【短文概要】本篇主题为分析夜间电视节目主持人Considine得以复出的原因。在六十年代,Considine曾是激进的年轻人喜爱的节目主持人。如今事过境迁,当年的狂热青年如今已经成为中产阶级,构成夜间电视节目观众的主体。虽然他们已不再狂热,但Considine的复出触动了他们的怀旧情结。Considine本人不仅才气不减当年,而且已更加成熟,为电视网所接受,因而再次为电视网吸引了众多观众。
【试题讲析】 段首句大意:显然,我们必须雇佣一个能广泛吸引成熟的成年电视观众的人,而且这个人应该有辉煌的过去来证明他的价值。段尾句:通过请Considine复出,我们给观众带来了这位仍然保持了他以往才气的传奇人物。
1、 选[D] itself。本题考反身代词。speak for itself 为固定搭配,意为"不言自喻,无需说明"。
2、 选[A] choice。本题考理解基础上的近义词辨析。根据对通篇的理解,我们知道此处作者要表达的意思是"所以Considine 是最好的人选"。因此,可以排除 consideration意为"考虑"和[C] chance意为"机会"。然后进一步甄别[A] choice和[D] selection。两个单词都可以表示选择,但两者的词义侧重有所不同。choice指"选中的人或物",而selection则指"待选择物,可供挑选的事项"。因此,[A] choice符合文章的要求,是正确答案。
3、 选 who。本题考定语从句。由于该定语从句修饰人物the viewers,故应由指代人的关系代词who引导。
4、 选[A] sixties。本题考通篇理解与对语篇连贯线索的把握。首先,Considine此次是复出,他在过去就曾有过辉煌;定语从句所用的过去时态也证实了这个推测,因此,需填写词应该代表过去的某一时期。此外,下文中The twenty-year-old radical of 1969提供了过去的具体年份,故答案为 [A] sixties。
5、 选[C] television。根据语法,本题答案应为名词,词义为夜间"电视节目"或"电视观众"。参照选择项,便可确定答案为前者,即[C] television。干扰项词义:[A] club"俱乐部"; series"连续、系列";[D] heroes"主人公、英雄"。
6、 选[A] accounted for。本题考理解基础上的语法和动词短语知识运用。我们在通读全文、确定主题时已得知本文讲明星Considine复出的事。从语法角度看,本句主句的基本结构是Those teenagers and young adults…are…,本题答案处于who所引导的定语从句之中,修饰teenagers 和young adults;此外,该词在从句中作谓语。因此,可结合这两条线索,考虑四个选择项的含义:[A] accounted for,意为"说明原因"; appealed to意为"对…有吸引力、有感染力";[C] referred to意为"提及";[D] composed of意为"组成";显然,答案当为[A] accounted for。
7、 选[C] ago。根据对全文的理解和第6题答案的过去时形式,得知此处提及的是Considine在六十年代的high ratings,因此本题答案为表示过去的[C] ago。大意是:正是多年前导致Considine成名的那些青少年和成年人…。high ratings意为"很高的评价、好评"。
8、 选[D] viewers。本句结构是:Those teenagers and young adults are precisely the…。从who引导的定语从句看,可以断定本题指人。我们又注意到这里用了现在时,结合文章的主题,可以判断这个定语从句所修饰的是现在的观众。据此,可以从选择项中排除[A] radicals"激进分子"和programmers"编程人员"。此外, audience指"听众",[D] viewers指"观众",故为本题答案。下句的含义证实了这个判断:1969年二十来岁的激进分子现在已到中年,进入了中产阶级;他们是爱看夜间电视节目的观众。
9、 选 Although。本题考连贯。鉴于第10、第11、第12 题解决后会使本句连贯线索更加完整,因此不妨将此题留到第10、第11、第12 题完成之后再考虑。本题的解题思路是:前句提到1969年的激进青年,本句讲这些人现在已经"不再(no longer)"象以往那样…有争议的问题了,但作者形容他们回忆往事时的心情却用了happy nostalgia,即"愉快的怀旧情绪",可见本题答案当为一个转折连词。大意是:虽然这些人已经不再…有争议的问题了,但他们仍然怀着愉快的心情追忆过去。故答案为 Although。在各干扰项中,[C] Moreover和[D] Thus都是顺接连词,moreover表示递进关系,后接对事物进一步的阐述;thus引出结果,所以这两个选项均可排除。[A] Even if意为"即便",也不符合文章要求。
10、 选[D] fight for。本题考理解。如前所述,此处讲到这些当年的激进分子如今已到中年,根据短语no longer(不再)的提示,从逻辑上推理,答案应表示这些人已经不再激进,因此他们面对controversial issues(有争议的事情)时的所作所为应当是"不再热衷"。参照选择项,便可得出正确答案为[D] fight for,即不再为有争议的事情而战斗了。干扰项的含义分别为:[A] struggle against"同…斗争"; do away with"消除、取消";[C] carry out"进行"。
11、选[D] with。本题考理解基础上的句子结构知识。本句的主体结构为they recall those days of …,即:他们回想起(当年)那些在政治上反叛的日子。而…happy nostalgia为介词短语,作状语修饰动词recall,描述他们回顾过去时的心情。参照选择项,便可得出正确答案为[D] with,即"带着幸福的怀旧情绪回忆过去的反叛"。介词with或without之后可跟表示情绪的抽象名词,用来形容人的心境。具有类似用法的介词还有in,如:in surprise意为"吃惊地"、in delight意为"高兴地"。
第9题、第10题、第11题的解题顺序如下:先做考介词搭配的第11题,再做考局部理解的第10题,最后解决考更大范围理解的连贯问题,即第9题。
12、 选[A] dangerous。根据对全文主题和本句的理解。本题答案为形容词,修饰comedy,构成名词短语,并与另一个名词短语political rebellion共同作介词of的宾语,具体描述"过去的岁月"。考察选项中的四个形容词,能与代表六十年代动荡氛围的单词radicals,political rebellion,controversial issues和fight等词语的意境相符的形容词有[A] dangerous和[C] exciting。前者带有一定的负面意义,后者则是带褒义的单词。进一步考虑引号的作用,即"所谓的"而不是"真正的"之意,则dangerous是更贴切的答案。
13、 选[C] popularity。本题考词义辨析,而辨析的基础是文章对单词的语义要求。提示来自本句identify with the heroes of their youth,意为"认同他们青年时期的英雄"和Considine is one of those heroes,意为"Considine是他们所认同的英雄之一"。至此,表示"受到广泛欢迎的"popularity就成为唯一可能的正确答案。下文中continues to be in demand呼应了这个意思。干扰项词义:[A] content意为"内容"; name意为"名称";[D] fame意为"名誉"。fame有很强的干扰性。但是,毕竟"有很高的名誉"并不等同于"受到广泛的欢迎",因此不符合文章的要求。special在这里是名词,意为"专栏"或"专题节目"。
14、 选[A] talent。本题考理解基础上的词义辨析。选项中能与文中多次出现、体现主题的单词high rating,love,hero,popularity等相呼应的词当为talent。换言之,最能带来high rating,love,hero,popularity等的是talent,意为"才干",而不是ideas(观点)或report(报告),更不会是什么weaknesses(弱点)。此外,这个单词也在下文重复出现。鉴于综合填空的考核目标为语篇能力,需填写词常常在文章其它地方再次或多次出现。这个综合填空短文的语篇连贯特征也可成为验证试题答案的有效依据之一。
15、 选[C] is。本题考时态。本句含两个并列的分句,前一个分句为一般现在时,表示Considine一直没有失去光彩,一直是国际范围的热点人物、被看作优秀主持人;鉴于文章并没有提供其它时间状语,后一个分句也应该使用现在时态。据此,可以排除 was和[D] had been这两个表示过去的时态。此外,[A] will be为将来时,表示"将被邀请",不符合文意,也可排除。可见辨别时态的依据是对文章的正确理解。语法知识同理解相结合才能很好地发挥作用,带来语言应用能力。
16、 选 as。本题考词法。本句主要结构为"His talent was remarkable",本题答案所在的短语为talent的定语,进一步说明Considine具有"哪一方面的天才"。因此,答案为 as,意为"作为…",即"作为滑稽短剧演员的特殊才干"。sketch为名词,意为"滑稽短剧";comedian意为喜剧演员。
17、 选[A] matured。本题考识别词语呼应的连贯线索的能力。(见19题)他的 变得越来越成熟。选项中的四个动词都是过去分词,词义分别是:[A] matured"成熟了"; raised"被提高了";[C] changed"已改变了";[D] proved"被证明了"。从逻辑上的呼应角度看,matured是最佳选择。本句大意:Considine的天才在他最早的滑稽短剧系列节目中就很突出了,从那以后,他的天才已经更加成熟了。
18、 选[D] rejected。本题考语篇水平上的理解,应特别注意句首的转折连词Although的作用。在这个句子中,从句是过去时,主句为现在完成时,可见本题所表达的是过去的事情。下文中By hiring Considine we …表明目前Considine已经被起用。因此转折词的使用表明从句中所表达的应该是Considine过去不被录用的情况,因此应选[D] rejected"拒绝、抵制"之意。干扰项词义:[A] admired"赞赏、欣赏"; accepted"接受",[C] denounced"谴责、斥责"。都不符合文章此处的语义要求。本句大意是:虽然过去电视网拒绝了他,但是如今时代已经变了。
19、 选 comedy。本题考对文章主题的理解。Considine的结局是喜剧。(见16题)as a sketch comedian。因此,答案应该为 comedy。干扰项词义:[A] tragedy"悲剧";[C] appearance"外貌、出现、登台演出";[D] profession"职业"。
20. 选 broadened。本题考理解。Considine 之所以能从不被电视网认可变为被看好,是由双方原因促成的。Considine更加成熟,而电视网更加宽容。因此,应该选择 broadened,即放宽。干扰项词义:[A] returned"交还、回来";[C] weakened"削弱了";[D] reduced"减少了"。

A weather map is an important tool for geographers. A succession of three or four maps presents a continuous picture of weather changes. Weather forecasters are able to determine the speed of air masses and fronts; to determine whether an individual pressure area is deepening or becoming shallow and whether a front is increasing or decreasing in intensity. They are also able to determine whether an air mass is retaining its original characteristics or taking on those of the surface over which it is moving. Thus, a most significant function of the map is to reveal a synoptic picture (天气图) of conditions in the atmosphere at a given time.
All students of geography should be able to interpret a weather map accurately. Weather maps contain an enormous amount of information about weather conditions existing at the time of observation over a large geographical area. They reveal in a few minutes what otherwise would take hours to describe. The United States Weather Bureau issues information about approaching storms, floods, frosts and all climatic conditions in general. Twice a month it issues a 30-day "outlook" which is a rough guide to weather conditions likely to occur over broad areas of the United States. These 30-day outlooks are based upon an analysis of the upper air level which often set the stage for the development of air masses, fronts, and storms.
Considerable effort is being exerted today to achieve more accurate weather predictions. With the use of electronic instruments and earth satellites, enormous gains have taken place recently in identifying and tracking storms over regions which have but few meteorological stations (气象站). Extensive experiments are also in progress for weather modification studies. But the limitations of weather modification have prevented meteorological results except in the seeding (制人造雨时之撒干冰) of super-cooled, up-slope mountainous winds which have produced additional geographic precipitation (降水) on the windward side of mountain ranges. Nevertheless, they have provided a clearer understanding of the fundamentals of weather elements.
