14、ong, the U.S. and Russia_ the top three outside.A. claimedB. to be claimedC. claimingD. being claimed【答案】C【解析】句意:成群的顾客加入了阿里巴巴的光棍节,香港、美国和俄罗斯成为(大陆)以外的前三甲。Hong Kong, the U.S. and Russia是claim的动作执行者,应用现在分词短语与修饰词构成独立主格结构。故判断选C。7.It might have_your notice but I am very busy at the moment.A. quitB. neglect

20、had to bend down to hear_ I wanted to buy.A. what it wasB. it was whatC. what it was thatD. what was that【答案】C【解析】我的声音太小了以致于店主弯下腰来听我确实想买什么。Hear后的宾语从句使用的强调句型,强调的是what,宾语从句应用陈述语序。故判断选C。14.Mr. Smith let off upon me the speech he_ to make all along.A. had diedB. diedC. was dyingD. had been dying【答案】D【解析
21、】【详解】考查动词时态。句意:史密斯先生向我不断练习一个他一直就渴望做的演讲。本句正常语序是:Mr. Smith let off the speech he_ to make all along upon me。Let off本意是:开枪,这里引申为“不断练习”,upon表示说话的对像。看四个选项,可以断定这是考查时态。考查时态,一看时态标志词,二看动作的先后顺序。时态标志词all along,这是进行时的标志,一般还有the whole day/night, all the ime等;let off动作发生在过去。先后顺序:先准备演讲die to make the speech,然后是let
22、 off的过去的动作,所以die to这个动作是发生在过去的过去,应用过去完成进行时。be dying to do sth.“非常渴望做某事”。故选D。15. Do you know the newly appointed CEO?-_.A. Ill check itB. Only that there is oneC. More often than notD. It will come to me【答案】B【解析】句意:-你认识新任CEO吗?-我只知道有这么个人。B项是省略句,原句是:I only (know) that there is one. A项意为我要核查一下。C项意为-常常。D
23、项意思要结合不同语境来确定,可翻译为:我会得到它。故判断选B。第二节:完形填空(共20小题,每小题1分,共20分)Why do young adult children become independent so much later than they did in 1970,when the average age of independent living was_16_?

She was very well-dressed, carrying a Prada bag with tastefully applied make-up indeed, she had an unmistakable air of wealth, material success and even authority. I suspected she worked as a highly-paid Wall Street lawyer or stockbroker or somethi
50、ng of that sort. So, I was curious to see what she was so focused on. The Wall Street Journal perhaps? The Economist?Quite the contrary; rather, she was concentrating on a romance novel. Then I realized that I have known many women who love romance novelssmart, attractive, successful, “liberated,” m
51、odern females who nonetheless find some kind of deep satisfaction and thrill from those hyper-romantic, artificial and extremely unrealistic tales of handsome, manly heroes falling in love with virginal women, enduring a series of adventures, then no doubt having a happy ending.These romance stories
52、 are to literature what hot dogs are to fine food. Yet, the genre(体裁) remains enormously popular. Consider some of these surprising statistics from the good folks at the Romance Writers of America (RWA):*More than 9,000 romance titles were released last year, with sales of about $1.44 billion (more
53、than triple the taxes produced by classic literary fiction).*More than 90 percent of the market are women (okay, thats not at all surprising).* Readers are typically women between the ages 30 and 54 who are themselves involved in a romantic relationship (betraying the stereotype that only lonely wom
54、en long for these tales of love and adventure).*Almost 40 percent of romance book consumers have an annual income of between $50,000 and $99,900 (placing them firmly in the middle class).I had thought that romance novels accounted for a very small share of the literary market, so I was quite surpris
55、ed that this part has such enormous popularity. But I must wonder why so many womenforty years after the womens liberation movementcontinue to enjoy themselves in the fanciful tales?Im not sure if it represents a kind of “rejection” of the womens liberation movement, but clearly something is missing
56、 in the lives of contemporary ladies. A romance author named Donna Hatch who focuses on the Regency period (early 19th century Britain) explained the appeal of such books this way: “Regency men were civilized and treated women with courtesy. When a lady entered the room, gentlemen stood, doffed thei
57、r hats, offered an arm, bowed, and a hundred other little things I wish men still did today. But they were also very athletic; they hunted, raced, boxed, rode horses. They were manly. Strong. Noble. Honorable. And that is why I love them!”Mrs. Hatch may have expressed the secret desires and attitude
58、s of untold millions of her peersthat is, in the early 21st century, have women grown tired of the burdens and expectations that the “freedoms” they have gained give them? Is this a rejection of modern feminism? Do women long for days of old when men were masculine gentlemen and women were feminine
59、and protected as precious treasures and regarded as possessions?Perhaps most women (even the ones who get lost in romance novels) do not want to go all the way back but it is obvious,_38_.38. What is the function of the opening paragraph?A. To summarize the whole passage.B. To prove the authors argu
60、ment.C. To lead in the main topic of the passage.D. To raise problems that will be solved later.39. What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph imply?A. Romance novels are satisfying and thrilling.B. Romance novels are not of much “nutrition”.C. Romance novels are as popular as hot dogs
61、.D. Romance novels are an essential part of contemporary life.40. In the authors opinion, what is missing in the lives of contemporary women?A. Authority.B. Dignity.C. Liberty.D. Care.41 Which sentence can be put in the blank in the last paragraph?A. they prefer tales of innocent romance to classics
62、B. they are unhappy with how the world has turned outC. true love described in romance novels does exist in realityD. romance novels provide them with an access to society【答案】38. C 39. B 40. D 41. B【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,作者由在地铁上偶遇一个读言情小说女士入手,由此引出下文对现代女性喜欢读言情小说的思考。【38题详解】推理判断题。第一段讲述的是作者在地铁上与一个看言情小说的女士相遇,由此引出
63、下文对现代女性喜欢读言情小说的思考,第一段的例子就是为了引出下文,故C项正确。【39题详解】猜测词义题。该句的意思是言情小说对文学来说就像热狗对好的食物一样,再结合后面的“Yet, the genre remains enormously popular.”可知,此处是说言情小说没有营养,却非常流行,故B项正确。【40题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第三段内容,特别是“Regency men were civilized and treated women with courtesy.”可知言情小说中的男士文明礼貌地对待女士,这也是言情小说受女性欢迎的原因,由此可见,当代女性生活中正在消失的是关爱
64、,故D项正确。【41题详解】推理判断题。根据空格处前的“Perhaps most women (even the ones who get lost in romance novels) do not want to go all the way back”可知,此处是解释当代女性沉溺于言情小说的原因,即她们对现在的世界感到不满,故B项正确。【点睛】阅读理解中填写句子的题型比较少见,但具有一定的难度,考查学生对语篇逻辑关系和语篇大意的理解,但也不是没有技巧,比如本篇阅读理解中第4题,由空白处前的内容可知空白处是解释当代女性沉溺于言情小说的原因,那么B项中的表示态度的unhappy就是答题的关键
