1、[Cl]

標準答案：J

知識點解析：此處需填入與nerves并列的名詞。該句提到，緊張和……并不是特

別重要的因素。后一句進一步說明，少許焦慮（疲憊暫且不提）可能有好處。nerves

憊''符合語境。

2、[C2]

標準答案：F

代表性，通常會隨機測試，不特意設定順序，random”任意的，隨機的“符合語義。

5、[C5]

標準答案：M

知識點解析：t。提示此處需填入動詞原形。破折號中的定語從句表明受試學生以前

考過SAT,再結合句末“成績超過高中分數”（beattheirhigh-schoolscore）,推知研究

人員給學生設定更大的壓力。boos儼增加”符合語義。

6、[C6]

標準答案：D

知識點解析?：不定冠詞a表明此處需填入可數名詞單數形式，為。ffered的直接賓

語，間接賓語是分數更高的學生。空格前的cash（現金）提示bonus”獎金”符合邏

輯。

7、[C7]

標準答案：。

句意為：這些問卷調查……考生精力和緊張程度的焦慮狀況圖，provided“提供”符

合語義邏輯。

9、[C9]

標準答案：N

知識點解析：此處需填入修飾rose的副詞。本句說志愿者的疲勞感和壓力隨著考

試時間延長而上升,nosurprise表明上升的狀態是正常的,故steadily”穩定地，穩

固地”符合邏輯。

10、[C10]

標準答案：L

知識點解析：空格為主語從句的一部分，應填入形容詞或分詞。通過研究才知道考

試時間越長，學生的分數越高，之前人們并不一定知道，故選unexpected“想不

到“，呼應上文的nosurpriseo

11、Theincreasingoverheatoftherealestatemarketmaycontributetothedestruction

oftheBackusHouse.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：根據increasingoverheat與realestatemarket定位到C段第3句。該句

提到由于豪宅不斷涌現和房地產市場過熱，格羅斯曼優雅的現代設計可能維持不了

多久。題目內容源自此句，題目中的destruction與原文的maynotsurvivemuch

longer對應。

12、Modernresidentialdesignwasatitspeakfrom1940sto1960s.

標準答案：D」

知識點解析：根據1940sto1960s定位到D段第2句。該句提到現代派家居設計達

到頂峰的標志是案例住宅計劃(CaseStudyHouseProgram),出現于1945-1966年。

題目中的atitspeak與原文的culminated對應。

13、Grossman,aSwedishfemaledesigner,washiredtobuildtheBackusHouseinthe

1940s.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：根據washired和inthe1940s定位到A段。該段第1句說到Backus

夫婦雇用設計師格羅斯曼建房子。本題是原文該句的同義轉述。

14、Someonesaidaneconomicdeclinewasbeneficialforthepreservationofmodernist

houses.

標準答案：F

知識點解析：根據aneconomicdecline和preservation定位至ijF段第2句。該段后

半部分內容提到了ReginaOBricn的觀點。他認為經濟下滑有利于保存現代派建

筑，因為開發商掙到的錢少了很多，追求高利潤的動機也變小了。題目中的

decline與原文的downturn對應，wasbeneficial對應原文agoodthingo

15、ItisbelievedthatCaliforniaistheplacewheremodernsingle-familydwellingswere

perfected.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：根據modernsingle-familydwellings和wereperfected定位至UD段最后

一句。該句提到現代單元式住宅在歐洲發明，但很多人認為它的進一步完善發生在

美國加利福尼亞南部，題目是這句話的同義轉述。

16、TheKingdlcyResidencewasinitsoriginalstatewhenitwasforsale.

標準答案：L

知識點解析:根據TheKingsleyResidence和forsale定位到L段首句。題目中的in

itsoriginalstate對應原文的unaltered,其他信息與原文一致。

17、TheBackusHouseissurroundedbyluxurioushouses,amongwhich,theproperty

behinditisthemostextravagantone.

標準答案：I-

知識點解析：由themostextravagant定位至U1段。題目中的issurroundedby

luxurioushouses概括了原文對巴克斯宅周圍房屋的描寫(Downthe

block....pricetag)；本題句子后半部分的信息與原文末句一致。本題句子概

括了該段內容。

18、Unexpectedbyobservers,aboutthreemonthsaftertheSchairerHousewassold,it's

stillstanding.

標準答案：M

知識點解析：根據observers和SchairerHouse定位至M段。該段提到，觀察家們

確信謝勒宅注定會被拆除，但它在出售80天后仍然屹立于原地。題目內容與該段

對應。

19、TheinterioroftheKingsleyResidenceisquitemarvelouseventhoughtheexterior

maylooklikeafarm.

標準答案：K

知識點解析：由theKingsleyResidence,exterior和inlerior定位至K段。該段第2

句提到金斯利故居的外觀看起來像奶牛場(cattlefarm),第3句說它的內部令人驚

嘆。題目中的interior與原文的inside對應，marvelous對應原文的marvelo

20、Evenagentsareconcernedabouttheproblemthatthosewhocanaffordthe

modernisthousesarethosethatwanttoreplacethem.

標準答案：O

知識點解析：根據agents,affordthemodernisthouses和replace定位到O段。該段

最后引用上市代理人JoyceRey的話，總結目前現代派建筑面臨的困境：那些想修

復現代派建筑的買家暫時負擔不起，而買得起的人卻想對其進行改造。題目中的

areconcernedabout對應該段第3句中的beworried；本題句子中的thosewho

can...replacethem與段末的直接引語內容一致c

三、仔細閱讀（本題共10題，每題1.0分，共10分。）

A、atheorythatcandescribenaturalphenomena

amagicalkeytounderstandingthemselves

C>anancientbeliefthathadlongbeenappliedtomonarchs

D、amysteriouspowerbeyondtheexplanationofscience

標準答案：A

知識點解析：首段末句表明人們受占星術的誤導是因為占星術看起來像一門科學，

而根據第2段開頭兩句可以知道，科學應該包括描述自然現象的假說或理論，山此

可見，A中的theory與原文提到的science意義最為相近，為本題答案。

22、WhiletheGreeksdevelopedastrology,theybelievedthat.

A、theearthwasmadeupoffourelementsandtheheavens

B、theheavensweremadeupofamaterialofpurecrystal

C、theideasoftheBabylonianswerenotimaginative

D^theirideaswouldsoonspreadthroughoutEurope

標準答案：B」

知識點解析：第2段第7句的and引出的應該是一個具有主謂結構的句子，對比分

析可看出theheavens和of之間省略了werecompos已d,由此可確定B為對該分句

的正確理解。干擾項A是對該省略句的錯誤理解。

23Itisimpliedthatastrologyisbasedonthebeliefthat.

A^thegods'intentionsarehardtopredict

B>thefateofourlivesareunpredictable

C^thegodsarecloselyrelatedtotheplanets

D^thegodshavethesameattributesaswedo

標準答案：C

知識點解析：第2段主要描述占星術的由來，總結這些句子可以看出，占星術之所

以發展起來，主要是因為人們相信眾神與星辰有關，預測了星辰的活動就能知道眾

神的旨意，由此可見，C是與這個意思最相近的概括。

24、WhichofthefollowingistrueaboutthescholarsbeforethelimeofNewton?

A、Allofthemwereconvincedbyastrology.

B、Theydidn'tknowthelawsofNatureapplytoallp.anets.

C、Theyplayedimportantrolesinthedevelopmentofastrology.

D、Mostofthemfoundastrologyincredible.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：末段倒數第2句是一個強調句，表明牛頓時代之前，人們都不知道自

然規律適用于celestialworlds（即天體），該句中的“人們”當然也包括題干中的

scholars,故B為正確答案。

25、Whatistheauthor'spurposeinwritingthepassage?

A、Tocastdoubtontheoriginofastrology.

B、Tocompareastrologywithrealsciences.

C、Topointoutthepopularityofastrology.

D、Tojustifytheincredibilityofastrology.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：首段首句和第2段首句都表明作者認為占星術并非science,末段首

句更明確表明占星術incredible,由此可見，本文的寫作目的是為了解釋為什么占

星術不可信。

26、AccordingtoAlfredMcLaicu,thedecayuftheTilaniuwasmostprubably

acceleratedby.

A、MotherNature

B、humannature

C、thrillseekers

D、adventuretourists

標準答案：A

知識點解析：第2段末句中的rustandsealife就是造成泰坦尼克號損壞加速的總

因，這些都屬于自然的因素，故選A。其他選項均是人為原因，與A相對。

27>McLarenexpectedthatintwentyyears

A、thewreckwouldbecompletelydestroyedbyunapprovedtreasurehunters

B、onlysalvageoperationwiththepurposeofresearchwouldbeapproved

C、onlyaminorpartofthewreckwouldremainasitis

D、thewreckwouldbedeterioratingatafasterspeed

標準答案：C

知識點解析:第4段末句中的Iwouldbereallysurprisedif…表明McLaren預測20

年后會發生的事與該句中if引出的假設相反，因此C為本題答案。

28、Whatisthetourists?purposeotvisitingthewreck,accordingtoKamuda?

A、TohelpfinancethepreservationoftheTitanic.

B、Tosatisfytheircuriosityandadventurousness.

C、TobetterunderstandthehistoryoftheTitanic.

D、TocontributetothecrumblingoftheTitanic.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：第6段第2句中的eg。trip表明參觀泰坦尼克號殘骸的游客的目的是

自私的，而t。say-wasthere'則明確說明這些游客來這里只是為了表明自己曾到此

一游，滿足自己的好奇心和探險精神，B是與原文內容最相近的猜測。

29、CraigMcLeanisoneofthescientistswhobelieve.

A、theinfluenceofthethrillseekersonthewreckwillfinallybedetermined

B、thedeteriorationoftheTitanicisnotnecessarilyattributedtotheadventuretourists

C^thegovernmentshouldcontributemoretothemonitoringoftheTitanic

D、visitorsshouldnotbeprohibitedtheTitanicandotherfamouswrecks

標準答案：B

知識點解析：第8段提出了某些科學家的觀點，第9段提到的CraigMcLean就是

其中一位，這些科學家都認為沒有足夠的證據證明游客造成了泰坦尼克號的損壞，

因此B就是他們的想法。其他選項均在文中無據可依。

30、TheauthorismostlikelytoagreethatthefutureoftheTitanicis.

A、vague

B、controllable

C、promising

D、discouraging

標準答案：D

知識點解析：木文末段對泰坦尼克號的將來作了預測。從littlethatcanbedone,

lostagain等詞可以看出作者對它的未來并不樂觀，因此D為本題答案。
