答案解析：1.【答案】B 　　【解析】从空后的句子“他们解放的人们”可以看出，空前的句子表示的应该是参加了第二次大战的男人和女人。只有serve有“服兵役”的意思，所以选B。其他都不符合题意。2.【答案】B　　【解析】空内信息应该是与hero“英雄”意思相对，后面的分句说他背井离乡，经历了很多苦难，显然这里应该是说由普通人平凡人(commonman)成长为英雄，所以选B。3.【答案】A　　【解析】本题考查的是词语的搭配关系，承担战争带来的负担，应该用动词bear或shoulder，所以这里选A，bore。4.【答案】A　　【解析】necessities表示“生活必需品”，空外信息food和shelter(食物和住宿)这些就是维持生存最起码的条件。Facilities是设备设施，commodities商品，properties财产，均不符合题意。5.【答案】C　　【解析】not…but，“不是，而是”表转折，不是自愿兵，也没有高的报酬，而是一个普通人。所以选C。6.【答案】D　　【解析】这道题主要考查介词的搭配。根据up______(thebesttrained,bestequipped,fiercest,mostbrutal).enemies可以知道是起来反抗敌人，所以选D选项against。7.【答案】C　　【解析】GI。在军事上是GovernmentIssue的缩略语，所以，GL。这个符号就是象征着这个全称GovernmentIssue。选C。8.【答案】A　　【解析】该句意思为，GI。这个符号出现在给士兵分发的所有物品上，handout“分发，发放”符合题意。Turnover“移交”，bringback“带回”，passdown“传承，一代一代传下来”在句意上都说不通。9.【答案】D　　【解析】空所在句子的语境为：Joe是个普通名词，一个从未爬到社会顶层的人的名字。Manage表示再怎么经过努力，最终也未获得成功，所以选D。10.【答案】B　　【解析】结合第9题的分析可知，空所在句子实际上是进一步举例说明Joe没有取得大的成就：从来都不曾出现叫做Joe的总统、副总统、国务卿。根据句意只能选never，B。11.【答案】D　　【解析】本题考察词汇辨析。空所在的语境为：GI.Joe有的军旅生涯，曾和德国，美国以及韩国的军队作战。由此语境确定选D，其他几项均不符合题意。12.【答案】B　　【解析】本题考察词汇辨析。空所在语境为：他身上体现着美国人的某些特色，或身上结合了美国人的诸多特性。结合语境，可知作者想表达在他身上有很多美国人的典型特色，因而选B。13.【答案】C　　【解析】本题考察词汇辨析。空所在语境为：Pyle的士兵也本色出演了该片。结合上句对ErniePyle的介绍，可知为一战地记者(warcorrespondent)，确定答案C。14.【答案】D　　【解析】本题考察词汇辨析。空所在语境为：Pyle擅长报导战争的_ _面，报导这些浑身是尘土，积雪以及泥浆的士兵。Pyle报导重在士兵而非战争上，因而可确定他关注的应更多的是人性。所以选D。15.【答案】D　　【解析】本题考察词汇辨析。本题承接上题，表达：Pyle并不关注士兵行军多少里，或是占领或解放了多少地方。Gain有推进(一段)距离的意思，故选D。16.【答案】A　　【解析】本题考察词汇辨析。空所在语境为：他的报导与BillMaulden的是_____的。紧接的一句话揭示了本题的答案，两者都(Bothmen)。由此可确定两人的报导应是类似的。因而，选A。“counteracted”表示“抵制，中和，对抗 ”，duplicated表示“ 复制，重复”，“contradicted”表示“反驳，与...矛盾”。17.【答案】C　　【解析】本题考察逻辑搭配。空所在语境为：两者都战争的丑恶，以及所带来的损耗。”由上题可知道，Pyle更加注重战争中的士兵，因而他不可能是忽略(neglected)，避免(avoided)或是钦佩(admired)战争所带来的这一些负面的东西，因而本题选C。18.【答案】B　　【解析】本题由冒号后多表达的咖啡，香烟，威士忌，住的地方，还睡觉的地方，有好的觉可以睡与前面所说的前面dirt,exhaustionofwar形成鲜明的对比。故选B19.【答案】B　　【解析】本题考察介词的用法。空所在语境为：印度，法国，以及其他国家，G.I.Joe可以是任何美国士兵。结合文章表达，应是对于这些人而言。因而，确定答案B。20.【答案】D　　【解析】本题考察逻辑搭配。空所在语境为：G.I.Joe是他们生命中最重要的人。原题四个选项分别表示onthecontrary“ 正相反”； [B]bythismeans“用这种方式”；[C]fromtheoutset“从一开始”；[D]atthatpoint表示“就那点(方面)来说”。D为最佳答案。 　　Text121.【答案】A　　【解析】文章首段首句指出“家庭作业一直不受学生，还有许多家长的欢迎，特别是到了最近几年，家庭作业还遭到了人们的不屑。”后面的内容则是简单提出美国各学区对于家庭作业的作为，引出L.A.Unified针对家庭作业所指定的政策。该题题干问的是“根据文章首段，目前家庭作业…”，关键词是家庭作业，因此答案从首句就能判断出来，题干的nowadays对应原文中的inrecentyears，所选答案则是对“ithasbeenparticularlyscorned。”的同义改写，故答案选A。22.【答案】C　　【解析】文章第二段首句明确说到“这项政策的制定是为了解决贫困家庭的学生在完成家庭作业中可能遇到的困难。”这与题干所问“制定该政策的主要原因”以及“贫困学生”就对应起来了，故答案选C。23.【答案】A　　【解析】文章第三段第二句指出，“如果家庭作业仅占分值的10%，学生很容易少做一半的家庭作业，在他们的成绩单上也不会有什么差别。”“家庭作业仅占分值10%”这是L.A.Unified制定出的家庭作业政策的内容，因此，从这句话可以看出有了这项政策，既然成绩单上不会有区别，学生就会选择少做一半的家庭作业，这个意思对应选项为A。24.【答案】B　　【解析】题干关键词“akeyquestionunanswered”对应第四段的首句“thepolicyaddressesnoneofthetrulythornyquestionsabouthomework。”而这个问题的具体内容则是从“if”开始说明，因此这道题要解出正确答案，需要对后面的内容进行分析，“如果学区认为家庭作业对应学生的学业不重要，学区应致力于减少或者删除家庭作业，使家庭作业不起任何作用；相反，如果家庭作业重要，它应该在学业中占重要的一部分。”从这两句的内容中，我们可以简单归纳出，L.A.Unified所指定的这项政策到目前为止还未对家庭作业对于学生学业是否有重要作用给出确定答案，故答案选B。25.【答案】D　　【解析】这篇文章开篇指出家庭作业的弊病，随即提出美国各学区对此做出的努力，以L.A.Unified所指定的政策为例，说明这项政策在各方面的作为，如第三段末尾说“Thepolicyimposesaflat,across-the-boardrule”，第四段首句说“这项政策并未解决任何关于家庭作业的棘手问题”，看出作者对于这项政策实际是持否定态度的，因此答案B可以排除；而C选项说的是“关于家庭作业的棘手问题”，文章中虽然提到这个“棘手问题”，但并非主要阐述，最终落脚点还是在关于家庭作业的政策上面，因此C选项排除；A选项的错误在于“错误解读”，文章是对政策进行客观解读，错误的是政策本身，而非解读。D选项考生可能不选的原因在于对“approach”一词的内涵意义不够理解，approach一词本意是接近，靠近，方法，它引申出来就是策略的意思，与文章中的policy内涵一致，故答案D为正确选项。Text226.【答案】A　　【解析】题干的意思是“通过说‘粉色是彩虹中多么微小的一小部分’，作者的意思是       。根据文章第一段第三行，but作为连词表示后面的内容是对前面内容的否定，but之前的意思是说“粉色本身并不是不好”，而后买面的“suchatinysliceof”是指“是彩虹中多么微小的一部分”，由此可以得出，粉色并不代表女孩童年生活的全部。所以，选A。27.【答案】B　　【解析】题干是要根据文章第二段，判断哪个是对颜色理解正确的选项。根据文章第二段第一句话，前半部分是说“女孩对于粉色的关注看起来好像是不可避免的，不知怎么的，就跟存在与她们的基因里一样”，but之后是对前者的否定，所以很明显，A项是错误的。根据第二段的第7行，pinkwasactuallyconsideredthemoremasculinecolour,可以得出，C选项错误。对于D选项，根据第二段第4、5行，可以得知，儿童穿白色是属于以前的情况，并非现在的事实，而D选项的时态是指一般现在时，时态不符合。根据文章8行，9行，可以得知，bluesymbolizedfemininity,可以得知，蓝色曾经被认为是女孩子的颜色，符合文章题意。所以，选B。28.【答案】A　　【解析】题干“作者认为我们对于儿童心理发展的看法，多受____的影响。”从原文第三段的首句“我之前没有意识到，我们对孩子们所固有特性的认知深受市场趋势的支配，包括我们对他们心理发展的核心看法”，这一句可以明显看出相关儿童市场及其产品在左右人们对二年同心理发展的看法上所起的重要作用。而B、C、D均曲解了原文的意思，故本题正确答案为A29.【答案】C　　【解析】题干“从第4段我们可以看出，给出商店的建议是＿＿＿”选项A“关注婴儿和稍大一些的孩子的衣服”，回顾原文，第4段第1句话讲的是“为了增加销路，厂家应该开创在婴儿衣服和稍大一些的孩子衣服之前的一些商机”，而并没说是要“关注两者的衣服”，故A错误；B“把不同性别放在同等重要的地位”，此说法原文中并未提及，原文第4段只是在最后一句说道“分割市场最简便的方法之一就是来扩大性别之间的差异性”，故B错误；D“创造一些购买者的术语”，作者只是举出了一个“购买术语”的例子，但这不是作者的建议，真正是的建议是C，故C为正确答案。30.【答案】C　　【解析】题干“我们能推断出，女孩们对粉色的着迷看起来是＿＿＿”文章最后两段都在探讨市场和厂家对人们看法和观念的诱导，因此C选项正合题意，其他选项都不正确。Text331.【答案】C             　　【解析】文章首段首句提到“In2010,afederaljudgeshookAmerica'sbiotechindustrytoitscore。”，即2010年，联邦的一项决定震惊了美国的生物科技产业。后面接着提到，这项决定是“geneswereunpatentable”，意思是与基因相关的项目不能够获得专利权，而“executiveswereviolentlyagitated”，由agitated(愤怒的)可以推断出正确答案为C，即生物科技产业希望与基因相关的项目能够获得专利权。32.【答案】 B                　　【解析】文章第三段提到了反对基因相关的项目能够获得专利权的三个理由。第一个是，基因是自然的产品；第二个是，基因获得专利会压制创新；第三个是，基因专利的垄断会限制基因测试。故正确答案为B。33.【答案】A       　　【解析】文章第五段中提到“Firmsarenowstudyinghowgenesinteract,lookingforcorrelationsthatmightbeusedtodeterminethecausesofdiseaseorpredictadrug'sefficacy”，即各大公司目前正在研究基因之间的相互作用，寻找它们之间的相关性，从而通过这些相关性推断疾病产生的原因或预测药物的有效性。而HansSauer解释到各大公司渴望赢得专利权的原因是“connectingthedots”，这与上句话提到的“疾病之间的相互作用和相互联系”相呼应，故而选A。答案B属于偷换概念；答案C和D在文中没有提到。34.【答案】C       　　【解析】文章最后一段提到了BIO最近要召开的一个会议。“Eachmeetingwaspacked”，这句话中的“packed”的原义为“打包，包装”，而在此句中的意思是：挤满，塞满。即会议挤满了人，从而反映了大家对基因专利的关注，故正确答案为C。答案A与题干无关；答案B属于主观臆断；答案D是干扰项，训练律师只是这次大会的一部分内容，以偏概全。35.【答案】D               　　【解析】从整体上看，作者不仅提到了希望获得基因专利全的生物科技产业为此所作出的努力，同时也提到了反对者反对的理由，文章第四段进一步提到了基因获得专利过程中遇到的实际问题。故而，作者多基因专业的态度是客观的，即答案D。Text436.【答案】D　　【解析】题目定位在段首句。所以应该是整段意思的概括。第二句说，失业虽然很痛苦，但也从很多方面带来好处。冒号后面具体说他们从观念上，生活方式上发生了改变。所以选择D。A、B均为无关选项，C选项中说makeprofit,是侧重指获得经济利益，所以与原文不符。37.【答案】D　　【解析】第二句冒号后面：他们不再那么追求物质，经济上更节俭；同时意识到其他人在努力奋斗，即D选项中reconsidertheirlifestyle,重新审视他们的生活方式。A项有干扰性，但文中说“将我们从梦想中唤醒”，所以不对。B、C没有提到。38.【答案】B　　【解析】定位在第三段第二句开始。接下来一句通过关键词mean-spiritedandlessinclusive，B选项正是该句的改写，故为正确答案；A属于过度推理；C、D意思明显弄反了39.【答案】D　　【解析】定位在第四段第三句冒号后面：高等学府的毕业生能够很快调整自身，达到未遭遇危机时的状态。D选项与之含义相符。C明显不对，“notallpeoplegraduatingintoarecessionseetheirlifechancesdimmed”表明，不是所有的毕业生都认为前途渺茫。B项无中生有。A与原文相反。40.【答案】A　　【解析】由最后一句可知，“theycertainlywillreshapeit”表示困难时期的一定会对社会产生影响的，所以certain与之相符。由最后一段无法看出是positive还是destructive,所以B、D均不正确。A项是“无足轻重的”，明显不对。41.【答案】A　　【解析】本题答案锁定在第三自然段，第二行讲到“Petrarchbegan...highlightingthevirtueofclassicalheroes”即彼特拉克在他的书中强调古典英雄的美德。答案A与此是完全对应的。42.【答案】F　　【解析】此题定位于第三自然段第五行，重点理解词组“turnonitshead”,意思为“tochangesthcompletely”，所以说与彼特拉克强调伟人的virtue相比，尼可洛马基雅维利将狡诈、无情、粗蛮试作成功领导人的技能，而不是重视美德、仁慈与公正。43.【答案】G　　【解析】此题定位于第四自然段的第四行，“Self-helpasacatalogueoftheworthylivesofengineers,industrialistsandexplorers”，塞缪尔•斯迈尔斯在他的书《成事在己》里面讲到了工程师，实业家，探险家的有意义的生活，G与此是对应的44.【答案】C　　【解析】此题定位于第五自然段第三行，“theseepochalfiguresrepresentedliveshardtoimitate”，托马斯，卡莱尔描述了一些穿越苦难的划时代的人物。C对应了此答案。45.【答案】E　　【解析】此题定位于第六自然段第五行，“historyshouldbethestoryofthemassesandtheirrecordofstruggle”，答案E与此句是完全对应的。　46.【参考译文】发展中国家的人们为移民忧虑时，他们通常担忧的是离开自己国家去去硅谷或发达国家的医院和大学的最优秀、最聪明的群体的前景。这些劳动者正是像英国、加拿大、澳大利亚这样的国家通过赋予受过大学教育者以特权的移民法想要吸引的人群。　　很多研究发现，来自发展中国家的那些受到良好教育的人们极有可能选择移居他国。2004年对印度家庭开展了一项广泛的调查，结果显示约40%的移民受过高中以上的教育。相比而言，在所有年龄超过25岁的印度人中，受过高中以上教育的人数比例只有约3.3%。“人才流失”一直困扰着贫穷国家的政策制定者们。他们担心这会对本国的经济造成损害，造成国家急需的技工的流失。这些技术人员可能曾在他们的大学教学，也可能曾在他们的医院工作，或者曾经构想出智能化的新产品让他们的工厂去生产。　　【解析】今年翻译话题是贫穷国家的人才流失问题，话题内容比较好理解，从而在很大程度上降低了翻译的难度。但还是有几个地方有的同学可能会比较困惑。　　1)文章第一句的主句需要我们去认真思考下。“theyareusuallyconcernedattheprospectoftheirbestandbrightestdeparturetoSiliconValleyortohospitalsanduniversitiesinthedevelopedworld”　　这句话中concernat的宾语是prospect。看到“of”我们要立即想到“AofB”翻译为“B的A”在这里，A指的就是“prospect”，关键就是找出B指代的是什么。而这一点恰恰是本句理解的难点B指的是 “theirbestandbrightest”翻译为“他们中最优秀、最聪明的(群体)”。　　2)　　第一段第二句话关键在于对两个that引导的从句的理解。第一个that从句作定语修饰workers，第二个that作定语修饰rules。这里是考研英语中经常出现的一个考点：从句的嵌套。对于这样的句子我们的关键在于准确找到先行词，根据一个句子如果有N个连词就必定有N+1个动词的原则来切分开长句。　　3)“braindrain”这个词组是在报刊杂志中经常出现的，意思是“人才流失”。这个词语通过上下文逻辑应该能大概猜出它的意思，但是在考研考场上，尤其是在完成了阅读和作文后很多同学可能已经耗费了大量的体力和脑力，对于这个单词的猜测可能会很费力，甚至会放弃。这个说明我们再平时的学习过程中应该注意积累这样的热点词汇。　　4)“Theyfearthatithurtstheireconomies,deprivingthemofmuch-neededskilledworkerswho”对于这个句子的理解关键在于对于“depriving”之后成分在句子结构中作用的理解。Deprive本意是剥夺，在这里很显然不适合直译。我们根据逻辑关系可以翻译为“技工的流失”。“clever”这个单词很简单，同学们都认识，在这里翻译为“聪明的”很显然说不通，clever除了“聪明的”还有“精巧”之意，再结合这里说的是技术工人的重要性，我们可以翻译为“智能的”。参考范文：47.小作文DearSirorMadam,　　IamwritingthislettertomakeacomplaintaboutthequalityoftheelectronicdictionaryIboughtfromyourstoretheotherday.　　ThereasonformydissatisfactionisthatIfoundtheelectronicdictionarycan’treachmysatisfaction.Inthefirstplace,theoutlookisquitedifferentfromwhatitisplacedonline.Inaddition,thenumberofthevocabularycontainedinitistoosmall.I’dliketobuyanelectronicdictionarywithalargevocabulary.　　Iappreciateitverymuchifyoucouldchangeanothersatisfyingoneforme.AndIwouldliketohavethismattersettledbynextFriday.ThankyouforyourconsiderationandIwillbelookingforwardtoyourfavorablereply.　　YoursSincerely,　　ZhangWei48.大作文　　Heredemonstratesatablewithregardtothedegreeofsatisfactiononworkofstaffinacompanyrangingfromthreedifferentagegroups,under40,40to50,andabove50respectively.Specificallyspeaking,peopleintheirfortiesareleastsatisfiedwiththeirpresentworksituationattherateof64.0%.Incomparison,peopleover50aremostsatisfiedwiththeircurrentsituationat40.0%.Anoticeablefigureisthathalfthestaffundertheageof40havenoideaabouttheirconditions.　　Thereprovetobeanumberofreasonsaccountingforit.Firstandforemost,ithassomethingtodowiththestructureofstaff’sage,especiallywiththeirworkingandlifeexperienceinwhichtheyplayapivotalrole.Whatismore,thissocialissueislikelytobeintertwinedwiththeorganizationofthecompanywheretheyserve.　　Inlinewithmypersonalthinking,therearetwomajorfactorsthatshouldbetakenintoaccountseriously.Ononehand,thegeneralpeopleconcernedshouldenhancetheirawarenessinthisrespect.Whatismore,therelevantcompanyshouldincreasethebenefitsfortheiremployees.Onlyifthesemeasuresareadoptedeffectivelycanpeopleworkinpeaceandcontentandcompaniesbenefitmost.
