答案:
5l C 第一段第一個(gè)句子是主題旬,說的是:Eric:Brown討厭買東西。因此"shopping"是合適的選擇。
52 A 語(yǔ)境是這樣的:當(dāng)我出去買東西時(shí),我基本上已經(jīng)知道要買什么。我沖了進(jìn)去,買了后……顯然,填入"get 0ut"(出去)是連貫的。"move round"是"轉(zhuǎn)身","look round"是"環(huán)顧","move about"是"閑蕩",不難看出,這些都不是 合適的選擇。
53 B 第二段的第一個(gè)句子說的是:通常人們認(rèn)為,男人討厭買東西。第三句的起始詞是"But",它告訴我們意思將發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)折,因此"challenging"是合適的選擇。"challenging"是"挑戰(zhàn)"的意思。"defending"是"保衛(wèi)","proving"是"證明","supporting"是"支持".
54 A 第三段的第一個(gè)句子引自紐約城市大學(xué)社會(huì)學(xué)教授Sharon zukin的話,大意是:……在社會(huì)階層、種族特點(diǎn)、年齡上是有差異的,男人都說他們討厭買東西??梢钥闯?,合適的選擇是".Regardless of"(不管)。"Because of","Owing to","1'hanks to"都表示"原因",插入后意思上是不連貫的。
55 B 緊接著第三段第一個(gè)句子的后一個(gè)句子由"Yet"起始, 這個(gè)詞提示我們由它引導(dǎo)的句子在意思上跟上~個(gè)句子構(gòu)成對(duì)比。由于上一個(gè)句子說的是"男人們討厭買東西",那么這個(gè)句子應(yīng)當(dāng)說的是男人們實(shí)際上是喜歡買東西的。因此,"like"是合適的選擇。
56 D 從下文的"music"(音樂),"hardware"(硬件)判斷,"coats"(外套),caps(帽子)socks(:襪子)都不是合適的選擇,因?yàn)樗鼈兌疾荒芘c"music"和"hardware"構(gòu)成一個(gè)比較自然的類別,所以惟有"books"是合適的選擇。另外,緊隨其后的一句話中也出現(xiàn)了"books"這個(gè)詞,這是提示。
57 D 該題問的是:男人們不把買書和占樂制品看做是購(gòu)物,那么他們把它們看做是什么呢?從下面的三段提供的信息來看,"research"(研究)比"job"(活),"movement"(走動(dòng)),"exercise"(鍛煉)更合適一點(diǎn)。
58 D 該題問的是:男人們和女人們?cè)诜Q之為"買東西"和行事方式上都會(huì)怎么樣? 所在的句子實(shí)際上是對(duì)前~段文章的總結(jié)。所以合適的選擇是"different".similar"(相似的),"close"(相近的)和"alike"(相同的)都不構(gòu)成答案。
59 A 買東西是需要來回看的,這是常識(shí)。另外,緊隨其后的句子中也用了"'wander"(漫游)這個(gè)詞。
60 D 上文中出現(xiàn)了"perfect"(完美無缺的)。注意:文章始終在把男人與女人做比較。因此此處也應(yīng)用"perfect".
61 C 注意緊隨其后的動(dòng)詞不定式"to be won"(贏得),能跟"'won"在語(yǔ)義上搭配的只能是"game"(游戲)。
62 C 這個(gè)句子要表達(dá)的是:這會(huì)使得他們快樂。"makes"是正確的。如果用"brings",須改原文:it brings them happiness或it brings happiness to them.如用"causes",也須改原文:it causes them to become happy."it keeps them happy"是可以說的,但它的意思是:他們?cè)瓉砭涂鞓?。但是,是否如?文章沒有說。
63 A "nobody","anybody"和"no one"般用于否定的語(yǔ)境。但該句子提供的不是一種否定的語(yǔ)境,因此,正確的選擇是"everybody'".
64 C 至此文章都是在說男女之間的差別,因此"division"是理想的選擇。整個(gè)句子說的是:事實(shí)上,在服裝方面最能清楚地把男女區(qū)分開來。"explanation"是"解釋","intention"是"意圖","description"是"描寫".
65 D 對(duì)許多男人來說,選擇的范圍越窄,買衣服越方便。"選擇的范圍越窄"是"買衣服越方便"的條件。因此"∥(如果)是合適的選擇。
閱讀下面的短文,文中有15處空白,每處空白給出了4個(gè)選項(xiàng),請(qǐng)根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容從4個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選擇1個(gè)答案,涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。
