When the mimosa is stimulatedsay, by a crawling insect or a sudden change in temperaturean electrical impulse sweeps thr

For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that

46、 best completes the sentence. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.1 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 A 项的“known as”意思为“作为而闻名”；B 项“known to”意思为“对闻名”；C 项搭配不正确；D 项的“known for” 意思为“因为而闻名”。答案为 D，全句意思为“北京因为其漂亮的风景和长城而闻名于世 ”。 2 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 注意“what”和“that/which” 的区别：what=the thing tha

47、t/which。本句话空格前面没有名词或代词，所以不能使用引导词“that/which”。全句意思为“把自己不知道的事情想成知道的事情不是一件好事”。 3 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 “beyond my understanding”是常用表达法，意思为“不可理解或理解不了”。 4 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 本句话的关键是明确问句与回答的对应关系。由于本对话的回答是“一个月至少一次。”其问句肯定是“多久?”。C 项“how often”意思为“多久”，是正确答案。 5 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 本题属于近义词用法。A 项意思为 “金融”；B 项意思为“资金”；C项意思为“贷款”；D

48、项意思为“债务”。本句话的大意为从银行贷款买房子。 6 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 注意引导词“that”和“which”的区别：前面有逗号应该用“which”。全句意思为“海伦偏爱她最小的孩子，当然，这使其他人很嫉妒。” 7 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 D 项“neglect”意思为“忽视”，最符合本句话的语境。全句大意为：“不做作业就可能考试不及格”。 8 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 注意句子的前半句“I suppose”是插入语，去掉也不影响句子结构。关键是看清主句“you are not serious”。反疑问句要与主句所对应。主句是否定式，反问句就用肯定式。 9 【正确答案】

49、 B【试题解析】 A 项意思为“一般而言”；B 项意思为 “共有”；C 项意思为“总共”；D 项意思为“无论如何”。全句意思为“你们两位的相同点太多了 ”。 10 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 注意“as well as”为介词词组，其作用类似于连词，但结构上不按连词要求使用，所以后面连接的“his students”不能从形式上当主语看待。本句的主语只是“The teacher”，属于单数第三人称，谓语动词用单数形式。此外，介词“by”的使用说明句子是被动语态。 二、Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages, each followed by five questions or unfinished statements.
