25、d(分数:25.00)解析:Msuffer解析 词组固定搭配题。根据词性,此处应该填入不及物动词。符合的选项只有suffer,且suffer from“受某种病痛折磨,因而受苦”是习惯用法。该句意为“虽然动物不会人类的言语,但是它们懂得人类,却还遭受人类的虐待(human cruelty)”,故答案是suffer。解析:Dabuse解析 上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入及物动词。可选范围有abuse“虐待”,serve“服务”,根据上文词汇线索human cruelty,且下文中有明确提示No one has the right to abuse little.,可见答案是abuse。解析:F
26、dime解析 上下文同义词复现题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。因空前的动词是spend,且上文中也出现spend money,故此处也是填同类词。易混淆的选项有美国货币单位“dollar(元),dime(角)”,因为dime在口语中有small amounts of money“少量的钱”之释意,例如常用短语not worth a dime指“不值一文钱”,所以最符合题意的选项是dime,此句意为“你们可以不花一毛钱,就能救助动物”。解析:Bvolunteer解析 词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入动词原形。可选项有“volunteer(自愿去做),serve(服务)”,该句是主题句,根据此段
27、的主要内容“如果无法给动物收容所捐款,可以去那自愿帮忙”,那么帮助动物的方式变成自愿式的,故锁定答案volunteer。解析:Asimplest解析 词义辨析题。根据词性,此处填入形容词。根据上文信息You dont have to have any special skills to help animals“你不需要什么特殊技能便可以帮助动物”,以及所列举的照顾动物的事项如喂食、遛狗、打扫笼子等都极其简单,可见答案是simplest“最简单的”。解析:Lcreatures解析 上下文同义词复现题。根据词性,此处填入名词。根据空后的代词them可推测指的是上下文中的animals,而可选项中
28、与该词同义的是creatures“生物,动物”。故锁定答案creatures。解析:Itreats解析 词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入动词第三人称单数形式。可选的词只有treats“对待,处理”,且该段的主题是Report any form of animal abuse“要报道各种虐待动物的情况”,故Let others know how that person -|_|- animals意为“让其他人知道那人是如何对待动物的”,答案是treats。解析:Ksecretly解析 语义题。根据词性,此处填入副词。可选项有surprisingly“令人惊讶地”,secretly“秘密地”。该
29、句的下半句中有表示因果关系的连接词so,那么,前半句My neighbor doesnt feed his dog and cat well“我的邻居没有喂养好他的狗和猫”表示原因,据此推测,作者便偷偷地喂养它们,努力让它们活下来。故选答案secretly。解析:Gfur-free解析 词义辨析题。根据词性,此处填入形容词。根据like avoiding anything that includes leather, silk, and wool提示,可判断作者建议:买衣服时购买fur-free brands“零皮草的衣服”,符合题意的答案是fur-free。解析:Nstray解析 词组固定搭
30、配题。根据词性,此处填入形容词。下文中说:见到这样的狗,建议给它们食物,且stray dog为习惯用法,指“流浪狗”。故答案是stray。Abraham Lincoln turns 200 in 2009, and hes beginning to show his age. When his birthday arrives, on February 12, Congress will hold a special joint session in the Capitols National Statuary Hall, a wreath will be laid at the great

36、 Mhonoring Nadvantage Oacute(分数:25.00)解析:Lwebcast解析 上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。根据下文“link school classrooms”可见该名词可以将各个学校的教室连接起来,应当与“连网”相近,故选webcast“网络广播;网络直播”。解析:Mhonoring解析 词组固定搭配题。根据词性,此处应当填入动词的现在分词,构成现在分词短语做后置定语。此处为习惯用法honor the memory of sb.的变体honor ones memory,意为“纪念某人”。解析:Binadequate解析 上下文逻辑题。根据词性,此处应当填
37、入形容词做表语。上文采用了让步状语从句“尽管这些活动都是值得赞扬的”,下文应当发生句意转折,尤其下文“even halfhearted”给予了提示,因此空格中应当填入表示不足的形容词,故选择inadequate。解析:Jtowering解析 词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入形容词作定语修饰林肯的成就。在可选范围中表示褒义的形容词有“alert, acute, towering”, alert“警觉的,警惕的;思维敏捷的;活泼的”;acute“敏锐的,敏感的;严重的,剧烈的”;towering“耸立的;高大的,杰出的;强烈的;极度的”,此处修饰成就,故选用towering。解析:Kcenten
38、nial解析 上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。根据上下文可见此处将1909年的林肯纪念活动与2009年的相比较,故此处应当填入名词表示纪念活动。centennial意为“一百周年(纪念)”,而century仅表示一个世纪,100年。故选centennial。解析:Fmade解析 词组固定搭配题。根据词性,此处应当填入动词。此处为习惯用法make ones debut,意为“初次登场,首次露面”。此处文章意思为“那一年,林肯的肖像首次出现在便士上,这得益于美国财政部的批准以及全国各个角落公民联合会举行的各种游行、音乐会、舞会、讲座及阅兵式”。解析:Gcivic解析 上下文题。根据词性,此处
39、应当填入形容词。此处文意为“全国各个角落组织举行的各种游行、音乐会、舞会、讲座及阅兵式”,故空格中应当是这些活动的组织者,与community形成并列结构,故选civic“城市的,公民的”,此处表示民间协会。解析:Einspirations解析 语法题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。此处文意为1909年的纪念活动比之今天要多了些什么,根据a few的提示,这里的名词应当是复数形式,在所有选项中唯一合适的只有inspirations。此处译文为“1909年参加庆典的人拥有不少鼓舞人心之处恰恰是我们今天所缺少的”。解析:Hliving解析 上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入形容词。根据下文“然而200
40、9年的我们距离二战之末的时间比当时人们距离内战的时间还要久远”,可见1909年时人们的记忆更新鲜、更鲜活,故memory前的修饰词采用living“活的,逼真的”,意为记忆犹新。解析:Oacute解析 词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入形容词,修饰sense。此处文意为“敏锐的意识”,可选范围为“alert, acute”。前者强调警惕性高,后者侧重感觉的敏锐、强烈,此处修饰sense,最佳选择为acute。Almost every new innovation goes through three phases.

46、y”。但是根据下文描述可见,本段落描述了新产品的三个发展阶段,该句描述的是第一阶段,即产品刚刚进入市场的阶段,故根据语义判断可选initially。解析:Kadoption解析 词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。选项中给了两个形近词“adaptation适应;适应性”和“adoption收养;采纳”,而此处指新产品被市场的接纳过程缓慢,并不是指产品的自身适应过程,故应当选adoption。解析:Aimpact解析 上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。在描述新产品刚刚进入市场的阶段中,上文指出市场接受过程缓慢,那么可推测相应的经济效益也较低,基于此,所选名词中可与economic搭配构成
47、“经济效益”含义的词仅有impact。解析:Dwhere解析 语法题。此空格连接前后两个句子,空格后的句子成分完整,the explosive one(phase)在下文的从句中充当状语,因此应当填入关系副词而不是关系代词,故选where。解析:Gservice解析 上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入动词。根据下文的举例描述,除了汽车的生产量大幅上升外,相关的其他行业如公路、汽油、汽修等也日益兴盛。因此,此处指新产品进入爆发式发展阶段后,产量上升的同时还有许多相关服务产业,故选service。解析:Lboom解析 上下文及词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。空格前的this一词提示了此空格指
48、的是上文的新产品爆发式发展阶段,含有繁荣昌盛的意义,主要区别blossom和boom,前者指“花(尤指果树或灌木的花);兴旺”,后者指“(人口、贸易等的)突然增加;繁荣”,形容经济发展更贴切的选择应当是boom。解析:Eon解析 语法题。根据词性,此处应当填入介词。此处动词run为不及物动词,与road搭配时后面的介词不可省略,为cars run on the roads,倒装后变为(the) roads . for the cars to run on。解析:Nhistorically解析 上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入副词,可选范围为“initially(已用),nearly, historically”,根据上下文,上文举了汽车工业的例子,下文举了电力、收音机的例子,可见这是历史上不断重复的模式,故选historically。解析:Ocapacity解析 词组固定搭配题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。此处指对生产及运输能力的要求,故选用capacity, generation capacity“产能”,distribution capacity“运能”。解析:Fnearly解析 上下文题。此题中能修饰none的词只有副词,剩下唯一选项nearly。
