Text 16答案
1. 【答案】A
【解析】range是“一系列”,rank是“排,行,列”,region是“地区,地带”,return是“返回,送回”。原文的意思是九个城市的出租车司机说他们发现了顾客的其他东西,region和return可以排除,rank是指排成一行或一列的东西,比如说a rank of great pines(一排挺拔的松树),用在这里也不合适,所以答案是A。
2. 【答案】C
【解析】claim是“认领,索取”,find是“找到,发现”,leave是“丢下,遗忘”,declare是“申报(纳税品、房地产、收益等)”。从文章第一句话可以看出,主题是有关顾客遗忘在出租车上的物品,那么这里选leave的过去式left,C是正确答案。
3. 【答案】C
【解析】空格后的limb是指“肢,臂,腿”,四个选项中能和它搭配的只有artificial,artificial limb的意思是“假肢”,所以答案是C。
4. 【答案】A
【解析】上面一句话说出租车司机发现顾客遗忘的东西有竖琴,奶瓶,假牙和假肢,这句话说一个司机在车里找到了一个婴儿,前面提到的都是无生命的东西,把这些东西丢在车上还情有可原,有的人居然能把活生生的孩子也忘在车上,确实让人难以置信,两句话在意思上是递进的关系,所以选择A。
5. 【答案】B
【解析】handmade是“手工的,手制的”,handheld是“掌上的”,handcrafted是“手工的,手工艺的”,handbound是“手工装订的”。四个选项中能和computer搭配的是handheld,所以答案是B。
6. 【答案】D
【解析】把四个选项分别填入空格,就会发现year和time明显不正确,因为空格后是of 2004,应该是2004年的某段时间,如果填part,表示的时间段又不明确,所以只能选D,the second half of 2004意思是2004年下半年。
7. 【答案】C
【解析】逗号后是从句,没有缺失的句子成分,所以不是定语从句,排除which和what,空格前是年份,所以选C。
8. 【答案】A
【解析】carryout是“实行,执行,进行”,workout是“想出,解决,理解”,find out是“找出,发现,查明(真相)”,figure out是“计算出,想出,理解”。四个选项中只有carry out能和从句里的主语research搭配,所以选A。
9. 【答案】B
【解析】replace是“替换,代替”,return是“归还,回报”,recommend是“推荐,介绍”,recreate是“再创作,消遣,娱乐”。因为这篇文章讨论的是在出租车上遗忘物品及物品的归还,所以选择B。
10. 【答案】D
【解析】find one way是一个固定短语,意思是“设法到达,努力达到”,所以答案是D。 这句话的意思是:“他们说,每五部手机中有四部,每20台电脑中有19台物归原主。”
11. 【答案】C
【解析】careful是“小心的,仔细的”,caretaking是“照管,看管”,careless是“粗心的,疏忽的”,careladen是“忧心忡忡的”。根据文章的主题,这里选择C。
12. 【答案】B
【解析】前半句的意思是:“伦敦人对笔记本电脑似乎比别人更加粗心”,后半句是说:“丹麦人最容易忘记拿手机”,前后半句是并列的关系,所以选表示转折的连词while,B是正确答案。
13. 【答案】C
【解析】fall behind是“落在后面”,stay behind是“依旧落在后面”,leave behind是“不带,忘了带,遗留”,drop behind是“落在…的后面”。根据上下文,应该选left behind,所以选C。
14. 【答案】A
【解析】如果这道题没有看仔细,可能会在car和taxi间犹豫,但因为空格前有back,这两个选项都可以排除,backseat是“(汽车、会场等的)后座”,backbench是“(尤指英国下院的)后座议员席,普通议员席”。很明显,这里应该选A。
15. 【答案】C
【解析】consequence是“后果”,fruit是“成果”,findings是“调查(或研究)的结果”,conclusion是“结论”。因为文中只列出了调查的一些结果,并没有提到有什么结论,所以答案选C。
16. 【答案】A
【解析】四个选项都可以表示“全部的”,但只有total能和number搭配,意思是总数,因此选A。
17. 【答案】C
【解析】turn in是“交还,上交”,turn on是“开,开始”,turnout是“原来是,(最后)证明是”,turnoff是“关,解雇”。turn on和turnoff明显可以排除,turn in后面要直接加宾语,而这个空格后没有,答案是C,这句话的意思是:“一位顾客结果是演员休?格兰特的女朋友。”
18. 【答案】D
【解析】profile是“传略,人物简介,轮廓,外形”,pulse是“脉搏,意向,心态”,preface是“序言,前言”,purse是“钱包,女用小包”。待选项应该和iPod music player,mobile phone构成并列,显然答案是purse,因此选D。
19. 【答案】A
【解析】deliver是“投递,送交”,designate是“指明,指定,称呼”,dedicate是“以…奉献,把(自己、一生等)献给”,direct是“给…指路,使向某一方向转动”。空格后的动词的宾语是items,即Hugh Grant的女友落在出租车上的东西,根据词义判断应该选A。
20. 【答案】C
【解析】automobile是“汽车”,authority是“权威,威信”,autograph是“亲笔签名”,autobiography是“自传”。authority可以立即排除;根据常识排除automobile,剩下的两个选项中,autograph更加合适,因为我们并不知道Hugh Grant是否写了自传,而名人送亲笔签名是很正常的,因此C是正确答案。
