1、Whichofthefollowingisthemostsuitabletitleof（hispassage?

A、NewEntertainmentRobotsProducedinJapan.

B、QRIO—theRobotDancers.

C^Robots一Man'sBestFriends.

D、AnExtraordinaryPerformanceinSony'sLab.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：主旨大意題。標(biāo)題需要既全面又突出地概括文章的主題。本文先是描

述“舞蹈演員”，然后揭曉這是些“機器人''（第2段第1句），接著對Sony公司的一些

機器人產(chǎn)品進(jìn)行詳細(xì)介紹。選項A比較全面地概括了文章內(nèi)容。選項B、D只是

涉及細(xì)節(jié)，不能全面地概括本文的內(nèi)容。而C又過于籠統(tǒng)，不具有針對性。

2^YoshihiroKuroki.

A、isexcitedwhentherobotsareperformingatraditionalJapanesedance

B、keepssilentbecauseheisalittleunsatisfiedwiththenewproduct

C、witnessesthecreationofaseriesofentertainmentrobots

D、isanexecutivemanagerofSonyCorp.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：事實細(xì)節(jié)題。選項C符合笫2段最后一句"Heisthemastermind

behindaseriesof..robots...仔細(xì)閱讀有關(guān)的細(xì)節(jié)信息會發(fā)現(xiàn)，第1段第3句可

幫助否定選項A。第1段最后兩句可幫助否定選項B。另外。根據(jù)第2段倒數(shù)第2

句可否定選項Do

3、WhichaspectoftherobotsisNOTmentionedinthepassage?

A^Thevividnessoftheirmotion.

B、Theirpleasantappearance.

C、Theirsmartdesigningprinciples.

D、Theircommunicativeability.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：事實細(xì)節(jié)題。全文分四段，分別討論機器人三方面的特點：第1段和

第2段描述機器人舞蹈演員栩栩如生的表演，即選項A：第3段描寫它們的外表，

即選項B；第4段介紹它們巧妙的設(shè)計，即選項C；只有選項D是沒有提到的，故

為答案。

4、TheSonyDreamRobotwas.

A^thefirsthuman-likeentertainmentrobotdevelopedbytheSonyCorp.

B、ascapableastheQR1Oofspeaking,dancing,singingandwalking

C、largestamongalltheentertainmentrobotsdevelopedbytheSonyCorp.

D、thefirstentertainmentrobotsoldatthemarketbytheSonyCorp.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案:A

知識點解析：推理判斷題。該句中的分詞結(jié)構(gòu)“startingwith…”表明theSonyDream

Robot是第一個人形娛樂機器人，因此選項A正確。文章在最后一段的第1句提到

兩種能說話、跳舞的機器人，但沒有提到SDR是否和它們一樣，由此可否定選項

Bo在第3段討論機器人大小的時候也沒有提到SDR體型最大，因此選項C不正

確。選項D在文中沒有討論到。

5、Therobotscanlocatecoloredballsbymeansof.

A、acharge-coupleddevice

B、twocameras

C^twocontactsensors

D、adigitaldetector

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：事實細(xì)節(jié)題。該句中“two…camerasto…”的結(jié)構(gòu)表明這兩個攝像頭可

以用于定位，所以選項B正確。選項A在該句中也有提到，但它只是攝像機的工

作機制，而不是用于定位的裝置。選項C在下一句提到，但與題干提到的定位功

能無關(guān)。選項D在文中并未提及。

6、Thefirstsentenceofthepassagemostprobablyimpliesthat.

A、manyAmericansareobsessedwiththerisingtemperatureintheirbathroom

morepeopleareoverweighedintheUnitedStates

C、peoplearedoingmorephysicalexerciseswiththehelpofscales

D、youngstersbecometallerandhealthierthankstomoreactivities

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第1段第2句可推斷第1句中的thenumber是指體

重增加的人數(shù)，故答案為B。

7、Asphysicalexercisedeclinesanddietexpands,.

A、otherwesterncountrieshasbeendefeatedbyfat

B、obesityhasbecomeanepidemic（流行病）oftherichworld

C^waistbandsbegintobepopularinotherwesterncountries

D、westerncountriescannolongerfightagainstobesity

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：推理判斷題。本題需要正確理解借代修飾手法。Waistbandshavebeen

popping形象刻畫出其他西方社會急劇肥胖化的過程，故答案為B。本題很明顯是

考查因果關(guān)系的，第1段倒數(shù)第2句明確指出這個因果關(guān)系，只要根據(jù)該句做出選

擇就可以了。如果看得過遠(yuǎn)，反而有可能誤選A或D。

8、WhichisNOTthepointoftheexampleofthePacificIslands?

A、Thepoorcommunityhasshakenoffpovertyandpeoplearewell-fednow.

Obesityisbecomingaprobleminthedevelopingworldtoo.

C、Excessiveweightincreasewillcausenolessharmthanthefoodshortage.

D、Theproblemofoverweightemergesveryfast.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A--

知識點解析：事實細(xì)節(jié)題。此處的例子是證明前一句話的，即But后面的內(nèi)容。同

時，兩個年份的比較也突出問題發(fā)展的迅猛，從而印證下一段的主題句“This

increaseinweighthasbeenunevenaswellasfast.”說明了貧窮與肥胖是并存的。例

子一般是用來證明緊挨著的前面或后面的論述，此處證明的觀點在之前，其中的重

點應(yīng)該是Bui后面的內(nèi)容，所以選項A與文中意思不符。注意本題要選的是NOT

thepointoftheexampleo

9、Oftacklingobesityinthepoorworld,wecanlearnfromthepassagethat.

A、thematterissocomplexastogobeyondourcapacity

B、nomatterwhatwedo,theprospectwillalwaysbebleak

C、itisstarvation,therealthreat,thatneedstobesolved

D、weshouldtakeimmediateactionsbeforeitbecomesincurable

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：觀點態(tài)度題。文章最后一句扭轉(zhuǎn)了整段的基調(diào)。作者呼吁解決這一問

題，前文正是為此作鋪墊，突出問題的復(fù)雜性和時間的緊迫性。

10>Whatisthemainideaofthispassage?

A、Obesityisnowaglobalproblemthatneedstackling.

B、Theweightsincreasefastthroughoutthewholeworld.

C>Obesityandstarvationaretwomainproblemsinthepoorworld.

D、Obesityhasshiftedfromtherichworldtothepoorworld.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：主旨大意題。本文話題為。besity,作者從美國談到所有西方國家，

最后重點討論其在發(fā)展中國家的最新發(fā)展趨勢以及種種可能的成因，并強調(diào)應(yīng)當(dāng)盡

早解決問題，故選項A正確。肥胖問題的陣營沒有轉(zhuǎn)移，只是擴大了，故選項D

不對。選項B只是片面信息，沒有包括最后一段關(guān)于如何解決肥胖問題的內(nèi)容。

選項C中的starvation并非本文討論的主要話題。

A>youmustbeamedicalstudent,oramedicalworker

B、youarehauntedbyapossiblyinexistentdisease

C、youwillnevergetridofthisdisease

D、youalwaystellfunnystoriesatdinnerparlies

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：事實細(xì)節(jié)題。仔細(xì)讀完第2段后半部分，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)hypochondria只是

瞎猜疑，故選項B正確。時常懷疑自己生病是醫(yī)務(wù)人員的職業(yè)病，但為此困擾的

并不僅僅是他們,因為第2段第3句說：“But...whosufferfrom

truchyDochondria…”，說明醫(yī)務(wù)人員不是真正的疑病癥患者，故選項A不正確。選

項C過于極端。選項D是對原文斷章取義。

12、Whichofthefollowingbestsummarizesthemainideaofthepassage?

A^Hypochondriahappenstoeverybodysoonerorlater.

BNWeneedn'tworryabouthypochondriasinceitisnotdangerousatall.

C、Hypochondriaoriginatesfromtoomuchknowledgeofmedicine.

D、Notonlyindividualsbutalsothehealthcaresystemmightbedisturbedby

unnecessaryterrors.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：主旨大意題。第1段以舉例方式引人主題，第2段對hypochondria下

定義，第3段則論述其對醫(yī)療保健體系造成的干擾，選項D正確全面地概括了文

章大意，為正確答案。全文的中心詞是hypochondria,在四個選項中，干擾項｛選

項A、B、C）都出現(xiàn)了該詞，只有正確選項（選項D）沒有直接使用該詞。

13、Whycan'tdoctorsconvincethesufferersthatthereisnothingwrong?

A、Becausethedoctorscan'tcuretheminordiseases.

B、Becausethedoctorsdon'tassurethemofthat.

C、Becausethesufferersaredeafandcannothearwhatthedoctorssay.

D^Becauselackofabsoluteguaranteemakesthepatientsdoubtful.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：事實細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文中的“becausenophysicianortestcanoffbra100%

guaranteethatonedoesn'thavecancer…”即可得出選項D正確。原文雖有表示“咳嗽

確實存在“，但這并不意味著醫(yī)生不能治好類似的小毛病，因此選項A不正確。誤

選C是沒有正確理解短語fallondeafears,該固定表達(dá)的意思是“充耳不聞

14、Theproblembecomesworsedueto.

A、theincreasingnumberofpatients

B、thewidespreadmedicalknowledgeontheInternet

C、thepatients'regularvisitstodoctorsthatoccupytcomuchtime

D、newdiseasesandsymptomsemergeconstantly

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：推理判斷題。句中thanksto是諷刺的用法，引出原因，故選項B正

確。本題考查因果關(guān)系，要辨別明顯的因果關(guān)系，只要關(guān)注文中是否有because,

reason,dueto,thanksto,result等詞即可。

15,Whatdoestheauthormostprobablythinkabouthypochondria?

A、Theauthorconsidersthathypochondriaisanincurabledisease.

B、Theauthorthinksthattheconsequencesofhypochondriamightbedisastrous.

C>Theauthorsuggeststhatthepatientswhohavehypochondriashouldsettheirhearts

atrest.

D、Theauthorsympathizeswiththepatientswhosufferfromhypochondria.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：c

知識點解析：觀點態(tài)度題。從作者對hypochondria的描述可以看出此病只是源于多

疑，并非生理上的不治之癥，因此只要病人們放寬心，此病就能痊愈。故選項C

正確。選項A的incurable和B的disastrous都太絕對，比較容易排除。而本文基調(diào)

較為客觀，作者沒有表露個人情感，故選項D也不正確。

A、wecanthinklogicallyinthedreamstoo

B、dreamscanbebroughtunderconsciouscontrol

C、dreamsrepresentourunconsciousdesiresandfears

D、dreamscanhelpuskeepourmoodcomparativelystable

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：詞義理解題。在第1段第4句中，逗號后面的regulalingmoods是對

emotionalthermostat的功能進(jìn)行解釋說明，因此可以推斷出選項DjE確。

17、WhatdidCartwrightfindinherclinic?

A、Mostbaddreamswerefollowedbyhappierones.

B、Divorcedcouplesusuallyhavemorebaddreams.

C>One'sdreamingprocessisrelatedtohisemotion.

D、Peoplehavingnegativefeelingsdreammoreoften.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C-

知識點解析：事實細(xì)節(jié)題。最具干擾的是選項A,因為其陳述與第2段第2句的陳

述有點相似，但是，此長句說的是大多數(shù)人上半夜做噩夢。之后都會做好夢，而不

是像選項A中所說大多數(shù)噩夢之后是好夢。而且，根據(jù)本段第1句，很明顯，選

項C是這一句的近義替換。

18、Cartwrightbelievedwithmuchpractice,wecanlearnto.

controlwhatdreamstodream

B、sleepwellwithoutanydrcams

C、wakeupintimetostopthebaddreams

D、identifywhatisupsettingaboutthedreams

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：c-

知識點解析：推理判斷題。本題考查對代詞的理解。在第3段的最后一句中，代詞

it應(yīng)指上文說到的控制噩夢，及時醒來等做法，因此只有選項C涉及了其中一個做

法。選項A太泛了，選項B和D在文中并無提及。

19、Theauthorpointsoutthatapersonwhohasconstantbaddreamsshould.

A^learntocontrolhisdreams

consultadoctor

C、sleepanddreamonit

D、getridofanxietyfirst

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：事實細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法猜測詞義的能力。解題關(guān)鍵是推斷

最后一段第3句中ihempist的意義，在考綱詞匯表中，therapy是“治療”的意思，因

此，thcr叩ist應(yīng)該是專門負(fù)責(zé)某種治療的醫(yī)生，由此可見，選項B是對原文seek

helpfromatherapist的近義替換。

20、Theauthormostprobablythinksthatcontrollingdreamsis.

A、agoodpractice

B、anewdiscovery

C^helpfulforeveryone

D、notessentialforeveryone

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一句可以推斷作者認(rèn)為如無必要，夢還是不要

控制的好。做夢會LL你早，感覺舒服一些，因此本題應(yīng)選D。

C^therealpolicemenseldomcangethomeintimetowatchTV

D、thepolicemenshownonTVcanalwaysgethomeintime

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答纂c

知識點露析：推理判斷題。本題考查對第1句的理解。if引出的條件狀語從句前的

破折號表明這個假設(shè)是相對于之前的看電視來說的，而不是相對于整句話的。該句

特意用if作補充說明。暗示了一些附加的信息、：真實生活中的警察通常很晚回

家，連看電視都趕不上。由此可見，C是正確的理解。A說法過于絕對.與原文的

hardly不符。

2、Itisessentialforapolicemantobetrainedincriminallaw.

A、sothathecancatchcriminalsinthestreets

B、becausemanyofthecriminalshehastocatcharedangerous

C、sothathecanjustifyhisarrestsincourt

D、becausehehastoknownearlyasmuchaboutlawasaprofessionallawyer

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：推理判斷題。本題考查內(nèi)在的因果關(guān)系。從第2段第3句可以推斷出

答案，A亳無原文依據(jù)，原文中也并沒有暗示B和D這兩種因果關(guān)系。

3、Theeverydaylifeofapolicemanordetectiveis.

A、excitingandglamorous

fullofdanger

C、devotedmostlytoroutinematters

D^wastedonunimportantmatters

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：推理判斷題。本題考查對長句的理解。根據(jù)第3段第2句可以推斷出

答案。本題最具干擾性的是B,按照常識，警察的工作通常都被認(rèn)為很危險，但是

第3段第1句由Little引出的倒裝句表明了他們很少與亡命之徒交鋒，并非充滿危

險，因此B不對；而D將在文中用來修飾people的unimporlant拿來修飾“事情”，

顯然偷換概念，曲解原文。

4、Whenmurdersandterroristattacksoccur,thepolice.

A、prefertowaitforthecriminaltogivehimselfaway

B、makegreateffortstotrytotrackdowntheirman

C、trytomakeaquickarrestinordertokeepuptheirreputation

D、usuallyfailtoproduceresults

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：推理判斷題。本題考查對復(fù)合句的理解。答題關(guān)鍵在于正確理解第4

段最后一句，except引出的句子暗示警方只有在遇到特別嚴(yán)重的犯罪時追捕罪犯才

會花費很大的氣力，B符合文意。本題最具干擾性的是C,由本句第2個破折號后

的內(nèi)容可知此處主要強調(diào)“費不費勁”的問題.而C中的makeaquickarrest并未突

顯出原文的關(guān)鍵含義，不如B準(zhǔn)確。

5、Whafsthebesttitlefbrthepassage?

A、PolicemenandDetectives

B>Policemen'sLife—FunandFantasy

C、TheRealLifeofaPoliceman

D、DramaandReality

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：主旨大意題。本文的重點是說警察們的現(xiàn)實生活，全文將這種現(xiàn)實生

活與電視里面展現(xiàn)的作比較，是為澄清事實，故C可概括全文主題。

6、FromtheGhanaiandriver'sresponse,wccaninferthat.

A、hewasindifferentioihekilling

B、hewasafraidoftheauthor

C、helookeddownupontheauthor

D、hethoughttheauthorwascrazy

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：推理判斷題。從第2段最后一句的onlyresponse可以看出這個司機只

問了一個與殺人這件事無關(guān)的問題，由此可見.司機對此事毫不關(guān)心，態(tài)度冷淡。

7、WhydidthePakistanidriverrefusetotaketheauthortothemiddleoftheGeorge

WashingtonBridge?

A、Becausehewasabletohelptheauthortofindanewjob.

B、Becausehewantedtogohomeandrelax.

C、Becauseitwasfarawayfromhishome.

D、Becausehethoughtthattheauthorwouldcommitsuicide.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D-

知識點解析：推理判斷題。本題的關(guān)鍵在于了解在美國，高聳的大橋通常是人們自

殺的場所。根據(jù)這個背景知識，以及第3段中司機說的relax和Don'tworry可推斷

出司機以為作者要到華盛頓橋去自殺。

8、Whatistheauthor'sinterpretationofthedriver'sreluctance"towaitoutsidethe

ChemicalBank"?

A、Thedriverthoughtthattheratefbrwaitingtimewastoolow.

B、Thedriverthoughtitwrongtosupportataxiriderunconditionally.

C、Thedriverwasfrightenedandwantedtoleavehimassoonaspossible.

D、Thedriverdidnotwanttohelpasuspecttoescapefromabankrobbery.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：事實細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查對復(fù)雜句的理解。答案可以在文章的最后一句

話中找到，破折號后面bul引出的轉(zhuǎn)折句才是作者對司機不愿等人的理解。A是一

般出租車司機的想法，由may可知作者并不確定那個司機是否有此考慮，A不

對；C和D都無原文依據(jù)。

9、WhichofthefollowingstatementsistrueaboutNewYorktaxidrivers?

A、Theyarereadytohelpyoudowhateveryouwantto.

B、Theyrefusetopickupthosewhowouldkillthemselves.

C>Theyaresympatheticwiththosewhoareoutofwork.

D、Theyworkonlyformoney.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：推理判斷題。答案可從第3段第1句話中找到，C是該句的同義替

換。A中的dowhateveryouwantto過于絕對：B不符合邏輯，因為司機不可能先

問乘客是否要自殺才決定要不要載這個乘客；巴基斯坦司機的例子表明司機不都是

只為了錢。因此D不正確。

10、Thepassagemainlydiscusses.

A、howtopleasetaxiriders

B、howtodealwithtaxiriders

C>theattitudesoftaxidriverstowardsridersinpersonaltrouble

D、theattitudesoftaxidriverstowardstroublesometaxiriders

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：c

知識點露析：主旨大意題。文章開篇第1句話就是整篇文章的主題句，接下來的各

段內(nèi)容都是圍繞此主題展開的，C與之意思相符。故選C。本題最具干擾性的是

D,事實上，該選項中的troublesome意為“煩人的”，而不是“陷入麻煩的“，因此不

能用該詞形容文中的乘客，故排除D。

A、willremainthesame

B>willslowdown

C、willspeedup

D、cannotbepredicted

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：事實細(xì)節(jié)題。只要知道第1段第2句中的關(guān)鍵詞accelerate意為卬eed

up“加速，加快”，就可以排除其他選項。

知識點解析：事實細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查對比處。作者在第1段
