By 李现伟lxw0257111@https://www.360docs.net/doc/317580424.html,

第一部分:填空题

section 2

1. 扣voting rights, 只有suffrage表示“选举权”之意。

restitution:赔偿

solace:n 安慰

levy:n 征税

2. 冒号题,对后文解释的总结,statistical data所以就是demographic(人口统计)。conjectural:a 推测的

anecdotal:a 逸闻趣事的

qualitative:a 性质上的

3. and构成小连接,能和independence相匹配的只有autonomy。independent:: autonomous compromise: v 妥协

servility: n 奴性

persevere: v 坚持

competence: n 能胜任

acquiesce: v 默许

banality: n 陈腐

recant: v 放弃

conformity: n 墨守成规。

4. 冒号题,对后面的总结,“只具有形式而没有功用”对应的单词是vestigial(遗迹的)。ostentatious: a. 假装的,虚伪的

prodigious: a. so great in size or force or extent as to elicit awe相当大的

invasive: a 侵略性的

kinetic: a 有活力的

5. 特殊人物(idealist)或者说取反:idealistic(理想主义的)<> pragmatic(注重实效的)。condone:原谅,indulgent:放纵的

6. in contrast to引起取反,strident(说话严厉的)<> gentle(待人温柔和善的),容易错选的是stoic:坚忍的(表示禁欲,相当于ascetic,temperate等)

conciliatory:a. doing something that is intended to make someone stop arguing with you 调和的,conciliatory <> confronting(对抗性的)

7. 冒号题,找对应,与arguing about对应起来的只有polemical(爱争吵的)和quarrelsome,第一空填反义词,而haphazard(偶然的)没任何意义,只有resolute(坚决的)可以。philanthropic:慈善的;steadfast:a 坚定的;acquiescent:默许的

8. 逗号题,现在分词进行解释,能与unadorned words相匹配的只有economical(节约的)。incantatory:a 咒语的,魔咒的

disaffected:a 不满的

unstinting:a 无限制的

evenhanded:a 公平的

section 5

1.读一下顺一遍,就知道第二空不会填好词。

endorse:v 背书支持;abridge:缩短;

backlash:n. an adverse reaction to some political or social occurrence反对

2. 分号题,找对应,dull对顶tedious(冗长而乏味的)

disjointed:a 杂乱的;unsettling:a 使人不安的

3. 题目难度5,全部是熟词僻意,题目意思容易理解,但选项不好选,因为contain,check 的考察义是我们可能不是很熟悉的。

contain: lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint; hold or keep within limits控制

check: lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint; hold or keep within limits阻止unleash:解开

4. 分号题,从后面找对应;同时逗号提示相反,第二空应填vehement(激烈)的反义词,只有perfunctory(敷衍的,不太重视的),同时第一空填perfunctory的同义词为nonchalant (不关心的)。

scathing:a 严厉的,尖刻的;pugnacious:a 好斗的;bombastic:a 夸张的

5. such…that引起因果关系,能引起daunting(吓人的)的只有convoluted(令人费解的),而culpable(有罪的)不和语境,小说不能是有罪的。

enthralling:a 吸引人的;felicitous:a 得体的,合适的

section 9

1. unlike引起取反,和rarely vary取反,只有improvise(即兴创作)和ad-lib(即兴表演)以及extemporize(即兴创作),但D的rehearse正好与rarely vary相同了,而E的bungle 根本不合适,所以排除。

satirize:v 讽刺;ad-lib: v即兴表演;bungle:v失败

2. 现在分词做原因状语,因果关系,只有B的因果比较合适,其他均不构成因果,其实可以猜出第二空应为“压制”,这样可以直接选出suppress所对应的B。

3. because引起因果关系,只有D能构成因果。

malfeasance:失职;redemptive:a 该赎罪的;transgression:n 犯罪;foible:n过错

4. offset引起小连接,取反,能和advance来offset(抵消),只有E了regressive(倒退的)。

5. 难度5+,这道题题目很简单,但是很容易选错答案,是conservationist(环保主义者)特殊人,但是一定要注意定语从句,定的是legislation,所以应该和conservationist取反了,对应diversify而不选mandate(统治,管理)。

6. because引起因果关系,daily attendance取反,只能放弃的是以前非daily 的习惯了,只有itinerant合适。

sedentary:久坐的;nomadic:a游牧的;glorify:v赞美;relinquish:v放弃

第二部分:阅读理解

读文章:

Passage 1:

…empathy…not a bad thing…

However…guard against…danger…their observations must be as objective as possible…

这个小短篇属于议论文性质的,第一段讲empathy帮助了科学家对黑猩猩的观察,第二段警告这些人一定要防止咋科学观察中的主观主义。

Passage 2:

…richer and more satisfying…obviously similar to ours…

…I was moved by….

这个小短篇是记叙文性质的,就记叙了作者第一天观察黑猩猩的非常快乐的心情(当然以及为什么会快乐)

做题:

9. 难度1—line2:similar to;line 22:similar to

10.难度2—中心题,第二篇就是为了表达自己快乐的心情,所以选D。

11.难度4—交叉题,这道题的难度就在对题干的理解上,the experience described in passage 2 most directly suggests that the statement about the “danger”….

[第二篇文章描述的经验直接现实了关于“danger”的陈述….],显然这种danger是因为empathy而导致了subjective,也即human impulse的作用,即A。

12. 难度5—交叉题,扣中心,我们知道第一篇文章的作者guard against这种danger,也即caution agaist…failing to …..(veryify a conclusion验证自己作出的结论是否正确)

第二篇文章—自然科学类—生物类—文章难度M

第二段:line 16:but why it bothers to flash?.... suicidal….the answer is copepods (the next step up in food chain)….pouncing on yet smaller prey….

第三段:…they don’t like prey that flashes…line36给出了解释,the most likely possibility is…the copepod itself wishes to remain invisible.

第四段:in some of the larger lumiscent species…identification signal…others use light to attract prey….or searchlight…

第五段:…the most widespread use is camouflage…(后面进行了解释)

总结:

观察发光的经历(1)—为什么发光(2)---因为....(3)—光还有...的作用(4)—光的最大的作用. (5)

做题:

13.难度3—主旨题,参总结,只能选D,其它选项都太注重某一段的内容。

14.难度1—give给予,grant给予,略

15.16.难度1—略

17.难度4—细节题,这里扣的细节回原文,看下文,是很下的地方,直接到了下一段,可以看到小动物发光是为了让copepod知道,我是你将要吃的东西,你吃了我,你也活不长,所以选deter(威慑)。

18.难度1—略

19.难度4—细节题,看上下文,略。

20-23. 难度3,略。

24.难度4—逻辑—类比,找到类比的点,我们可以看到submarine浮出水面会被飞机侦测到,所以就是暴露自己,对应的只有A。

做题:

6.难度1—非常类似于“暖洋洋的风(暗示慵懒),晴空万里(暗示心情好),乌云密布(暗示心情很糟或者要发生不好的事情了)。

7.难度3—比喻,把大蒜头比喻为钱袋(装金币),显然是形象相同,所以对应D。

8.难度3—扣subversive 的英文。

9.难度4—扣timorous,显然对应bolder。

第二篇文章—文章类型—小说—难度M

读文章

这篇小说主要谈了这个侦探对其不关心的知识出人意料的完全无知的状态,这个侦探的阐述的原因是记忆这些不相关的事实会占据自己脑袋的有限的空间。

做题:

10.难度4—细节题所支持的论点—举的例子的作用,前面已经讲过了,即便不举A,也可举B,也可以举C,所以那些局限于A如何如何的好或者不好的答案肯定是错的,因为他局限于细节本身,所以只有B正确。

11.难度3—扣surprise

12.难度3—这道题你要按这个单词不认识,按填空题原理来做了,显然是“想到”的意思。

13.难度2—还是扣surprise。

14.难度2—细节题,显然是不分青红皂白的把什么都吸收进去了。

15.难度3—作者态度题--pragmatic讲了很多次了,考了很多次了,而且每次考每次都是选它,请参考前面讲义的内容。

第三篇—文章类型—随笔类—文章难度M

第一段至第三段:描述了一种family ritual,即当某个亚洲人出现在电视上时,全家人专注看并加以评论(评论别人);第四到第五段,讲了自己上电视的一次经历(评论自己);最后一段评论,希望有更多的亚洲人可以上电视。显然本文是从个人角度来阐述问题。

做题:

16.难度1—参分析。

17.难度2—扣细节,line9,we only shout…line 12, make a frenzied rush…所以是一种excitement,而respect表现不出来。(参考OG有篇写一个女生进入了一个放着大提琴的屋子的那种感觉,那道题答案是reverent)

18.难度1—略

19.难度4—作者态度题,只有thorough and systematic可以配的上,其他的都太大了,比如B的bewildering,C的demoralizing,D的contentious and overwrought你都找不到细节词语或者语气与之对应。

20.难度3—扣irksome,也可以扣line 46,they held back from doing their usual crique.E是错误的,因为inconsistent(与…不一致)在这篇文章中体现不出来。

21.难度3—对本题持保留意见,因为C这个答案在lines39-43中表现不出来。

22.难度3—对本题持保留意见,从somehow(不知道什么缘故)可以看到作者有点小小的惊讶,所以not surprised by有点错误。

24.难度2—扣中心即可。

Section 9

文章类型—双长篇对比阅读—文学批评类--文章难度H+

词与句:

Faithful:a. 如实的,忠于原文的faithful translation忠于原文的翻译

This newspaper gave a faithful account of the event. 这份报纸对那件事进行了如实的报道。Oddity: n. 奇异,奇妙

Uncouth: a. 粗俗的,怪异的

Counterfeit: n. 膺品,伪造品

Treacherous: a. 叛逆的,危险的

Insincere: a. 不真诚的,虚伪的

读文章:

斜体字:adress the issue of accuracy(论题内容)…

Passage 1

第一段:描述一种现象

第二段:Newman认为literal translation就是faithful translation,但Arnold认为如果是faithful translation则会使得荷马的作品显得oddity and uncouthness(怪异),因为他把原来荷马的作品的the impression of those qualities都破坏掉了.

第三段:举了一个例子,如果按照literal translation,则会翻译为it makes cold,很怪的翻译。第四段:…translated literally, then false emphases are created…后面举了一个例子如果是lieteral translation的话,会导致什么样的错误。

第五段:lines 36-45 讲了现在翻译界的状况:literal translation,这在过去的欧洲的翻译家是一种犯罪;lines 46至完,则是第二层一次,即作者认为best readers not in the literal rendering,而是something being recreated,从这个层面上作者也间接的反对了literal translation。Passage 2

第一段叙述了一种状况,即EP这个人翻译的作品是reproducing the Anglo-Saxon sounds,即按音节翻译;第二段:offend…provoke warth…obviously it is not…后面通过举例子讲了这种翻译方法有很多缺陷,所以引起了其他作家的不满;第三段:Neverthless一转,作者认为这种翻译方法bring over the sense and spirit of the original…,所以作者认为这种翻译方法还是有可取之处的。

第一篇是反对literal translation的,因为它有很多缺点;第二篇指出了一种翻译方法,虽然也有很多缺点,但是可以传达在第一篇Arnold所指出的作品的一些原始的东西。

做题:

7. 难度3—双篇比较—同,这个需要总结一下,显然两篇文章的作者都对D是认同的,不然也不会写这两篇文章,容易错选的是D,第二篇文章没有说对faithful translation的意见,所以我们不知道他是支持还是反对。

8. 难度3—交叉—扣第二篇文章的中心,显然第二篇文章关心的是bring over the sense and spirit of the original,对应选项D。

9. 难度5—交叉--推理题,这篇文章还是要扣第二篇文章的中心,第二篇文章认为那种用“读音相同”方法翻译的文章,虽然有很多错误,但是它传达了作品原来的“感觉”,而literal translation的这种翻译方法能否“传达这种感觉”呢?显然这是第二篇文章最关心的问题。

10.难度1—略。

11.难度2—扣faithful translation(忠于原文的翻译),对应B选项。

12.难度5+--这道题难度在于选项,treat authors with excessive reverence(太在乎原始作者想要说什么了),也即faithful translation的核心内容。

13.难度5—扣第二篇文章的中心bring over the sense and spirit of the original,对应A选项。

14.难度3—双篇文章交叉,sholars我们可以把他们界定为支持literal translation的人,而第一篇文章支持literal translation的就是Newman了。

15.难度3—细节题,显然第二篇文章的作者对Pound这种翻译方法也是不满的

16.难度3—细节题,略。

17.难度3—双篇交叉,我们知道第二篇文章认为翻译应该传达作者原始的感情,显然it makes cold违反了愿意。

18.难度3—第二篇文章的中心,理解了中心就不难选择meaning了。

19.难度3—还是扣两篇的中心,显然要传达文章原来的意思。

SAT写作真题解析: 此次的SAT写作题目,是一个选择疑问句,而句内是对行为属性的判定。拆解开来分别是“Showing vulnerability is courageous.”和“Showing strength is courageous.”所以这个SAT写作题目问的是显露弱点和优势这两种行为哪个更勇敢? 考生能联想到的是目前正经历的传统教育中经常被灌输的的“要考好”、“你看别人家的孩子……”、“别人都去你怎么不去?”的“争先恐后”思想。竞争和压力的成长和学习环境中总是被动或者主动的在展示“优点”和“强大”。由此,想到The Joy Luck Club中女儿Waverly弹奏钢琴和参加弈棋比赛展现自己优点才华的场景。那么不同的读者在这里看到的故事是不同的,有人觉得Waverly展示自己的才华并非所愿,这种行为也没有给她带来好处。由此回到题目中对改行为的判定,落到是否courageous这个属性上来。我们最基本的学习和竞争中,展现自己的才华和强大都是必要的,比如考生们在申请学校的文书中也是极尽所能的在做这件事。

A. concern B. uncertainty C. confusion D. generosity E. excitement 中文释义:雅各布对于即将开始的巴西之旅感到非常兴奋,确实是这样,他几乎难以抑制他的热情。 题意解析:分号后是对前半句的进一步解释说明,表明雅各布对于巴西之旅很期待,因此他的感受应该是比较兴奋,E项正确,A项意思是关注,B项是不确定,C项是混乱,D项是慷慨大方,均不合句意。 词汇解释: upcoming:即将到来的;forthcoming, approaching contain:1. 包含comprise, include;2. 控制;to keep within limits; 3. 容纳;to have with, hold; 4. 牵制;check, halt 2.

A. witty B. sincere C. lively D. formal E. friendly 中文释义:这位教授的课堂举止非常严肃,和她在私下里表现出的热情风趣一点也不一样。题意解析:never作为连接词表明前后半句句意相反,教授私下的表现与课堂上不同,从后半句中可以看出平时比较热情,于是课堂上时就应该是严谨认真,所以D项正确。A项意思是机智的,B项是真诚的,C项是活泼的,E项是友好的,均不合题意,所以排除。 经典例句:Over the years, teaching methods have changed and become less formal. 这几年来,教学方法已有改变,不是那么正式了。 词汇解释: reveal:显示,揭露;to make (something secret or hidden) publicly or generally known 3.

SAT真题_07年1月word版本

Section 1 Prompt 1 Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. Most human beings spend their lives doing work they hate and work that the world does not need. It is of prime importance that you learn early what you want to do and whether or not the world needs this service. The return from your work must be the satisfaction that work brings you and the world's need of that work. Income is not money, it is satisfaction; it is creation; it is beauty. Adapted from W.E.B. Du Bois, The Autobiography of W.E.B. Du Bois: A Soliloquy on Viewing My Life from the Last Decade of Its First Century Assignment: Is it more important to do work that one finds fulfilling or work that pays well? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations. Prompt 2 Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. If we are dissatisfied with our circumstances, we think about changing them.

2018年5月北美SAT考试真题回顾

2018年5月北美SAT考试真题回顾今天三立在线教育SAT网为大家带来的是2018年5月北美SAT考试真题回顾的相关资讯,备考的烤鸭们,赶紧来看看吧! 考情汇总 1、难点还是集中在阅读上,小说和双篇文章登顶此次最难的两篇。 2、此次考试的语法部分没有特别难的问题,考生均反映难度适中。 3、写作部分选取的文章非常有利于考生展开分析! 4、此次考试数学非常容易,就连北美的同学(美国人)都反映此次数学几乎无压力! 5、加试部分为数学,难度依旧非常低。 阅读部分 第一篇:小说 小说选自美国经典现实主义小说Sister Carrie,作者为Theodore Dreiser,最早出版于1900年。小说描述了一个贫困的乡村姑娘来到大城市生活,内心向往富足的生活。为了摆脱穷困,先后跟推销员和酒店经理同居,最后历经磨难,终成一个著名演员。 小说截取的部分在论述Carrie 在看一出关于纽约奢华生活的舞台剧。台上演员华衣美服,居所装修华丽,生活应有尽有。Carrie 不免生出羡慕向往之心。 舞台剧还体现了这些生活在理想状态人还收到感情爱情嫉妒的折磨,这更让Carrie 羡慕,谁不愿意坐在金椅子里发愁,谁会不愿意在洒了香水的挂毯、有坐垫的家具和穿着制服的仆人那样的条件下受些折磨呢?

回到她小小的flat(套间),Carrie 暗暗下决心,假如我不能过上那样的生活,我就等于没有活过,或者说自己活过。 第二篇、自然科学科研型文章 研究的主要目的在于探究人类大脑如何区分现实和虚拟(广告/小说人物/童话)信息。 研究者呈现给受试者不同的场景:一,广播听到或报纸阅读到关于布什(总统)和灰姑娘,二,跟总统或跟灰姑娘共进晚餐。然后利用MRL 研究他们大脑不同区域的活跃度。 现实和虚拟信息都会激起大脑某些区域比如管记忆的海马沟。不同的是,现实信息还会激起独特的一个脑区域,这个脑区域跟短时记忆和注意力有关。一直相对,虚拟的信息会激起一个跟语言相关的脑区域。 研究者后来又在另一拨受试者重复了实验,这次根据跟受试者现实相关的程度设置信息。结果还是成立,研究者进一步拓展,现实和虚拟其实跟不在于人物本身的现实程度,更跟信息与受试者现实生活的相关度有关。 第三篇自然科学文章 讲述野猫到家猫的变化,研究其中的基因变化过程。 通过对比22种家猫和4种夜猫的基因组,科学家发现13种基因组发生变化,就是这些变化导致夜猫可以被驯化。 在文章后来提到了,家猫身上的一些细胞有迁移变化的现象。也就是经过了所谓的基因突变,这个改变会对猫的性情产生比较大的影响,让猫变得容易驯化。 最后,在文章的结尾处提问为什么相比猫,狗更容易被驯化。是因为人在驯化狗之前做了狗的筛选,筛选出类易于被驯化的狗,而猫则不是。 第四篇:历史类双篇文章

2014年1月SAT语法真题及答案解析

section 5 1. Whileplaying in the park one morning,aloud argument was gotten into by several of the children over the use ofswings. (A) aloud argument was gotten into by several of the children (B) aloud argument between several of the children was gotten into (C) anda loud argument gotten into by several of the children (D) severalof the children getting into a loud argument (E) severalof the children got into a loud argument 答案:E 类型:逻辑主语。 解析:句子是doing形式的状语+主句的结构。在语法中,前置doing做非谓语时,doing 动作的逻辑主语必须是句子主语,play这个动作的发出者应该是人,所以句子主语只能是人。由此排除ABC三个选项。D选项中,getting into不能做谓语动词,属于句子成分缺失。 2. Vitamin D,which the body needs in order to absorb calcium,is produced when skinis exposed to ultraviolet rays. (A) calcium,is produced (B) calcium,and is produced (C) calcium,producing it (D) calciumand produces (E) calciumand produces it 答案:A 类型:句子结构。 解析:句子的主语是维他命D,which引导定语从句做主语的同位语,那么之后必然有句子的谓语动词。因此A选项是正确的。B中and使用错误,and并列成分并不是两个动词。C 选项导致主句无谓语动词。DE选项and并列的是定语从句的谓语动词,那么主语维他命D 就没有谓语动词了,因此也是错误的。 3. Designing a computer monitor requires notonly an understanding of electromagnetism,chemistry,andthe psychology of human vision. (A) notonly an understanding of (B) bothan understanding of (C) anunderstanding of not only (D) anunderstanding of both (E) anunderstanding of 答案:E 类型:平行结构 解析:题目中平行的结构是electromagnetism,chemistry和the psychology of humanvision。AC选项可以直接排除,因为only only和and不能连用。题目是三个名词的并列,因此both…and…这个短语也使用不恰当。BD也可以排除。

If one heartbeat occurs in one period of the function p, how manyheartbeats would occur in a minute? 题目的难点不仅在于涉及的三角函数周期问题,还在于英文句子的理解。函数p表示的是一个静养的病人在t秒钟的时候的血压。(可以感觉到他的血压是周期性地上下波动的,所以才有一个正弦在表达式里)。如果函数p的一个周期内(病人)心脏跳动一次,那么一分钟(病人)心脏跳动几次? 要知道病人心脏一分钟跳动几次,我们得知道函数p的一个周期是多长。y=sinx函数的周期为2pi,而y=sin ax的周期为2pi/a,所以题目的函数的周期应该是1(秒),所以一分钟跳动60下。 有人在两个fairdice(就是六面都一样大的正方体骰子)上分别画上(1,1,2,2,2,2)和(1,2,2,2,2,2)的点数。If someone throws the two dices, what is thepossibility of getting a 1 and a 2, with either order?

2006年1月SAT真题语法解析

2006年1月SAT真题语法解析 Section 3 1. 答案:D。 图书馆比(它)更老,但却和这个法院一样漂亮。 审题:原句A,it出现在指代对象courthouse之前,引起误解。 排错:C、E——同一句话两个it指代不同事物,排除。 比较:B D更简洁,而且能不用代词就不用代词。 2.答案:C。 审题:从句子大意看,应该是花费27年去画画,固定搭配spend some time doing sth. 选优:选C。 3.答案:A。 审题:显然,是high levels of nitrogen可以杀死动植物,后半句叙述对象为前半句的最后一个词组,用定语从句连接是最有效连接。 选优:A。 4.答案:E。 这道题有点难度,因为句子结构不易分析。“当新金矿如何被发现的消息在N,A传播的时候,数千人遗弃(abandon)了D,之前的金矿。”thousand是后半句的主语,abandon是谓语,看懂这个就没问题了。 审题:从语意上看,显然金矿“如何”被发现跟淘金者没有一毛钱关系。所以how没有存在的意义。 排错:B there be 结构 C、D they指代错误,并且代词本身就是垃圾 比较:A E淘金者更关心金矿被发现的事实,另外news about sth.也是一个固定搭配。 5.答案:C。 审题:that不能指代前半句,“到柏林去庆祝”显然“去庆祝”是目的状语,用to do. 选优:C。 6.答案:B。

审题:平行结构,…,…,and___典型标志,前两个均为one+名词。 选优:B。 7.答案:E。 审题:one’s代词的数,前文只出现了复数名词,而且one’s表泛指而不表特指。 排错:因此排除A、B。 排除C:逗号直接连接独立分句,代词过多。 排除D:“Zookeeper…expanding”“主语+分词型”句子不完整。 8.答案:C。 审题:A,主谓一致有问题,“A and B”复数概念,应搭配are。 排错:A主谓一致。 排除B:语序不正常——for such a large event位置不好,另外,them垃圾。 排除E:无谓倒装。 比较:C be subject to这个短语,to是介词,后面加名词,表示“受…支配和决定”。 D are subject to be approved…这里to成了不定式符号,错了。 9.答案:A。 审题:主谓间插入语,考察句子完整性,能看出borders这里作谓语动词就OK了。 排错:B、C、D分别犯了句子完整性的三大错误。“主+分词”“主谓间有连词”“主+从句”。排除E:系表<实意动词,being垃圾。 10.答案:E。 审题:这是一个诡异结构,很显然,原句就想表达一个“像,如”的意思,用like。注意,as是表示“作为”,也就是说as后面的名词和句子主语是相同事物,这里显然不是。 选优:E。 11.答案:C。 审题:平行结构标志词not just…but also。连接的成分是名词词组。 选优:C,只有C是名词词组。 12.B 形容词的级,双重比较级。 13.E 这道题A、B考察了主谓一致,D还小小的考察了means的数的问题,需注意。 14.C 主谓一致——Prime Minister…have argued

2009年1月SAT真题全解析

2009年1月SAT真题全解析 阅读 Section 3 1.冒号引导解释关系,前后句意应?致。后半部分说包含各种艺术形式,于是前半部分也应如此,因此答案选E(多样的)。 2. Rather than引导对立关系,前后内容应相反;句子后半部分and引导并列关系,前后意思应?致,因此第?空填不应被支配,第二空填应被支配。答案选B(平等的……服从的)。 3.动词的现在分词做状语表因果关系,前半部分说冷静,因此后半部分也为冷静。答案选D(从容不迫) 4. Opposed to表对立关系,前后内容相反,因此第?空填晦涩。直截了当的写作写出来的内容必定也直截了当,因此第二空填清晰。选C(晦涩……清晰) 5.动词的现在分词作状语表因果关系,前后等价,同时两空格后面importance 和value为同义词,因此两空填相同方向的词。选B(支持……最高的) 6 D 文章开篇的第一句话就提到了"Your life may very well depend on a fish",后文也在反复提及到menhaden的重要性。 7 E 引言中运用到了Just as,这是非常明显的类比。 8 A 定位到的句子中所进行到的描述为"...Black artists should follow the prevailing style of mainstream Europe and America in order to gain full acceptance in the art world." 直接从这句话中可以看出他们认为应当遵循既定的主流形式从而获得艺术界的认同。A中的secure在这里的词义为获得。 9 D 文中定位到的内容中进行的描述为"began to explore Africa in her paintings",那么Jones参与到这件争论只能与在画中体现Africa有关。 10 D 文中的"some...while others..."这是非常明显的两种观点的对比。 11 E 文中的描述"Scientists' testimonies are used to endorse everything from toothpaste to nuclear power"指出这些事情都是与科学家有关,注意D 选项中的mundane activities是不应该包含nuclear power的。 12 D 与文中的"is not to be sneered at"直接做出同义替换。

SECTION 7 The passages below are followed by questions based on their content; questions following a pair of related passages may also be based on the relationship between the paired passages. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided. Questions 9-11 are based on the following passages. Passage 1 Caves have always haunted the imagination. The ancient Greeks shuddered at tales of Cerberus, the three-headed dog guarding the entrance to Hades, and countless legends and Hollywood fantasies include a spine-tingling staple: unknown creatures lurking in the next claustrophobic corridor, hungry and waiting for visitors. Now it turns out that bizarre, voracious denizens of the underworld arc not wholly imaginary. Biologists slithering into ever deeper, tighter recesses are coming face-to-face with a fast-growing list of cave-dwelling spiders, centipedes, leeches, mites, scorpions, beetles, fish, snails, worms, and salamanders, along with thick beds of bacteria and fungi that sometimes make a living off the very rocks. Passage 2 Five hundred feet below the bright-green rain forest, my fellow cave diver slips into the dark-green waters of a Hooded cave passage called Tunkul Sump. Loaded with lights and two scuba tanks, he unreels a thin white nylon cord, his lifeline back from the unexplored passage. I sit near the sump and wait. It's April 30. 1999. my sixth expedition to the Chiquibul cave system in Belize and Guatemala. On each trip Heel I'm opening books in an underground library that has preserved records of dramatic climate change over time, of the lives of the ancient Maya who once used these caves, and of numerous animal species, living and extinct. 9. Both Passage 1 and Passage 2 indicate that caves are home to (A) fossilized remains (B) sedimentary rocks (C) mythological creatures (D) ancient human artifacts (E) multiple animal species 10. The authors of both passages would most likely agree that caves (A) were left unexplored due to the dangers involved (B) are threatened by excessive exploration (C) continue to yield new discoveries (D) provide information about ancient civilizations (E) fuel people's fears about the underworld 11. The last sentence of Passage 2 serves primarily to (A) show the extent to which the climate of the area has changed
