2018年学位英语考试自测习题及答案(8)

  Part I : Cloze

  Television, it is often said, keeps one 1 about current events, allows one to follow the 2 developments in science and politics, and 3 an endless series of programs which are both 4 and stimulating. The most distant 5 and the strangest customs ate brought right 6 one‘s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this 7 just as well: but on television everything is much more living, much more 8 . Yet here is a danger, The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical fascination for us. We get 9 used to looking at its movements, so 10 on its flickering pictures, that it begins to 11 our lives. A friend of 12 told me the other day that his television set had broken 13 and that he and his family had suddenly found that they had far more time to do things, and that they had 14 begun to talk to each other again. It makes one think, 15 it!

  There are many other arguments for and against television. The poor 16 of its programs is often criticized. But it is undoubtedly a great comfort to many 17 elderly people. And does it corrupt or instruct our children? I think we must realize that television 18 is neither good nor bad, It is the uses 19 which it is put that determine its 20 to society.

  1. B informative 提供资料的,了解的; 据说电视可以让人了解当前的形势情况,…;inform 通知,向…报告,了解; familiar 熟悉的,冒昧的。

  2. C latter 后者; latest 最近的,最新的; 与前面一句为并列句,意为“可以使人跟得上最新的科学和政治发展。”根据这句话的意思,我们知道应该用latest.

  3. A offer 提供; award 给…颁奖;reward 回报,报答;avail 有益于; 这句与前面的句子依然是并列句, 这道题我们根据语意很容易选出应该是A,意思是:电视还可以给观众提供无数的电视节目。

  4. B  instructive 有教育意义的; constructive 建造的,建设的; illuminating 启示性的,启发的。这个很显然是B,意思是说电视节目既有教育意义又有娱乐功能。

  5. D  遥远国家的最古怪的风俗习惯被呈现出来,D项意义最符合。

  6. B  这些电视节目在客厅里被呈现出来,故划线处要求填写的介词应该为into,意味把这些电视节目给你带到客厅里来。

  7. C  也许有人会说,收音机也可以提供这样的服务。根据文章,这些节目是为人服务的,可以得到正确选项C,另外,就看选项意思排除法也可以得出可用service,相对来说这道题很容易得分。

  8. B  true 真的,真实的; vivid 鲜艳的,生动的; actual 实际的; real真的;但是在电视上看一切都显得很生动,这说出了电视与收音机的区别。根据选择项意思与上下文可知B正确。

  9. C 如果做不出来,往后看,并列的一句也是so开头的,后面还有that引导的一句话(so…that…  如此…以至于…),显然那么我们把意思下理顺可知C正确。

  10. B 选项Bdependent后面跟介词on,dependent on 意思是“依靠,依赖”;大意是说,我们如此依赖电视那些连续运动的闪烁画面,以至于它开始控制我们的生活。

  11. A dominate 控制,掌控;master 掌握; rule 规定; ruin毁了;根据上一句也推出,对电视太依赖了以至于生活中离不开它,从某意义上说它控制了我们的生活。

  12. C  a friend of mine 我的一个朋友;mine为名词性物主代词,意思是“我的”,在这里它相当于 my friends;而my是一个形容词性物主代词。

  13. A 他的电视机坏了…,机器了用break down.

  14. B 电视坏了之后他和他家里人突然发现有好多事情要该做,并且事实上他们又可以再相互交流了。根据句意可知用B,actually.

  15. B 反意疑问句,一般现在式,显然选B.

  16. B quantity 数量; quality 质量; character 性格; grade 年级,分数;这句话是说:对于电视有不少人持赞成或者反对的态度。电视节目的什么不好常遭到批评呢?看选项,显然用quality 质量。

  17. A 但是毫无疑问地,这对于上了年纪的孤独的(lonely,注意这个词是形容词词性,所修饰词是老人:elderly people)老人来说是一种极大的慰藉。另外,alone (这个单词只作表语)单独的; single 单个的; solitary 唯一的;这个题既考查了词意又考查了词性掌握程度。

  18. D television itself 电视自身;这句许是说,电视自身它既有好的一面,又有坏的一面,也就是正负作用兼有之。

  19. B put sth to use 开始启用…;故B正确。

  20. D price 价格; worth 值得…的; merit 长处,优点,功过; value 价值,重要性,益处;根据语意可知这里要说的是电视的社会价值,故用value.
