38、 or unusual to do should not consider (20) community service.(分数:20.00)A.asB.forC.upD./ 解析:考点 考查固定搭配。serve as/for 的意思是“作为,用作”;serve up 的意思是“端出(饭菜),提出,提供”。这里指的是“为社区服务是没有限度的”,由此可知,serve 在这里的意思是“为服务”,是一个及物动词,所以不需要接介词,正确答案是 D。A.overseaB.over seaC.over seasD.overseas 解析:考点 考查词义辨析。overseas 作形容词时的意思是“海外的,国
39、外的”,如下文出现的 overseas service。overseas 也可作副词,意为“在海外”,此处是副词用法,故答案选 D。A.take up B.take onC.take overD.take to解析:考点 考查固定搭配。take up 意思是“占据;开始从事”;take on 的意思是“呈现;担任”;take over 的意思是“接管;承袭”;take to 的意思是“开始喜欢,对产生好感”。这里空格后面接的是。full-time employment(全职工作),故与之搭配最贴切的应该是选项 A。A.quantityB.qualifyingC.qualityD.qualifi
40、ed 解析:考点 考查形容词词义辨析。由句子结构可知此处缺少一个作定语的形容词来修饰 technicians(技术人员)。从词义上来看,quantity,“大量”和 quality“质量”都是名词,不能修饰 technician,而 qualifying 是一个具有使动意义的形容词,意为“使具有资格的”,不符合题意,故选 D 项(qualified 意为“有资格的”)。A.partiallyB.partlyC.particularly D.passionately解析:考点 考查副词词义辨析。空格所在句子“those who retire early”的前后均是逗号,并且紧跟在主语的后面,因而
41、很可能是一个插入语,所缺词为表示程度上更进一步的副词。partially 意为“部分地”,partly 意为“几分”,passionately 意为“热烈地”,都不合题意,故选 particularly(特别,尤其)。A.orderB.operateC.offer D.occupy解析:考点 考查动词词义辨析。由上下文及句子意思可知,一些人,尤其是那些退休比较早的人,到一些需要他们这样人才的国家去贡献自己的技术和商业技能,故选 C。A.payingB.paid C.to be paidD.pay解析:考点 考查语法结构。由句子结构可知,or 前后的两个词应为并列的形容词,意义上相反,共同修饰
42、community service,因此排除 C、D 项,而 paying 的意思是“付给别人的”,也不合题意,故选 paid(付报酬的),其与voluntary(志愿的)是一对反义词。A.beforeB.latelyC.neverD.ever 解析:考点 考查语法结构。由句中 there are more opportunities than there_were 这一结构可知,than 连接的是两个比较成分,比较的是现在的情况和一个人刚开始工作时的情况。此处缺少的就是一个表示过去状况的时间副词,因此 ever 最合适。before 作副词时需放在动词后,lately,never 都不符合现
43、在与过去时态之问的逻辑关系。A.teamB.numberC.staff D.crowd解析:考点 考查名词词义辨析。这句话的意思是,大多数的志愿者组织只有很少的全职职员。该处缺少的词应该是一个集合名词,因此staff(全体雇员)最为合适。team 意为“小组,团体”,number 意为“数量”,crowd 意为“人群”,都不够贴切,故答案为 C。A.In B.ByC.WithD.Through解析:考点 考查固定搭配。in some ways 意思是“从某些方面来讲,在某种程度上”,其他三个介词by、wim、through 与 some ways 均无法构成搭配。A.look atB.comm
44、entC.enjoyD.judge 解析:考点 考查动词词义辨析。这句话是说,虽然从某些方面来讲他们看上去比较随便,效率较低,但是我们不应该用商业标准来评判他们。judge 意思是“评价,判断”,最合乎题意。look at(看)和 enjoy(欣赏,喜爱)与句意不符,cormxlent 一般作名词和不及物动词用,意思是“评论”,因此答案选 D。A.subjectiveB.subjectC.objectives D.objects解析:考点 考查词义辨析。这句话是说,人们在这些组织里工作是出于不同的原因,抱有不同的目的,从词义上可以排除subjective(主观的,个人的)和 subject(题
45、目,科目)。objects 意为“物件,对象”;objective 意为“目标,目的”,符合句意,故 C 为正确答案。A.organizationB.organizational C.organizedD.organizing解析:考点 考查语法结构。该部分由 bothand 连接两个并列的成分,所缺少的词和 personal 在结构上并列,在意思上相对应,故应选择一个形容词,该词修饰其前面的名词“目的”,person(个人)和 oganization(组织)相对,前者的形容词形式是 personal,故 and 后应该是后者的形容词形式,因而 B 选项正确,其意思是“组织的”。其他选项在词性
46、和意义上与 personal 均不能对应。A.expecting B.to expectC.being expectedD.expected解析:考点 考查语法结构。根据本句的主要结构 One should not join;they must be joined可知该句表示的是“应该,而不应该”的意思。这里 them 和 they 指代的都是志愿者组织的全职员工。join them 后面所跟的部分为伴随状语,故应使用动词的现在分词形式,该句前半个并列分句意为一个人加入到他们当中,不要想着带给他们专业经验,故应选 A。A.courseB.cause C.caseD.caution解析:考点 考
47、查名词词义辨析。由逗号后的 not 可知,commitment to the_与 business efficiency 在意思上应该是相对的。这句话是说,成为志愿者组织的一员最重要的是为事业奉献的精神,而不是商业效率,故选 B。cause 作名词时除了表示“原因”,还可指“事业”。course 意为“过程”,case 意为“情形,场合”,caution 意为“小心”,均不合题意。A.littleB.small C.largeD.big解析:考点 考查逻辑衔接。这句话讲的主要是在这样的组织里工作的薪水问题,or 后面是 non-existent,意为“不存在”,由上文可知,既然是一种志愿性的工
48、作,因此薪水应该是要么特别少,要么就没有,故排除 C、D。修饰 salary要用 small 或 large,故答案选 B。A.flee B.freedomC.moneyD.something解析:考点 考查逻辑衔接。由前后文可知,他们选择做这项工作只是因为他们喜欢,因此可以推断他们不要求报酬,无偿参加社区服务的工作,即 for free,故选 A。A.beforeB.onC.in D.at解析:考点 考查固定搭配。这部分的意思是,许多退休以后的社区活动在退休前也可以做。in retirement 表示退休后,故选 C。A.more thanB.very muchC.no moreD.no l
49、ess 解析:考点 考查逻辑衔接。由转折连词(but)可知,此处与上文是转折关系,根据上文句意可知此处意为“不过退休后仍然要认真地做这些工作”。no less 意为“仍然,依旧,还是”,故选 D。A.to be takenB.to takeC.taking D.being taken解析:考点 考查固定搭配。consider doing sth意为“考虑做某事”,又由于此处为主动意义,因此不能选 D,只有 C 正确。该句意为“那些只是想在退休之后寻找一些新鲜事情做的人并不应该考虑做社区服务。”二、Passage 2(总题数:1,分数:20.00)Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe.
