Text 11答案
1. 【答案】B
【解析】做完形填空時(shí)不能急于下手,一般要先通讀全文,把握文章大意,上下文信息能幫助我們做出正確選擇。通讀全文后我們知道這篇文章講的是農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的新變化。第一段第二句話和第二段第一句話都提到了organic一詞,由此可見(jiàn)本文開(kāi)頭部分講的是organic produce,因此正確答案是B。
2. 【答案】A
【解析】本題的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)是兩組反義詞。Positive的意思是“正面的,積極的”,negative的意思是“負(fù)面的”,active是“活躍的,主動(dòng)的”,而passive是“被動(dòng)的,消極的”。根據(jù)語(yǔ)篇信息,文章開(kāi)頭提到有機(jī)農(nóng)產(chǎn)品,后面還提到轉(zhuǎn)基因產(chǎn)品,而這些都是農(nóng)產(chǎn)品發(fā)展中的巨大突破,所以應(yīng)當(dāng)是positivedevelopment,答案為A。
3. 【答案】D
【解析】本題中容易排除的是B、C選項(xiàng),contribution為“捐獻(xiàn),貢獻(xiàn)”’conversion為“變化,轉(zhuǎn)換”,它們都與上下文不協(xié)調(diào)。正確選項(xiàng)只能是controversy和confusion其中之一。這兩個(gè)詞意思相近,但controversy意思是“論爭(zhēng),辯論”,指的是對(duì)同一事物不同的看法或意見(jiàn)上的分歧,而confusion意思是“混亂,混淆”,指的是對(duì)事物正確理解方面的困惑。而原句中exactly(準(zhǔn)確地,精確地)和means說(shuō)明此處應(yīng)當(dāng)是準(zhǔn)確理解意思方面的困惑。 正確答案為D。
4. 【答案】A
【解析】label意為“標(biāo)簽,商標(biāo)”,mark是“標(biāo)志,標(biāo)記,痕跡”。我們?cè)诘诙蔚箶?shù)第二句話中也可發(fā)現(xiàn)label――詞。因此應(yīng)選A。
5. 【答案】C
【解析】gene是“基因”,composition是“合成物,作文”,都易排除。Component(成分)一個(gè)物體的各個(gè)組成部分,相當(dāng)于part,例如:the components of a camera; ingredients(成分)指混合物的組成成分,例如:the ingredients of a medicine。根據(jù)上下文,這里意思是產(chǎn)品部分成分為有機(jī)物,所以應(yīng)選C。
6. 【答案】A
【解析】determine意思是“決定”,illustrate意思是“舉例說(shuō)明”,recommend意思是“推薦”,demonstrate意思是“示范,證明”。待選動(dòng)詞的主語(yǔ)是standard(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)),determine與其搭配最合適,所以正確答案為A。
7. 【答案】D
【解析】句子前半部分意思是陪審團(tuán)退庭審議,這里指人們現(xiàn)在對(duì)有機(jī)產(chǎn)品和轉(zhuǎn)基因產(chǎn)品的利弊仍無(wú)法做出判斷。此處被選介詞應(yīng)當(dāng)是關(guān)于的意思,只有on有此意,正確答案為D
8. 【答案】B
【解析】modify意思是“轉(zhuǎn)變,改良”,model意思是“模仿”,motivate意思是“激發(fā)”。轉(zhuǎn)基因產(chǎn)品的正確說(shuō)法是genetically modified organism,因此答案是B。
9. 【答案】B
【解析】C和D易排除,不能和effect搭配。Long-run意思是“長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的,最終的”,long-term意思是“長(zhǎng)期的”。待選項(xiàng)應(yīng)該與and前面的short是對(duì)應(yīng)的,因此正確答案為B.
10. 【答案】C
【解析】前半句的意思是沒(méi)有人明確知道轉(zhuǎn)基因產(chǎn)品的短期和長(zhǎng)期效應(yīng),后半句的意思是它們可能導(dǎo)致某種情況,前后意思有轉(zhuǎn)折,因此答案為C。
11. 【答案】C
【解析】unconditional意思是“無(wú)條件的,絕對(duì)的”,unexceptional意思是“非例外的,不獨(dú)特的”,unintentional意思是“非故意的,無(wú)意識(shí)的”,uncontroversial意思是“非爭(zhēng)論性的,未引起爭(zhēng)論的”。Unintentional最符合句意,對(duì)雜草的creation不是故意的,所以應(yīng)選C。
12. 【答案】A
【解析】intervene(插入,干涉)和介詞between或in搭配,intrude(闖入,侵?jǐn)_)和介詞into或on搭配,可排除。interfere和interact都能和with搭配,interfere的意思是“干擾,干涉”,interact的意思是“相互作用”。本句意思是基因工程可能會(huì)對(duì)農(nóng)作物自然生長(zhǎng)有擾亂。正確選項(xiàng)應(yīng)為A。
13. 【答案】B
【解析】從句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析來(lái)看, you’re shopping是從句。據(jù)此只能選anytime,四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有anytime可引導(dǎo)從句,它的用法相當(dāng)于“no matter when”或“whenever”。正確答案為B。
14. 【答案】A
【解析】brand name是“商標(biāo)”,codename是“代號(hào)”,product name不是固定搭配,意思是產(chǎn)品的名字,family name是“姓”。顯然brand更符合句子的意思,因此答案為A。
15. 【答案】B
【解析】據(jù)上下文的關(guān)鍵詞“one…the other. . . ”和“An easy way to compare two companies”,可見(jiàn)這句話是對(duì)兩類公司的對(duì)比。因此只能選while“而…”,正確答案為,B。
16. 【答案】B
【解析】constructive和destructive是一組反義詞,分別是“建設(shè)性的”和“破壞性的”,instructive意思是“有益的,教育意義的”,obstructive意思是“妨礙的”。While之前的句子意思是某個(gè)公司是環(huán)境保護(hù)的擁護(hù)者,那么與之相對(duì)照的是對(duì)環(huán)境有破壞行為的公司,所以正確答案為B。
17. 【答案】C
【解析】A、D易排除,分別為“視覺(jué)”和“網(wǎng)”的意思。Address和site都有“地址’之意,但address通常指住址和收信地址。WWW. responsibleshopper. com. 很明顯是網(wǎng)址,只能用sites,因此選C。
18. 【答案】B
【解析】四個(gè)動(dòng)詞詞頭相同,profit意思是“贏利”,profile的詞根為file,應(yīng)與“記錄”有關(guān),意思是“描述,給…寫(xiě)傳略(或概況)”,propose為“提議”之意,protect則為“保護(hù)”。本題的關(guān)鍵在于要首先明白“they”的指代,根據(jù)上下文,they指的是上一句中的“sites”,動(dòng)詞的賓語(yǔ)是every company,根據(jù)句子的意思,答案應(yīng)該是B。這句話的意思是這些網(wǎng)址描述了它們所記錄的各個(gè)公司好的和壞的方面。
19. 【答案】D
【解析】整篇文章講的是農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的新發(fā)展及其對(duì)環(huán)境保護(hù)的影響,所以此題答案為D。這句話的意思是有環(huán)保意識(shí)的購(gòu)物是造成改變的有力工具。
20. 【答案】B
【解析】nursery意思是“托兒所”,grocery意思是“食品,雜貨”,bakery意思是“面包店”,stationery意思是“文具”。本文講的是農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的發(fā)展變化,grocery比bakery顯然更全面,是最合適的選項(xiàng),因此正確答案為B。
