  • 第1题:

    What does Ms. Oguro indicate about New Century, New Business? (  )

    A.It is Anne Narazaki's first book
    B.It is published by Rotaro incorporated
    C.John Gilliam helped write a section of it
    D.Anne Narazaki wrote it at Poynter Technologies

    答案:A
    解析:
    “…to congratulate you on the publication of your first book,"该句表明:“New Century,New Business”这本书是“Anne Narazaki”的第一本书。B、D两项不能从原文中得到,C选项错误,因为“John Gilliam”只是为这本书写了“Reviews”。所以本题答案应为A。

  • 第2题:

    问答题
    What does the word “piquant” in the last paragraph probably mean?

    正确答案: Interesting.
    解析:
    语义理解题。文章首段提到,在Virginius看来,妻子除了缺少一点令人心动的脆弱之外可以说是堪称完美。之后又表示这样的完美减少了很多乐趣,尤其是爱情的乐趣。文章尾段与首段相互呼应,提到即便是最不挑剔的丈夫也希望妻子具有一些piquant的品质,而不仅仅是善良。由此可以推断,piquant应该是一种让人觉得有趣的品质,而Victoria所缺少的正是这种品质。

    D

    Answer


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    结合原文第四段中的“Andi pulled out her phone to contact her husband, Jason, but he didn’t respond”可知,此处表达的是转折关系。她掏出手机联系她的丈夫,但是她的丈夫没有接电话,因此respond在这里表示“回复,回应”。故正确答案为D项。

    What does “In rude health” in the first sentence of paragraph 3 probably mean?

    正确答案: Strong and healthy.
    解析:
    语义理解题。由题干关键词可定位到文章第三段第一句,即该段的主题句。随后通过列举SCI、斯图尔特企业的例子说明他们都面临着困难。由此可见,整个殡葬业的形势不容乐观。因此该段首句要表达的也正是这一层含义。由此可以推断,in rude health应该表示“情况好”之意。

    正确答案: B
    解析:

    解析:
    语义题。根据题干定位至原文最后一段。该段前两句说到:You can imagine the sibling rivalry in all its permutations. Eventually I took haven in the written word to get away from it.从第一句的rivalry一词可以看出作者与弟弟妹妹间的竞争,而第二句的to get away from it说明了作者读书的目的就是为了逃避这种竞争。由此便可推知shelter“避难所”是正确答案。

    The word “sprawl” in the first paragraph indicates that______.
    A

    the landscape of Orange County is of little variety,

    B

    parts of Orange County extend untidily in different directions.

    C

    Orange County is located in a plain of considerable size.

    D

    Orange County is located in a mountainous area.


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    语义理解题。由题干定位到文章第一段,sprawl一词在该段出现了两次,第一次在“the Los Angeles sprawl”中作动名词,第二次在“sprawling Orange County”中作动词,根据meet一词可知,以上所涉及的两处为两个不同的地区,且是两个区域向外延伸的边缘地带; 此外,该段首句还提到,沿着大道,三进三出Cerritos;且sprawl一词原意为“随意地摊开四肢”,由以上几点可以推测出sprawl在此处意为“凌乱地展开”,故本题答案为B项。
