19、知选项中 D 最符合逻辑。2 【正确答案】 F【试题解析】 根据文中空格前的内容：开始工作时，该设备连接到孩子的手腕，孩子也很难脱掉；以及空格后“It would give you a Google Maps image with their exact location，the street name andthe zip code(它会给你一个他们的确切位置的谷歌地图图像，还有街道名称和邮政编码)”，两者相联系，可知选项 F 最符合逻辑。3 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 空格位于段末，根据空格前的内容：当一个孩子带有设备，家长发送短信“你在哪里”，孩子的当前位置就会发送到手机或电脑，可知选

20、项 C 最符合逻辑。4 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 空格位于段末，根据空格前的内容：你也可以设置一个界限，一个隐形防护网，如果他们踏出你在互联网上的这个无形的栅栏，你就会收到警告，可知选项 A 最符合逻辑。5 【正确答案】 E【试题解析】 空格位于末段句尾，根据空格前的内容：他说，自从这一周推出设备以来，该公司已收到成千上万的关于此产品的询问。“50是正面的，50是负面的，因为有人认为这干涉人身自由”，可知选项中 E 最符合逻辑。二、填词补文6 【正确答案】 K【试题解析】 此空和 the growth 是并列成分，因此需要填一个名词，本文标题就是 the developmentof mas

21、s media，全文也在讲大众媒体的发展，与文章题目照应，和全文意思一致，此空很明显需要填 development，因此应选 K。7 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 此处旨在考查对固定词组和用法的积累。be traced back to 属于固定词组，意思是“追溯到”，其他的单词放在此处意思都不顺，此句意思是“大众媒体的历史可以追溯到早期戏剧以各种文化形式表演的时代”，因此此题应选 A。8 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 此句需要填一个动词，didnt 后面需要接动词原形，纵观备选单词，有三个动词：provide，prosper 和 became。became 时态不对，provide 是及物动词

22、，后面必须要有宾语，此处后面没有宾语，故 became 和 provide 都排除，prosper 的意思是“兴盛，繁荣”，prosper 最适合此句句意：“由于当时纸张昂贵再加上多数人是文盲，报纸并没有兴盛起来”，因此应选 B。9 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 此处需要填一个名词，备选单词中只有两个名词：origin 和development，development 前面已用，故排除，所以只剩 origin 了，origin 的意思是“起源，根源”，origin 非常符合此句句意“关于大众媒体的起源”，因此应选C。10 【正确答案】 E【试题解析】 此处需要填一个形容词作定语修饰名词 sou

23、rce。备选单词中有四个形容词：latest 的意思是“ 最新的，最近的”，accessible 的意思是“易接近的，可达到的”，primary 的意思是“最早的，原始的”，various 的意思是“各种各样的”。根据上下文判断作者这儿表达的是“欧洲自夸是最早的源头”，其他几个单词放在这儿句意不对，故都排除，primary 最符合此处意思，因此应选 E。11 【正确答案】 L【试题解析】 此处逗号前面需要填一个副词来修饰整个句子，备选单词中有两个副词：gradually 和 extremely，前者意思是“逐渐地，慢慢地 ”，后者意思是“尤其是”，本文讲的是大众媒介逐步发展的过程，所以此处选

24、gradually，extremely 放在此处非常突兀不符合此句意思，故排除，因此此题应选 L。12 【正确答案】 F【试题解析】 此处缺少谓语动词，根据同一句子前后时态一致原则，此处动词需要用过去式，纵观备选单词，有三个动词：provide ，prosper 和 became，前两个动词都是动词原形，语法不对，故都排除，只有 became 是过去式；此外只有became 是系动词，后面可接 popular 作表语，因此此处应选 F。13 【正确答案】 G【试题解析】 此处缺少的成分和 most popular 属于并列成分，因此此处需要填一个形容词，备选单词中四个形容词 latest，ac

25、cessible，primary ，various，根据上下文语境和意思，latest 最适合句意： “因特网成为最新和最受欢迎的大众媒体 ”，其他几个形容词不符合此处意思，故排除，因此本题应选 G。14 【正确答案】 J【试题解析】 此处缺少形容词作表语，备选单词中的四个形容词 latest 和primary 已用过，只剩 accessible 和 various 了，很明显此处填 accessible 最适合此句句意：“通过各种网站和搜索引擎很容易获得信息”，因此此题应选 J。15 【正确答案】 H【试题解析】 此处需要填一个形容词作定语修饰名词 topic，备选单词中的四个形容词现只剩

26、various 没用过，同时，此处填 various 也与上句的 various 形成照应，various 非常适合此句句意：“因特网提供了关于各个主题的信息”，因此此题选 H。三、完形补文16 【正确答案】 warning【试题解析】 本句空白处放在形容词 old 之后，提示需填入名词，因此，将提示词动词 warn 加上后缀-ing 改成名词 warning，意为“警戒，警告”。本句句意理解为“和时间不等人的古训相悖的是”。17 【正确答案】 distant【试题解析】 本句空白处放在名词 future 前，提示需填入形容词来修饰它，因此，将提示词名词 distance 改为形容词 dist

27、ant 放入句中符合句意。18 【正确答案】 discovered【试题解析】 作为转折从句，该从句句法结构不完整，缺少谓语成分，因此要把提示词动词 discover 改成正确的形式填入空白处。从句的主语 no form of matter和 discover 的关系应该是被动的，因此应把 discover 加上-ed 改为过去分词discovered 填入句中。19 【正确答案】 scientific【试题解析】 本句空白处放在名词 experiments 前面，提示需要填入形容词来修饰 experiments，因此把提示词名词 science 改为 scientific 填入空白处即可，填

28、入后意为“科学实验已经证明”。20 【正确答案】 stretched【试题解析】 本句句意“加速运动使时间变长。”根据句意，名词 time 和动词stretch 的关系应该是被动的，因此提示词动词 stretch 加上一 ed 改成 stretched 即可。21 【正确答案】 relativity【试题解析】 本句句意是“在他的什么理论里，他引入了相对时间的概念”。在本句中将提示词形容词 relative 改成 relativity 填入空白处即为 theory of relativity(爱因斯坦提出的重要理论相对论)。因此，平时学习语言的过程中也要重视知识的积累。22 【正确答案】 ex

29、istence【试题解析】 本句空白处放在形容词 suspected 后面提示需要填入名词，因此，将提示词动词 exist 加上后缀一 ence 改成名词 existence 即可。23 【正确答案】 mastering【试题解析】 本句空白处放在 and 后面提示填入的部分应该和 and 之前的成分保持一致，and 之前 all obsession with timesaving 是名词成分，因此，将提示词动词 master 加上一 ing 改成动名词 mastering 作主语即可。24 【正确答案】 measured【试题解析】 本句空白处放在 be 动词之后以及介词 by 之前，根据句

30、意可以判断此处应该是被动语态。因此，把提示词动词 measure 加上-ed 变成过去分词measure 填入句中合乎语法。25 【正确答案】 measurable【试题解析】 本空白处提示词和上空白处提示词相同，都是动词 measure。相同的是，本句空白处也是放在 be 动词之后以及介词 by 之前，但是根据句意“因此使用沙漏，闹钟等的工具，时间和时间的相对性能够测量”，因此，此空白处应把提示词 measure 加上后缀一 able 改成 measurable(可测量的)更加符合句意。四、短文写作26 【正确答案】 Is It Harder for an Adult to Learn Ne

31、w Languages?Most people think that the older you get, the harder it is to learn a new language. This is because they believe that children learn languages more easily and efficiently than adults. Thus, at some point in our lives, maybe around ages 12 or 13, we lose the ability to learn language well

32、. Is it true that children learn a foreign language more efficiently than adults? It may not necessarily be the cause. In fact, the ability to learn language increases as the age increases, from childhood to adulthood.There are several possible explanations for these findings. For one thing, adults

33、know more about the world and, therefore, are able to understand things more easily than children. Moreover, adults can use logical thinking to help them see patterns in the language. Finally, adults have more self discipline than children.All in all, the common conception that children are better language learners than adults may not necessarily be true. Hopefully, this would encourage adult learners to become successful language learners, no matter what new language they want to learn.
