In humans, not so much.（分数：40.00）(1).【B1】（分数：2.00）A.consciousnessB.toleranceC.sincerityD.concerns 解析：解析：语义逻辑题，兼考查词义辨析。上文说到美国财政部重新设计了 5 美元、10 美元、20 美元和 50 美元的纸币。而空格所在的小句提到了“faking”，我们可以看

28、出，重新设计纸币和伪钞有关。由此可以判断出空格处填入“关注的事”最佳。D 项符合题意。(2).【B2】（分数：2.00）A.caught up with B.caught inC.led toD.led in解析：解析：语义逻辑题，兼考查词组意义辨析。这句话主要讲的是面值 100 元的纸币，根据上文提到的“重新设计 5 元、10 元、20 元和 50 元的纸币”和空格后的宾语 its fellows，可推断出 100 元的纸币是相继上述面值的纸币而推出的。四个选项中，只有 A 项“跟上、赶上”符合这一语义。因此，A 项符合题意。(3).【B3】（分数：2.00）A.survivalB.circ

29、ulation C.maintenanceD.coordination解析：解析：语义逻辑题，兼考查搭配问题。根据常识：100 元的纸币是用来流通的，其价值也是在流通中体现的。据此可以判断，此处空格应该填入表示“流通”的词语，且空格前有介词 in，要考虑搭配问题，因此，B 项符合题意。in circulation 此处意为“在流通的”。(4).【B4】（分数：2.00）A.usageB.existenceC.use D.application解析：解析：语义逻辑题，兼考查词义辨析。根据空格前的 weather more than seven years 和空格后所提到的“一元纸币只能供使用 2

30、1 个月”，可推断出此处空格要填入能表示“使用”的词。四个选项中，只有 C 项是符合题意的。(5).【B5】（分数：2.00）A.toB.inC.onD.at 解析：解析：固定搭配题。考查名词和介词的搭配。空格处需填入介词和 attempt 组合成表示“尝试”的短语，只有 D 项符合题意。attempt at 意为“在某方面尝试、努力、企图”。如：Their first attempt at a solution was un-successful(6).【B6】（分数：2.00）A.longevity B.spanC.assumptionD.regulation解析：解析：语义逻辑题。需要联

31、系上下文。前文中提到 100 元纸币可以用 7 年，而 1 元钱只能用 21 个月。也就是说前面几句话都是在讨论纸币的寿命。由 the same kind 可推断出空格所在句子承接上文依然在讨论货币的寿命，意为“大陆币没有那么长寿”。四个选项中可以表示“长寿、寿命”的只有 A 项。(7).【B7】（分数：2.00）A.retainB.arrangeC.succeedD.fund 解析：解析：语义逻辑题。空格处应填入动词与 war 构成动宾搭配，表明生产那么多货币的目的。根据常识可知，战争会花费很多资金故可推出那些货币是用来为战争提供资金的。四个选项中只有 D 项表示“资助、为提供资金”。(8)

32、.【B8】（分数：2.00）A.declinedB.deprivedC.depreciated D.appreciated解析：解析：语义逻辑题，兼考查词义辨析。需要联系上下文，并结合常识，做出正确判断。空格所在句子的前半部分提到，为了资助战争发行了大量的货币。根据经济规律，货币发行量太大，必然导致贬值。因此，空格处应填入表示“贬值”意义的词。C 项符合题意。(9).【B9】（分数：2.00）A.initiatedB.uncoveredC.authorized D.originated解析：解析：语义逻辑题。需要结合常识，做出正确的选择。这句话的主语是 Congress(国会)。在美国，一切重

33、大事情都是由国会批准或授权的。因此，此处空格应填入表示“授权、批准”等意义的词。只有 C项符合题意。(10).【B10】（分数：2.00）A.fake B.grandC.realD.complete解析：解析：语义逻辑题。此题需联系前文加以理解。前面一句话说，1863 年国会批准发行法定纸币，其中很多都极容易仿制。文中 money circulating at the time 提示了空格所在句子是承接上句内容进行描述的，因此可以判断空格处应填入表示“假币、假的”等意义的词。只有 A 项符合题意。(11).【B11】（分数：2.00）A.noneB.more C.lessD.some解析：解析

34、：语义逻辑题。需要联系上下文，考虑句子间的逻辑关系。这句话的关键词是 but，它表示转折关系。前面一句话提到，当时流通的货币大概有三分之一都是假币。按常理，应该减少发行。但转折词but 语义直转，表明政府并没有这么做，即还继续制造更多的货币。因此，正确答案应该是 B 项。(12).【B12】（分数：2.00）A.coinsB.financeC.currency D.banks解析：解析：语义逻辑题。需要联系上下文，并结合常识做出判断。前文一直在谈论货币问题，而铸印局也是制作货币的专门机构。因此，空格处应当填入表示“货币”的词。C 项符合题意。(13).【B13】（分数：2.00）A.autom

35、ated B.industrializedC.artificialD.materialized解析：解析：语义逻辑题。需要联系上下文，结合句子间的逻辑关系，才能做出正确的选择。本题的关键词是 before，在此处表明其前后内容有对比的意思。前面说人工剪裁、签署货币，与此相对应的当然是“自动化”。因此。A 项符合题意。(14).【B14】（分数：2.00）A.spiritB.likeness C.bodyD.constitution解析：解析：语义逻辑题。需要联系上下文，并结合常识。美国钱币上通常印有总统的画像，而句子后半部分也解释了硬币的具体内容是“林肯像”。由此可以判断出，此处空格应该填入表

36、示“相貌、像、画像”等意义的词，与空格前的动词 feature 构成动宾搭配，只有 B 项符合题意。(15).【B15】（分数：2.00）A.underB.despite C.againstD.as解析：解析：联接词题。考查句内逻辑关系。空格所缺词应该是联接词。它所联接的前半部分意为“制作一枚一美分的硬币，需要 16 美分”，后半部分意为“这种硬币比其他面额的硬币生产得多”。根据常理，既然制作成本比实际面值还高，应该少铸造这种硬币才是，但事实却是 more pennies are produced。由此可判断，此处需要填入表示让步关系的联接词。B 项符合题意。(16).【B16】（分数：2.0

37、0）A.PopularB.Well-recievedC.Short-lived D.Notorious解析：解析：语义逻辑题。这句话的关键是 had no such luck“没有如此的好运”，“好运”指的就是前一句话中提到的：即使造一美分硬币需要 16 美分，这种硬币还是比其他面额的硬币生产得多。而下文由表并列关系的连词 and 引导分句指出“10 万美元的纸币虽然印刷过却从未发行过”，综合分析前后的逻辑关系，可以判断出这里说的 500 元面值等纸币应该是“短命的”，因此，C 项符合题意。(17).【B17】（分数：2.00）A.thusB.soC.otherwiseD.though 解析：

38、解析：联接词题。考查句子间的逻辑关系。前文说到一美分硬币的流行，空格所在句子说大面值纸币的短命。两个句子间是转折关系。只有 D 项符合题意，表转折。(18).【B18】（分数：2.00）A.With B.BeyondC.AmongD.Despite解析：解析：语义逻辑题。考查逻辑关系和介词的用法。空格处应填入介词，与后面的名词性短语构成介宾搭配在句中作状语。表示伴随状态。四个选项中只有 with 能表示伴随状态，故答案为 A 项。(19).【B19】（分数：2.00）A.intermittentB.optimisticC.continual D.continental解析：解析：语义逻辑题，兼

39、考查词义辨析。此题需要联系上文加以理解。文中第二段提到，1863 年发行的法定货币极容易仿制，当时流通的货币有三分之一是假币。此处空格所在句子则提到了更新货币的安全特征，由此可见，这应该是一个持续的过程，只有 C 项符合题意。(20).【B20】（分数：2.00）A.SupportB.Trust C.RespectD.Interrogate解析：解析：语义逻辑题，兼考查搭配。这个句子是倒装句，正常语序为“Wein God”，因此，填入空格的词需要和 in 搭配。结合题中的四个选项，可以判断出 B 项为正确答案，意为“信任、相信”。According to myth, Rwanda“s anci

46、过程，四个选项中只有 D项符合题意。(2).【B2】（分数：2.00）A.AfterB.InC.BeforeD.With 解析：解析：语义逻辑题。空格处所缺的是介词，它的宾语是 this new technology。根据其后的内容他教臣民制作武器和斧子，可知这里应填入一个含有“用，运用”含义的介词，选 D 项。(3).【B3】（分数：2.00）A.throneB.emperorC.power D.conquest解析：解析：语义逻辑题，考查词义辨析。前文提到，铁可以作为武器御敌，又可以砍伐树林，代表着先进的战斗力和生产力，可以判断，铁在当时是一种权力之源，即拥有了冶铁方法，也就拥有了权力。因

47、此，C 项符合题意。(4).【B4】（分数：2.00）A.ambitiousB.mythical C.inspiringD.imaginary解析：解析：语义逻辑题，考查词义辨析。ironworkers 后面 who 引导的定语从句表明这些铁匠是“来自天堂或其他大陆”，言外之意是人们不知道他们不知从何而来，是神话般的、具有神话色彩的。因此，B项符合题意。(5).【B5】（分数：2.00）A.influencesB.underlines C.endangersD.accelerates解析：解析：句子的主语是 The prevalence of such legends(关于铁匠的传说的广泛流传)，宾语是 the impor-tance of ironworking(铸铁的重要性)，可见这里缺少了“表明，加强，强调，突出”等意义的动词作谓语。underline 意为“强调，表明的重要性，加强”，完全符合句意。(6).【B6】（分数：2.00）A.spurred B.justifiedC.erectedD.prevented解析：解析：语义逻辑题，考查词义辨析。解题关键词是空格后的 growth，且根据上文的种种表述，可判断铸铁的工艺是“促进”发展的，因而排除 D 项选 A 项。(7).【B7】（分数：2.00）A.in fact
