答案解析

1.C 考查上下文理解。由前一句中的separate (sexes)、空格后表并列的and和性别之一men可知,应选另一性别的复数形式。注意,female与male相对。B. 的形式不正确。<br> 2.A 考查固定搭配与上下文理解。at least至少;at most最多。本句指的是“至少人们是这么说的”,故选前者。C、D两项搭配都不正确。<br> 3.C 考查从句连接词。填入的连接词不但作主句的表语,还作从句中say的宾语,因此选what。<br> 4.B 考查语态。本题较为容易,因为女性是“被叫做”the weaker sex,故应用被动语态。A、C都不能用在系动词后。<br> 5.D 考查搭配。除on外,其他三项都可与school搭配。但in school指“在求学,在上学”,它只用作表语;to school前一般用动词go,表示“去上学”;at school指“在学校里”,可作表语,也可作状语。本句中因为空格后的介词宾语还有universities,因此表达的肯定是“在学校和大学里”,故选at。<br> 6.A 考查从句连接词。由句子结构分析,空格后应是其前women的定语从句,由于先行词是人,且连接词在从句中作主语,因此只能选A。<br> 7.A 考查冠词用法。此处表示的是泛指的一个欧洲女性,因此不能用定冠词;所指又是单数,因此须用不定冠词。European虽以元音字母开头,但其发音并不是元音,所以用a修饰。<br> 8.B 考查动词用法。expect(期待,希望)后跟带to的动词不定式。<br> 9.C 考查介词用法与上下文理解。选项中能用于单个时间数词前的介词是under,指“低于,不到”。Among用于指三者或三者以上“之中”;between指两者“之间”,应与and连用;amount是名词,不能直接用于数词前。<br> 10.C 考查名词的所有格形式。由句意可知,这里是将男女整体进行比较,前面用的是复数形式的所有格,那么后面也应用复数形式的所有格,选men’s。<br> 11.C 考查形容词的比较级别。根据句意与上下文可知,这里应当是指“最快的女性游泳运动员是年轻女孩”,所以选fastest。<br> 12.A 考查介词用法。“in+时间段”表示的是在这一时间段内完成某事,且前文中已经出现了in (under) 4 minutes这一搭配,据此也可确定答案。注意,under单用在时间数词前指的是大致时间,与后面精确到秒相矛盾,因此本题不能填入under。<br> 13.C 考查时态与主谓一致。首先,主语是the first“Tartan”,谓语应用单数形式(不能被空格前的介词结构in films迷惑);其次,叙述的是过去发生的情况,应用过去时态。结合起来知选C。<br> 14.D 考查从句连接词。由句子结构分析可知,空格后是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是空格前的时间数词,且连接词在从句中作主语,因此只能选D。<br> 15.C 考查上下文理解。由此句中列举的时间与前面一句指出的如今最快的一名女性游泳运动员的成绩比较可知,他比她慢了37.9秒,因此选slower。<br> 16.A 考查同根易混词与上下文理解。later可用作副词,指“此后,后来”,也可作形容词,指“以后的”;late也可用作副词与形容词,指“迟(的),晚(的)”;lately是副词,指“近来”;latest是形容词,指“最新的”。本题应填入一个副词,且指“50年后”,因此只能选A。<br> 17.C 考查固定搭配与上下文理解。catch on开始明白;catch at试图抓住;catch up赶上,追上; catch in一般用被动语态,指“陷入”。由上下文不难看出这里指的是女性赶上男性,因此选C。<br> 18.C 考查比较级别。由于空格前是副词much,它只能修饰比较级,故A、D不对。而由上下文可知,这里指的是“体育更严肃”,因此选肯定的C。<br> 19.B 考查固定搭配。由空格后的被修饰词是形容词serious与that可知,应选so,构成固定搭配 so…that…,指“如此…以致…”。<br> 20.D 考查固定搭配。由本句最后的or not及句意考生应能很快确定答案为whether,因为 whether…or not是固定搭配。
