    B. recipe

    C. prescription

    D. remedy

    參考答案:C。
    參考解析:本題考查名詞辨析。句意為“(如果要)從藥房取藥,你需要一個(gè)處方”。inscription“題詞,碑文”,recipe“秘訣,食譜”,prescription“處方,藥方”,remedy“治療,藥品”。C項(xiàng)符合題意。

    A. inflection

    B. derivation

    C. compounding

    D. back-format/on

    參考答案:D。
    參考解析:本題考查構(gòu)詞法。inflection“屈折變化”,指通過添加屈折詞綴來表現(xiàn)詞的語(yǔ)法關(guān)系的方法,如名詞的單數(shù)變復(fù)數(shù),動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)、語(yǔ)態(tài)變化等;derivation“派生法”,指通過詞綴與詞根的結(jié)合構(gòu)成單詞的方法;compoundin9“復(fù)合法”,指把兩個(gè)自由語(yǔ)素或兩個(gè)獨(dú)立的詞結(jié)合在一起構(gòu)成新詞的方法;back—formation“逆構(gòu)詞法”,指去掉假定后綴構(gòu)成新詞的方法,如televise由television去掉后綴.ion逆生而成。detect是把detective的假定后綴去掉得來的,屬于逆構(gòu)詞法。故本題選D。

    A. like

    B. as

    C. more of

    D. much of

    參考解析:本題考查比較級(jí)。句意為“已經(jīng)無話可說了,他感覺這遠(yuǎn)比他預(yù)想的更像個(gè)傻瓜”。根據(jù)句意及關(guān)鍵詞than可知,句中構(gòu)成了比較級(jí),much用來修飾比較級(jí),并不構(gòu)成比較級(jí),故排除A、B、D。more of sth.than為固定搭配,此處指比想象中更傻。

     7. What is the chance of_________ another typhoon in this area this summer?

    A. Are; will

    B. Were; shall

    C. Are; should

    參考答案:D。
    參考解析:本題考查虛擬語(yǔ)氣。句意為“如果他們降低廣告成本,生產(chǎn)成本就會(huì)明顯下降”。表示與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反的情況,虛擬條件從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用過去式(be用were),主句謂語(yǔ)用would/should/could/might+動(dòng)詞原形;虛擬條件從句中含有were時(shí),可省略if,并把were移至主語(yǔ)之前。該從句的正常語(yǔ)序是If they were to cut down the cost of advertising。故本題選D。

     9. How many morphemes are there in the word "impassable" ?

    A. Two.

    B. Three.

    C. Four.

    D. Five.

    參考答案:B。
    參考解析:本題考查形態(tài)學(xué)。詞素是最小的有意義的語(yǔ)言單位。impassable由im一+-一pass一+一able三個(gè)詞素構(gòu)成。故本題選B。

    請(qǐng)閱讀Passage 1,完成第21-25小題。

     Passage 1

     When it comes to airline travel, perhaps nothing has revolutionized the passenger experience more than airline apps. Indeed, they're becoming so ubiquitous that more than 50 percent of U.S travelers have at least one airline app installed on their smart device, according to travel industry research firm Phocuswright.

    Maybe that's because apps make travel easier, and often are more functional than a kiosk or even an airline's own website. Passengers report that they're often more quickly informed of a flight cancellation or gate change than an airline employee. Not all airline apps are created equal, but in general you can use an app to check in for a flight, change seats, and request and pay for an upgrade. Road warriors in particular appreciate mobile boarding passes and the ability to track their flights. Many airlines now

    offer free on board streaming entertainment via apps. The Delta Air Lines app even allows users to track their bags, from check-in to carousel, while the Air France app lets passengers download magazines and newspapers from the airline's library 30 hours prior to departure.

    But what if you are traveling extensively on more than one airline? Global airline alliances have their own apps that allow you to view flights for all member airlines and their affiliates, including code share flights. In general, you can find flight schedules for all member airlines and track member airline flights. Airport information is available, as are details about local weather at the destination. Where's the nearest airport lounge? The app will locate it for you.  

    The SkyTeam airline alliance app goes a step further by letting its SkyPriority members(SkyTeam Elite Plus members and customers with first and business-class tickets) find out exactly which SkyPriority services--including priority check in and baggage drop off, as well as access to priority security lanes and boarding lanes--are available at individual airports.

    You'll find that some alliance app features are available through multiple channels of communication. For example, SkyTeam members have formed their own online community by sharing traveler tricks and airport tips accessible through a variety of channels, including the app,

    SkyTeam's website, Facebook page and a dedicated tips site. SkyTeam's YouTube page features  travel tips from regional celebrities.

     Just as airlines seem to have conquered social media, another method of communicating with travelers has just arrived. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is the first carrier to sign up for Facebook's Messenger chat app. KLM flyers can automatically receive itineraries, flight updates, check- in notifications, boarding passes and rebook flights and communicate with customer service, all from Facebook Messenger. Messenger for Business was launched so that customers--in this case, passengers--can transact business over the messaging app in a single communication thread.Roughly 80 percent of passengers on planes traveling within the U.S. have the Messenger app

    installed on their smartphones, according to Facebook.

    Clearly, mobile apps and social media have transformed our digital lives. Airlines favor apps and other technologies because they get customers out of airport lines and off phone lines. Through their smart devices, travelers now have untethered access to travel information. A few quick taps can supply individuals with information never dreamed possible even a decade ago. And with more people using smartphones as their primary computing device, and as more people own cell phones globally, people expect technology-driven methods of communication and convenience to accelerate. Whether you're high-tech or not, you must admit that having immediate access to the information you need sure beats getting a busy signal on a toll-free phone line.

     21. Which of the following reflects what the author intends to convey?

    A. Airline apps have made airline competitions fiercer than ever.

    B. Airline apps have immensely transformed travelers' digital lives.

    C. Airline apps will probably replace airline staff in the near future.

    D. Airline apps have provided magazines and newspaper for travelers.

    參考答案:B。
    參考解析:主旨題。文章主要講述了航空公司的應(yīng)用程序給人們帶來的種種便捷,最后一段第一句“Clearly,mobile apps and social media have transformed our digital lives”總結(jié)了前文內(nèi)容,后面的內(nèi)容都是對(duì)這句話的展開說明。A、C兩項(xiàng)文章均未提及。D項(xiàng)內(nèi)容為文章中的細(xì)節(jié)信息,并不能概括全文意思。故本題選B。

     22. According to this passage, which of the following apps provides priority services information for priority members?

    A. The SkyTeam airline alliance app.

    B. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines app.

    C. Global airline alliance app.

    D. The Delta Air Lines app.

    參考答案:A。
    參考解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干定位到第四段。由該段內(nèi)容可知The SkyTeam airline alliance app允許頭等艙和商務(wù)艙的乘客優(yōu)先登機(jī)及進(jìn)行行李托運(yùn),甚至還為他們提供優(yōu)先安全通道和登機(jī)通道等。所以能為具有優(yōu)先權(quán)的乘客提供優(yōu)先服務(wù)信息的應(yīng)用程序是The SkyTeam airline alliance app。故本題選A。

     23. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "untethered" in the last paragraph?

    A. Unlimited.

    B. Easy.

    C. Immediate.

    D. Direct.

    參考答案:A。
    參考解析:詞匯題。畫線單詞所在句為“Airlines favor apps and other technologies because they get customers out of airport lines and off phone lines.Through their smart devices,travelers now have—unteth—ered access to travel information”,這句話是說航空公司喜歡應(yīng)用程序和其他技術(shù)是因?yàn)樗鼈兡軌蜃尶蛻魯[脫機(jī)場(chǎng)線和電話線;通過他們的智能設(shè)備,旅客們現(xiàn)在可以獲取旅行信息。前面作者強(qiáng)調(diào)的是應(yīng)用程序及其他技術(shù)使人們擺脫了對(duì)機(jī)場(chǎng)線和電話線的依賴,也就是說打破了這種限制,因此這里的untethered應(yīng)該是無限制的意思。故本題選A。

     24. What makes mobile apps appealing to travelers according to the last paragraph?

    A. Realization of their unfulfilled dreams.

    B. A better service via computing devices.

    C. An unoccupied signal on the phone line.

    D. Immediate access to the needed information.

    參考答案:D。
    參考解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。最后一段前半部分介紹了手機(jī)應(yīng)用程序能夠?yàn)槌丝瞳@取信息提供較多的無限制的渠道,強(qiáng)調(diào)人們只通過簡(jiǎn)單的操作就能獲取即時(shí)信息;而且根據(jù)最后一句“Whether you’re high—tech or not,you must admit that having immediate access to the information you need sure beats getting a busy signal on a toll.flee phone line”也可得知本題選D。A、B兩項(xiàng)并不是最后一段強(qiáng)調(diào)的重點(diǎn),C項(xiàng)文章并未提及。故本
    題選D。

     25. Which word below best describes the author's stance?

    A. Biased.

    B. Neutral.

    C. Critical.

    D. Radical.

    參考答案:B。
    參考解析:態(tài)度題。作者在一開始提到的是航空應(yīng)用程序帶來的革命性變化,隨后列舉了一些應(yīng)用程序及相關(guān)功能論證它們帶來的便利,緊接著開始講述航空應(yīng)用程序與一些社交媒體相結(jié)合,最后又論述了航空應(yīng)用程序能夠吸引乘客的原因。全文的論述都是建立在客觀事實(shí)之上的,作者并未摻雜自己的觀點(diǎn)。A項(xiàng)“有偏見的”,B項(xiàng)“中立的”,C項(xiàng)“批判的”,D項(xiàng)“激進(jìn)的”。故本題選B。

     Passage 2

     Everyone knows that English departments are in trouble, but you can't appreciate just howmuch trouble until you read the new report from the Modern Language Association. The report is about Ph.D. programs, which have been in decline since 2008. These programs have gotten both more difficult and less rewarding: today, it can take almost a decade to get a doctorate, and, at the end of your program, you're unlikely to find a tenure-track job.

     The core of the problem is, of course, the job market. The M.L.A. report estimates that only sixty per cent of newly-minted Ph.D.s will find tenure-track jobs after graduation. If anything,that's wildly optimistic: the M.L.A. got to that figure by comparing the number of tenure-track jobs on its job list (around six hundred) with the number of new graduates (about a thousand). But that leaves out the thousands of unemployed graduates from past years who are still job-hunting--not to mention the older professors who didn't receive tenure, and who now find themselves competing

    with their former students. In all likelihood, the number of jobs per candidate is much smaller than the report suggests. That's why the mood is so dire--why even professors are starting to ask, in the committee's words, "Why maintain doctoral study in the modern languages and literatures--or the rest of the humanities--at all?"

     Those trends, in turn, are part of an even larger story having to do with the expansion and transformation of American education after the Second World War. Essentially, colleges grew less e1ite and more vocational. Before the war, relatively few people went to college. Then, in the nineteen-fifties, the G.I. Bill and, later, the Baby Boom pushed colleges to grow rapidly. When the boom ended, colleges found themselves overextended and competing for students. By the mid-

    seventies, schools were creating new programs designed to attract a broader range of students--for instance, women and minorities. 

     Those reforms worked: as Nate Silver reported in the Times last summer, about twice as many people attend college per capita now as did forty years ago. But all that expansion changed colleges.In the past, they had catered to elite students who were happy to major in the traditional liberal arts.Now, to attract middle-class students, colleges had to offer more career-focused majors, in fields like business, communications, and health care. As a result, humanities departments have found

    themselves drifting away from the center of the university. Today, they are often regarded as a kind of institutional luxury, paid for by dynamic, cheap, and growing programs in, say, adult-education. These large demographic facts are contributing to today's job-market crisis: they're why, while education as a whole is growing, the humanities aren't.  

    Given all this, what can an English department do? The M.L.A. report contains a number of suggestions. Pride of place is given to the idea that grad school should be shorter: "Departments should design programs that can be completed in five years." That will probably require changing the dissertation from a draft of an academic book into something shorter and simpler. At the same time, graduate students are encouraged to "broaden" themselves: to "engage more deeply with technology" ; to pursue unusual and imaginative dissertation projects; to work in more than one discipline; to acquire teaching skills aimed at online and community-college students; and to take workshops on subjects, such as project management and grant writing, which might be of value outside of academia. Graduate programs, the committee suggests, should accept the fact that many of their students will have non-tenured, or even non-academic, careers. They should keep track of

    what happens to their graduates, so that students who decide to leave academia have a non-academic alumni network to draw upon.

     26. What does the author mean by saying "that's wildly optimistic" in Paragraph 2?

    A. The job openings for newly-graduated Ph.D.s are incredibly promising.

    B. It seems impossible for newly-graduated Ph.D.s to find a tenure-track job.

    C. The M.L.A. report has overestimated the number of tenure-track jobs on the job list.

    D. The M.L.A. report has exaggerated the difficulties to be encountered by newly-graduated Ph.D.s.

    參考答案:C。
    參考解析:推斷題。根據(jù)該句后面的內(nèi)容可知這則報(bào)告只記錄了應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生的數(shù)據(jù),并沒有將仍在求職的往屆生以及沒有獲得終身教職的老教授們考慮在內(nèi),因此可以說這則報(bào)告的數(shù)據(jù)是過于樂觀的,實(shí)際數(shù)據(jù)要比這個(gè)更低,即M.LA.的報(bào)告高估了就業(yè)數(shù)據(jù)。A項(xiàng)“對(duì)于剛畢業(yè)的博士生們來說就業(yè)前景很光明”,不符合文意,故排除。B項(xiàng)“對(duì)于剛畢業(yè)的博士生們來說找到一份終身教職似乎是不可能的”,文中只是說比較難,沒有提到不可能,過于絕對(duì),故排除。D項(xiàng)“MLA.的報(bào)告夸大了剛畢業(yè)的博士生們找工作的難度”,與文意相反,故排除。故本題選C。

     27. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "dire" in Paragraph 2?

    A. Cheerful.

    B. Gloomy.

    C. Complicated.

    D. Queer.

    參考答案:B。
    參考解析:詞匯題。根據(jù)dire所在的上下文“…is much smaller than the report suggests…‘…why even professors are…or the rest of the humanities--at all?”可推知本詞并非表達(dá)積極向上的意思,故排除A項(xiàng)“愉快的”。上下文分析的是就業(yè)形勢(shì)嚴(yán)峻,找到終身教職很難的現(xiàn)狀,由此可推斷該專業(yè)的人員心情應(yīng)該是糟糕的、悲傷的。B項(xiàng)“沮喪的”,C項(xiàng)“復(fù)雜的”,D項(xiàng)“奇怪的”。故本題選B。

     28. According to the author, which of the following is the key reason that leads to today's job-market crisis for Ph.D. students?

    A. The expansion in college enrollments after the Second World War.

    B. The shift of popularity from humanities majors to career-focused ones.

    C. The rise in the number of women and minorities in graduate programs.

    D. The lack of career-related guidance for college graduated in job-hunting.

    參考答案:B。
    參考解析:推斷題。根據(jù)題于中的“today’Sjob—market crisis”定位到第四段。第四段首先提到大學(xué)擴(kuò)招,接著分析其影響——大學(xué)提供更多以職業(yè)為導(dǎo)向的專業(yè),人文學(xué)科不再是學(xué)校的中心。最后一句“這就是為什么整個(gè)教育行業(yè)在擴(kuò)張,而人文學(xué)科卻面臨窘境”是結(jié)論句。A項(xiàng)“‘二戰(zhàn)’后大學(xué)擴(kuò)招”并非導(dǎo)致當(dāng)今就業(yè)市場(chǎng)危機(jī)的關(guān)鍵因素,只是問題的導(dǎo)火索,真正原因是由此帶來的大學(xué)重心的轉(zhuǎn)移。B項(xiàng)“人文學(xué)科不再盛行,而以職業(yè)為導(dǎo)向的學(xué)科日漸受人歡迎”,符合文意。C項(xiàng)“研究生中婦女以及少數(shù)民族人數(shù)的增加”,文中并未體現(xiàn)這與就業(yè)市場(chǎng)危機(jī)之間存在關(guān)聯(lián)。D項(xiàng)“對(duì)于正在找工作的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生,學(xué)校沒有給予就業(yè)相關(guān)的指導(dǎo)”,曲解文意。故本題選B。

     29. What does "that" in the last paragraph refer to?

    A. The idea of designing a shorter program.

    B. The completion of a degree in five years.

    C. The idea of drafting a shorter dissertation.

    D. The suggestions given in the M.L.A. report.

    參考答案:A。
    參考解析:指代題?!皌hat”指代的是前文內(nèi)容“Pride of place is given to the idea that grad school should be shorter:‘Departments should design programs that can be completed in five years”’該句提到M.L.A.報(bào)告里的一個(gè)想法——研究生的學(xué)制應(yīng)該縮短,其課程應(yīng)該能在5年內(nèi)完成。A項(xiàng)表述與此相符。原文僅提到完成課程,并沒有提及拿到學(xué)位,故排除8。c項(xiàng)中的“撰寫更短的論文”是縮短學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間造成的結(jié)果,并不是that指代的內(nèi)容,故排除。D項(xiàng)中的suggestions用的是復(fù)數(shù),指M.LA.提供的所有建議,l而that僅指代其中的一條,故排除。故本題選A。

     30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

    A. Ph.D. students' imagination tends to be subverted by their dissertation writing.

    B. More time should be saved for Ph.D. students to cultivate their professional skills.

    C. With the dissertation shortened and simplified, Ph.D. students can afford more time to hunt for job.

    D. By adopting M.L.A.'s suggestion, graduate programs should guarantee academic jobs for all graduates.

    參考答案:B。
    參考解析:推斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“At the same time.graduate students are encouraged to‘broaden’themselves:to‘engage more deeply with technology’;to pursue unusual and imaginative dissertation projects;t0…”可知,在學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間縮短后,學(xué)生可以把時(shí)間用來擴(kuò)展自己:包括深入了解科技,研究與眾不同的、富有想象力的論文項(xiàng)目等。B項(xiàng)表述與之符合。根據(jù)該段中的“Graduate programs,the committee suggests,should acceptthefactthatmanyoftheir studentswillhavenon—tenured,or evennon.a(chǎn)cademic,careers”可排除D。A、C兩項(xiàng)文章均未提及。故本題選B。
