《英语》真题

(总分：100.00，做题时间：90分钟)

一、 Vocabulary(总题数：30，分数：60.00)

1.The great use of a school education is not so much to teach you things______to teach you the art of learning.

（分数：2.00）

A.but

B.nor

C.as √

D.like

【解析】本题考查固定结构。not so much…as…为固定结构，意为"与其说……，不如说……"。句意：学校教育的重要作用与其说是教授你知识，不如说是教授你学习之道。

2.All flights______, we decided to take a greyhound.

（分数：2.00）

A.were canceled

B.had been canceled

C.having canceled

D.having been canceled √

【解析】本题考查独立主格结构。逗号后没有连词提示，本空应填非谓语动词，故首先排除[A]项和[B]项。空所在部分的逻辑主语为All nights，而句子的主语是we，因此是考查独立主格结构。nights与cancel之间为被动关系，故选[D]项，因而排除[C]项。

3.This company has now introduced a policy______pay rises are related to performance at work.

（分数：2.00）

A.which

B.where √

C.whether

D.what

【解析】本题考查定语从句。分析空前后句子结构可知，主要成分均完整，中间也没有连词，故本空所填词应引导定语从句，所以首先排除[C]项和[D]项。which虽引导定语从句时，句中作主语、宾语或表语，故也排除。题干中，company为定语从句的先行词，定语从句关系副词用where，故答案为[B]项。

4.The American businessman had difficulty at times working with his local counterparts in Guangdong Province, for he could speak______Cantonese than Mandarin.

（分数：2.00）

A.no more √

B.not more

C.no less

D.not less

【解析】本题考查固定结构。no more…than…意为"……与……都不，同……一样不"，相当于neither…nor…，含有消极、否定的意味。than前后两部分在意义上都是否定的。not more…than意为"不及……，不如……"，是more…than的否定表达。表示程度上的差异。no less…than…意为"与……一样，不比……差"，强调两者具有同等性。not less…than意为"不比……更"，是

less…than的否定表达。根据前面分句中的had difficulty…working with…Guangdong Province 可知，这位美国商人的粤语和普通话说得都不好，故答案为[A]项。

5.He came into the manager's office______ that he was dismissed.

（分数：2.00）

A.only to be told √

B.being told

C.in order to be told

D.telling

【解析】本题考查非谓语动词。动词不定式用来表示结果，尤其是表示不曾料想或不希望发生的动作时，可在前加only。分析句子可知，他走进经理办公室后，应该是被告知，故用动词不定式的被动式，所以答案为[A]项。

6.The new director made it clear that his staff were not to accept gifts from clients, ______.

（分数：2.00）

A.be they jewelry or football tickets √

B.they are jewelry or football tickets

C.whether are jewelry or football tickets

D.no matter are jewelry or football tickets

【解析】本题考查让步状语从句的倒装。由whether引导的让步状语从句中，如果谓语动词是be，此时whether省略，主谓语颠倒，此时动词必须用be，没有人称、数和时态的变化，故答案为[A]项。

7.The terrible disease is said ______the number-one killer of both men and women over the past few years in that region.

（分数：2.00）

A.being

B.to be

C.to have been √

D.having been

【解析】本题考查非谓语动词。be said to do是固定结构，由句中的时间状语over the past few years可知，动作发生在谓语动作之前，故应用动词不定式的完成式作宾语，故答案为[C]项。

8.______your timely advice, I would never have known how to go about the work.

（分数：2.00）

A.Unless

B.But for √

C.Except for

D.Not for

【解析】本题考查虚拟语气在含蓄条件中的用法。此用法中，假设的情况不是用一个条件句来表示，而是隐含在诸如without，but for，but that等构成的短语或句子中，或由连词but，副词otherwise，以及比较级等表示的上下文中。因此，根据题意和语法规则，But for为最佳答案。

9.The doctor ______a medicine for the child's stomach pains.

（分数：2.00）

A.described

B.subscribed

C.prescribed √

D.inscribed

【解析】本题考查动词辨析。根据句意可知，医生(the doctor)应给病人开药(a medicine)符合语义，故答案为prescribed，意为"开处方，给医嘱"。described意为"描写、形容，叙述，

描绘、作图"。subscribed意为"认、捐赠，签署，题词，署名，认购，订阅，订购"。inscribed 意为"雕、刻，题写、题献"。

10.The ______family in Chinese cities now spends more money on housing than before.

（分数：2.00）

A.normal

B.average √

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/1710709965.html,ual

D.general

【解析】本题考查形容词辨析。normal意为"正常的"，虽然有时也可意为"平常的，普通的"，但强调的是达到正常水平，与abnormal(不正常)相对。average在本句中表示"普通的，一般的"，强调一般水平或普通水准。usual意为"平常的，通常的，惯常的"，强调习惯性的、常见的、不稀奇的。general意为"普通的，普遍的"时，强调的是影响有关事物大多数的，具有大多数的特征的，故答案为[B]项。句意：中国城市的普通家庭目前在住房上的消费比以前多。

11.Prices are ______to variation without notice.

（分数：2.00）

A.possible

B.trendy

C.likely

D.subject √

【解析】本题考查形容词辨析。possible意为"可能的，可接受的，合理的、可以允许的"，常用于be possible to do sth．(做某事是可能的)结构。trendy意为"时髦的"。likely意为"可能的，适合的，有希望的"，常用于be likely to do sth．(可能做某事)结构。subject意为"可能受……影响的，易遭受……的"，常用于be subject to sth．结构。句意为：价格若有变动，不再另行通知。根据本空后的to variation可排除[A]项和[C]项，根据句意可排除[B]项。

12.Be careful when you talk to your boss. He is in a very bad ______today.

（分数：2.00）

A.motive

B.mood √

C.mind

D.notion

【解析】本题考查名词辨析。motive意为"动机，目的，原因"。mood意为"情绪，心情，气氛，氛围"，in a bad mood是固定用法，意为"心情不好"，故答案为[B]项。mind意为"头脑，心思，大脑，智慧"。notion意为"观念，信念，理解"。

13.The government has allocated ten million pounds to the tsunami-______area.

（分数：2.00）

A.sticken

B.stricken √

C.stuck

D.striked

【解析】本题考查形容词辨析。英文中没有sticken，直接排除。stricken意为"遭受……的；受灾的"，与tsunami-连用后表示"遭受海啸的"。根据空前的allocated(拨……(给))和tsunami (海啸)判断，政府应该是给海啸受灾地区拨款，故答案为[B]项。stuck意为"被……困住的；陷于……而动不了的；被……难住的；不知所措的"。没有striked这个词。

14.The branches could hardly ______the weight of the fruit.

（分数：2.00）

A.retain

B.sustain √

Passage Two The English language we know today is about six hundred years old. For half that time, English was just the language of the people living in England. The modern English language grew by about the year 1400. Now English is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is one of the working languages at international meetings, business, science and other fields. The differences between American English and British English are not very great. Written English is more or less the same in both Britain and America, though there are some spelling differences. For example, centre, license, color and travelled are spelt as center, license, color and traveled in American English. In America “cock, rubber, ill, holiday, lorry, post…” are called” rooster, eraser, sick, vacation, truck, mail…”. But people f rom the two countries can still understand each other easily. There are only a very small number of differences in grammar(语法) between American English and British English. The most important differences are in spoken English. For example, Americans pronounce “tomato” differently from English people. Y ou may wonder “Which is correct?” The answer is that it does not matter. Y ou should speak either American English or British English. But do not try to speak both at the same time. 26. When was English only spoken in England? B A. About the 6th century B. Before the 17th century C. Before the 14th century D. Before the 15th century 27. Why is English the most widely used language in the world? Because __C__. A. it has the largest number of speakers in the world B. it is spoken not only in Britain but also in America C. it is one of the most important working language in many fields D. A, B and C 28. Which sentence about the difference between British and American English is NOT true? C A. There are some small spelling differences. B. Most of the words are the same C. There are quite a few differences in grammar. D. There are lots of differences in spoken English. 29. ___A_ are the words in American English. A. Rooster, eraser, color, truck, mail B. V acation, ill, travelled, licence, center C. Mail, traveled, sick, color, license D. Sick, truck, color, rooster, post 30. The writer asks us not to try to speak both at the same time

2016研究生入学统一考试试题及答案解析(英语二) Section 1 Use of English Directions: Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark [A], [B], [C] or [D] on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points) Happy people work differently. They’re more productive, more creative, and willing to take greater risks. And new research suggests that happiness might influence__1__firm’s work, too. Companies located in places with happier people invest more, according to a recent research paper.__2__, firms in happy places spend more on R&D (research and development). That’s because happiness is linked to the kind of longer-term thinking__3__for making investments for the future. The researchers wanted to know if the__4__and inclination for risk-taking that come with happiness would__5__the way companies invested. So they compared U.S. cities’ average happiness__6__by Gallup polling with the investment activity of publicly traded firms in those areas. __7__enough, firms’ investment and R&D intensity were correlated with the happiness of the area in which they were__8__.But is it really happiness that’s linked to investment, or could something else about happier cities__9__why firms there spend more on R&D? To find out, the researchers controlled for various__10__that might make firms more likely to invest – like size, industry, and sales – and for indicators that a place was__11__to live in, like growth in wages or population. The link between happiness and investment generally__12__even after accounting for these things. The correlation between happiness and investment was particularly strong for younger firms, which the authors__13__to “less codified decision making process”and the possible presence of “younger and less__14__managers who are more likely to be influenced by sentiment.” The relationship was__15__stronger in places where happiness was spread more__16__.Firms seem to invest more in places where most people are relatively happy, rather than in places with happiness inequality. __17__ this doesn’t prove that happiness causes firms to invest more or to take a longer-term view, the authors believe it at least__18__at that possibility.
