1.选B)。从文章的第一句they love and respect few thins more than a uniform“他们又无比热爱和崇尚制服”,说明了制服在美国很受欢迎。因此选项B)popular符合原文意思。选项中的professional“职业的”、practical“实用的”和ordinary“普通的,平常的”都不符合第一段的意思。, P7 o% w( u2 n" z3 s
2.选F)。此处应填形容词。从more...than civilian clothes可知,此处要填的形容词意思与civilian相对,说明制服的特点。选项中的形容词中只有professional“职业的”和civilian相对的,故F)正确。而pratical“实用的”和ordinary“平常的”意思都不能和civilian对应,故排除。. b! S! m( `# s2 T) e" ^) x% X
3.选K)。由be conditioned to do sth.“习惯于”可知,此处应填动词原形。从前面的look more“看起来更...”和后面的tend to“倾向于”可知,这段要说明的是人们的主观印象,应填入表示“期望(得到)”的单词,只有K)expect符合原文语气。选项中get“得到”与上下文的语气不符合。% V/ L) d6 z; R' g
4.选I)。此处应填动词原形。从原文中“人们习惯...从穿制服的人那儿得到优质服务。”可知,人们更信任穿制服的人,即制服能使人产生信任感。选项中的动词原形中只有inspire“使产生”符合文章。$ H) K/ F: V1 y6 K F
5.选A)。此处应填名词。前面两句表达了人们对穿制服的人更加信任的意思,那么对于garage mechanic“汽车修理工”来说,人们信任的是它的技术,而不是人品,故选项中只有A)skill符合原文意思。) a4 }' `' w4 Z4 w# N7 X5 d
6.选N)。此处应填动词。...step out of uniform“脱掉制服”是对护士、警察等来说是......职业身份的很简单的方式。脱下制服就是失去了职业身份,由此可以推知此处应填N)lose。7 j; R$ f' o8 k
7.选L)。此处应填形容词,说明制服的其他有点。从下文“...节省购买其他衣服的开销,节省洗衣费用,比便服更舒适也更耐穿”可知,制服除了增加信任感还有实际的优点。选项中的pratical“实用的”和ordinary“平常的”,很明显L)pratical符合原文意思。3 F% m1 T* m# z: q7 B
8.选H)。此处应填名词。文章手段就说“美国人为自己的多元化和个性化感到高傲无比,然而他们又无比热爱和崇尚制服”,其中包含制服使他们失去自己的个性的意思,那么联系第一段,此处指出的制服的缺点即为失去个性,故选项H)individuality正确。individuality强调与他人特点的区别,而character指的是个人特定的内在本质。
$ K5 X3 c0 Z2 f) `9 k 9.选D)。此处应填名词。前面说制服让人失去了个性,虽然有很多种制服,但穿上制服的人直至退休都是那件制服,所有是没有变化的,故此处应填change,故D)正确。! m; A( i: j# ?3 `0 v# s: @* F
10.选E)。此处应填副词,修饰动词act。前面指出...look alike,they tend to...,说明此处填的词和alike意思相近。选项种副词有similarly和differently,很明显,E)similarly与alike意思相近,故选E)。 rld leaders 66 D) How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards六 完形填空部分67 D ) to 68 C ) specific 69 A ) key 70 B ) different 71 B ) prevent 72 A ) in 73 C ) focus 74 A ) over 75 C ) rather 76 B ) consumed 77 A ) vital 78 C ) amazed 79 B ) contain 80 B ) interact 81 C ) on 82 D ) up 83 B ) fill 84 C ) avoid 85 D ) doubt 86 C ) impact六 翻译部分87. nor did they make any explanation/ nor did they explain why 88. could be assigned to another task 89. at the risk of his own life/ risking his own life 90. it turned out that his assistant answered the phone/ it was his assistant who answered the call. 91. his father talked/ persuaded him intofocus 74 A ) over 75 C ) rather 76 B ) consumed 77 A ) vital 78 C ) amazed 79 B ) contain 80 B |
