Practice 2  We must work passionately and indefatigably to bridge the gulf between our scientific progress and our moral progress. One of the great problems of mankind is that we suffer from a poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance. The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually.  Every man lives in two realms, the internal and the external. The internal is that realm of spiritual ends expressed in art, literature, morals and religion. The external is that complex of devices, techniques, mechanisms and instrumentalities by means of which we live. Our problem today is that we have allowed the internal to become lost in the external. We have allowed the means by which we live to outdistance the ends for which we live. So much of modern life can be summarized in that suggestive phrase of Thoreau: “Improved means to an unimproved end. “ This is the serious predicament, the deep and haunting problem, confronting modern man. Enlarged material powers spell enlarged peril if there is not proportionate growth of the soul. When the external of man’s nature subjugates the internal, dark storm clouds begin to form.

_________(53)
A:even
B:despite
C:even if
D:in spite of

答案:C
解析:
介词with + which引导的定语从句,become acquainted with sth.“对······熟悉、了解”。
根据前面的daily conversation以及后面的并列成分our family associates可以推断第一种词汇就是我们和家人朋友日常交流中使用的词汇。members of family“家人”。
even if“即使”。even“尽管”。despite/in spite of“尽管”。本句话的意思是:这种词汇即使我们是文盲也知道如何使用。
concern“有关于”。本句话的意思是:这些词汇都和生活中的常见物有关,是各行各业使用该语言的所有人的主要词汇。
at large“一般的,总的”。at most“至多,不超过”。in public“公开的”。at best'‘充其量,至多”。该句话的意思是:这种词汇也许可以被称为“普通词”,因为它们为普通人所用,而不是专属于某个特定的阶层。
share“份额,一份”。right“权利”。privilege“特权”。possession“财产”。该句意思同上。句子主语为such words(这样的词汇),只有share和它无论是搭配还是意思都最合适。
comprise“由······组成”。consist的用法一般是consist of sth.,意思是“由······组成”。constitute“构成,组成”。compose的用法一般是be composed of意思是“由······组成”。因此只能选B。
该篇文章主要介绍两种不同的词汇,而且形成一种对照。第一种词汇是日常生活中频繁使用渐渐熟悉的,即使我们是文盲也能理解。第二种词汇只有受过教育的人知道。由此推断第二种词汇在日常对话中的使用频率和第一种词汇相比肯定很低。因此这里选seldom(很少)。
原因同上。和第一种词汇使用的场合地点形成鲜明对照,第二种词汇没有必要在市场或者家中使用。因此这里选necessity(必要性)。
first“最初的”;pflmary“主要的”;principal“主要的”;pflor“先前的”。该句是介绍我们最初是从哪里学会第二种词汇的。
lips“嘴唇”;tips“末端,顶端”;mouth“嘴巴”;mother's tongue“母语”。该句意思是:我们对这些词的最初了解并非从母亲口中也不是从和同学的谈话中得知,而是······
这里是not...but...(不是······而是······)的结构。
attend lectures为固定搭配,意思是“上课”。
above the habitual extent(范围)of everyday life意思是:超出日常生活范围的。border“国界,边界”;link“联系,纽带”;degree“程度”。
distinction between sth.and sth.的意思是:······和······之间的区别;diversion“转移,消遣”;diversity“种类,多样性”;similarity“类似”。本句意思是:这些词被称为“书面词”,书面词和普通词之间的区别对于我们理解语言过程意义重大。

第5题:

We must try to preserve the best of our moral values for our children and grandchildren.

A:prescribe
B:protect
C:predict
D:purchase

答案:B
解析:
本句意思是:为了我们的子孙后代,必须尽量保存我们道德价值中最好的部分。句中preserve意为“保护,保存”,例如:It is highly important to preserve the environment.保护自然环境至关重要。四个选项中:prescribe意为“开处方”,例如:What medicine did the doctor prescribe for your illness?医生开了什么药来治你的病?protect意为“保护”,例如:He raised his arm to protect his child from hurt.他伸出手去,保护他的孩子免受伤害。predict意为 “预测”,例如:The earthquake had been predicted several months before.这次地震早在几个月以前就发布了预报。purchase意为“购买”,例如:Tickets must be purchased two weeks in advance.票必须提前两周买。只有选项B同句中画线单词含义接近。

第8题:

Passage Five

In every language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, consist of the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words with which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we learn, that is to say, from the members of our own family and from our familiar associates, and which we should know and use even if we could not read or write. They concern the common things of life, and are the goods in trade of all those who speak the language. Such words may be called "popular", since they belong to the whole people; and are not the exclusive possession of a limited class.

On the other hand, our language includes a large number of words which are comparatively seldom used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little occasion to use them at home or in the market-place. Our first acquaintance with them comes not from our mother's lips or from the talk of our school-mates, but from books that we read, lectures that we bear, or the more formal conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular topic in a style. raised above the habitual level of everyday life. Such words are called "learned". And the distinction between them and "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of the language.

51. One class of words can be learned ______.

A. through everyday life

B. without too much practice

C. from popular songs

D. with a dictionary in one's hand


正确答案:A
答案为A。根据第一段第二句,there are those words with which we become acquainted in daily conversation,which we learn作出该项选择。
