单选题
  • A.count
  • B.reflect
  • C.depend
  • D.comment
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 本题应联系前句来解答。因前句中出现了remind…of(回想),此处应选与“回想”有关的词。B选项reflect(思考,回顾)符合文意。A选项count的意思是“考虑”,但常用于count…as…的结构中;C选项depend的意思是“依靠,信任”;D选项comment的意思是“评论,发表意见”,都不正确。因此B选项为正确答案。
单选题
  • A.benefit from
  • B.take over
  • C.apply for
  • D.go through
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] A选项benefit from(受益于)符合文意。B选项take over(接管)、C选项apply for(申请)、D选项go through[渡过(难关)]都不正确。此处是说学生如何更好地从入校的殊荣中获益。因此A选项为正确答案。
单选题
  • A.efficient
  • B.excellent
  • C.professional
  • D.proficient
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 本题中,D选项proficient的意思是“精通,熟练”,通常接介词in,符合文意。A选项efficient[效率高(的)]、B选项excellent(优秀的)、C选项professional(专业的)都不正确。因此D选项为正确答案。
单选题
  • A.however
  • B.therefore
  • C.indeed
  • D.after all
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 此处从at the least和much more的反义关系可以看出句意发生了转折,因此A选项however(可是)符合文意。B选项therefore表示因果关系;C选项indeed的意思是“确实如此”;D选项after all的意思是“毕竟,终究”,都与文意不符。因此A选项为正确答案。
单选题
  • A.if
  • B.because
  • C.so that
  • D.before
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 此处是说你得学会训练思维,这样,学习就成了一件乐事……C选项so that引导结果从句,与上下文的意义相符。A选项if、B选项because、D选项的before都不正确。因此C选项为正确答案。
单选题
  • A.Of late
  • B.Consequently
  • C.Afterwards
  • D.At first
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] D选项At first(起初)符合文意。A选项Of late(最近)、B选项Consequently(结果)、C选项Afterwards(之后)都不正确。此处是说起初,这(学习)可能需要意志和长期的自我约束。因此D选项为正确答案。
单选题
  • A.acquired
  • B.accomplished
  • C.approached
  • D.assured
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 本题中,B选项accomplished的意思是“完成,成功获得”,隐含“取得了一种来之不易的成就”之意,用在此处最恰当。A选项acquired的意思是“获得”,常常只强调结果,不看重过程;C选项approached的意思是“接近(某物)或解决(问题)”;D选项assured的意思是“向……保证……”,三者都与learning不搭配。因此B选项为正确答案。
单选题
  • A.ambition
  • B.conscience
  • C.responsibility
  • D.challenge
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题应联系上文来解答。上文提到学习不是被动完成的,隐含意思是学习是要主动完成的,学习是自己的事,因此C选项responsibilty(责任,义务)符合文意。A选项ambition(抱负,雄心)、B选项conscience(良心)、D选项challenge(挑战)都不正确。因此C选项为正确答案。
单选题
  • A.to
  • B.on
  • C.in
  • D.by
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 此处是说在经过训练的思维或头脑中。in与mind搭配时,表示“在思想中”或“在心中”,因此C选项符合文意。to one's mind(在某人看来)、on mind或on0ne's mind(……挂在心上)、by[靠(用)……为手段]都不正确。因此C选项为正确答案。
单选题
  • A.any
  • B.one
  • C.another
  • D.no
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题中,因为以but作为转折,说明两者不同,C选项another可以表达此义,隐含着“(one)…another”的上下承接关系。其他选项都不具备这种功能。因此C选项为正确答案。
单选题
  • A.ends
  • B.limits
  • C.borders
  • D.edges
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] B选项limits的意思是“局限,限制”,表示“人在认知上的局限性”,符合文意。A选项ends的意思是“两头,两端”;C选项borders的意思是“边缘”;D选项edges的意思是“边缘,边界”,多用于指物体的边缘地方,三者习惯上都不能与understanding搭配。因此B选项为正确答案。
单选题
  • A.elsewhere
  • B.what
  • C.whichever
  • D.where
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 此处表达一种寓意,即从前谁都不曾达到的地方,与前文的局限性相呼应。因此D选项where引导名词性从句,表示一个地方,符合文意。因此D选项为正确答案。
单选题
  • A.compatible with
  • B.responsible for
  • C.followed by
  • D.relevant to
【正确答案】 A

单选题
  • A.declare
  • B.recommend
  • C.advise
  • D.contend
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 由strongly推断讲话人一定是认同或肯定前文,因此B选项recommend(正式建议或推荐)符合文意。A选项declare(公开宣布)、C选项advise(建议,忠告)、D选项contend(争论,主张)都不正确。因此B选项为正确答案。
