29、irculation 意思是“进入流通，进入市场”。其他的选项属于近形词迷惑选项，在此句中的意思都不对。2.Shortage of capital is the main factor that _ economic development.（分数：2.00）A.holds outB.holds on toC.holds back D.holds on解析：注释 hold back 意思是“阻碍”，最适合本句的意思。另一个常用词组是 hold on to，意思是“抓住，坚持住”，与本句的宾语 economic development 不符合。hold on 意思是“等一下”，不能带宾语。3.T
30、he captain of the ship _ the passengers that there was no danger.（分数：2.00）A.assured B.ensuredC.securedD.insured解析：注释 assure 意思是“使某人相信”；ensure 意思是“肯定/确认某件事实”；secure 意思是“使安全”；insure 意思是“保险”。注意，一定要区分这四个同义词的意思和用法，特别是其后所带的宾语特点，例如，assure 后跟的宾语是“某人”，而 ensure 后跟“某事”。4.Many old people in the cities find them
31、selves unable to get used to the rapid _ of city life.（分数：2.00）A.rateB.speedC.stepD.pace 解析：注释 pace of life 意思是“生活节奏”，属于固定词组搭配的考点。此项选择的关键是要知道和熟悉 pace of life 这个词组，与 life 搭配的只能是 pace。其他同义词选项的用法在此处都错误。5.The first Olympiad is said to have consisted _ of a 200-yard foot race near the small city of Olymp
32、ia.（分数：2.00）A.nearlyB.completelyC.merely D.identically解析：注释 此句话的意思是“第一届奥运会据说仅仅只有一个在奥林匹亚小城附近的 200 码赛跑项目。”nearly 意思是“接近地”；completely 意思是“完全地”；identically 意思是“相同地”，这三个单词在此句中的意思都不对。6.The issue _ at the conference is very important and it will create a sensation nationwide.（分数：2.00）A.discussedB.being dis
33、cussed C.is being discussedD.has been discussed解析：注释 本题属于分词做修饰语的考点。由于句子中已经有了一个谓语动词 is，并且后半句话用了将来时态，所以只能选 B。7.The extensive survey suggested that their assumptions _ totally wrong.（分数：2.00）A.were B.beC.wasD.would be解析：注释 本题不属于虚拟语气考点。含有“建议、命令、要求”等意思的动词如果后面跟宾语从句，则宾语从句的谓语动词一般省略 should，而直接跟原形动词。但是，本句的动词
34、suggest 一词在此的意思不是“建议”，而是“显示”，所以不是虚拟语气的用法。8.Undoubtedly, _ wins the election is going to have a tough job getting the economy back on its feet.（分数：2.00）A.anyoneB.whoC.whoever D.everyone解析：注释 本题属于复合从句考点。whoever 相当于 no matter who，在此作本句的主语，同时又要引导其定语从句 wins the election。其他正确说法还包括 anyone who，everyone who，
35、one who 等。请注意这些说法与其他选择项的区别。9.If they had sent a check to the telephone company last week, their telephone _ out of service at this moment.（分数：2.00）A.will not beB.will not have beenC.would not be D.would not have been解析：注释 本题属于混合式虚拟语气考点。当条件句的时间和主句的时间不一致时，其时态的对应关系应该是提前一个时态即可。例如，本句条件句的时间是“上周”last week，
36、属于过去时间，其时态要用过去完成时态 had sent，而主句的时间是“现在”at this moment，所以只提前一个时态，变成 would not be 就可以了。10.Millions of Americans flock to their drugstore to buy vitamins and minerals, _ that these pills can help to prevent serious illnesses.（分数：2.00）A.convincingB.convinced C.to convinceD.to be convinced解析：注释 本题属于分词短语的
37、考点。convince 一词属于及物动词，后面要求跟宾语。一般的用法是跟一个直接宾语和一个间接宾语，即 convince somebody of something。此句中的 somebody 是 millions of Americans，在句中作了主语，所以 convince 应该用被动语态形式，being convinced 和 convinced都算对。A 项选择的 convincing 不是被动语态，而 C 和 D 选项的不定式都包含将来时间的概念，在本句话中的用法和意思都错误。二、BPart Reading (总题数：15，分数：30.00)11.Ruby was an Asian
38、 elephant _.（分数：2.00）A.who was sold for a price as high as $ 5,000B.who was famous for being the first painting elephantC.whose paintings sold for as high as $ 5,000 D.who started painting in the late 1980s解析：注释 每一道阅读理解题在文章中都有其所依据的句子，做阅读题的关键是首先就要找到每一道题的依据句，然后才能判断这道题的正确选项。本题的依据句是文章的第二句话。应该注意，本句的主语是 P
39、aintings by Ruby，而不是 an Asian elephant。所以 A 项选择不正确。B 和 D 项选择都包含了在文章中没有出现的信息，所以也不正确。而 C 项选择的意思与依据句完全一致。12.Why did Ruby start painting according to Dick George?（分数：2.00）A.Because she was seven years old.B.Because she was the first to come to the zoo.C.Because she learned a lot from the goat and the ch
40、ickens.D.Because she had no elephant partners to play with. 解析：注释 本题的依据句是第二段中的两个句子 She lived with a goat and some chickens， but she didnt have an elephant companion for a number of years She spent a lot of time drawing in the dirt with a stick to make her days more stimulating其他选择项的内容要么是无关信息，要么和所提问题
41、不属于因果关系。13.How did Ruby paint at the very beginning?（分数：2.00）A.She used a stick to draw in the dirt. B.She spent much time in the dirt.C.She stimulated herself every day.D.She painted with her keepers art supplies.解析：注释 注意第二段中两个依据句，She spent a lot of time drawing in the dirt with a stick to make her
42、 days more stimulating 和 Her keeper bought her some art supplies 前后之间的关系。由于所提的问题是“大象最开始是如何作画的?”其直接的回答就是 A 项选项：She used a stick to draw in the dirt14.To encourage the elephants to paint well, the keeper（分数：2.00）A.bought them a lot of art supplies B.made them excited at the beginningC.taught them to h
43、old a paintbrush with their trunksD.reinforced the desired behaviors with rewards解析：注释 本题的依据句是倒数第二段中的句子 Initially，the keeper guides the elephants trunk over the canvas(画布)and offers rewards for good performance本题的选择也可以利用生活阅历和一般常识进行判断，教动物做动作一般的鼓励方式都是给它喂吃的东西。此题的其他选择项中都包含了一些无关的信息，和所提问的问题没有必然联系。15.When
44、Elephants Paint is a book _.（分数：2.00）A.on the history of artsB.about the painting elephants in Asia C.explaining how to teach elephants to paintD.chiefly theorizing about elephant art解析：注释 本题的依据句是文章的最后一句话中与这本书有关的内容 When Elephants Paint is an illustrated history of the Asian Elephant Art and Conserva
45、tion Project与这句话相比较，A 选项内容的覆盖面过大，应该在 arts 一词前加上 Asian elephants 才对；C 选项内容只是一个细节，没有覆盖书中的主要内容；D 选项中的 theorizing 一词的概念在文章中没有出现，属于无关信息。而 B 选项的意思是最符合依据句的意思。16.Americans believe that education is _.（分数：2.00）A.the only way to successB.the main purpose of the schoolsC.just like climbing laddersD.important t
46、o success 解析：注释 本题的依据句是文章的第一句话。A 选项的内容过于绝对，并被第一段后面的句子意思所否定。B 选项和 C 选项属于无关信息或错误信息。本题的 D 选项依据一般常理也可以推断出来。17.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as important to success?（分数：2.00）A.intellectual achievementB.competitive personalityC.social backgrounds D.social and political skills解析：注释 本题的依据句是整个第一段的内
47、容，并且与上面的第一道题有关联。做此类判断题时，关键是要找到出现的信息词。A，B 和 D 选项的内容都在第一段中出现了，而 C 选项 social backgrounds 没有地方能够找到其出处。18.A variety of extracurricular activities are added in American schools _.（分数：2.00）A.to help students climb the education ladderB.to enrich students dull life at schoolC.to help students become more su
48、ccessful in later life D.to extend college education down into elementary schools解析：注释 本题的依据句是文章第二段第一句话。第一段的意思说到“一个人的成功取决于几个不同的技能。”而第二段一开始就说了“帮助学生发展这些技能(为了将来的成功)的方式。”A，B 和 D 选项的内容要么属于无关信息，要么与问题的题干不属于因果关系。19.Athletic activities are designed _.（分数：2.00）A.to make boys strongerB.to teach students winning spirit C.to develop students social and political skillsD.to improve the academic programs解析：注释 本题的依据句在文章的最后一段。本段最关键的信息是 teaching students the“winning spirit”。本题其他选择项的内容属于无关信息，没有在本段内容中间出现。20.Which of the following can be the best title fo
