1、10 届钻石卡英语专业学员基础英语第三次全真模拟测试答案Vocabulary (10 points)Section A1-5 ADDDDSection B6-10 DAAACReading Comprehension (40 points)Section A (30 points)Passage One短文大意：本文介绍的是大西洋月刊在改版之后的设计方面的新特点。11.答案：C参考译文下列哪一项不属于新设计中的内容？试题分析本题为细节题。详细解答短文第三段首句说“The primary typefaces Garlan chose for this task are Times Roman，f
2、or a more readable body type，and Bauer Bodoni，for a more stylish and flexible display type （article titles，large initials，and so on）.“ 由此可知，新的设计包括对字体与杂志结构的调整，新选用的主要字体是 Times Roman 和 Bauer Bodoni；第三句接着说“The articles in the front of the magazine，which once flowed into one another，now stand on their ow
3、n，to gain prominence.“ 这句话表明杂志前部分的文章也做了相应调整：文章之间不再相互交叉，而是各自独立。故选项 C“创建旅游专栏”为正确答案。12.答案：A 参考译文根据该短文，有哪些人参与了新的设计？试题分析本题为细节题。详细解答短文第四段最后一句说“Garlan was in various ways assisted in the redesign by the entire art-department staff“ 由此可知，Garlan 作为艺术总监，在重新设计大西洋月刊的过程中得到了整个艺术部工作人员的大力协助，而并非是她一个人，更不是只有封面设计者 （cov
4、er artist）参与了这一新的设计。因此正确答案为 A （art director 和 other artists 一起参与了设计工作） 。13.答案：D参考译文本文的写作目的是什么？试题分析本题为主旨题。详细解答文章第一段首先指出杂志设计的重要性，接着说明了大西洋月刊一直希望能有一种文学性与新闻性并存的设计；最后作者指出 Tudy Garlan 对大西洋月刊的重新设计很好地体现了文学性与新闻性并存的特征。文章在接下来的几段详细介绍了Garlan 对大西洋月刊杂志重新设计的内容及特色。由此可知本文写作目的主要在于向读者介绍 Garlan 的新设计及其特色，因此选项 D 为正确答案。Pass
5、age Two短文大意：本文是对名人传记词典一书的批评。14.答案：C参考译文为什么作者认为购买最近出版的一册名人传记没有什么意义？试题分析本题为细节题。详细解答 短文第一段第五句说 “And have you got the rest of volumes? You need the basic 22 plus the largely decennial supplements to bring the total to 31.“ 由此可知，这一整套书共有 31 册，只买一册就没什么意义了，故答案选 C.15.答案：D参考译文在谁应被收录进词典这一问题上，作者持怎样的观点？试题分析本题为推理
6、题。详细解答在短文的第二、第三段，作者很明确地表明了在人物选择上的不同看法，并举例说明在选择谁应被收录进词典时没有遵照一定的原则，是不合理的。如第三段第一句说“There remains the dinner party game of whos in，whos out.“这表明作者认为编者在选择对象时就象是邀请参加宴会的一场游戏，证明了编者不谨慎的态度，故选项 D 为正确答案。16.答案：C参考译文Crippen 没被收录进词典的原因是什么？试题分析本题为推理题。详细解答文章只是在第三段谈到了 Crippen 未被收录进名人词典，该段的最后一句说“But then Crippen was r
7、eputed as the first murderer to be caught by telegraphy “通篇没有说明 Crippen 未被收录进词典的原因。因此选项 C（原因不明）为正确答案。17.答案：B参考译文作者为什么在文章最后一段引用词典中一些人物条目？试题分析本题为推理题。详细解答在短文的最后一段作者先以收录的名人 Hugo 为例，没有记录其生死年月（dates of birth and death are not recorded） ；接着说对于画家 Levina Teerlinc 的描述也不能让人觉得她是位值得纪念的艺术家（Doesnt seem to qualify
8、her as a memorable artist） 。从以上内容可知，作者引用一些条目目的是为了强调说明自己的观点：DNB 的编纂方法与内容存在问题。因此，选项 B 为正确答案。 18.答案：C参考译文在整篇文章里，作者对 DNB 是何语气？试题分析本题为推理题。详细解答作者在文章一开始便指出买最近一册的 DNB 毫无意义，并分析了相关原因。接着作者在第三、四段讽刺说 DNB 在选择收录哪些名人的问题上就象做请人赴宴的游戏一样，毫无原则，极不合理。最后一段作者引用了几个名人条目强调说明了 DNB的编纂方法与内容存在的问题。作者在对词典的不足之处进行评述时有理有据，并无“刻薄”之心。故选项“讽
9、刺的” 为正确答案。Passage Three短文大意：这篇短文论述的是人们想通过药物来延长生命的做法是不可取的。19.答案：B参考译文根据作者的观点，延长人的生命等同于什么？试题分析本题为细节题。详细解答短文第一段提到“But，as any geriatric ward shows，that is not the same as to confer enduring mobility，awareness and autonomyExtending life grows me dically feasible，but it is often a life deprived of everyth
10、ing.“ 由此可知，延长生命并不等于给予人们持久的灵活性、觉察力与自治力，依靠药物是可以延长生命的，但是这等于过着一种被剥夺了一切的生活。因此选项 B 为正确答案。20.答案：D参考译文文章第二段对什么进行了比较？试题分析本题为细节归纳题。详细解答短文第二段第二句说：“It would mirror the fate of athletics，in which disproportionate energies and resources-not least medical ones, like illegal steroids-are now invested to shave recor
11、ds by milliseconds.“由此表明靠药物来延长生命如同运动员服用兴奋剂那样都是会产生不良后果的，故第二段是将“运动员和长寿”进行了比较。Passage Four短文大意：本文介绍了智利在发展旅游业方面所面临的问题。21.答案：A参考译文什么是影响智利旅游业提高的不利因素？试题分析本题为细节题。详细解答短文第一段首句说“The biggest problem facing Chile as it promotes itself as a tourist destination to be reckoned with, is that it is at the end of the
12、earth.“，此话告诉我们，智利在旅游业开发方面遇到的最大障碍是它位于地球末端。由此可知，地理位置是智利旅游业发展的不利因素。故选项 A（地理位置）为正确答案。22.答案：B参考译文智利过去好多游客不是来自下列哪一地方？试题分析本题为细节推理题。详细解答短文第二段第二句说“But it is succeeding, not only in existing markets like the USA and Western Europe but in new territories，in particular the Far East.“ 这里是说，现在智利不仅在老市场，如美国和西欧，吸引更多
13、游客，而且在新地区，特别是远东地区也成功地吸引一批游客。由此可知，智利过去游客来自美国与西欧，而远东是新开辟的市场。因此选项 B（远东地区）为正确答案。 23.答案：C参考译文根据作者的观点，什么是智利最吸引人的地方？试题分析本题为细节题。详细解答短文第五段通过具体例子说明了它的许多吸引处，但第六段提出：“But the trump card is the Andes mountain range.“ 这与选项 C 的意思一致，故答案选 C.24.答案：B参考译文根据该短文，智利正在哪一方面进行改进？试题分析本题为细节题。详细解答短文第九段首句说“Internal transport link
14、s are being improved and luxury hotels are being built in one of its national parks.“由此可知，智利国内交通线路正在得到改善，故选项 B“国内交通体系” 为正确答案。25.答案：A参考译文下列哪一项不是人们反对智利发展旅游业的原因？试题分析本题为细节题，可用排除法解答。详细解答短文倒数第二段第一句说“The policy of opening up Antarctica to tourism is also politically sensitive.“ 由此可排除选项 B“政治上的敏感” ；该段最后一说“Th
15、ere is a genuine fear that areas of Chile will suffer the cultural destruction,“由此可知，人们担心旅游业开发会破坏当地文化，由此可排除选项；短文倒数第三段第二句说“Indigenous and environmental groups, including Greenpeace, say that many parts of the Andes will suffer if they become over-developed.“由此可知，当地居民和环境保护人士都是反对过度开发智利旅游业的，因此应排除选项 D（引起
16、当地的环境污染） 。只有选项 A（雄心的，不现实的）不符合文意，故为正确答案。Section BPassgae 5 (10 points)26. E 第三段介绍荷尔蒙波动的研究情况，Canadas York University 针对女性进行测试，Professor Kimura 则针对男性。27. F 此段对专家的测试进行总结，并介绍男女能力的差异和平衡。28. D 此句是两性和谐相处的一个例子，下文继续对此进行介绍。29. A 本段开始引入 Dr Terri Apter 的观点。30. B 承接上文 Dr Terri Apter 关于女性 natural gift 的观点，并以 Dr Te
17、rri Apter 的话作结。 Error Correction (10 points)31.答案：can must详细解答根据上下文，短文第一句指出了“抓板凳”是典型的意图性动作。第二句就来解释这个动作发生的情景，即主客谈了许久后，主人有个约会，必须离开去赴约。这里要表示一种主动愿望“必须，不得不”的意思，而不是能力。所以应将 can 改为 must.32.答案：notto.详细解答本题属动词不定式否定形式的误用。ones desire to do sth为固定搭配，意为“去做的欲望，想去做”，其否定形式是在 to 前面加 not，即 ones desire not to do sth意为“
18、不愿去做 ”。33.答案：ofabout 详细解答本句是说“如果他不在意客人的感受，他就会从座位上站起来，说他要离开”，这里要表达“ 对在意，在乎” ，故应该用 care about 这一固定搭配，而 care for 意为“喜欢，爱好；照顾“ ，不合题意。34.答案：to详细解答本句中的 get up out of his chair（从板凳上站起来）和 announce his departure （说他要离开）是两个衔接很紧的动作，共用助动词 would，所以应将 to 删掉。35.答案：thereforebut详细解答根据上下文，本句的前后两部分之间是转折关系。而 therefore
19、意为“因此”，表示因果关系，因此应改用转折连词 but.36.答案：raiserise.详细解答raise 为及物动词，意为“使升高，提升；抚养，养育 ”，其后必须接宾语。而本句中的动词 raise 后无宾语，所以应改为 rise。rise 为不及物动词，意为“起身”。37.答案：asif 或 though详细解答本句意为“身体向前，抓住椅子的扶手，就好像要把自己支撑起来一样”。而连词 as 不能表达“仿佛，好像”的意思，只有把它改成 as ifthough 才合乎题意。38.答案：makeperform 或 do详细解答文中要表达的意思是“他将首先做出的动作。 ”只有 performdo a
20、n action表示“做动作”，而没有 make an act 这一表达方式。39.答案：thea详细解答定冠词 the 表特指，不定冠词 aan 表泛指。这里是说“如果他不迟疑，动作只会花不到一秒的时间” ，是泛指任何一秒，而不是特指某一秒，所以应该用不定冠词。40.答案：postposture详细解答post 意为“柱杆；邮件；职位，岗位”等；posture 意为“姿势，举止；态度”。这里是说“他保持着随时起身的姿势”，所以应用 posture 合乎题意。Prat .

25、但这却并不仅仅是因为书中文章内容好而引起得这些书虫陷得如此之深， 印刷工一直很清楚， 印刷的美学与图书的吸引力的很大的关系。早在 500 多年前，古登堡利用活字印刷术组装成了第一台印刷机，自从那个时候起， 排字工便开始烦恼怎么安排字母的磅值才有最佳效果，是否应该在衬线边上排上花线， 选择什么样的字体，以及具体要多宽的行间距才能凸显出文字。印刷得好，读者也就能更容易融入书中去。但是随着电脑的使用， 阅读却变得困难得多了。其中最大的问题是电脑的分辨率， 即屏幕上文字与图片的清晰度。在电脑发展的过程中，有一个很大的障碍，文字模糊不清，且屏幕过于耀眼，使读者头昏眼花。微软公司的调查显示，由于可读性太差
26、，一般读者都会在电脑上读了三段后立马点“打印” 按钮。当人们还在想方设法地开发新技术以提高电脑分辨率的时候，微软公司则致力于研究新的字体，让眼睛能够更轻松地在屏幕上专心阅读。但是，1994 年被聘为微软印刷部总裁的比尔希尔想知道的是读者在阅读时脑子里到底在想些什么，他相信如果他能够在电脑屏幕上模拟出在书本上阅读的感觉，人们必定会改变自己的阅读习惯用电脑阅读。希尔在微软网站上说：“ 书本的神奇之处就在于当你读的时候，它就消失了，你根本就没有察觉到它的存在，因为真正的书本就在你的脑子里，可这又是怎样办到的呢？”Part V【范文】How to Survive College LifeThe col
