And so another computer criminal (20) with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.(分数:20.00)A.EveryoneB.SomeoneC.Anyone D.No one解析:考点 考查代词词义辨析。该句意为“_足够聪明,可以按照自己的目的修改这些信息的人都可以获得巨额报
39、酬”。everyone意为“每个人”;someone 意为“有的人”;anyone 意为“任何人”;no one 意为“没有人”。由题意可知,这里需填入不定代词 anyone,故选 C。A.acclaimB.reap C.reachD.reclaim解析:考点 考查动词词义辨析。acclaim 意为“称赞”;reap 意为“收割,收获”;reach 意为“到达”;reclaim 意为“收回”。此处要表达的意思是“获得巨额报酬”,故选 B,reap rewards 指“获得报酬”。A.at B.withC.ofD.by解析:考点 考查固定搭配。be caught at sth/doing sth
40、指“在做某事时被当场抓住”。该句意为“更糟糕的是,很多这样做甚至被当场抓住的人都能逃脱惩罚”。A.unfoundB.undetected C.dischargedD.underestimated解析:考点 考查形容词词义辨析和逻辑衔接。unfound 意为“未被找到的”;undetected 意为“未被发现的,未被查出的”;discharged 意为“放电的”;underestimated 意为“低估的”。该句意为“如果没有人检查电脑在干些什么的话,电脑犯罪很容易_”。上段末出现了 get away without punishment,这里根据同义复现的原则,应该填入的是undetected
41、,故选 B。A.asideB.outC.onD.away 解析:考点 考查动词短语词义辨析和逻辑衔接。walk out 意为“走出”;walk away 意为“走开,离去”;walk on 意为“继续走”;没有 walk aside这种用法。该句意为“即使罪行败露,犯罪分子也可以走_,不仅不受惩罚,甚至还能从他的_雇主那得到一封_的推荐信”。这里的 walk_unpunished 是前文中 get awaywithout punishment 的同义复现,故选 D。A.redundantB.glowing C.terribleD.formidable解析:考点 考查形容词词义辨析。redund
42、ant 意为“冗长的”;glowing 意为“炽热的;热情洋溢的”;tenrrible 意为“恐怖的,可怕的”;formidable 意为“强大的;令人敬畏的”。由 not onlybut also 可知,该空填入的内容应是unpunished 的递进,应为褒义词,故选 B。A.precedingB.priorC.former D.proceeding解析:考点 考查形容词词义辨析。preceding 意为“在前的,前述的”;prior 意为“优先的”;former 意为“前任的”;proceeding 为名词,意为“进程,进行”。此处要表达的是“前任雇主”,所以选 C。A.annoyedB.

44、为“意外地”。A.procedures B.processC.progressD.precedence解析:考点 考查名词词义辨析。procedure 意为“程序”;process 意为“过程”;progress 意为“进步”;precedence 意为“优先”。根据题意可推测这里指的是“安全程序”,故选 A。A.unluckilyB.uncommonly C.recklesslyD.subjectively解析:考点 考查副词词义辨析。unluckily 意为“不幸地”;uncommonly 意为“罕见地,极其”;recklessly 意为“不顾一切地”;subjectively 意为“主观
45、地”。上文提到很多犯罪都是意外发现的,因此这里应该是说“被抓住的电脑犯罪人员都是运气极差的受害者”,故选 B。A.LikeB.DespiteC.Unlike D.Though解析:考点 考查逻辑衔接。整篇文章都是在讲电脑犯罪人员即使犯罪也没有什么严重的后果,因此,这句话应该要说的是“不同于其他犯罪人员必须离开国家、自杀或者进监狱,电脑犯罪人员有时可以逃避惩罚,不但要求不能起诉他们,还要求给他们写好的推荐信或者给他们其他的好处”,故选 C。A.commit B.doC.makeD.carry解析:考点 考查固定搭配。“自杀”就是 commit suicide,为固定的动宾搭配,故选 A。A.av
46、oidB.violateC.escortD.escape 解析:考点 考查动词词义辨析。avoid 意为“避免”;violate 意为“违反”;escort 意为“护送”;escape 意为“逃避”。这里实际上仍是对文章中心内容的重复,即“电脑犯罪人员可以逃避惩罚”,也是对前文 walk away unpunished 的同义复现,故选 D。A.usualB.often C.muchD.rarely解析:考点 考查固定搭配。al too often 意为“时常,经常是”,选 B。该句意为“他们的要求总能够得到满足”。A.contemplateB.manifestC.hesitate D.con
47、trive解析:考点 考查动词词义辨析和逻辑衔接。contemplate 意为“沉思”;manifest 意为“表明”;hesitate 意为“犹豫”;contrive 意为“设计”。这里是讲为什么公司的管理者不敢惩罚电脑犯罪人员。该句意为“他们一想到这些罪犯会在大庭广众之下到处吹嘘他们如何在公司的管理人员、会计、安全人员的眼皮底下骗走了最为机密的记录,就犹豫不决了”。根据句意,应选 C。A.elaboratingB.simulatingC.proposingD.boasting 解析:考点 考查动词词义辨析。elaborate 意为“详细描述”;simulate 意为“模拟”;propose
48、 意为“计划,建议”;boast 意为“自夸”。由句意可知,simulate 和 propose 用在这里不合适;elaborate 是不及物动词,要与 on 构成固定搭配 elaborate on,也可排除,故选 D。A.records B.figuresC.deficitsD.matters解析:考点 考查名词词义辨析。record 意为“记录”;figure 意为“数字”;deficit 意为“赤字”;matte 意为“事情,物质”。由句意可知本题选 A。A.stuffB.facilityC.staff D.faculty解析:考点 考查名词词义辨析。stuff 意为“填充物”;faci
49、lity 意为“设备”;staff 意为“员工”;faculty 意为“全体教员”。这里指的是公司员工,所以用 staff。A.separatesB.dividesC.cutsD.departs 解析:考点 考查动词词义辨析和逻辑衔接。separate 意为“分开”;divide 意为“分割”;cut 意为“切割”;depart 意为“离开”。该句意为“然后又一个电脑犯罪分子拿着他需要的推荐信离开了,到另一个地方继续他的犯罪”,故选 D。二、Passage 2(总题数:1,分数:20.00)Just 30 years ago some 700 million people lived in cities.
