16、章大意】这是一篇说明文。调查研究表明,男人更愿意帮助穿高跟鞋的女性。1.B目的意图题。第一段提到,调查显示男人们更愿意对穿高跟鞋的女人伸出援手,这正是文章的主题。故选B项。2.B细节理解题。第二段第一句提到,帮助女性的形式包括:参与调查问卷和追上去归还女人落下的手套。这就是文中提到的两个实验,选择B项。3.A推理判断题。根据第二段提到的调查数据以及盖根教授所说的“男性同意接受问卷调查的速度随鞋跟的增高而加快”可知,A项符合文意。4.C推理判断题。最后一段提到了一个原因:男性可能把伸出援手视为与魅力女性接触的一种平和的方式。据此可推知下面会谈到其他原因。二、语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,

17、满分15分)Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is 1.(cheap) than ever to own one,and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers.The result is overcrowding on the road system,2. is one of the problems the local governments are faced with.When people travel to ot

20、s to be got right for any solution to succeed.If we expect people to give up 8. habit of driving,we must give them an alternative they can rely on.Constant delays,unannounced changes to the timetable and 9.(suddenly) cancellations all discourage people from using public transport.People will only se

21、e it as a real 10.(choose) if the buses and trains are on time.1.cheaper。由than ever可知,应使用cheap的比较级形式。2.which。此处应用which引导非限制性定语从句,overcrowding为先行词,which在从句中作主语。3.increasingly。popular为形容词,应被副词increasingly修饰。increasingly意为“越来越多地,不断增加地”。4.led。句末的时间状语last year表明应用一般过去时,故填lead的过去式led。5.another。第二段介绍了一种解决交

22、通拥堵问题的方法,第三段介绍了另外一种方法,another符合语境。6.Fining。此处应用动名词短语作主语,故填fining。7.However。前两段阐述了解决交通拥堵问题的措施,本段介绍了当今交通管理方面存在的不足及配套改进措施,再根据空后的“one thing has to be got right.”可知,应填写表示转折的副词however。8.the。此处特指“驾车”的习惯,故用定冠词the。9.sudden。此处应用作定语修饰名词cancellations。10.choice。由“see it as”可判定此处与“it”对应,故用choose的名词形式choice。Part B

23、一、完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)I have been driving for over 30 years,but I can still remember what happened that day when I drove a car for the first time.My mom had driven our big Plymouth to a 1 and deserted back road and 2 it.It was a one-way road and had a 3 built with river rocks along the side of

30、这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过描述自己跟母亲学习开车的经历告诉我们:人的一生会无数次跌倒,不管是从头再来还是勇往直前,都需要先坚强地站起来。1.B由下文中的“deserted back road”和“one-way road”可知,这是一条已经荒废、偏僻的单行道,应该非常“狭窄”,故选择B项。steep“陡峭的”;crowded“拥挤的”;loose“宽松的”。2.D由下文“With a smile,she gave me the key.”可知,母亲停下了汽车。unload“卸载”;equip“安装”;repair“修理”;park“停车”。3.A由第二段第三句“.I heard the sc

31、ratch of metal against the stone wall.”可知,路边上有一道用河中的岩石建造的石墙,A项符合语境。4.C由上文对路况的描述可知,在这条路上碰见其他车辆的概率很小。chance在此意为“可能性,可能”。5.C句意:母亲微笑着交给我钥匙,并与我调换了座位。switch“调换,交换”;book“预订(房间、车票等)”;adjust“调整,校准”。C项符合语境。6.B由“to put it into drive and to 7 push on the gas pedal”及下文内容可看出,母亲让“我”启动汽车。start在此为“启动,开动”之意。7.D由下段首句“.what gently meant.”可知,答案为D项。8.B从下文内容看,作者并没有轻轻地踩踏加速器,可见误解了“gently”的真正含义。miscalculate“错误估计,错误判断”符合语境。9.A根据常识,启动后的汽车只能是加速向前。forward“向前地”;upward“向上地”;backward“向后”;downward“向下”。10.C句意:我还没来得及转动方向盘,就听到了金属在石墙上的刮擦声。wheel在此意为“方向盘”。11.D由“looked over at Mom”来判断,作者已经把车停下了,故选D项。1
