1、2022年考博英语-合肥工业大学考前模拟强化练习题（附答案详解）1. 单选题People may get verses wrong, but they also mangle plenty of well-known biblical stories as well.问题1选项A.spoilB.imitateC.formulateD.violate【答案】A【解析】考查动词辨析。A选项spoil“溺爱；糟蹋；破坏”；B选项imitate“模仿；仿造”；C选项formulate“规划；用公式表示；明确地表达”；D选项violate“违反；侵犯”。句意：人们可能会读错经文，但他们也会许多著名的圣经
2、故事。由关键信息get verses wrong“读错经文”只是常见问题，后一句会加深问题的严重性。因此可以排除B，C选项。D选项一般是指违反规则，这里的承受对象是biblical stories“圣经故事”，不能适用。因此A选项符合题意。2. 单选题A future doctor should have a genuine desire to help people. He or she must develop good study habits to complete the years of arduous schooling ahead.问题1选项A.strictB.unusualC
3、.enduringD.laborious【答案】D【解析】考查形容词辨析。arduous表示“努力的，费力的，险峻的”；A项strict“严格的，绝对的，精确的”，B项unusual“不寻常的，与众不同的”，C项enduring“持久的，能忍受的”，D项laborious“艰苦的，费劲的，勤劳的”。句意：一个未来的医生应该有帮助别人的真诚愿望；他或她必须养成良好的学习习惯，以完成今后几年的艰苦学习。因此，根据句意可知D选项正确。3. 单选题My spirits _ when I realized I couldnt afford the new car on my salary, which
4、I had promised to buy for my fiancee.问题1选项A.scaredB.floggedC.sankD.transmitted【答案】C【解析】考查动词辨析。A项scare“（使）害怕，受惊吓，吓跑”，B项flog“鞭打，鞭策，迫使”，C项sink“（在水或泥里）下沉，使（船只）沉没，倒下，消沉”，D项transmit“传输，传播，发射”。由My spirits“我的精神”和I couldnt afford the new car on my salary“以我的薪水，我买不起这辆新车”可知，“消沉”符合语境。句意：当我意识到凭我的工资根本买不起那辆答应给我未婚妻
5、买的新车时，我的情绪低落了。因此，该题选择C项正确。4. 单选题Humans are forever forgetting that they cant control nature. Exactly 20 years ago, a Time magazine cover story announced that “scientists are on the verge of being able to predict the time, place and even the size of earthquakes”. The people of quake ruined Kobe(神户) l
6、earned last week how wrong that assertion was.None of the methods raised two decades ago have succeeded. Even now, scientists have yet to discover a uniform warning signal that precedes all quakes, let alone any sign that would till whether the coming quake is mild or a killer. Earthquake formation
7、can be trigged by many factors, says Hiroo Kanamori, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology. So, finding one all-purpose warning sign is impossible. One reason: Quakes start deep in the earth, so scientists cant study them directly.If a quake precursor were found, it would still be
8、 impossible to warn humans in advance of all dangerous quakes. Places like Japan and California are filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of minor faults (断层). It is impossible to place monitoring instruments on all of them. And these inconspicuous sites can be just as deadly as their better-known
9、 cousins like the San Andreas Fault (圣安得列斯断层). Both the Kobe and the 1994 Northridge quakes occurred on small faults.Prediction would be less important if scientists could easily build structures to withstand tremors. While seismic engineering has improved dramatically in the past 10 to 15 year, eve
10、ry new quake reveals unexpected weaknesses in “quake resistant” structures, says Terry Tullis, a geophysicist at Brown University. In Kobe, for example, a highway that opened only last year was damaged.In the Northridge earthquake, on the other hand, well-built structures generally did not collapse.
11、 But engineers have since found hidden problems in 120 steel-frame buildings that survived. Such structures are supposed to sway with the earth rather than crumple. They may have swayed, but the quake also unexpectedly weakened the joints in their steel skeletons. If the shaking had been longer or s
12、tronger, the buildings might have collapsed.A recent report in Science adds yet more anxiety about life on the fault lines. Researchers ran computer simulations to see how quake-resistant buildings would fare in a moderate size tremor, taking into account that much of a quakes energy travels in a la
13、rge “pulse” of focused shaking. The results: both steel-frame buildings and buildings that sit on insulating rubber pads suffered severe damage.More research will help experts design stronger structures and possibly find quake precursors. But it is still a certainty that the next earthquake will pro
14、ve once again that every fault cannot be monitored and every highway cannot be completely quakeproofed.1. Which of the following statements is true about Kobe?2. The authors focus in Para. 3 is on _.3. Its impossible to avoid damages in earthquakes because _.4. It is implied in the passage that _.5.
15、 The best title for this passage could be _.问题1选项A.Last weeks quake occurred on small faults.B.People there believe in scientists ability to predict earthquakes.C.Buildings there swayed with the quake rather than crumpled.D.It can be expected that every fault can be monitored as a result of more research.问题2选项A.the need for more researchB.the impossibility to predict earthquakesC.the designing of stronger structures and the finding of quake precursorsD.the impossibility of building completely quake-proofed structures3. Its impossible to avoid damages in ear
