10、最初于 2003 年 2 月在河内查出,随后有 15 个国家的 1600 多人受到感染,其中 63人死亡。目前就这一疾病,疑问多于答案。感染非典的初始症状包括:超过华氏 100.4 度的高烧,打寒颤,头痛和身体疼痛。患者在一周之内会出现干咳症状,并且可能导致呼吸短促。10%20%的患者需要有强制通风设备才能呼吸。约有 3.5%的病人会2死于这种疾病。通常经过 27 天的潜伏期后开始出现症状,但也有报告表明,其潜伏期可长达 10 天。科学家已经快要研制出诊断非典的实验室测试方法。就当前而言,该疾病的诊断主要通过相关症状来判断。还未有证据显示抗生素和抗病毒药物能治愈非典,因此医生主要采用支持性治疗
11、方法。非典病人要被隔离以降低传染他人的风险。尽管科学家并不确定,但有些研究者认为非典病毒是一种新发现的冠状病毒,与导致普通感冒的病毒属于同一家族。大多数病例似乎都是通过非典病人咳嗽和打喷嚏时排除的唾液传染的。患者的家庭成员和照料病人的医护人员感染此疾病的几率最大。但最近香港发生的病例表明,非典也可通过空气传播,非典病毒还可能在门把手或其他物体表面存活 23 个小时。然而卫生专家也称,与非典患者短期共用电梯这种情况尚不至于感染上非典。31.A 解析: “检测出病情”应是 detect the disease,此处指“非典第一次被检测出” ,应该是 was detected,故选 A。 (词汇搭配
12、题。B 项 caught 可指感染疾病,多用主动态;C 项 disclose“揭露”和D 项 reveal“透露”一般不与疾病搭配。 )32.B 解析:本句意思是“非典自 2003 年被检测出来后共有 1600 多人感染” 。前后两个分局语义并列且稍有递进,故选 B。 (句意关系题。 A 项 but 和 D 项 yet 都表转折,而 C 项 or 表选择,据不符合句意。 )33.B 解析:上一句说, “自那以来已经有 1600 多人感染该疾病,其中 63 人死亡” ;本句话则说, “对这种疾病,疑问多过答案” ,两句话之间最佳的语义关联词应该是表示时间的“目前,在现阶段” 。at this p
13、oint符合句意。 (短语含义题。aspect 表示“方面” ,如 consider sth. in all its aspects。instance 不与 at 搭配,in this instance 表示“在这个情况下” ,所以不选 D。at this time 表示“在此时” ,句中也讲得通。只是文中突出“现阶段”的含义,用 point 更好。 )34.D 解析:本句描述非典的初始症状。start with 表示“以.开始” ,后街表“某种状态”的短语,符合此处语境,故 D 正确。 (短语搭配题。 start from 表示“从. 开始” ,后接“起始点” ,暗含“到某个终点(to) ”
14、之意,此处不合适。选项 B 和 C 一般不与 start 搭配使用。 )35.C 解析:根据句意,非典的症状包括“全身疼痛” ,因此,应选表示“持续疼痛”的 C 项 aches。 (词汇辨析题。sore,hurt 和 ache 都可以用作名词,表示疼痛,但有所区别: sore 表示(一碰就疼的)痛处或疮口,精神上的痛处,伤心事;ache 表示“(持续性的)疼痛 ”;hurt 指“伤痛” 。此处的“全身疼痛”不涉及伤口、疮口,只能用 ache。 )36.C 解析:本句表示 “干咳可发展为气息短促 ”,指“病情的加重” 。progress 一般用作 vi.,有“前进”的意思,引申义是“向更高阶段前
15、进” ,中性词,符合上下文,可以表示“病情加重” ,故选 C。 (词汇辨析题。显然,句中动词用作 vi.。容易排除 process(vt.加工,处理 vi.列队行进)和 convert(vt. / vi.转变,转化) 。advance 作 vi.时表示“前进” ,又引申为“晋级;改善,取得进步” ,含有褒义,在本句中不合适。 )37.C 解析:前文说非典病人会感到呼吸短促;本句则说,其中百分之十几的人会需要人工辅助呼吸;下一句更是提到,约 3.5%的患者会死亡。这三句话是按病情的严重性排列的。此处提到的 10%20%的人应该属于重症患者,对他们可能要上呼吸机辅助呼吸。表示此含义的是 mecha
16、nical ventilation 故答案是C。 (词语搭配兼词义辨析题。 automatic“自动的” ,多表示不必外力干涉的机器运转,如全自动洗衣机。controlled“受控制的” ,与本题所表达的意思相距甚远。故排除 A、D。artificial 表示“人工的,人为的”,与 ventilation 连用,在医学上的含义是:在正常呼吸有困难或者停止时,借助人工或机械手段来维持呼吸的过程。mechanical“机械的” ,与 ventilation 连用,在医学上,它是指把机械呼吸器插入病人气管以辅助呼吸,多用于危重病人的抢救。根据上下文对病情的描绘,此处应该是指重病患者需要的维系较长时间
17、的“机械辅助呼吸” ,用 C 更准确。 (当然 B 也不算错。 ) )38.D 解析:根据后半句中的 but 可知,前半句谈论的是“一般情况” ,即该病一般情况下 27 天就出现症状,故选 D。 (语义关系题。根据语义, A 项“有规律地” 、B 项“普通情况下”和 C 项“传统情况下”都不合适。 )39.B 解析:根据转折词 but 可知,某些情况下症状的出现 “可能”需要十来天。表示“可能性”应该用might,故选 B。 (词汇辨析题。A 项 will“计划、将要” ,C 项 should“应当” ,D 项 must“必须” ,语气3都过于肯定,与“表明”后的语义不符。 )40.C 解析:
18、本句意为“科学家快要研制出在实验室诊断非典的检测方法” 。表示“研制、开发”用 develop,故选 C。 (语义关系题。此处需要与 a lab test 搭配的动词 cultivate 指“培育、培养”某种技能或人际关系,foster 也表示 “培养、促进 ”某种技能、关系、感情、看法,它们显然不与 test 搭配,故可排除A、B 。design 可与 test 搭配,含义是“设计测试方案” ,但与文中要表达的意思“研制出测试方法”不符,故排除 D。 )41.B 解析:There is no evidence 后接的是同位语从句,必须用 that 引导,且不可省略,故选 B。 (语法结构题。
19、虽然在定语从句中 which 和 that 在一些情况下可以互换,但此处 evidence(如同 news, idea 等)后面的从句是同位语从句,固不可使用 which。同样,选项 C、D 也均不合适。 )42.A 解析:本句的前半部分“没有证据显示抗生素或抗病毒药物能治疗非典”和后半部分“医生采用支持性治疗”是因果关系,故选 A。 (句意关系题。B 、D 两项表转折,C 项意为“仍然”且不是连词,因此均应排除。 )43.D 解析:句意是 “降低传染的风险 ”,表示疾病的传染用 transmission,故选 D。 (词义辨析题。A 项communication 表示“交流、沟通” ,B 项
20、 transportation 表示“运输” ,C 项 transformation 意为“转变,变形” ,都不符合句意。 )44.C 解析:四个选项中只有 newly 与 discovered 搭配才表示“最近发现” ,因此选 C。 (词汇辨析题。lately表示“最近、不久前” ,但无“新近”的意义;newborn 指“新生的” ,其后常接生命体,如 a newborn baby; renewed 指“更新的、恢复的” ,显然也不是非典病毒的性质。 )45.B 解析:表示疾病通过什么传播,要用 pass through,因此选 B。 (词汇搭配题。A 项和 C 项都表示“在.下面” ,与动
21、词 pass 搭配不当;D 项表示“从. ”,其后接表示起点状态的短语,不表示通过什么媒介传播的意思,故此三项均与排除。 )46.A 解析:表示“照料病人”用短语 care for,故选 A。 (词汇搭配题。就句意和搭配组合而言,care after和 care over 均属不当搭配项,故可排除 B、C 两项。D 项 care about 表示“关心” ,与句意不符。 )47.D 解析:根据句意,表示“感染疾病” ,应为 contract the illness,故 D 为正确选项。 (固定搭配题。A、B 、C 三项意义分别为 “获得” 、 “收到”和“得到” ,意义上似乎都可,但它们均不表
22、示“感染(疾病) ”,故可排除。 )48.C 解析:根据句意“此疾病通过空气传播” ,且此处所指 “非典”是具体的疾病,所以 C 项正确。disease即指前一句中的 illness。 (词汇辨析题。A 项表示“身体微恙” ,不适合用于指非典;B 项意为“身体不佳” ,不指具体疾病。D 项指 “感染”或“传染病” ,可选;但语义上与其后的 spread 有所重复,故 C项更佳。 )49.B 解析:表示“病毒的持续或逗留 ”要用 linger,故选 B。 (词汇辨析题。根据句意,此处指病毒死亡之前会存活一段时间,强调其顽固性和持续性。而 A 项“继续” ,C 项“延缓” ,均不能准确表达句意。选
23、项D“坚持”指不畏困难继续做某事,故不选。 )50.C 解析:有句意可知,病毒残留在物体的表面,故 C 项正确。 (词汇辨析题。D 项指“遮盖物” ,可首先排除;A、B 两项虽都有“外部”之义,但并不强调物体的 “外表面” ,故也应排除。 )51. What a nice day ! How about the three of us a walk in the park nearby ?

37、table B. admirable C. decent D. approachable51.C 译文:天气真好!我们三个到附近的公园散散步怎么样?解析:考查固定搭配。How about 引导征求意见的疑问句时,后面一般接名词或动名词,只有 C 符合要求。句中 the three of us 作动名词的逻辑主语。52.B 译文:如果没有虚拟语气,英语学起来就会更容易了。解析:考查虚拟语气。本题表示与现在事实相反的假设。表示与现在事实相反,条件从句用一般过去时,主句使用 should(would) + 动词原形。A 项 could have been 是对过去事实的假设,与从句所表示的现在事实不
38、吻合;C 项 will 不可以用于虚拟语气中;D 是与过去事实相反的假设的虚拟语气从句形式。此三项均与题意不符。53.D 译文:我第一次在一次会议中见到她时,她一定有 50 岁左右了。解析:考查情态动词用法。根据本题题意,本题考查对以往年龄或过去事实的推测,要用“must+have+过去分词”形式,故 D 正确。54.A 译文:不论老板说什么,让我超时工作却不给报酬是不合理的。解析:考查让步状语从句连接词的使用。A 项 Whatever 指“无论什么,不管什么” ;B 项Whenever“不管何时,无论何时” ;C 项 Whichever 指“无论那一个(人或事) ”;D 项 However“
39、无论如何,不管怎样” 。句中引导词须作及物动词 say 的宾语(排除 B、D) ,而且没有给出从中选择的对象(排除 C) ,故只能用 A。55.B 译文:一台新的笔记本电脑的价格大概是二手笔记本电脑价格的 3 倍。解析:考查形容词比较级的用法。比较级句型:A is three(four, etc.) times the size (height, length, width , etc.) of B 表示倍数,意为“A 的大小(高度、长度、宽度等)是 B 的三倍(或四倍等) ”。B 正确。56.A 译文:我对她所告诉我的一切非常感兴趣。解析:考查定语从句中关系代词的用法。all 作为先行词,指
40、代 she told me 的内容。all 作先行词时只可以与关系代词 that 搭配使用,all that 等于 what。句中介词 in 后面不能接 that 引导的宾语从句,故 D 错。57.C 译文:让我们感到奇怪的是,他居然跟谁也没有说就走了。解析:考查“动词+it+补语+that 从句”结构。It 是形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面 that 所引导的从句。正确答案为 C。58.B 译文:明天将是个大晴天。是的,可不是嘛。解析:考查“so+简略句 ”结构的用法。该结构中,so 指代前文提到的内容,简略句部分有“主语+助动词”和“助动词+主语”两种情形。该助动词要与前一句对应;本题中,前一
41、句的谓语动词是 is,故此处的助动词只能用 is,可以先排除 C 和 D。 “so+助动词+主语”结构表示“.也是这样” ,如:I was tired, and so were they.该结构中的主语与前一句的主语指代不同的对象。显然,本句不是这个意思,故不选 A。 “so+主语+助动词”表示“可不是嘛,是真的嘛 ”,表示说话人认同对方的看法。该结构中的主语指的就是前一句话中的主语。选项 B 正确。59.D 译文:虽然深陷险境,但她一点也不在意自身的安全。解析:考查倒装句的用法。以否定副词(如 never,little, hardly,seldom 等)开头的句子,必须把助动6词或情态动词放
42、在主语之前,形成部分倒装。在此句中,主语为第三人称单数过去时,助动词为 do,所以最终提前的助动词必须为 did,因此可以排除 A、B、C。60.D 译文:这对夫妇刚到车站,列车就开走了。解析:考查时间状语从句的用法。表示“一(刚).就.”的固定结构有 no sooner.than,hardly.when.以及 as soon as.。根据句中的 no sooner,选 D。61.A 译文:你一定累坏了。我本该想到你今天已经做得够多的了。解析:考查“情态动词+完成体”的用法。 “might/could+ have done”表示“可能已经做了” ,在本句中不合适,因为说“我可能已经想到.”在语
43、义上很别扭。must have done 表示“一定做/发生了” ,如:It must have rained last night.在本句中也不合适。should have done 表示“本来应该做某事却没有做” ,符合句意。62.C 译文:“好像她出席了会议。 ”这句话与下列那个选项含义相当?解析:考查句子的意思。题干中的“it seems that.”用的是一般现在时,表示在说话的这个时候“看来似乎/好像是” ;that 从句中用的是一般过去时,表示“她出席会议”是过去的事件。整句话表示现在做出的对过去某事的判断。四个选项中,B、D 时态不对;A 没有表示“过去”的语法手段,也不对。只
44、有 C 语义与题干中的句子完全一致,选项中的不定式用了完成体,表示过去时间。63.B 译文:下面哪一个词不能填入“ everybody came”(几乎所有人都来了)这个句子,以构成完整的句子?解析:考查副词的用法。副词 Nearly,Practically,Almost 都有“几乎,差不多”的意思,都可以修饰everyone,everybody。Quite 是程度副词,表示“相当,很,确实 ”,不用于修饰 everybody;可以修饰a few,a bit , another 这样的不定代词,一起表示“很多”或“完全不同的另一个” 。故本题选 B。64.C 译文:在“How much do
45、you think he earns?”一句中, how much 在句子中充当什么成分?解析:考查句子成分间的关系。在这个句子中,do you think 为插入语,在 How much he earns 中 he是主语,earns 是谓语动词,引导词 how much 做 earns 的宾语。因此选 C。65.D 译文:“准备那些文件的人是该公司的律师。 ”在下列选项中,哪个选项与本句意思不同?解析:本题考查现在分词作定语的用法。现在分词作定语一般表示“主动和进行” 。四个选项都是主动语态;B(现在完成进行时)和 C(现在进行时)是进行体,无疑正是现在分词定语的含义。A 是现在完成时,有“
46、过去的动作但对现在有影响”之义,也会死现在分词定语的含义。只有 D 是一般将来时,与现在分词的含义不一致。如果要把 D 改为非谓语动词的定语,应该用不定式。故答案是 D。66.A 译文:在电视采访中,这个歌手宣布不久就要发行自己的新唱片。解析:形近动词词义辨析题。A 项 release“发行,发布 ”;B 项 renew“重新开始” ;C 项 relieve 有“减轻、免除”之义,如:relieve the pain;D 项 rehearse“彩排、预演” 。根据以上词义,正确答案应是 A。67.C 译文:为公司工作十年后,他终于得到了副董事长的职衔。解析:动词词义辨析题。首先可以排除 app
47、roach“走近,接近” ,与句意不符。achieve 指通过努力而“实现,取得,达到”某个任务、目标、速度、名望、资格等,如 achieve a target/membership。attain 是正式用词,指经过长期努力后“实现,达到”某个水平, “获得,赢得”某种地位或身份,如 attain stardom/ independence。acquire 指通过努力而“掌握、获得”知识、技能,或因突出能力而“赢得”名声。可见,最合适的选项是 C。68.C 译文:这个海滨小镇的大多数旅馆在冬天进入淡季,因为几乎没有游客前来度假。解析:形容词词义辨析题。四个选项都可以表示“生意萧条”slow 表示顾客少、销售不佳而生意“清淡”,如 a slow day。quiet 则侧重指因客户少而生意 “清淡” ,如 the quiet season after Christmas。slack表示与通常情况相比生意“萧条、清淡” ,如 a slack business season/ slack demand。low 与 season连用,表示 the least busy part of the time,即“
