Many years later, the Eskimos learned to make similar pans.(分数:20.00)(1).A. in B. on C. through D. for(分数:1.00)A.B.C.D. 解析:for 加时间表示在(过去的)一段时间里,用于过去时或完成时,此处意为:人类吃生冷食物已有数千年之久。in 加时间表示(将来的)一段时间以后,用于将来时,如用于此句,意为数千年以后,与上下文不符;on 和 through 都不搭配。(2).A. raw B. rough C.
23、dry D. fresh(分数:1.00)A. B.C.D.解析:raw 意为“生冷的,未加工的”,此处意为“吃生冷食物”。rough 意为“粗糙的”;dry 意为“干燥的”;fresh 意为“新鲜的”,都与句意不符。(3).A. forest B. coal C. kitchen D. lightening(分数:1.00)A. B.C.D.解析:forest fire 这里指的是“原始森林火灾”;coal 意为“煤”;kitchen 意为“厨房”与上下文不符;lightning fire 意思不通,只能说由 lightning 引发的森林火灾。(4).A. volcano B. cave

D.解析:until 意为“
25、直到(才)”。其他选项意思与上下文不符。(7).A. food B. himself C. fire D. it(分数:1.00)A.B. C.D.解析:himself 反身代词用来强调是人自己能控制火。其他选项放进空里意思不通。(8).A. to cook B. cooked C. cooking D. cook(分数:1.00)A. B.C.D.解析:depend on 意为“依靠”,该短语后一般接动词不定式。其余三项都不符合句型结构。(9).A. places B. realms C. areas D. domains(分数:1.00)A.B.C. D.解析:areas 此处意为“地理概
26、念的地区或区域”,即“沙漠地区”;place 泛指“地方”;realm 指“兴趣或活动范围”;domains 指“领域,势力范围”。因此,后三项都不符合上下文意思。(10).A. beating B. drying C. frying D. placing(分数:1.00)A.B.C.D. 解析:placing 意为“放置”。此处意为:通过把食物置于烈日下的石头上的方法使食物变熟。beating意为“打”;drying 意为“使干燥”,都与句意不符;flying 意为“煎、炒”,在当时还不可能。(11).A. stone B. board C. table D. plate(分数:1.00)A

C.D.解析:be replaced by 意为“由替代”。这里意为木棍被铁棍所代替;supp
29、ort 意为“支持”,意思不通;switch 意为“转换”,change 意为“改变”,意思都不正确,而且,放进句中语法也不通。(16).A. by B. on C. over D. at(分数:1.00)A.B. C.D.解析:on 正好与句中的 side 相搭配,此处意为:肉串的各个面都能烤到。(17).A. incapable B. unavoidable C. impossible D. unpopular(分数:1.00)A.B.C. D.解析:impossible 意为“不可能的”。此句意为:在没有制造能盛水而不被火损坏的容器之前,用水煮肉是不可能的。incapable 意为“无能

31、.A. stronger B. better C. more D. longer(分数:1.00)A.B.C.

D.解析:different 意为“不同的”。根据后面的 but 和 different 判断,这里的意思是:将得到三种不同的回答。differed 是动词的过去式,用于此处不符合英语表达习惯;same 意为“相同的”,similar 意为“相
36、似的”,意思不符合上下文。(3).A. thing B. picture C. book D. scene(分数:1.00)A.B.C.D. 解析:scene 意为“景”。根据上下文,从窗户看出去所看到的只可能是一景,而不可能是一件东西(a thing),也不可能是一幅画(a picture),更不可能是一本书(a book)。(4).A. something B. anything C. nothing D. everything(分数:1.00)A. B.C.D.解析:根据上下文 something 此处意为每人都看到了一些不同的东西。(5).A. two B. three C. four

D.解析:give sb. a ticket 意为“对某人实行罚款”,此处指警察对骑摩托车的人罚款。reading 和making 意思不通,不符合上下文;asking 语法、词义都不通。(7).A. One B. Other C. The other D. Another(分数:1.00)A.B.C.D. 解析:根据上下文,another 此处指前面提到的三个人中
38、的第二个人。表达习惯为:oneanotherthe third,the other 是指二者当中的第二个人。表达习惯为:onethe other,other 和 one 在这里不合乎英语表达习惯。(8).A. intersection B. section C. comer D. side(分数:1.00)A. B.C.D.解析:intersection 意为“十字路口”,这里是指十字路口有交通堵塞;section 意为“地区”,在这里词义不准确;corner 意为“角落”,不符合句意;side 意为“路边”,不符合句意,而且一般与介词 on搭配。(9).A. cross B. across
39、C. go D. walk(分数:1.00)A. B.C.D.解析:cross 这里意为“横穿马路”,符合上下文;go 和 walk 之后不能直接跟 street;across 是介词,不能当动词使用。(10).A. relation B. interpretation C. creation D. rejection(分数:1.00)A.B. C.D.解析:interpretation 意为“解释”,这里指“对事物的理解、领会”。relation 意为“关系”,creation 意为“创造”,rejection 意为“反对”,都不符合句意。(11).A. ears B. mind C. ha
40、nds D. eyes(分数:1.00)A.B.C.D. 解析:根据上下文,此句意为:理解就是我们的大脑对感官,这里指的是眼睛,所感觉到的事物的解释。句中的 in this case 就是指文章中的三人看窗外的例子,自然这里应选 eyes。(12).A. what B. why C. how D. where(分数:1.00)A.B.C. D.解析:此句意为:心理学家要研究人们是如何感受和理解周围的世界。其他三项都不符合逻辑。(13).A. around B. along C. besides D. surround(分数:1.00)A. B.C.D.解析:around 意为“周围的”,此处指

42、为:在实验中,他们可以控制所有的因素。which 是指实验本身,放在从句中就应充当主语或宾语,而从句中已有主语和宾语,这就会引起从句结构混乱,意思不通;that 与 which 的语法作用相似,而且常用于强调句中,充当从句的主语,也不符合语法。of which 是表示所属关系,此处句意不通。(16).A. factors B. theories C. thesis D. things(分数:1.00)A. B.C.D.解析:factors 意为“因素”。根据上下文,只有 factors 符合句意,其他三项逻辑不通。(17).A. facts B. something C. effects D.
43、 results(分数:1.00)A.B.C.D. 解析:results 意为“结果”。此句指对实验结果进行量化和用图表表现。something 的所指不明;effect 意为“效果,作用”,不符句意;facts 意为“事实”,所指不明确。(18).A. which B. what C. who D. how(分数:1.00)A.B. C.D.解析:这是一个宾语从句,what 是从句中的主语。根据上下文,此处意为:他们在寻找是什么使得人们对同样的事物产生不同的理解。how 是表方式,不能作主语;who 和 which 与上下文不符。(19).A. total B. great C. totally D. exact(分数:1.00)A.B.C. D.解析:totally 意为“完全地,十足地”,此处指截然不同的理解。total、exact 和 great 都是形容词不能修饰句中的形容词 different。(20).A. different B. same C. other D. similar(分数:1.00)A.B. C.D.解析:same 意为“同样的”。根据上下文,这里指的是对同样的景产生不同的理解,因此,different、other。和 similar 都与上下文意思不符。
