27、用，善处逆境”。A.离开；逃脱，C.集中注意力于，D.赶上，均不符合句意。答案：B3解析：考查短语辨析。句意为：除了你自己，我们中任何一个人都不能决定你去上哪所大学。A项意为“超过，不仅仅”；B项意为“除了”；C项意为“而不是”；D项意为“比更好”。根据句意可知，答案选B。答案：B4解析：考查动词短语辨析。句意为：最近的一项研究得出一个意外结论，非洲象应被分成两个不同种类。keep up with跟上；make up with和好；catch up with追上；come up with提出。答案：D5解析：下句意为：依我来看，与其说你的儿子笨倒不如说他懒。more.than与其说倒不如说，符
28、合句意，故C项正确。答案：C6解析：考查代词。when it comes to sth.当涉及某事时，为固定结构，此处to是介词，后接名词或者动名词，故C项正确。答案：C7解析：考查连词。句意为：当你所想的一切就是让那个人幸福，即使你并不是他们幸福的一部分，那么你懂的这就是爱了。根据句意可知，此处应用even if即使，虽然。as if好像；if only但愿；if ever假如。答案：A8解析：句意为：根据我奶奶的说法，感冒时喝鸡汤是个好主意。信不信由你，科学家们与她的看法相同。sooner or later迟早；once in a while时不时地；to be exact确切地说；bel
29、ieve it or not信不信由你。根据上下文可知，believe it or not符合语境。答案：D9解析：主要考查动词不定式的时态与语态。从句意看，整个动作发生在将来，to play作a role的定语，其间存在着逻辑上的动宾关系，又与句中的each of us存在着逻辑上的主谓关系，故动词不定式用主动形式表示被动意义。动词不定式to play意指将来的动作；to have played意指已经完成的动作；to be playing则强调动词不定式动作正在进行。答案：B10解析：考查动词词义辨析。句意为：奥普拉，美国电视脱口秀的王后，被认为是当今世界最有影响力的女性之一。be rec
30、ognized as.被认为是。答案：B11解析：考查情态动词。mustnt表示不准、禁止之意；may表推测。答案：C12解析：考查动词的时态。句意为：昨天我碰巧遇到莉莉了。真幸运！你们已经两年没有见面了。根据句意可知，两年没有见面是在昨天碰巧见面之前，表示过去的过去，故用过去完成时。答案：B13解析：根据improving和day by day可知，琳达的身体在一天天“逐渐地(gradually)”康复。frequently频繁地；fluently流利地；actually实际上，均不符合语境。答案：B14解析：当such与some，other，these/those，no等代词连用时，suc
31、h置于这些代词之后；no修饰名词时，相当于not a或者not any，故其后不再使用冠词。答案：C15解析：句意为：众所周知，袋鼠是澳大利亚所特有的，并且经常被看作澳大利亚的国宝之一。sth.is native to.表示“某物原产于某地；某物是所特有的”。答案：B.阅读理解语篇解读父母应与孩子一起参与有意义的活动，通过和孩子一起学习、运动等，可以增加与孩子交流的机会，从而增进感情。1解析：篇章结构题。作者在第一段提出问题后，紧接着在第二段提出自己的观点，因此第一段提出问题是为了引出要讨论的话题，故选C。答案：C2解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中Pyper Dixon所说的“they star
32、t sharing things and talking about what theyre doing and what they like”可知，Dixon认为父母同孩子一起上美术课的好处是可以增进交流。答案：B3解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“He always leaves it to the last minute”可知，Lauren的父亲总是拖着不做作业，此处表示Lauren敦促父亲完成作业。答案：A4解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后两句话可知，Dennis喜欢与Lauren一起上美术课。答案：B语篇解读中国作家莫言获得诺贝尔文学奖激起了全球对中国文学的兴趣，更多的中国作品
33、被译成英语。这是中国在全球的影响力不断加大的结果。5解析：词义猜测题。根据下文可知，此处表示“中国作家莫言获得诺贝尔文学奖激起了全球对中国文学的兴趣”，故ignite与set off同义，表示“引发，激起”。答案：C6解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“As EastWest cultural exchange has been booming，Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention in recent years.”可知，正是东西方文化交流的繁荣才使得中国文学受到越来越多的关注。答案：D7解析：正误判断题。根据最后一段中的“The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature is the growing global presence of China itself.”可知，是中国在全球的影响力，即中国的发展使得中国文学能在世界范围内得以传播。答案：A8解析：句意理解题。根据画线部分的前后句可知，此处表示“中国对欧美了解甚多而欧美则相反，对中国了解偏少”。the other way round意为“相反地”。答案：B
