综合能力
1.the ( ) of the international community was encouraged in solving the problems.
a. requirement
b. settlement
c. management
d. involvement
【答案】d。考查词汇辨析。a项:要求;b项:解决、定居;c项:管理;d项:介入、参加。根据题意“国际社区被鼓励参与解决这一问题”,d项更符合题意,因此答案选d。
2.serena often has a long discussion with ( ) colleagues about sales figure forecast for q1fy 2014.
a. herself
b. hers
c. her
d. she
【答案】c。考查代词的用法。根据题意,“和她的同事进行了长时间的讨论”,应该是“她的同事”,因此答案选c。a项是反身代词,不符合原文语法规则,排除;b项是名词性物主代词,是名词词性,不符合原文语法规则;d项是主语,不符合原文;故答案选c。
3.all kinds of techniques and medicines ( ) to extend human beings’ lives in recent years.
a. have developed
b. are being developed
c. were developed
d. develop
【答案】b。突破口在原文的in recent years,该短语通常用现在完成时、一般现在时,以及现在进行时,据此可排除cd选项;再根据题意,“所有的技术和药物”应该是“被发展”,要用被动语态,且动作一直延续至今,现在进行时有“一直持续至今”之意,因此答案选b。a项没有用被动语态,排除;故答案选b。
