30、 Professor Paxson said, the humanities help us【C19】_life more and endure it better. The reason we need the humanities is because were human. Thats【C20】_.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.themeB.disputeC.issue D.inquiry解析：解析：空格前定冠词 The 表明所需名词应指上文出现过的事物。推断该词的语义应有“问题”之意，以回指上句提到的问题。故 C 项 issue“议题，问题”正确。(2).【

31、C2】（分数：2.00）A.reviews B.compositionsC.abstractsD.summaries解析：解析：空格处于 in 引导的状语中，指明讨论上述问题的地点或场所，且与 columns“(报纸上的)专栏”有较密切语义关系。A 项 reviews 作名词时意为“评论，述评”，可指针对为什么需要英语专业这一问题而发表的意见。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.wrongB.dying C.classicalD.desperate解析：解析：句子前半段提到拉丁语已从大学课程中消失，并且英语专业也步其后尘。由此可知空格后的a dead subject 指的是拉丁语，而 cho

32、ice 指的是英语专业。因此 B 项 dying“将死的，垂死的”可满足语义要求，指英语专业即将消失。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.toB.with C.fromD.in解析：解析：本句是支撑 The English major is vanishing 的论据，空格处介词搭配 graduated 后连接an English major 应表示“1，560 名毕业生中，仅有 16 名英语专业的毕业生”。B 项 with 可表示伴随，故正确。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.small B.interestingC.objectiveD.special解析：解析：句子提到“1，560

33、 名毕业生中，仅有 16 名英语专业的毕业生”，可见英语专业的毕业生很少，因此空格处形容词代入短语后应有“数量很少”之意，故选 A 项 small“小的”，表示是很小的数字。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.In conclusionB.By contrastC.In response D.On average解析：解析：逗号后句子指出“为英语专业辩护的言论有所上升”，这说明一部分人针对上述问题提出了看法。所需连接词应体现为英语专业辩护与上述问题间的逻辑关系故 C 项 In response“作为回应，为此”符合逻辑要求。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.improving onB.c

34、oncerning overC.battling againstD.rooting for 解析：解析：空格所在的 to one介词短语中，one 用作不定代词，指任意一个人；them 指代defenses，连同表示目的的 to persuade 一起作 one 的定语。根据表示递进意义的 even 及短语中各成分的语义关系，可以推测此人(one)赞同用辩护言论(defenses)来说服(to persuade)他人去认识英语专业的必要性。D 项 rooting for“支持”满足此语义要求，代入后短语意为“对于那些赞同为英语专业辩护的人来说”。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.insis

35、ting B.protestingC.predictingD.admitting解析：解析：句中 one，the other介绍的是两种辩护言论，连接 one 和 that 从句的词需说明 that English majors make better people 是一些人持有的观点。A 项 insisting“坚称，认定”代入后，指第一种言论“坚称英语专业让人们变得更优秀”。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.outB.offC.upD.for 解析：解析：此处表明的是另一种辩护，认为英语专业能为促进社会的发展。D 项 for 代入后组成 make for 的固定短语，意为“有利于，让得

36、以实现”。(10).【C10】（分数：2.00）A.disciplines B.principlesC.valuesD.ideals解析：解析：破折号一般起进一步解释说明的作用。历史、文学等科目都属于人文学科，故 A 项disciplines“课程，学科”符合语义要求。(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）A.thoughB.because C.henceD.while解析：解析：所需连词应体现出“我们需要人文学科”与“它们(指人文学科)最终可能给予我们真正热爱的东西”间的逻辑关系。显然，后者是得出前一语义的依据，因此需要体现其因果关系的连接词，故 B项 because“因为”正确。(12).

37、【C12】（分数：2.00）A.otherwiseB.meanwhileC.therefore D.moreover解析：解析：and 前分句指出“我们并不总是了解当下正在学习的东西能在未来带给我们什么益处”，空格后分句则说明“不应该急于抗拒某些研究”。两者间存在因果的逻辑关系，故选 C 项 therefore“因此”。(13).【C13】（分数：2.00）A.demandingB.deserving C.enduringD.affecting解析：解析：根据该表达中的比较级形式，可推理所需形容词的逻辑主语应是 some forms of research(某些研究类别)，lessthan o

38、thers 应意为“(某些研究类别)不如其他的研究”。通常，人们会因为某个事物不具备研究价值而拒绝对它进行研究。B 项 deserving“值得的”置于否定词 less后指 some forms of research 不值得研究。(14).【C14】（分数：2.00）A.derivesB.recoversC.differsD.suffers 解析：解析：冒号后表达提到英语学科自身的缺陷(discontents)，由此可推测空格处动词应说明 The study of English 所处的这一困境。D 项 suffers 与介词 from 组成固定搭配“遭受，因而受苦(损)”，可满足此语义要求

39、，指英语学科“苦于其自身缺陷”。(15).【C15】（分数：2.00）A.inevitable B.immediateC.ultimateD.essential解析：解析：所需形容词和 natural 并列，说明爱好阅读以及读后感是 literacy(读写能力)带来的结果(consequence)。根据“阅读”及“谈论感想”和 literacy 间的逻辑关系，可认为它们是读写能力自然或必然的结果。A 项 inevitable“不可避免的”正确。(16).【C16】（分数：2.00）A.advocatesB.supports C.protectsD.creates解析：解析：上句说明阅读以及谈论

40、读书感想是具有读写能力的结果和体现，而读写能力则来自于英语知识的学习。因此应认为是“阅读兴趣”让英语系有存在的理由。B 项 supports“支持，支撑”代入后可指人们的阅读需求维系着英语系。(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）A.sense B.planC.funD.awareness解析：解析：所需动词承接上一分句，说明存在英语专业的必要性。A 项 sense，make sense of 是固定搭配。意为“弄清楚，理解意义”，可指使英语专业的存在有意义。(18).【C18】（分数：2.00）A.SinceB.AsC.If D.Although解析：解析：从句中动词 closed down

41、 用的是一般过去时，这与本段其他动词的一般现在时有所不同而主句中谓语动词的形式是“would+动词原形”，可判断 we closed down是与事实相反的陈述。本句是虚拟语气的用法，选引导虚拟条件的 C 项 if。(19).【C19】（分数：2.00）A.honorB.justifyC.enjoy D.cherish解析：解析：第二段谈到 Paxson 认同第二种辩护言论，即认为英语专业(至少人文学科)能创造更美好的社会，能最终给予我们真正热爱的东西(giving us other stuff we actually like)。推断她认为人文学科具有积极作用，能帮助我们更好地享受生活，选

42、C 项 enjoy“享受”。(20).【C20】（分数：2.00）A.excellentB.strangeC.funnyD.enough 解析：解析：句子主语 That 指代上一句的内容，因此可认为修饰 That 的表语即所需形容词应对前一句子的语义进行概括或评论。前一句子意为“我们需要人文学科是因为我们是人类”，结合文章主题，可知此理由从根本上说明人文学科以及英语专业存在的必要性。D 项 enough“足够的”代入后强调这一理由足以支持人文学科，符合逻辑要求。Look at your smartphone. Think about the decisions you will make on

43、 it today. You may snatch a dinner【C1】_, tell your spouse youre running late, or【C2】_a response to an email from your boss.
