21、1ives of millions（分数：70.00）A.possesses B.demandsC.obtainsD.attains解析：解析 空格处应该表明 the upper class 与 25 percent of the nations wealth 之间的关系。单从句意通顺方面来看，选项 A)possesses、C)obtains 和 D)attains 都适合本句。但 obtains 和attains 都为动态动词，用在句中 表明 the upper class 获得 25 percent of the nations wealth 发生的情况或过程，分析句意可知，这明显不符合句
22、子语境，故可排除。而 possesses 表示“拥有”，为静态动词，描述的是 the upper class 拥有 25 percent of the nations wealth 这个状态，符合语境，故为答案。A.beginningB.birth C.infancyD.foundation解析：解析 破折号之间的内容 families that have been wealthy for several generations (连续几代人都很富有的家庭)表明 the“old rich”是靠继承上一代 的财富才变得富有的，由此可推测，the“old rich”家族的财富是与生俱来的，故答案为
23、 birth(出生)。A.visible B.seenC.obviousD.apparent解析：解析 由本句中的 most 与上句中的 a few 之间的对比可知，两个句子之间存在对比关系，上句说A few are known across the nation(有一些全国闻名)，那么本句肯定就是说大多数都是不出名的，即大多数的富人是不太能引起 the general public(普通大众)注意的。visible 含有 “引起公共注视的，令人瞩目的”含义，故为答案。A.connectionB.associationC.communicationD.relation 解析：解析 四个选项中能
24、与 to 搭配使用的只有 relation(关系)。have a relation to sth.意为“与有关；有来往”。A)connection、B)association、 C)communication 通常都与 with 搭配使用。A.pullingB.extractingC.drawing D.making解析：解析 空格处与 their income 构成动宾搭配，且与 from 结构同现，选项中符合这两个条件的只有 drawing，当它的宾语与钱有关时，意为“提款，取钱，获得”。A)pulling(拉，拖)后面跟与钱有关的名词时，通常需与 down 搭配使用。pull down
25、意为“获得(抽出)钱作为报 酬”；B)extracting 意为“拔出，提取”，“extractfrom”意为 “从中提炼出”，与此处语义不符；D)making后面通常会直接跟 money，如 make some money(赚钱)。A.comparisonB.contrast C.contraryD.conclusion解析：解析 上文提到 upper upper class is the“old rich”(上层阶级的上层是老牌的富翁)，而本句指出 the lower upper class is the“new lich”(上层阶级的底层是平民百姓中的新贵)，old 和 new构成反义词
26、复现，故空 格处应能表示前后两个句子之间存在相反关系，且能与 by 搭配，故 选contrast(对照，对比)，by contrast 意为“相反，相对照而言”。 A)comparison 意为“比较”，by comparison 意为“比较而言，比较之下”，不适合本句；C)conutrary 意为“相反，反面”通常与 on 搭 配使用，On the contrary 意为“相反”；D)conclusion 意为“结论”， 通常与 in 搭配使用，in conclusion 意为“最后，总之”。A.Although B.BecauseC.ThereforeD.However解析：解析 将本题四
27、个选项代入句中，能使前后逻辑通顺的只有 Although，此处意为：尽管新贵们可能比老牌富翁们更有钱，但是他们却像普通大众一样赚钱。A.greedy B.indifferentC.unconcernedD.uninterested解析：解析 结合第 68 小题的分析，此处能与 make their money 形成合理衔接的应 该是 greedy(渴望的，贪婪的)，表示“贪婪地赚钱”。A.aboveB.beneath C.inD.besides解析：解析 很显然，everybody else 应该是在 the new rich(新贵)的阶级之下，故答案应为beneath。A.handB.thu
28、mbC.finger D.toe解析：解析 lift a finger(通常用于否定句)意为“举手之劳，出一点儿力”；其他的三个词，A)hand(手)；B)thumb(拇指)；D)toe(脚趾)都没有这样的搭配。A.wantB.likeC.tend D.hate解析：解析 空格前的 who 指代的是 the old Iich，由 look down upon the new Iich 可知，老牌富翁往往瞧不起那些新贵们，故应选 tend，tend to do sth意为“往往，倾向于”。want to do sth意为“想要做”；like to do sth.意为“喜欢做”；hate to d
29、o sth意为“讨厌做”， 都不合语境。A.overB.upC.down D.ifito解析：解析 分析句子结构可知，and 连接的两个定语从句修饰的是 the old rich， 此处是说新贵们(the new rich)的地位没有老牌富翁(the old rich)的地位高，老牌富翁们不屑于赞力去赚钱，而且他们也瞧不起(look down upon)新贵们，故答案为 down。A.trainB.studyC.cultivate D.nurture解析：解析 根据四个选项的提示可推测，本句是说那些老牌富翁有金钱和时间去培养兴趣。cultivate意为“培养(兴趣等)”，符合要求，故为答案。
30、A)train 意为“培训，训练”，指训练培养技能，宾语不能是 interest； B)study 意为“研究”，与 interest 不搭配；D)nuICure 意为“养育， 教育”，同样不能与 interest 搭配。A.collect B.gatherC.assembleD.amass解析：解析 四个选项均有“收集”之意，但用法上有区分：A)collect 意为“收集”，指作为一个爱好或为学习而收集；B)gather 意为“聚集，使聚在一起；采集”；C)assemble 指为了一定目的召集到一起成为一组或整体；D)amass 意为“积聚(尤指财富)”。此处指的是作为爱好而收集 rare
31、books，paintings，and sculptures(罕见的书画和雕塑)，故答案为 collect。A.stickB.clingC.attachD.belong 解析：解析 四个选项均可以与 to 搭配使用，但语义上有区分：A)stick 意为“粘住”，stick to 意为“坚持”；B)cling 意为“附着，紧贴”，cling to 意为“紧抓住，坚持，依靠”；C)attach 意为“贴上，系上”，attach to意为“把贴在上”；D)belong 意为“属于”，belong to 意为“属于”。句中的 they 指 the upper class，他们与 exclusive s
32、ocial club 应该是从属关系，故答案为belong。A.distant B.farC.removedD.remote解析：解析 由后面的解释 outof_sightclass 可知，本句指的是上层阶级疏远大众， 被称为“看不见的阶级”，故选 distant，因为 distant 不但可以表示距离远，还可以表示“关系远的，疏远冷漠的”，例如：distant relations (远亲)。其他三项，B)far 只能表示空间距离远；C)removed 意为“远离的，与无关的”；D)remote 意为“遥远的，偏僻的”，含 有不易到达的意思，不能修饰 them。A.awareB.conscio
33、us C.sensitiveD.sensible解析：解析 首先从是否能与介词 of 搭配使用上来看，可以将 C)sensitive、D)sensible 排除。A)aware 意为“知道的，意识到的”，be aware of 意为“意识到，明白”；B)conscious 意为“有知觉的”，be conscious of 意为“内心上注意的或敏感的，留心的、意识到的”，根据本句语义可知 conscious更符合句意。A.demandB.controlC.directD.command 解析：解析 空格处与 power and influence 语义场同现，而且这种权力与影响力远及国内外，所以
34、可推测本句活的意思是“上层阶级在国内和国外都掌握着权力和影响力”，故答案为 command(掌握，支配)。A)demand (要求)，B)control(控制，支配)，C)direct(指导，指挥)都不能与 power 和 influence 同时搭配使用。A.seizeB.retainC.hold D.maintain解析：解析 四个选项中，后面可以跟 position 做宾语的动词为 hold(占据，拥有)，hold position 意为“占据职位”，如：held the governorship for six yens 担任了六年的州长。A)seize(抓住，夺取)，B)retmn(
35、保留)；D)maintmn(维持，维修)均不能与 position 搭配。A.influenceB.affect C.moveD.manage解析：解析 A)influence 指通过说服、举例等对行动、思想、性格等产生不易觉察到的、潜移默化的影响；B)affect 指产生的影响之大足以引起反应，着重“影响”的动作，有时含有“对产生不利影响”的意思；C)move 意为“感动”；D)manage 意为“管理，控制”。对比四个选项中动词的含义可知，最符合句意的为 aflfect。二、Exercise 2(总题数：1，分数：70.00)Andy Dole had been a successful
36、electronics manufacturing executive and the owner of a disco in the 1970s and early 1980sAt his (62) , he earned$100, 000 a yearBut his real (63) was the lotteryAndy, 53, remembers the first time he bought a ticketin 1982“I knew it was a suckers bet, “he says“But there was no other (64) I could make

40、snt bought a lottery (79) in six years“My children (80) in me, and I have peace of mind, “he says“Its (81) ： everything I wanted from gambling I got from not gambling/（分数：70.00）A.peak B.primeC.highD.top解析：解析 空格处应能与 at 搭配使用，故可将答案限定在 A)peak 和 D)top 中。peak(顶点，最高峰)指某物或人状态最好、最强壮、最成功的时间，通常用 at someones(so
41、methings)peak 结构来表示“在最高峰”；top(高处)指某人在组织中、公司里或职业中的职位最好，通常用“at the top of”结构来表示“某人在最高”。本句中没有 “of”，故可排除 top，可知答案为 peak。A.fortuneB.passion C.SUCCESSD.business解析：解析 单从本句来看，四个选项的同都符合句意，所以应从整篇文章着手。由下文中所述 Andy Dole 即使破产也在继续购买彩票可知，他对 lottery 十分着迷，敞答案为 passion(热情，激情)。A.way B.methodC.modeD.manner解析：解析 四个选项中的词都

43、将来时连用；for 后接一段时间时，表示动作从过去某一时间开始一直持续到现在或离现在不远的时间，多用于延续性动词或现在完成时，句中的 play 为延续性动词，故答案为 for。A.lateB.later C.latestD.latter解析：解析 备选项中的四个词为同根词，但各自表示的含义不同。A)late(迟的，晚的)指时间上晚或迟；B)later(更迟的，稍后)做形容词时，表示“以后的，后期的”，做副词时表示“稍后，后来”还可与表示 时间的名词连用，表示“之后”，用于过去时和将来时；C)latest(最近的，最新的)指时间的先后中“最新的，最近的”；D) latter(后面的)用作形容词时
