18、f 脱落；均不合题意。故选 A。A.ofB.on C.inD.from解析：精析 本题考查介词的用法。强加某种责任或义务在某人身上，常用介词 on。故选 B。A.satisfyingB.goodC.cleverD.advisable 解析：精析 本题考查上下文语义的衔接。从上下文结构分析可得，尽快将次品返还是一种明智的做法。advisable 明智的，符合题意。satisfying 令人满意的；good 好的；clever 聪明的；均与题意无关。故选 D。A.discover B.learnC.determineD.recognise解析：精析 本题考查动词词义辨析。这句话的意思是说，一旦发现
19、商品有缺陷应该马上退回去。一般来说我们都说“发现错误”。 discover 发现，揭示；determine 决定；决意；recognise 辨别，认出，承认。故选 A。A.at allB.at lastC.at leastD.at once 解析：精析 本题考查介词短语辨析。从该空后的意思“或许因为你住的很远义或者是东西太大不方便立刻拿回去”，可知，这里讲的是一种无法将商品立刻退回去的情况，at once 马上，符合题意。at all根本，常用于否定结构中，意为“一点也不”；at last 最后；at least 至少；均不合题意。A.with B.ofC.byD.at解析：精析 本题考查介词
20、的用法。be dissatisfied with sth对某事感到不满意，为固定搭配。我们常用其肯定形式 be satisfied with sth对某事感到满意。of，by，at 均不能与 satisfied 或dissatisfied 搭配。故正确答案为 A。A.approvedB.made C.offeredD.planned解析：精析 本题考查动宾搭配。分析句子结构可知，与空格所缺动词相搭配的宾语为arrangement。make arrangement 做安排，为固定搭配。故正确答案为 B 项。A.denialB.concessionC.delay D.compromise解析：精析
21、 本题考查名词词义辨析。文章第二段说的是发现缺陷要及时退货，即使是现实条件不许可，也要及时写信告知对方你的不满，并安排退货。主要在强调时效的重要性，从而可知这里是在说拖延会使你的情况变得糟糕。denial 否认，否定，拒绝；con cession 让步，特许，许可；compromise 妥协，和解；delay 延迟，耽搁。故选 C。A.situationB.case C.pointD.circumstance解析：精析 本题考查固定用语。This is not the case情况不是这样的。为固定用语。故选 B。A.agentB.assistantC.party D.provider解析：精
22、析 本题考查语境的把握。这里应填的词与前面的 retailer(零售商)相对应。party 常指“协议、合同、争论、诉讼等的一方、当事人、参与者”，如：Are you a party to the agreement?(你是签订协议的一方吗?)在此句中“the party”指代前面的“the retailer”。A.that B.whichC.whereD.when解析：精析 本题考查强调句型。强调句的固定结构为 It isthat (who)，若被强调部分是主语，且指人时，可用 who 代替 that；若被强调部分是宾语，且指人时，可用 whom 代替 that；其他情况下用 that。它的
23、一个特点是：去掉强调结构“It is/waswho/that”或经过语序调整后，原句仍成立。该句可还原为：Your complaint should be made to him意为：你应该向他进行投诉。A.conceptB.idea C.suggestionD.thought解析：精析 本题考查固定用语。Its a good idea这是一个好主意。为常用语。故选 B。A.doB.involveC.mean D.mind解析：精析 本题考查固定用语。mean business 认真。这里的意思是这表明你一开始就是认真的。故选 C。A.centreB.heartC.start D.top解析：
24、精析 本题考查固定用语。from the start=from the beginning 意思是“从一开始”。A.commonB.falseC.habitual D.indirect解析：精析 本题考查语境的把握。由常识可知“经理不在或者经理在开会”是人们常用的搪塞来访者的借口。habitual 意为“习惯性的，惯常的”符合题意。common 虽也有“通常，平常”之意但侧重于“因普通而显得常见”之意，所以选 C。false 错误的；indirect 间接的；与题意无关。A.DemandB.Insist C.PersistD.Require解析：精析 本题考查动词词义辨析。demand 要求；
25、insist 坚持；persist 坚持，持续；require 要求。insist 后面可以跟介词 on，也可以跟 that 引导的从句。后跟 that 引导的从句时可表示“坚决要求”之意，此时应用虚拟语气，即：insist that+sb.(should) do sth.；也可表“坚持认为”之意，此时用真实语气。本题为第二种用法。A.positionB.controlC.powerD.charge 解析：精析 本题考查固定短语。in charge 看管，掌控，负责；这是个固定短语。A.ConsideringB.ExaminingC.Failing D.Feeling解析：精析 本题考查上下文
26、语义的衔接。从后文的意思来看，此处讲的是，如果前面所作努力失败后你应该怎么做。fail 失败，符合题意。A.call B.getC.returnD.turn解析：精析 本题考查动词词义辨析。call 拜访；get 得到，到达；return 回到；turn 转动。这里指回头再来拜访之意，故选 A。A.satisfactoryB.interestingC.comfortableD.convenient 解析：精析 本题考查语境的把握。由常识知再次回访应该在一个双方均方便的时间，D 项 convenient方便的，符合题意。satisfactory 令人满意的；interesting 有趣的；com
27、fortable 舒适的。均与题意无关，故正确答案为 D 项。二、BSection Readi(总题数：5，分数：10.00)21.Hawley won the contest because _.（分数：2.00）A.he put all his mind to his performance B.he cared much about the judges feelingsC.he tried his best to avoid making mistakesD.he paid close attention to the people around解析：精析细节题。从文章的第二段哈利自己
28、所说的话以及第三段我们知道，他并没有将注意力放在努力减少错误或者是打动周围的人上，而是专注于自己的演奏。故 A 对。22.What is common among high performers is that they tend to give priority to _.（分数：2.00）A.gloryB.work C.pleasureD.wealth解析：精析 细节题。此题考查的是对文章内容的熟悉。题目的原话在文章第六段第一句话，“a characteristic of high performers is their intense，pleasurable concentration
29、on work”，意思是那些表现好的人都专注于工作本身。A 和 D 都是文章后面所否定的内容，所以不对。C 项在文章中是用来形容 B 项的，所以不是重点，也不能选。故 B 为正确选项。23.According to the passage, successful people concentrate on _.（分数：2.00）A.avoiding setbacksB.learning from othersC.defeating their opponentsD.challenging their own limits 解析：精析 细节题。根据文章倒数第四段最后的引语“They are in
30、terested in winning，but theyre most interested in self-development，testing their limits”，D 项“challenging their own limits”与此相符，故选 D。24.It can be learned from the passage that top performers are not _.（分数：2.00）A.free of losses B.interested in winningC.accustomed to failuresD.concerned about setbacks解
31、析：精析 推理题。此题考查的是对文章倒数第三、四段的理解。倒数第三段在开头说“对于表现最好的人来说，最有趣的是他们失败过多少次”，说明他们也有失败；所以 A 项“即使是有顶级表现的人也不免于失败”是正确的。B 项“对获胜没兴趣”，这与文章倒数第四段最后所表达的意思不一致。同时 C和 D 说“他们不习惯于失败”也“不关心挫折”，这与文章倒数第三段所表达的意思恰恰相反。25.The passage tells us that “praise“ in times of trouble _.（分数：2.00）A.helps people realize their goalsB.makes peopl
32、e forget their setbacksC.makes people regret about their pastD.helps people deal with their disappointment 解析：精析 推理题。A 项的意思是“在有麻烦的时候，表扬有利于人们认识自己的目标”；B 项的意思是“在有麻烦的时候，表扬帮助人们忘记挫折”；C 项的意思是“表扬使人们对过去感到悔恨”； D 的意思是“表扬帮助人们克服失望。”从意思上来讲只有 D 符合文意。A、C 两项文中都没有提到。而 B 项显然错误，因为文章说成功的人都是从挫折中吸取教训，所以不可能是忘记挫折。三、BText 2/
33、B(总题数：5，分数：10.00)26.Sleep is a funny thing because _.（分数：2.00）A.the longer one sleeps, the less sound sleep he getsB.the more sleep one gets, the more likely a stroke occursC.many people stick to about eight hours of sleep to stay fineD.many people who sleep six hours a night still feel energetic in
34、 the day 解析：精析 细节题。文章第一句话说“Sleep is a funny thing”，从结构上来分析，接下来应该分析为什么睡眠是一件有趣的事情，所以此题的答案应该在文章第二句话中找。第二句话提到很多人睡眠不足 7 到 8 个小时也依然能做的很好。D 项正是从这句话衍生出来的，所以 D 项正确。从文中第一段第三句中“who routinely sleep more than eight hours a day and are still tired are nearly three times as likely to die of stroke”可知，只有那些睡眠时间较长仍感到
35、疲惫的人因潜在的神经紊乱而睡眠较浅容易患中风。A、B 两项均犯了以偏概全的错误。C 项文中没有提到。故 D 项正确。27.A surgeon who has worked 40 hours in a row without sleep _.（分数：2.00）A.can still provide quality medical careB.will remain alert because he is used to itC.may ignore the potential risk of insufficient sleep D.should be fired if he continues
36、 the medical operation解析：精析 推理题。此题考查的是对文章第二段的理解。第二段的大致意思是说住院医生对连续工作40 小时习以为常，他们觉得这对工作不会造成什么影响，但是实际上严重睡眠不足却有巨大的潜在危险。C 项“连续工作 40 个小时的外科医生可能会忽略睡眠不足引起的潜在危险”，与此表述一致。故 C 项正确。28.According to one resident, they are short of sleep because _.（分数：2.00）A.they are too tired to fall asleepB.they are forbidden to
37、sleep at workC.they are kept by treating their patients D.they are too worried about oversleeping解析：精析 推理题。解答这道题关键在于理解文章倒数第二段的意思，从字面上来看，文章说病人夹在医生和为数不多的几个小时睡眠之间，实际上就是说病人是导致医生睡眠不足的原因。病人导致医生睡眠不足自然是因为医生要花很多时间去照顾病人。所以 C 项正确。29.The resident who hit a “Jersey gate“ on the New Jersey Expressway must have _.
38、（分数：2.00）A.fallen asleep B.drunk too muchC.been driving too longD.avoided hitting parked cars解析：精析 推理题。这篇文章说的就是因为睡眠不足而造成的危险，可推知所提到的意外应该是由睡眠不足所引起的。且发生这次意外的是一个连续工作了很长时间的医生，与喝酒无关，也不是因为开车时间太长，所以 A 对。D 项文章没有提到。30.Patients are now advised to _.（分数：2.00）A.monitor the hours of doctors by themselvesB.make su
39、re that the doctors who treat them have had enough sleep C.ask for legal control of the hours of doctorsD.allow their doctors to sleep several hours before the operation解析：精析 推理题。此题考查重点是对最后一段最后一句话的理解。最后一句话建议读者看病的时候问问医生睡了多少个小时。实际上就是看他睡眠是否充足，故 B 对。四、BText 3/B(总题数：5，分数：10.00)31.The tanker could not sai
40、l into the harbor because _.（分数：2.00）A.the tide was not suitableB.she had run aground on sand C.her engines had broken downD.most of her crew had gone ashore解析：精析 细节题。文章第一段第二句提到“In a way，she was，for the sandy bottom held her in its grip”其中“sandy bottom held her in its grip”意思是说这艘船被沙子给绊住了，隐含的意思就是说船开到
41、沙滩上去了。所以 B 对。32.The people who were watching from the beach _.（分数：2.00）A.offered to help without knowing what to doB.did not want to put themselves in any dangerC.realized the trouble but could do nothing about itD.did not know there was something wrong with the ship 解析：精析 细节题。文章第一段第四句话“It never occ
42、urred to the watcher on the shore that the ship was in danger，she looked so calm and seaworthy”可知海岸上的人压根没想到油轮身处险境，她看上去是那么的安静并且适应海上的生活，说明岸上的人并不知道这艘船发生了什么事。故 D 对。33.The seaman moved like dancing on the deck because _.（分数：2.00）A.he was doing some physical exerciseB.that was the best way to keep balance
43、C.the deck was uncomfortable to stand on D.he wanted to attract the watchers attention解析：精析 推理题。从第二段第二句话我们知道，那个船员在甲板上奇怪的挪动并不是在跳舞而是因为夹板很热，站在上面很烫。所以 C 项正确。34.The explosion occurred on the tanker when _.（分数：2.00）A.she was struck by lightningB.two seamen were working C.she was unloading her oilD.the fog
44、 began to clear up解析：精析 推理题。从文中第三段第五句“Soon two figures could be seen at work on her deck”我们知道这时两个船员出来了。后文又提到船上传来锤子和金属的声音，还有什么东西重重砸在甲板上的声音。可推知他们当时正在工作。故 B 对。35.What happened to the two seamen in the end?（分数：2.00）A.They were killed in the explosion B.They survived but were badly burnedC.They died shor
45、tly after reaching the beachD.They were blown off the ship and swam ashore解析：精析 推理题。从最后一段的前两个单词 two bodies(body 有尸体的意思)，我们可以推测那两个船员死了。所以 A 对。五、BPart B/B(总题数：5，分数：5.00)36.Mikhil Jaisinghani（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：C）解析：精析 细节题。第一段文章最后说“let us act to prevent it any way”，这句话就是作者写这段文字的目的。这与 C 项“我们应该为全球变暖做些
46、什么”表述一致。37.John Leaver（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：E）解析：精析 细节题。E 答案在第二段短文中有原话：“It seems that your magazine is keeping an open mind”。38.Thomas Hervouet（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：D）解析：精析 推理题。第三篇短文从开始就说明自己认为 Lindzen 不可信，他所持的观点也是不能让人接受的，这与 D 项“他没有资格对全球变暖对健康的影响发表看法”表述一致。39.Hans-Joachim Hell（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：A
47、）解析：精析 推理题。第四段话开头作者就表明观点说他很赞同 Lindzen 所说的，这与 A 项“对Lindzen 所作评论持肯定态度”表述一致。40.Derek Kickinson（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：B）解析：精析 细节题。很显然最后一段文章对美国政府的做法是反对的，并且认为美国人民和环境会为美国政府的所作所为付出代价，这与 B 项表述一致。六、BSection Writi(总题数：2，分数：30.00)41.Suppose your friend David Johnson in Washington has just got a Ph. D in law. Write a letter of congratulation to him. Also tell him you will attend a meeting in Washington next month. Ask him whether he has any time to show you around the city. You should writ
