08考研英语完形填空标准答案

在刚结束的英语考试中，试卷开头的英语能⼒应⽤(即⼴⼤考⽣通常称为完形填空)考察了⼀篇关于⼈类智能的⽂章，通过笔者在络上的搜索，发现该⽂原⽂刊登在2005年6⽉2⽇的《经济学⼈》杂志上。

命题专家对原⽂进⾏了⼀定的简化，但是意思没有发⽣丝毫的变化。

经过简单的⽐对，笔者做了⼀份答案，相信应该是标准答案了。

The evolution of intelligence Jun 2nd 2005 Greg Cochran THE idea that some ethnic groups may, on average, be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak its name. But Gregory Cochran, (a noted scientific iconoclast), is prepared 第1题答案为B to say it anyway. He is that rare 第2题答案为D bird, a scientist who works independently of 第3题答案为A any institution. He helped popularise the idea that some diseases not previously 第4题答案为C thought to have a bacterial cause were actually infections, which ruffled many scientific feathers when it was first suggested. And more controversially still, he has suggested that homosexuality is caused by an infection. Even 第5题答案为C he, however, might tremble at the thought第6题答案为A of what he is about to do. Together with Jason Hardy and Henry Harpending, of the University of Utah, he is publishing, in a forthcoming edition of the Journal of Biosocial Science, a paper which not only suggests第7题答案为B that one group of humanity is more intelligent than the others, but explains the process that has brought this about. The group in question 第8题答案为D are Ashkenazi Jews. The process is natural selection. Ashkenazim generally do well in IQ tests, scoring 第9题答案为B 12-15 points above the mean 第10题答案为C value of 100, and have contributed disproportionately 第11题答案为B to the intellectual and cultural life of the West, as the careers 第12题答案为D of Freud, Einstein and Mahler, pictured above, affirm 第13题答案为A. They also suffer more often than most people from a number of nasty genetic diseases, such as Tay-Sachs and breast cancer. These facts, however 第14题答案为C, have previously been thought unrelated. The former has been put down 第15题答案为D to social effects, such as a strong tradition of valuing 第16题答案为D education. The latter was seen as a consequence 第17题答案为C of genetic isolation. Even now, Ashkenazim tend to marry among themselves. In the past they did so almost exclusively. Dr Cochran, however, suspects that the intelligence and the diseases are intimately linked 第18题答案为A. His argument is that the unusual history of the Ashkenazim has subjected 第19题答案为B them to unique evolutionary pressures that have resulted in this paradoxical 第20题答案为A state of affairs.。

2008年完形答案

全文首句：在美国，进行有组织的体育运动是一个如此普通的经历，以致于许多青少年都轻视他们了。

三题在一个句子中，读完整句再做题。

题目通常从后往前做。

这一点是特别真实的67孩子们，他们来自于拥有进行组织和68运动项目所需的资源，确保有容易的69参与机会的家庭和社区。

这个句子相对复杂，应该首先进行成分的划分，67题考介词，故67和children都应属于主句中的成分，作状语，communities之后的that引导定语从句，and make sure与前面的have是并列关系。

69题，搭配题，考察动词介词搭配，正确答案access to，这是在05年12月的真题中曾经考察过的搭配，意思是使用。

68题，理解题，通过and得知，68应与organize并列，又因前文提到resources（资源），后方提到programs（项目），结合选项：spread（传播，扩散），speed（加速），spur（马刺），sponsor（赞助），D项符合。

67题，考察介词，分别代入后，A项符合。

五题在一个句子中，读完整句再做题，从后向前。

在低收入家庭和贫穷社区的孩子们70可能轻视有组织的运动，因为他们通常71所需要资源，这些资源将用于支付参与72，设备和交通以参加实践和游戏73他们的社区不具备建造和74运动场地和器械的资源。

目前为止，此句是历年考题当中包含题目最多的句子，请大家耐心。

74题，辨析题，四个词均为-tain的词根变化，其中maintain（维护），contain（包含），sustain（承受），entertain（娱乐），结合原文中and的提示，74应与build有并列的关系，故答案为A项。

73题，连词题，上过课的同学应该非常熟悉这个句子，小技巧可以解决，73之前because 之后，主语they，谓语未知，宾语resources，73之后，主语their communities，谓语do not have，宾语resources，说明什么？经过前后对比，发现两句的结构一致，于是小技巧可用，答案为C项。

They drank heartily over the dishes.When they became half drunk, the professor 40 a small potato that was sprouting（发芽）and said to the young man, “Do you know how much it costs? It’s small and not fresh.Besides, it is poisonous（有毒的）.41 will take it even if it’s given without any money.” He 42 it into the rubbish bin. The professor then showed him another potato that must weigh more than 500g.“This potato is not only large and fresh but also free of pollution. It costs 12 yuan each kilogram.” The young man was 43 by what he had heard. The professor put the big potato into his hand and said,“44 such a potato.Don’t forget there are potatoes and potatoes！”33．A．studying B．eating C．speaking D．sleeping 34．A．far B．different C．absent D．free 35．A．class B．subject C．lesson D．course 36．A．carefully B．quietly C．slowly D．clearly 37．A．professors B．colleges C．students D．schools 38．A．why B．how C．where D．when39．A．an idea B．a way C．an answer D．a chance 40．A．found B．made C．passed D．produced 41．A．Somebody B．Nobody C．Anybody D．Everybody 42．A．dropped B．placed C．threw D．put 43．A．worried B．moved C．excited D．amazed 44．A．Get B．Have C．Remember D．BeThe Need T o Give UpTwo friends visited a zoo together. The zoo was very 33 and it was impossible to go everywhere. They had to 34 where and which animal to visit as their time was limited（限定）. So 35 of them agreed not to go back after choosing a road at every fork.A road sign at the first fork showed one way to the 36 quarters and the other to the tiger hill. They decided on the former after a 37 discussion because lions are “the kings of the forest.” The second 38 a fork going separately to the panda and the peacock. They chose the panda as it is the nation’s treasure, so they 39 its way. Thus they made choices all 40 the way and each choice meant making a decision with some regret, but they had to make their choices quickly.If they couldn’t, they would 41 more.Only rapid decisions could offer more 42 for sightseeing and reduce possible regret.Life is more or less like this—one often has to choose, for example, between two desirable （合意）jobs, two fascinating universities. To get one you have to give up the other—you can 43 get half of it. If you spend time weighing the pros and cons and thinking about gains and losses（得失）, you will most likely 44 with empty hands.Don’t be sad about it. At least you have got half of the desirable things in life—something that is hard to come by. 33．A．small B．large C．far D．dirty 34．A．know B．agree C．ask D．decide 35．A．both B．one C．all D．neither 36．A．panda B．bird C．food D．lion 37．A．long B．hard C．short D．serious 38．A．was B．gave C．formed D．talked 39．A．got B．went C．made D．moved 40．A．along B．across C．by D．in41．A．fail B．lose C．miss D．waste 42．A．choices B．chances C．decisions D．discussions 43．A．also B．even C．still D．only 44．A．start B．stop C．end D．changeI was living in New Y ork when my father called. He was working in the city and. suggested we meet for dinner. But more pleasing and surprising to me was the way we had the dinner. For this time he didn’t spend the whole time giving advice I didn’t 33 . He talked with me.I walked him to the bus station. While we were waiting, he stood against the wall. My father had 34 been a strong and heavy man. Now I saw how thin and weak he was. He then told me something that surprised me. He said he still 35 , inside his head, like a young man, and couldn’t believe he’d passed sixty.“Y ou don’t know, at your age, how fast time goes,” he said.“If I never really talked with you boys as much as I’d have liked to, it was because there was so little time and so much I ha d to teach you.I just didn’t want you to make all the mistakes I had made. I wanted to 36 you from some of the troubles I had.”I wanted to say, “Thank you, Dad, for telling me that.” I knew at last I was a 37 to my father. We could talk with each other. But I was too 38 by the evening to say how I was feeling.It was the last 39 we ever had.I was in Florida on a business trip when I 40 home. Dad had a stroke（中风）last night, after coming home from work.He’d always said he wanted to wor k till the day he died. He got his wish. My wish, for another talk with my father, would go unfulfilled（未完成的）.I now know things I didn’t know 41 my father was alive.Time does go really fast. There is so much to teach my boy and so little time: I’ve 42 him change from baby to child to boy in less time certainly than I took. I know the temptation（引诱）always to be telling him things, the things he’ll 43 to survive（生存）, to be a good person.But I remember my father’s final lesson. My boy will learn by what I am and what I do far more than by what I tell him.When Eric, aged eight, says, “Dad, can we talk?” I 44 my book and say, “Sure.” I think for a second he wants my advice about something, but then I remember.He doesn’t want advice.

I volunteered about thirty to forty hours a week during the summer.Most of the time I spent there was with Mr. Gillespie.He never had any 33 , and nobody seemed to care about his condition.I spent many days there 34 his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, even though he replied to me with only a very gentle moving of his fingers. Mr. Gillespie was still in a coma（昏迷）.I left for a week to vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr.Gillespie was 35 I didn’t have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he had died.So with many questions unanswered, I continued to volunteer there through my eighth-grade year.Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a 36 face. When I realized who it was, my eyes were filled with 37 He was alive! I asked him if his name was Mr. Gillespie, and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an 38 look on his face, he replied, “Y es.” I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking with him in the hospital. With tears in his eyes, he gave me the warmest hug （拥抱）I had 39 received.He began to tell me how, as he 40 there comatose, he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an angel, not a person, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie firmly believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him 41 .Then he told me about his 42 and what happened to him to put him in the coma. We both cried for a while and exchanged a hug, said our goodbyes and went our separate ways.Although I haven’t seen him since then, he 43 my heart with joy every day.I know that I made a difference between his life and his death.More important, he has made a great difference in 44 life.

The evolution of intelligenceJun 2nd 2005Greg CochranTHE idea that some ethnic groups may, on average, be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak its name. But Gregory Cochran, (a noted scientific iconoclast), is prepared 第1题答案为B to say it anyway. He is that rare 第2题答案为D bird, a scientist who works independently of 第3题答案为 A any institution. He helped popularise the idea that some diseases not previously 第4题答案为C thought to have a bacterial cause were actually infections, which ruffled many scientific feathers when it was first suggested. And more controversially still, he has suggested that homosexuality is caused by an infection.Even 第5题答案为C he, however, might tremble at the thought第6题答案为A of what he is about to do. Together with Jason Hardy and Henry Harpending, of the University of Utah, he is publishing, in a forthcoming edition of the Journal of Biosocial Science, a paper which not only suggests第7题答案为B that one group of humanity is more intelligent than the others, but explains the process that has brought this about. The group in question 第8题答案为D are Ashkenazi Jews. The process is natural selection.Ashkenazim generally do well in IQ tests, scoring 第9题答案为B 12-15 points above the mean 第10题答案为C value of 100, and have contributed disproportionately 第11题答案为B to the intellectual and cultural life of the West, as the careers 第12题答案为D of Freud, Einstein and Mahler, pictured above, affirm 第13题答案为A. They also suffer more often than most people from a number of nasty genetic diseases, such as Tay-Sachs and breast cancer. These facts, however 第14题答案为C, have previously been thought unrelated. The former has been put down 第15题答案为D to social effects, such as a strong tradition of valuing 第16题答案为D education. The latter was seen as a consequence 第17题答案为C of genetic isolation. Even now, Ashkenazim tend to marry among themselves. In the past they did so almost exclusively.Dr Cochran, however, suspects that the intelligence and the diseases are intimately linked 第18题答案为A. His argument is that the unusual history of the Ashkenazim has subjected 第19题答案为B them to unique evolutionary pressures that have resulted in this paradoxical 第20题答案为A state of affairs.。

And if you don’t know for sure, it’s a very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板).Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge (排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successfulstudent. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you’ll have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.56. The underlined word “ally” in Para. 3 more likely means somebody or something that is _________.A. your slave and serves youB. your supporter and helps youC. under your control and obeys youD. under your influence and follows you57. The author intends to tell us that time _____________.A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watchB. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodiesC. should be well managed for our own interestD. should be saved for outside interests58. In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you ________.A. how to keep up with the timesB. how to make up for lost timeC. how to have a good timeD. how to make good use of timeBWe experience different forms of the Sun’s energy every day. We can see its light and feel its warmth. The Sun is the major source of evaporation (蒸发) of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms (生物) on the Earth.Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the Earth’s surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earth’s surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earth’s surface back to the Earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. For example, you’ve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. Snow reflects most of the energy from the Sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter.

College, carrier, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of the dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories fleshed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.“Jack, did you hear me?”“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. it’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce (回忆) about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it, ” Mom told him.“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said.“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important. Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral.” Jack said.Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture … Jack stopped suddenly.“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.“The box is gone,” he said.“What box?” Mom asked.“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said.It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.“Now I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention.“Mr. Harold Belser” it read.Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside,“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bernett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes. Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.Inside he found these words carved: “Jack. Thanks for your time! Harold Belser.”“Oh. My God! This is the thing he valued most …”Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked.“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.66. Why did Jack think Mr. Belser died years ago?A. College and career prevented him from remembering Mr. Belser.B. Jack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr. Belser.C. Jack was too busy realizing his dreams to think about Mr. Belser.D. His present busy life washed away his children memories.67. Jack’s mother told him on the phone about Mr. Belser EXCEPT that _________.A. Mr. Belser often asked how Jack was doingB. Mr. Belser’s funeral would take place on WednesdayC. Mr. Belser had asked for Jack’s mailing addressD. Mr. Belser had pleasant memories of their time together68. Why did Belser send Jack his gold watch?A.

20. [A] paradoxical[B]incompatible[C] inevitable[D] continuous 文章背景这是一篇介绍个人学术观点的说明文，文章内容主要围绕一部分人是否比另外一部分人聪明这个主题展开。该文原文刊登在 2005 年 6 月 2 日的《经济学人》杂志上，原文的标题是 The Evolution of Intelligence(智力的进化)，命题专家对原文进行了一定的简化，但是意思没有发生丝毫的变化。文章结构文章采用了总分的叙述方式，文章第一段的前两句话就是文章叙述的主题，全片文章围绕这个主题展开。第一段： The idea that some groups of people may be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak its name. But Gregory Cochran is 1 to say it anyway.(总述) 第二段： Together with another two scientists, he is publishing a paper which not only 7 that one group of humanity is more intelligent than the others, but explains the process that has brought this about.(分述) 第三段： This group generally does well in IQ test… They also suffer more often than most people from a number of nasty genetic diseases… His argument is that the unusual history of these people has 19 them to unique evolutionary pressures that have resulted in this 20 state of affairs.(结论) 答案详解 1.【解析】[B] 语义衔接题。本题目选择动词过去分词形式，构成 be…to 的结构，在句子中充当谓语。选项 A. selected 选择;B. prepared 准备;C. obliged 迫使，责成;D. pleased 高兴。前边相邻句子 The idea that some people may be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak its name. "一些人比另一些人聪明，这一观点一直是人们不敢明确提出来的假设之一。" 本题所在句子由 But 一词引导，在句义上与前一句相反，即"打算或准备说了"，故选 B。 2.【解析】[D] 语义衔接/词汇辨析题。本题目选择形容词，在句子中充当定语。选项 A. unique 独一无二的;B. particular 特殊的，特别的;C. special 特殊的;D. rare 珍惜的，罕见的，珍贵的。rare birds 意为"稀世珍品，旷世奇才，罕见人(物)"， Gregory Cochran 打破常规，准备说了，因此像是" 出头鸟"。 3.【解析】[A] 惯用衔接题。independent 其后应搭配 of，意为"独立于，不依赖于"。还应注意 dependent 后面还可搭配 on，但意为"依赖于，依靠于"。He is that rare bird, a scientist who works independentlyany institution. "他就是那个稀有之人，是一位不依赖于任何机构的独立的科学家"。 4.【解析】[C] 语义衔接题。本题目选择副词，在句子中充当状语。句子叙述到 He helped popularize the idea that some diseases notthought to have a bacterial cause were actually infections, which ruffled many scientific feathers when it was first suggested. "他普及了这种观点，即某些以前人们认为不是由细菌引起的疾病实际上是传染病，这一观点一经提出就引起了极大争议。&#料试卷电气设备，在安装过程中以及安装结束后进行高中资料试卷调整试验；通电检查所有设备高中资料电试力卷保相护互装作置用调与试相技互术关，系电通，力1根保过据护管生高线0产中不工资仅艺料可高试以中卷解资配决料置吊试技顶卷术层要是配求指置，机不对组规电在范气进高设行中备继资进电料行保试空护卷载高问与中题带资22负料，荷试而下卷且高总可中体保资配障料置23试时23卷，各调需类控要管试在路验最习；大题对限到设度位备内。进来在行确管调保路整机敷使组设其高过在中程正资1常料中工试，况卷要下安加与全强过，看2度并55工且22作尽2下可护1都能关可地于以缩管正小路常故高工障中作高资；中料对资试于料卷继试连电卷接保破管护坏口进范处行围理整，高核或中对者资定对料值某试，些卷审异弯核常扁与高度校中固对资定图料盒纸试位，卷置编工.写况保复进护杂行层设自防备动腐与处跨装理接置，地高尤线中其弯资要曲料避半试免径卷错标调误高试高等方中，案资要，料求编5试技写、卷术重电保交要气护底设设装。备备4置管高调、动线中试电作敷资高气，设料中课并3技试资件且、术卷料拒管中试试调绝路包验卷试动敷含方技作设线案术，技槽以来术、及避管系免架统不等启必多动要项方高方案中式；资，对料为整试解套卷决启突高动然中过停语程机文中。电高因气中此课资，件料电中试力管卷高壁电中薄气资、设料接备试口进卷不行保严调护等试装问工置题作调，并试合且技理进术利行，用过要管关求线运电敷行力设高保技中护术资装。料置线试做缆卷到敷技准设术确原指灵则导活：。。在对对分于于线调差盒试动处过保，程护当中装不高置同中高电资中压料资回试料路卷试交技卷叉术调时问试，题技应，术采作是用为指金调发属试电隔人机板员一进，变行需压隔要器开在组处事在理前发；掌生同握内一图部线纸故槽资障内料时，、，强设需电备要回制进路造行须厂外同家部时出电切具源断高高习中中题资资电料料源试试，卷卷线试切缆验除敷报从设告而完与采毕相用，关高要技中进术资行资料检料试查，卷和并主检且要测了保处解护理现装。场置设。备高中资料试卷布置情况与有关高中资料试卷电气系统接线等情况，然后根据规范与规程规定，制定设备调试高中资料试卷方案。

They also suffer more often than most people from a number of nasty genetic diseases, such as breast cancer. These facts, 14 , have previously been thought unrelated.
