38、001Internships offer companies a chance to (80) the education of students through realworld experience while (81) out prospective employees without incurring huge expenses(分数:70.00)A.professionB.commerceC.tradeD.business 解析:解析 解答本题主要是区别各个表示“商业”的名词。A)profession(职业)指“需受过特殊教育和训练的脑力劳动者的职业”;B) commerce 特
39、指国与国之间的商业往来;C)trade 特指国内外之间的贸易;D)business 通常指“生意,行业”,表示“为图利(常指为个人谋利)而做的工作”,分析句意可知,此处就是表示“生意(的一部分)”,故答案为 business。A.schemesB.tactics C.plotsD.tricks解析:解析 空格前的指示形容词 these 提示,these 指代的应是上句中的 skyrocketing salaries,foreign workers,raids on other corporations for talents,它们都是公司采取的策略,故答案为 tactics(策略,手段)。A.
40、survival B.existenceC.livingD.standing解析:解析 本分句中的 they 指代的是 skyrocketing salaries,foreign workers,raids on other COIporations for talents。公司采取这些策略当然是为了公司的生存及发展,故答案为 survival(生存)。A.significantB.major C.importantD.large解析:解析 which 引导定语从句,修饰 technology explosion,众所周知 technolog), explosion(科技爆发)即科技的迅速发展
41、,会使 qualified talents(人才)严重紧缺,所以应选 major(非常严重的),这里考到的是 major 比较生僻的含义,需要引起注意。A.firingB.meetingC.facingD.hiring 解析:解析 下句中的 There is 说明本句提出的问题是有解决方法的。根据下文可知,该解决方法就是公司与能提供他们需要的人才的学校建立联系,并向该学校提供相应的帮助,这样做的目的就是该校学生毕业后,公司可以不用花费大量的时间及金钱对他们进行培训,他们就可以直接上岗。由此可推断出,本句问的问题就是有没有好的方法能使公司不雇用 underqualified college gr
42、aduates(能力还达不到要求的大学毕业生)及不需花赞大量的金钱培训他们,故答案为 hiring (雇用)。A.cooperateB.invest C.wadeD.involve解析:解析 根据第 66 小题的分析可知,公司与能提供他们需要的人才的学校建立联系及提供相应的帮助都属于公司为教育投资的范畴,故答案为 invest。invest in 意为“投资”。A.exceptB.if C.lestD.than解析:解析 句中虽有比较级但没有比较对象,可轻松排除 D)than。如将 A) except(只是,要不是)和C)lest(唯恐,以免,免得)放入句中,句子逻辑就会十分混乱。B)if 用
43、在句中时,意为“如果从当地着手而不是从全球范围考虑,事情就非常简单了”,可以使逻辑通顺,故为答案。A.smallB.nativeC.famousD.local 解析:解析 根据第 68 小题的分析可知,本文提倡的是 think locally,所以如果选 择能向公司提供需要的人才的学校的话也应该从公司所在地考虑,故答案应为 local(当地的,本地的)。A.touchB.associationC.relationship D.exchange解析:解析 如果公司选择好了一个能给它提供需要的人才的学校,那么它就应该与该学校建立起一定的关系,故答案为 relationship(关系),其他选项都不
44、能和 build 形成合理的搭配关系。A.appropriateB.respectable C.respectfulD.appreciative解析:解析 本段建议公司打电话到学校与负责有关专业的系主任联系, respectable(可敬的,有名望的)符合此处语境,故为答案。A) appiopriate(合适的)不用于修饰人;C)respectful(尊重人的,有礼貌的)与句意不符;D)appreciative(有欣赏力的)虽然符合句子逻辑,但却不符合本句语境。A.withB.onC.forD.in 解析:解析 由空格后的 your companys software or hardware
45、可知,此处指的是在公司软件或硬件方面的培训,故答案为 in。train in 意为“在某方面培训”。train with 意为“用培训,结交”,显然不符合语境。从句中 be more people trained in the use of these products 也提示答案 为 in。A.representsB.means C.claimsD.proclaims解析:解析 此题主要从辨析词义入手。A)represents 意为“显示或呈现”;B) means 意为“意思是,意味着”;C)claims 意为“主张”;D) proclaims 意为“宣布,声明”。将四个选项代入句中,很明显
46、只有 means 能使语义通顺,此处意为“意味着”。A.ThoseB.TheseC.This D.Such解析:解析 本句的谓语动词 adds 为第三人称单数,故空格处也应为单数,所以可排除 A)Those 和 B)These。其他两个选项中只有 This 可指刚提到的或下面将要提到的事,故为答案。A.bankB.storeC.numberD.pool 解析:解析 公司为学生提供培训机会将增加公司市场份额和人才库存。pool 指“集中备用的物资(如钱、物、工人等)”,符合句意,故为答案。A.Donations B.DedicationC.AssistanceD.Cooperation解析:解析
47、 根据常识可知,本句谓语 qualify your company for tax deductions(使公司有资格减免税费)的主语应是 Donations(捐资),而且与前文中出现的 invest in education 照应。A.rawB.marginC.line D.border解析:解析 tax deductions 说明此处的选项也与经济有关,选项中能与其在同一个语义场出现的只有line。bottom line 指“账本底线,盈亏一览结算线”,在财务报表中用此线标明净收益或净损失。本句句意为“捐资使公司有资格减免税费,这有助于提高利润”。A.ChangeB.TransferC.T
48、urn D.Shift解析:解析 空格处应与 to 构成合理搭配,故可将答案限定在 A)change 和 C) Turn 中。change into意为“使改变”,指从一种状态变为另一种状态,不符合句意;tum into 意为“使变成”,符合此处语境,指把这“ 些受过良好教育的学生变成可聘用的人才。A.experimentB.internship C.exerciseD.training解析:解析 下句话指出,inteInships(实习期)为公司提供了一个机会,根据上下文语义联系可知,本题应选 internship。本句意为“通过让学生到公司实习,把这些受过良好教育的学生变成可聘用的人才”。
49、A.further B.supportC.continueD.finance解析:解析 上文提到公司为学校捉供培训,学生有使用该公司软件或硬件的机会,这是公司参加教育活动之一,那么提供实习机会应是之二了,是进一步的教育,所以应选 furthel(促进,增进)。A.testing B.examiningC.siftingD.selecting解析:解析 空格处能与 out 搭配使用,四个选项中只有 testing 符合,test out 意为“考验,考察”。二、Test 2(总题数:1,分数:70.00)For many people today, reading is no longer (62) To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not
