2019年下半年学位英语考试练习及答案8

A great difference between American social customs and those of other countries is the way in which names are used. Americans have little concern for “rank”, especially socially. Most Americans do not want to be treated in any especially respectful way because of their age or social rank; it makes them feel uncomfortable. Many Americans even find the terms “Mr.”, “Mrs” or “Miss” too formal. People of all ages may prefer to be called by their first names. “Don’t call me Mrs Smith. Just call me Sally.” Using only first names usually indicates friendliness and acceptance. However, if you do not feel comfortable using only first names, it is quite acceptable to be more formal. Just smile and say that after a while you will use first names but you are accustomed to being more when you first meet someone.

Very often, introductions are made using both first and last names: “ Mary Smith, this is John Jones.” In this situation you are free to decide whether to call the lady “Mary” or “Miss Smith”. Sometimes both of you will begin a conversation using last names, and after a while one or both of you may begin using first names instead. You have a choice: if you don’t want to use first names so quickly, no one will think it impolite if you continue according to you own custom.

1. In the first paragraph the author tells us that

A. Americans do not talk about rank, especially socially

B. Americans feel uncomfortable when talking about rank

C. Americans tae interests in social customs

D. Americans don’t care much about social rank

2. According to the passage, most Americans feel when they are treated especially respectfully owing to their age or social rank.

A. sick B. sorry C. uneasy D. embarrassed

3. Which of the following statements in NOT true?

A. The way names are used in America is different from those of other countries.

B. Many Americans are used to being called by their first names.

C. It shows friendliness and kindness to use only first names.

D. When you talk to people in the United States, you have to use their first names.

4. If an American lady say “Don’t call me Mrs Smith, just call me Sally.” that shows

A. she is not a married woman

B. she prefers to be called “Sally”

C. she is not Mrs Smith

D. she likes to be more formal

5. The passage you’ve just read would most likely be found in a

A. guide-book for tourists

B. book about American history

C. notice

D. short story

PASSAGE 1

美国与其他国家社会习俗的一个显著不同是名字的使用方式。美国人很少关注“级别”，特别是在社交方面。多数美国人不想因其年长或者级别高而受到特别的尊敬。这种特别的尊敬会让他们感到局促不安。很多美国人甚至认为称呼“先生”、“女士”和“小姐”过于正式。他们无论年长或者年少可能更愿意别人称他们的名字。“不要称呼我史密斯女士，就叫我萨利好了。”只称呼名字常常意味着友好和接纳。但是如果只称呼名字你会感到不安，正式一些是完全可以接受的。只要微笑着说过一会儿你会称呼名字，但是第一次见面你习惯于比较正式的称呼。

通常介绍时会同时使用姓和名：“玛丽·史密斯，这位是约翰·琼斯。”在这种情况下，你可以自由决定称呼这位女士“玛丽”还是“史密斯小姐”。你们有时会以称呼对方的姓开始交谈，不久其中一人或两人同时开始称呼名字。你可以选择：如果你不想这么快就称呼名字，没有人会认为你按照自己的习惯继续称呼姓氏是不礼貌的。

答案解析：

1. D 第一段讲道美国人很少关注“级别”，特别是在社交方面。多数美国人不想因其年长或者级别高而受到特别的尊敬。这种特别的尊敬会让他们感到局促不安。比较四个选项，D的意思最准确、最符合原文。

2. C 第一段原文提到 多数美国人因其年长或者级别高而受到特别的尊敬时会感到局促不安。所以选C。 “uncomfortable” 在本文中应该理解为“局促不安的”(ill at ease; uneasy).

3. D 第一段结尾提到 如果只称呼名字你会感到不安，正式一些是完全可以接受的。只要微笑着说过一会儿你会称呼名字，但是第一次见面你习惯于比较正式的称呼。所以与美国人谈话并不一定必须(have to)称呼名字。

4. B 从引文的上下文中可以推断出 “Mrs. Smith”是比较正式的称呼，而美国人更喜欢直接称呼名字。所以选择 B

5. A 本文主要介绍美国的社会习俗 — 社交场合的称呼，与历史无关、不是通知的形式、更不是短篇小说。所以最可能出现在旅游指南上。

Passage 2

Questions 6-10 are based the following passage

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end-with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good’n Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”

The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed-new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with you legs crossed, with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.

6. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?

A. Buses on the road.

B. Films on television.

C. Advertisements on the board.

D. Gas stations.

7. What is the purpose of this passage?

A. To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.

B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.

C. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.

D. To describe the billboards along the road.

8. The writer of this passage would probably favor

A. bus drivers who weren’t reckless

B. driving alone

C. a television set on the bus

D. no billboards along the road

9. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because

A. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun

B. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between

C. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses

D. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting

10. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are

A. exciting B. comfortable C. tiring D. boring

PASSAGE2

乘坐长途车就如同欣赏电视秀，有开端、有情节、也有结尾，每隔三四分钟插播商业广告。商业广告不可避免。无论是否需要，都会出现。车窗外每几分钟就有商业广告牌闪过。“买超级清洁牙膏”、“喝个痛快就喝无醇饮料”、“充太平洋天然气”。只有睡觉，如同关掉电视机，才能躲避无休止的叫喊“你需要这个!现在就买吧!”

旅程的开始是舒适并且有些兴奋的，即使曾经走过那条路。通常一些事物有变化，新房子、新建筑、有时甚至新道路。司机有驾驶的风格，在一开始辨认出这种风格是一种乐趣。

如果司机横冲直撞、敢于冒险，旅程将如同悬念小说一样惊险刺激。司机会恰好超过那辆卡车吗?司机会开左车道还是右车道?当然，不久刺激感渐渐消失了。睡一会有助于度过旅途中间几个小时。食物始终让旅行更有趣味。但是要注意吃哪种食物。过于咸的食物能使你在站间非常口渴。

旅行结尾与开端有些相似。你知道旅程将很快结束，就会产生一种期待和兴奋。座位一定随着时间变得更加坚硬。现在你双腿交叉着坐着，双手交叉垫在脑后。旅程适时结束。恰好没有其他坐姿了。

答案解析：

6、C 第一段中介绍了乘客在坐长途车过程中所见的是广告牌。 “the commercials”是“商业广告”的意思;“billboard” 是“广告牌”的意思，即 “advertisements on the board”。

7、 A 全文主要介绍作者对乘车长途旅行的感受。

8、 D 第一段作者认为“商业广告不可避免”和“只有睡觉才能躲避广告”，由此可以推断出作者不喜欢沿途的广告牌。

9、 B 根据文章第一段第一句和第二句“乘坐长途车就如同欣赏电视秀，有开端、有情节、也有结尾，每隔三四分钟插播商业广告”可知。

10、A 根据文章第二段第一句“旅程的开始是舒适并且有些兴奋的”和第三段第二句“你知道旅程将很快结束，就会产生一种期待和兴奋”可知。

Passage 3

Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage

No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.

All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.

I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, “a heightening of life, enjoyment with others”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life” It also deserves a place in the teaching of languages and literature more central than it presently occupies.

I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.

11. According to the passage, to have a better understanding of a poem, the best way is

A. to discuss it with others

B. to analyze it by oneself

C. to hear it read out

D. to practice reading it aloud

12. The recitation of a poetry by the teacher or a student in the classroom

A. is the best way to understand it

B. easily arouses some discussion among the students

C. helps the teachers to analyse it

D. can not take the place of the poet reading it analyse

13. According to the author, one of the purposes of teaching English is getting students

A. to criticize life B. to like poetry

C. to enjoy life D. to teach poetry

14. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?

A. The teaching of poetry should have been much more stressed

B. The teaching of poetry is more important than the teaching of any other subject.

C. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.

D. Poetry is the foundation of all languages and literature courses.

15. The phrase “make room” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by

A. “build a booth” B. “provide equipment”

C. “leave a certain amount of time” D. “set aside enough space”

PASSAGE 3

在教师或者学生朗读之前，绝不应该讨论或者“分析”诗歌。朗读两次大概更好，一次在讨论开始时，另一次在结尾，这样人们最后听到的是诗歌的朗诵。

事实上，讨论诗都是为朗读做准备，并且读诗最终是对诗歌最生动有效的诠释，同时表现出语调、节奏和意义。显而易见，倾听诗人读自己的作品，无论是录音还是录像，都会带来特别的收益。但是即使教学辅助设备也无法取代学生和教师朗读诗，最好能够背诵。

我想到事实上如果时间有限，朗读诗的重要性远大于“分析”诗。我认为作为英语教师，我们的目标之一是使学生热爱诗歌。诗是“生活的批判”、“生活的升华，与他人的共享。”诗是“通往真实情感的道路”，“能够拯救生命”。在语言和文学教学中，诗也理应占据比现在更重要的位置。

我并不是说每位英语教师必须教授诗歌。己所不欲，勿施于人。但是教授诗歌者必须牢记一些关于诗歌本质、声音和感觉的知识，也必须在课堂留出聆听和思考的时间。

答案解析：

11、D 第一段第一句强调朗读诗应置于讨论和“分析”之前，第二段第一句进一步说讨论诗都是为朗读做准备，并且朗读诗最终是对诗歌最生动有效的诠释。第三段第一句也强调朗读诗的重要性远大于“分析”诗。因此，朗读、讨论、分析三者比较，练习朗读诗是能够更好的理解诗的最好方式。

12、A 第二段最后一句讲即使教学辅助设备也无法取代学生和教师朗读诗，最好能够背诵。由此可以推断出背诵是理解诗的最好方式。

13、B 第三段讲我认为作为英语教师，我们的目标之一是使学生热爱诗歌。所以答案是热爱诗。

14、A 第三段最后一句在语言和文学教学中，诗也理应占据比现在更重要的位置。所以应强调诗歌教学。应选A 注： “stress” 是“强调”的意思 (To place emphasis on; emphasize)

15、C “make room for” 本意是“为……腾出空位”。此处应理解为在课上安排时间聆听和思考诗歌，即 “leave a certain amount of time”之意。

Part Ⅱ词汇语法解析

1、B 本题测试的是词义辨析。本句的意思是：“如果你开着前灯，你本可以避免车祸的发生。” 给出的四个答案中， A. miss 是“错过，避免”的意思，例如：The two planes missed disaster by a few inches when they nearly collided. B. avoid的意思是“避免发生某事”(prevent sth from happening)，例如：I turned to the side of the road to avoid a collision. C. escape 做及物动词是“(人)逃避，避开”的意思，例如：We go south to escape the winter. D. dismiss (from) 是“解雇，开除，遣散”的意思，比较正式，例如：If you are late again, you’ll be dismissed (from your job). 选项A、B、C、都有“避免”的意思，但只有B avoid 含有采取主观行动避免灾难发生的意思。

2、A/B 本题的意思是：“除了值班的警察，街道空无一人。”本题考察的是词组辨析。Except 含有“除…之外”或“除了”的意思时，用于非同类事物进行比较, 通常用作介词而不是连词,人称代词用于except 之后时通常用宾格，如果强调极其特殊的、极少数的例外情况，常与for连用。but的意思是“除了”，常常连接两个并列人称作主语，例如：No one has read it but me.或者No one but me has read it. Besides的意思是“除……以外，还有……”，介词，指“在整体中加入一部分”，表示递加的概念，含义是肯定的。就此分析A或B均可,只是B用法更习惯一些。

3、A 本题测试的是词义辨析。本句的意思是：“据说他犯了谋杀罪。” A. commit 是“犯(错误、罪刑)”的意思，宾语常常是表示罪名的词，如：commit a crime/a sin/suicide/murder. B. conduct 是“指挥、领导”的意思，如：conduct a meeting C. execute 是“执行、实行”的意思，如：execute the decisions of the government D. emit 是“发射、发出”的意识，如：a stove emitting heat

4、A 本题测试的是if从句的虚拟语气。本题的意思是：“如果太阳从东边升起，我就听你的。” If从句表示与将来的事实可能相反(对将来的事实实现的可能性不大)的结构是从句：If + 主语 + should (或were) + 动词原形(were +动词不定式) +…… 主句：主语 + would (could, should, might) + 动词原形 +……

5、C 本题测试的是词组的固定搭配，in return 是固定搭配，意思是“作为回报或回复的”， 本句的意思是：“他让我用他的电脑，作为回报我请他吃晚饭。”其他词并无此搭配。

6、B 本题测试的是强调句型“It is (was)…that\who…”当强调的是人的时候用who ,其他都用that;who和that都不能省略。本句的意思是：“直到回到家，她才想起与医生的约会。”强调的是时间状语 “直到她回到家”，所以应选 that。

7、D would have done sth与must have done sth都表示对过去时间里可能发生的事情的推测后者语气较强，具有"肯定"，"务必"的意思;前者有 “本来要/会”的意思。本句的意思是：“我们不知道他的电话号码，否则我们本来会打电话给他的。”所以应选D

8、A 本题测试的是risk v. sth/doing sth的用法，例如：By criticizing the boss he risked losing his job. 本句的意思是：“不要冒险失去这个许多人梦寐以求的机会。”，根据句意，此事不至于危及生命，所以D选项不合逻辑，并且 “冒着生命危险做事”应表述为risk one’s life doing sth, 例如：She risked her life trying to save the drowning child. 所以本题应选 A

9、C 本题测试的是搭配。A reason 是“原因，理由”的意思，应与“to do”搭配，例如：They have said the new product will be a success, and I see no reason to doubt it. B excuse 是“借口、理由”的意思，应与“for doing sth”或者“to do sth”搭配，例如：his excuse for being late; to think of an excuse to leave C point 有“目的、好处”之意，与“in/of doing sth”搭配。例如：I see no point in trying to persuade him—he’ll never change his mind. D chance 是“机会、可能”的意思，应与“to do sth” 搭配，例如：He had no chance to apologize. 所以应选C本句的意思是：“我在公司做得很好，看不出离开那有什么好处。”

10、A Hardly/Scarcely…when和no sooner…than…固定搭配，意义相当于as soon as,引导时间状语从句，表示过去发生的事情，主句为过去完成时，从句为过去时，如hardly或no sooner位于句首时语气强，而且主句的谓语要用部分倒装。当Not until引出主从复合句，主句部分倒装，not until从句不倒装，例如：Not until the early years of the 19th century did man know what heat is.

11、B本题测试的是go on doing sth和go on to do sth的区别，go on doing sth 是“继续做同一件事”的意思，go on to do sth是“(做完一件事后)继续做另一件事”的意思。本句的意思是：“他完成阅读后，继续写作文”，是做不同的事，所以应选B

12、C 本题测试的是虚拟过去时if从句的省略。虚拟过去时if 从句的谓语形式用过去完成时即had+过去分词，主句用would / should / could / might + have +过去分词，有时可以连词if 省去，而将had , should, were 等词提到主语之前，即用倒装结构。 If it had not been for his help(=but for his help),we would not have succeeded.

13、D 本题测试的是主谓一致和词组consist of 的用法。committee 是集合名词，谓语动词可以用单数或复数，当委员会作为一个整体时，用单数谓语，例如：The committee controls school spending. 当强调委员会的成员个体时，用复数谓语。本句的意思是：“现在委员会由7名成员组成”，强调整体，所以用单数谓语。同时，consist of sth 不用进行时。此句虽然有now作为时间状语，但仍然用一般现在时。所以选D

14、A 本题测试的是词义辨析。本句的意思是：“现在没有空位给迟到的观众”。A available 是“可获得、可用的”的意思，可做后置定语，例如：shoes available in your size B enough “足够的”，用在复数或者不可数名词前。C supply 是“提供”的意思，用法是supply sb with sth/supply sth to sb, 不与for sb 搭配 D make 是动词原形，“制作、使成为”之意，在此句 中不能做定语。 所以应选A

15、B 本题测试的是非谓语动词作定语的用法，现在分词(D discussing)表示主动、并且正在发生，过去分词(A discussed)表示被动、已经结束的动作，动词不定式(to do)表示将要发生的动作，B to be discussed 是动词不定式的被动形式。

16、B本题目测试的是put与不同介词搭配的词组的意思。Put out 是“熄灭、出版”的意思;put off 是“推迟”的意思;put on 是“穿上、假装”的意思;put up 是“举起”的意思。本句的意思是：“因为天气不好，旅行推迟到下周”。所以选B

17、A在英语中的表示“命令、要求、建议”等的词，往往要用虚拟语气，例如：recommend/recommendation, require/requirement ,advise/advice, suggest/suggestion等等。虚拟语气结构是should+动词原形，should可省略。本句的意思是“建议做好所有准备之后再开始这项工程”。

18、A It’s (high, about) time that 句型中that从句中要求用虚拟语气形式，即动词要用过去式。

19、B whatever 是“不管什么”的意思，既可以引导名词性从句，也可以引导让步状语从句。引导让步状语从句时相当于“No matter what”，例如：Whatever/No matter what we said, he'd disagree. 但是，that, what不能引导让步状语从句，wherever可以引导让步状语从句，相当于“no matter where”, 但是where和wherever是副词，不能同时做从句的主语，只能做地点状语，如：He seems to make enemies wherever he goes. 所以选择B，本句的意思是：“约翰决心完成那项重要的实验。无论发生什么事，他都不会改变计划。”

20、B本题测试的是reach 和arrive 的区别及on 的用法。Reach 是及物动词，arrive是不及物动词，与介词at搭配，arrival是arrive的名词，也需与at 搭配，如：arrive (arrival) at/ reach the station。On sth/doing sth 表示“一……就……”，例如：On entering the room, she saw him. 所以应选择B。本句的意思是：“他一到火车站就发现火车已经开走了。”

21、C 本题目测试的是get与不同介词搭配的词组的意思。Get across 是“使了解、使令人置信”的意思，例如：I have tried to get my point across. Get away是“脱身、离开”的意思，例如I’m sorry I’m late; I was in a meeting and couldn’t get away. Get over是“克服、战胜(困难)”的意思，例如：How shall we get over this difficulty. Get through是“使成功、使通过考试”的意思，例如We were all delighted when we heard you’d got through your exam. 所以应选C。本句的意思是：“不久他克服了困难，取得了成功。”

22、D本题测试的是occur的用法和it做形式主语。(an idea) occur to sb是“(主意)浮现在脑中、被想起”的意思。本句的意思是：“他想起忘带笔记本了。”that引导的主语从句是真正的主语，而大部分主语从句都可以用it作形式主语，特别是主句谓语动词是 appear, turn out, happen, occur, come, strike, follow, matter 等时一般用it作形式主语，例如：It happened that she had a cold and didn't go with us that day. It turned out that I was wrong. 所以应选D

23、B本题测试的是词组come to a conclusion和come to an end. Come to /draw/reach a conclusion是“得出结论”的意思，例如：We come to the conclusion that she was telling the truth. Come to an end是“结束”的意思，主语应是sth，例如：At last the war came to an end. Result和judgment不与come to搭配。所以应选B。本句的意思是：“他们讨论这个问题三四次，最终得出结论。”

24、C must have done表示对过去发生事情的推测。本句的意思是“我开车回家时应该是九点左右，因为天已经黑了。”

25、A 本题测试的是would rather的宾语从句的时态。Would rather的宾语从句要用一般过去时。

26、A wish的宾语从句要用虚拟语气。表示对过去的愿望时，从句要用过去完成时。本句的意思是：“我多么希望我几年前就已经开始学英语了。”

27、A/D 本题测试的是宾语从句的引导词和whether/if的区别。Doubt是“怀疑”的意思，肯定句的宾语从句用that/whether/if引导，否定句用that引导，例如：I doubt that/whether/if she will get the job. I don’t doubt that she is telling the truth. 另外，whether可以与or not连用，而if不可以。所以可以选A/D

28、D 本题测试的是have作为使役动词的用法。Have sb do sth是“让某人做某事”的意思。本句的意思是：“老师意外地让孩子们合上书，孩子们感到很惊讶。”

29、C 本题测试的是句型It is no use doing sth。当动名词短语作主语时常用it作形式主语，例如： It's no use quarrelling. It is no use crying over spilt milk. 本句的意思是：“买书却不读是没有益处的。”

30、D 本题测试的是定语从句的关联词。本句的意思是：“这里是外国客人将要访问的地方。”先行词the place要做从句动词visit的宾语，所以只能用关系代词which。Where, when和how都是关系副词。

Television, it is often said, keeps one 1) about current events, allows one to follow the

It could be argued that the radio performs this 7) just as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more 8) . Yet here is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical fascination for us. We get 9) used to looking at its movements, so 10) on its flickering pictures, that it begins to 11) our lives.

完形翻译

人们常说, 电视使人了解时事, 熟悉政治领域的最新发展变化, 并能源源不断地为观众提供各种既有教育意义又有趣的节目。最遥远的国家和最陌生的习俗带进起居室。有人可能会反驳说收音机也提供这种服务;但是在电视上，一切都更加生动逼真。但是存在危险。电视屏幕本身对我们有可怕的、几乎自然的魅力。我们极其习惯于注视屏幕上的运动，依赖闪烁的图像，以至于电视开始主宰我们的生活。我的一个朋友告诉我说，一天他的电视机坏了，他和家人突然发现有了更多的时间做事，他们竟然重新开始交谈了。这值得思考，难道不是吗!

对电视有很多争论。拙劣的节目常常受到批评。但是毋庸置疑，电视是孤独老人的极大安慰。电视教坏我们的孩子还是在教育他们?我认为我们必须意识到电视本身非好非坏。而是如何运用电视决定它的社会价值。

完形解析

1、B informed 是“(人)有学识的、见识广博的”的意思，informative 是“(事物)提供信息的，提供消息的”，本句的意思是：“电视使人了解时事”。

2、C latest 是“最新的、最近的”的意思，“最新发展”，所以选C, latter是“后者”的意思，later是“稍后”的意思。

3、A 根据句意“源源不断地为观众提供节目”，所以应选A，award是“授予”的意思， reward是“酬劳”的意思，avail是“有益于”的意思。

4、B instructive是“有益的、教育性的”的意思，constructive是“建设性的”，illuminating是“照明的、启蒙的”，只有B选项符合句意“有教育意义又有趣的节目”。

5、D 作国家解的几个词区别如下：country 指自然地理方面的国家，nation 指有民族的意义，state 指政治概念的国家，本句强调地理方位最远的，所以应选D。

6、B bring 与into搭配，bring sth into someplace是将某事物引进、带进某个地方。

7、D perform duty 是“履行职责”的意思。

8、B vivid与 living是同义词，都是“生动的、鲜明的”的意思。所以应选B

9、C 根据本句已经出现的结构so…that…，可以推断出选C

10、B get 是本句的主要动词，get dependent on 与get used to是并列结构。

11、A dominate是“以权威或力量控制、支配或统治”之意，master是“精通、掌握”之意，rule是“统治、管辖、治理”之意，ruin是“毁灭”之意。本句应为“主宰支配我们的生活”，所以选A。

12、C “我的一个朋友”的固定表达。

13、A 本题目测试的是break与不同介词搭配的词组的意思。Break down是“失效、没用了”之意，break up 是“破碎”之意，break off 是“折断”之意，break out是“爆发”之意。所以“电视机坏了”应选A。

14、B actually有“事实上、居然”之意。本句是在介绍电视机坏了之后，家中所发生的情况，因此选B。

15、B 本题测试的是附加疑问句中肯定的陈述句+否定的附加疑问句的结构，并且附加疑问部分的动词一般要与陈述部分的动词相对应，因此选B

16、B 本句的意思是“很差的节目质量受到批评”，与poor搭配只能是质量，所以应选B

17、A 本题测试的是同义词辨析。Lonely作定语，更强调情感的孤独，alone不能作定语， single表示单身的，solitary是“惯于独居的”，多用在文学作品中，表示“孤零零的”。所以应选A。

18、D 本题目测试的是itself与不同介词搭配的词组的意思。By itself“单独地”， of itself “自然而然地”，in itself“本质上、完全地”都不符合句意。本句的意思是“电视本身非好非坏”，所以应选D，itself“本身”。

19、 B put sth to use 是“运用”的意思。

20、D value to society是“社会价值”的意思。
