考查动词短语辨析。病人可以“坐起来”看窗外,另外第二段最后一句话也有提示。situp意为“坐直,坐起来”;standup意为“站起来”;setup意为“建立”;stayup意为“熬夜,不睡觉”。2.A 考查上下文逻辑关系理解。从后文onhisback看出比尔只能每天“躺着”。3.A 考查词语搭配。serviceinthearmy意为“在部队服役”。说明两人聊起了在部队当兵的共同经历。4.C 考查上下文关系理解。约翰向病友比尔“描述”窗外的景象。第三段首句有description提示。explain意为“解释”;complain意为“抱怨”;introduce意为“介绍”。5.B 考查词语搭配。broadenedandbrightened相配,通过约翰的描述,比尔的世界“更开阔了”。expand指的是“发展,壮大”;affect意为“影响”;damage意为“毁掉”。6.C 考查动词辨析。比尔看不见窗外的景色,只能根据约翰的描述来想象,因此应当用imagine一词,而不是“看见”、“记得”、“认出”。7.B 考查动词短语辨析。ceiling是“天花板”的意思,句意:比尔躺在床上盯着天花板。thinkabout意为“考虑”;stareat意为“盯着”;holdup意为“举起”;fixon意为“选定,确定”。8.A 考查上下文逻辑关系理解。后句表明约翰死了,所以应该选择“停止咳嗽”。9.A 考查形容词辨析。deadly意为“致命的,破坏性的或极其的”;dead意为“死的”;breathless意为“气喘吁吁的,喘不上气来”;aimless意为“漫无目的的”。句中修饰silence,应当用deadly,意为“死一般的寂静”。10.D 考查对主旨的理解。比尔一直渴望看到窗外的风景,因此要求转到约翰的床上去,所以他“充满希望地”支起胳膊看窗外。regretfully意为“后悔地,遗憾地”;fortunately意为“幸运地”;particularly意为“特别地”;hopefully的意思是“充满希望地”。11.A 考查短语辨析。比尔满心期待,却没有看到约翰所描述的景象,应当是感到吃惊。toone'ssurprise意为“令人吃惊的是”;toone'sdelight意为“令人高兴的是”;toone'srelief意为“令人释然的是”;toone'sanger意为“令人愤怒的是”。12.B 考查形容词辨析。ablankwall意为“一面空白的墙”。simple意为“简单的”;colored意为“有颜色的”;painted意为“涂油漆的”。13.C 考查名词辨析。从后文中wechosetoexpress可以看出是“一种态度的选择”,应当用choice。consideration意为“考虑”;expression意为“表达,表情”;practice意为“练习,实践”。14.A 考查动词辨析。此句意为“对幸福的选择不是送到门口的礼物”。deliver意为“投递,送交”。15.C 考查形容词辨析。只要我们选择希望,生活应该是“充满生机和活力的”。friendly,yearly,likely均为形容词,词义为“友好的”、“年度的”、“可能的”,均不恰当。Ⅱ.A本文是一篇说明文,内容是有关翻译机器发明成果的阐述。16.B 细节理解题。根据文章第五、六段可推出B项是错误的。17.C 推理判断题。在短文第二段中提到了LectureTranslation,在第三段中提到了prototype,在第五段中又提到了MuscleTranslator,因而没有被提到的应该是C项。6\n18.A 推理判断题。根据短文倒数第二段所述“Theideabehindtheuniversity'sprototypesistocreate‘goodenough'bridgesforcrossculturalexchangesthatarebecomingmorecommonintheworld,”可以推断出A项就是发明翻译机器的真正目的。19.D 推理判断题。根据短文第七段所述Thisparticulargadget,whenfullydeveloped…,其含义为“当这种特别的器具得以充分的改进时……”,可以推测出,目前这种器械尚在发展完善之中。20.B 推理判断题。这篇文章是有关翻译机器发明成果的阐述,根据常识,它极有可能会选自科学杂志。B如果现在不注意锻炼身体,老了以后会怎样?穿上AGNES,现在你就可以感受到老年人的感觉。21.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中…letyouknowwhatitfeelslike—physically—tobe75yearsold.可知,AGNES的功能是让人们提前感受人老以后的实际身体状况。22.C 推理判断题。根据第二段While…youngmarketersnevergetthat‘Ahha!’momentofhavingdifficultyopeningajar,orgettinginandoutofacar.That'swhatAGNESprovides.可知,年轻的销售人员在生活中从未感受老年人的难处。23.D 段落大意题。第三段主要介绍AGNES这套服装是如何让人在具体部位有不舒服的感觉,感受年老以后的身体不适。24.C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的内容特别是Bywearingthesuittheycouldseeforthemselveswhatdesignandmaterialswouldmakethemostsenseforaphysicallylimitedolderperson.可以看出,这些学生在研究一款新的walker,通过试穿AGNES,他们能够切身感受老年人的身体情况,从而能够确定什么样的设计和材料才最为合适,可知画线部分是指为老年人开发的一种产品。25.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Asecondarybenefitwe'vefoundwithAGNESisthatithasbecomeapowerfultooltogetyoungerpeopletoinvestintheirlongtermhealth.可知,AGNES还能促使年轻人注意保持身体健康。6
