2017年成人学位英语考前冲刺试题及答案（6）_第2页

　　Passage 3

　　Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

　　The nuclear power emergency at a Japanese atomic power plant last March could lead to a major re-examination in European countries that are already building such plants or are considering a shift from fossil(化石) fuels to nuclear energy to fight climate change.

　　With the terrible accident 25 years ago in Chernobyl(切尔诺贝利) beginning to fade in European Memories, governments across Europe have grown more open to using more nuclear power. Enthusiasm for nuclear power is particularly strong in Eastern Europe, which wants to move away from dependence on Russian oil and natural gas, and on heavily polluting coal-fired power plants. Eastern governments have begun improving existing nuclear plants or are building or planning new ones. But as Japan struggled to deal with her nuclear crises, discussion about the good and the bad of nuclear power became heated。

　　(80)In Germany, nuclear power has been a repeatedly argued and widely felt issue for decades。 Up to 70 percent of Germans oppose nuclear power. Recently about 40,000 people turned out to form a human chain near a nuclear plant to protest government policies on nuclear power. “The accident in Japan could lead to a major rethink in Europe,” said Henrik Paulitz of the International Doctors for the Prevention of Nuclear War. “Governments have not been quite open about the safety levels of the nuclear power plants。” Chancellor(总理) Angela Merkel heads a center-right unity government that supports the use of nuclear power. Her government recently made a disputed decision to extend the life of the country’s 17 nuclear power plants by an average of 12 years. She will now face more pressure the change that policy. She called an emergency meeting with her senior ministers. “We know how safe our plants are and that we do not face a threat from such a serious earthquake or violent tidal wave,” Mrs. Merkel said after the meeting. “We will learn what we can from the events in Japan。”

　　11. According to the passage, which of the following about Europe is TRUE?

　　A. It is dependent on Russia for gas and oil。

　　B. It has put an end to fossil fuels。

　　C. It had a major nuclear accident this year。

　　D. It is likely that they would rethink their nuclear power policies。

　　选项中的It 指代“Europe”。

　　A选项：欧洲的天然气和石油都依赖于俄罗斯。利用常识解题法快快排除，选项太绝对，活该被判处死刑(原文中只提及到Eastern Europe东欧国家。第一段第七行。);

　　B选项“欧洲国家已经不用化石燃料了”，化石燃料即天然气和石油。利用常识解题法快快排除;

　　C选项：今年有一严重的核事故。(不好排除，搁置在这里，看看D选项是否能够给我们信息，再行定夺);

　　D选项：可能会重新考虑他们的核政策。(同样不好排除)

　　带着选项内容，一目一行猎寻信息：第一段最后一句话：…discussion about the good and the bad of nuclear power became heated。关于核动力的好处和坏处的讨论变得热烈了。此题目出题人是费了功夫的，因为没有出现选项内容有关的直接的信息。既然如此，也就说明人们对核动力的“使用”产生了怀疑。答案是D。

　　12. According to the passage, all the following statements about Eastern Europe are true EXCEPT _______ 。

　　A. they are eager to build new nuclear power plants

　　B. they have totally forgotten the Chernobyl accident 25 years ago

　　C. they have improved their nuclear power plants

　　D. they want energy independence

　　密切注意选项中的they 的指代关系，指代的是Eastern Europe。

　　不过如果您的眼睛足够“毒”的话，您一定发现了B选项中的“totally 完全地”，偷着乐去吧，此处的“totally”表达的意思太绝对了。故而答案就是B。

　　13. In the second paragraph, the author mainly discusses_______。

　　A. the nuclear accidents in Japan last March

　　B. nuclear power policies in Germany

　　C. German attitude towards nuclear power

　　D. the safety levels of nuclear power plants in Germany

　　一网支招：一目一行浏览段落的第一句或最后一句话，这些地方就是文章大意出没的地方。

　　这两句话出现的高频词是“German 德国”，利用切题解题法，排除A选项;文章第一句说“德国人一直在讨论nuclear”，讨论什么?故而答案是C“德国人对nuclear的态度”。

　　14. The word “heads” in the third paragraph can be best replaced by ______ 。

　　A. leads B. tops C. minds D. arms

　　总理_______支持nuclear的右翼联合政府。“总理领导政府”答案是A。

　　同时，head “头——引申为：带领”。

　　15. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?

　　A. Japan’s Nuclear Crisis Causes Fear in Europe。

　　B. The Chernobyl Disaster Helps Europe Better Understand Nuclear Power Energy。

　　C. German Governments Supports Nuclear Power Energy。

　　D. Germany Has Learnt a Lesson From Japan。

　　11小题说，欧洲会重新考虑核政策(为什么?日本的核泄漏，nuclear的何去何从，全世界恐慌哪!!);13小题的信息：德国人对nuclear的态度。通过这两个小题的信息，利用切题解题法，我们知道，文章应该是讲述日本核泄漏后，人们对nuclear的态度。答案是A。

　　Part II

　　Vocabulary and Structure (30%)

　　Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet。

　　16. By no means ____to her parents

　　A. this is the first time has she lied

　　B. this is the first time does she tell a lie

　　C. this is the first time she had lied

　　D. this is the first time she was lying

　　一目一行浏览选项，我们发现A与B选项是正常语序;C与D选项是倒装语序。故而我们首先得确定是否倒装。

　　根据倒装的原则“按照中文的正常语序，不能放在句首的词语而放在了句首，那么这个句子就得倒装”。By no mean”绝不”，是不能放在句首的，故而句子得倒装，排除A与B选项;

　　C与D选项的区别：时态。C选项的语言环境是“现在”;D选项语言环境是“过去”;句子意思是她绝不是第一次撒谎。即她撒谎是现在一直的事情。语言环境是现在。答案是C。

　　17. You have failed toe\w tests. You’d better start working harder, ____you won’t pass the course。

　　A. and B. but C. or D. so

　　弄明白主句和从句的逻辑关系，答案就近在咫尺了。答案是C“or 否则”。

　　18. His children are well-behaved, _____those of his sister’s are very naughty。

　　A. and B. so C. thus D. while

　　与17小题的解题思路一样。题干关键词：well-behaved (行为好)，naughty(调皮的)，故而这两个词语表达对比关系。答案是D“while 表前后强烈的对比，强烈的反差”。

　　19. How can you keep fit ____you smoke so much every day?

　　A. but B. however C. if D. otherwise

　　解题思路与18小题一样。答案是C“if 如果”。

　　20. The news has spread all over the country ____ the spaceship succeeded in returning to the earth。

　　A. what B. that C. if D. otherwise

　　此题目考察从句的连接词，我们急需判定是什么性质的从句(定语从句、名词性从句)。我们翻译一下句子：太空飞船成功返回地球的消息传遍了全国。就明白了从句实际上是接在the news后面，所以我们不得不考虑它是一定语从句还是一同位语从句。“太空飞船成功返回地球”就是the news的内容，the news的内容就是“太空飞船成功返回地球”。故而它们两者的关系就是“北京首都，首都北京”，所以我们判定它是一同位语从句。

　　同位语从句的句子意思已经完整，且不带疑问成分，连接词是that。答案是B。

　　Whether要求名词性从句句意完整，带疑问成分。

　　21. I didn’t know your mobile phone number; otherwise I ____ you the moment I got to Washington。

　　A. have rung B. wound ring C. have rung D. wound have rung

　　按照选项特点，把选项分类：A与C为一类(语言环境为现在);B与D选项为一类(语言环境为过去)。

　　题干关键词did not，告诉我们语言环境是过去，排除A与C选项;

　　Otherwise 否则，我就给你打电话了。反过来，你是没有打电话的。即“你就会打电话”是一地地道道的假设(已经完全没有实现的可能性了)，故而这里需要用虚拟语气，这里是对过去虚拟，所以答案是D。

　　22. As they are retired, Mr. and Mrs. Scott prefer a hours in the country to ____ their remaining years there。

　　A. spend B. spending C. spent D. spends

　　此题目如果您粗略地分析的话，您就会陷入出题人给您的陷阱。我们一定记得这个短语：prefer A to B要A不要B 。这个结构中A与B是对等的结构，即A是名词，那么B也应该是名词;A是动名词，那么B也应该是动名词。所以很多考生就毫不犹豫地填入了B选项。

　　他们prefer(想要)一房子，to_______度晚年。故而这里是不能适用“prefer A to B”这个结构的。这里是不定式表达目的。答案是A。

　　23. ____ by this grandparents, jimmy wasn’t used to living with his parents。

　　A. Too bring up B. To be brought up C. Brought up D. Being brought up 考察非谓语。

　　根据选项特点，把选项分类：A选项为一类(主动语态);其余三个选项为一类(被动语态)。

　　找非主语(前面没有，找后面，反过来后面没有找前面。)： Jimmy。非主语Jimmy是不能发出bring up 这个动作的，故而此处需要被动语态，排除A选项。

　　Bring up 这个动作发生在“was not used to live with”之前，根据非谓语图表，答案是C。(何为非谓语图表，请参阅前面语法部分，在此省略，请谅解)

　　24、Please remain ____until the plane has come to a complete stop。

　　A. to seat B. to be seated C. seating D. seated

　　remain是一系动词“保持”;“保持坐着的状态”，排除A与B选项，因为remain与“坐”应该是同时发生。

　　但seat是一个特殊的动词，它要求被动表达主动。答案是D。

　　25. While watching television,____。

　　A. the doorbell rang B. the door bell rings

　　C. we heard the doorbell ring D. we heard the doorbell rings

　　此题目如果您没有技巧的话，您肯定是一头雾水而抓阄了，因为每个选项似乎都行。关键是找准“非主语”，即非谓语动作的主语。

　　此题目反其道而行之，给出了非谓语“watching”，而要我们去选项中寻找非主语，排除A与B两个选项，因为它们不能发出watching的动作;

　　剩下的就是ring与rings的区别，自然而然就提醒您想到hear的特殊用法： hear是一个感官动词，它后面需要接动词原形。故而答案是C。

　　26. ____,the pay isn’t attractive enough, though the job itself is quite interesting。

　　A. Generally speaking B. On the country

　　C. In particular D. To be honest

　　词语辨析。没有多少技术含量可言，您只要认识选项词语，然后使句子通顺即可。

　　A选项：一般而言;B选项：反过来; C选项：尤其;D选项：老实说。

　　答案是D。薪水不吸引人，尽管工作有趣。

　　27. The robber had escaped and was nowhere to be found when the police ____

　　A. arrived B. had arrived C. belongs D. have arrived

　　考察时态。

　　按照选项特点，把选项分类：A与B选项为一类(语言环境为过去);C与D选项为一类(语言环境是现在)。根据句意和关键词“had escaped 和was”，我们判定句子的语言环境是过去，排除C与D选项。

　　B选项用了过去完成时，而过去完成时的动作需要发生在一个过去动作之前，即过去的过去。而本题目是抢劫者先“escaped”，警察后“arrived”，换句话说，也就是arrived 没有发生在escaped 之前，故而不能用过去完成时。答案是A。

　　28. Professor Wilson keeps telling his students that the future ______ to the well-educated。

　　A. is belonged B. is belonging C. belongs D. will be belonged

　　亲爱的学员朋友，如果您清楚belong“属于”的用法，那么答案就近在咫尺了。看着选项就能够弄出答案来。

　　Belong是一个不及物动词，不能用被动语态，排除A与D选项;同时它也不能用动词的ing形式(我们中文里也同样不能说“正在属于”，即belong这个词语不能持续)，排除B选项。

　　答案是D。

　　29. This company is closing up, so lots of workers will be laid ______。

　　A. down B. out C. off D. aside

　　词语辨析。

　　实话实说，此类题目是没有多少技术含量可言，看你的词汇量了。根据句子意思，空格处需要填入“下岗”之类意思的词语。

　　Lay 的本来意义是“放、搁置”，所以它的短语都应该与它的本来意义有关的。

　　Lay down 放下;lay out 放出、摆出;lay off ，off是“离开”，下岗;lay aside 放…..一边，储蓄;

　　答案是C。

　　30. Just take it easy and us exactly what has happened。

　　A. say B. speak C. tell D. talk

　　精明的阁下，一看选项您应该就明白出题人的意图了吧，这四个词语的区别。say 后面接说话的内容，是一个及物动词;speak 只有在说某种语言时，才是及物动词，其余场合皆为不及物动词;talk 不及物动词;tell，“告诉”及物动词，tell sb sth。答案是C。tell us what has happened

　　Sb sth
