20、 differenceIn either case, experiences and the social and technological surround should work their magicThis effect may account for the IQ rise over the decades(分数:70.00)A.reinforcesB.enhancesC.shatters D.explores解析:解析 文章开头提到,人们的智商得分在过去几十年中急剧上升,而本段最后又说,这表明智商是可以改变的,结合选项可知,空格处应该是说:智商的得分急剧上升打破了人们认为智商是不
21、变的想法,故 本题答案应为 shatters(打破,动摇),而 63 题答案应为 C)rigidity (不变,僵化)。本题其他几个选项 A)reinforces(加强,加固)、 B)enhances(提高,增强)、D)explores(探险,探测)均不符 语义。A.seriousnessB.stabilityC.rigidity D.foundation解析:解析 由上题分析可知,本题答案为 rigidity(不变,僵化)。A)seriousness (严肃,认真)、B)stability(稳定性)、D)foundation(基础,根本)均不符语义。A.whyB.whether C.what
22、D.that解析:解析 根据 the ver3,real question of 可知,所填词需表疑问之意,故先可排除 D)that。再分析句子结构可知,IQ is truly a proxy for intelligence 是个完整的句子,因此所填词不在从句中充当任何成分,而要充当引导从句的连词,可知 why 与 whether 均符合,再结合上下句意不难看出, whether(是否)符合题意。A.andB.orC.nor D.but解析:解析 “neithernor”为固定搭配,表示“既不,也不”。A.account for B.respond toC.take upD.match to
23、解析:解析 本句的意思为:从双胞胎研究到收养人研究,大量数据表明,青少年晚期个体智商的差异大约有 75%是由基因导致的。据此可知, account for 意为“说明,导致或引起构成决定性的或主要的因素”符 合句子大意。B)respond to(回答,作出反应)、C)take up(拿起, 开始从事)、D)match to(使和相等)均不符合题意。A.resolveB.explain C.exhibitD.display解析:解析 选项中能和宾语 the lions share ofIQ difference 构成合理搭配的只有 explain(解释,说明的理由或原因),它与前文中的 acco
24、unt for 构成同义复现关系。本句意为:大多数研究智力的心理学家都认为, 智商差异绝大部分是由遗传因素引起的。A)resolve(作决定,表决)、C)exhibit(展出,陈列)、D)display(陈列,展览)均不符 合题意。值得注意的是,句中 the lions share 意为“最大的一部分”。A.dilemmaB.paradox C.contractionD.conflict解析:解析 上段提到“大多数心理学家都认为智商差异绝大部分是由遗传因素引起的”,下句又提到“智商的高遗传性表明环境的巨大影响力”,这 两句话看似是矛盾的,因此答案为 paradox(似是而非的论点,自相 矛盾的
25、活)。A)dilemma(进退两难的,困难的选择)、C) contraction(收缩,紧缩)、D)conflict(抵触,冲突)均不符题意。A.overwhelmingly B.fundamentallyC.admittedlyD.adequately解析:解析 空格处要求填入一个副词,修饰后面的肜容词 powerful。从语义上判断,overwhelmingly(压倒性地,不可抵抗地)符合题意。其他三个选项,B)fundamentally 意为“基础地,根本地”;C)admittedly 意 为“公认地,无可否认地”;D)adequately 意为“充分地”。A.retrieveB.unt
26、angle C.repelD.dissipate解析:解析 空格处要求填人一个动词,其宾语为 mystery(神秘的事物)。四个选项中,A)reieve 意为“重新得到”;B)untangle 意为“解开,理清(某个让人迷惑或复杂难解的事物)”;C)repel 意为“击退,抵制”; D)dissipate 意为“驱散,消散,浪费(金钱或时间)”,能与 mystery 构成最合理搭配的是 untangle。A.cameB.fitC.caughtD.teamed 解析:解析 所填词都能与后面的 up with 构成合理搭配,但既能以人做主语又能以人做宾语的只有caught up with(追上,吸
27、住)和 teamed up with(使结成一队,合作,协作),但这里要表达的意思显然不是 Dickens 追上 James Flynn,而是指他们一起合作,故答案为 teamed。came up with 意为“想出,赚钱”;fit sth.up with 意为“准备,装备(设备, 房屋等)”。A.resolve B.revolveC.reviveD.relieve解析:解析 句中 the paradox 指的就是前文中的 the mystery,因此所填浏要能和第 70 题的答案untangle 形成同义复现关系,故答案为 resolve,意为“决心,解决,解开(疑惑),除去或驱散(疑虑)
28、”。B)revolve (旋转,考虑)、C)revive(苏醒,回想)、D)relieve(减轻,解除)均不符句意。A.startB.turnC.shed light D.press解析:解析 四个选项均能和 on 搭配,句中使用了“notonlybut also”句型, 因此此处 73 on应能和上题答案 resolve 构成语义复现关系,符合的只有 shed light,shed light on 意为“使某事清楚明白地显示出来”。 start on 意为“开始进行”;turn on 意为“开启,开始”;press on 意为“强加于”,均不符合题意。此处句意:在本周心理学评论上 发表的一
29、项研究里,这对合作者提出的一种解释不仅可能消除这种似 非而是的论点,而且有可能拨开迷雾,揭示决定智商的力量。A.effectB.shape C.inspireD.drive解析:解析 选项中能和 intelligence 构成合理动宾搭配的只有 shape(定形,塑 造),该词和后文中的 affected 构成语义复现。A)effect 做名词时意为“影响,作用”,做动词时意为“招致,实现,生效”;C)inspire (启示,使生灵感)、D)drive(开车,驱赶)与语义不符。A.In a wordB.In other words C.HoweverD.Hence解析:解析 上文指出:人们的智
30、商同时受到环境和基因的影响,但是他们的环境 与智商是相匹配的。本句意为:基因确实起着重要的作用。由此可知,空格后的话实际上是从另一角度对前文作出的阐释,故答案应为 In other words(换句话说)。A)In a word(总之)、C)However(然而,可是)、D)Hence(因此,从此)都不能使上下文语义连贯。A.edge B.priorityC.effectD.precedence解析:解析 本句意为:如果你在智力上占有先天的优势,你就极有可能喜欢上学、阅读、解题、提问以及抽象思维。四个选项中,只有 edge(优势,边缘)符合题意。B)proricy(优先,优先权)、C)effe
31、ct(结 果,效果,作用)、D)precedence(优先,居先)均不符合题意。A.determineB.accumulateC.consolidateD.amplify 解析:解析 选项中能和 innate brainpower 构成合理动宾搭配的是 amplify(放大, 增强)。本句意为:所有这些活动往往会增强你天生的智能。其他三个选项,A)determine(决定,使下定决心)、B)accumulate(积聚, 堆积)、C)consolidate(巩固,强化)均不能以 innate brainpower 做 宾语。A.DespiteB.Thanks to C.GrantedD.Prov
32、ided解析:解析 multiplier effect 是 will likely stud3,even more 的原因,因此 Thanks to (由于)为答案。此句意为:由于倍数效应,你很有可能学到更多。 A)Despite(不管,尽管)、C)Granted(准予,承认)、D)Provided (倘若,如果)均不能使前后逻辑通顺。A.boost B.boothC.bootD.boom解析:解析 所填词应能和上段末句中的 boosting 形成复现关系,故 boost 为答案。 B)booth(货摊,售货亭)、C)boot(靴子)、D)boom(发隆隆声,兴隆)均是在词形上进行干扰,语义明
33、显不符。A.influentialB.positive C.potentialD.prospective解析:解析 由上段中提到的 If you have a biological edge in intelligenceyou will likely enjoy school,books,puzzles,asking questions and thinking abstractly 可知,an IQ edge 对人的智力水平是有积极影响的,故答案 为 positive(积极的,肯定的)。A)influential(有影响的,有势力的)用来修饰 effect,语义重叠;C)potential
34、(潜在的,可能的)和 D)prospective(未来的,预期的)均脱离了语境。A.makes B.impliesC.suggestsD.represents解析:解析 make no difference 为固定搭配,意为“没区别,不重要”,为正确答 案。B)implies(暗示,意味)、C)suggests(建议,提出)、D) represents(表现,象征)均不符合此处语义和搭配。二、Directions:Complete (总题数:5,分数:35.00)1.All people want to know_(到底是什么引发了 这起事故)(分数:7.00)_正确答案:(what it w
35、as that had caused this accident)解析:考点 本题主要考查强调句型。解析 由所给汉语中的“到底”可知,此处应该用强调句型来表达,其基本结构是:“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+句子其他部分”,本句强调的是句子的主语 what。2._(一个国家未来的繁荣在很大程度上有赖 于)the quality of education of its people(分数:7.00)_正确答案:(One countrys future prosperity to a great extent depends on)解析:考点 本题主要考查短语 to a grea
36、t extent/degree 和 depend on。解析 表示“在很大程度上”常用 to a great extent/degree,表示“依赖于”可用 depend on 或 rely on。3.The belief_(应该尽最大努力做好工作) made me succeed(分数:7.00)_正确答案:(that I try my best do the work well)解析:考点 本题主要考查同位语从句和虚拟语气。解析 分析句子结构可知,所给汉语部分是用来说明 the belief 的内容,故 应译成同位语从句,而belief 一词后面接同位语从句时,从句中应该使用虚拟语气,其谓
37、语动词用 should do 的形式,且should 常省略。4._(他被指控蓄意谋杀),so he was sentenced to death(分数:7.00)_正确答案:(He was accused of intent to kilI/He was charged with deliberate murder)解析:考点 本题主要考查时态、语态以及 accuse of 或 charge with 的不同搭配。解析 所给英文部分是一个 so 引导的结果状语从句,故译文部分应该是句子的主句,由所给英文部分的一般过去时态可知,译文部分也应该采用一般过去时。表示“指控”可以用 accuse,也
38、可以用 charge,但二 者搭配的介词不同,accuse 一般用于 accuse sb.of sth.的结构,charge 则一般用于 charge sb.with sth.的结构。“蓄意谋杀”可以用 intent to kill 或 deliberate murder 来表达。5._(正在进行精心的准备)for the Prime Ministers official visit to the four foreign countries(分数:7.00)_正确答案:(Elaborate preparations are being made)解析:考点 本题主要考查时态和语态。解析 分析句意可知,本句是表示“正在进行的行为”,故应该用现在进行时,而所给汉语部分是个无主句,根据英语习惯,最好译成被动语态,现在进行时的被动式应该是 be being done。“精心的准备”应该 译成复数 elaborate preparations。
