2022年成人學(xué)位英語(yǔ)考試考前預(yù)測(cè)題3

Part I Reading Comprehension

A teddy bear is delivered to No. 10 Downing Street after the birth of Prime Minister Tony Blair and wife Cherie’s fourth child.

Britain’s baby alert is over-Cherie Blair gave birth to a boy.

Mrs. Blair, 45, wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair, had the baby this morning.

The baby will be named Leo after the prime minister’s father, his office announced, the baby weighed in at 6 pounds, 12 ounces. Mother, father and the baby boy returned to 10 Downing Street-the prime minister’s official residence-after the birth, a spokesman said. The baby is the couples’ fourth child.

“Cherie and the baby are absolutely fine,” Blair said today outside his Downing Street residence. “He is a gorgeous little boy. They are resting right now.”

Blair, dressed casually in an open shirt, appeared emotional about the birth, the first of his four children whose birth he has been at from beginning to end.

“this is the first time I’ve seen the whole thing though,” he said. “it was quite a struggle, really, for Cherie.”

The switchboard was reportedly lit up with calls from world leaders wishing them well, including a call from Hillary Colliery Clinton. Former prime minister John Major was the first public figure to get through on the phone at 7 a.m. on Saturday.

The baby came after a 12-year gap from the Blairs other three children-Euan, 16, Nicky, 14, and Kathryn. He is the first to be born to a serving Buitish prime minister in over 150 years.

News of the pregnancy took Cherie and the rest of the nation by surprise when it was announced last year.

After decades of much older occupants at No.10 Downing Street, the Blairs’ arrival at the prime minister’s residence with their children and assorted toys in tow was hailed as a breath of fresh air.

Cherie Blair, a Queens Counsel barrister, worked right up until the baby’s birth. And the often thorny issue of combining career and family was at the center of her work.

On Tuesday, Mrs. Blair was at work in the High Court, challenging her husband’s government over parental leave.

參考答案：

1.B

解析： 我們從原文第三段和倒數(shù)第四段可知，去年布萊爾夫人懷孕的消息一傳開(kāi)，英國(guó)人感到非常吃驚：她45歲才生下這個(gè)小孩，這個(gè)年紀(jì)生小孩是很危險(xiǎn)的年齡。英國(guó)人很擔(dān)心他們的首相夫人能否順利生產(chǎn)。因此，B最符合原義。

2. C

考點(diǎn)：這是一個(gè)判斷題;問(wèn)的是以下哪一個(gè)有關(guān)這個(gè)嬰兒的說(shuō)法是正確的。

解析：從前四段我們可以看出，布萊爾夫人剛生下一個(gè)男孩;這個(gè)男孩是布萊爾夫妻的第四個(gè)孩子，他重六磅，12盎司。孩子出生以后，由父母帶回唐寧街十號(hào)。由此我們可以得知，這個(gè)孩子不是在唐寧街十號(hào)出生的。故C不符合原文。

3. C

考點(diǎn)：這是一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)分析題;問(wèn)的是布萊爾夫人是一個(gè)怎么樣的人。

解析：該題的信息出現(xiàn)在文章最后兩段。從該部分我們可以得知，布萊爾夫人是一名律師，她的孩子出生前一直在堅(jiān)持工作，星期二那天，她正在高等法庭工作，對(duì)她丈夫的產(chǎn)假制度提出了挑戰(zhàn)。由此我們可以看出，布萊爾夫是一位非常堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的女性。所以，本題的答案為C。

4. B

考點(diǎn)：這是一個(gè)詞匯題;考的是如何通過(guò)上下文判斷詞義。

解析：該詞所在的句子出現(xiàn)在倒數(shù)第二段里，這句話(huà)的意思是解決好事業(yè)和家庭的關(guān)系經(jīng)常是她工作的焦點(diǎn)。事業(yè)和家庭之間的關(guān)系對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)棘手的問(wèn)題;由此我們可以得知，該詞的意思是困難的，棘手的。這個(gè)詞的意思還可以從該詞的詞根判斷出來(lái)。我們都知道，“thorny”的意思是“荊棘”，通過(guò)構(gòu)詞法我們可以知道，n + y構(gòu)成了這個(gè)詞的形容詞形式。由此也可知道，該詞的詞義是“棘手的”。

5. D

考點(diǎn)：這是一個(gè)主旨題;考的是文章的題目。

解析：本文開(kāi)頭直接提到首相府邸新嬰兒的出生。然后對(duì)母子的情況作了簡(jiǎn)要的報(bào)告。整篇文章都是對(duì)布萊爾夫人生小孩的報(bào)道，所以，最符合原文的題目應(yīng)該是D。

6.B　　get sb to do sth.　意為"讓某人做......".

7. C where = in which, “where…., there are…. ” 指"哪兒有...，就有...".

在本句中，where引導(dǎo)地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ).

8. B　　distinguish right from wrong 的意思是“分清是非”，是固定搭配。所以B是正確答案。A 的意思是“感覺(jué)、覺(jué)察”，C 的意思是“看到、發(fā)現(xiàn)”，D的意思是“觀(guān)察”均不符合題意。

9. C would rather +句子(過(guò)去時(shí))(虛擬語(yǔ)氣)：I’d rather you didn’t tell anyone what I said.你最好別告訴任何人我所說(shuō)的話(huà)。I’d rather you came with me. 你還是和我一起來(lái)吧。

10. B　 except 和except for 都是介詞，后面接短語(yǔ)。而except that和except when后面接賓語(yǔ)從句。that在從句中只起連接作用。而when在從句中做狀語(yǔ)。如：She knew nothing about his journey except that he was likely to be away for three months.關(guān)于他們的旅行她不清楚，只知道他大概要離開(kāi)三個(gè)月。(that 在賓語(yǔ)從句中只起連接作用)He was a man of fine character in all points except that he was rather timid.他在各方面都很好，除了有點(diǎn)膽小。而本句要選擇except when，因?yàn)閣hen 在從句中做狀語(yǔ)。

11. C　 “look into ”的意思是“調(diào)查”，本句的意思是“我保證一到那就調(diào)查這件事情”。“look for”：尋找。Will you help me look for my gloves? 你能幫我尋找我的手套嗎?look in:朝里面看。I looked in my purse and discovered I’d only got a five-pound note.我朝錢(qián)包里一看，發(fā)現(xiàn)只有一張五英鎊的鈔票。 look after: 照顧、照看。He has looked after his elderly parents for many years. 他照料年邁的父母已經(jīng)多年了。

12. D make out 有“辨認(rèn)出、聽(tīng)出”的意思。又如：It was difficult to make out what was said over the loudspeaker in the square. 很難聽(tīng)清楚廣場(chǎng)上的擴(kuò)音喇叭里在說(shuō)什么。make for: 走向，朝…前進(jìn)。It’s late, we’d better make for home. 時(shí)間不早了，我們最好趕快回家。Make for the beach!向海灘前進(jìn)!make sure: 設(shè)法保證。He went round making sure that all the windows were closed. 他巡視了一遍，看看所有的窗戶(hù)是否都已關(guān)上。make over: 翻新、改造。The house has been made over into a school. 房屋已經(jīng)改成一所學(xué)校。 Human nature can’t be made over so easily. 人性并非那么容易改變的。

13. B 這句話(huà)的意思是：我到處找食用油，但是一點(diǎn)也沒(méi)有找到.注意little　一點(diǎn)，一些;雖然也用于修飾不可數(shù)名詞，但是表達(dá)否定含義.它前面有一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折詞but，說(shuō)明后句與前句的關(guān)系，結(jié)果應(yīng)該是與找油的目的相反的含義，找了，但是沒(méi)有找到.所以用B.

14. A 我們剛坐下就發(fā)現(xiàn)是該走的時(shí)間了.no sooner……than……： 一……就…… 固定結(jié)構(gòu)， 引起句子倒裝.這種形式會(huì)經(jīng)?？嫉?

15. B 繁重的工作之后他感到很累，就躺到床上睡了.現(xiàn)在分詞形式做伴隨狀語(yǔ).

16. A by far強(qiáng)調(diào)比較級(jí)或最高級(jí)，在強(qiáng)調(diào)比較級(jí)時(shí)，比較級(jí)前也要用the.

17. D feel like doing sth. 意為"想做某事".

18. A 你將很快適應(yīng)這里的氣候，然后氣溫的變化就不會(huì)影響你了.注意：be used to sth/doing sth 和 get used to sth./doint sth.都表示"習(xí)慣于......"

19. B except for “除了...外”，前后不屬于同一性質(zhì)，常用來(lái)表示可惜或者美中不足的語(yǔ)氣，例如，本題前半部分講到的是"你的寫(xiě)作發(fā)好"，而后半部分講到"一些拼寫(xiě)錯(cuò)誤"，前后顯然不屬于同一性質(zhì);except是"除了...之外"，前后屬于同一性質(zhì);besides, in addition to 都指"除了...，還有...".

20. D 新思想往往要到若干年后才能被完全接受.新思想是被接受的，所以要用被動(dòng)形式，故D選項(xiàng)正確.
