2013考研英语试题及解析【3】Some powers do belong exclusively to the federal government, and control of citizenship and the borders is among them. But if Congress wanted to prevent states from using their own resources to check immigration status, it could. It never did so. The administration was in essence asserting that because it didn’t want to carry out Congress’s immigration wishes, no state should be allowed to do so either. Every Justice rightly rejected this remarkable claim.36. Three provisions of Arizona’s plan were overturned because they[A] deprived the federal police of Constitutional powers.[B] disturbed the power balance between different states.[C] overstepped the authority of federal immigration law.[D] contradicted both the federal and state policies.37. On which of the following did the Justices agree, according to Paragraph4?[A] Federal officers’ duty to withhold immigrants’ information.[B] States’ independence from fed eral immigration law.[C] States’ legitimate role in immigration enforcement.[D] Congress’s intervention in immigration enforcement.38. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that the Alien and Sedition Acts[A] violated the Constitution.[B] undermined the states’ interests.[C] supported the federal statute.[D] stood in favor of the states.39. The White House claims that its power of enforcement[A] outweighs that held by the states.[B] is dependent on the states’ support.[C] is established by federal statutes.[D] rarely goes against state laws.40. What can be learned from the last paragraph?[A] Immigration issues are usually decided by Congress.[B] Justices intended to check the power of the Administration.[C] Justices wanted to strengthen its coordination with Congress.[D] The Administration is dominant over immigration issues.答案:36- CCDAD答案详解:36.标准答案: C考点分析:此题考查考生对文章细节信息的把握能力选项分析:根据题干中的关键词 three provisions of Arizona定位到文中第二段。

Those who advocate globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses. For instance , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in local open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.
那些主张支持全球化的人(主张0宣称发展中国家的经济将受益于那些给小企业和家庭企业的新机 会。例如,巴西的小农户生产坚果,最初只在当地露天市场销售,现在可以在世界范围内通过网络促销
! 他们的产品。
Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually widening the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually profited from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind. Furthermore , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to export their products may soon face fierce competition that could put them out of business . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like WalMart move in, these small businesses will not be able to keep up and will be crowded out.

2013 Contest ProblemsMCM PROBLEMSPROBLEM A: The Ultimate Brownie PanWhen baking in a rectangular pan heat is concentrated in the 4 corners and the product gets overcooked at the corners (and to a lesser extent at the edges). In a round pan the heat is distributed evenly over the entire outer edge and the product is not overcooked at the edges。

以一共是有 2、25、5、10 这 4 个。
词汇: Formulate 构想出 petition 祈求
15.A line27-41 讲的是 musicians 对 salsa 这种称谓的态度变 化,也就是 evolution。D 项可能成为错误选项,这与文章主旨相联 系。文章主要讲的是 salsa 的变化,重点不是 musician。而且注意 pay tribute to 的意思是朝贡,赞扬。很明显作者没有这种情感。 词汇: Anecdote 秘史 virtuoso 艺术大师 simultaneous 同时发 生的 digression 离题
Section 5 1.D 这里的考点是固定搭配和平行结构,前面是 not only as, 所以后面对应的应该是 but also as,即是 D 选项。
2.C
首先这里考到了逻辑主语,发出 hope 这个动作的只能是
人,所以排除 D 和 E 选项。而 A 和 B 选项都缺谓语,所以答案是 C 选 项。
是 commonest。
13.C 这句话缺谓语动词,indicating 应该改成 indicates。
14.C 这里有考到固定搭配,opposite 后面的介词一般是 to。
15.B
这里考的是倒装句的主谓一致,逗号后这部分的主语是
ornaments,所以 was 要改成 were。
16.D 这里考的是时态, 从 yesterday、 heard、 was 和 expressed 这些词可以看出应该是过去时,所以这里要改成 began。
21.A
对 irony 的 解 释 就 在 原 文 中 : A 中 results 对 应 8

sumptuous volumes published。Lavishly showcased 对应 paid for by JP Morgan。词汇: straiten 使穷困 criteria 标准 lavishly 非常大方地
7.D
这里考到了句子间的逻辑,前后两部分对于那些传播媒介
的看法是相反的,所以用 although 很清晰地表达出来,答案是 D 选 项。
8.B 这里就是考的时态,因为时间是 late 1830s,所以应该用 过去式,直接选择 B 选项。
9.D 这里的考点也是逻辑主语, 能发出 unable 这个动作的也只 能是人,所以直接选择 D 选项。
19.E 对文段进行归纳可以得知: 这些是讲 Hatcher 在专注科学 之前的生活状态, 对应 E。 词汇: versatility 多才多艺 exemplary 典型的
20.C 文章说 hatcher 所有的经费都是自己掏钱, 所以是一种奉 献。请大家注意区分奉献与慷慨的概念。不要误选 B。词汇: dedication 奉献
22.E 这句话就是对其他 scientist 的激励,对应 exhortation 相 当 于 urge 。 词 汇 : speculation 思 考 paradox 悖论 exhortation 敦促 retraction 收 回
23.B 这句话是倒装句 所以理解起来比较困难。 中心意思是说: Hatcher 自己得到这种支持比 Morgan 后来的捐赠要好的多。这就对 应 B 项 , 因 为 对 Hatcher 的 支 持 实 质 上 是 在 初 期 阶 段 , 也 就 是 uncertain 的时候。词汇: impede 阻碍
10.B 首先 but 是连词,后面应该接完整句,所以排除 E 选项。 而 begin 后面应该搭配 to do 不定式, 也可以排除 A 和 D 选项。 begin 后面跟的有 compose 和 serve 这两个动词,且用 and 连接,所以这里 又考到了平行结构,所以答案是 B 选项。

4 本文章由尚友原创或整理
12.B 寻找相似点的题目, 文中的 musicians 与一种新的乐风有 关系并努力发展这种 genre,却不知道他们的 genre 叫做 salsa,与 B 对应,B 中的 painters share novel techniques 与 innovate 对 应,particular style 与 salsa 对应。词汇: regimen 养生之道
11.C 首先这句话里, 逗号前面的部分是同位语, 修饰的是主语。 看到前面描述的是 a town,所以能做主语的只能是 Banff,排除 A、 B 和 E 选项。而 D 选项不能构成完整句,所以最后选择 C 选项。
12.B
这里考的是形容词最高级的形式,common 的最高级应该
24.E 这个题目联系后面的文字, 说在研究初期也要给 funding, 说明作者认为无论结果是什么,都要值得一试。这与 E 恰恰相反。 词 汇: undue 过度的
Section 3 15.120 根据题目可知,四人桌和六人桌的数量是相同的,但六 人桌需要两张桌子拼成, 所以四人桌和六人桌分别需要的单张桌子的 数量是 12 和 24,总人数就是 12×4+24÷2×6=120。
17.B
主旨题 可以用排除法。作者文章的重点在 research
funding 上,所以排ቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱ ADE。但是文章中并没有出现明确的寻求 funding 的 方 法 , 所 以 只 能 选 择 B 。 词 汇 : philanthropist 慈善家 decry 谴 责
18.C line5-8 是对比 the haves 和 the have-nots 的状态, 并 不存在任何个人情感,态度中立。词汇: bewilder 使迷惑

Section2 1.A 通过 ongoing loss of habitat 确定选择 threatened,
受到威胁。 词汇:Mongolian 蒙古人 gazelle 瞪羚 herbivore 食 草动物
2.B
根据逻辑推断这些 communities 是与人类学家合作,所以 fraternize 与...结识
4.E call forth 与 evocation 同意互换。 词汇:ingratiation 逢迎 hyperbole <语>夸张法 polemic 争论 predilection 偏爱
evocation 唤出

5.A 首先 effort 后面搭配的介词应该是 to,可以排除 B、C 和 E 选项。而 D 选项缺连词,所以答案是 A 选项。
6.E 这里考的是修饰歧义。in a yellow helmet 应该修饰的是 contractor,但却被放在 building 后面,所以应该提前,答案是 E 选项。
8.E 定位到 line4 5 by accepting the job...I had snatched my security。 得到安全感,并且前文中 sold out 暗示作者没有钱。 与 E 对应。词汇: squelch 压制
9.E had not played square 与 no good soothing 等否定词表 示作者对卖掉画的后悔。词汇: reverent 恭敬的 傲慢的 condescending
17.C 这里 it 的指代单复数有问题,原句想说的是 computers, 所以应该用 they。
3.D 这道题从选项下手比较容易。B 选项 but 后面为非完整句, C 选项中的 despite 是介词不是连词,E 选项缺连词,所以这三个选 项排除。而 A 选项使用被动语态,比较起来 D 选项的主动更好,所以 最后选择 D 选项。
4.E 这题也是直接看到选项。A 和 B 选项中的 they 没有指代对 象, C 和 D 选项都不能使句子成为完整句, 所以答案是 E, 这里用 dreams 替代了 they。
