D.Trip第一篇解析：1.【答案】A根據下一句及隨后的內容，作者講的是怎樣成為動物愛好者的(從小就喜歡動物)，應當選擇A.how。2.【答案】Cinthefirstplace是固定短語,意思是“首先”。此句意思是：別人經常問到的問題之一，是當初我是如何愛上動物的。3.【答案】A這句話的意思是：作者在呀呀學語之時,最早發清楚的音是“zoo”(動物園),而不是“媽媽”,“爸爸”,因此,應選clarity“清晰”。填入其他選項emotion(感情),sentiment(多愁善感),affection(友愛)不合邏輯。4.【答案】Bbut在此處連接另一個句子(itwastheword“zoo”,“itwas”被省略)，表示轉折，意為“而是”，Except,exceptfor,butfor的用法接近，表示“除了……”。5.【答案】D根據后面的overandoveragain,應選“repeat”6.【答案】C小孩想去動物園,便不停地發出尖叫聲,故選“voice”。Ashrillvoice及scream的意思接近。volume(音量)；noise(噪音)；pitch(音調)均不合要求。7.【答案】Bshutsb.up是指讓某人住口，為了讓孩子停止尖叫，只好帶他去動物園。8.【答案】A根據后面主句的時態，此處只能用一般過去時。9.【答案】Cagreatmany后直接跟可數名詞的復數形式；agreat/largeamountof后跟不可數名詞；只有agreat/largenumberof后可以跟可數名詞的復數形式。10.【答案】Dliving后必須接介詞in，意為“居住”；cultivating耕種；reclaiming開墾；只有exploring有探察的意思。11.【答案】Caddto相當于increase，增加。其余選項后面都不接to。12.【答案】Alateron為固定短語，“后來”。13.【答案】Dattendant仆人；keeper可理解為“飼養員”，但是astudent-keeper容易被誤解為“收留學生的人”；aide有“助手”之義。作者一邊上學，一邊在動物園里打工，只能當助手。14.【答案】Dwhich在此引導定語從句，修飾前面列出的動物。15.【答案】D因為錢是在動物園打工掙的，選successfully更能體現其含義。16.【答案】Dfinancemyfirsttrip意為“支付我的旅行費用”；pay后應接介詞for；其他選項的意思相差甚遠。17.【答案】B此句為現在完成進行時態,選regularly比較貼切。18.【答案】D此句是由though引導的讓步狀語從句，應及主句意思相對立。選項中，sorrows和disappointments及主句的appealto相對立，但sorrows的分量太重。19.【答案】Cappealto為成語，意思是“吸引”。20.【答案】Bexcursion短途旅行；journey(從一地到另一地的)長距離，具體的旅途；travel旅行，旅游，海外旅行；trip旅行，遠足。第二篇Ifyouweretobeginanewjobtomorrow,youwouldbringwithyousomebasicstrengthsandweaknesses.Successor(1)inyourworkwoulddepend,to(2)greatextent,(3)yourabilitytouseyourstrengthsandweaknessestothebestadvantage.(4)theutmostimportanceisyourattitude.Aperson(5)beginsajobconvincedthatheisn'tgoingtolikeitoris(6)thatheisgoingtoailisexhibitingaweaknesswhichcanonlyhinderhissuccess.Ontheotherhand,apersonwhoissecure(7)hisbeliefthatheisprobablyascapable(8)doingtheworkasanyoneelseandwhoiswillingtomakeacheerfulattempt(9)itpossessesacertainstrengthofpurpose.Thechancesarethathewilldowell.(10)theprerequisiteskillsforaparticularjobisstrength.Lackingthoseskillsisobviouslyaweakness.Abook-keeperwhocan'taddoracarpenterwhocan'tcutastraightlinewithasaw(11)hopelesscases.Thisbookhasbeendesignedtohelpyoucapitalize(12)thestrengthandovercomethe(13)thatyoubringtothejoboflearning.Butinsgroupstomeasureyourdevelopment,youmustfirst(14)--stockofswheresyoustandnow.(15)--wegetfurtheralonginthebook,we’llbe(16)--insomedetailwithspecificprocessesfordevelopingandstrengthening(17)--skills.However,(18)--beginwith,youshouldpause(19)--examineyourpresentstrengthsandweaknessesinthreeareasthatarecriticaltoyoursuccessorfailureinschool:your(20)--,yourreadingandcommunicationskills,andyourstudyhabits.1.A.improvement

C.attitude D.weakness第二篇解析：1.【答案】C本句的意思是：“成功或失敗在很大程度上取決于你是否能揚長避短?！眎mprovement改進；victory勝利；achievement成果，成就。這三個詞都不合題意，只有C.failure“失敗”最合適。2.【答案】Atoagreatextent是固定短語，意思是“很大程度上”，符合題意。類似的說法還有：toalargeextent,tosomeextent,toanextent,toacertainextent,tothatextent,totheextentof…。the,some,certain都不能及greatextent搭配。3.【答案】Bon及前面的depend構成本句謂語。4.【答案】Bof及名詞連用,表示具有某種性質,狀態，做表語。置于句首，表示強調。正常語序為：Yourattitudeisoftheutmostimportance.5.【答案】AAperson后應當是定語從句,“開始工作的那個人”。6.【答案】C本句的意思是“如果一個剛剛開始工作的人就深信自己不會喜歡或肯定不適應這項工作，則阻礙他成功的缺點就暴露出來了。”or后面省略了主語he。ensure保證；certain肯定的(只能用于It做主語的句子里)；surely確實地；sure肯定的。7.【答案】Dinone’sbelief相信。其它選項都不能及belief搭配。8.【答案】Ccapableofdoing是固定搭配，意為“能夠干什么”。9.【答案】Dattempt用做名詞，后接介詞at，意為“試圖，努力”；如果后面接介詞on，表示攻擊的意思。其他兩項都不能及attempt搭配。10.【答案】C本句的意思是“具有某一工作的必要技能是一個優勢”此處應填句子的主語，故選動名詞having。11.【答案】D本句主語是Abook-keeperorcarpenter…。根據主謂一致原則，其謂語應當用單數is，而不是復數are。being,been都是分詞，應該排除。12.【答案】Don及前面的capitalize搭配，表示“利用”。做不定式help的補語。其它選項不能及capitalize搭配。13.【答案】B本句的意思是“克服缺點”,應選weakness(缺點，弱點)。idea觀點；strength優點；advantage優勢。14.【答案】B固定短語takestockof，意為“對……估價，對……作出判斷”。15.【答案】A本句的意思是：“隨著更深入的閱讀”，從語法角度，此處應填關聯詞。四個選項中，只有as能用做關聯詞。16.【答案】D選項A,B,C分別是deal(處理，論述，涉及)的原形，過去分詞及被動語態。根據語法和語義，此處應填將來進行時，意思是“隨著書中內容的進一步深入，我們將詳細論述發展和加強學習技能的具體過程。”17.【答案】C根據上下文，這里應當指“學習技能”。18.【答案】B固定短語tobeginwith，意為“首先，第一”，常用做插入語。19.【答案】A謂語動詞pause后，examine又是動詞原形，所以這里應當選to，可構成動詞不定式，做目的狀語。其余選項都是介詞，不合題意。20.【答案】C本句對全文進行總結概括，及文章的開頭相呼應，Oftheutmostimportanceisyourattitude故選attitude.第三篇WhowontheWorldCup1994footballgameWhathappenedattheUnitedNationsHowdidthecriticslikethenewplay(1)--aneventtakesplace,newspapersareonthestreets(2)--thedetails.Whereveranythinghappensintheworld,reportsareonthespotto(3)--thenews.Newspapershaveonebasic(4)--,togetthenewsasquicklyaspossiblefromitssource,fromthosewhomakeittothosewhowantto(5)--it.Radio,telegraph,television,and6inventionsbroughtcompetitionfornewspapers.Sodidthedevelopmentofmagazinesandothermeansofcommunication.(7)--,thiscompetitionmerelyspurredthenewspaperson.Theyquicklymadeuseofthenewerandfastermeansofcommunicationtoimprovethe(8)--andthustheefficiencyoftheirownoperations.Todaymorenewspapersare(9)--andreadthaneverbefore.Competitionalsolednewspaperstobranchoutsintosmanyotherfields.Besideskeepingreaders(10)--ofthelatestnews,today'snewspapers(11)--andinfluencereadersaboutpoliticsandotherimportantandseriousmatters.Newspapersinfluencereaders'economicchoices(12)--advertising.Mostnewspapersdependonadvertisingfortheirvery(13)--.Newspapersaresoldatapricethat(14)--evenasmallfractionofthecostofproduction.Themain(15)--ofincomeformostnewspapersiscommercialadvertising.The(16)--insellingadvertisingdependsonanewspaper'svaluetoadvertisers.This(17)--intermsofcirculation.HowmanypeoplereadthenewspaperCirculationdepends(18)--ontheworkofthecirculationdepartmentandontheservicesorentertainment(19)--inanewspaper'spages.Butforthemostpart,circulationdependsonanewspaper'svaluetoreadersasasourceofinformation(20)--thecommunity,city,country,state,nation,andworld—andevenouterspace.1.A.Justwhen

B.with C.at D.about第三篇解析：1.【答案】Ajust在此為副詞，意為“剛剛”，做狀語。此句意為“一個事件剛剛發生，街上就有報紙報道詳情了。說明報紙對新聞的反應之快。2.【答案】Atogive和giving都合乎語法，但giving強調的是正在發生的動作，而此處重點表達的是“反應快”，不是正在做什么。3.【答案】A消息，信息要靠收集。4.【答案】D后面的不定式短語表示目的。5.【答案】C提供信息的目的是為了讓他人知道，所以選C。6.【答案】Bother意為“其他的”。此句意為：無線電，電報，電視，及其它發明，成為報紙的競爭對手。7.【答案】A根據句中的merely及其后所述內容，應選however，表轉折。8.【答案】D使用更新，更快的通訊工具，目的是提高速度。9.【答案】C報紙是印出來的，先印后看(讀)。10.【答案】Dkeepsb.+過去分詞是一種復合結構，sb.及過去分詞為被動關系，意為保持這種關系的繼續。此句的意思是：報紙不斷地為讀者提供新聞信息。11.【答案】C關于politics之類的嚴肅話題,只能選educate。12.【答案】B此句意為：報紙通過廣告影響讀者在經濟生活中的選擇。13.【答案】B大多數報紙依靠廣告收入來維持生存，此現象人人皆知。14.【答案】C報紙的售價之低，不足以抵付成本的一小部分。符合上下文關于廣告收入的說法。15.【答案】A收入來源應該用source。因為source指河流，泉水的發源地；常指抽象事物的根源或來源以及資料，信息的出處或來源。origin起源，起因。指事物后來發生,發展變化的最初起點,或指人的出身和血統。16.【答案】Dsucceedin為固定短語。此句意為：廣告業務的成功，取決于報紙在客戶(要打廣告的人)心中的價值。17.【答案】C根據上下文，此處應該用一般現在時的被動語態，此句意為：報紙在客戶心中的價值，是靠發行量衡量的。18.【答案】C該句意為：發行量的大小，很大程度上取決于發行部門的工作及報紙所提供的服務功能和娛樂功能。19.【答案】Boffered作services和entertainment的定語。20.【答案】Dinformation后面接介詞about，表示“關于”。第四篇Formanypeopletoday,readingisnolongerrelaxation.Tokeepuptheirworktheymustreadletters,reports,tradepublications,interofficecommunications,nottomentionnewspapersandmagazines:anever-endingfloodofwords.In(1)--ajoboradvancinginone,theabilitytoreadandcomprehend(2)--canmeanthedifferencebetweensuccessandfailure.Yettheunfortunatefactisthatmostofusare(3)--readers.Mostofusdeveloppoorreading(4)--atanearlyage,andnevergetoverthem.Themaindeficiency(5)--intheactualstuffoflanguageitself-words.Takenindividually,wordshave(6)--meaninguntiltheyarestrungtogetherintophrased,sentencesandparagraphs.(7)--,however,theuntrainedreaderdoesnotreadgroupsofwords.Helaboriouslyreadsonewordatatime,oftenregressingto(8)–wordsorpassages.Regression,thetendencytolookbackover(9)--youhavejustread,isacommonbadhabitinreading.Anotherhabitwhich(10)--downthespeedofreadingisvocalization-soundingeachwordeitherorallyormentallyas(11)--reads.Toovercomethesebadhabits,somereadingclinicsuseadevicecalledan(12),whichmovesabar(orcurtain)downthepageatapredeterminedspeed.Thebarissetataslightlyfasterrate(13)--thereaderfindscomfortable,inorderto“stretch”him.Theacceleratorforcesthereadertoreadfast,(14)--word-by-wordreading,regressionandsubvocalization,practicallyimpossible.Atfirst(15)--issacrificedforspeed.Butwhenyoulearntoreadideasandconcepts,youwillnotonlyreadfaster,(16)--yourcomprehensionwillimprove.Manypeoplehavefound(17)--readingskilldrasticallyimprovedaftersometraining.(18)--CharlceAu,abusinessmanager,forinstance,hisreadingratewasareasonablygood172wordsaminute(19)--thetraining,nowitisanexcellent1,378wordsaminute.Heisdelightedthathowhecan(20)--alotmorereadingmaterialinashortperiodoftime.1.A.applying

D.getthrough第四篇解析：1.【答案】D本句意思是“誰如果想謀得一份差事”。applying需加for,意思是“申請”；B.doing做；C.offering提供此三項均不符題意，只有D.getting(獲得)適合。2.【答案】A本句意為“快速閱讀及理解的能力，是關系到成敗的關鍵所在”只有quickly及原意吻合。easily(容易地)；roughly(粗略地)；decidedly(果斷地)均及原文內容不符。3.【答案】C英語中，閱讀速度快的人稱為goodreader，反之，就是poorreader。根據上下文的內容，多數人都屬于poorreader，因此選poor(差的)。其它選項不妥。4.【答案】B此處的意思是“大多數人早期養成看書慢的習慣”因此選habits(習慣)。training(訓練，培訓)；situations(形勢)；custom(風俗習慣)。5.【答案】A此處說的是“主要的困難在于語言的自身要素，即單詞”。combines聯合；touches接觸；involves包括，這三項的詞義及原文不符。而lies及in構成搭配，意為“在于”。6.【答案】C這里的意思是“如果單個地看這些字，它們并沒有什么意義”。some有點；Alot許多；dull單調的。此三項不合題意。只有little(很少)是否定詞，合乎邏輯。7.【答案】D此句意為“作者對未受過閱讀訓練的人的不良習慣感到遺憾”。Fortunately幸運地；Infact事實上；Logically合乎邏輯地,均不妥。Unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句義。8.【答案】B此句意為“在閱讀時經常重讀(反復讀)”因此，選reread重讀。reuse再使用；Rewrite改寫；recite背誦。9.【答案】A此處所填的詞既是lookbackover的賓語，又是youhavejustread的賓語，只有what能充當這種雙重成分。10.【答案】Cscalesdown按比例減少；cutsdown削減；此兩項不合題意。measures不能及down搭配。只有slow及down搭配的意思“放慢”，在此合適。11.【答案】B本段前文已經出現you，在此選one(泛指人們，我們，你)來代替you。someone無此用法。如果用reader，前面應加定冠詞。he不能及該段邏輯一致。12.【答案】A此句意為“訓練快速閱讀所使用的工具必然及提高閱讀速度有關”，因此選accelerator(快讀器)。actor演員；amplifier放大器；observer觀察者。13.【答案】D前面的faster決定了應當選than，構成比較級。14.【答案】C此句意為“快速閱讀器迫使你加快閱讀速度，使你再也不能逐字閱讀，回顧前文內容或者默讀”。enabling相當于makingpossible；leading引導；indicating指出，表明。都不合題意。只有making(使，使得)最合適。15.【答案】B這里的意思是“速讀最初會影響理解”，所以選comprehension(理解力)。meaning意義，意思，指詞或詞組表示的意義；gist大意，要旨regression回顧16.【答案】A及前半句中的notonly相呼應，構成句式“不僅……，而且……”，只有選but，而nor；or或for均不能構成固定用法。17.【答案】C本句中的主語是第三人稱復數，物主代詞必然是their。18.【答案】Btake及后面的forinstance構成短語，意為：“以……例”，其它三項不能構成搭配。19.【答案】D這里提到受訓之前及受訓之后進行比較,對比，因此選before。20.【答案】D此處意為：在較短時間內，讀完眾多的材料。master掌握；goover復習；present呈現，展現；三項均不妥；只有getthrough(讀完)最恰當。第五篇Manystudentsfindtheexperienceofattendinguniversitylecturestobeaconfusingandfrustratingexperience.Thelecturerspeaksforoneortwohours,perhaps(1)--thetalkwithslides,writingupimportantinformationontheblackboard,(2)--readingmaterialandgivingout(3)--.Thenewstudentseestheotherstudentscontinuouslywritingonnotebooksand(4)--whattowrite.Veryoftenthestudentleavesthelecture(5)--noteswhichdonotcatchthemainpointsand(6)--becomehardevenforthe(7)--tounderstand.Mostinstitutionsprovidecourseswhich(8)--newstudentstodeveloptheskillstheyneedtobe(9)--listenersandnote-takers.(10)--theseareunavailable,therearemanyusefulstudy-skillsguideswhich(11)--learnerstopracticetheseskills(12)--.Inallcasesitisimportantto(13)--theproblem(14)--actuallystartingyourstudies.Itisimportantto(15)--thatmoststudentshavedifficultyinacquiringthelanguageskills(16)--incollegestudy.Onewayof(17)--thesedifficultiesistoattendthelanguageandstudy-skillsclasseswhichmostinstitutionsprovidethroughoutthe(18)--year.Anotherbasic(19)--istofindastudypartner(20)--itispossibletoidentifydifficulties,exchangeideasandprovidesupport.1.A.extending

D.suchas第五篇解析：1.【答案】B將第1，2，3題通盤考慮。此處意為“老師會花一兩個小時用幻燈來解釋講課的內容，寫出一些重要的信息,散發一些閱讀材料,布置作業”。illustrate用圖解說明，舉例說明。2.【答案】C參考第1題答案。attribute把……的原因歸為……；contribute有助于，貢獻；distribute分發，散發，及下文的giveout同義。3.【答案】Aassignments作業，任務。4.【答案】C新生發現別的學生一直在記筆記,他們不知道該記些什么,所以用wonders。而suspects(懷疑)；understands(理解，明白)；convinces(讓人相信)及題意不符。5.【答案】Bwith結構在此表示伴隨的結果，說明學生聽完講座卻記了一些抓不住重點的筆記。6.【答案】D這里是一個并列句，并列的兩個部分是whichdonotcatchthemainpointsandwhichbecomehardevenforthestudentstounderstand.7.【答案】D此句意為：學生記下的筆記連自己也無法明白。8.【答案】C鑒于上述情況，許多學校開設課程以幫助新生培養記筆記的能力，成為一名真正有效率的聽眾。assist幫助，援助。9.【答案】A參考第8題答案。effective有效的；passive被動的；relative相對的；expressive表現的，富于表情的。10.【答案】D此處的意思是：如果這些課程不可行的話，還會有許多行之有效的學習技巧的指導，這些指導使學生們能夠獨立地鍛煉這些學習技巧，在此If表示假設條件。11.【答案】Aenablesb.todosth使人能夠干什么；stimulate激發，刺激；advocate提倡，倡導；prevent阻止。12.【答案】Aindependently獨立地；repeatedly再三，重復地；logically合乎邏輯地；generally大體上，一般地。13.【答案】C此句意為“通常學生在開始學習之前就應該解決這種聽課技能的問題”，此處C.totackleproblem意為“解決問題”。evaluate估計，評估；acquaint使認識，了解；formulate用公式表示，系統地闡述或提出。14.【答案】A參考13題。15.【答案】B這里的意思是“承認大多數學生在獲取語言技能方面有困難，這是很重要的。因為只有承認這種困難才能提出克服困難的方法”。所以選B.acknowledge承認，認可。predict預測；argue爭論，論證；ignore忽略，忽視。16.【答案】B過去分詞做定語。17.【答案】D克服困難用overcomedifficulty。不用preventing阻止，阻礙；withstand經受住，抵抗；sustain支撐，經受。18.【答案】D本題涉及學年的表達方法。19.【答案】B此句意為：另一種基本的方案或策略是尋找一個學習的伙伴。strategy策略，方案。20.【答案】C本題測試介詞及關系代詞的用法，withwhom表示及同伴一起學習。第六篇Fromchildhoodtooldage,wealluselanguageasameansofbroadeningourknowledgeofourselvesandtheworldaboutus.Whenhumansfirst(1)--,theywerelikenewbornchildren,unabletousethis(2)--tool.Yetoncelanguagedeveloped,thepossibilitiesforhumankind’sfuture(3)--andculturalgrowthincreased.Manylinguistsbelievethatevolutionis(4)--forourabilitytoproduceanduselanguage.They(5)--thatourhighlyevolvedbrainprovidesus(6)--aninnatelanguageabilitynotfoundinlower(7)--.Proponentsofthisinnatenesstheorysaythatour(8)--forlanguageisinborn,butthatlanguageitselfdevelopsgradually,(9)--afunctionofthegrowthofthebrainduringchildhood.Thereforetherearecritical(10)--timesforlanguagedevelopment.Current(11)--ofinnatenesstheoryaremixed,however,evidencesupportingtheexistenceofsomeinnateabilitiesisundeniable.(12)--,moreandmoreschoolsarediscoveringthatforeignlanguagesarebesttaughtin(13)--grades.Youngchildrenoftencanlearnseverallanguagesbybeing(14)--tothem,whileadultshaveamuchhardertimelearninganotherlanguageoncethe(15)--oftheirfirstlanguagehavebecomefirmlyfixed.(16)--someaspectsoflanguageareundeniablyinnate,languagedoesnotdevelopautomaticallyinavacuum.Childrenwhohavebeen(17)--fromotherhumanbeingsdonotpossesslanguage.Thisdemonstratesthat(18)--withotherhumanbeingsisnecessaryforproperlanguagedevelopment.Somelinguistsbelievethatthisisevenmorebasictohumanlanguage(19)--thananyinnatecapacities.Thesetheoristsviewlanguageasimitative,learnedbehavior.(20)--,childrenlearnlanguagefromtheirparentsbyimitatingthem.Parentsgraduallyshapetheirchild'slanguageskillsbypositivelyreinforcingpreciseimitationsandnegativelyreinforcingimpreciseones.1.A.generated

D.Aboveall第六篇解析：1.【答案】B此處意為：當人類剛剛開始進化，他們如同新生兒一樣不會運用語言這種工具。evolved逐漸發展，進化符合題意。generated生殖，發展；born(bear的過去分詞)不能作謂語動詞；originated起源，不能用first修飾。2.【答案】A根據語法分析，答案應用來修飾語言的。valuable珍貴的；appropriate合適的，適當的；convenient方便的，便利的；favorite最喜歡的。語言并不是人類選擇的結果，而是人類在進化過程中慢慢發展起來的，對人類來說，應當是珍貴的。3.【答案】A此處意思是：語言的發展增加了人類未來的成就和文化進步的可能性。attainments成就；feasibility可行性；entertainments娛樂；evolution進化。4.【答案】D此處意為：許多語言學家認為進化使人們產生和具備了語言的能力。固定短語beresponsiblefor對……負責，是……的原由。其它選項不及for搭配。5.【答案】C根據語法分析,空格后應是一個賓語從句，而A，B，D三項后都不能接從句做直接賓語。confirm(確認)+名詞；inform(通知)sb.ofsth.；convince(使某人確信)sb.ofsth.6.【答案】D固定搭配providesb.withsth.意為“向(人)提供(物)”7.【答案】B此處意為：我們高度發達的大腦是我們具備了其它低等動物所不具備的語言能力。顯然，這里是把人和低等動物相比較。因此選organisms有機體，生物體。8.【答案】A此句意思是：人類的語言能力是及生俱來的，但語言本身也在逐漸發展，所以這種能力應該是潛在的。potential潛力；performance履行；preference偏愛；passion激情。9.【答案】A此句句義是：語言本身作為童年時期大腦生長的一種功能，其發展是緩慢的。as(作為，當作)合乎題意。Like作為介詞的意思是“像……一樣”。10.【答案】B此句意為：語言的發展有一個關鍵期，人體的成長是生物變化的過程。biological生物的；ideological思想上的；social社會的；psychological心理的。11.【答案】A此處意為：目前人們對“先天論”評論觀點不一，但是支持某些天生能力的證據卻是確鑿無疑的。reviews評論；reference參考；reaction反應；recommendation推薦。12.【答案】C從11題可看出，作者是傾向于先天論的，為了進一步證明先天論是有道理的，作者選擇了以學校為例加以說明，因此這里應填一個表示遞進關系的詞Indeed(甚至)。13.【答案】D此處意思是：越來越多的學校發現在什么年級學外語較容易，根據常識(低年級學外語較容易)以及后文的Youngchildrenoftencanlearnseverallanguagesbybeing14tothem,whileadults…可以選定答案。14.【答案】B此處意為：通過接觸多種語言，孩子們可以學會好幾種語言。beexposedto是固定搭配，接觸到。reveal(顯露)sth.tosb，不合題意，因本題中的them指languages。其余選項不及to搭配。engagein從事；beinvolvedin參及。15.【答案】C此句意思是：一旦母語的規則被深深印入腦海中，成年人就很難再學好另一種語言。rules規則，規律；regulations規定；formations構成，構造；constitutions憲法，章程。16.【答案】A分析上下文的邏輯關系，從句意思是：語言的某些方面肯定是先天的。主句意思是：語言不會在及人隔絕的狀況下自行發展。前后應為轉折關系。17.【答案】D此句意為：及人隔絕的兒童不能掌握好一門語言。isolated孤立的，及人隔絕的；distinguished區別的，杰出的；different不同的；protected受到保護的。18.【答案】D此句總結前幾句，意為：必須通過及他人交往，語言才能夠發展。interaction相互作用；exposition暴露；comparison比較；contrast對比。19.【答案】A根據分析，本句中的“this”和“evenmorebasic”分別指代上句的“interactionwithotherhumanbeings”和“necessary”，此處所填詞對應上文中的languagedevelopment。也就是說，languageacquisition語言習得。appreciation欣賞,感激；requirement要求；alternative轉移，轉變，轉換。20.【答案】C本句功能是以另一種方式解釋前文中的“imitative,learnedbehavior.(模仿性的后天行為)”。Inotherwords換言之，換句話說；Asaresult結果是；Afterall畢竟；Aboveall首先。第七篇ShoppinghabitsintheUnitedStateshavechangedgreatlyinthelastquarterofthe20thcentury.(1)--inthe1900smostAmericantownsandcitieshadaMainStreet.MainStreetwasalwaysintheheartofatown.Thisstreetwas(2)--onbothsideswithmany(3)--businesses.Here,shopperswalkedintostorestolookatallsortsofmerchandise:clothing,furniture,hardware,groceries.(4)--,someshopsoffered(5)--.Theseshopsincludeddrugstores,restaurants,shoe-repairstores,andbarberorhairdressingshops.(6)--inthe1950s,achangebeganto(7)--.ToomanyautomobileshadcrowdedintoMainStreet(8)--toofewparkingplaceswere(9)--shoppers.Becausethestreetswerecrowded,merchantsbegantolookwithinterestattheopenspaces(10)--thecitylimits.Openspaceiswhattheircar-drivingcustomersneeded.Andopenspaceiswhattheygot(11)--thefirstshoppingcentrewasbuilt.Shoppingcentres,orrathermalls,(12)--asacollectionofsmallnewstores(13)--crowdedcitycentres.(14)--byhundredsoffreeparkingspace,customersweredrawnawayfrom(15)--areastooutlyingmalls.Andthegrowing(16)--ofshoppingcentresled(17)--tothebuildingofbiggerandbetter-stockedstores.(18)--thelate1970s,manyshoppingmallshadalmostdevelopedintosmallcitiesthemselves.Inadditiontoprovidingthe(19)--ofone-stopshopping,mallsweretransformedintolandscapedparks,(20)--benches,fountains,andoutdoorentertainment.1.A.Asearlyas
