07年6月真题

Historically, humans get serious about avoiding disasters only after one has just struck them. __62__ that logic, 2006 should have been a breakthrough year for rational behavior. With the memory of 9/11 still __63__ in their minds, Americans watched hurricane Katrina, the most expensive disaster in U.S. history, on __64__ TV. Anyone who didn’t know it before should have learned that bad things can happen. And they are made __65__ worse by our willful blindness to risk as much as our __66__ to work together before everything goes to hell.

  Granted, some amount of delusion (错觉) is probably part of the __67__ condition. In A.D. 63, Pompeii was seriously damaged by an earthquake, and the locals immediately went to work __68__, in the same spot-until they were buried altogether by a volcano eruption 16 years later. But a __69__ of the past year in disaster history suggests that modern Americans are particularly bad at __70__ themselves from guaranteed threats. We know more than we __71__ did about the dangers we face. But it turns __72__ that in times of crisis, our greatest enemy is __73__ the storm, the quake or the __74__ itself. More often, it is ourselves.

  So what has happened in the year that __75__ the disaster on the Gulf Coast? In New Orleans, the Army Corps of Engineers has worked day and night to rebuild the flood  walls. They have got the walls to __76__ they were before Katrina, more or less. That’s not __77__, we can now say with confidence. But it may be all __78__ can be expected from one year of hustle (忙碌)。

  Meanwhile, New Orleans officials have crafted a plan to use buses and trains to __79__ the sick and the disabled. The city estimates that 15,000 people will need a __80__ out. However, state officials have not yet determined where these people will be taken. The __81__ with neighboring communities are ongoing and difficult.

62.A) To     B) By    C) On     D) For

介词辨析。通过对前句的分析理解,知道人性的本质-只有在遭受了痛苦之后才会重视痛苦,于是后句紧跟的连词应该是表示解释说明,而to为到怎么的程度,on为在...上面,for为因果连词,只有by可以表示通过,by rules/standard/logic/rate。

63.A) fresh    B) obvious  C) apparent   D) evident

词义辨析。考生初看本题以为考察的是obvious, apparent, evident的词义辨析,三个词都表示明显的意思,但是根据文章的意思,此处应该是表示记忆犹新的意思,因此只有一个fresh表示的是新鲜,固定表达fresh memory。

64.A) visual   B) vivid     C) live     D) lively

词义辨析。本题考察更多的是常识性的问题。Live这个单词除了有生活的意思之外,还有现场直播的意思。而剩余的混淆项完全是在误导大家,visual为视觉的,vivid为生动活泼的,lively为活泼的意思。

65.A) little    B) less    C) more   D) much

此题纯考逻辑。they 指前面的bad things.句子结构是sth is made worse by sth. blindness是盲目的意思,willful指任性。在比较级前面添加副词,只能用副词原级,不能再用比较级。B和C显然错误。根据文章的感情色彩,文章表示的是贬义,在嘲笑人们喜欢做马后炮的事情,因此用much不用little.

66.A) reluctance    B) rejection  C) denial    D) decline

词义辨析。Reluctance不情愿,rejection拒绝 denial否定 decline 拒绝。BCD是绝对意义词,只有A是相对意义词。在大难临头之前,人们不愿意合作。

67.A) natural    B) world   C) social    D) human

形容词辨析。考察固定搭配human condition.该词组表示人的生存条件的意思。

68.A) revising    B) refining  C) rebuilding     D) retrieving

Revising修订,refining提炼,rebuilding重建,retrieving重新得到。地震之后要干什么呢?当然就是重建了。这种题目关键是看句子前面的连词and.

69.A) review     B) reminder  C) concept      D) prospect

Review回顾,reminder提醒,暗示,concept概念,prospect希望。句子开头一个强转折BUT,表示后面要说的和前面的内容是相反的意思。同时,后面有一个history,通过这个单词就知道前面用review。

70.A) preparing   B) protesting  C) protecting     D) prevailing

固定搭配。 protect  sb.  from sth 保护某人免受某事。Prepare准备,protest示威,prevail流行,成功。

71.A) never     B) ever  C) then        D) before

对于我们所面临的灾难,我们比以前知道的更多。本句中did是用助动词取代实意动词know。因此这里的连词只能用ever表示以前,而before做副词时一定放在句末或后跟名词。

72.A) up      B) down  C) over     D) out

此题又是考固定搭配。Turn out that/ turn out to be sth 结果表明,证明。Turn up调高音量,出场亮相,turn down调底音量拒绝,turn over推翻政府

73.A) merely     B) rarely  C) incidentally    D) accidentally

本题涉及两组词,一个是merely和rarely,merely表示仅仅,只不过的意思,rarely表示极少,罕有的意思。incidentally非主流的,附带的,accidentally偶然的,意外的。关键在于区分merely和rarely就可以得出答案。

74.A) surge     B) spur   C) surf     D) splash

本题实际考察的是同类事物的列举。Surge表示巨大的海浪,汹涌澎湃,做动词有急速上升的意思, spur刺激,surf海浪,做动词有冲浪的意思, splash溅。

75.A) ensued      B) traced  C) followed     D) occurred

Ensue由..而产生,继..而来,trace追溯, follow跟随,occur发生,出现。Ensue是不及物动词,不能直接跟名词连用,trace的主语应该是人,而这里也只有follow表示的是时间的紧随状态。

76.A) which      B) where  C) what    D) when

本题考察简单的从句理解能力。介词to接宾语,后面跟一个地点性的成分,而后面又要引出they were before Katrina这一地点状语,所以选where.

77.A) enough     B) certain  C) conclusive      D) final

此题CD区分不开,所以在AB中选择。结合下一句的BUT转折词分析,得出做的事情是不足够的,但是也只能做那么多了,表达了无奈。

78.A) but      B) as  C) that      D) those

All that=what,all but=几乎,差一点,all those=复数形式的what。 而本题开头主语是it,因此只能用all that。hustle and bustle,熙熙攘攘。

79.A) exile    B) evacuate  C) dismiss      D) displace

Exile为放逐,evacuate为疏散,疏通,dismiss为解雇, displace为代替。

80.A) ride     B) trail  C) path     D) track

乍一看四个单词都认识,但是就是不知道哪个单词后面能跟OUT连用。Ride out为安全过度,track out为追踪。

81.A) conventions    B) notifications  C) communications      D) negotiations

Convention大会,习俗,notification通知,communication交流,negotiation协商。本题的关键在于对于neighboring communities的理解。其实就是接壤的城市的意思,在美国,community更多的被用做社区的含义。本句是对上前一句的解释和说明,前一句说事情尚未决定,因此本句就说明如何解决问题的。而这个进程又是困难的,因此只有negotiation能够出现困境,固而选择negotiation.
