【试题精析】

1.[答案][C]warning

考点：

上下文语义理解

解析：

空格之后的宾语从句部分“technologyisreplacinghumanworkers.”结合选项，应该选择warning。

其他三项[A]boasting         [B]denying             [D]ensuring均不符合此处的语境要求，故均排除。

2.[答案][A]inequality

考点：

上下文语义理解

空格单词后面的句意看到了贫富对比，故作为上文对其进行概括关键应选择inequality。

3.[答案][D]prediction

考点：

时态判断

空格之后的内容 “holdsthatthefuturewillbeawastelandofadifferentsort，”该定语从句是对空格词汇的修饰与说明，既然文中用到了will这一个表示将来时态的助动词，故答案为prediction。

4.[答案][A]characterized

考点：

后置定语+固定搭配

one4bypurposelessness。

其他三项均不符合，故排除。

5.[答案][B]meaning

考点：

句间语义理解

Withoutjobstogivetheirlives5，peoplewillsimplybecomelazyanddepressed.空格所在句后面的表述与空格前的内容属于并列关系，由逗号连接。

答案选择meaning。

[A]wisdom   [C]glory     [D]freedom 这些选项都表示褒义色彩和后面lazy、depressed矛盾。

6.　[答案][B]Indeed

考点：

上下文逻辑关系

分析下四个选项可以看出并无体现因果关系故[A]Thus排除，另外instead，nevertheless表示转折语意，但是上下文逻辑并无体现。

 故[A]Instead             [C]Thus          [D]Nevertheless均排除。

7.[答案][C]working

考点：

上下文语义理解

 OneGalluppollfoundthat20percentofAmericanswhohavebeenunemployedforatleastayearreporthavingdepression，doubletheratefor7Americans.根据上下文对比的语意对照应该选择working。

前面提到unemployed。

此处在进行对比，故选择表示反义呼应的词working。

8.[答案][A]explanation

考点：

句内语意理解+固定搭配

 someresearchsuggeststhatthe8forrisingratesofmortality，mental-healthproblems,andaddicting9poorly-educatedmiddle-agedpeopleisshortageofwell-paidjobs.

9.[答案][D]among

考点：

句内语义理解、介词辨析

很明显应该指前者的发生范围。

浏览四个选项，among“在....中”表示范围，符合此处语义需要，故为答案。

10.[答案][C]worryabout

考点：

上下文语义理解+句内语义理解

Perhapsthisiswhymany10theagonizingdullnessofajoblessfuture.

11.[答案][C]necessarily

考点：

上下文逻辑关系+句内语义理解

Butitdoesn’t 11followfromfindingslikethesethataworldwithoutworkwouldbefilledwithunease.But表示转折语意。

doesn'tnecessarily不一定。

符合此处语意需要，故为答案。

12.[答案][B]downsides

考点：

上下文语义理解后置定语

Suchvisionsarebasedonthe 12ofbeingunemployedinasocietybuiltontheconceptofemployment.

答案的线索在于空格后面的介词短语，后面提到beingunemployed。

这是贬义。

其他选项均不符条件。

13.[答案][A]absence

考点：

词汇复现

 Inthe 13ofwork，asocietydesignedwithotherendsinmindcould 14strikinglydifferentcircumstancesforthefutureoflaborandleisure.

14.[答案][D]yield

考点：

词汇的一词多义与搭配

Inthe 13ofwork，asocietydesignedwithotherendsinmindcould 14strikinglydifferentcircumstancesforthefutureoflaborandleisure.该空格所选词汇的主语是asociety宾语是differentcircumstances.根据主谓一致的原则应该选择yield。

语义为：

产生。

15.[答案][C]virtue

考点：

上下文语义理解

overblown.一词为解题线索。

含义：

吹散吹倒表贬义。

后面的内容Manyjobsareboring，degrading，unhealthy，andawasteofhumanpotential，”saysJohnDanaher，alecturerattheNationalUniversityofIrelandinGalway.是对这句话的进一步解释，结合前后的上下文语义理解，应选择virtue，其他选项均排除。

16.　[答案][D]scarce

考点：

上下文语义理解

 becauseleisuretimeisrelatively 16formostworkers，peopleusetheirfreetimetocounterbalancetheintellectualandemotional 17oftheirjobs.结合常识认知及上下文理解应该选择scarce。

17.　[答案][A]demands

考点：

上下文语义理解

根据语义的要求，浏览选项，只有demands符合语义要求。

18.　[答案][B]tired  

考点：

上下文语义理解+常识

“WhenIcomehomefromahardday’swork，Ioftenfeel 18，”Danahersays，adding，“InaworldinwhichIdon’thavetowork，Imightfeelratherdifferent”.

19.　[答案][D]into

考点：

固定搭配+句内语义理解

perhapsdifferentenoughtothrowhimself 19ahobbyorapassionprojectwiththeintensityusuallyreservedfor 20matters.“Throwoneselfinto......”意思是：

一头扎进；投身于，积极从事

20.[答案][B]professional

考点：

复现+呼应

perhapsdifferentenoughtothrowhimself intoahobbyorapassionprojectwiththeintensityusuallyreservedfor 20matters.此处空格处答案和前面的intensity形成呼应与关联。

故此处professional符合语义需要，入选。
