31、one of the driving forces behind the M it is _.（分数：0.50）A.firmB.company C.corporationD.enterprise解析：试题分析 本题为近义名词辨析题。 词义辨析 firm 意为“公司，商号”，常用于英国英语和口语中；company 意为“公司；同仁，陪伴，伙伴”；corporation 意为“法人团体”，在美国英语中指“股份有限公司”；enterprise 则是指“企业”。本题只有选项B中的“伙伴”符合题意。21.When any non -human organ is transplanted into a p
32、erson, the body immediately recognizes it as _.（分数：0.50）A.novelB.remoteC.distantD.foreign 解析：试题分析 本题为形容词词义辨析题。 词义辨析 novel 意为“新奇的，新颖的”remote 意为“遥远的；微不足道的”；distant 意为“远距离的；冷淡的；恍惚的”； foreign 意为“外来的；无关的；异体的”。根据生理常识，我们也可判断出此题正确答案为D。22.My favorite radio song is the one I first heard on a thick 1923 Edison
33、 disc I _ at a garage sale.（分数：0.50）A.trifled withB.scraped throughC.stumbled upon D.thirsted for解析：试题分析 本题为动词短语辨析题。 词义辨析 trifled with 意为“玩弄，戏耍”；scraped through 意为“擦过，勉强通过”；stumbled upon 意为“意外地发现，偶然发现”；thirsted for 意为“渴望”。由于那张唱片是在一次大甩卖的场所(garage sale)发现的，当然是很“偶然”，因此正确答案为选项C。23.Some day software will
34、 translate both written and spoken language so well that the need for any common second language could _.（分数：0.50）A.descendB.decline C.deteriorateD.depress解析：试题分析 本题测试形近动词的辨析。 详细解答 本题的四个选项中都有前缀 de，表示否定，但不一定直接否定。descend 意为“下来，下降；遗传”；decline 指力量、势力、数量或影响力等方面的“衰弱，下降”；它还有“委婉谢绝”的意思；deteriorate 则指病情、工作状况等
35、方面的“恶化，变坏”；depress 意为“使沮丧；压抑”。本题是指对外语需求的“下降”，那么只有B最合符题意。24.Equipment not _ official safety standards has all been removed from the workshop.（分数：0.50）A.conforming to B.consistent withC.predominant overD.providing for解析：试题分析 本题为形容词性后置短语辨析题。 词义辨析 conforming to意为“遵守或符合”；consistent with意为“与”，前后一致的”；predo
36、minant over意为“对占优势的”；providing for 意为“提供，供给；抚养”。只有不“符合”安全标准的物品才会被搬走，因此正确答案为 A。25.As an industry, biotechnology stands to _ electronics in dollar volume and perhaps surpass it in social impact by 2020.（分数：0.50）A.contendB.contestC.rival D.strive解析：试题分析 本题为动词词义辨析题。 词义辨析 contend 意为“竞争；斗争”，如果后接介词for 则表示为
37、某一目的斗争；如果后接介词 with 或 against，则表示与某人或某物竞争或斗争；contest为及物动词，后面直接跟竞争或斗争的对象；rival 也是及物动词，意为“可与竞争，与匹敌，比得上”；strive 是不及物动词，后接介词 against 或 with，表示“与斗争”，后接介词for，表示“为奋斗”。选项C含有“可与相媲美”之意，最符合题意。26.The authors of the United States Constitution attempted to establish an effective national government while preservin
38、g _ for the states and liberty for individuals.（分数：0.50）A.autonomy B.dignityC.monopolyD.stability解析：试题分析 本题为名词词义辨析题。 词义辨析 autonomy 意为“自治权，自主权”；dignity意为“尊严，高贵”；monopoly 意为“垄断，独占”；stability 意为“稳定，稳固”。根据题意，此空应填 autonomy，使得 autonomy for the states 与 liberty for individuals 并列，作 preserving 的宾语。27.For th
39、ree quarters of its span on Earth, life evolved almost _ as microorganisms.（分数：0.50）A.preciselyB.instantlyC.initiallyD.exclusively 解析：试题分析 本题为副词词义辨析题。 词义辨析 Precisely 意为“精确地；严格说来”，instantly 意为“立即地，瞬间地”；initially 意为“最初；开始”；exclusively 意为“专门地，仅仅”。根据题意，选项D为最佳答案。28.The introduction of gunpowder gradually
40、 made the bow and arrow _ , particularly in Western Europe.（分数：0.50）A.obscureB.obsolete C.optionalD.overlapping解析：试题分析 本题是形容词词义辨析题。 词义辨析 obscure 意为“无名的；模糊的；费解的；隐藏的”；obsolete 意为“淘汰的，废弃的；过时的”；optional 意为“可选择的，随意的”；overlapping 意为“重叠的；部分相同的”。根据题意，弓箭与火药比当然是“过时了”，因此正确答案为 obsolete。29.Whoever formulated the
41、 theory of the origin of the universe, it is just _ and needs proving.（分数：0.50）A.spontaneousB.hypothetical C.intuitiveD.empirical解析：试题分析 本题为形容词词义辨析题。 词义辨析 spontaneous 意为“自然的，自发的”；hypothetical 意为“假说的，臆说的，假定的”；intuitive 意为“自觉的”； empirical 意为“只凭经验的，经验主义的”。根据题意，该理论需要证明，当然只不过是“假说的”，因此D为正确答案。30.The future
42、 of this company is _: many of its talented employees are flowing into more profitable net - based businesses.（分数：0.50）A.at oddsB.in troubleC.in vainD.at stake 解析：试题分析 本题为介词短语辨析题。 词义辨析 at odds 意为“不一致”；in trouble 意为“处于困境之中”；in vain 意为“徒劳，白费力气”；at stake 意为“在危险中，濒于危险”。由于许多有才能的人才外流，公司的前途当然就“危险”了，因此正确的答案
43、为D。三、BPart Cloze Te(总题数：20，分数：10.00)A.as toB.for instanceC.in particularD.such as 解析：试题分析 本题考查对固定搭配的掌握。 详细解答 as to 意为“至于，关于”，用以转换话题；for in stance 用于举例，常引导句子；”particular 意为“特别地”，用来表示强调；such as 引导短语，用来列举，表示前后成份之间“整体与局部”的关系。根据句子的结构，选项D为正确答案。A.tightening B.intensifyingC.focusingD.fastening解析：试题分析 本题为动词词
44、义辨析题。 词义辨析 tighten 意为“抓紧，加强”；focus 意为“使集中”； fasten 意为“系紧，装牢”；intensify 意为“使强烈，使增强，加剧”，用来强调数量、活动或情感的增加。根据题意，选项 A为正确答案。A.sketchB.roughC.preliminaryD.draft 解析：试题分析 本题考查对固定搭配的掌握。 详细解答 a draft bill 是固定搭配。意为“一项草案”的意思。A.illogicalB.illegal C.improbableD.improper解析：试题分析 本题为形容词词义辨析题。 词义辨析 illogical 意为“不合逻辑的”；
45、improbable 意为“未必会的，似不可信的”；improper 意为“不合适的，错误的”；illegal 意为“非法的”。政府即将禁止向证人付款的行为，因此，推出新草案的目的必然是明确规定该行为属于非法。故选项B为正确答案。A.publicity B.penaltyC.popularityD.peculiarity解析：试题分析 本题为名词词义辨析题。 详细解答 publicity 意思是“引起大家注意；宣传”；penalty 意为“惩罚”；popularity 意为“流行，普遍，声望”；peculiarity 意为“奇异，特色”。从上文可知，政府将出台相应措施限制媒体报道有关案件。显然
