参考答案

参考解析
解析:连接词辫析。although,尽管,since, because, therefore表示原因和结果。本句话是指“尽管笔直、宽阔的现代化公路很好,但是这样的公路并不一直让人满意”,有转折的意思,所以选A。
词汇搭配题。"stable(稳定的)”、"splendid(杰出的)”和“complicated(复杂的)”一般不能用来修饰“roads" 。
由于后面提到了“many straight sections",可见指的是很少急转弯的公路,所以选择修饰可数名词的“few",表达较少的意思。
根据上下文,如果高速公路总是保持笔直,对于驾驶者来说是没有什么乐趣而言的,因此正确答案为“enjoyable"。
介词“by”和动词“pass"搭配表示“经过,逝去”的意思,其他三个词搭配借误。
副词“furthermore”表明它是对上一句的补充,即高速公路不仅经过景区卜乡村,往往还把庞大的都市中心区连接起来,所以选B。
词语搭配题。表达“交通拥挤”时,用“heavy”来修饰“traffic"。
前面提到了“rush hours"(交通高峰期),后面跟的是一个非限定性定语从了,选项中只有“when”可以作表示时间的引导词。
从上下文判断,此句应该是条件句,即如果你不着急,还有“always another route to take(另外一条路可选)",因此选项B正确。
根据主句中的“older ...roads”可推断此空需要填一个比较意义的副词,以构成对比关系。relatively“相应地,相对地”为正确答案。其他三个词的意思分别为:regularly“有规律地,定期地”;respectively“各自地”;reasonably“有理由地”。
根据此空前后词及结构可断定此空应使用比较级,故可排除选项A和D。 另外,根据上下文可推测此空应为“less",因为“more heavily traveled”意为“车辆拥挤的”公路,与常识不符。
从下文的“others”可知此空正确答案为选项D。
根据上文的“slopes”和下文的“hillsides”就可以断定这里需要一个表示路况不好的词,选项A (rocks)意义不符,故只有B( cliffs)“悬崖”为正确答案。
根据题目和选项可断定此空应为“towns”的后置定语,由此可猜测句义为 “位于深谷中的城镇”,lie是“位于”,是不及物动词,不能以过去分词的形式出现作名词的后置修饰语,故正确答案为“lie”的现在分词形式“lying"。
定语从句修饰地方时用“where”来引导。2,4,7,14,23,37,43,45,57,62-66,69,70,74-78,81,86-90,92-96,107,117

考题 Between about 1910 and 1930, new artistic movements in European art were making themselves felt in the United States. American artists became acquainted with the new art on their trips to Paris and at the exhibitions in the famous New York gallery “291”( named after its address on Fifth Avenue) of the photographer Alfred Stieglitz. But most important in the spread of the modern movements in the United States was the sensational Armory Show of the 1913 held in New York, in which the works of many of the leading European artists were seen along with the works of a number of progressive American painters. Several of the American modernists who were influenced by the Armory Show found the urban landscape, especially New York, an appealing subject. Compared with the works of the realist painters, the works of American modernists were much further removed from the actual appearance of the city; they were more interested in the “feel “ of the city, more concerned with the meaning behind appearance. However, both the painters of the Ash Can School” and the later realists were still tied to nineteenth-century or earlier styles, while the early modernists shared in the international breakthroughs of the art of the twentieth century.The greatest of these breakthroughs was Cubism, developed most fully in France between 1907 and 1914, which brought about a major revolution in Western painting. It overturned the regional tradition that had been built upon since the Renaissance. In cubism, natural forms were broken down analytically into geometric shapes. No longer was a clear differentiation made between the figure and the background of a painting: the objects represented and the surface on which they were painted became one. The Cubists abandoned the conventional single vantage point of the viewer, and objects depicted from multiple viewpoints were shown at the same way.51.What’s the main topic of the passage?A.

考题 共用题干 第二篇The American IndustryA history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap,but if properly handled,it may become a driving force.When the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War,it had a market eight times larger than any competitor,giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale.Its scientists were the world's best,its workers the most skilled.America and Americans were prosperous beyond the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose economies the war had destroyed.It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer. Just as inevitably,the retreat from predominance proved painful.By the mid-1980s Americans had found themselves at a loss over their fading industrial competitiveness.Some huge American industries, such as consumer electronics,had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition.By 1987 there was only one American television maker left,Zenith.(Now there is none:Zenith was bought by South Korea's LG Electronics in July.)Foreign-made cars and textiles were sweeping into the domestic market. America's machine-tool industry was on the ropes.For a while it looked as though the making of semiconductors,which America had which sat at the heart of the new computer age, was going to be the next casualty.All of this caused a crisis of confidence.Americans stopped taking prosperity for granted.They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing,and that their incomes would therefore shortly begin to fall as well. The mid-1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes of America's industrial decline.Their sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competition from overseas.How things have changed!In 1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid growth while Japan has been struggling. Few Americans attribute this solely to such obvious causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle.Self-doubt has yielded to blind pride."American industry has changed its structure,has gone on a diet,has learnt to be more quick-witted,"according to Richard Cavanagh,executive dean of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government,"It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving their productivity,"says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute,a think-tank in Washington,DC.And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back on this period as"a golden age of business management in the United States."What does"the American industry has gone on a diet"mean?A:Employees in the American industry are on a diet.B:The American industry has reduced redundant staff.C:The American industry has shrunk.D:The American industry has been made more efficient.

考题 根据以下材料,回答 The American Revolution was not arevolution in the sense of a radical or total change. It was not a sudden andviolent overturning of the political and social framework, such as lateroccurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations.Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. Whathappened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During theconflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Mostof them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of themore isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on. America′s War of Independence heralded thebirth of three modem nations. One was Canada, which received its first largeinflux of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fledthere from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penalcolony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. Thethird new comer--the United States--based itself squarely on republican principles. Yet even the political overturn was not asrevolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notable Connecticut andRhode Island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule alreadyexisting.British officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home-growngoverning class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king andParliament. Which of the following would be thebest title for the passage?A.The United States: An Isolated Community B.Surprising Events During the AmericanRevolution C.Canada and the American War ofIndependence D.The American Revolution: Evolution NotRevolution

考题 问答题Power and Cooperation: An American Foreign Policy for the Age of Global Politics  The age of geopolitics in American foreign policy is over; the age of global politics has begun. Throughout the twentieth century, traditional geopolitics drove U. S. thinking on foreign affairs: American security depended on preventing any one country from achieving dominion over the Eurasian landmass. That objective was achieved with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now the United States finds itself confronting a new international environment, one without a peer competitor but that nonetheless presents serious threats to American security. The terrorists who struck the World Trade Center and the Pentagon neither represented a traditional state-based threat nor were tied to a specific geographical location. Nevertheless, nineteen people with just a few hundred thousand dollars succeeded in harming the most powerful nation on earth.  For more than three centuries, the dynamics of world politics was determined by the interplay among states, especially the great powers. Today, world politics is shaped by two unprecedented phenomena that are in some tension with each other. One is the sheer predominance of the United States. Today, as never before, what matters most in international politics is how—and whether—Washington acts on any given issue. The other is globalization, which has unleashed economic, political, and social forces that are beyond the capacity of any one country, including the United States, to control.  American primacy and globalization bring the United States great rewards as well as great dangers. Primacy gives Washington an unsurpassed ability to get its way in international affairs, while globalization enriches the American economy and spreads American values. But America’s great power and the penetration of its culture, products, and influence deep into other societies breed intense resentment and grievances. Great power and great wealth do not necessarily produce greater respect or greater security. American leaders and the American people are now grappling with the double-edged sword that is the age of global politics.
