 意为“包含;牵涉,牵连”,代入句中,表示“即使涉及宗教和道德概念”,符合句意,为正确选项。ab
34、andon 意为“放弃,抛弃”;catch 意为“染病;听见,理解”;separate 意为“分开,隔开”,均不符合题意。(9).【B9】(分数:2.00)A.toldB.held C.suggestedD.advised解析:解析:考查动词辨析。空格所在部分 was_为谓语动词的被动式,其主语是 The first ruler,不定式结构 to have作主语补足语。文中不定式的完成式 to have received 表明该动作发生在空格动词动作之前,根据句意,应选择 Bheld,表示“统治者被认为已经获得了”。be told to do意为“被命令、吩咐做某事”; be held to
35、bedo 意为“被认为是做”;suggest 不与不定式连用,因此不存在 be suggested to do 的结构be advised to do 意为“被建议做某事”,均不符合题意。(10).【B10】(分数:2.00)A.tendencyB.procedureC.development D.relation解析:解析:考查上下文语义与名词辨析。空格处填入的名词被 constitutional(立宪的,宪法的)修饰。tendency 意为“趋势,倾向”;procedure 意为“程序,手续,步骤”;development 意为“发展”;relation 意为“关系”。根据语境可知,句中表
36、示“宪法的发展”,因此答案为 Cdevelopment。(11).【B11】(分数:2.00)A.authority B.powerC.controlD.ruling解析:解析:考查上下文语义与名词辨析。authority 意为“权力,职权”;power 意为“控制力,操纵力;权力”;control 意为“控制”;ruling 意为“判决,裁定,统治”。由于上文提到,“统治者从神那里获得了权力(authority)”,因此空格所在句子的含义应是“宪法授予和管理该权力”,此外,下文也提到“行使权力(exercise authority)”,因此本题最佳答案是 Aauthority。(12).【B
37、12】(分数:2.00)A.officersB.menC.administratorsD.fathers 解析:解析:考查名词辨析。officers 指“官员”;men 指“男人们”;administrators 指“管理人员,行政官员”:复数形式的 fathers 一般指“祖先,先父”。下文的插入语 the familysenate 是空格处名词的同位语,其中 the family head 是对 father 的解释,senate(参议院)与 assembly(立法机构)在含义上相呼应。因此本题应选 Dfathers。(13).【B13】(分数:2.00)A.possessed B.cla
38、imedC.assuredD.enforced解析:解析:考查动词辨析。空格处填入动词,其主语是 the assembly of the fathers,宾语是 the religious character。Apossessd 意为“拥有;具有(特质)”,在文中可表示“具有(宗教特质)”,符合文意,为正确选项。claim 意为“要求,请求,主张”;assure 意为“保证,担保”,一般接sb作宾语;enforce 意为“强制执行,强行实施;强迫”,均不符合题意。(14).【B14】(分数:2.00)A.confirmB.conferC.consult D.consider解析:解析:考查动词
39、辨析。空格所在部分是 because 引导的状语从句,解释上文“先父们的立法机构拥有行使权力所必需的宗教特质”的原因。confirm 意为“确定,批准,证实”;confer 意为“授予”;consult 意为“咨询,请教”;consider 意为“考虑”。根据句意,Cconsult 正确,表示“向神寻求建议或启示”。(15).【B15】(分数:2.00)A.overB.alongC.on D.about解析:解析:考查动词短语辨析。move over 意为“挪开,让位置”;move along 意为“向前移动(以腾出空间)”;move on 意为“往前走;开始做(新的事情)”;move abo
40、ut 意为“不停地走动”。上文提到,“最初的参议院拥有行使权力所必需的宗教特质”,本句则提到,“参议员们将权利再进行分割”,显然,两个分句之间是“继续,接着”的含义,所以正确答案为 Con。(16).【B16】(分数:2.00)A.alternate B.differentC.variedD.several解析:解析:考查形容词辨析。空格处填入的形容词修饰 months。alternate 意为“间隔的,每隔(天的)”;different 意为“不同的”;varied 意为“各种各样的”;several 意为“几个,若干”。根据句意,司法官或总管官员拥有权力的时间应是“每隔一个月”,而不是“不
41、同的月”、“各种各样的月”或“几个月”。因此,Aalternate 为正确选项。(17).【B17】(分数:2.00)A.AndB.SoC.OrD.But 解析:解析:考查逻辑关系。空格处填入的连词表示所在分句与上文之间的逻辑关系。上文提到,参议院拥有权力,并将它下放到各级官员手中。空格所在部分是一个长句,其主干结构是 the achievement was to create the idea of continuingauthority(成就是创造持续的权力的概念)。authority 后是两个并列的分词结构,即 embodiedin 和 conferred作后置定语。由句意可知,本句仍然
42、在讨论权力下放的问题,但它强调这种权力不完全属于上层阶级,也需要大众的认可。因此在含义上本句出现了转折。选项中,DBut 表转折,为正确选项。And 表并列,So 表因果,Or 表选择,均不符合题意。(18).【B18】(分数:2.00)A.state B.countryC.peopleD.national解析:解析:考查习惯搭配。空格处的名词作定语,修饰 authority。本文一开始就提到罗马人关于国家理论的形成(Roman theorizing about the state)。文中多次出现了关键词 state。因此可推知,空格部分涉及的是应是“国家权力”。state authority
43、 是表达“国家权力”的习惯搭配,一般不用 country 或people,national authority 常表示“民族权力机构”,故答案为 Astate。(19).【B19】(分数:2.00)A.asB.when C.ifD.so解析:解析:考查连词辨析。空格处填入一连词,引导后面的从句,和空格前的过去分词一起在句子中作状语。该分词结构可以扩充为一个完整的句子,即 authority was conferred only_the mass of the people concurred,由于 as 和 so 都不与 only 连用,应排除。能与 only 连用的连词是 when 和 if
44、。 only when 引导时间状语从句,意为“只有在时候才”,如 Only when he read the newspaper did he know the story(只有在他看了报纸后他才知道那则报道。)only if 引导条件从句,多与现在时连用,意为“只有在条件下才”,如 Only if the red light comes on is there any danger to employees(只有红灯闪亮时才有危及职工的险情。)正确选项为 B。(20).【B20】(分数:2.00)A.dimensionB.complexity C.exerciseD.function解析:
45、解析:考查名词辨析。空格所在部分 with enormous_作状语,修饰 grew。dimension 意为“大小,规模,程度,范围”;complexity 意为“复杂性”;exercise 意为“活动,练习;行使,运用”;function 意为“功能”。下文 as 引导时间状语从句,说明了主语动作发生的背景和原因。“新的部门和立法机构被创造出来并且几乎没有任何一个被摈弃”导致的结果应该是“系统越来越复杂”,B 为正确选项。Nearly two-thirds of businesses in the UK want to recruit staff with foreign language
