【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。
