2016年在职攻读硕士学位全国联考英语试题解析

第一部分口语交际

A节完成对话

1.说话人A:你迟到了40分钟,是不是早上轮胎又坏了

说话人B:____________.

A.对,是个好故事.

B.是的,你怎么认为

C.对不起,这样的事不会再发生了.

D.对,你是了解我的.

【答案】C

【考点】道歉的恰当表达

【分析】从说话人A的话可知,说话人B不止一次迟到,而且迟到得比较久.因而当说话人A对此表示不满时,说话人B作出的恰当反应是为自己的行为道歉,而不是用"Yes"或"Right"开头来回答问题.选项C是表达道歉的恰当方式,因此是正确答案.

2.说话人A:你猜怎么着苏珊又发表了一篇论文,这可是一个月里的第三篇.

说话人B:________.

A.我真希望有她的脑袋.

B.对了,正是如此.

C.我怎能猜到那件事呢

D.祝贺你啊.

【答案】A

【考点】对话语的恰当评论

【分析】说话人A向说话人B传递苏珊一个月里发了第三篇论文的信息,后者对此作出反应.选项B常用来表示说话人自己不想那样说,但对方说出了口自己也同意,与对方的话语意不符.选项C是反问句,与上句意思毫不相干.选项D用来表示说话人为对方取得的成功等事感到高兴,这也与上句完全不符.A表达了说话人听到这一信息后对苏珊的羡慕之情,是正确答案.

3.说话人A:我准备回家了.你想一起走吗

说话人B:________我大约一小时后回家.

A.那是个好注意.

B.决不！

C.好的,谢谢.

D.不,谢谢.

【答案】D

【考点】对邀请的恰当反应

【分析】说话人A向说话人B发出一起走得邀请.从说话人B说的后一句话可知,她谢绝了,对方的邀请,因此可以确定正确答案应为D.选项A用以表示赞成对方的建议,选项B用以表示表示自己肯定不会做某事,用在这一场合显然不够礼貌,选项C用以表示接受对方的邀请,与后一句矛盾.

4.说话人A:你永远都猜不到我们学校上周发生什么事了.

说话人B:_______.

A.继续,让我感到意外吧.

B.是的,那一定很有吸引力.

C.是的,我能猜着.

D.还用你说.

【答案】D

【考点】对消息的恰当反应

【分析】说话人A准备给说话人B传递一个信息,用确信的语气引出话题,说话人如事先并不知情,则会向B提出类似"Whathappened"这样的问题,而不是选项A这样的中文式表达.B和C两个选项中的Yes均显示说话人B事先已知相关情况,但后半部分的内容与说话人A的内容并不相符.正确答案应是D.该句在口语表达中隐含"我早已知道了"的意思.

5.说话人A:这个沙发看上去很舒服,你觉得怎么样

说话人B:________我要是你,就写那一个.

A.我对它不太了解.

B.我觉得它不怎么样.

C.你为何不写呢

D.你更了解.

【答案】B

【考点】对交际问题的恰当反应

【分析】说话人A征求说话人B对沙发的看法.从说话人B的后一句话中可知,他并不喜欢说话人A看中的沙发,因此正确答案应为B.其他三个选项均与说话人B的后一句话逻辑关系不符.B节对话理解

6.女:我不知道肖恩在我拒绝了他得商业提议后会是什么感受.

男:他对此并不在乎.

问题:男方是什么意思

A.肖恩感到受了伤害.

B.肖恩对此并不在意.

C.肖恩是个冷静的人.

D.肖恩并不知道这件事.

【答案】B

【考点】上下文及短语的理解

【分析】男方认为,肖恩对自己的商业提议被拒绝一事感到"cool","cool"一词有多个意思,如"冷静的,平静的,冷漠的,酷的,满不在乎的"等.从上下文的意思推断,男方的意思应是指肖恩对it(商业提议被拒绝一事)满不在乎.B的意思与此一致,是正确答案.选项C用来说明肖恩这人的性格特点,并非是针对被拒绝一事的态度.

7.男:你想来点冰淇淋吗我有多种口味的.

女:真希望我能来点,但不行啊,我在节食.

问题:关于女方我们了解什么

A.她这人难以取悦

B.她对风味很挑剔.

C.她在试图减肥.,

D.她热衷于冰淇淋.

【答案】C

【考点】短语理解

【分析】此题考查考生是否理解对话中出现的短语beonadiet.beonadiet意为"节食",四个选项中只有C与该短语的语意相符,是正确答案.

8.女方:我认为作者是在示意他支持战争.

男方:他说的是一回事,但意思是另一回事,你必须领悟隐含的意思.

问题:要想充分理解作者,女方应该做什么

A.省略不重要的部分.

B.一遍又一遍地读.

C.寻找其他的参考资料.

D.找出隐含的意思.

【答案】D

【考点】短语理解

【分析】此题考查考生是否理解对话中出现的短语readbetweenthelines.readbetweenthelines意为"discoverameaninginsomethingthatisnotopenlystated(领悟隐含的意思)",四个选项中只有D与该短语的语意相符,是正确答案.

9.女方:我再也受不了他了,这么挑剔,难伺候！

男方:你能说什么呢他给你付面包的钱啊.

问题:男方的话什么意思

A.女方可以提建议.

B.女方必须容忍老板.

C.女方需要自己付面包的钱.

D.女方不明白这种情况.

【答案】B

【考点】短语理解

【分析】此题考查考生是否理解对话中出现的短语payforyourbread.payforsomebody'sbread字面意思为"给某人的面包付钱",但"bread"还有"生计"的意思,从上下文可以推断出男方话语的意思为"他给你付工资".因此可知,四个选项中只有B符合男方话中隐含的内容,是正确答案.

10.女方:你舍呢么时候能听一听我不得不说的话

男方:你能帮忙现在就消失吗

问题:男方是什么意思

A.他不想被人烦.

B.他不需要女方的帮助.

C.他会稍后听女方说.

D.他再也不要见到女方了.

【答案】A

【考点】根据上下文推断说话人含义

【分析】此题考查考生能否根据上下文推断说话人话里隐含的意思.女方在提出问题后男方没有直接回答,而是提出了另一个问题,问女方能否帮忙消失,结合上下文后可知男方不愿意听女方唠叨,四个选项中A与男方话里的意思最为贴切,是正确答案.

第二部分词汇和语法结构

11.【答案】A

【考点】句子结构含义理解

【译文】这种犯罪题材的小说过去曾经很流行,但是现在没有人再读它了.

【解析】做这道题要把握两点:一是要看出句子结构是由等but连接,前后表示转折意义,二是要注意句子前后在用词上的对照表达——"犯罪题材的小说______很流行,buttoday却没有人读了",即空白处要填入的词应该与"当今"对应,所以A项的"过去曾经"是正确答案,B项ever常用于现在完成时,C项never"从不"和D项always"总是"用于此句意思明显不通.

12.【答案】D

【考点】近义词辨析

【译文】直到1920年美国妇女才有了选举权.

【解析】四个备选项都有否定含义,但在结构
