A. what B. which C. where D. that（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是定语从句知识。本句空白处前后是两个句子，这提示本题应该选用B(which)引导一个定语从句，因为这样才能保持本句在结构上的正确性。本句中的“the main researches of whichthe observing and controlling system”是一个较长的定语从句，其中的“which”一词指代本文第一行中的“Space Shuttle Proje

9、ct(航天飞机工程)”。由于本题空白处前面是介词of，故本题不能选用D(that)。(2). A. labeling B. hauling C. hawking D. launching（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是逆向推断能力。本题空白处后面的信息内容“and landing ports(着陆场)”提示本题应该选用D(launching发射)，以便构成“发射场和着陆场”这一完整通顺的表达法。(3).A. dedicatedB. boosted C. browsed D. decreased（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是逆向推断知识。本题

11、原因状语。故本题应该选用A(as由于)，以便表达本句的因果关系。“as”是多义词，比较难以理解和准确使用。(5).A. parallel B. outfit C. programmeD. outlet（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是核心词语的替换知识。本题是一道高难度的核心词语替换题。英文与中文不同，英文作者习惯于文章核心词语的替换。本题空白处前面的代词“this(这)”提示本题应该选用C(programme项目)，以便替换本段第二句话的主语(也是本文的核心词语)“The whole-project，(整个项目)”。这种题是考研中的高难且常见题型。(6). A. un

12、iform B. spark C. unity D. spare（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是语境推断知识。本题空白处前面的信息内容“landing port(着陆场)”提示本题应该选用D(spare备用的)，因为这样才能够保持本句前后在语意上的合理与通顺，使本句先涉及“着陆场(landing port)”，然后涉及“备用着陆场”。(7). A. whereas B. what C. whether D. which（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是定语从句知识。本题空白处前后的信息内容(动词finished和meant)提示本题应该选用D(

13、which)以便构成定语从句，因为这样才能保持本句话在语法结构上的正确性。“which”一词引导的定语从句用来限定修饰其前面的整句话。这是一个特殊的定语从句，因为该定语从句修饰限定的范围较大。(8).A. resolutionB. renaissanceC. researches D. resemblance（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是词语的固定搭配使用知识。本题空白处后面的信息内容“and manufactures(制造、生产)”提示本题应该选用C(researches研究)，以便表达“研制(researches and manufactures)”这一固定词语

14、表达形式。(9). A. building B. breaching C. breeding D. bugging（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是逆向推断知识。本题空白处后面的信息内容“and rebuilding(重建)”提示本题应该选用A(building建设)，以便构成“建设，重建”这一符合先后逻辑关系的表达法。(10). A. obscuring B. rejecting C. observing D. refining（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是词语的固定使用知识。本题空白处后面的信息内容“and controlling sys

15、tem(控制系统)”提示本题应该选用C(observing监视)，以便构成“the observing and controlling system(监控系统)”这一固定的词语表达方式。(11).

A. led B. deprived C. leaked D. diluted（分数：0.50）A

16、.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是逆向推断知识。本题空白处后面的信息内容“by deputy president(副总统)”提示本题应该选用A(led领导，率领)，因为总统的职责是领导和管理事务。(13).A. weapon B. investigationC. wisdom D. irritation（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是词语的固定使用知识。本题空白处后面的信息内容“and research(研究)”提示本题应该选用B(investigation调查)，以便构成“调研”这一固定词语表达法。(14).A. economicsB. finance C. a

17、ccounting D. economy（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是词汇辨析知识。本题选项中的A(economics经济学)和D(economy经济；节省)是易混的词。根据本题空白处前面的信息内容“with great，benefits”，本题应该选用D(economy经济)以便表达“经济效益高”这一含义。(15). A. in B. with C. by D. through（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是独立主格结构知识。本题的测试重点是介词“with”的主要用法之一引导独立主格结构，在句中充当状语。本题空白处前面是一个完整的句子结构

18、(主谓宾句式)；本题空白处后面是一个逻辑上的“主系表”结构(the spaceflight being its leading stanchion)。上述句子结构提示本题应该选用B(with)来引导独立主格结构，因为这样才可以保持本句在语法结构上的正确性。(16). A. modified B. propelled C. named D. provoked（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是逆向推断知识。本题空白处后面的信息内容是五架航天飞机的具体名称，这些名称提示本题应该选用C(named命名)，以便使句子的前后内容通顺合理。(17).A. convictionB. s

19、tage C. context D. stand（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是篇章结构知识。本文第二段和第三段的时间状语“1969”和“1970”提示这两个段落按时间顺序分别讲述两个时间阶段，故本题应该选用B(stage阶段)，以便使上下文前后连贯。(18). A. due B. sober C. drastic D. feeble（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是上下文语意连贯知识。本句空白处前后的信息内容是“were over in_form(以_形式结束)”。由于本文第二、三、四段是以时间顺序展开叙述的，另外第二段尾句的信息内容强调动词

20、“prescribed(规定)”，故本题应该选用A(due规定的；预期的)，因为这样才能保持全文段落间的连贯一致。(19). A. spent B. took C. consumed D. absorbed（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是词语的固定搭配使用知识。本题空白处前后的信息内容提示该题重点考查“it takes+时间+to do(花费若干时间做事情)”这一固定表达句型，故应该用B(took花费)。(20).A. commerceB. business C. trade D. transaction（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 本题考查点是同义词

21、辨析知识。本题的四个选项均含有“商业”之含义，但是本题空白处前面的信息内容提示：本句想表达的含义是“商业性飞行”之意。故本题应选用A(commerce商业)，因为这是英语的固定表达方法。二、BSection Reading Comprehension/B(总题数：0，分数：0.00)三、BPart A/B(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、BText 1/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)On the ground floor of the Federal Reserve building in Washington, DC, there is an electronic game which
