  • 第3题:

    [A] a dangerous moment

    [B] the last decision

    [C] the crucial point

    [D] a brave engagement


    正确答案:C
    本题考查词义理解。crisis一词出现在全文最后一句。该句指出它是一个点(point)。由其上文即倒数第二句可知,在这个点上主人公会完成一个行为或者做出一个决定,这个决定必然使他进入进一步发展轨迹(造成某些一般结果的点)。可见,crisis指的是戏剧中决定情节发展的关键性的转折点,而不是“时刻”、“决定”或“约定”。[C]正确。

  • 第5题:

    Judging from the context, the phrase "wreaking havoc" ( Line 2, Para.2) most probably means( )

    [A] generating motivation

    [B] exerting influence

    [C] causing damage

    [D] creating pressure


    正确答案:C
    通过上下文判断,短语“wreaking havoc”(第二段第二行)最可能意为
    [A]产生动机   
    [B]施加影响   
    [C]制造伤害   
    [D]创造压力
    答案解析:[C]语义理解题。本题可定位到第二段。通过上下文可以知道此种婚姻模式是“男性在外健谈,但回家后保持沉默”,接着第三段第二旬说道“一位社会学家在她的新书中指出,大多数女性认为离婚的罪魁祸首是缺少交流”。据此可判断,这种相处模式对于婚姻来说是有害的,故[C]正确。其他几项文中均未提及,故排除。

    正确答案: C

    一个句子不能用“and”开始,所以C项可排除。因为这个句子与之前表述的思想既不形成对比也不是前面句子的进一步阐释,所以B和E项错误。因为之前的句子讨论的是龙虾的保护,而不是“breeding”,所以A项错误。只有D项合适。
