Another basic____19___ is to find a study partner with whom it is possible to identify difficulties,___20___ideas and provide support.
针对很多大学生在大学里不能有效地听课和记笔记的问题,本文进行了阐述并提供了一些解决该问题的具体方法。
1.A.extending B.explaining
C.performing D.conducting
答案 B [分析句子结构可知“__1__ the talk with slides,
writing down...”“__2__ reading material”和“giving out...”均为伴随状语,上文提到讲师讲一两个小时,下文又提到用幻灯片,所以应该是用幻灯片来解释讲课的内容,写一些重要的信息,分发一些阅读材料和布置作业。extend意为“延伸,扩展”;explain意为“解释”;perform意为“表演;执行”;conduct意为“实施;指挥;引导”。故选B项。]
2.A.disputing with B.contributing to
C.handing out D.collecting together
答案 C [根据上一题解析和下文中的giving out可知设空处应是“分发”之意。dispute with 意为“和……争论”;contribute to意为“是……的原因之一;促成”;hand out意为“分发”;collect together意为“收集一起”。故选C项。]
3.A.assignments B.duty
C.evaluation D.messages
答案 A [根据第一题的解析可知答案。assignment意为“作业;任务”,give out assignments意为“布置任务”;duty意为“义务”;evaluation意为“评价,评估”;message意为“信息”。]
4.A.suspects B.understands
C.wonders D.expects
答案 C [句中提到新生发现别的学生一直在记笔记,他们不知道该记些什么,所以用wonder,意为“想知道”。suspect意为“怀疑”,understand意为“理解,明白”,expect意为“期盼”,均与句意不符,故选C项。]
5.A.without B.with
C.on D.by
答案 B [上文提到学生记笔记,所以学生听完讲座离开的时候要随身带走自己的笔记。without意为“没有”;with意为“带有”;on意为“在……上面”;by意为“被;通过”。]
6.A.what B.those
C.as D.which
答案 D [分析句子结构可知,句中which引导的是一个定语从句,修饰notes,其句意为“没有抓住(讲座)要点的笔记”。根据下文提到很难理解可知,设空处还是描述notes的情况,所以这里是两个定语从句的并列句,并列的两个部分是“which do not catch the main points and which become hard even for the___7__ to understand.”, which均指代notes。故选D项。]
7.A.teachers B.classmates
C.partners D.students
答案 D [上文提到笔记没有抓住要点,所以应该是学生(students)记下的笔记连自己也无法明白。故选D项。]
8.A.prevent B.require
C.assist D.forbid
答案 C [鉴于上述学生不会记笔记的情况,许多学校开设课程以帮助新生培养记笔记的能力。prevent意为“阻止”;require意为“要求”;assist意为“帮助”;forbid意为“禁止”。]

C.hardworking D.fortunate
答案 A [在培养记笔记能力的同时,也要使学生成为一名真正有效率的听众。effective意为“有效的”;inspired意为“受到激励的”;hardworking意为“努力的”;fortunate意为“幸运的”。故选A项。]

11.A.enable B.encourage
C.determine D.detect
答案 A [本句中which引导的是定语从句,指代的是studyskills guides,根据上下文意思可得知,这些指导使学生们能够独立地锻炼这些学习技巧。enable sb. to do sth.意为“使某人能够做某事”;encourage sb. to do sth.意为“鼓励某人做某事”;determine意为“决定;控制”;detect意为“发现;察觉”。根据语境可知选A项。]
12.A.independently B.separately
C.lonely D.confidently
答案 A [句意见上一题解析。independently意为“独立地”;separately意为“单独地,分别地”;lonely意为“孤独的”,是形容词;confidently意为“自信地”。故选A项。]
13.A.evaluate B.cope
C.tackle D.describe
答案 C [句意:任何时候(学生)在开始学习之前解决这种(听课技能的)问题是很重要的。上文提到的方法都是要解决学生听课技能的问题,所以设空处应表示解决问题。evaluate意为“评价,评估”;cope意为“解决,处理”;tackle意为“解决”;describe意为“描述”。故选C项。
【易错警示】本题易误选B项,但cope为不及物动词,当表示“解决”时要用cope with。]

doing sth.意为“做某事有困难”,为固定用法。故选B项。]
16.A.inquired B.required
C.acquired D.considered
答案 B [句意见上一题解析。根据句子结构可知,设空处应是过去分词作定语。inquire意为“询问,打听”;require意为“要求”;acquire意为“获得”;consider意为“考虑;认为”。故选B项。]
17.A.preventing B.standing
C.accepting D.overcoming
答案 D [上一句提到承认这种困难的存在,所以该句应是克服困难的方法。prevent意为“阻止”;stand意为“忍受”;accept意为“接受”;overcome意为“克服”。]
18.A.average B.ordinary
C.normal D.academic
答案 D [本题涉及的是学年(the academic year)的表达方法。average意为“平均的”;ordinary意为“普通的”;normal意为“正常的”;academic意为“学术的;学业的”。]

If you were going to drive to somewhere____8___, firstly you would map it out. More likely, you would often look at the____9___for directions to make sure that you were on the right track. You would be able to tell quickly if you needed to___10__ adjustments, correct
a
mistake, or
consider
a(n)___11___of plans. Don't let your temporary, current desires take precedence over what you really want, because an important part of success is___12__ what is and what isn't a distraction.
For example, as you are____13___ for your party, you see a seller with some fresh flowers and you decide to stop and___14___some for your friends. In this___15__, a stop along the way adds to your goal.___16__, if you decide to stop and see a movie and arrive quite___17___at the party, then you have detracted from your goal.
It is exactly true for The Life Map.Each “opportunity” must be___18___according to how it will___19___your final goal—will it contribute to it___20___will it detract from it? Therefore,both the driving map and the Life Map serve the same high purpose: To Keep You On Track.

1.A.refer to
B.focus on
C.think about
D.adapt to

2.A.suddenly
B.possibly
C.formally D.properly
答案 D [从空格前的“and”可知这是并列关系,再结合“quickly可知选D项。properly“适当地;完全;正确地”。]
3.A.to
B.in
C.at
D.for
答案 B [这是固定搭配。be in a mess“处于混乱状态”。]
4.A.chance
B.solution

5.A.need
B.lose
C.matter
D.exist
答案 C [如果我们没有了人生之图,那么世界上所有的计划都不重要了。matter有关系;要紧。误解分析:没有深刻理解句意而导致误选A或D项,注意这里说的不是计划是否存在或是否需要计划的问题,而是强调map的重要性,即如果没有了map,任何计划都没有用了。]
6.A.excitedly
B.unsteadily
C.aimlessly
D.happily
答案 C [下文说到有很多不同的路让我们分心,所以我们这时开车应该是没有目的的(aimlessly)。]

D.why
答案 B [人生应该有目的,下文的“there”也是提示,所以选B项。]
8.A.unfamiliar
B.unusual
C.unimportant
D.unattractive
答案 A [从常识方面来判断可知,我们应该是到一个不熟悉的(unfamiliar)地方,才会事先做一番计划。]

答案 A [下文说参加晚会的路上停下来买花或看电影等,因此应该是前往晚会,head for“前往”。误解分析:因只考虑空白处所填词与宾语晚会的关系,而没有看到see,stop等动作的提示,误选B项。]
14.A.put out
B.work on
C.see to
D.pick up
答案 D [该空后面的宾语some指代前文的fresh flowers,这里是说决定停下来给朋友买些花。pick up“取;拾;挑”。]
15.A.time
B.system
C.case
D.area
答案 C [前面是举的一个例子,所以这里是说在这种情况下(in this
case)。]
16.A.However

20.A.or
B.but
C.and
D.so
答案 A [从空后的问号及前后的contribute(有助于)和detract(减损)可知这是选择关系,所以选A项。]

1.A.the
B.all
C.every
D.these
答案 C [每三个人当中就有一个,也就是三分之一,用every,故选C。若把A、B和D填进去,表示的都是具体的三个人中的一个,而不能表达“三分之一”的意思,故排除。]
2.A.tells
B.means
C.shows
D.asks
答案 B [节食就意味着(means)吃得更少,四个选项中,只有B符合文意。]
3.A.Others
B.Other
C.All
D.Those
答案 B [some...others...表示“一些人……,另一些人……”。但是在这个空后面有people这个名词,所以这里不能用others,而应当用other。故排除A,选B。前面已经说了一些人是怎么做的,所以这里肯定不能填all,故排除C。D明显不对。]
4.A.or
B.that
C.which
D.until
答案 A [“special equipment,take medicine和even have
surgery”这三者是并列关系,是对其中的选择,故选A。]
5.A.although B.but
C.and
D.unless
答案 C [“减肥是件艰辛的工作”和“花费许多钱”之间是并列关系,故选C。A表示让步,B表示转折,D表示条件,用在这里都不合适,故排除。]
6.A.what
B.how
C.when
D.why
答案 D [减肥既然劳民伤财,那么为什么(why)还有那么多人想要减肥呢?作者不明白为什么,所以提问,故选D。由后面都是在说明原因也可推知此处填why。]
7.A.money
B.weight
C.chance
D.mind
答案 B [全篇都是关于减肥(lose weight)的,所以这里很容易选出答案B。]
8.A.ready
B.worried
C.anxious
D.angry
答案 C [be ready for“为……做好准备”,说美国人为看起来年轻做好准备,不符合文意,故排除A; be worried about“为……担忧”,故排除B;be angry for sth.“为某事而生气”,谁都不会为自己看起来年轻漂亮而生气,故排除D。be anxious for“渴望”,是指美国人都渴望自己看起来年轻,故选C。]
9.A.being
B.looking
C.eating
D.acting
答案 B [在有些人看来,看起来(looking)感觉好那就是苗条,选B符合文意。good是形容词,如果前面放实义动词就成了形容词修饰动词,不符合语法规则,故排除C和D;looking在这里作系动词,意为“看起来”,而being不具有这个意思,故排除A,选B。]
10.A.friends
B.looks
C.health
D.relations
答案 C [下文“许多医生说过度肥胖是不健康的”,所以有些人减肥是为自己的健康(health)考虑,故选C。其他选项在文中找不到信息支持,故排除A、B、D。]
11.A.makes
B.made
C.was
D.is
答案 D [主句是用了一般现在时,那么从句也要用相应的时态,故排除B和C。医生只是陈述一个事实,而不是阐述不健康产生的过程,故排除A,选D。]

D.thin
答案 C [由美国人减肥导出作者的另一个疑问“美国人真的很胖(fat)吗?”。这由下面的回答也可推出此处选C。D选项和作者原意相反;A和B的提问与后文的回答无关,故也排除。]
13.A.much
B.less
C.more
D.heavy
答案 C [由后面的“美国是世界上最超重的国家”可推断出美国人是比标准体重至少重了20%。由than可知这里要用比较级,故排除A和D,less than少于,如果选B,则说明美国人是偏瘦的,和后面的话相互矛盾,故排除B,选C。]
14.A.However B.In fact
C.At last
D.Besides
答案 B [这里进行事实性的总结,用in fact,意为“实际上”,故选B。其他选项不符合文意。]
15.A.energy
B.weight
C.fat
D.flesh
答案 C [下文提示法。由下文中的“stored energy”可知此处应为“储存的脂肪”(the stored fat)重达……,故答案选C。A项“energy”是无法用重量来衡量的,故排除;其他选项在文中找不到信息支持。]
16.A.burning B.taking
C.getting
D.turning
答案 A [这里是指燃烧(burning)这些储存的能量,选A最合适。其他选项没法和energy搭配,故排除B、C、D。]

B.much
C.most
D.less
答案 C [A和D明显违背作者的原意,故排除。much只能修饰不可数名词,故排除B。选C,指大多数人(most people)都在想通过捷径减肥。]

B.plan
C.suggestion
D.way
答案 D [这里指寻找快速容易的减肥方法(way),而不是“主意、计划或建议”,故排除A、B、C,选D。]

5.A.idea
B.opinion
C.story
D.invention
答案 A [生物钟控制着我们的身体,这是科学家提出的一个“概念”(idea),而不是科学家讲的“故事”(story),故排除C;科学家是提出了概念,不属于个人“发明”(invention),故排除D;选B也不够恰当,因为观点(opinion)只是个人心里的想法,故排除B,只能选A。]
6.A.difficult B.exciting
C.surprising
D.interesting
答案 C [根据since后的从句可知,前面应该是不应该太“惊讶”,而不是“困难的”,“令人兴奋的”或“令人感兴趣的”,故排除A、B、D,选C。]

答案 A [生物钟被打乱后人们会有不愉快的感觉(feelings),选A符合文意。其他选项不符合文意。]
12.A.prevented
B.allowed
C.used
D.expected
答案 C [A、B、D三个选项用在这里的话,后面都不应当用动名词形式,而应当用动词原形,故排除这三个选项,选C。be used to doing sth意为“习惯做某事”。]
13.A.miss
B.none
C.lack
D.need
答案 C [lack of意为“缺少”,用在这里符合文意,故选C。A和D搭配错误,B与of搭配后意思不符合文意,故排除。]

18.A.agree
B.believe
C.realize D.allow
答案 A [后面是列出了关于我们身体状况的一些情况,大多数人应当都出现过这种情况,所以应当是我们大多数人都“同意”(agree)这种说法,选A。其他选项不符合文意。]
19.A.other
B.the other
C.others D.all other
答案 C [前面出现了some days,后面应当是other days或others,但是空格后面没有days这个名词,所以不能选A,只能选C。]
20.A.just
B.only
C.still
D.yet
