22、0)_全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语真题 2006 年答案解析(总分:100.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、BSection Use o(总题数:20,分数:10.00)A.Indeed B.LikewiseC.ThereforeD.Furthermore解析:试题分析 这道题考查对上下文句子关系的把握。 详细解答 无家可归者占美国人口的比例越来越大,_,无家可归者的比率已经增加到了地方政府都无法应对的地步。这里选 Indeed(确实),表示强调关系。注意 such 在这里隐含强调的意味。A.standB.cope C.approveD.retain解析:试题分析 这道题考查动词的使用。 详
23、细解答 这里表示第一句中提到的问题已经让地方政府无法应付了,因此选择 cope(应付,应对)。A 选项 stand 表示“容忍”,C 选项 approve 表示“同意”。D 选项 retain 表示“保留”,均不合题意。A.inB.forC.withD.toward 解析:试题分析 这道题考查介词的使用。 详细解答 本句表示“帮助无家可归者走向独立”,故选择 toward。本题的干扰项是 C 选项的 with。虽然我们学过 to help sb. with sth,这样的句型,但该句型表示的是 “在方面帮助某人”的意思,如 help me with my painting(帮助我学习英语),h
24、elp me with my exercises(帮助我做作业)。A.raise B.addC.takeD.keep解析:试题分析 这道题考查动词的搭配。 详细解答 这里表示“提高最低工资待遇”,只有当人们能够挣到更多的钱时,无家可归的人才会减少,故选 raise。选项 B“add”也表示增加,但当表达提高工资时,我们使用 raise,而不用 add。A.GenerallyB.AlmostC.HardlyD.Not 解析:试题分析 考查对文章上下文意思的连贯。 详细解答 本题四个选项中,generally 和 almost表示肯定含义,hardly 和 not 表示否定。根据上下文,本句说的是
25、“并非每个人都同意”,所以排除 A和 B。同时,hardly 只能与 any one 等词搭配,表示“几乎没有任何人”,不能与 everyone 搭配,故正确答案为 not。Not everyone agrees.表示“不是每个人都同意”的意思。A.coverB.changeC.range D.differ解析:试题分析 考查动词的含义。 详细解答 本句意思为“预测数字的范围大约从 60 万到 300 万之间”,“从到”一个范围,使用 range fromto的句型。干扰项是 A 选项的 cover,但 cover 表示“覆盖”,不表示变化的范围。D 选项 differ 主要强调不同,而本句并
26、未强调不同。而是强调范围故选择 range。A.Now thatB.Although C.ProvidedD.Except that解析:试题分析 考查上下文意思的连贯。 详细解答 第一句话表示的意思是一个让步意义,即,“虽然对这一数字人们意见不一,但人们却都同意另外一个事实”,因此选择 although。其余选项不合题意。A.inflatingB.expandingC.increasing D.extending解析:试题分析 本题为词汇辨析题。 详细解答 四个选项都表达“增加,扩张”的含义,但由于本句主语为 the number,因此只能搭配 increase。A 选项 inflate 表
27、示“膨胀”,B 选项 expand 表示“在面积上扩张、延伸”,D 选项 extend 表示“在长度上延伸”。A.predicts B.displaysC.provesD.discovers解析:详细解答 在理解上下文的基础上,判断本句表示的是“预测”,故选择 predict。D 选项的discover 为:干扰项从汉语的角度似乎说得通,即,“研究发现”,然而,若说“发现”,后边的宾语从句只能使用一般现在时,如发现了一个什么规律等。但本句后边使用的是将来时,所以应为“预测”。A.assist B.trackC.sustainD.dismiss解析:试题分析 本题为词汇辨析题,有一定的难度。 详
28、细解答 这句话的宾语是 population(人口),A 选项的 assist 表示“帮助”,B 选项的 track 表示“跟踪”;C 选项的 sustain 表示“维持,使继续活下去”;D 选项的 dismiss 表示“解散,让离开”:后面主要讲如何维持住这些无家可归者们的稳定,不仅要给他们吃住,还要解决他们其他一系列的问题,这就暗示前面的主题句讲的是帮助无家可归者。A.HenceB.ButC.Even D.Only解析:试题分析 考查连同的使用, 详细解答 根据题意,本句是让步的意思,“即使当他们有吃有住,他们仍然会”,所以选择 C 选项的 even。A.lodgingB.shelter
29、C.dwellingD.house解析:试题分析 本题为词汇辨析题。 详细解答 四个选项都有“住房”、“住处”的意思,但 B 选项的 shelter 除了表示“藏身处”之外,还有“保护”的意思,而下文明显有此含义。故选择 B。A 选项lodging 指的是“住宿”,如 Looking for lodging(住宿)is the most important and the hardest thing for over seas students找房子对留学生来说可说是最重要,也是最麻烦的事。C 选项 dwelling住宅。A.searchingB.strollingC.crowdingD.wa
30、ndering 解析:试题分析 本题同样为词汇辨析题。 详细解答 主要要区分 B 选项 stroll 和 D 选项 wander。 stroll 表示“闲逛悠闲地散步”,指的是有目的的去散步;而 wander 则表示“徘徊,乱逛”的意思,很明显,wander 更符合题意。A.whenB.onceC.while D.whereas解析:试题分析 这道题也是考查连词的使用。 详细解答 本句表达让步,“虽然许多人。”,但是”,可以使用 although/though,但选项中并未提供这两个词,但我们知道 while 也可以用来表达although 的意思,故选择 C 选项的 while。A.life
31、 B.existenceC.survivalD.maintenance解析:试题分析 这也是一个词汇辨析题。 详细解答 主要是区分 life skills 和 survival skills,前者表示“生活能力”。后者表示“生存技能”,由于文章讨论无家可归者的基本生活问题,没有设计生存的问题,故应选择 A 选项。A.around B.overC.onD.up解析:试题分析 本题为词组搭配。 详细解答 turn around 表示“转过身”,也可以指抽象的含义“出现转机”;turn on 表示“打开”等意思,turn up 表示“出现”等意思,turn over 表示“翻转”。本句煮思应该为“他
32、们缺乏生存技能来改变自己的生活”,也就是说将生活“出现转机”,故选择 A 选项的 turn around。A.complexB.comprehensive C.complementaryD.compensating解析:试题分析 这也是一道词汇辨析题。 详细解答 本句题意为“全而的规划”,所以用 B 选项的 comprehensive。A 选项 complex 指“复杂的”;C 选项 complementary 指“互补性的”;D 选项compensating 指“补偿的”,所以均不合题意。A.SoB.SinceC.As D.Thus解析:试题分析 这是一道理解题。 详细解答 根据上下文的意思
33、,正如说的那样,用 as sb. puts it 句型。A.puts B.interpretsC.assumesD.makes解析:试题分析 本题和上题一样。A.supervisionB.manipulationC.regulationD.coordination 解析:试题分析 这也是一道词汇辨析题。 详细解答 本句强调各种计划中的协同,故选择 D 选项的 coordination。A 选项的 supervision 意思为“监督,管理”,B 选项的 manipulation 意思为“操纵”,C 选项的 regulation 意思为“调节,校准”,均不合题意。二、BSection Readi
34、(总题数:5,分数:10.00)21.The word “homogenizing“ (Line 1 , Paragraph 1) most probably means _.(分数:2.00)A.identifyingB.associatingC.assimilating D.monopolizing解析:试题分析 本题是一道词义题。 详细解答 因为原文首句开始的 in spite of 表示转折关系,就是说 homogenizing 与前面的 difference 在上下文中构成反义词,在四个选项中能与 difference 构成反义词的只有 assimilate。当然从后文也能看出文章中
35、的重要词 assimilate 是 homogenizing 的同义词。另外,在后半句的解释中出现“uniformity”,易知是“homogenizing”的同义替换。通过上下文我们就能知道“homogenizing”应该是同化,一致的意思。22.According to the author, the department stores of the 19th century _.(分数:2.00)A.played a role in the spread of popular culture B.became intimate shops for common consumersC.sa
36、tisfied the needs of a knowledgeable eliteD.owed its emergence to the culture of consumption解析:试题分析 本题是一道细节事实题。 详细解答 根据其中的关键词 department stores of the 19th century 定位一段,再根据原文排除可以推出 A 是对的。B 和 C 明显与原文相反,而 D 和原文意思因果颠倒,乍一看都是文中讲述过的,但是他把原因作结果讲了,因此也是错误的,这需要考生仔细阅读选项。因此该题选 A。另外根据我们的解题思路无法确定就和文章或者段落的主题相联系,哪个最
37、接近,那个就是正确答案。23.The text suggests that immigrants now in the U. S. _.(分数:2.00)A.are resistant to homogenization.B.exert a great influence on American culture.C.are hardly a threat to the common culture. D.constitute the majority of the population.解析:试题分析 本题是一道推理题。 详细解答 问题问文中暗示现在美国的移民如何?二段首句的特殊结构 notb
38、ut 就告诉了我们现在美国移民的特点;能融入共同文化(common culture),表达这一意思的选项只有 C。选项 A 与二段第二句“nor resistant to assimilation”明显相反;选项 B 与二段首句“not be altogether elevating”相反;选项 D 是一个文中未提及的信息;选项 C 就是二段首句“but is hardly poisonous”的同义替换。24.Why are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks mentioned in Paragraph 5?(分数:2.00)A.To prove
39、their popularity around the world.B.To reveal the publics fear of immigrants.C.To give examples of successful immigrants.D.To show the powerful influence of American culture. 解析:试题分析 本题是一道细节事实题。 详细解答 也就是说举这两个人为例是为了说明美国文化的巨人影响。“children in remote villages around world are fans of superstars”说明文化已经影响到
40、了全世界每一个偏僻的角落,当然 D 就是正确答案。A 选项还是具有一定的诱惑性,但是由于其中没有出现文章的核心概念“文化”,因此可排除。B 和 C 明显与原文意思相反。25.In the authors opinion, the absorption of immigrants into American society is _.(分数:2.00)A.rewardingB.successful C.fruitlessD.harmful解析:试题分析 本题是一道作者态度题。 详细解答 题目问作者对美国吸收移民的观点是什么。文章第二段第一句话“Immigrants are quickly fit
41、ting into this common culture,which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous”中谈到移民融入美国文化“is hardly poisonous(=is hardly harmful)”,所以 D 不能选。而实际上作者从好几个方面讲到了美国吸收移民的成功,比如说移民到第三代的时候基本上忘掉了原来的语言,新移民的家庭一般高于 50%的人都拥有自己的房子等等,所以选 B。三、BText 2/B(总题数:5,分数:10.00)26.From the first two paragraphs, we
42、learn that _.(分数:2.00)A.the townsfolk deny the RSC s contribution to the towns revenue B.the actors of the RSC imitate Shakespeare on and off stageC.the two branches of the RSC are not on good termsD.the townsfolk earn little from tourism解析:试题分析 这是一道细节题。 详细解答 文章第一段就讲到镇上的居民否认剧团对于小镇收入的贡献。27.It can be
43、inferred from Para 3 that _.(分数:2.00)A.the sightseers cannot visit the Castle and the Palace separatelyB.the playgoers spend more money than the sightseers C.the sightseers do more shopping than the playgoersD.the playgoers go to no other places in town than the theater解析:试题分析 这是一道推断题。 详细解答 文章第二段的意思
44、,就是看戏的人一般都会在这个地方消费,在这个地方住一个晚上有可能去饭馆吃饭之类的,还说有些人甚至是住上四、五个晚上。28.By saying “Stratford cries poor traditionally“ (Line 2, Paragraph 4), the author implies that _.(分数:2.00)A.Stratford cannot afford the expansion projectsB.Stratford has long been in financial difficultiesC.the town is not really short of m
45、oney D.the townsfolk used to be poorly paid解析:试题分析 这是一道细节题。 详细解答 这个地方很多同学可能做错,它说在斯特拉福德当地政府有一个传统就是“哭穷”,它用了“cry poor”,这和汉语有点类似,其实这个地方的人并不是真正的穷,好象每个酒店都要加一个新的楼,说著名的希尔顿酒店也要在这个地方开业了,很明显当地经济并不是十分贫困。29.According to the townsfolk, the RSC deserves no subsidy because _.(分数:2.00)A.ticket prices can be raised t
46、o cover the spendingB.the company is financially ill -managedC.the behavior of the actors is not socially acceptableD.the theatre attendance is on the rise 解析:试题分析 这是一道推理题。 详细解答 原文倒数第二自然段说得很清楚 The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a rowLast year its 1,431 seats were 94 percent occupied all year long and this year theyll do better,这说明对于镇上的人来说,他们实际上不知道票价低,所以 A
