1.【答案】 A

【解析】根据下一句及随后的内容,作者讲的是怎样成为动物爱好者的(从小就喜欢动

物),应当选择 A.how。

2.【答案】 C

【解析】in the first place是固定短语,意思是“首先”。此句意思是:别人经常问到的问

题之一,是当初我是如何爱上动物的。

3.【答案】 A

【解析】这句话的意思是:作者在呀呀学语之时,最早发清楚的音是“zoo”(动物园),而不是“妈妈”,“爸爸”,因此,应选clarity“清晰”。填入其他选项emotion (感情),sentiment(多愁善感),affection(友爱)不合逻辑。

4.【答案】 B

【解析】but在此处连接另一个句子(it was the word“zoo”,“it was”被省略),表示转折,意为“而是”,Except,except for,but for的用法接近,表示“除了……”。

例如:

We go there every day except Sunday.

He answered all the questions except for the last one.

For a year the dam remained complete but for the generators.

从意思上,逻辑上,都应当选but。

5.【答案】 D

【解析】根据后面的over and over again,应选“repeat”

8.【答案】 A

【解析】根据后面主句的时态,此处只能用一般过去时。

9.【答案】 C

【解析】a great many后直接跟可数名词的复数形式; a great / large amount of后跟不可数名词;只有 a great /large number of后可以跟可数名词的复数形式。

例如:

I read a great many English books.

A large amount of money is spent on tobacco every year.

A great number of civilians were murdered in cold blood.

10.【答案】 D

【解析】living后必须接介词in,意为“居住”;cultivating耕种;reclaiming开垦;只有exploring有探察的意思。

11.【答案】 C

【解析】add to相当于increase,增加。其余选项后面都不接to。

12.【答案】 A

【解析】later on为固定短语,“后来”。

13.【答案】 D

【解析】attendant仆人;keeper可理解为“饲养员”,但是 a student keeper容易被误解为“收留学生的人”;aide有“助手”之义。作者一边上学,一边在动物园里打工,只能当

助手。

14.【答案】 D

【解析】which在此引导定语从句,修饰前面列出的动物。

15.【答案】 D

【解析】因为钱是在动物园打工挣的,选successfully更能体现其含义。

16.【答案】 D

【解析】finance my first trip意为“支付我的旅行

费用”;pay后应接介词for;其他选项的意思相差甚远。

17.【答案】 B

【解析】此句为现在完成进行时态,选regularly比较贴切。

18.【答案】 D

【解析】此句是由though引导的让步状语从句,应与主句意思相对立。选项中,sorrows 和disappointments与主句的appeal to相对立,但sorrows的分量太重。

19.【答案】 C

【解析】appeal to为成语,意思是“吸引”。

20.【答案】 B

【解析】excursion短途旅行;journey(从一地到另一地的)长距离,具体的旅途;travel 旅行,旅游,海外旅行;trip旅行,远足。

The distinction was a prominent feature of early theories (31) the phases of matter. In the nineteenth century, for example, one theory maintained that a liquid could be "dissolved" in a vapor without losing its identity, and another theory held that the two phases are( 32 )different kinds o f molecules(分子).

They are both forms of matter that have no permanent structure and they both flow ea silly. They are fluids. The( 34 )similarly of liquids and gases becomes clearly apparent when the temperature and pressure are raised somewhat.(35) A closed container partially filled with a liquid is heated. The liquid expands or (36) becomes less dense; some of it evaporates. (37), the vapor above the liquid surface becomes dense r as the evaporated molecules are added to it.

2013英语专业四级真题语法、完型填空题及解析 【完形填空原文】 Everyone knows that taxation is necessary in a modern state: Without it, it would not be possible to pay the soldiers and policemen who protect us;nor the workers in government offices who look after our health, our food, our water, and all the other things that we cannot do for ourselves;nor the ministers and members of parliament(国会) who govern the country for us. By means of taxation, we pay for things that we need just as much as we need somewhere to live and something to eat. But everyone knows that taxation is necessary, different people have different ideas about how taxation should be arranged. Should each person have to pay a certain amount of money to the government each year? Or should there be tax on things that people buy and sell? If the first kind of taxation is used, should everyone pay the same tax, whether he is rich or poor? If the second kind of tax is preferred, should everything be taxed equally? In most countries, a direct tax on persons, which is called income tax, exists. It is arranged in such a way that the poorest people pay nothing, and the percentage of tax grows greater as the taxpayer’s income grows. In England, for example, the tax on the richest people goes up as high as ninety-five percent! But countries with direct taxation nearly always have indirect taxation too. Many things imported into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”. Of course, it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties, in the form of higher prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected, but the poor people suffer most. If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed, less money is got but the tax is fairer, as the rich pay it. Probably this last kind of indirect tax, together with a direct tax on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich, is the best arrangement. 【语法题真题及解析】 51.
