2002年同等学历英语完型填空真题及答案解析
短文概要:本文介绍了印度南部喀拉拉省计划生育的情况。印度全国没有采用有效的计划生育政策,人口出生率多年来仍据高不下。但是在印度南部的喀拉拉省,由于三分之而的妇女采用了计划生育措施,人口增长率趋于平稳。
71.C 根据上下文语意及词汇知识解题。本句意思是"自1971年起中国开始______计划生育政策以来,印度人口与中国人口的_____逐渐缩小"。launch意为"考试,发动,发射";circulate意为"使传播,循环,流通";transmit意为"传送,传达,传播"。
72.A 参见71题,gap指"差距,距离"。bet指"打赌"。
73.D 这是一道语法题。as much as 是修饰birth rate的,因birth rate不可数,因此用as much as。as well as和as soon as不合题意。
74.B 根据上下文意思,印度人口的增长速度很快。四个选项中pass是超过的意思,符合句意。
75.C 这是测试介词用法的题。本句意思是"如果按照现在的人口出生率持续下去,印度人口将在2028年超过中国,达到17亿。"达到某一数量用介词at。
76.D 本题要根据下文的线索来判断。本句的意思是"如果是这样的话,也不是印度南部喀
拉拉省有知识的妇女的 。"fault意为"错误;过失",这里只有它符合题意。
77.A 本题考查连词的用法,要根据上下文的逻辑关系来判断。我们根据下文提到的"喀拉拉省三分之二的妇女实行计划生育"这句话来推断,while引导的状语从句有"虽然"的意思,正合题意。
78. B 参考77题。stable意为"稳定的,稳固的;平稳的";reliable意为"可信赖的;可靠的";countable意为"可数的;可计算的";flexible意为"灵活的;易弯曲的"。
79.C compared with意为"与… …相比",正合题意。benefited from意为"从… …获利",involved with 意为"与… …有牵连";resulted from意为"由于… …发生;产生"。
80.A lie in意为"在于";show off意为"炫耀;卖弄";result in意为"导致;结果";depart from意为"从… …离开;违反"。
81.B 根据常识,计划生育是健康卫生教育的一部分,所以答案应是是including。
82.D 这是一道语法题,测试点为非限定性定语从句的连接词。本句是上一句的非限定性定语从句。只能用which连接。
83.C 本题要根据上文的同义词线索解题。这个定语从句的先行词是authorities(权力机关,政权),根据上下文,这里要选一个同义词,四个选项中,只有C government合适。
84.A 根据上文提到的"母系传统",可知女性地位很高,使得当地女孩和男孩享有平等的受教育机会,所以答案应该是equally。
85.B 本文要根据近义词线索来判断。literate是形容词,意为"受过教育的"就相当于下文中的"能读能写的"。
86.A foster意为"助长,帮助,养育",正合题意。hamper意为"妨碍,阻碍,束缚";advocate意为"倡导,主张,拥护"。
87.C 根据上下文意思判断。孩子是可数名词,因此fewer符合题意,不能用less。
88.D 该题是测试limit…to…的用法。limit作为动词后面只能加介词to,其他的都不行。
89.B average意为"平均";statistics意为"统计";tendency意为"趋势,倾向";category意为"种类,部门"。
90.C 本句意思是"这种限制使喀拉拉省不会给世界粮食供应增加更多的压力。"challenge意为"挑战";complaint意为"抱怨,控告",都不合题意。
