8、C 1115 BP, CAC 1620 AADBD解析:这是一篇说明文,讲述了人类脸部特征的独特性,同时谈到描绘人物性格要比描绘脸部容易一些。3本空后面有一个定语从句that makeone hce different fromanother使一张脸不同于另一张腔,是脸部的特征造成了这一点,选features特点di“erences不同;parts部分,qualitles质量,都不能造成这种不同。4前文说到小孩子,后面又列举鸽子为例,说明连动物都能识别不同的脸,这是选择后再递进,选orevenand also,and too并且也,把人与动物并列是不对的;and then然后,转移到动物也是不
9、对的5take.for granted是固定搭配,意思是“认为某事属实”。7所谓一个人行为、说话、思想、感觉与别人不同,是指方式的不同,选the ways。而不是manners举止,礼貌;idelis想法;patterns类型的不同。这种方式的不同使一个人不同于另一个人。8make使得。方式cause不会“引起”这种不同,不能选。9人类性格是很复杂的,选complex复杂的。说到单个人可以用speclal特别的,但总的来说不能用它 opposite相反的,表示情况相反;mysterious神秘的,很片面。14在此列举的性格都是很好的方面,选conslderate考虑周到,与其他列举的词一致。c
10、ruel残忍,与列举词不一致;anxious着急,fond喜欢(不表示性格,只表示感情)。10前面说到有18 000个英语单词区别人物行为的不同,也就是说我们有这些词,就掌握了情况,才有了判断标准,所以选in-formatlon情况。20本句前面列举了一些不同术语,称呼不同人物,这些术浯就是terms。noulls指名词,含意太广泛。6In about 250 BC, the Greek scientist Archimedes was asked by King Hieron to find out if his crown was 1 gold.

18、辛格为他做的准备工作。这两个历史事件没有什么联系,但其中都用了Eureka。由此使我们体会到这个词的意义。2上句中说Archimedes已经思考了很久,现在坐在澡盆中,突然想起了什么,在这种情况下,他想起的一定与解决问题有关。选Rnswer答案。news消息,应该发生在他知道这件事之前;他并不是在思考用什么“词”,word不对;way是指他去实施时所遵循的“方法”,也不合适。9前面是avessel容器,后面的成分修饰它,根据阿基米德定律我们知道,这个容器是充满水的,选filled。7此空仍要根据间基米德定律:物体的重量与它所椿出液体的重量相等。要选weight重量10Archimedes想出了
19、解决办法非常高兴,喊出Eureka!,这当然是希腊语,童思是“我找到答案了”。选found发现。找到。decided(决定)与他的情况不符合;同时答案不是“制造”made或“做出来的“done。11Archimedes一生有过许多重大发现,选discoveries发现。他肯定做过expertments实验,进行过researches研究,有过progress进步,但这些都不是他出名的原因,不是他的成就,所以不选。15Kissinger在报告中告诉Nixon,他们已经把铺垫做好,ground work是指基础工作。他们不可能把全部工作都傲了,所以不选complete完全的。17这是历史情况,当年Kissinger秘密来中国与周恩柬接触,安排毛泽东与尼克松见面,所以要选secret秘密的。20Kissinger后来又带先遣队来中国,为尼克松访华做好一切准备工作,此处应遗prepare for准备。他不会只是wait for等待,ask for请求或寻找look for。w.w.w.k.&s.5*u.c.#om高.考.资.源.网高考资源网w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.mw.w.w.k.&s.5*u.c.#om高.考.资.源.网高考资源网w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
