考前点评
本次考试两个V,第一个section填空非常简单,重复的题目比较多。第二个section难度陡增,尤其等价题,本身逻辑不复杂,但新词极多。四道题目里平均每道选项中生词比例都高达1/2以上。建议大家平时注意扩充词汇量,不拘泥于考试,多看一些英文刊物,如《经济学人》《科学美国人》,喜欢哲学的同学,推荐看罗素的《西方哲学史》。
真题分析
1. One baffling aspect of the novel is its capacity to generate emotional power from a plot that lacks the most elementary _____: readers must accept not an occasional coincidence, but a continuous stream of them.
A. synergy
B. continuity
C. naivety
D. premise
E. credibility
解析:空格要填入一个名词表示小说plot所缺失lack的东西;确定trigger“:”;trigger另一侧说读者必须接受的不是一个偶然的巧合,而是接连的巧合(them指代巧合),这显然很让人觉得不靠谱。读者的观感和小说的特征应该一致,所以小说的特征应该是缺失可信性credibility。
2. Given children’s active fantasy lives, one might think of truthfulness as (i)_____ virtue in young children, but it turns out that lying is the more (ii)_____ skill. A child who is going to lie must recognize the truth, intellectually conceive of an alternate reality, and be able to convincingly sell that new reality to someone else. Therefore, lying (iii)_____ cognitive development and social skills in a way that honesty simply does not.
Blank(i) Blank(ii) Blank(iii)
A. an instinctive D. advanced G. undermines
B. an acquired E. practical H. forgoes
C. a conscious F. mundane I. demands
解析:句首为given,所以其引导的状语与一空所在句子为因果关系,方向取同。状语里孩子的特征是fantasy幻想,虚幻,而空一所在句子里特征词是truthfulness真实,显然两个特征取反。也就是说truthfulness不是孩子天生的特征,排除A,选B acquired后天习得的。空二前有more,所以空二和空一取同(参见方法论比较级/also强于句间关系),选D advanced高级的。(先天就是直觉,后天习得就是高级,这个模式要记下来)。三空表示说谎lying和后天能力cognitive development and social skills之间的关系,基于一二两空,答案选正向的词,I. demands需要。
3. After rising continuously over the summer, commodity prices fell, leaving analyst wondering whether the downward trend is a turning point or merely a _____ before demand picks up in the winter months.
A. spike
B. upsurge
