A proposal B suggestionC consideration D appraisal试题详解1D 名词辨析。根据首句可知，本文的主题是 career(职业)，此处应选其近义词 occupation。2A 连词辨析。前句讲理想状态下应该在中
10、学选课之后就确定职业，空格后的句子讲大多数人一生要择业多次，可见空格前后是转折关系，故选 however。3C 副词辨析。空格所在的句子讲人们多次择业的原因，由 because of.and partly to可知 and 前后是两个并列关系的原因，因此前半部分也应填入 partly，与后半部分出现的 partly 相呼应，以保证语义和结构的完整。4D 动词辨析。前句讲到人一生要换很多份工作，由此可以推断出完美的工作并不存在，因此应在 not后填入表示“存在”的词，故选 exist。fade 意为“凋谢，消失” ；vanish 意为“消失” ；survive 意为“幸存” 。5B 副词辨析。前
11、面讲完美的工作并不存在，本句说人们应该参加一些灵活的培训项目，故此处应选表示因果关系的副词，答案选 therefore(因此) 。 since 意为“由于” ，后接原因；furthermore 意为“此外，而且” ，表递进；more-over 意为“些外，而且” 。6B 动词辨析。that 引导的从句修饰 training program，根据常识，这种培训应该使人符合某种行业的要求，符合结构与句意的只有 fit(适合)，fit sbfor sth,意为“使某人适合某事” 。7A 名词辨析。本句的 rather than 表明前后为并列关系，句意为：年轻人应该参加一些广泛而灵活的培训，使他们能
12、胜任某一领域的工作，而不是一项单一的工作。此处 Job 是句中 work 的近义复现。8. C 介词辨析。本句讲年轻人的职业规划，根据本句第一个单词 unfortunately 可判断应填表示否定的单词，故选 without，本句意为：他们的职业规划没有得到职业顾问或心理专家的帮助。9A 形容词辨析。此处填入的应是 vocational counselor or psychologist(职业顾问或心理专家) 的定语。对于寻求帮助的年轻人而言，最重要的是专家有无水平，故选 competent(有能力的，胜任的)。competitive意为“有竞争力的” ；aggressive 意为“有进取心的
13、” ；effective 意为“有效率的” 。10A 形容词辨析。此处应填 know 的宾语。根据句尾的 hit-or-miss(无计划的，无目的的)可以推断，很多年轻人对 occupational world 知之甚少，而且 occupational world 是不可数名词，故选 little。11B 动词辨析。本句意为：有些人不停地换工作，此处填入的词应与 from 构成固定搭配，所以只能选drift。drift from work to work 意为“不停换工作” 。12. C 动词辨析。本句要结合上句进行判断。这两句使用了“Some Others”句型，句意应该相反。前一句是有些人
14、频繁换工作，后一句应是有些人不换工作，故选 stick(to)(坚持) 。13B 代词辨析。根据后文，此处的 prestige 指工作特征而非人的特征，因此应填 its。14. D 动词辨析。后面提到很多高中生或者其家长帮他们选择工作领域，空格后说这类职业从业者较少或对个人要求很高，由此可知他们的选择是盲目的，没有从客观实际出发，故选 disregarding(忽视，漠视)。15B 名词辨析。此处应填可以被 high 修饰的词，表示专业工作的实际情况，故选 requirements(要求)，指胜任这些工作所需的技能要求很高。preferences 意为“优先选择” ；tendencies 意为
15、“倾向” ；ambitions意为“雄心” 。16C 名词辨析。此句表示工作的声望好并不能成为选择作为终身职业的好理由，故选 rcason。resource意为“来源” ；background 意为“背景” ；basis 意为“基础 ”。17D 逻辑关系。本句意为：这些工作不一定报酬都很高，与空格前的句子是递进关系，故选moreover。18C 名词辨析。此处所填的词应该能构成“a of”的结构，表示“一部分” ，只有 proportion(部分) 符合题意。rate 意为“速度，比例” ；thickness 意为“厚度，浓度” ；density 意为“密度” 。19A 名词辨析。此处提醒年轻
16、人要认真考虑这类工作，当然提醒的是大多数人，而非少数人，故选majority。20C 名词辨析。根据上题，作者提醒年轻人认真考虑此事，故选 consideration (考虑，顾虑) 。proposal意为“提议，建议” ；suggestion 意为“建议” ； appraisal 意为“评价，评估” 。强化训练二Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

17、paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage, Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.The horse and carriage is a thing of past, but love and marriage axe still with us and still closely interrelated. Most American marriages, (1)
18、 first marriage uniting young people, are the result of mutual attraction and affection (2) than practical considerations.In the United States, parents do not (3) marriages for their children. Teenagers begin (4) in high school and usually find mates through their own academic and social (5) .Though
19、 young people feel free to choose their friends from (6) groups, most choose a mate of similar (7) . This is due in part to parental guidance. Parents cannot (8) spouses (配偶) for their children, but they can usually (9) choices by voicing disapproval of someone they consider unsuitable.(10) , marria
20、ges between members of different groups (interclass, interfaith, and interracial marriages) are (11) , probably because of the greater mobility of todays youth and the fact that they are (12) by fewer prejudices than their parents. Many young people leave their hometowns to attend college, serve in

Once away from home and family, they are more (14) to date and many outside their own social group.In mobile American society, interclass marriages are neither (15) nor astonishing. Interfaith marriages are (16) the rise, especially between Pr
22、otestants(基督教徒) and Catholics(天主教徒). On the other hand, interracial marriages are still very (17) . It can be difficult for interracial couples to find a place to live, maintain friendships, and (18) a family. Marriages between people of different national (19) (but the same race and religion) have

26、young people 是 most American marriage 中的一部分，由此可以作者在这里是以前者为例，particularly(尤其)多用于举例。specially 意为“特别地” ，多用于表示不普通、不寻常的特点。naturally(自然地)和 fortunately(幸运地)与文意相差太远，可以首先排除。2B 固定搭配。空格所在的句子讲的是美国人结婚的原因，practical consideration(现实的考虑) 与mutual attraction and affection(互相吸引和爱慕)在广义上是一种对比关系，所以应该选 rather，rather than是
27、固定搭配，表示“而不是” ，相当于 instead of。3A 动词辨析。本句的意思是：在美国，父母不 _子女的婚姻，根据常识应该选 arrange，arrange marriage 意为“包办婚姻” 。 engage(订婚)和 propose(求婚)不能与 marriage 搭配；manage( 经营) 与原文不符。4B 动词辨析。由 and usually find mates 可知，空格处应该填入与“交友”有关的词，故选 dating(约会，特指异性间)。appointing 指用权力或共同约定来决定或安排，不合题意。5D 名词辨析。through their own academic
28、and social_是美国中学生交友的途径故选 contact(接触，交往)。positions 意为“地位 ”，associations 意为“联系” ，contracts 意为“合同” ，均不符合文意。6. D 形容词辨析。空格所在分句的句首出现转折连词 though，所以前后分句为转折关系。根据后一句中出现的 similar 可以推断空格处应该填入一个与之意义相反的词汇，故选 different。separate 意为“分开的”，identical 意为“相同的，同一的|” ，independent 意为“独立的” 。7A 名词辨析。根据前半句可知，大多数美国年轻人不会选择与自己来自不
29、同 groups 的人，即两个人要有相似的 background(背景) 。situation 意为“情况，情形” ，circumstance 意为“环境” ，condition 意为“条件” 。8C 固定搭配。由上文可知，美国年轻人选择和自己背景相似的人，部分的原因是父母的引导。本句说“父母不会但是会” ，根据常识，父母应该不会为子女选择配偶，故答案为select，select for 是固定搭配，意为“为选择” 。object(协)意为“反对” ；reject 意为“拒绝” ，不能和 for 搭配；approve(of) 意为“同意” 。9A 动词辨析。由转折词 but 可知，本句和前半句
30、“不能为孩子选择配偶”应为转折关系，故选influence(影响)。10B 副词辨析。上文讲年轻人喜欢找背景相同的配偶，但下文讲的是不同阶级、信仰、种族之间的婚姻，可见前后是转折关系，故选 however(然而)。 therefore 意为“因此” ，表因果关系；moreover 童为“此外” ，表递进关系； likewise 意为“同样地” ，表对比关系。11C 动词辨析。由空格后的 the greater mobility of todays youth(如今年轻人更大的流动性) 和_by fewer prejudices than their parents(比他们的父母更少受到歧视的_
31、)可知，不同 groups 之间的婚姻应该是逐渐增加的，故选 increasing。declining 意为“下降” ；prohibiting 意为“禁止” ；reducing“减少” ，都不符合文意。12D 动词辨析。此句意为：年轻人比他们的父母受到更少歧视的，结合上文应选 restricted(限制)。respected 意为“尊敬” ；retain 意为“保持” ；reserve 意为 “预订” 。13B 逻辑关系。根据上下文逻辑关系，前文的求学(attend college)、参军(serve in the armed forces)与空格后的创业(pursue a career)应是
32、并列关系，故选 or。14A 形容词辨析。根据上下文逻辑关系，离开家乡和家庭(home and family)之后，年轻人与其他社会群体的人约会及结婚的可能性应该是增加了，故选 likely，be likely to 意为“可能” 。possible 也意为“可能”，但不用这个结构，且表示的可能性较小；be reluctant to 意为“勉强” ；be eager to 意为“渴望” 。15C 形容同辨析。此句意为：在美国，不同阶级之间的婚姻既不_，也不奇怪，or 连接的是并列结构，故空格处应该填入 astonishing 的近义词 rare (稀少的)。scarce 意为“不足的” ；ri
33、sky 意为“冒险的” ；rigid 意为“严格的” 。16D 固定搭配。on the rise 意为“不断上升” ，表上升趋势。17B 形容词辨析。由句首的 on the other hand(另一方面 )可知，此处应是转折关系，故处应该填入与 on the rise 相反或相对的词答案是 uncommon(不寻常的)。18A 固定搭配。raise a family 意为“养家” 。19C 名词辨析。根据括号中的解释，这种婚姻的双方种族和信仰相同，但来自不同国家，故选 origin(出身)。source 意为“(信息等的 )来源” ，convention 意为“习俗” ，是干扰项，相同种族和
34、信仰的人习俗应相同，故可以排除； immigrant 意为“移民” ，也是干扰项，可数名词应使用复数形式。20A 介词辨析。空格所在句子为完成时态，而 colonial times 表示的是一个时间起点，故选 since(自从) 。强化训练三Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

35、 best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Mars is not, it seems, the dry old planet we once believed it to be.

42、hedC seen D felt20. A probably B perhapsC supposed D although试题详解1A 词义辨析。expect sbto do sth意为“期望某人做某事” ，常用于被动语态。 hope 意为“希望” ，不能用于“宾语+宾语补足语”的结构；require 意为“命令” ，其用法为 require sbto do sth. ；eager 意为，“渴望的” ，是形容词，be eager to do sth意为“渴望做某事 ”，不符合题意。2B 固定搭配。plenty of(许多) 是固定搭配，其后可接不可数名词或可数名词复数。3A 名词辨析。本句意为
43、：有了水的存在，在火星上发现某种生命的更有希望。由于第二个空格要填入的是比较级的修饰词，所以该空格不影响对句子的理解，因此只要集中判断第一个空格即可。chances 意为“可能性” ；opening 意为“职位的空缺；有利的环境” ；occasion 意为“合适时机” ； opporturnity 意为“机会” ，侧重指做某事的条件或时机。4C 语法结构。四个选项中，只有 much 可以修饰形容词或副词的比较级，表示比较的程度。5B 名同辨析。根据常识，研究火星的应是 geologist(地质学家) 。biologist 意为“生物学家” ；sociologist 意为“社会学家” ；psyc
44、hologist 意为“心理学家” 。6D 固定搭配。 “_ of pictures”和“other scientific_”是并列结构，由表被动语态的过去分词短语 obtained by robot explorers修饰，根据常识，机器人探测器在六七十年代获取的照片应该非常多，所以第一个空格处应该填入 thousands of(许多的，成千上万的 )，来表达“极多”的含义。7D 名词辨析。由于 and 连接的是并列结构，所以此处应该填入一个与 picture 对应的能够用 scientific 修饰的词，所以答案是 information，scientific information 表示
45、“科技信息” 。intelligence 多指市场信息和军事情报。8C 形容词辨析。从选项判断空格处要填入一个形容词，来描述科学家们最初认为的火星与月亮的一个共同特点。结合第二段提到的由于水的存在，在火星上寻找某种生命的希望更大了，可知科学家们最初认为火星上是没有生命的，故填 lifeless(死气沉沉的，没有生命的) 。9A 名词辨析。根据空格前的 dust storms swirling vast sandy可以推断描述的是沙漠的景象，故选deserts。10D 形容词辨析。由选项可知，空格处要填入一个形容词来修饰 glaciers(冰川)。energetic 意为“精力旺盛的，充沛的”
46、；great 侧重指数量、尺寸或程度上的“大” ；massive 侧重指尺寸或数量上的巨大。mighty 指力量上的强大。结合文意，正确答案应该是 D。11C 名词辨析，结合选项和句意分析，空格处应该填入一个名词，并且该名词的动词形式能够与 the Martian pictures 搭配，故而可以首先排除 diagnosis (诊断)。systheses(综合) 是指将不同的事物或观点合在一起，使之成为一个新的整体，与文意不符，故也可以排除。此处只能选 analysis(分析)。12A 动词辨析，I am convinced意为“我被说服相信” 。guarantee 意为“保证” ，belie
47、ve 意为“相信” ，一般不用于被动语态；proved 不合题意，不能说 “我被证明” 。13C 名词辨析。根据常识，冰是水的一种存在形式，所以选 form。appearance 意为“外表，外观” ；mould 意为“铸模，模子” ；shape 意为“外形，形状” 。14B 动词辨析。由转折连词 but 可知，此句是对上文的转折。上文说火星上任何的地表水都是以冰的形式存在的。结合“_explorers having to take so much fresh _ with them”可以推断，but 后说的应该是“探测者们不必带太多新鲜的水” ，故此处应选 save(节省)，save sb(from) doing
