C. earlier

解析1:从mixture和immigrants两词可以看出此句的意思是说，夏威夷当

folk表示民间的，不合题意。
解析2: Who引导定语从句，修饰它前面的名词。既然是immigrants，肯
定是后来移居到这里的人。所以选项A是正确的。

C. were being planted
D. had been planted
4. A. When
B. That.
C. So.
D. Though
解析3:这里考查的是语态和时态，种植园的开垦应是有人来做的，因此，
语态应为被动态。按照后半句的意思，当时人手不够，说明是在做
这件事的时候，应当是现在进行时。这个事件发生在过去，因此应
用被动语态的过去进行时。选项C是正确的。
解析4:这里表示一个因果关系。上面提到人手不够，许多外国人纷纷移
民来此。选项C是正确的。
译文： 在二十世纪初，人们开垦菠萝种植园时，住在这的人数不够从事

7. A. past
B. today
C. America D. other countries
解析5:此空前面有一个词组“瞧不起（look down on）”，后面的一句又说如今
对旧的方式又有新的自豪感（pride）。所以这里应选择与自豪相反的词，排
除选项A和B。原文并未提及原有的生活方式遭到破坏，选项C是排除。
解析6:既然原有的方式重新受到重视，传统的歌舞也在学校里讲授，学生要学
的语言肯定也是当地的语言。选项B是正确的。
解析7:同样，对夏威夷岛屿的历史也感兴趣了，以及这个岛屿过去的文化。此
处不可能是当今的文化，也不可能是美国或其他国家的文化。这里强调的是

9. A. are used B. was
C. used
D. would
10. A. approach B. arrive
C. reached
D. stay
解析8:此空后面是to do sth。排除选项A：enjoy doing sth；此空前没有系动词，
排除选项B：be willing to do sth。 be like 意为“像”。选项C是正确的。
解析9: be used to sth 习惯于某事，used to do sth 过去常常做某事，be to do
sth 将要做某事，would do 过去将来时。这篇文章通篇讲的是夏威夷过去的
传统文化如何重新受到重视。因此，这里应指的是过去常常发生的事。
解析10: approach走近、靠近，arrive in/at（a place）到达某地，reach（a
place）到达某地，stay短期住。选项A和D逻辑上不符。原文空后有介词in，
故选项B是正确的。
译文：到岛上来的旅游者想看的也是岛屿伊甸园过去的样子。每天都有大陆众多
的游客进入夏威夷。

解析12:在确定的数字后，表示……以前，用ago。选项B是正确的。
解析13:这一段讲的是夏威夷旅游业的繁荣。这个岛屿的人口，肯定两种人相加：
当地居民和旅游者。选项A是正确的。
译文：现在旅游的标志到处都是。火奴鲁鲁和他的郊区在30年前，是一个拥有
250000人口的安静的地方。现在却成了拥有 800000居民和旅游者的拥挤的
地方了。
• As you drive around the island of Oahu, you can find

译文：你若开车环绕欧胡岛，你会发现许多的海滨已经停止对公众开放了。越来

根据空后面所说，他可以根据自己的意愿开任何一扇门，表示可能性。
选项D是正确的。
解析7:根据上下文，开哪扇门完全没有依据，也没有任何的指点。选项D
是正确的。
•
If he opened the one, there came out of it a hungry tiger, the 8
and most cruel that could be found, which 9 sprang upon him and
tore him to pieces as a punishment for his guilt. 10 , if the accused
person opened the other door, out of it came a 11 lady, and to this
lady he was immediately married, as a reward of his innocence.

B. wild
C. softest

解析8: And后面是最高级，空前有定冠词，也应是最高级，其意义应与
and后面的词相近，因为前面说老虎出来了，可以想象其场面。选项
A是正确的。
解析9:饥饿的老虎冲出来，肯定会立即扑向这个人。选项A是正确的。
解析10:前面讲了如果开了一扇门，可能出来的是老虎，其结局会很惨。
而另外的一扇门出来的则是美女。两扇门的打开会有完全不同的结果。
所以这里应用转折词，选项C是正确的。
解析11:后面说，如果门里出来的是女人则表明这个人是无罪的。这个女
人则是对他的奖赏，那么这个女人应该是美丽的。选项C是正确的。
• This was the 12 method of administering justice. Its perfect
fairness is obvious. The criminal could 13 know out of which door
would come the lady; he opened either he pleased, without having
the slightest 14 whether, in the next instant, he was to be
devoured or married. So the accused person was instantly 15 if
guilty, and, if innocent, he was rewarded on the spot.
12. A. criminal’s
B. king’s
C. lady’s
D. tiger’s
13. A. even
B. also
C. especially D. not
14. A. interest
B. belief
C. idea
D. reason
15. A. punish
B. punishing C. punishes
D. punished
解析12: Administering justice执法。这就是国王如何判断有罪与无罪的
方法。选项B是正确的。
解析13:用否定式。因为前面已经说过，受审的人并不知道哪扇门会走出
老虎，哪扇门会走出美丽的姑娘。选项D是正确的。
解析14: idea主意、迹象、想法。受审的人没有丝毫的主意下一步他会怎
样。选项C是正确的。
解析15:空前已有了was，并且，“受到惩罚”应用被动态。选项D是正
确的。on the spot 当场、现场。

• From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of
broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us.
When humans first 1 , they were like newborn children, unable to
use this valuable tool. Yet once language developed, the
possibilities for human kind’s future 2 and cultural growth
increased.
1. A. generated
2. A. attainments
B. evolved
B. feasibility
C. born
D. originated
C. entertainments D. evolution
解析1: evolved：“进化，发展”；generated：“生殖，发展”，born：
“诞生”不能作为谓语动词。originated：“发端，起源”。
解析2: attainments：“成就，功绩”；feasibility：“可行性，可能性”；
entertainments：“娱乐，消遣”；evolution：“进化”。
• Many linguists believe that evolution is 3 for our ability to produce
and use language. They claim that our highly evolved brain provides
us 4 an innate(天生的) language ability not found in lower
organisms. Proponents（支持者）of this innateness theory say that
our 5 for language is inborn, but that language itself develops
gradually, 6 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood.
Therefore there are critical biological times for language
development.
3. A. essential
B. available
C. reliable
D. responsible
4. A. for
B. from
C. of
D. with
5. A. potential
B. performance C. preference
D. passion
6. A. as
B. just as
C. like
D. unlike

“影响，导致”。
解析4: provide sb. with sth.：“向某人提供某物”。
解析5: potential：“潜力”；performance：“施行、履行”；
preference：“喜好，偏爱”；passion：“激情”。
解析6: as：“作为，当作”，原句的意思是：“语言本身作为童年时期
大脑生长的一种功能，……”。
• Current 7 of innateness theory are mixed; however, evidence
supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable.
8 ,more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages
are best taught in 9 grades.
7. A. reviews
8. A .In a word.
9. A. various
B. reference
B. In a sense.
B. different
C. reaction
C. Indeed
C. the higher
D. recommendation
D. In other words
D. the lower
解析7: reviews：“评论，论文”；reference：“参考”；reaction：
“反应”；recommendation：“推荐”。
解析8: indeed在此处的意思是“甚至”，符合此句中表递进的关系。
解析9:联系下文中“young children often…”可知这里应填“the lower”：
“低年级的”。
• Yong children often can learn several languages by being 10 to
them, while adults have a much harder time learning another
language once the 11 of their first language have become firmly
fixed.
10. A. revealed
11. A. regulations
B. exposed
B. formations
C. engaged
C. rules
D. involved
D. constitutions
解析10: be exposed to：“接触到，暴露于”固定搭配。
解析11: rule：“规则，规定”；regulation：“规定”；formation：
“构成”；constitution：“宪章”。
•
12 some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language
does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have
been isolated from other human beings do not possess language.
This demonstrates that 13 with other human beings is necessary
for proper language development.
12. A. Although
13. A. exposition
B. Whether
B. comparison
C. Since.
C. contrast
D. When
D. interaction
解析12:分析前一分句与后一个分句的语意，我们可以推知这里需要一个
表示转折关系的连词，Although：“虽然”正符合题意。
解析13: interaction：“相互作用，相互影响”，其他几个选项不符合语
意。
• Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human
language 14 than any innate capacities. These theorists view
language as imitative, learned behavior. 15 ,children learn
language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually
shape their child’s language skills by positively reinforcing precise
imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.
14. A. acquisition
15. A. As a result
B. appreciation C. requirement
D. alternative
B. After all
C. In other words D. Above all
解析14: acquisition：“获得，获取”与“developments”相对应。
解析15: In other words：“换言之”，固定搭配；As a result：“结果
是”；After all：“毕竟”；Above all：“首先地”。

•
Then he would examine the straw very carefully to see 4 he could find

C. how
D. whether
5. A. lucky
B. expecting
C. suspecting
D. insisting

解析4: that在引导宾语从句时不作任何句子成分；where作为疑问副词，
引导宾语从句时在句中充当地点状语，how是疑问副词；whether一
般引导间接引语。
解析5: insist in（doing）sth：“坚持做某事”；lucky：“幸运的”，在
此处不符合逻辑；suspect：“怀疑”，常跟that引导的从句或不定式
的复合结构；expect可带不定式，表示“希望，估计”的意思。
解析6: nothing与句中的“never”不能并用在此句中。something不用于否
定句或疑问句；everything不符合题意，故都可排除。

解析8:考查动词与介词的搭配，look on：“旁观”；look upon：“视为，

解析9: as usual：“像往常一样”。
解析10: cried常与out 连用“大声喊”；say（sth.）to sb.：“对某人讲
（某事）”；ordered：“命令”；tell：“告诉”，从后面语意知，
Henry’s口气不是很强硬，所以不用order。
解析11:考查介词的区别用法，cross是动词；behind：“在……后面”；
across：“穿过，跨越”；into：“进入……”。
• Won’t you tell me what it is that you’re bringing into the country so
successfully? I’m an old man, and today is my last day on the 12 .
