(1).Whichoneofthefollowingyearswasaleapyear?
(分数:
2.00)
A.1880 √
B.1894
C.1906
D.1926
解析:
1880年是闰年,因为1880能被4整除,1894,1906年1926这三个数字均不能被4整除,因此1894年、1906年和1926年均不是闰年。
(2).Whichoneofthefollowingyearswillnotbealeapyear?
(分数:
2.00)
A.2000
B.2024
C.2052
D.3000 √
解析:
2000既能被4整除,又能被400整除。
因此,2000年肯定是闰年。
2024年和2052均能被4整除,因此2024年和2052年均是闰年。
3000虽然能被100整除,但不能被400整除,因此3000年不是闰年。
(3).Howmanyleapyearswilltherebeinthedecadecommencing1January2019?
(分数:
2.00)
A.1
B.2
C.3 √
D.4
解析:
从2019年元月1日开始的10年间有3个闰年。
2020年为第一个闰年,2024年为第二个闰年,2028年为第三个闰年。
(4).Since1582,themaximumnumberofleapyearspossibleinanydecadeis______.(分数:
2.00)
A.2
B.3 √
C.4
D.5
解析:
从1582年起,任何一个10年的闰年的最大数目是3。
做此题可采取排除法,C和D肯定不对。
4年为一个闰年,4个闰年需要16年时间,5个闰年需要20年时间,远远地超过了10年,因此很容易排除。
考生可以这样推理:
20年里必定有5个闰年,其中的一个10年只有两个闰年,另一个10年必定有3个闰年。
因此,从1582年起,任何1个10年的闰年的最小值是2,最大值是3。

2.00)
A.youthfulandcaring
B.unprofessionalandjaded
C.educatedandwidelyread
D.unbiasedandspontaneous √
解析:
温顿希望与没有偏见的、自发的读者建立联系。
答案的依据是第四段最后两句。

2.00)
A.Itisbesttostartwritingwhenyouareyoung.
B.Earningalivingfromwritingrequirespainstakingeffort.
C.Thedecisiontobecomeawriterwascarefullyconsidered.
D.Thedecisiontobecomeawriterwasnotcarefullyconsidered. √
解析:
想当作家的决定未经过深思熟虑。
作者在第五段中说,要是他(指温顿)16岁时知道靠写作谋生是多么的艰难,他就不会着手写作了,这说明他想当作家的决定并未经过认真思考。
B也有一定的迷惑力,但不如D深刻。
换句话说,D包含了B。
(3).Accordingtothelastparagraph,thetransitionfromwritingforanadultaudiencetowritingforayoungeraudienceiseasyforWintonbecause______.(分数:

A.hedeliberatelyadoptsasuitabletone
B.ithashappenedlaterinhiswritingcareer
C.hehaswrittenaboutyoungpeoplebefore √
D.hehasbeenpreparingforthisformuchofhiswritingcareer
解析:
根据最后一段,从为成年人写作过渡到为年轻的读者写作,对温顿来说很容易,因为他以前写过年青人的情况。
答案的依据是最后一段的第一句话。
(4).ThekindoftoneTimWintonaimsforinhiswritingisbestdescribedas______.(分数:
2.00)
A.gentle
B.natural √
C.humble
D.self-conscious
解析:
温顿在写作中力图采用的口吻是自然的口吻。
温顿在最后一段说:
“为孩子们写作时如果你的态度不自然,你就是高人一等地跟孩子们讲话,就用你自己的口吻吧,要显得自然。
”因此,应选B。

C.Ⅲ
D.Ⅳ
解析:
四种观点中,第一种观点表达了人们对孟席斯极其强烈的钦佩之情。
