答案PartIVReadingComprehension(Readingindepth)
47.【快速解题】动词辨义题。
K【火眼金睛】本句缺少谓语,根据句中before引导的时间状语从句中的过去时态,可以断定谓语动词应使用过去时。
根据句意,备选动词中recruited符合题意。
此外备选词中analyzed是强干扰项,但其实并不合适,因为“研究者们分析了92个家庭……,并且逐一询问了他们的收入、受教育状况、孩子的照顾情况。
”其中“分析”与“逐一询问”在逻辑意义上不符。
48.【快速解题】动词辨义题。
J【火眼金睛】空格处在with短语中,且应该作宾语parents的补足语。
根据句意可知此处应为“研究人员将他们与父母双方在家自由玩耍的情景录制下来,并记录他们所有的谈话。
”可以看出此处需填一个动名词,并含有“记录”的意思,备选动词中recording符合题意。
49.【快速解题】动词辨义题。
L【火眼金睛】空格位于the与number之间,可知此处需填入一个形容词作定语。
备选形容词中total符合题意,意为“父母亲话语总的数量”。
50.【快速解题】名词辨义题。
C【火眼金睛】空格位于other之后,可知此处需填入名词,备选名词只有aspects符合题意,意为“科学家们测量了父母亲话语总的数量,使用不同词汇的数量,他们的语句的复杂程度以及他们语言的其他方面。
”
51.【快速解题】动词辨义题。
B【火眼金睛】空格在主语theresearchers之后,可知此处应填入谓语动词的过去时态。
剩余的备选动词中analyzed符合题意,意为“最后,当孩子们三岁时,研究者们对孩子进行了标准化的语言测试,并对他们的语言进行了分析。
”
52.【快速解题】名词辨义题。
H【火眼金睛】空格处前后分别为the与of,可知此处需填入名词,根据上下文可知该句意为“测试中,预测高分的指标包括母亲受教育的程度,养育孩子的质量,父亲使用不同词汇的数量。
”备选名词中quality符合题意。
53.【快速解题】形容词辨义题。
N【火眼金睛】空格位于be动词与why从句之间,可知需填入形容词或过去分词,以构成系表结构。
动词中的剩余词汇,均不能使句意通顺。
备选形容词中unsure可使句意通顺,意为“令研究者们疑惑的是为什么父亲而非母亲的语言对孩子有影响。
”
54.【快速解题】动词辨义题。
G【火眼金睛】空格处在iswell和that从句之间,此处需要填入过去分词。
备选动词中established符合题意,其中itiswellestablishedthat…,意为“大家公认……”。
55.【快速解题】副词辨义题。
A【火眼金睛】本句结构完整,空格处需填入一个副词。
空格前后的had并不相同,前面的had是构成过去完成时态的助动词,后面的had是短语haveastronginfluenceon…,结合句意,备选副词中already符合题意。
56.【快速解题】动词辨义题。
E【火眼金睛】纵观全句,空格处应填入现在分词,与are构成现在进行时态。
根据句意“最终对于整个学校的文化氛围都会产生有益的影响”。
备选动词中contributing符合题意,意为“可能母亲起作用的方式在研究中我们没有测量。
”
