新航道2006考研英語命題預(yù)測題(一)(4)

字號:

"Into this happy world the nineteenth century brought two new facts: the breech-loading rifle and the British government. The first was an enormous luxury and blessing; the second an unmitigated nuisance. The convenience of the breech-loading, and still more of the magazine rifle, was nowhere more appreciated than in the Indian highlands.(48) A weapon which would kill with accuracy at fifteen hundred yards opened a whole new vista of delights to every family or clan which could acquire it. One could actually remain in one\'s own house and fire at one\'s neighbour nearly a mile away...
    "The action of the British government on the other hand was entirely unsatisfactory. The great organising, advancing, absorbing power to the southward seemed to be little better than a monstrous spoil-sport.
    "No one would have minded these expeditions if they had simply come, had a fight and then gone away again...But towards the end of the nineteenth century these intruders began to make roads through many of the valleys...All along the road people were expected to keep quiet, not to shoot one another, and, above all, not to shoot at travellers along the road. (49)It was too much to ask, and a whole series of quarrels took their origin from this source...
    "The Political Officers who accompanied the force...were very unpopular with the army officers...(50)They were accused of the grievous crime of \'shilly-shallying\', which being interpreted means doing everything you possibly can before you shoot. We had with us a very brilliant political officer...who was much disliked because he always stopped military operations. Just when we were looking forward to having a splendid fight and all the guns were loaded and everyone keyed up, [he] would come along and put a stop to it."

    Section I Use of English

    解析: 本題測試點(diǎn)為詞義辨析。A意為“文學(xué)作品”; B意為“記敘文”;C意為“故事”、“小說”;D意為“小說”;。在本題中,根據(jù)句意需要選用的是表達(dá)“小說”這個意思,C和D都符合,但是這段中間有non-fiction,表示暢銷書的另一類,因此應(yīng)選D。
    2.答案B. from
    句意:從恐怖小說到凱瑟琳·米勒的《凱瑟琳·M的性生活》全都榜上有名
    解析:本題測試點(diǎn)為句意理解和固定詞組搭配。A. C D都是“關(guān)于”的意思。根據(jù)句意以及后面介詞“to”可知,應(yīng)該是“from…to… ”這個固定搭配的介詞短語,因此選B。
    3.答案A. both
    句意:這部小說既被贊美為”高雅藝術(shù)”,又被諷刺為高級色情文學(xué)。
    解析:本題測試點(diǎn)為句意理解和并列連詞的用法。B. equally意為“同等地”,但是“高雅藝術(shù)”和“高級色情文學(xué)”并不能被稱作“同等”。 D意為“一起”。根據(jù)句意以及后面的連詞and可推斷應(yīng)選A,是固定搭配,表示既……又……。

    [總體分析] 本篇介紹的是911事件后美國對索馬里政策以及索馬里內(nèi)部軍閥政策的轉(zhuǎn)變。文章從美國的舉措、索馬里軍閥的反應(yīng)和舉措等方面進(jìn)行記敘。就本篇文章而言,理請思路,分清美國和索馬里軍閥不同的舉措是非常重要的。 [詳細(xì)解答] 41.F 本段主要講述美國911事件前索馬里采取的政策,然后引出911事件后政策的改變。從上文中“This, like so much else, changed on September 11th.”可以推斷,接下來講的應(yīng)該是事件后的舉措。 [D[]E[F]似乎都于事件后舉措有關(guān),但[D]講的是西方國家總體的策略,而[E]講的是美國情報人員的具體行動,只有[F]講的是美國舉措,而且下面一段講的就是這個舉措的具體情況。因此F與上文內(nèi)容相吻合。 42.G 本段上文講的是美國將伊斯蘭極端主義組織定為恐怖組織,下文是說美國擔(dān)心索馬里會成為逃亡人員的避難所,以及美國海軍、偵察機(jī)的行動。[A]講的是有關(guān)伊斯蘭極端主義組織的情況,似乎和上文可以接起來,但由 “Al-Itihaad subsequently infiltrated Somalia's business class”句中subsequently(隨后,后來)可以推斷這句話前面應(yīng)該是說該組織最初的一些情況,和上文It had listed a Somali Islamic group, al-Itihaad al-Islamiya (Islamic Unity), as a terrorist organisation.就不符合了。再仔細(xì)分析一下,這部分仍舊講的是美國的在不同方面實(shí)施的一些行動和舉措,而且中間幾個句子都用it作主語,回頭看一下幾個選項(xiàng),[G]講的也是一些舉措,并且主語為it,符合這段的行文和邏輯意思。 43.[B] 本題空白處是一段的開頭,下文講的是某個人的看法,而前一段講的是美國采取的行動,并未提到什么人,所以可以推斷空白處應(yīng)該是第一次講述有關(guān)這個人的情況,[B][C]都提到了人物,再具體看他們所說的話。[B]說的是there are "approximately 20,480 armed extremists" in Somalia and "85% of the government is al-Itihaad",[C]說的是an al-Itihaad camp on Ras Kamboni island is still active,而根據(jù)下文說的he would be ready "to liberate the country from these evil forces"可知上文提到的應(yīng)該是許多勢力,而[C]中只是一個“基地”陣營而已,所以[B]與下文內(nèi)容符合。 44.[C] 本題的上文講的是關(guān)于梅爾卡市目前的情況,而下文是聯(lián)合國對于該城市的某個情況的了解,后面又提到了這個島嶼和Kismaayo較近,可以推斷空白處應(yīng)該也是關(guān)于這個城市的內(nèi)容,選項(xiàng)中只有[C]提到了Ras Kamboni island,和下文吻合。而且an al-Itihaad camp on Ras Kamboni island is still active 這句話正是對上文的一個解釋,所以[C]是正確答案。 45.[A] 本題上文講的是有關(guān)al-Itihaad組織的情況,因此空白處應(yīng)該也是這方面內(nèi)容,所有選項(xiàng)中只有[A]提及了這個組織,講的是這個組織后來和目前的情況,而上文講的正好是該組織過去的狀況,正好吻合。所以[A]是正確答案。
