PartⅠStructureandVocabulary
SectionA
1.DoyouenjoylisteningtorecordsIfindrecordsareoftenorbetterthananactualperformance.
A.asgoodasB.asgoodC.goodD.goodas
【句意】你喜欢听唱片吗我发现听唱片常常跟实际演出效果一样好,甚至其效要还好于实际演出.
【答案及考生答对率】A,答对率为68%
【考核知识点】比较结构
【解析】"asgoodas"用于形容词原级比较,"or"后面用了形容词比较级,比较对象用than引导."asgoodas和betterthan由or连接",表平行并列关系,表示不同的比较关系,表达的比较意义也不同,所以任何一个"as"都不能省,故[B],[D]都是错误的.[C]good根本不能与than搭配,也是错误的.[A]是惟一正确答案.
【举例】Shecancookasgoodashermother.
Heisn'tso/askindasheappears.
2.MypainapparentthemomentIwalkedintotheroom,forthefirstmanImetaskedsym-pathetically:"Areyoufeelingallright"
A.mustbeB.hadbeenC.musthebeenD.hadtobe
【句意】当我走入房间的那一刻,我的疼痛想必一定很明显,因为我遇到的第一个人同情地问我:"你不舒服吗"
【答案及考生答对率】C,答对率为75%
【考核知识点】情态动词+动词不定式完成时
【解析】"musthedone"结构表示对过去发生的情况的强烈肯定推测,译为"肯定是,一定是".[A]与本题句时态不一致,为错项,[B]是过去完成时,表示"疼痛"在"进屋"之前已经完成,显然与句意不符,也为错项,[D]为错项.
【小结】"情态动词+hedone"结构是常考的语法项目,从1991年到2000年为止,考研英语试卷中已前后考过五次.考生务必查阅相关语法书,弄清该结构的几种基本结构形式,及其含义和用法上的区别.
【举例】Youmustheleftyourchildinthesupermarket.
You4laughedinyoursleeplastnight.Youmusthehadajoyfuldream.
3.Theseniorlibrarianatthecirculationdeskpromisedtogetthebookformeshecouldrememberwholastborrowedit.
A.eversinceB.muchasC.eventhoughD.ifonly
【句意】借书处年龄较大的图书馆管理员答应,只要她想来是起谁最后借了那本书,就帮我找回来.
【答案及考生答对率】D,答对率为72%
【考核知识点】连接词
【解析】[A]eversince(自从),[B]muchas(尽管),[C]eventhough(即使),均不合句意,应予排除.[D]在本题中是if的一种强化表达式,意为"只要"或"只是",表示"只要达到这个条件就行",说明说话者的强烈主观愿望.故[D]符合句意(借书处年龄较大的图书管理员答应,只要她能想起谁最后借走了那本书就帮我找回来),为正确答案.
【小结】"ifonly"是连词,通常表示"愿望",常译为"但愿,要是等就好了".如果该愿望是指现在或将来的,那么句子里用过去时态,如果是指过去未能实现的愿望,则在句中使用过去完成时.分别参看下例:(1)IfonlyIhadmoremoney...(2)Ifonlyhehadtoldme.
本题"ifonly"则是一特别用法,再举GRE1991年4月考卷中一题为例:TheinfluenceoftheTimaeusamongearlyphilosophicalthinkerswaspervasive,ifonlybecauseitwasthesoledialogueailableinEuropeforalmost1000years(《狄米奥斯》在早期哲学家中的影响非常广泛,只是因为它是欧洲近一千年中惟一能找到的哲学对话录).
【举例】Ifonlythecatdidn'teattoomuch.
IfonlyIcanaffordthehouse.
4.Observationsweremadethechildrenatthebeginningandattheendofpreschoolandfirstgrade.
A.towardsB.ofC.onD.with
【句意】有人对孩子们在学龄前和小学一年级开始和结束时的情况做了观察记录.
【答案及考生答对率】B,答对率为20%
【考核知识点】介词搭配
【解析】严格来讲,[B],[C]两项都对由动词+名词+介词构成的短语动词变为被动时有两种方法,如文中的:observationsweremadeofthechildren等于childrenweremadeobservationsof"observation"作可数名词时,有两个意思:(1)"对等观察后发表的言论,意见",(2)"观察报告,观察记录",makeobservationson/of都应正确,只不过用介词"on"比用介词"of"语气上更加正式一些.
5.Thearticleopensandcloseswithdescriptionsoftwonewsreports,eachonemajorpointincontrastwiththeother.
A.makesB.madeC.istomakeD.making
【句意】该文开头和结尾描述了两则新闻报道,每则都各包含一个与另一则相对立的论点.
【答案及考生答对率】D,答对率为59%
【考核知识点】独立结构
【解析】所谓独立结构就是分词短语带有自己的逻辑主语,独立结构一般用作状语.就本题而言,首先要排除[A],[C]两项,因为代入[A]或[C],后半句对,但不可与前半句并列,逗号前后就成了缺少连接手段而硬凑在一起的两个简单句,这是英语语法所不允许的,[B]过去分词,[D]现在分词,答案为[D],因为对逻辑主语"each"(每则报道)来说,是动作的发出者.[D]代入后与代词each构成分词独立结构,作状语.
【举例】Therearemanykindsofsteel,eachhingitsspecialusesinindustry.
Hisroomwasonthethirdfloor,thefrontwindowslookingintothestreet.
6.Asafetyanalysisthetargetasapotentialdanger.Unfortunately,itwasneverdone.
A.wouldidentifyB.willidentify
C.wouldheidentifiedD.willheidentified
【句意】做一次安全分析就可以鉴别出预定目标是一种潜在危险,不幸的是,从未这么做过.
【答案及考生答对率】C,答对率为87%
【考核知识点】虚拟语气
【解析】句中"unfortunately"后跟过去时,暗示过去有事该做但却没做,即上半句须用虚拟语气.上半句省略了虚拟条件句"ifithadbeendone",显然主句相应地应使用wouldheidentified的虚拟表达式,来表示与过去事实相反的检测设.故[C]为正确答案.
【举例】Ifmysisterhadthemoneylastyear,sheshould/would/could/mightheboughtacar.
Iwouldhelentittoyoubutthenovelwaslost.(等于Ifmyteleponehadnotbeenoutoforder...)
7.Thenumberofregisteredparticipantsinthisyear'arathonwashalf.
A.oflastyear'sB.thoseoflastyear's
C.ofthoseoflastyearD.thatoflastyear's
【句意】登记参加今年马拉松赛跑的人数是去年的一半.
【答案及考生答对率】D,答对率为33%
【考核知识点】比较句中的代词使用
【解析】在比较句中,为避免重复,常用代词that或those代替上文的单数名词或复数名词.that指代前面出现的名词thenumberofregisteredparticipants,故下文比较部分用that代替.可见[D]应为正确答案.
【举例】Thenumberofnewbornthisyearistwicethatoflast10year's.
8.Fortheresuccesulmunication,theremustbeattentivenessandinvolvementinthediscussionitselfbyallpresent.
A.isB.tobeC.willbeD.being
【句意】要达到成功交流的目的,所有在场的人都要集中精力,积极参加讨论.
【答案及考生答对率】B,答对率为23%
【考核知识点】therebe句型
【解析】本题是考查不定式结构作状语与现在分词结构作状语的区别:不定式结构常作目的状语和结果状语(结果状语主要限于onlytodosth."结果却等"用法),而现在分词结构常作原因状语和伴随状态状语.根据句意(要达到成功交流的目的等),句首部分应是目的状语,故应选不定式结构[B].代入后,逗号前是for引导的不定式复合结构,作目的状语.[D]带入后句意就讲不通,因为there后接being时,前面不用for.therebeing常表示原因.[A],[C]不对是因为,一旦带入,逗号前就变成连词for引导的原因并列句,而for引导的原因句却不能置于句首.
【举例】Nobodyhasthoughtoftherebeingsuchaseriousaccident.
HeandIhenoobjectiontotherebeingameetinghere.
9.TherewaseryinterestingremarkinabookbyanEnglishmanthatIreadrecentlywhathethoughtwasareasonforthisAmericancharacteristic.
A.givingB.geC.togiveD.given
【句意】我最近读了一本英国人写的书,其中有一段评论很有趣.该评论阐述了他对这种美国特点形成原因的看法.
【答案及考生答对率】A,答对率为49%
【考核知识点】分词作定语
【解析】此句较复杂,弄清句子结构非常重要.Therewaseryinterestingremark...thatIread...whathethoughtwasareason...是本句的主要结构.其中:"thatIreadrecently"是定语从句,修饰"book",空格处所引导的分词结构作定语,修饰"remark","what"引导的宾语从句,做分词的宾语,"hethought"为插入语.
认识到空格部分是后置定语,修饰remark,便可自然排除[B],[C]togive之所以排除,是因为不定式所表示的动作必须放在"therewas"之后,而事实上两个动作应同时发生,[A]现在分词,[D]过去分词,正确答案为[A]是因为giving是现在分词,表示主动,修饰remark,相应地,[D]就必须排除.
10.Noonewouldhetimetoreadorlistentoanaccountofeverythinggoingonintheworld.
A.itisB.asisC.thereisD.whatis
【句意】谁也没有足够的时间去阅读或聆听关于世上每一件事的报道.
【答案及考生答对率】C,答对率为9%
【考核知识点】定语从句
【解析】根据句意可知,空格引导的应为定语从句,修饰everything.[A]代入后,两个完整的句子间没有连接词,应该排除,[B]asis代入后引导定语从句,由于everything前没有such和thesame故[B]也须排除,[D]whatis要排除,因为what不能引导定语从句.答案为[C],由therebe句型引导的限制性定语从句中,作从句主语的关系代词that经常省略.goingonintheworld为分词定语,修饰被省略的关系代词that.

维生素是一种特殊的蛋白质,虽然不能提供能量,也不能构成身体的任何部分或促进其生长,但它却是维持生命不可或缺的物质.缺乏某一种维生素就会造成相应的症状.但一般情况下,均衡的饮食会完全满足身体对于维生素的需求.

维生素是有机化合物,饮食中必须含有少量维生素以维持动物(包括人)的生存和正常生长.

各种维生素都很相似,因为它们由同样的元素构成,一般是碳,氢,氧,(45)有时还有氮.它们的不同之处(46)在于每种维生素内部的元素排列不同,并且每种维生素在人体内(47)都有一种或多种特殊作用.
虽然维生素对人体并无什么营养上的用处,但(48)吸收足够的维生素是必要的.尽管如此,有些人出于保险的想法,还是摄入(49)过量的维生素.(50)不过,均衡的饮食一般能够完全满足身体对维生素的需求.
答案详解
41.【答案及考生答对率】C,答对率为82%
【考核知识点】逻辑语意搭配
【解析】[A]either也等
[B]so也等
[C]nor也不
[D]never从不本段的前半句讲到维生素不能提供能量,是一个否定句,而后半句是倒装句,这要求选项既能引导倒装句,又能与前面的否定相呼应.
either,可以用在否定句中,但一般放在句尾,例如:Ididn'tgothere,either.so可以引导倒装句,但它用在肯定句中,如:Theycanhedinnernow,socanwe.他们现在可以用餐了,我们也能.nor也可以引导倒装句,但用在否定句中,如:Sistercan'tdoit,norcanI.姐姐不能做这件事,我也不能,not...nor...(既不等也不等)是一个固定结构,副词nor后面的句子倒装,如Hecan'twrite,norcanhespeak.他不会写也不会说.never也可以引导倒装句,表示否定,但它必须放在句首,如:NeverheIseensuchabeautifulhouseinmylife.所以选C.
42.【答案及考生答对率】D,答对率为54%
【考核知识点】动词词义辨析
【解析】[A]shifting(to)替换,转移
[B]tranerring(to)转移,传输,调动
[C]altering(to)(部分地,相对较小地)变动,变动
[D]tranorming(彻底地)改变,转化,可与into搭配,意为"把等变为等"
本句意为"维生素能够将食物转化为能量,以维持身体的健康".tranorm由一种形式变为另一种形式",它常与into搭配,强调的是"事物大的变革或质的改变".在此处指将一种物质转变为另一种完全不同的其他东西,从food(食物)到energy(能量)的转变是一种质的改变,因此,只有D合题意.
shift不与into搭配而与to搭配,如:Thewindshiftedtotheeast.风转向东吹.traner(trans前缀,与动词连用,表示进入另一处或状态)传递",多用于位置的改变,也与to搭配.如:Thebosstranerredthemtoanothercity.老板把他们调到另一个城市.alter强调部分或少量的变动,程度较轻,如:Twoofhissentencesaretoodifficult,theyshouldbealtered.他写的句子中有两个太难,得修改.以上的三个词都不是事物的质的改变.
43.【答案及考生答对率】A,答对率为65%
【考核知识点】不定代词的用法
【解析】[A]any任何一个/一种
[B]some一些
[C]anything任何事物
[D]something某些事物
该句是一个由and连接的并列句,前一个分句Therearethirteenormoreofthem中的them指的是vitamins,后一个分句是一个由if引导的条件状语从句.全句意为"如果缺乏维生素中的任何一种,其缺乏的症状就会表现出来."由于if引导的从句的谓语动词是单数,因此被选项只能是一个表示单数意义的不定代词.any一般用于否定或疑问句中,做主语时,谓语动词常用单数,如Anyofthechildreninthiskindergartoncansingmanysongs.这个幼儿园的任何一个孩子都会唱很多歌.some一般用于肯定句,做主语时的谓语动词用复数,如:Somearemyclasates.由于句中的missing具有否定意义,所以不能用some.anything与something都表示泛指.答案只能选A.
44.【答案及考生答对率】B,答对率为60%
【考核知识点】形容词词义辨析
【解析】[A]serious严重的,严肃的
[B]apparent显而易见的
[C]severe严重的,严厉的,严寒的
[D]fatal致命的
前面提到维生素的两大功能:将事物转化为能量以及维持生物的身体需要.因而,如果缺乏任意一种维生素,缺乏症就会表现出来.
四个选项表示的程度不同,从语意的角度来说都可以与disease相搭配.但根据上下文,这里需要填入一个词来准确描述疾病症状.serious,severe和fatal,这几个词都表示程度严重,甚至危及生命.但上下文都没有暗示缺乏一种维生素会导致严重的后果,因此,这三个词都不可作为被选项.而B项只是简单地描述了疾病的症状,为正确选项.
45.【答案及考生答对率】C,答对率为36%
【考核知识点】副词词义辨析
【解析】[A]mostly大部分,基本上,主要地
[B]partially部分地
[C]sometimes有时
[D]rarely很少本句破折号用来举例说明维生素的组成成分,句中用and表明各成分之间为并列关系,那么,选项应与前面的usually相呼应.usually是频度副词,因此,选项也应是频度副词.
mostly,如:Hiansconsistedmostlyofmiddle-agedpeople.他的歌迷主要是些中年人.partially如:Bothofthemarepartiallytoblamefortheaccident.他们俩那次车祸应负部分责任.mostly和partially不是频度副词,都指事物的组成成分.rarely,有否定含义,若用于此处则表示并列的连词and应改为表示转折关系的but.所以只有sometimes为正确选项.
46.【答案及考生答对率】A,答对率为81%
【考核知识点】逻辑关系
【解析】[A]inthat因为
[B]sothat以至于,为了,以便
[C]suchthat以至于
[D]exceptthat除了
上句提到各种维生素之间相似的原因,接着作者又提到维生素也是有区别的,从本段的结构我们可以得知,本句后半句会解释其不同的原因.而且,空格前面的different常与介词in连用,表示在哪一方面不同.
inthat如:Self-confidenceisnecessaryinthatithelpsustogainsuccess.自信是必要的,因为它能帮助我们获得成功.
sothat引导结果或目的状语从句,如:Takeataxisothatyoucangetthereby10.打出租去,以便十点钟能赶到.
suchthat不能连接两个完整的句子,一般与be动词连用,如:Theaccidentwassuchthatpolicefounditdifficulttosolve.事故如此严重,连交警也觉得难以解决.
such...that意为"以至",用来引导结果状语从句,如:Hisideawassuchagoodonethatthemanageragreedtouseit.他的主意非常好,所以经理同意采用.
exceptthat如:Histermpaperisperfectexceptthatsomehandwritingsareunrecognizable.除了有些字迹难辨之外,他的论文还是很完美的.
47.【答案及考生答对率】D,答对率为51%
【考核知识点】动词词义辨析
【解析】[A]undertakes承担,着手做(不与function搭配)
[B]holds握住,拥有,继续(不与function搭配)
[C]plays扮演(不与function搭配)
[D]performs执行,完成(与function搭配)
本句的句意为:它们的区别在于构成维生素的元素以不同方式排列,各种元素在人体内承担一种或更多的特殊功能.
解答本题的关 键 词是function.undertake如:undertakeamission/task承担使命/任务,hold如:holdalicience持有许可证,play如playarole/part"扮演等角色等",四选项中只有perform能与function搭配,即performafunction,表示"具有等的功能".另外,能与function搭配的动词还有fulfill,serve等.
48.【答案及考生答对率】B,答对率为67%
【考核知识点】动词词义辨析
【解析】[A]Supplying供给,供应
[B]Getting得到
[C]Providing提供
[D]Furnishing提供
在英语中,名词短语若做复合句的主句主语,其逻辑主语一般是从句的主语.本句是一个由although引导的让步状语从句,动名词的逻辑主语是thebody.
Supplying,Providing和Furnishing均表示"提供,供应",Getting意为"获取,获得".身体只能从食物中获取维生素,而不能自己提供维生素.因此,答案只能选B.
49.【答案及考生答对率】C,答对率为43%
【考核知识点】形容词词义辨析
【解析】[A]exceptional例外的
[B]exceeding超过的,胜过的
[C]excess过度的,过量的,额外的
[D]external外部的
主句提到获取足够维生素的必要性,由转折连词although引导的从句很可能要说明的是获取过量维生素对身体没有营养价值.
exceptional意为"例外的,异常的",如Allherdogsareactive,buttheyoungestisreallyexceptional.她的狗都很活泼,但最小那只个例外.exceeding意为"非常的,极度的,过度的",如:anexceedingdish"一道味道绝佳的菜肴".excess"额外的,多余的",external意为"外部的,客观的,外用的",如:theexternalcondition"客观条件".
50.【答案及考生答对率】A,答对率为36%
【考核知识点】连接词辨析
【解析】[A]nevertheless然而,不过
[B]therefore所以
[C]moreover并且,此外
[D]meanwhile同时
上句提到涉入过量维生素对身体没有营养价值,接着作者指出人们的心态,很多人为"安全"考虑而服用额外的维生素,很显然两句之间是逻辑转折关系,选择项应该是一个表示转折关系的词.nevertheless,显然为正确答案.其他三项:therefore表因果关系,moreover表示递进关系,meanwhile(等于atthesametime)表示时间关系,皆不能成为正确答案.

一个人若想实现自己的目标,就需要在心里设计一张蓝图,清楚自己有什么,真正想要什么.如同请朋友吃饭前列菜单,购物单和决定烹饪顺序,找工作前需要先写一份简历,列出自己的教育背景和工作经历等信息,清楚自己的能力和目标,从而有助于找到合适的工作岗位,也便于雇主判断这份工作你是否胜任.
全文精译,答案出处及重点词汇再现
谨慎的(tight-lipped)老人们过去常说"在这个世界上,重要的不是你想要什么,而是你能够得到什么."
心理学(psychology)教导人们,如果你知道你想要什么,并且你想要的东西又合乎情理,那么你就能会得到它.
在脑海里,你可以为你的愿望描绘一幅蓝图(blueprint),就像你绘制房屋的蓝图一样,日常生活中,我们每个人都在不断地描绘着这些蓝图.如果我们想请朋友吃饭,我们就要定菜谱,列购物清单(makeashoppinglist),并决定先做哪道菜.这样的计划对于举行的任何形式的饭局都是必不可少的.
同样,如果你想找份工作,就应该拿张纸,写一份自我简评(briefaccount).为找工作制订计划时,应该以自己的实际情况为出发点,因为只有当你确切地知道你可以提供什么时,你才可能明智地(intelligently)计划到哪儿去求职(sellyourservices).
实际上,你的这份自我评估是你工作经历的一个简介(sketch),应当包括你的受教育程度,经历以及证明材料(reference).这样的简历很有用.在填写正式申请表格(applicationblank)时可以作为参照,在面试时更是起极大的作用.在与你交谈时,你可能的(couldbe)雇主将根据你的受教育程度,工作经历以及其他资历(qualification)来确定你是否值得他雇用,因此你必须以相关的合理而有序的方式展现你的"商品"和能力.
当你为自己的能力和愿望仔细地筹划了一幅蓝图后,你就有了确切的(tangible)东西可推销了.这样你就可以找工作(huntforajob)了.你应当尽可能地收集所有有关你未来工作的信息.查询(makeinquiry)有关工作和公司的详细情况.保持耳目灵敏,运用自己的判断.每天花一定的时间寻找(seek)你想要的工作,并时刻记住:你现在的工作就是找份工作(secureajob).

第三段将话题缩小,说人的愿望需要好的规划(blueprint)才能实现.
第四段,文章用Likewise来进行过渡,切入主题,强调求职之前也需好好规划,写好求职申请.
后两段继续展开讨论.
