答案與題解:
1. B 根據(jù)上下文的意思,失去的應該是 fingerprints。Fingerprints 是復數(shù) 形式,指代它的帶刺是 them。其他三個代詞都不合適。
2. D 前面兩個句子說,失去指紋是一大問題。本句說,要舉出一個實例以說明失去指紋會 造成極大的困擾。所以只有選項 D 最合適。
3. A第二段描述了實例的細節(jié)。第一句說病人用一種藥名為卡培他濱的抗癌藥治療他的鼻 咽癌。所以 treat 是必然的選擇。cut,find和 smooth都與 上下文接不上。
4. C 從上下文判斷,After three years on the后面應該接用 藥、治療等字眼,所以選 drug 是正確的。選 recovery,diet 或 diagnosis都與后面提到的病人進入美國受阻的事件接不上。
5. C for 表示時間上達到,for 4 hours 意為長達四小時。
6. B 美國海關因為采集不到那為癌癥患者的指紋樣本,于是盤問了他 4 小時。所以本句提 到的 swirly 應該與 marks 搭配,意思是旋渦狀指紋標記。
7. A 為了防止恐怖分子和罪犯進入美國,美國海關通過電腦對入境者進行指紋采樣,然后 與指紋庫進行比照。根據(jù)常理,海關要檢查每一位外國人的指紋。采樣的手指是食指。 后面的 screened是解題的重要線索,引導讀者選 A,即 printed。這里, printed=finger-printed。其他三個選項,即 located、cured和 placed,都與上下文的意思接不上。
8. D 實例中的新加坡人用了抗癌藥后的一個副作用是指紋消失,這是一種不良反應。所以 , 選 good,main,normal都不符合上下文的意思,只有 side 才是答案。Side effect 意為副作用。
9. B 前面句子提及的服用抗癌藥是因,本段最后一句是果,連接詞應該用 Hence。而 However 表示轉(zhuǎn)折關系,Moreover 和 Furthermore 表示進一步的關系,與上文連 接不上。
10. A 本段表達的意思是:由于癌癥病人服用了卡培他濱后指紋何時開始消失還不清楚, 所以主治醫(yī)生要提前為病人開具指紋可能會消失的證明。to take place之前 填上 like,decide 或 have 都與上下文的意思接不上,唯有 begin 最合適。
11. D 參閱上一題的題解。本題四個選項中的英語單詞的前三個字母都是 pre-,只要知道prescribe 的詞義是開處方,就會選 D。
12. C第五段的意思是,那位病人已經(jīng)拿到醫(yī)生開具的指紋消失證明單,現(xiàn)在他們出門旅 行不會不帶上它。本題 without 是答案。
13. D 哪一個政府機構(gòu)許可使用該類抗癌藥?就是本段第一句提到的 the Food and Drug Administration。四個選項中,只有關系代詞 which 能指代 the Food and Drug Administration,它是 approved 動作的發(fā)出者。
14. A 最后一段表達的意思是:過去該藥列出的不良反應只包括嘔吐等,沒有列出指紋消 失這一副作用,現(xiàn)在應該補上這一條。所以,updating是答案。
15. B 最后一段最后一句中,為了強調(diào) no where,將它移到句首,這時,原句的it does not mention the potential for loss of fingerprints就要寫成強調(diào)句形式的no where does it mention the potential for loss of fingerprints。所以,答案 是 B。
