22、e.（分数：2.50）A.crashedB.collidedC.smashedD.fell考博英语-66 答案解析(总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Vocabulary(总题数：40，分数：100.00)1.I am to inform you, that you may, if you wish, attend the inquiry, and at the inspectors discretion state your case _ or through an entrusted representative.（分数：2.50）A.in person B.in depthC

23、.in secretD.in excess解析：解析 从所给信息看，句子的大意是“我现在通知你，你可以参加听证会，在调查人员的旨意下，你自己陈述你的情况，或者通过一个你信任的人代表你陈述情况”。or 通常用来连接两个并列的供选择的成分，表示“是这样，还是那样”。原句后面讲“through an entrusted representative”(通过可信赖的代表)，那么与此相对的应当是 in person，即“亲自，本人”。in depth 意为“深入”；in secret意为“秘密地”；in excess 意为“超过”。所以，本题选 A。2.In his view. though Hong

24、Kong has no direct cultural identity, local art is thriving by “being _, “being open to all kinds of art.（分数：2.50）A.gratifyingB.predominatingC.excellingD.accommodating 解析：解析 由句子前后关系看，空白处后面的 being open to all kinks of art应当视作对空白处词的进一步解释。也就是说，空白处的词应当与后面的 being open to all kinds of art同义。再看四个选项，只有 acco

25、mmodating适合，意思是 helpful and willing to do what someone else wants，即“友好，愿意给予合作”。gratifying 意为“使满足”；predominating 意为“占主导地位”；excelling意为“超过”。所以，本题选 D。3.In some countries preschool education in nursery schools or kindergartens _ the 1st grade.（分数：2.50）A.leadsB.precedes C.forwardsD.advances解析：解析 从四个选项都有“

26、前”的意思可推测，句子的大意是“在有些国家，小学一年级之前有幼儿园的学前教育”。从结构看，空白处要求填入一个及物动词，表示“先于(后者)”，故选 precedes，意思是 to be earlier than。例如：The playing of the national anthem precedes all sports events. (所有的运动比赛赛前都要奏国歌。)lead 做及物动词时，意思是“领导，指引”；forward 意为“递送，转寄”，如：Make sure that my mail will be forwarded promptly. (要保证尽快地把我的信转给我。)ad

27、vance 意为“提前”，与 postpone相对，如：The meeting has been advanced to ten o“clock. (会议被提前到 10点开。)所以，本题选 B。4.Desert plants _ two categories according to the way they deal with the problem of surviving drought.（分数：2.50）A.break downB.fall into C.differ inD.refer to解析：解析 从所给信息看，句子大意是“沙漠植物根据其对抗干旱的能力分为两类”。四个选项中，只有

28、 fall into用于此意义。再如：The poem falls into four cantos(这首诗可分为四章)。Those problems fall naturally into several main classes(那些问题很自然地分为几大类)。break down 意为“毁掉，制服，压倒”；differ in 意为“不同”；refer to 意为“指，谈到，参照”。所以，本题选B。5.In the airport. I could hear nothing except the roar of aircraft engines which _ all other sound

29、s.（分数：2.50）A.dwarfedB.diminishedC.drowned D.devastated解析：解析 本题四个选项在拼写上较接近，但词义不同。dwarf 常用意思为 to cause to appear small by comparison，即“使相形见绌”，如：The new tall building dwarfs all the little shops(新建的高楼使所有那些小商店相形见绌)。diminish 的意思是 cause to become or seem smaller，即“减少，缩小”，如：His illness diminished his stren

30、gth(他的疾病使他身体变弱了)。drown的意思是 to cover up a sound by making a loud noise，即“(噪音)掩盖”，如：The noise of the train drowned his voice(火车的噪音淹没了他的声音)。devastate 的意思是 to destroy completely，即“毁灭，破坏”，如：Their houses were devastated in the flood(他们的房子在洪水中被毁了)。相比之下，drowned 应该是正确答案。所以，本题选 C。6.Criticism without suggestin

31、g areas of improvement is not _ and should be avoided if possible.（分数：2.50）A.constructive B.productiveC.descriptiveD.relative解析：解析 原句意思为“没有提出改进方面的批评不是_，如果可能的话，也应当避免”。空白处的词是对这种批评的评价，根据句意，应选 constructive，“积极的，建设性 0的”。即“这种批评不是建设性的或有助于改进的”。productive 意为“产出的”；descriptive 意为“描述的”；relative意为“有关的”。所以，本题选 A。

32、7.The Committee pronounced four members expelled for failure to provide information in the _ of investigations.（分数：2.50）A.caseB.chaseC.causeD.course 解析：解析 in the course of 意为“在的过程中”，如：In the course of that fight we have won victories(在那场战斗中我们取得了多次胜利)。In the course of their investigation they made a

33、discovery that helped to solve a six-year-old mystery(在调查过程中，他们发现了一样东西，那东西使他们得以揭开了一个长达 6年之久的谜团)。case 通常用在 in case of结构中，意为“万一”；cause 表示“原因”，也可以表示“事业”；chase 意为“追赶”，不用于 in the.of结构中。所以，本题选 D。8.Since neither side was ready to _ what was necessary for peace, hostility was resumed in 1980.（分数：2.50）A.prec

34、edeB.recedeC.concede D.intercede解析：解析 原句意思是“由于双方都不愿意_和平的必要条件，1980 年他们之间又恢复了敌对状态”。根据上下文，应当选 concede，意思是 to give something to someone as a right or privilege，often unwillingly 即“让步”。recede 意为“后退，撤销”；precede 意为“在前，先于”；intercede 意为“仲裁，说情”。所以，本题选 C。9.Such an _ act of hostility can only lead to war.（分数：2.

35、50）A.overt B.episodicC.ampleD.ultimate解析：解析 句子意思为“这种_的敌意行为只能导致战争”。overt 意为“公然的，明显的”；ample意为“充足的，丰富的”；episodic 意为“插话式的，短暂的”；ultimate 意为“最终的，主要的”。相比之下，只有 overt最合题意。所以，本题选 A。10._ both in working life and everyday living to different sets of values, and expectations places a severe strain on the individ

36、ual.（分数：2.50）A.RecreationB.TransactionC.DisclosureD.Exposure 解析：解析 句子结构是这样：空白处的词作主语，谓语部分是 places a severe strain.，both in working life and everyday living是状语，空白处的词应与 to different sets of values形成习惯搭配。再看句子意思，“无论是在工作还是日常生活中，对于不同的价值观念和期待的_都会使个体很紧张。”根据以上分析，应当选 exposure，即“暴露，置身于”。disclosure 意为“揭发，泄漏”；tra

37、nsaction意为“处理，执行”；recreation 意为“消遣，娱乐”，这三个词从结构上就无法与 to形成习惯搭配。所以，本题选 D。11.It would then be replaced by an interim government, which would _ be replaced by a permanent government after four months.（分数：2.50）A.in stepB.in turn C.in practiceD.in haste解析：解析 句子意思为“它会被一个过渡政府所取代，而这个过渡政府在四个月后又会被一个永久性的政府所取代”。从

38、结构上来讲，逗号后面是一个非限制性定语从句，which 是先行词，指代前面的 an interim government。也就是说，前面提到的事情(replaced by.)同样会发生在后面提到的事物身上。据此，应当用 in turn，即“转而，又做同样的事”。如：He found that Rose had told Jack，s sister. and she in turn had told Jack(他发现 Rose告诉了 Jack的姐姐，而 Jack的姐姐又告诉了Jack)。in step 意为“逐步地”；in practice 意为“实际上，在实践中”；in haste 意为“匆忙

39、地，草率地”。所以，本题选 B。12.Haven“t I told you I don“t want you keeping _ with those awful riding-about bicycle boys?（分数：2.50）A.company B.acquaintanceC.friendsD.place解析：解析 keep company with someone 是惯用法，表示“与某人为伴、交往”。用在此，句子的意思是“我不是告诉过你，我不想让你和那些骑着自行车到处跑的讨厌的男孩们来往吗?”再例如：Never keep company with dishonest persons(

40、永远不要与不诚实的人交往)。keep friends with somebody 意为“与某人保持友好关系”，此处不如 keep company with somebody意义确切；acquaintance 指“人际关系”，常用于 make somebody“s acquaintance结构中，意为“初次结识某人；place 可以用于 keep a place for someone，意为“为某人占位子”。所以，本题选 A。13.Consumers deprived of the information and advice they needed were quite simply _ ve

41、ry cheat in the marketplace.（分数：2.50）A.at the mercy of B.in lieu ofC.by courtesy ofD.for the price of解析：解析 句中的(be)deprived of.意为“被剥夺了”，在此句的意思相当于(be)short of. 即“缺乏(信息)而且未被给以(必要的忠告的消费者们)”。据此推知，后面句子的大意是“很容易在市场上受骗上当”，因此选用 at the mercy of，意思是“任摆布，在前毫无办法”。再如：The champion had the other boxer at his mercy(这

42、位冠军拳击手征服了他的对手)。in lieu of 意为“替代”；by courtesy of 意为“在的允许下”；for the price of 不是同定用法，但可以说 sell two things for the price of one(两件商品只收一件的钱)。所以，本题选 A。14.Communicating orally involves more than reading or talking: gesture, posture, movements may all be _ to it.（分数：2.50）A.intrinsic B.coherentC.appealingD.s

43、ubmissive解析：解析 原句意思为：口头交流不只涉及阅读和谈话：手势、姿态和运动对于口头交流都可能是。intrinsic意思为“being part of the nature or character of someone or something”，即“本质的，原有的”，在原句中指前面提到的现象都是口头交流的本质特点；coherent 为“连贯的，有条理的”，一般指谈话本身或文字；appealing 意为“有感染力的，吸引人的”，与句意不符；submissive“顺从的，任人摆布的”，一般只用于人。所以只有 intrinsic符合题意，本题选 A。15.He did not tell

44、 his parents because he knew they would try to change his mind but he _ in a colleague at work.（分数：2.50）A.involvedB.joinedC.engrossedD.confided 解析：解析 这个句子是由 but连接的表示转折的并列句。前面提到他怕父母会让他改变主意所以没有告诉他们，but 引导的从句应该与前面表达的意思形成对比，即表示(把那件事)告诉了他的同事，所以选confide“吐露(秘密)”。另外，此处作为不及物动词与 in搭配，只有 confide符合结构要求。engross常

45、用于“engross oneself in.”或“be engrossed in.”，意思为“全神贯注地做”；involve用于“：involve oneself in.”或“be involved in.”，指“参与”；join 是及物动词，应直接带宾语，意为“参加，加入。所以，本题选 D。16.In no _ should you do this without help and advice from your doctor-restricting the diet of small children can be very dangerous.（分数：2.50）A.perspectiv

46、esB.restrictionsC.circumstances D.consequences解析：解析 in(under)no circumstances“条件、情况”是固定搭配，意为“在任何情况下都不”，作为状语放在句首时，句子的主谓结构要倒装，再如：In no circumstances must a soldier leave his post(任何情况下，士兵都不能离开岗位)。perspectives“观点，想法”，restrictions“限制”和consequences“后果，结果”此处都不符合语义或结构的要求。所以，本题选 C。17.The idea was just begin

47、ning to _ in America and we knew that it was going to become the way that retailing companies were run.（分数：2.50）A.show upB.catch on C.open outD.get by解析：解析 catch on 的意思为“受欢迎，变得风行起来，开始为大家所接受”，在此，符合句意。再如：The idea of classes being a fashion item has been slow to catch on. (眼镜作为一种时尚物件，很长时间才为人们接受)。show u

48、p 指“来到，露面”；open out 意为“展开，打开”；get by 意为“过去，通过，维持生活”。所以，本题选 B。18.Without Bob“s testimony, evidence of bribery is lacking and _ in the case will be impossible.（分数：2.50）A.verdictB.sentenceC.conviction D.acquittal解析：解析 句子意思为：如果没有 Bob的证词，则受贿证据不足，因此这个案子的_就是不可能的。根据上下文，只能填 conviction，即“判有罪，定罪”。verdict 一般指陪审团的裁决或裁断当事人是否有罪；sentence 意为“宣判，判决”，发生在认定有罪之后；acquittal 意为“宣判无罪”。所以，本题选 C。19.Pupils often want to sit next to their particular friend and many classroom activities involve moving about, but even relatively small alt
