64、一句:亚当斯最负盛名的还是她作为Hull House的创始人。23.词义推测题。解答本题除了考虑上下文外还应考虑到搭配问题,Her dedication to improving.相当于Her commitment to improving。24.细节题。根据第2段第4、5、6句可知,十九世纪八十年代,简亚当斯去欧洲旅游,参观了伦敦的Toynbee Hall。受此启发,于1899年在芝加哥的贫民窟附近创办了Hull House。【答案】2124BBCD第一节 B【解析】25.细节题。广告的最后一段提到市内可提供运货服务。26.细节题。物主1月1日将离开这个国家,即移居海外。27.推断题。看到旧
65、货转手广告后,詹姆斯发送邮件询问转手物品的详细情况。【答案】2527ABA第一节 C【解析】28.细节题。根据第1段“The next generation of robots will be able to see objects, will have a sense of touch, and will make critical decisions”可知,机器人能够“看见”很重要,是因为他们能做出重大决定。29.推断题。本文的最后一段谈到未来机器人的能力和在工业上的广泛用途,而且机器人产业还会继续发展,当然也会有利可图,这一切都说明机器人将在未来的产业中占据主导地位,所以对工业感兴趣的人
66、将不得不去了解机器人。30.词义推测题。 第2段中两次出现“defective”这个词,从上文“其他工程师们正在编写新程序让机器人在成品中剔除一些零部件”可以推测出。很显然,不会让机器人去剔除好的零部件,肯定是要剔除坏的、有缺陷的零部件,所以可以断定defective是“有缺陷的;有瑕疵的”意思。31.主旨题。本文第1句就开门见山地说出了本文的中心思想,它是主题句即 Future robots will see, touch, and think,随后文章具体地说明了机器人将会拥有的这些能力。【答案】2831BCCB第一节 D【解析】32.推断题。根据第1段的最后一句可知,他们认为妇女尤其是生
67、育期的妇女,阻碍了经济的发展,结果导致生产效率低,质量差。因此可以断定:他们认为妇女应该回家的理由是妇女们工作会对经济的发展有不利的影响。33.细节题。根据第2段的第1句可知,他们建议:如果妇女辞职,她们家庭中的男性雇员应当挣双份工资。34.推断题。文章最后一段告诉我们,妇女可以在怀孕七个月的时候请假,一直到孩子三岁的时候再来上班。35.细节题。根据最后一段中“It suggests that women on leave receive 75 percent of their normal salary and be allowed to return to work after the 3
68、-year period”可知,妇女在此期间她的收入比平常要低。【答案】3235CCDD第二节【解析】【答案】3640EDCFB第三部分 第一节【解析】41.考查形容词。作者原以为在咖啡店的兼职工作会很轻松,此题依据在下文,下文提到了一些顾客要求多,爱抱怨。42.考查动词。作者未曾预料到的是咖啡店有些爱挑剔的顾客。43.考查动词。一些男顾客要求咖啡反复煮直到达到他们认为的完美程度。reach the level of“达到程度”。44.考查副词。尽管如此(指顾客很挑剔),作者还是坚持做这份兼职工作。45.考查形容词。答题依据在下文,根据下文提到作者对这位老顾客的关心之语可知答案。46.考查名词
