1.
[A] boasting鼓吹[B] denying否认[C] warning警告[D] ensuring确保
[答案] C
[解析]空格位于with引导的独立主格结构中,应填入动词的-ing形式;空格处动作的发出者是academics, writers,and activists,又因为下文显示人们对“ 没有工作的未来”持悲观看法,故C为正确答案,表示在学术界人士、作家和激进分子的警告下,人们产生了悲观看法。其他备选项中,A不符合段落的感情色彩,B、D不符合文意,故排除。
2.
[A] inequality不平等[B] instability不稳定[C] unreliability不可靠性[D] uncertainty不确定
[答案] A
[解析]空格后的句子指出“一些富人将拥有全部资本,而普通大众将在贫穷的荒原上挣扎”,由此可以推出没有工作的世界会呈现出“不平等”的特点,故选A。B、C、D均不符合文意,故排除。
3.
[A] policy政策[B]guideline指导方针[C] resolution决定;决心[D] prediction语言;预测
[答案] D
[解析]空格前一句描述了一些人对于“没有工作的世界”的猜想(imagine) ,本句承上启下,表述了另一些人的不同观点,因此空格处应填入“猜想”的近义词,prediction 意为“预测;语言”,最符合题意,故选D。
4.
[A] characterized以... 为特色[B]divided 分开[C] balanced平衡[D]measured测量
[答案] A
[考点]固定搭配题。
[解析]空格位于同位语结构中,进一步说明“ 另一种不同的荒原”的特点,be characterized by为固定搭配,意为“以...为特色",故选A。其余三项均不符合题意,故排除。
5.
[A] wisdom智慧[B] meaning意义[C] glory光荣,荣耀[D] freedom自由
[答案] B
[解析]空格所在句之前的部分出现了purposelessness, 意为“无目的性”,而空格所在的短句正是对这一概念的解释说明;根据常识判断,所谓“无目的性”就是指“生活缺乏意义”,故选B。A、C、D均不符合题意,故排除。
6.
[A] Instead相反,而[B] Indeed确实是[C] Thus因此[D] Nevertheless然而
[答案] B
[解析]空格所在处前一句指出“没有工作赋予人生意义,人们就会变得懒惰和抑郁”,空格所在句以美国失业人口的生活并不好为例,强调工作的重要性。空格处所填入的词应起到加强语气的作用,并表示递进的逻辑关系,故选B。其他选项均不符合题意,故排除。
7.
[A] rich富裕的[B] urban城市的[C]working 工作的[D] educated受教育的
[答案] C
[解析]空格所在句将两类人进行对比,一类是失业至少一年的美国人,按照常识判断,失业的对立面为就业,所以另一类人应该是“有工作的美国人”,故选C。其他选项均不符合题意,故排除。
8.
[A] explanation解释[B] requirement要求[C] compensation补偿[D] substitute代替
[答案] A
[解析]空格位于that引导的宾语从句中,通过对语义进行判断,“未受良好教育的中年人中种种问题的出现”与“缺乏高薪工作”之间呈现出因果关系,备选项中只有explanation“解释”符合文意,故选A。
9.
[A] under在...之下[B] beyond非...可及,超出[C] alongside沿一侧;与...一起[D] among在...中
[答案] D
[解析]空格前一句指出了出现的种种问题,后一句提到出现问题的人群,根据语义判断,整句表达的意思为:在这些人群中所出现的问题。备选项中的四个介词,只有among能表示“在…中”,故选D。其他选项均不符合题意,故排除。
10.
[A] leave behind留下,遗留[B] makeup组成,构成[C] worry about担心,忧虑[D] set aside省出,抽出
[答案] C
[解析]空格位于谓语动词的位置,空格前为主语“很多人”,空格后为宾语“无工作的未来会痛苦且沉闷”,由agonizing和dullness判断,空格处应填入表示引起负面情感的动词。worry about表示“担心,忧虑”,符合题意,故选C。A、B、D均不符合题意,故排除。
11.
[A] statistically统计学上地[B] occasionally偶尔[C] necessarily必然地,必定[D] economically经济地,节俭地;在经济. 上
[答案] C
[解析]空格所在句以转折词But开头,此处应填入加强语气的副词,体现出作者论证的谨慎态度,故选C。Statistically“统计学上地”和economically“经济地, 节俭地;在经济上”均为无关选项,occasionally “偶尔”不符合题意,故排除。
12.
[A] chances机会[B] downsides缺点[C] benefits益处[D] principles原理,原则
[答案] B
[解析]空格所在句位于第三段中,整段都是对两种悲观假设所做的反思。本段首先提出之前的推论未必完全正确,接着给出理由。由上文可知,推论是建立在失业的“种种缺点”之上的,故选B。备选项中principles “原理,原则”一词过于宽泛,chances “机会”为无关选项,benefits “益处”与文意相反,故均排除。
13.
[A] absence缺乏,没有[B] height高度[C]face面对,面临[D] course过程,进程
[答案] A
[解析]空格所在句着重说明:工作不是社会存在的唯一目的,在一个设计合理的社会中,即使没有工作,社会本身也能为劳动和休闲提供所需的情境。此处实际是一个假设,假设的前提为“在一个没有工作,而且设计合理的社会中”,故选A。其他选项均不符合文意,故排除。
14.
[A] disturb打扰[B] restore恢复;修复[C] exclude排除;不包括[D]yield产生;提供
[答案] A
[解析]空格所在处为谓语动词部分,对应的宾语是circumstances“环境,境况,情境”,所填入的动词应能够与circumstances构成搭配。Disturb “打扰”不能跟circumstances连用,restore “恢复;修复”和exclude“ 排除;不包括”不符合文意,故均排除。因此D为正确答案。
15.
[A] model模型[B] practice练习[C] virtue优点[D] hardship艰难
[答案] C
[解析]空格位于the_of work的结构中,说明“工作”这个概念。回顾上文,作者用了大部分篇幅来强调工作的重要性,所以此处填入的词应表示积极正面的含义,因此排除hardship“艰难”。model“模型”和practice“练习”与文意不符,且不能与overblow构成合理搭配,故均排除。因此C为正确答案。
16.
[A] tricky狡猾的;棘手的[B] lengthy过长的;冗长的[C] mysterious神秘的[D] scarce稀少的
[答案] D
[解析]空格所在句的后半句指出“人们通常利用空闲时间来平衡工作中智力及情感上的需要”,由此可以推出,在空闲时间不足的情况下,人们只能遵循“首先处理工作上的需求”的原则。而且根据常识也可以判断,工作的人空闲的时间是较少的,因此D为正确答案。lengthy “过长的; 冗长的”与文意相反; tricky “狡猾的; 棘手的”和mysterious“ 神秘的”不符合文意,故均排除。
17.
[A] demands要求;需求[B] standards标准[C] qualities质量;特性[D] threats威胁
[答案] A
[解析]空格所在处位于宾语的位置,所对应的谓语动词为counterbalance“平衡,抵消",此处的含义应为“用空闲时间来平衡...”,空格处所填入的单词应于counterbalance构成合理搭配,因此A为正确答案。standards“ 标准”和qualities“质量; 特性”与文意不符,而threats“ 威胁”言之过重,故均排除。
18.
[A] ignored被忽视的[B] tired劳累的,疲倦的[C] confused困惑的,混乱的[D] starved饥饿
[答案] B
[解析]空格所在处的上文提到“辛苦地完成一天的工作回到家时”,由此可判断所填入的词应描述此时的感受,下文又提到了如果不用工作,有了更多时间,就能专注于个人爱好,由此可知,此处应该表示工作之后太过疲劳,故选B。其他选项均不符合题意,应排除。
19.
[A] off脱离[B] against反对[C] behind在...之后[D]into进入,到..里面
[答案] D
[解析]空格所在处位于throw himself_a hobby的结构中。throw himself n....为固定搭配, 意为“投身于,积极从事”,故选D。其他选项均不符合题意,故排除。
20.
[A] technological技术的[B] professional职业的[C] educational教育的[D] interpersonal人与人之间的,人际关系的
[答案] B
[解析]空格所在处应填入形容词,用来修饰matters。通读整句可知,空格处表达的含义为:专注投入自身的爱好或激情之中,这种专注之前只能为另一目的而预留,不能轻易浪费。联想到上文中提到的“人们利用自己的空闲时间来处理工作中智力与情感上的需要”可知,空格处应填入的词应与“工作”有关,故选B。其他选项均不符合题意,故排除。
