15、ay. One of the most famous of these is acupuncture(针灸), which is a very old form of treatment from China. It is still widely used in China today, where it is said to cure many illnesses, including tonsillitis, arthritis, bronchitis, rheumatism and flu.2The Chinese believe that there are special ener

When a person is ill the energy in his or her body does not run as well as normal, perhaps because it is weaker or it is blocked in some way. The Chinese believe that if you put very fine needles into the energy line, this
17、 helps_. In this way the body can help itself to get better.3The acupuncturist puts the needles into special places along the energy line and some of these places can be a long way from the place where the body is ill. For example it is possible to treat a bad headache by putting needles into certai

21、)_参考答案.1.B 考查非谓语动词。根据语意可知, retire 与逻辑主语 he 之间存在主动关系,且空格后的时间状语表示一段时间,所以用 v.ing 形式的完成式。2B 考查动词辨析。根据语法规则可知, imagine 和 consider 后不能直接跟动词不定式;prevent 意为“阻止” ,不合句意;bother to do“为做某事费神” 。句意:国内有这么多的好大学,为什么费神到国外学习呢?3B 考查固定句型。happen 和 occur 都是不及物动词,不能直接接宾语;think 的主语应该是人。该题选 B,构成“ It strikes/struck sb that(it o
22、ccurs/occurred to sb that)”句型,意为“某人突然想到” 。4B 考查形容词辨析。句意: 你喜欢她做的事情吗?不喜欢,我认为她做的事情肯定会引起争论。根据语境可知,B 项最符合句意。5C 考查动词短语辨析。句意:珍妮照常努力学习而且也有了回报,她又一次在期末考试中获得第一名。根据句意选择 C 项,pay off 意为“回报” 。show off 炫耀;pay back 偿还;turn up 出现。6C 考查副词辨析。句意:我们处境很艰难,但是总体来说我们相当高兴。根据本句中的转折连词 but 可知应用 fairly,表示“相当,颇” 。A 项表示“很少” ;B 项表示“
23、仅仅” ;D 项表示“主要地” ,都不符合句意。7B 考查动词辨析。complain 意为“抱怨” ;oppose 意为“反对” ,其后直接跟名词或动名词,不接不定式; resist 意为“抗拒,反抗” ,后不接 to;object to 意为“反对” ,其中 to 是介词,后跟名词或动名词作宾语。8C 考查介词短语辨析。句意:当被问及他们对校长的看法时,许多老师更想他能让位给年轻人。in favor of“赞成;支持” ;in terms of“就而论;在方面” ;in need of“需要 ”;in praise of“赞扬 ”。根据 step aside 可判断是想让校长让位,即“支持”
24、年轻人,所以选 C 项。9B 考查非谓语动词与句子结构。句意:我们经常碰到一些甚至连以母语为英语的人都认为让人困惑的词组。形容词 confusing 作宾语补足语,说明 some groups of words 的性质。10B 考查动词用法。forbid sb.to do sth.意为“禁止某人做某事” ,为固定短语,此处为其被动结构。11D 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知, “own”与“This restaurant”构成逻辑上的动宾关系,且“_ by an old couple”作“This restaurant”的后置定语,故用 own 的过去分词形式,选 D。12C 考查介词短语辨
25、析。 owing to 意思是“由于” 。句意:正是由于詹妮的及时帮助,我们才按时完成了任务。in addition to 此外;according to 根据;in relation to 关于,涉及。13B 考查介词短语的用法。 condition 表示“条件”时是可数名词,表示 “状况”时是不可数名词。根据主语 bicycle 和 repaired 可知,此处的 condition 表示“状况” ,所以不能用冠词 a。14B 考查同位语从句。句意:是否创立一个不同的社会福利体系这个问题将会出现。这是一个分隔式的同位语从句,根据语意可知用 whether 来引导此同位语从句,表示“是否”
26、。if 一般不引导同位语从句,故排除 D 项。15A 考查倒装结构。here,there,now ,then 等副词位于句首,主语为名词,谓语动词是 be,come,go 等词,且为一般时态时,句子常用全部倒装结构。.本文讲述了现代企业招聘面试中的能力倾向测试并为求职者提供了回答此类问题的技巧。16A 写作目的题。通读全文可知,本文意在为面试者提供建议。17C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的 “It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems,rather than what they know.”可知答案为 C 项。18B 细节理解题。
27、根据最后一段的最后一句 “Remember that in an aptitude test,the correct answer is always the honest answer.”可知,在能力倾向测验中,求职者应该给出一个诚实的答案。19D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的内容可知,西方的求职者们不断发现他们被问到类似这样的奇怪问题,而且有迹象表明这种情况在中国也开始出现。由此可推知 D 项正确。.20.Acupuncture.21the energy to return to normal22That it doesnt hurt.由第三段倒数第二句可知,当针刺入人身体时,竟然不会造成任何伤害,这种针灸疗法让人惊讶。23Because it is weaker or it is blocked in some way.24How and why acupuncture works.由最后一段后三句可知,针灸是如何以及怎样奏效的,这是大自然的奥秘之一。
