1. [A] when [B] why [C] how [D] what
【答案】[D] what
【解析】該題考查的是語法知識。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)和選項的特點,可以判斷出空格處應填從屬連詞引導從句;再根據(jù)句子的內(nèi)容,可以看出該從句是一項研究的相關內(nèi)容(what),不是指研究的時間(when), 原因(why)和方式(how),因此,該題的答案為what。
2. [A] defended [B] concluded [C] withdrawn [D] advised
【答案】[B] concluded
【解析】從此題所在的句子的前后內(nèi)容可以判斷出,that is_______ 中的that是指第一句話的內(nèi)容(朋友與我們基因上的相關性),很顯然是研究得出的結(jié)論。因此,答案為concluded。
3. [A] for [B] with [C] on [D] by
【答案】[C] on
【解析】根據(jù)空格所在句子的內(nèi)容(研究對1932分獨特的受試者進行分析)判斷出進行分析的對象是1932 unique subjects。conduct analysis on…是固定表達。
4. [A] compared [B] sought [C] separated [D] connected
【答案】[A] compared
【解析】該空格所在的句子是which 引導的定語從句修飾study,意思是:對幾對基因不相關的朋友和陌生人進行_______。因為“研究”的內(nèi)容是關于朋友間基因上的相關性問題,所以完整的意思應該是:對幾對基因不相關的朋友和陌生人進行比較。所以最佳答案為compared。
5. [A] tests [B] objects [C]samples [D] examples
【答案】[C] samples
【解析】根據(jù)空格的前后內(nèi)容判斷,到第五個空為止,文章都在講實驗過程,和實驗對象,第五個空格所在句子的內(nèi)容是:相同的人們都用于實驗中的這兩類______。所以根據(jù)上下文語境和內(nèi)容,應該選與實驗對象相對應的samples(樣例).因此,答案是samples。
6. [A] insignificant [B] unexpected [C]unbelievable [D] incredible
【答案】[A] insignificant
【解析】空的語境為:盡管這1%看起來似乎____,但是遺傳學家可不這么認為?涨昂笮纬蓪Ρ绒D(zhuǎn)折的邏輯關系,而從后文列舉的例子中可知遺傳學家James Fowler對這1%基因的態(tài)度是肯定的,故答案為A。
7. [A] visit [B] miss [C] seek [D] know
【答案】[D] know
【解析】空的語境為:大多數(shù)人甚至不____他們隔三代的表親,但卻設法選擇那些____我們親戚的人作為朋友。填入的詞必須滿足前后句之間的轉(zhuǎn)折邏輯關系,四個選項帶入,只有D選項符合上下文語義。
8. [A] resemble [B] influence [C] favor [D] surpass
【答案】[A] resemble
【解析】空的語境為:大多數(shù)人甚至不認識他們隔三代的表親,但卻設法選擇那些____我們親戚的人作為朋友。根據(jù)全文中心:基因上的相似性,可知本題選擇A。
9. [A] again [B] also [C] instead [D] thus
【答案】[B] also
【解析】空所在的句子開頭用“The study…”,顯然這是對上文話題的繼續(xù)闡述,前文指出研究發(fā)現(xiàn)朋友與我們有1%的基因關系,而空所在句“the genes for smell were something shared in friends”在進一步詳細討論該話題,前后之間是順接關系,故答案為B。
10. [A] Meanwhile [B] Furthermore [C] Likewise [D] Perhaps
【答案】[D] Perhaps
【解析】從選項和文字中句子結(jié)構(gòu)可以判斷,空格處要求填入一個能夠體現(xiàn)前后兩個句子邏輯關系的副詞,空前的句子談到“為什么在嗅覺基因方面存在相似性還很難解釋”,空后卻緊接著對此得出一個相關結(jié)論,很明顯是矛盾的,所以此結(jié)論只能是一種不確定的推測,故答案為D。
11. [A] about [B] to [C]from [D]like
【答案】[B] to
【解析】該題為介詞選擇題。后半句出現(xiàn)比較級,可見是和前文形成比較關系,因此和上半句介詞保持一致,用介詞to。該句翻譯:它(這種相似性)吸引我們到相同的'環(huán)境,并且使我們更為相似。因此答案為to。
12. [A] drive [B] observe [C] confuse [D]limit
【答案】[A] drive
【解析】該句意思為:很多機制共同作用,從而_____我們選擇基因相似的朋友,_____和_____交朋友的“功能關系”。根據(jù)上下文可知,此處所填入動詞需符合結(jié)構(gòu)_____sb. in doing sth,B選項observe(觀察,遵守)和C選項confuse(困惑)均無此用法。符合該結(jié)構(gòu)只有A選項drive(驅(qū)使)和D選項limit(限制)。根據(jù)上下文可得知:這些機制驅(qū)使我們選擇基因相似的朋友,符合文章主題。如果選限制則為反向干擾。因此答案為drive。
13. [A] according to [B] rather than [C] regardless of [D] along with
【答案】[B] rather than
【解析】所填詞為邏輯關系短語,空前說選擇基因相似的朋友,空后說具有“實用關系”的朋友,可知前后為對立關系,并且根據(jù)文章主題,可知肯定前者而否定后者,可鎖定B選項rather than。A選項according to(根據(jù))沒有體現(xiàn)出對立及取舍關系,因此排除;C選項regardless of(不管)表讓步關系,干擾性較強,但文章更強調(diào)取前舍后,因此排除;D選項along with(伴隨)表順接,故排除。故答案為rather than。
14. [A] chances [B]responses [C]missions [D]benefits
【答案】[D] benefits
【解析】根據(jù)前文functional kinship(實用關系)可得出D選項benefits(利益),前后形成呼應。A選項chances(機會)、B選項responses(反應)、C選項missions(使命)均不符合題意。故答案為benefits。
15. [A] later [B]slower [C] faster [D] earlier
【答案】[C] faster
【解析】該句為:evolving ______ than other genes(比其他基因進化得______). 根據(jù)同詞復現(xiàn),我們找到該段第二句話中:human evolution picked pace in the last 30,000 years(人類進化在過去30000年間提速)。C 選項faster與下文picked pace(加速)形成呼應,故答案為faster。
16. [A]forecast [B]remember [C]understand [D]express
【答案】[C] understand
【解析】此題考查動詞。根據(jù)語意。空格后面是一個why引導的賓語從句,意為“人類進化在過去三萬年間得以加速的原因”,表示這一研究的結(jié)果和意義。能與這一賓語從句構(gòu)成搭配的只有C選項understand。A選項forecast“預測”與“過去三萬年”相矛盾,B選項remember“記住”和D選項“express”均不符合文意。
17. [A] unpredictable [B]contributory [C] controllable [D] disruptive
【答案】[B] contributory
【解析】此空需要填入一個形容詞,表達社會環(huán)境對人類進步所起到的作用。help,pick pace這兩個詞表達的都是積極的含義,因此此處需要填入一個帶有褒義的感情色彩的詞, 因此排除A選項“不可預測的”和D選項“破壞性的”; B 而C選項“可控的”,與語意無關;因此正確答案為B選項contributory“促進的”。
18. [A] endeavor [B]decision [C]arrangement [D] tendency
【答案】[D] tendency
【解析】此處進一步陳述這一研究的結(jié)論。A選項endeavor“努力”,B選項“決定”,C選項“安排”,D選項“傾向”。本文的主旨重在解釋人們在交朋友的不自覺的一種傾向,而非通過人為的有意識的舉動來選擇朋友。因此正確答案為D。
19. [A] political [B] religious [C] ethnic [D] economic
【答案】[C] ethnic
【解析】結(jié)合文意,人們普遍希望和有相似基因背景的人。C選項ethnic意為“種族的,民族的”,是對上文中多次重復出現(xiàn)的genes,以及下文的the same population的同義復現(xiàn)。因此正確答案為C。 A選項political“政治的”, B選項“宗教的”,D選項“經(jīng)濟的”均不符合原文文意。
20. [A] see [B] show [C] prove [D] tell
【答案】[A] see
【解析】此處考察動詞,動詞勢必要看前后搭配。see that 構(gòu)成固定詞組,意為“務必使……”,符合文意,即:即使所有的受訪者都擁有歐洲血統(tǒng),(研究者們)仍然悉心確保所有的受訪者、朋友和陌生人都來自于同一群種。選項B“展示”,選項C“證明”,選項D“辨別”均無此含義,且不符合文意。

1. [A] by way of [B] on behalf of [C] as well as [D] with regard to
[標準答案] [C] as well as
[考點分析] 邏輯關系
[選項分析] 因為考查邏輯關系,所以需要我們先對填空前后的原文信息做定位分析:空格處身處大環(huán)境not only…but also之中,這是一個明顯的并列關系,表示“不僅……而且……”,該空后面的those指代前文出現(xiàn)的“parents and friends”,顯然“the young man”與“the young woman”為并列關系,表示“與他本人以及伴侶的父母朋友相關”,所以答案只能是[C]項as well as 也,又。[A]項by way of 通過,[D]項with regard to 關于,[B]項on behalf of 代表。
2. [A] adapt to [B] provide for [C] compete with [D] decide on
[標準答案] [D] decide on
[考點分析] 上下文語義
[選項分析] 根據(jù)該句的主語a young man與賓語a likely spouse的關系,答案只能是[D]項decide on“決定”,表示自己決定自己的配偶。[B]項provide for為……提供準備……,provide為及物動詞,直接跟賓語,不需要加介詞;[C]項compete with“與……競爭”,[A]項adapt to“適用”。
3. [A] close [B] remew [C] arrange [D] postpone
[標準答案] [C] arrange
[考點分析] 上下文語義及動詞辨析
[選項分析] 該句意思為:他可以自己選擇自己中意的伴侶并讓父母_____婚姻談判。四個選項中,[A]項close 關閉;[B]項renew 更新,恢復;[D]項postpone 推遲;這三項語義不正確,只有[C]項arrange“安排”符合語境。
4. [A] Above all [B] In theory [C] In time [D] For example
[標準答案] [B] In theory
[考點分析] 上下文語義
[選項分析] 邏輯判斷題主要是看前后兩句的含義,前面說“他可以自己選擇自己中意的伴侶并讓父母安排婚姻談判,或者完全由父母選擇對象,不給孩子選擇的機會。”空格后面說“女方可以否決她父母所選擇的對象。”這兩句之間顯然是相反的關系,且有一個may,更證明[B]項In theory“理論上說”的正確性,而其他選項[A]項Above all最重要的是,[C]項In time 準時,[D]項For example舉例,均不符合題意。
5. [A] Although [B] Lest [C] After [D] Unless
[標準答案] [C] After
[考點分析] 上下文語義
[選項分析] 根據(jù)下文“______a spouse has been selected, each family investigates the other…”可知,只有對象選擇好后,父母才會去調(diào)查對方,顯然表達的是時間先后順序,所以只有after才對。其他選項[A]項Although 盡管, [B]項Lest 以免,唯恐,[D]Unless 除非,否則都不符合題意。
6. [A] into [B] within [C] from [D] through
[標準答案] [A] into
[考點分析] 上下文語義及介詞辨析
[選項分析] 這里主要是看marry與相關介詞的固定搭配及句意理解。這里marry into就是指“通過婚姻得到[成為]……的一員”,而其他選項均沒有這層含義。
7. [A] since [B] or [C] but [D] so
[標準答案] [C] but
[考點分析] 邏輯關系
[選項分析] 根據(jù)上文“以前婚禮會持續(xù)三天”,出處句子意為“到了20世紀80年代,婚禮只持續(xù)一天半”,顯然與前文發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)變,為對比關系,因此選擇[C]項but 但是。
8. [A] copy [B] test [C] recite [D] create
[標準答案] [C] recite
[考點分析] 上下文語義及動詞辨析
[選項分析] 空格處需要填一個動詞,和后面的prayers of blessing所搭配,[C]項recite 有“吟誦、朗誦”的意思,與所給短語搭配最為合理,譯為“吟誦祝福的祈禱文”。
9. [A] folding [B] piling [C] wrapping [D] tying
[標準答案] [D] tying
[考點分析] 上下文語義及動詞辨析
[選項分析] 本題需要根據(jù)上下文語義分析,空格處需要搭配后文“棉線”,縱觀四個選項[A]項 折疊,[B]項 堆積,[C]項 包裹,[D]項 系上,根據(jù)后文的“around the bride’s and groom’s wrists 在新郎和新娘的腰間”,只有[D]項“將在圣水中浸過的棉線系在新郎和新娘的腰間”符合句意。
10. [A] passing [B] lighting [C] hiding [D] serving
[標準答案] [A] passing
[考點分析] 上下文語義及動詞辨析
[選項分析] 原文空格需要填寫一個動詞與后文“around a circle”來搭配,譯為“將蠟燭傳一圈”,故[A]項“傳遞”為正確選項。[B]項 點亮,[C]項 隱藏,[D]項 服務。
11. [A] meeting [B] collection [C] association [D] union
[標準答案] [D] union
[考點分析] 名詞辨析
[選項分析] 本句語義為“將蠟燭繞著幸福完婚和受人尊敬的夫妻傳遞一圈來祝福 ”,[D]項 結(jié)合,引申為“婚姻”之意;根據(jù)語境,[D]項正確。
12. [A] grow [B] part [C] deal [D] live
[標準答案] [D] live
[考點分析] 上下文語義及動詞辨析
[選項分析] 本題比較簡單。根據(jù)語義“根據(jù)傳統(tǒng),新婚夫婦要搬到妻子父母家,與父母____一年”,[D]項“生活”為最佳答案。[C]項 交易,[B]項 分開,[A]項 成長。
13. [A] whereas [B] until [C] if [D] for
[標準答案] [B] until
[考點分析] 時間邏輯關系
[選項分析] 本句意為“_____他們在附近建造一棟新房子”,[A]項 然而,[B]項 直到,[D]項因為,[C]項 如果,結(jié)合前文“新婚夫婦根據(jù)傳統(tǒng)要和女方家人生活一年”,前后存在一定的時間關系,[B]項“直到”最符合原文語境,搭配最為合理。
14. [A] avoid [B] follow [C] challenge [D] obtain
[標準答案] [D] obtain
[考點分析] 上下文語義及動詞辨析
[選項分析] Divorce is legal and relatively easy to __14__, but not common. 該句句意為“離婚是合法的,且相對容易____。”[A]項avoid避免,[B]項follow跟隨,[C]項challenge挑戰(zhàn),質(zhì)疑,[D]項obtain獲得,實現(xiàn)。根據(jù)關鍵詞“legal”可知這里表達的是正面的意思,再根據(jù)句意選擇[D]項。
15. [A] isolated [B] persuaded [C] viewed [D] exposed
[標準答案] [C] viewed
[考點分析] 上下文語義及動詞辨析
[選項分析] Divorced persons are __15__ with some disapproval. 離婚的人 一些不認可。本段第一句提到“離婚是合法的且相對容易得到批準,但是不常見。”這句其實是在說明離婚并不常見的原因,[A]項isolated孤立,[B]項persuaded勸說,[C]項viewed看待,[D]項exposed接觸,受到……的影響,[C]項最符合句意。
16. [A] whereever [B] whatever [C] whenever [D] however
[標準答案] [B] whatever
[考點分析] 關系代詞辨析
[選項分析] Each spouse retains ___16___ property he or she __17__ into the marriage. 17小題四個選項都是動詞,所以該句意思為:夫婦雙方保有財產(chǎn),這個財產(chǎn)是他或她進婚姻的。結(jié)合[A]項 whereever“無論何地;任何(地方)=any place where(定從)”;[B]項 whatever“無論什么;任何(東西)=anything that/any+N that”;[C]項 whenever無論何時;任何時間=any time when;[D]項 however無論如何;無論多么。根據(jù)語義,這里應該不是讓步的關系,而且填的這個詞還要能修飾property。因此,選擇[B]項,等于retains any property that he or she……。
17. [A] changed [B] brought [C] shaped [D] pushed
[標準答案] [B] brought
[考點分析] 上下文語義及動詞義辨析
[選項分析] Each spouse retains ___16___ property he or she __17__ into the marriage,結(jié)合[A]項 changed“改變”,[B]項 brought “帶來”,[C]項 shaped“形成”,[D]項 pushed“推,逼迫”。結(jié)合語境只有[B]項符合句意,意為“把財產(chǎn)帶入婚姻”。
18. [A] invested [B] divided [C] donated [D] withdrawn
[標準答案] [B] divided
[考點分析] 上下文語義及動詞義辨析
[選項分析] ...and jointly-acquired property is __18__ equally. 結(jié)合[A]項invested投資;[B]項divided分配;分開;[C]項donated 捐贈;[D]項withdrawn撤出,提取。根據(jù)語義應該是共同財產(chǎn)被(夫妻雙方)平分,因此選擇[B]項。
19. [A] warms [B] clears [C] shows [D] breaks
[標準答案] [C] shows
[考點分析] 動詞固定搭配
[選項分析] Divorced persons may remarry, but a gender prejudice __19__up. 該句語義為離過婚的人或許會再婚,但是性別偏見 。[A]項warm up加熱,熱身;[B]項clear up(天氣)變晴,收拾,消除;[C]項show up顯現(xiàn);[D]項break up分裂,分開;根據(jù)句意,選擇[C]項。
20. [A] while [B] so that [C] once [D] in that
[標準答案] [A] while
[選項分析] 上下文語義
[考點分析] 本句句意為:離婚的男性再婚不需要等待期,女性必須等十個月。顯然前后兩句存在轉(zhuǎn)折關系,只有[A]項while“然而”能夠表達這個意思。
