20、se the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D.（分数：40.00）_解析：Salt, shells or metals are still used as money in out-the-way parts of the world today. Salt may seem rather a strange【C1】_to use as money, 【C2】_in countries where were the food of the people is mainly vegetable, it is o

25、_money will soon be found only in museums.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.objectB.articleC.substance D.category解析：解析：考查名词辨析。把原句简化为 salt is a(n)_就会一目了然了。盐是一种物质，所以选 Csubstance。object“物体，实物”；article“一件具体的物品或物件”；category“种类，范畴”，均不符合题意。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.but B.andC.soD.even解析：解析：考查逻辑关系。上半句提到了把盐这种物质作为钱来使用也许看
26、起来很奇怪，而下半句提到了在一些国家它又是必需品，由此判断上下句是转折关系，所以 Abut 为正确答案。and 为并列关系；so 因果关系；even 递进关系，均不符合题意，故排除。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.abstractB.advantageousC.abundantD.absolute 解析：解析：考查固定搭配。选对此题的关键是知道 absolute necessity 这一用法。Dabsolute necessity“绝对必要”是常用表达，符合题意，故为正确选项。abstract“抽象的”；advantageous“有利的，便利的”；abundant“丰富的，大量的”均不符
27、合题意，故排除。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.weightB.value C.roleD.size解析：解析：考查名词辨析。搞清楚 cakes of salt(盐饼)是用来做什么的，便可判断选哪个词。因为cakes of salt 是当钱用的，要标明的自然是其价值了，因此 Bvalue 为正确答案。此题有可能误选weight，但由于 cakes of salt 是用来当钱使的，所以 value 最合适。其余选项不符合文意，故排除。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.times B.eventsC.situationsD.conditions解析：解析：考查固定搭配。根据句意，介词 u
28、ntil 后应该跟表示时间的词，故选Atimes。events“事件”；situations“情形，状况”；conditions“条件，环境”。until 后只能跟times。故其余三项排除。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.evenB.alsoC.still D.never解析：解析：考查语法知识点时态。这是一个复合句，第一个主语(cakes of salt)的谓语用的是过去时态(were used)，说明 cakes of salt 一直用到最近为止；第二个主语还是 cakes of salt，而谓语是现在时态(buy)，说明它现在仍然可以用来买东西，故 Cstill 为正确答案。ev
29、en 和 also 表递进关系，不符合题意。用 never 就更不妥了。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.had been used B.are usedC.would be usedD.would have been used解析：解析：考查谓语动词的时态。sea shells 被当作钱来使用是过去(at some time 是过去时间)的事情，故 Ahad been used 为正确答案。are used 是一般现在时，不合适。would be used 是过去将来时，would have been used 是过去将来完成时，这两种时态要么用于虚拟语气，要么多用于间接引语中，这里均不
30、合适。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.andB.butC.yetD.or 解析：解析：考查固定搭配。at some time or another“曾经，一度”，为固定搭配，故 Dor 为正确选项。其他三项均不能构成此意，故排除。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.collected B.producedC.grownD.raised解析：解析：考查动词辨析。明确 These 是指 sea shells 后就能确定这里应填的动词是Acollected。to collect sea shells from the beach 意为“在海滩上捡贝壳”。produce“生产，制造”；grow
31、“种植，栽培，生长”；raise“饲养”，均不符合题意。(10).【C10】（分数：2.00）A.cityB.districtC.communityD.continent 解析：解析：考查名词辨析。from East to West 是指从非洲东部到非洲西部，而非洲是 continent(大陆)，故 Dcontinent 为正确答案。city“城市”；district“地区”；community“社区”。这三项均不能用来指非洲。(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）A.processedB.producedC.preceded D.proceeded解析：解析：考查语篇理解。此句话的意思是金属
32、出现在硬币之前，故 Cpreceded“在之前”为正确答案。process“加工，处理“；produce“生产，制造”；proceed“进行，继续做(某事)”，均不符合文意。(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）A.in spite ofB.instead of C.along withD.in line with解析：解析：考查语篇理解。上一句提到金属出现在硬币前，而此句说在许多国家人们还在使用不同形状的铁而不是纸币，故答案是 Binstead of“代替，而不是”。in spite of“尽管”；along with“连同一起”；in line with“符合，和一致”，均不符合文意，故排
33、除。(13).【C13】（分数：2.00）A.againstB.asC.inD.for 解析：解析：考查固定搭配。be exchanged for sth“用来交换某物”。为固定搭配，符合文意，故选Dfor。其余三个介词 against，as，in 均不能与 exchange 搭配，故排除。(14).【C14】（分数：2.00）A.often B.seldomC.reallyD.much解析：解析：考查副词辨析。本句的含义是中国早期的钱币通常是扁平状，所以选 Aoften。这句话里的副词强调的是大多数情况，所以其他三项不符文意，故排除。另外，根据常识也可以判断应用 often。(15).【C1
34、5】（分数：2.00）A.earlierB.earliest C.betterD.best解析：解析：考查语篇理解。根据下文说的三四千年之久(old)，表明这里应填表示时间的词；前面的定冠词表明这里应该用最高级。故选 Bearliest“最早的”。此外，破折号后出现的 earliest 一词进一步印证了答案。其余三项不符合文意，故排除。(16).【C16】（分数：2.00）A.replaced B.reproducedC.reflectedD.recovered解析：解析：考查动词辨析。此句话要表明的意思是“如今，硬币和纸币已经取代了几乎所有更别致的货币形式”，所以选 Areplaced。re
35、produce“再生产”；reflect“反映，反射”；recover“恢复”，均不符合题意。(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）A.sizesB.shapesC.formatsD.forms 解析：解析：考查语篇理解。文章前面提到了人们在过去用贝壳、金属等当成钱来使用，因而这些钱是不同的形式(form)，故 Dforms 为正确答案。sizes“尺寸，大小”；shapes“形状”；formats“设计，安排，格式”，均不符合文意。(18).【C18】（分数：2.00）A.whileB.although C.becauseD.if解析：解析：考查逻辑关系。根据 people still ke
36、ep it 和 it will soon be found only in museums可以确定应该用连词 although 引出让步状语从句，故 B.although 为正确答案。while 引导比较状语从句；because 引导原因状语从句；if 引导条件状语从句。均不符合文意。(19).【C19】（分数：2.00）A.eventsB.gatheringsC.occasions D.assemblies解析：解析：考查固定搭配。onoccasion“在场合”，为习惯用法，符合题意，故 Coccasions 为正确答案。gathering“聚会”和 assembly“集会”不与 cerem
37、onial 搭配。故排除。(20).【C20】（分数：2.00）A.originalB.primitive C.historicalD.crude解析：解析：考查形容词辨析。primitive money 指的是前文提到的原始的货币形式，故Bprimitive“原始的”为正确答案。original“最早的，最初的”，强调某事物的起源；historical“与历史有关的”；crude“天然的”，强调未经过加工的，均不符合文意，故排除。Nearly two-thirds of businesses in the UK want to recruit staff with foreign langu
38、age skills. French is still the most highly prized language, but Spanish and Mandarin speakers are more【C1】_ demand than in the past. Katja Hall, deputy director-general of Confederation of British Industry (CBI), said that, 【C2】_ the EU was the UK“s largest export market, it was no surprise to see
39、European languages so【C3】_valued. “【C4】_ with China and Latin America seeing solid growth, ambitious firms want the language skills that can【C5】_the path into new markets,“ she said.

43、ad risen from 16 per cent of all【C20】_ in 2009 to 22 per cent in 2013.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.onB.in C.ofD.with解析：解析：考查介词辨析。此处的句意为“法语仍是最受企业重视的外语，但与过去相比，企业对说西班牙语和汉语普通话的人才的需求有所上升”。此处所选介词需要与 demand 构成搭配。纵观选项，Bin与 demand 为固定搭配，意为“需要，需求”符合题意，为正确答案。其他三项均不能与 demand 构成搭配，故排除。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.given B.
44、providedC.supposedD.taken解析：解析：考查语法知识。此处的句意为“英国工商业联合会副总干事卡特娅霍尔表示，_欧盟是英国的最大出口市场，英国企业_重视欧洲语言并不出人意料”。根据后面的“重视、并不出人意料”，可知 Agiven“(表原因)考虑到”符合题意，为正确答案。其他三个选项，provided“如果，假如”，supposed“假定的”，taken“拿，接受”，均不符合题意，故排除。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.suddenlyB.constantlyC.highly D.strongly解析：解析：考查副词辨析。由上题可知，此处句意为“英国工商业联合会副总干事
45、卡特娅霍尔表示，鉴于欧盟是英国的最大出口市场，英国企业_重视欧洲语言并不出人意料”。既然前文已说“欧盟是英国最大的出口市场”，那么他们的语言自然会得到英国企业的高度重视。故 Chighly“高度地，非常”，符合题意，为正确答案。suddenly“突然地”，constantly“不断地，时常地”，strongly“强烈地”，均不符合题意，故排除。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.FurthermoreB.ThereforeC.MeanwhileD.But 解析：解析：考查逻辑关系。上一句讲到由于欧盟是英国的最大出口市场，所以英国企业高度重视欧洲语言并不出人意料。而此句大意为“_考虑到中国和拉
46、美市场正呈现稳步增长，拥有远大抱负的企业希望招聘那些拥有相应语言技能的人才”，很明显两句之间为转折关系。故 DBut 符合题意，为正确答案。Furthermore“此外，而且”表递进，Therefore“因此，所以”表因果，Meanwhile“同时，期间”表并列，均不符合题意，故排除。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.smooth B.openC.prepareD.stimulate解析：解析：考查动词辨析。此处句意为“拥有远大抱负的企业希望招聘那些拥有相应语言技能的人才，为进入这些新市场_道路，”，smooth the path 为固定搭配，意为“铺平道路，促进”，符合题意，故 Asmo
47、oth 为正确答案。open“打开”，prepare“准备”，stimulate“刺激”，均不符合题意，故排除。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.companyB.groupC.publisher D.association解析：解析：考查名词辨析。此处句意为“英国工商联合会和旗下拥有英国金融时报的培生教育_在 2014 年进行的年度教育与技能调查”，分析句子结构可知，空格所在处解释说明Pearson，Pearson 为世界上最大的教育出版机构，故 Cpublisher“出版社”符合题意，为正确答案。其他选项，company“公司”，group“集团”，文章中没有明确 Pearson 是公司还是集团，此外，这两项没有 publisher 切合题意，故排除。association“协会，社团”明显不符合题意。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.studiedB.found C.figuredD.estimated解析：解析：考查动词辨析。分析句子结构可知，空格处所填动词为整句的谓语，后面带有 that 宾语从句，主语为 survey，提取主干，此句为 survey_ that。联系上下文可知，空
