39、transferring up解析:考点 考查固定搭配。四个选项中都含有 up,空格后面跟的是 through the nations schools,由此可以推断,这里指的很可能是“升学”。change up 意为“加快车速”;move up 意;为“(使)升级;晋升”;break up 意为“打碎;分离;终止”;transfer 不能与 up 组成词组。由此可见,只有 B 项 move 与 up 能够组成一个有“升级”含义的词组,故选 B。该句意为“随着他们的孩子开始向高一级的学校升级”。A.clear B.vagueC.brightD.mature解析:考点 考查形容词词义辨析。该空后面
40、的部分意为“新的一批学术上的成功人士出现了”,由此可见,这是前文提到的“亚洲学生升学”的结果。clear 意为“显然的”;vague 意为“模糊的”;bright 意为“明亮的;聪明的”;mature 意为“成熟的”。A 项比较符合此处的语境。A.subjectsB.librariesC.institutionsD.universities 解析:考点 考查逻辑衔接。在该空后面的定语从句中出现了 mathematics,science and engineering departments,拥有这些院系的很显然应该是大学。所以答案为 D 项 universities。subjects 意为“科
41、目”,libraries 意为“图书馆”,institutions 意为“公共机构”,均可排除。这里是说“他们的成就在美国一流的大学里得到了体现”。A.problemB.character C.riddleD.mystery解析:考点 考查名词词义辨析。根据句意“数学、自然科学和工程学这些院系具有明显的亚洲_”可以推测,此处需填有“特征”含义的名词,四个选项中只有 character 符合,其他三个选项 problem 意为“问题”,riddle 意为“谜语”,mystery 意为“神秘”,都不符合该含义,故答案选 B。A.extendedB.expressedC.countedD.expla
42、ined 解析:考点 考查动词词义辨析。此处意为“对数学和自然科学的特别偏好在某种程度上可以由以下事实_”,后面作者又用一个定语从句具体指出了这一事实是什么,由此可见,作者是在分析亚洲学生偏好数学和自然科学的原因,空格处要表达的意思是“解释,说明”,四个选项中只有 explain 有此含义,其他三个选项 extend 意为“延伸”,express 意为“表达”,count 意为“计算”,皆可排除,故选 D。A.durableB.softC.realD.solid 解析:考点 考查形容词词义辨析。grounding 的意思是“基础”,空格处需要填入一个形容词,来修饰“来美国读书的亚洲学生的数学基
43、础,由常识可以判断,亚洲学生的数学和美国学生相比常常要好很多,四个选项中 durable 意为“持久的”,soft 意为“柔软的”,real 意为“真实的”,solid 意为“牢固的”,可见只有 D 项比较符合。A.knowledge B.informationC.valueD.interest解析:考点 考查名词词义辨析。此处作者要表达的是“来美国读书的亚洲学生的数学基础很好,但是英语的_只有很少或完全没有。”我们可以推断出由于英语不是他们的母语,因而这些学生应该是在英语的知识、能力方面有所欠缺。四个选项中 knowledge 意为“知识”,informfftion 意为“信息”,value
44、 意为“价值”,interest 意为“兴趣”,不难看出 A 项是正确答案。A.infectedB.influenced C.changedD.forced解析:考点 考查名词词义辨析。the promise of a good job after college 意为“毕业后会有好工作的可能性”,这一部分在整个被动句中是动作的施动者,They 指代学生们,是动作的受动者,空格处需要填入的是表示动作的动词。分析过施动者和受动者之后我们来分析四个选项:infect 意为“传染”;influence 意为“影响”;change意为“改变”;force 意为“迫使”。这两者之间应该是影响与被影响的关
45、系,故选 B。A.soB.butC.because D.yet解析:考点 考查逻辑衔接。该空格前面说的是“亚洲人觉得在数学和自然科学这些领域中不平等待遇会少些”,空格后面说的是“在像工程学这样的领域,他们会比在文科领域”,由此可见,后文是对前文的解释,因此四个选项中只有 because 符合,故选 C。A.steadyB.immediate C.subjectiveD.hesitant解析:考点 考查形容词词义辨析。根据句意“亚洲人觉得在数学和自然科学这些领域中不平等待遇会少些,因为在像工程这样的领域,他们会比在文科领域更_得到鉴定”。steady 意为“稳定的”;immediate 意为“直
46、接的;立即的”;subjective 意为“主观的”;hesitant 意为“犹豫的”。根据常识我们可以判断,理工科并不像文科那样主观,相比较而言 B 项 immediate 最符合此处的句意。A.owe B.owesC.owingD.owed解析:考点 考查语法结构。这句话所要表达的意思是“许多亚裔的美国学生都把他们的成功归因于父母对他们的影响”。四个选项中均含有词根 owe,句子的主语是复数形式 smdencs,缺少谓语,全文用的是一般现在时,由此可以排除B、C、D,正确答案是 A。A.doB.take C.haveD.get解析:考点 考查固定搭配。take full advantage
47、 of 意为“充分利用”,该句意为“他们的父母很坚定地要让他们充分利用美国教育体制必须提供的条件”,take(full)advantage of 构成固定搭配,意为“(充分)利用”,故选 B。A.efficientB.effective C.affectiveD.strong解析:考点 考查形容词词义辨析。结合句意“家庭作业是衡量父母关心孩子的程度的_手段”,此处需填有“有效的”含义的形容词,四个选项中只有 effective 符合,其他三个选项 efficient 意为“有效率的”,affective 意为“感情的”,strong 意为“强烈的”,都不合句意,故选 B。A.with B.in
48、C.onD.at解析:考点 考查介词词义辨析。文中此处要表达的意思是“亚洲的父母与美国的父母相比花更多的时间和孩子待在一起”,四个选项中只有 with 有“和一起”的意思,故选 A。A.butB.soC.asD.and 解析:考点 考查逻辑衔接。根据句意“亚洲的父母与美国的父母相比花更多的时间和孩子待在一起,这确实有帮助”可以发现,两句之间是顺承的关系,不存在因果、转折,因此四个选项中只有 and 符合,其他三个选项 but“但是”、so“所以”和 as“因为”皆可排除。A.breeds B.affectsC.risesD.develops解析:考点 考查动词词义辨析。该句意为“许多研究者还认
49、为在亚洲文化中有_成功的因素,比如强调家庭价值和教育的理想”。由such as 后面的内容我们可以推断出,这些“理想”促使亚洲人去追求成功。breed 意为“导致;引起”;affect 意为“影响”;rise 意为“上升”;develop 意为“发展”。C、D 两项明显不合句意,affect 与breed 相比,前者不如后者更直接,故选 A。A.formalB.formalisticC.academic D.realistic解析:考点 考查形容词词义辨析。根据上文我们可以推知,该句意为“这两种对于_成功的解释使在美国求学的亚洲学生担心”,此处需填入一个形容词来做“成功”的定语,四个选项中只有 academic 符合,因为是学生们的成功,其他三个选项 formal 意为“正式的”,formalistic 意为“形式主义的”,realistic 意为“现实的”,都不合句意,故选 C。A.settlersB.immigrants C.visitorsD.passengers解析:考点 考查名词词义辨析。该句意为“许多人都记得来自中国、日本和菲律宾的_成为社会隔
