24、made woolens). Automatic cookers are advertised by pictures of pretty young mothers taking their children to the park, not by 10 women presetting the dinner before catching a bus to the office.（分数：30.00）解析：D。解析 由空格后的形容词比较级结构less tiring可知，此处应填入一个副词。备选项为：certainly“确实，无疑地”；excessively“过度地”。此处含有强调的意味，表示
25、“确实可以轻松些”，只有certainly符合文意。故答案为D。解析：G。解析 空格前是does not，故此处需要填一个谓语动词，且应为动词原形。备选项为：exaggerate“夸大”；emphasize“强调”；amount“总计”。结合上下文，只有动词amount符合文意，表示：但节省出的时间总量却实在不太多。故答案为G。解析：F。解析 空格后为“名词+过去分词”构成的并列的独立主格结构，由此判断，此处应填入一个过去分词。备选的分词是：removed“被去掉”；introduced“被引进”；handled“被处理”。根据其前的名词strains“污渍”可知，只有removed符合文意。
26、故答案为F。解析：A。解析 分析空格处所在短语to a -|_|-可知，此处应填入一个单数名词。备选的名词是：laundry“洗衣房”；flavor“味道”；calculation“计算”；balance“平衡”。由此处的to可知，空格处填入的词应表示地点，故答案为A。解析：O。解析 此处应填入一个名词，做句子的主语，且为单数形式。符合语法条件的选项为flavor、calculation和balance。将选项分别代入原文后可知，只有balance符合文意。strike a balance为固定搭配，意为“取得平衡”。故答案为O。解析：I。解析 此处应填入一个形容词来修饰后面的recipe。备
27、选形容词为：indignant“生气的，愤怒的”；complicated“复杂的”；professional“专业的；职业的”。本句前后的意思存在对比关系，前面说labor-saving“省力的”，后面应与其相对，且能修饰recipe，所以complicated符合句意。故答案为I。解析：C。解析 空格所在的结构 -|_|- the creative aspect of her function应该与foster her sense of her own usefulness并列，并由动词foster可知，空格处应填入一个动词原形。备选单词为exaggerate“夸大”和emphasize“强
28、调”，结合本处语境和语体色彩，emphasize更贴切，表示：强调她作为家庭主妇时富有创意的一面。故答案为C。解析：K。解析 此处应填入一个名词，做前面谓语动词produce的宾语，且由that可知，该名词为单数形式。该句的语境为做蛋糕，因此，与home-baked“家庭烘焙”搭配且符合语境的只有flavor“风味”。故答案为K。解析：M。解析 本句空格前为句子主语和系动词be，由此判断空格处应填入一个动词的分词形式或形容词，且由空格前的first，可判断应填入过去分词。备选单词为handled和introduced，结合此处语境，introduced“被引进”更贴合文意。故答案为M。解析：L
29、。解析 空格所在的句子是一个由by和not by并列构成的被动语态结构。由此可知，此处需要一个形容词来修饰后面的名词women，与前面的pretty young构成对比。备选项为indignant“生气的，愤怒的”和professional“专业的”，结合此处语境，professional更符合文意。故答案为L。二、PART LANGUAGE USAG(总题数：20，分数：70.00)1.The president promised to keep all the board members _ of how the negotiations were going on.（分数：3.50）A.
30、informedB.informC.be informedD.informing解析：解析 本题考查过去分词作宾补。分析句子结构可知，本句中缺少的是宾补成分，inform常用于inform sb. of sth. 的结构，故此处inform与members之间是被动关系，应该用过去分词，故答案为A。2.Ann never dreams of _ for her to be sent abroad very soon.（分数：3.50）A.there being a chanceB.there to be a chanceC.there be a chanceD.being a chance解析
31、：解析 本题考查动名词做宾语和there be句型。of为介词，其后应该用动名词结构，故应该将there be句型中的be变为being。故答案为A。3.All things _, the planned trip will have to be called off.（分数：3.50）A.consideredB.be consideredC.consideringD.having considered解析：解析 本题考查独立主格结构。此处consider的逻辑主语是all things，二者之间是被动的关系，故应该用过去分词，故答案为A。4.Criticism and self-critic
32、ism is necessary _ it helps us to find and correct our mistakes.（分数：3.50）A.by thatB.at thatC.on thatD.in that解析：解析 本题考查原因状语从句。in that是一个复合连词，表示“因为，在于”，可引导原因状语从句，符合此处句意。故答案为D。5.Americans eat _ as they actually need every day.（分数：3.50）A.twice as much proteinB.twice protein as much twiceC.twice protein
33、 as muchD.protein as twice much解析：解析 本题考查比较结构。此处是表示倍数，“倍数词+as.as”可以表示“是的多少倍”，故答案为A。6.The British are not so familiar with different cultures and other ways of doing things, _ is often the case in other countries.（分数：3.50）A.asB.whatC.soD.that解析：解析 本题考查定语从句。此处as引导非限制性定语从句，表示“正像，正如”，as代替前面整个句子的内容。故答案为A
34、。7.We are all for your proposal that the discussion _.（分数：3.50）A.be put offB.was put offC.should put offD.is to put off解析：解析 本题考查虚拟语气。表示建议、要求、命令等含义的名词，如suggestion，order，proposal等，后面接名词性从句时，要使用虚拟语气，从句谓语用should do的形式，should常省，故答案为A。8.Neither of the young men who had applied for a position in the unive
35、rsity _.（分数：3.50）A.has been acceptedB.have been acceptedC.was acceptedD.were accepted解析：解析 本题考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，主语为neither of the young men，而neither表示“两者中任何一个都不”，强调单数概念，其后的谓语要用单数形式；而句中的had applied提示，此处应该用过去时态，故答案为C。9.People appreciate _ with him because he has a good sense of humor.（分数：3.50）A.to wor
36、kB.to have workedC.workingD.having worked解析：解析 本题考查动名词做宾语。appreciate后面要求接动名词做宾语，故首先排除A、B。而动名词的完成式表示其动作发生在谓语动词动作之前，此处并没有此含义，故直接用动名词的一般式表达即可，故答案为C。10.When I try to understand _ that prevents so many Americans from being as happy as one might expect, it seems to me that there are two causes.（分数：3.50）A.
37、why it doesB.what it doesC.what it isD.why it is解析：解析 本题考查强调句型。强调句型的基本结构是“It is/was+被强调的部分+that+句子其他成分”。此处强调的是句子的主语what，而疑问词应提到句首，故答案为C。11.May I speak to your manager Mr. Williams at 3 oclock this afternoon? Im sorry. Mr. Williams _ to a conference long before then.（分数：3.50）A.will have goneB.had gon
38、eC.would have goneD.has gone解析：解析 本题考查时态。由前一句可知long before then是表示将来的时间，分析句意可知，此处是表示到将来某个时间为止的状态，故应该用将来完成时，故答案为A。12.If the building project _ by the end of this month is delayed, the construction company will be fined.（分数：3.50）A.to be completedB.is completedC.being completedD.completed解析：解析 本题考查不定式做
39、定语。分析句子结构可知，if条件句中已经有了谓语is delayed，故首先排除B；所填部分在句中应该是做定语，修饰the building project，由时间状语by the end of this month可知，此处是表示“即将被完成的”，故应该用不定式做定语。故答案为A。13.All the arrangements should be completed _ your departure.（分数：3.50）A.prior toB.superior toC.contrary toD.parallel to解析：解析 本题考查固定短语。prior to“在之前”，相当于before，
40、表示一种时间上的先后，与departure(离开)相搭配。Bsuperior to(优于)、Ccontrary to(与相反)、Dparallel to(与平行)均不符合题意。故答案为A。14.Most people agree that the present role of women has already affected U. S. society. _, it has affected the traditional role of men.（分数：3.50）A.Above allB.In allC.At mostD.At last解析：解析 本题考查固定短语。前一分句指出妇女的地
41、位影响了美国的社会，后一分句进一步将影响的范围缩小到对男人的传统地位的影响，可见两个分句之间从句意上存在递进关系，故答案为AAbove all(尤其是，最重要的)体现这种逻辑关系。BIn all(总计，总共)、CAt most(至多)、DAt last(最终)均不能使此处逻辑通顺。15.As an actor he could communicate a whole _ of emotions.（分数：3.50）A.frameB.rangeC.numberD.scale解析：解析 本题考查异义异形词的辨析。range意为“一系列；幅度，范围”，强调变化幅度，a whole range of e
42、motions意为“各种各样的感情变化”，故答案为B。frame意为“框架”；a number of意为“若干，许多”，但其中不加whole，另外，此处也不强调emotions的数量；scale意为“大小，规模”。16.This is what you should bear in mind: Dont _ a salary increase before you actually get it.（分数：3.50）A.hang onB.draw onC.wait onD.count on解析：解析 本题考查固定短语。句中存在对比关系。空格处所填词和actually get it(实际拿到)形成
43、对比，故答案为Dcount on(指望，期待)expect。Ahang on(坚持)、Bdraw on(吸收，利用)、Cwait on(服侍)均不符合此处语义。17.Mrs. Smith was so _ about everything that no servants could please her.（分数：3.50）A.specificB.specialC.preciseD.particular解析：解析 本题考查近义近形词的辨析。be particular about sth. 意为“对过分讲究的，挑剔的”。从结果no servants could please her推出原因was
44、 so particular about everything(对任何事都挑剔)，故答案为D。Aspecific(明确的，具体的)、Bspecial(特别的，专门的)、Cprecise(精确的，准确的)均不符合题意。18.It is obvious that this new rule is applicable to everyone without _.（分数：3.50）A.exceptionB.exclusionC.modificationD.substitution解析：解析 本题考查近义近形词的辨析。without exception为固定搭配，意为“没有例外”。Bexclusion
45、(排斥)、Cmodification(修改，改正)、Dsubstitution(代替，替代)均不符合此处语义和搭配要求。故答案为A。19.During the lecture, the speaker occasionally _ his point by relating his own experiences.（分数：3.50）A.illustratedB.hintedC.citedD.displayed解析：解析 本题考查近义异形词的辨析。illustrate多指用图或例子“说明，阐明”，和题干中的by relating his own experiences(引用自己的经历)相一致，故
46、答案为A。Bhinted(暗示)、Ccited(引用)、Ddisplayed(陈列，显示)均不符合题意。故答案为A。20.Only those who can _ to lose their money should make high-risk investments.（分数：3.50）A.maintainB.sustainC.endureD.afford解析：解析 本题考查近义近形词的辨析。money，investments提示此处应该是说“负担得起”，故答案为Dafford(负担得起；提供)，afford to do sth. 意为“买得起某物，负担得起某种后果”。Amaintain(保持)、Bsustain(保持，支撑)、Cendure(忍受)均不符合此处语境。
