51、ng to tell you about the discussion weve had about the effect of Internet bars on our life._Yours sincerely,Liu Wei综合检测(三)1Dsimplify使简化;fancy想象,想要;imagine想象;solve解决。句意:这个问题超出了我们的能力,我们自己解决不了。2C句意:他每天跑步。因此,他体重已经减轻了,变得更健康了。however但是,然而;in fact事实上;as a result因此,结果;in other words换句话说。由句意可知C项正确。3B句意:这次野外研
52、究将花费琼和保罗大约5个月的时间。要很长时间我们才会再相见。由语境可知,此处为固定句式It will be时间段before.意为“要多久才”,故B项正确。4B句意:新技术的应用大大提高了生产。usage用法;application运用,应用;knowledge知识;research调查,研究。5A句意:许多人对他的话评价很高,但就个人而言,我认为他只是在炫耀自己而已。personally意为“就个人而言;亲自地”,在句中作状语。generally一般地;especially尤其地,特别地;specially特别地,专门地。6B句意:据估计,这个工程一旦完成,这个城市的房价将下降10%。 nu
53、mber达到数;calculate估计,计算;include包含,包括;design设计。结合句意可知选B。7B句意:很有可能正如你所说,我不适合当老师,但是无论如何,我要试试。somehow“以某种方法;莫名其妙地”;anyhow“无论如何;即使如此”;therefore“因此,所以”;otherwise“否则;要不然”。由句意可知,B项符合题意。8C句意:专家们正在地震灾区进行探测,试图找到地震是怎样发生的。explore意为“探索,探测,探究”,符合题意。watch“观看”;notice“注意到”;survive“幸免,幸存;生还”。9A句意:随着中国经济的发展,出现了很多意想不到的问题
54、,如房价和日用品价格的急速上升。arise“问题出现,发生”; rise不及物动词“上升”。10Ain a way的含义是“在某种程度上”;in this way的含义是“用这种方式”;in the way的含义是“挡路”;on the way的含义是“在路上”,一般不用冠词a。此处用in a way,表示“在某种程度上这是我们犯的最大的错误”。11A考查“the比较级,the比较级”结构,该结构表示“越,越”。12Dwork在此作“工作”讲,是不可数名词,不能与a连用;goal是可数名词,所以前面用不定冠词a,a common goal意思是“一个共同的目标”。13CEnglish与谓语动词
55、simplify之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态,同时根据I think you will have no difficulty understanding it可知,simplify所表示的动作已经完成,故用现在完成时。14C句意:展览会上有很多令人激动的电子玩具,比如机器人,在那里孩子们一定会觉得很有趣。electronic“电子的”,符合题意。logical“合乎逻辑的”;universal“普遍的,通用的”;personal“私人的;个人的”。15D可视为“No,she isnt.But she was a dancing teacher.”之省略,其意为“她现在不是舞蹈教师,但她过去是
56、”。此题也可以这样回答:No,but she used to be。16C尽管比较慢,但email一定会渗入“我们的生活”。17A根据上下文的叙述可知email对大学生来说是一种非常有用的工具。valuable 意为“有价值的,有用的”;changeable 意为“易变的”;favorable 意为“有利的,赞成的”;usable 意为“可用的”。由句意可知选A。18A我们随时都可以使用email,一天24小时,一周7天,甚至是在节假日。19B根据上下文可知,此处应表示因果关系。20D“和保持联系”应用“keep in touch with”。21A此空前的“to”为介词,与前面的“from”
57、是连用在一起的,即“from.to.”从到,故此处应用动名词。结合句意“熟悉了解世界大事”可知应选A项。22Caccident指意外事故;incident指小事件;event 常指大事件,重要事件。23D上文所叙述的都是email的优势。结合下文以及本空前but 的转折,知应选D项。24Acost 与take 的主语通常为sth.或it,而不用sb.,而pay意为“付款”。故选A项。25D此句意为:你可能会花费很多时间来写邮件或回复邮件,而此时你本来应该忙于看书准备考试的。所以此处需要用when引导时间状语从句。when在此意为“在那时”。26D根据文意,此处是转折的意思。but 后接句子常不
58、用逗号。otherwise意为“否则,要不然”,不符合文意。however 无论从意思上还是结构上都是最合适的。27Asuch as 用于列举,而for example用于举例子,所以结合文意应选A项。28C表示“充满的,装满的”可以用be filled(up)with或be full of。29A结合文意,此处肯定是表示查找重要的邮件。necessary必要的;practical实际的,实用的。30D作为学生,时间应是最宝贵的。31D通常都是先将邮件放入邮件夹里。32A首先回复最重要的信件。然后,“若”有时间的话,可以再回复其他的。33Cdiscourage名词(人)from doing 为
59、固定用法,意为“打消(某人)要做的念头”。34Dexamine,check up,find 都意味着你肯定要看这些信息,所以与下文相矛盾。35B“立即”删去,这样你就不会想着去读了。36D细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“When he died in 1931,Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him.One suggestion was that the nation observes a minute or two of total blackout.”可知人们在他去世时想表示对他的尊敬。故选D。37D
60、细节理解题。根据第一段中“Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him.One suggestion was that the nation observes a minute or two of total blackout.All electric power would be shut off in homes,streets,and factories.”可知有人建议全国大断电。故选D。38B细节理解题。根据第二段“Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans
61、realize fully what Edision and his invention meant to them.Electric power was too important to the country.”可知人们充分认识到电的重要和爱迪生的贡献。故选B。39D主旨大意题。根据第三段第二句“In this way they honored the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his country peoples fingertips.”40A主旨大意题
62、。文章的每一段都谈到了 Internet,所以我们可以推断文章的主要内容是 Internet。41B细节理解题。在第2段中谈到 You can send emails to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds,相比其他选项,Email 当然是最快的。42C细节理解题。最后一段的第2句讲到 Its possible for you to work at home with a computer in front,所以明天我们极有可能在家工作了。43D推理判断题。根据全文我们得知,我们可以在 school, libraries,
63、 home 等地方使用 Internet,所有的拥有者是大家,并不是某一个人或某一行业的从业者。44B细节理解题。由第二段第二句“Her name appeared on a few Xrated sites when her mother had Googled her out of curiosity.”可知B为正确答案。45D细节理解题。由第三段中“.judged not so much by their accomplishments but how Googleable those accomplishments are.”可知答案为D。46A细节理解题。由最后一段第四句“And a
64、s it turned out,porn star Eve might not have actually existed.”可知答案。47C细节理解题。文章的第一段中,作者叙述了乘客在坐长途车中所见的是广告牌。48A目的意图题。全文都是作者表述对乘车长途旅行中的广告的意见和看法。49D推理判断题。从第三段作者对“长途乘车中广告太多”所表达的情况看,作者不太喜欢沿途的广告牌。50B细节理解题。由文章第一段第一句和第二句可知答案为B。5155CFBEG短文改错Once upon a time there was a boy who was fond of reading.However,he w
