29、 37 percent from the previous year. Their numbers are 6 , and 100 million in 2020.（分数：15.00）解析：B 题目语段空白处接的是不定式 to grow，首先排除 C 项。其余两个动词中，常用来接不定式的是expect (to do) sth.，所以 B 项是本题答案。mark 一般是直接接名词作宾语。解析：A 题目语段的意思是：“那个时期增长了 11%”。从结构上看，A、C 两项似乎都可以，因为空白后面是名词短语，既可以作动词(marked)宾语，也可以作介词(over)宾语。从意思上看，A 项 marked
30、 11 percent growth over that period 意为“表明那个时期增长了 11%”；C 项 over 有“超过”的意思，相当于 more than，似乎也说得通。但仔细阅读整个语段不难发现，如果选 over，应该去掉 growth 才符合表达习惯：over 11 percent“超过 11%”。通过对比分析，确定 A 项是正确答案。解析：C 确定了 A、B 两项的答案后，C 项自然是本题的正确选项了。但我们还是要再确认一下。over 在此处的意思指一段时间“在中”，如语段 B 中的 over that period“在那段时间里”。题目语段意为：“在 2001 年即9.
31、11事件那一年中上升了 2.7%”。解析：C 阅读题句分析题句结构得知，空白处前面是句子的主要部分，与空白处用逗号隔开，说明空白处要填入的成分是状语。浏览选项发现，A、B 两项都是动词短语，不能作状语，而 C 项是名词短语，填入句中可起到补充说明的作用，故 C 为正确选项。解析：B 此题必须首先搞清楚句子结构：China 是主语，however 用两个逗号框开，说明是插入语，空白处后面是分词短语作状语，空缺的是谓语和宾语。选项 A 和 B 都可以作谓语，如果不能确定的话，可以先看下一小题。扫视下一小题空白处前后，发现该句谓语已给，即“are.”，这样就能确定本题的答案是B 项，因为 marke
32、d 一般不用于被动语态。解析：A 在分析上一小题时已经初步确定本题的答案是 A 项，因为 be expected to do sth.是常用结构，填入句中意思是“预期这个数字到本十年末将会增长到 3000 万”，语法、语义都正确，故 A 项是本题答案。A. for some time B. of her career C. taking over Phrases: A. have been 7 more responsibility in the business world B. had she found the highest paying job 8 C. haven“t been f
33、ulfilling their traditional roles 9 Somehow the old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. Men and women in this country 10 now. And there seem to be fewer and fewer differences between the sexes. For instance, even though more women than men are still homemakers without paying jobs, women 11 ,

At office meetings and in group discussions, they might speak up more often, express strong opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues. Several day
35、s ago, my 23-year-old daughter came to me with some important news. Not only 12 , but she“d also accepted a date with the most charming men she“d ever met.（分数：15.00）解析：C 题目语段已经给出“have been -|_|-”，显然缺的是动词形式，所以 C 项taking over 是本题答案。另外 take over responsibility 也是固定搭配，由此进一步确认了选择 C 项为答案的正确性。解析：B 余下的 A、B
36、两项填入本语段似乎都可以，但 job 与选项 B 中的 career 在词义上具有相关性，所以选 B 项更合适。如果不确定，可以先做下一题，然后再完成此题。解析：A 题目语段用的是现在完成进行时，正好与表示一段时间的状语 for some time 吻合，故 A 项为本题答案。解析：C 如果仅仅从语法结构上看，此题选 A 项或 C 项都可以，但根据上下文语境，只有选 C 项才合乎语义逻辑，因为上文提到“在某种程度上，男人和女人的模式化形象不再适用了”，接下来的一句承接上一句，对其进行解释：“这个国家的男人和女人现在 -|_|-”，前一句用了表否定的 no longer，接下来也应该是表达否定意
37、思才说得通，C 项中的 haven“t been fulfilling 表否定，而男女的固定模式化形象即履行传统性别角色，从而与前一句意思一致，故 C 项是本题正确答案。解析：A 此题可以从时态来判断。A 项说的是现在，而 B 项说的是过去。题句的空白处位于主从复合句的主句部分，从句用的是现在时，主句也应该与之对应，用表示现在的时态。据此，初步圈定答案是 A 项。再从上下文语境看，前一句谈到男女不再履行传统性别角色，模式化形象不再适用，性别差异越来越小，此句是举例说明：“尽管没有工作仍然操持家务的女性比男性多，但是女性在商业社会中正在逐渐承担较多的责任”。下文接着说“她们挣的钱比以前多，并且进
38、入了以前只有男性工作的领域”。根据语篇意思的连贯性，确认本题答案为 A 项。解析：B 此题仅从题句语法结构便可搞定答案。题句用的是 not only.but (also)句型，而且 not 一词置于句首，按语法规则，句子的主谓应该部分倒装，恰好 B 项语段是倒装结构：had she found the highest paying job of her career，可见 B 项是本题答案。四、Text Two(总题数：2，分数：30.00)A. highly profitable B. turned in C. for the right jobs Phrases: A. has also

43、-called “universities“ and “colleges“ are even selling these attractive diplomas.（分数：15.00）解析：A 分析空白处的句子成分很容易得知，缺失的成分是用来修饰 business 的定语，A 项 highly profitable 是形容词短语，能够起修饰限定作用，故是本题答案。解析：C 本语段的主要成分已经给出，空白处于句尾，缺失的是状语或后置定语。但从用词和语义的连贯性上看，C 项 for the right job 更符合本题的要求，因为 the right people for the right jo
44、b 在意思上相关联。for the right job 是介词短语，填入句中作状语。所以 C 是本题的正确选项。解析：B 本语段是一个动宾结构，已给的信息和空白的位置以及要填入的成分同上一题类似，不同的是turned in 是过去分词短语，在语段中作后置定语，修饰 paper，the pieces of paper turned in 即“交上来的材料”。本题答案为 B 项。解析：C 观察题句结构得知，空白处需填入谓语，而且是动词原形，因为空白处前面已给出否定词don“t，可见三个选项中 C 项 look at the pieces of paper turned in 符合题句语法要求，是正
45、确答案。解析：B 题句空白处缺失的是句子，因为引导从句的连接词 that 已经给出，很明显，B 选项 candidates were the right people for the right jobs 是句子，符合题句的结构要求，是正确答案。解析：A 题句的语法结构是 Making fake degrees -|_|-，动名词短语作句子的主语，需要填入的是谓语和宾语。动名词短语作主语，谓语应该用单数形式，据此可以断定 A 项 has also become a highly profitable business 是本题答案。A. shrank B. but C. cut back Phr
