①Cheques have 1 replaced money as a means of exchange for they are widely accepted everywhere. ②Though this is very convenient for both buyer and seller, it should not be forgotten that cheques are not real money: they are quite valueless in themselves. ③A shop-keeper always runs a certain 2 when he accepts a cheque and he is quite 3 his rights if on occasion, he refuses to do so. ④People do not always know this and are shocked if their good faith is called 4 . ⑤An old and very wealthy friend of mine told me he had an extremely unpleasant experience. ⑥He went to a famous jewelry shop which keeps a large 5 of precious stones and asked to be shown some pearl necklaces. ⑦After examining several trays, he decided to buy a particularly fine string of pearls and asked if he could pay by Cheques. ⑧The assistant said that this was quite 6 but the moment my friend signed his name, he was invited into the manager’s office. ⑨The manager was very polite, but he explained that someone with exactly the same name had presented them with a worthless Cheque not long ago. ⑩My friend got very angry when he heard this and said he would buy a necklace somewhere else. ○11When he got up to go, the manager told him that the police would arrive at any moment and he had better stay 7 he wanted to get into serious trouble. ○12 8 , the police arrived soon afterwards. ○13They apologized to my friend for the 9 , but explained that a person who had used the same name as his was responsible for a number of recent robberies. ○14Then the police asked my friend to copy out a note which had been used by the thief in a number of shops. ○15The note 10 : “I have a gun in my pocket.

1. ［A］ exactly ［B］ really ［C］ largely ［D］ thoroughly 2. ［A］ danger ［B］ chance ［C］ risk ［D］ opportunity 3. ［A］ within ［B］ beyond ［C］ without ［D］ out of 4. ［A］ in difficulty ［B］ in doubt ［C］ in earnest ［D］ in question 5. ［A］ amount ［B］ stock ［C］ number ［D］ store 6. ［A］ in order ［B］ in need ［C］ in use ［D］ in common 7. ［A］ whether ［B］ if ［C］ otherwise ［D］ unless 8. ［A］ Really ［B］ Sure enough ［C］ Certainly ［D］ However 9. ［A］ treatment ［B］ manner ［C］ inconvenience ［D］ behaviour 10.［A］ read ［B］ told ［C］ wrote ［D］ informed
一、文章结构分析 本文记述了一位老者一次用支票支付的经历。 第一段总说，介绍支票的广泛使用及使用中存在的问题：本身并无价值，因此店员有时会拒绝接受支票。 第二至三段具体讲述了一次支票支付的经历。第二段介绍人物、事情发生的地点及起因。第三段记叙了事情的发展及结尾。
二、试题具体分析 1．［A］ exactly确切地，精确地 ［B］ really事实上；确实，的确 ［C］ largely在很大程度上，主要地 ［D］ thoroughly非常，完全；仔细，缜密 本题考核的知识点是：常识+副词辨析。 ［快速解题］空格所在的句子是全文首句，基本结构完整，句意清楚。因此，考生关键要判断哪个副词代入文中符合逻辑语义。根据常识，“支票已经确切地、事实上或完全取代了现金”均不符合事实逻辑，只有largely代入文中强调“支票在很大程度上取代现金”符合逻辑，因此[C]为正确选项。 ［篇章分析］第一段介绍故事发生的背景。①②句是全文引子。①句指出支票已成为普及的付款手段的事实，②③句转折指出支票付款存在的问题及带来的结果：有时店员可能不接受支票付款。 ［空格设置］本题考查句中做状语的程度副词largely，例句：He resigned largely because of the stories in the press.他的辞职多半是因为新闻界的一些报道。 ［干扰项设置］其他项都是常用副词，且thoroughly也是程度副词。例句：I know exactly how she felt.我完全清楚她的感受。Tell me what really happened.告诉我究竟发生了什么事。Now I really must go.我确实得走了。I’m thoroughly confused.我完全给搞糊涂了。The work had not been done very thoroughly.这工作做得不太认真。 2. ［A］ danger危险，危害 ［B］ chance可能性；机会，时机；风险 ［C］ risk危险，风险 ［D］ opportunity时机，机会 本题考核的知识点是：固定搭配。 ［快速解题］上文说支票并非真正的钱（not real money），本身是没有价值的（valueless）。本句紧接着指出当店员接受支票时，他总是在……。根据逻辑，既然支票无价值，那么接受支票付款应当“存在风险性”，上下两句间暗含着因果的逻辑关系。空格处填入的名词做runs的宾语，runs a certain 2 即应表示店员“冒险”的含义。选项中，只有risk可以与run搭配，run the risk (of doing sth)/run risks表示“冒……的危险，冒险（做某事）”，符合文意。其他项或不符合文中搭配，或不符合文意，应排除。 ［篇章分析］③句是过渡句，由上文泛泛而谈支票支付的问题具体到在商店购物时使用支票的情况，并引出下文两段关于此的一次具体经历的讲述。 ［空格设置］本题考查了risk的固定动宾搭配。例句：Investment is all about running risks.投资就是要冒风险。We don’t want to run the risk of losing their business.我们不想冒险失去他们的生意。其他包含risk的表示“冒险”的搭配还有at the risk of doing sth冒着……的风险，at risk to sb/sth冒伤及……的危险，take a risk/take risks（to do sth）冒险（做某事）。 ［干扰项设置］其他项都是常用名词。其中，danger构成对risk的近义干扰，chance与opportunity近义，构成对risk的反义干扰。danger常做不可数名词，如：in/out of danger处于危险中/脱离危险，当表示“危险，坏事发生的可能性”时可用作可数或不可数，后面必须接of sth或that同位语从句进行修饰，如：There is a danger that the political disorder of the past will return.昔日的政治动乱现在有可能重演。chance常表示希望发生的事的可能性，如：There is no chance that he will change his mind.他不可能改变主意。它还与opportunity近义，表示“时机”，如：You’ll have the chance/opportunity to ask any questions at the end.你们最后

Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Put your choice in the brackets on the left. (10 points) Text 1There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not knowtoo much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists.” And these “generalists” are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people?s work, to begin it and judge it.The special ist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained” man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist -- and especially the administrator -- deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated” man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you -- but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.26. There is an increasing demand for ________.[A] all round people in their own fields[B] people whose job is to orga nize other people?s work[C] generalists whose educational background is eithertechnical or professional[D] specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others27. The specialist is ________.[A] a man whose job is to train other people[B] a man who has been trained in more than one fields[C] a man who can see the forest rather than the trees[D] a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters28. The administrator is ________.[A] a “trained” man who is more a specialist than a generalist[B] a man who sees the trees as well as the forest[C] a man who is very strong in the humanities[D] a man who is an “educated” specialist29. During your training period, it is important ________.[A] to try to be a generalist[B] to choose a profitable job[C] to find an organization which fits you[D] to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist30. A man?s first job ________.[A] is never the right job for him[B] should not be regarded as his final job[C] should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job[D] is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobTest 2At the bottom of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and, until recent times, unknown to man.It is a great land mass with mountain ranges whose extent and elevation are still uncertain. Much of the continent is a complete blank on our maps. Man has explored, on foot, less than one per cent of its area. Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions. The Arctic is an ocean, covered with drifting packed ice and hemmed in by the land masses of Europe, Asia, and North America. The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia combined, centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed water areas of the world -- the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.The continental ice sheet is more than two miles high in its centre, thus, the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated than it is over the Arctic regions. This cold air current from the land is so forceful that it makes the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and renders unlivable those regions whose counterparts at the opposite end of the globe are inhabited. Thus, more than a million persons live within 2,000 miles of the North Pole in an area that includes most of Alaska, Siberia, and Scandinavia -- a region rich in forest and mining industries. Apart from a handful of weather stations, within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a single tree, industry, or settlement.31. The best title for this selection would be ________.[A] Iceland[B] Land of Opportunity[C] The Unknown Continent[D] Utopia at Last32. At the time this article was written, our knowledge of Antarctica was ________.[A] very limited[B] vast[C] fairly rich[D] nonexistent33. Antarctica is bordered by the ________.[A] Pacific Ocean[B] Indian Ocean[C] Atlantic Ocean[D] All three34. The Antarctic is made uninhabitable primarily by ________.[A] cold air[B] calm seas[C] ice[D] lack of knowledge about the continent35. According to this article ________.[A] 2,000 people live on the Antarctic Continent[B] a million people live within 2,000 miles of the South Pole[C] weather conditions within a 2,000 mile radius of the South Pole make settlements impractical[D] only a handful of natives inhabit AntarcticaSection IV: Structure and V ocabularyFill in the blanks with the words which best complete the sentences.

1986—1997年历年考研英语真题答案解析合集
1986年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语试题答案与解析Section I Close Test一、文章结构分析本文记叙了一位女士一次购物的经历。
第一段总述文中主人公Annie每周三下午都进城购物。
二至四段具体讲述了她某一次的购物经历。
二、试题具体分析1.［A］so这么，那么［B］more更多［C］else其他的，别的［D］another另外一个本题考核的知识点是：固定搭配+副词用法。
［快速解题］空格所在部分For an hour or1是句子的时间状语，考生要判断选项中哪个副词代入能符合这一结构并使文意通顺。
…or so是固定搭配，用在数字之后，表示“…左右，…上下”，for an hour or so指“一个小时左右”，说明了时间，符合文意。
因此选［A］so。
［篇章分析］文章第①句总说，交待人物（Annie）、时间（每周三下午）、地点（城镇）、活动内容（购物）。
②③具体讲述活动内容：首先购买所需物品（②句），然后到家具店“橱窗购物”（③句）。
句间通过On Wednesday afternoons —For an hour or so—And then—another hour时间链条，in the market—up and down between the stalls—（leave the market）for the streets—furniture shop地点链条实现衔接。
［空格设置］此处考查so用作副词的一个惯用语…or so，表示约指，例句：There were20people or so there.那儿差不多有20个人。
［干扰项设置］其他项都是常用的副词。
else用于疑问句或nothing，something，everybody等之后，如：What else did he say?他还说了些什么？or else意为“要不然，否则”，是连词词组，引导句子，如：Hurry up or else you’ll be late.快点，否则你就要迟到了。
考研英语1996-97年真题解析范文
96年试题精解Part ⅠCloze Test一、文章总体分析本文是一篇介绍维生素的科普性小短文。
文章首段对维生素下定义。
第二段介绍了维生素的两大功能：将食物转化成能量和维持身体健康。
第三段介绍了各种维生素的异同：基本组成元素相同，但排列方式不同，并且各自承担一到多种特殊功能。
第四段指出：不需要获取过量的维生素，均衡的饮食通常就可以完全满足身体对它们的需求了。
二、试题具体解析1.［A］either ［B］so ［C］nor ［D］never［精解］本题考核的知识点是：否定倒装句的连词。
空格前文讲到维生素不能提供能量，是一个否定句；后文讲到它们构建身体的任何部分，是倒装句，因此选项必须既能引导倒装句，又能与前面的否定相呼应。
四个选项中，either表示“也”，可以用在否定句中，但一般放在句尾，例如：She didn’t go there, either（她也不去）；so 可以引导倒装句，但它用在肯定句中，表示“也”，如：They can leave now, so can we.（他们现在可以离开了，我们也能）。
nor也可以引导倒装句，并可用在否定句中，构成not...nor...（既不…也不…）固定结构，如：You can’t do it, nor can I.（你不能做这件事，我也不能）；never也可以引导倒装句，表示否定，但它必须放在句首，如：Never in my life have I heard such nonsense.（我一辈子都没听说过这样的无稽之谈）。
综合以上因素，C为正确选项。
2.［A］shifting替换，转移［B］transferring迁移，移动，传递［C］altering改变，变动［D］transforming转换，改变［精解］本题考核的知识点是：习惯搭配+ 动词词义辨析。
空格所在句子的含义是“需要维生素将食物2为能量，以维持身体的健康”。
空格填入的分词需和into搭配，并符合文意。

1987考研英语阅读理解
1987年全国硕士生入学统一考试英语试题Text 1There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists.”And these “generalists”are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people’s work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained”man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist -- and especially the administrator -- deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated”man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you -- but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.26. There is an increasing demand for ________.[A] all round people in their own fields[B] people whose job is to organize other people’s work[C] generalists whose educational background is either technical or professional[D] specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others27. The specialist is ________.[A] a man whose job is to train other people[B] a man who has been trained in more than one fields[C] a man who can see the forest rather than the trees[D] a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters28. The administrator is ________.[A] a “trained”man who is more a specialist than a generalist[B] a man who sees the trees as well as the forest[C] a man who is very strong in the humanities[D] a man who is an “educated”specialist29. During your training period, it is important ________.[A] to try to be a generalist[B] to choose a profitable job[C] to find an organization which fits you[D] to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist30. A man’s first job ________.[A] is never the right job for him[B] should not be regarded as his final job[C] should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job[D] is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobText 2At the bottom of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and, until recent times, unknown to man. It is a great land mass with mountain ranges whose extent and elevation are still uncertain. Much of the continent is a complete blank on our maps. Man has explored, on foot, less than one per cent of its area. Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions. The Arctic is an ocean, covered with drifting packed ice and hemmed in by the land masses of Europe, Asia, and North America. The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia combined, centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed water areas of the world -- the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.The continental ice sheet is more than two miles high in its centre, thus, the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated than it is over the Arctic regions. This cold air current from the land is so forceful that it makes the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and renders unlivable those regions whose counterparts at the opposite end of the globe are inhabited. Thus, more than a million persons live within 2,000 miles of the North Pole in an area that includes most of Alaska, Siberia, and Scandinavia -- a region rich in forest and mining industries. Apart from a handful of weather stations, within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a single tree, industry, or settlement.31. The best title for this selection would be ________.[A] Iceland [B] Land of Opportunity[C] The Unknown Continent [D] Utopia at Last32. At the time this article was written, our knowledge of Antarctica was ________.[A] very limited [B] vast[C] fairly rich [D] nonexistent33. Antarctica is bordered by the ________.[A] Pacific Ocean [B] Indian Ocean[C] Atlantic Ocean [D] All three34. The Antarctic is made uninhabitable primarily by ________.[A] cold air [B] calm seas[C] ice [D] lack of knowledge about the continent35. According to this article ________.[A] 2,000 people live on the Antarctic Continent[B] a million people live within 2,000 miles of the South Pole[C] weather conditions within a 2,000 mile radius of the South Pole make settlements impractical[D] only a handful of natives inhabit Antarctica[C] details such as the time were not recorded in the past[D] they are much worse20. Nowadays, the athletes’expenses are paid for ________.[A] out of the prize money of the winners[B] out of the funds raised by the competing nations[C] by the athletes themselves[D] by contributionsText 3In science the meaning of the word “explain”suffers with civilization’s every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first looked into the nature of the electrification of amber, a hard yellowish-brown gum. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces “really”are. “Electricity,”Bertrand Russell says, “is not a thing, like St. Paul’s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell.”Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because that’s where they belong, and smoke goes up because that’s where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.21. The aim of controlled scientific experiments is ________.[A] to explain why things happen[B] to explain how things happen[C] to describe self-evident principles[D] to support Aristotelian science22. What principles most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years?[A] the speculations of Thales[B] the forces of electricity, magnetism, and gravity[C] Aristotle’s natural science[D] Galileo’s discoveries23. Bertrand Russell’s notion about electricity is ________.[A] disapproved of by most modern scientists[B] in agreement with Aristotle’s theory of self-evident principles[C] in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “how”things happen[D] in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “why”things happen24. The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea ________.[A] that there are mysterious forces in the universe[B] that man cannot discover what forces “really”are[C] that there are self-evident principles[D] that we can discover why things behave as they do25. Modern science came into being ________.[A] when the method of controlled experiment was fir st introduced[B] when Galileo succeeded in explaining how things happen[C] when Aristotelian scientist tried to explain why things happen[D] when scientists were able to acquire an understanding of reality of reasoning。
