參考答案:
1. C 第一段第一個句子是主題句,說的是:Eric Brown討厭買東西。因此“shopping”是合適的選擇。
2. A 語境是這樣的:當我出去買東西時,我基本上已經知道我要買什么。我沖了進去,買了后……顯然,填入“getout”(出去)是連貫的。“stayin”是“在家里呆著”,“look round”是“環顧”,“move about”是“閑蕩”,不難看出,這些都不是合適的選擇。
3。 B 第二段的第一個句子說的是:一般的認識認為,男人討厭買東西。第三句的起始詞是“But”,它告訴我們意思將發生轉折,因而“challenging”是合適的選擇。“confirming”是“確認”的意思,“proving”是“證明”,“supporting”是“支持”。
4. A 第三段的第一個句子引自紐約城市大學社會學教授Sharon Zukin的話,大意是:……在社會階層、種族特點、年齡上是有差異的,男人都說他們討厭買東西。可以看出,合適的選擇是“Regardless of”(不管),“Because of”,“Owing to”,“Thanks to”都表示“原因”,插入后意思上是不連貫的。
5. B 緊接著第三段第一個句子的后一個句子由“Yet”起始, 這個詞提示我們由它引導的句子在意思上跟上一個句子構成對比。由于上一個句子說的是“男人們討厭買東西”,那么這個句子應當說的是男人們實際上是喜歡買東西的。因此,“like”是合適的選擇。
6. D 從下文的“music”(音樂),“hardware”(硬件)判斷,“coats”(外套),pants(褲子),socks(襪子)都不是合適的選擇,因為它們都不能與“music”和“hardware”構成一個比較自然的類別,所以惟有“books”是合適的選擇。另外,緊隨其后的一句話中也出現了“books”這個詞,這是提示。
7. D 該題問的是:男人們不把買書和音樂制品看做是購物,那么他們把它看做是什么呢?從下面的三段提供的信息來看,“research”(研究)比“relaxation”(放松),“rest”(休息),“exercise”(鍛煉)更合適一點。
8. D 該題問的是:男人們和女人們在稱之為“買東西”和行事方式上都會怎么樣?所在的句子實際上是對前面文章的總結。所以合適的選擇是“different”。 “similar”(相似的)、 “contradictory”(矛盾的)和“inclusive”(兼容的)都不構成答案。職稱英語教材
9. A 買東西是需要來回看的, 這是常識。另外,緊隨其后的句子中也用了“wander”(漫游)這個詞。
lO. D 上文中出現了“perfect”(完美的)。注意:文章始終在把男人與女人做比較。因此此處也應用“perfect”。 ’
11. D 注意緊隨其后的動詞不定式“to be won’’(贏得),只能是“game”(游戲)。“won”在語義上搭配的
12.C 這個句子要表達的是:這會使得他們快樂。“makes”是正確的。如果用.‘‘bdngs”,須改原文:it brings them happiness.或it brings happiness to them.如用“causes”,也須改原文:it causes them to become happy.“it keeps them happy.”是可以說的,但它的意思是:他們原來就快樂。但是,是否如此?文章沒有說。
13.A “nobody”,“no one”和“anybody”用于否定的語境。但該句子提供的不是一種否定的語境,因此,正確的選擇是“everybody”。
14.C 至此文章都是在說男女之間的差別,因而“division”是理想的選擇。整個句子說的是:事實上,在服裝方面最能清楚地把男女區分開來。“competition”是“競爭”,“comparison”是“比較”,“confrontation”是“對抗”。
15.D 對許多男人來說,選擇的范圍越窄,買衣服越方便。因此“narrow”(窄)是合適的選擇
