24、 guess what was being said on TV）解析：解析 细节题。结合文章第一段第三句可知，耳聋的人听不到电视上的声音，只能猜测。(2).Why deaf people who watched television did not like programs other than sports and action shows?（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Because they couldnt catch the dialogue in the programs）解析：解析 推断题。文章第一段提到耳聋的人喜欢看体育类和动作类的节目，接下来又说如果对白太多
25、，他们就跟不上剧情，由此可知耳聋的人不喜欢看除了体育和动作片以外的电视节目是因为其他节目的对话很多。other than 意为“除了，除之外”，例如：Theres nobody here other than me除了我这里没别人。(3).According to the survey conducted by Norwood, hearing peoples attitude toward captions was_.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：negative）解析：解析 推断题。文章第三段指出许多听力健全的人不赞成(against the idea)给电视节目加字幕的观
26、点，由此推断，他们的态度是否定的。(4).What is the main function of a decoder?（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：It makes the captions appear on TV screen）解析：解析 细节题。由文章最后一段 This device was made to send signals on a special part of the television pictureThe signals could be captions 可知，解码器的作用是 make the captions appear on the TV s
27、creen。(5).The advantage of the way of closed captions may be the fact that_.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：it would not bother hearing people）解析：解析 推断题。由文章第三段one that would not bother hearing people(Norwood 希望开发一种不干扰听力健全的人的字幕)和最后一段 Without the machine，no captions would be seen(如果没有这种机器，就不显示字幕)可得出答案。二、Cloze(

32、ent解析：解析 语法结构题。本句的意思是“没有小轿车，大多数人会认为自己很穷”。without a car相当于条件句 if they dont have a car，所以 A 正确。A.everB.stillC.even D.quite解析：解析 惯用搭配题。结合空格后的 if 可知，even if 意为“即使，即便”，再结合句意“_他们真的很穷，如果他们有车，他们就不认为自己真的很穷”可知，C 正确。A.althoughB.when C.whetherD.but解析：解析 词义辨析题。although 意为“尽管”，when 意为“当时”，whether 意为“是否”，but 意为“但是
33、”，结合句意可知，B 正确。A.oneB.twoC.three D.no解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。本题需要结合全文大意才能得出答案，浏览全文可知，作者一共讲述了三个主要原因，所以 C 正确。A.qualifiedB.increasingC.developingD.popular 解析：解析 词义辨析题。qualified 意为“有资格的”；increasjng 意为“渐增的”；developing 意为“发展中的”；popular 意为“流行的”。结合句意可知，D 正确。A.First B.FirstlyC.MostD.Least解析：解析 惯用搭配题。first of all 是惯用搭配，意为

35、nceC.With D.As解析：解析 惯用搭配题。本句的意思是“有车，人们不用花很多钱就可以去任何地方”。表示“有车”，通常使用介词短语 with a car，相当于条件句 if they have a car，所以 C 正确。A.whichB.whereC.that D.what解析：解析 语法结构题。此句是一个同位语从句，that 引导同位语来说明 fact 的具体内容，所以 C正确。同位语从句属于名词性从句，大多由从属连词 that 引导，常接在fact，idea，opinion，news，hope，belief 等名词后面，同位语从句一般用来解释或说明这些名词所指代的具体含义或内容，
36、在逻辑上与先行词是同位关系；同位语从句与名词之间在逻辑上是“主语+be+表语”的关系，该名词是需要做特殊说明的；引导词 that 在同位语从句中是连词，只起连接作用，无具体意义，that 不可省略。A.interestedB.effectedC.efficient D.affected解析：解析 词义辨析题。effcient 意为“有效的”，结合句意“美国从没有发展出一种而廉价的公共交通工具”可知，C 正确。interested 意为“有兴趣的”；effected 意为“实现的”，affected 意为“受到影响的”，均排除。A.movementB.carriageC.shippingD.tr
37、ansportation 解析：解析 惯用搭配题。public transportation 意为“公共交通”，故选 D。A.quiteB.veryC.tooD.as 解析：解析 惯用搭配题。asas 是惯用搭配，意为“与一样”，所以 D 正确。A.providingB.provideC.provided D.provides解析：解析 语法结构题。由于空格后面没有内容，所以应使用过去分词作定语，而 provided 意为“提供的”，故选 C。A.veryB.soC.too D.as解析：解析 惯用搭配题。tooto是惯用搭配，意为“太而不能”，故选 C。A.thatB.what C.howD
38、.which解析：解析 语法结构题。本题是一个表语从句，空格处要填入的引导词既在主句中充当表语，又在从句中充当主语，因此只能用 what，故选 B。A.for B.onC.besideD.about解析：解析 惯用搭配题。wait for 是惯用搭配，意为“等待”，所以 A 正确。A.follow B.furtherC.chaseD.run解析：解析 词义辨析题。follow 意为“遵循”，结合句意“他们不喜欢_严格的时间表行事”可知，A 正确。further 意为“增进”，chase 意为“追赶”，run 意为“跑”，均排除。A.freedom B.hourC.timeD.vehicle解析

41、在这里是指被弄上咖啡渍，故译为 spot 显得更形象、更贴切。3. 1(据报道)there has been an accident on the expressway this moming（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：It is reported that）解析：解析 “据报道”、“据说”等一般使用 it isthat 字型，故此处应使用 It is reported that。4. 1(当她感到压抑时)，a good cry usually made her feel better（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：When she felt depressed）解析：解析 “感到压抑”可译 feel depressed。5.When I stood up to speak， 1(我脑子一片空白)（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：my mind was a blank）解析：解析 “脑子”即头脑、思绪，译 mind，“一片空白”即 be a blank。
