第1题:

Over a holiday weekend, a certain car dealer sold off 4 of the cars on its lot. If the cars sold for an average of $6,000 each, how many cars were on the dealer's lot at the beginning of the weekend?

(1) The average value of the remaining cars on the lot is $5,000.

(2) The car dealer made $48,000 in car sales over the weekend.


正确答案:B
B 解析:Given statement (1) alone, we only know average values of both the cars that were sold and the cars that remained; the dealer could have sold 4 cars and had 1 left, or sold 8 cars and had 2 left, or an infinite number of other options. So we can eliminate A and D.
With statement (2), we are able to find the number of cars sold by dividing the total sales by the average price. 48,000/6,000=8, so the dealer sold 8 cars. Since that is 4/5 of the cars on the lot, the dealer started off with 10 cars. Statement (2) is sufficient, so the answer is B.

第2题:

Beijing's top hotels are fielding scores of calls from foreigners and Chinese people eager to book rooms during the 2008 Olympic Games in the Chinese capital. The luxurious and recently-renovated Beijing Hotel said it had received nearly 100 telephone inquiries from people wanting to book rooms during the Games since Beijing won its bid to host the event. "Out of these people, foreigners make up 30 to 40 per cent, including people calling from the United States and Europe," a hotel sales manager surnamed Song said.

Minutes before the decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was announced in Moscow, the hotel had already received 50 to 60 such phone calls from would be game-goers gambling on the result. Domestic callers have mainly come from the southern provinces of Guangdong and Fujian. Song said the hotel was not taking reservations, but only noting down names of callers, because seven years was too far in advance. The hotel also may be used by the IOC and would then need to set aside rooms for IOC members, he said.

Beijing will have more than 800 hotels with star ratings before the Olympic Games in 2008. The city currently has 20 five-star hotels, 34 four-star hotels and 338 other hotels with lower ratings. About 70 hotels will be designated to accommodate athletes and Olympic officials during the Games.

In the first paragraph, which of the following is the most possible reason for many people to book rooms in top hotels in Beijing?

A.The 2008 Olympic Games will be hold there.

B.More foreigners want to come to China.

C.People from the United States and Europe are eager to visit China.

D.Those hotels can offer good service.


正确答案:A
解析:本题的依据句是文章的第一个句子“Beijing's top hotels are fielding scores of calls from foreigners and Chinese people eager to book rooms during the 2008 Olympic Games in the Chinese capital.”其他个别选项尽管涉及了第一段的内容,但都是类似于举例说明的细节信息,与本题的问题没有必然的因果关系。

_________(57)
A:with
B:against
C:above
D:under

答案:B
解析:
上一个句子说北京人冬天要穿许多衣服以抵御寒冷。后一个句子是跟上一个句子作比较,因此要用little的比较级形式less。
把people填入后生成的句子同样是正确的,但是跟前一个句子放在一起时是不连贯的。这是因为在前一个句子中已经有了一个people0 them是一个代词,代词的作用就是照应,这也就是为什么语言中需要代词的原因。在这个句子中them就是照应前面的people。
body“身体”,指人的物质结构。
stay是系动词,跟形容词连用,说明某种状态的存在。四个选项都是形容词,但只有fashionable是最佳选择。如果穿得少是一种时尚的话,那么只穿几件衣服当然是很时髦的。填入bony , thin , hungry在语义上是不成立的,因为一种“瘦( bony/thin)的状态”是营养差、节食或疾病造成的,跟穿多少衣服没有关系。“保持饥饿状态”跟穿衣服也没有关系。
“Fewer layers of clothing give people the opportunity to stay fashionable.”是主题句。跟在主题句后面的句子是对这一主题的证明,这就需要有具体的事实。even所指的可能性是最不容易发生的。尽管如此,它还是发生了。因此even是最佳选择。
at the risk of health“有损健康的危险”。at the risk of是固定搭配。
prevent“防止”,与against连用。
该题所在句的意思是:通常来说,追求时髦的人大都是一些很瘦的人? “丑”(ugly)和“矮个”(short)显然与题意不符。fat可以排除,因为它与后面的with little body fat相矛盾。因此只有skinny是正确选择。
四个选项都是有关不同温度的。由于本文讨论的主题是“为了漂亮冻得要死”,因此合适的选择是cold。
这四个动词后面都可以跟从句,但只有wondered可以跟疑问从句。
sacrifice health for beauty“为了漂亮而栖牲健康”。
wear和put on都有“穿”的意思。前者是状态动词;后者由于其动作能瞬间完成而不具备延续性,因此不可能表达某种状态。而这个句子表达的完全是一种状态,因此wear是合适的选择。
前面句子讲到男人脱掉几层衣服并不会突然就显得更好看,那么下面的句子应该进一步具体化,因此用 only是对的。填入该词后,句子说的是“当他们仅仅穿着花哨的短裤和洗澡用的拖鞋时在确切意义上来说并不会显得更时髦”。
way有多种意思,包括“道路,’、“途经”、“方向”、“方法”、“方式”、“样子”等。整个句子说的是:当然,人们有选择自己外表呈现什么样子的自由。
look like“看上去好像是”。整个句子说的是:我只是觉得惊讶,在冬夏温度相差很大的康涅狄格州,他们的穿着看上去仍然像是在二月中旬的海滩上聚会。

_________(51)
