第二篇：2010年GCT考試模擬試卷答案解析)

答案：C 解析：本題考查語音知識，重點是易錯字讀音。A中胴(dáng)應讀dòng，恫(dáng)應讀dòng，B中忤(chǔ)應讀wǔ，D中狙(zǔ)應讀 jū。

答案：B 解析：本題考查詞語解釋。A中“舉手之勞”，意為“一舉手那樣的辛勞。形容輕而易舉，毫不費力。”C中 順民，指歸附新統治者或外族侵略者的人。D中“文思”意為“寫作的思路”。

答案：B 解析：本題考查易錯的字。A項中“樂此不彼”應為“樂此不疲”，C中“堅守自盜”應為“監守自盜”，D中“目不瑕接”應為“目不暇接”。

答案：D 解析：本題考查病句分析。A項不合邏輯，應為：提出、分析、解決。B項搭配不當，詳細的規定是對政策而言，深刻的說明是對理論而言。C項否定詞重復使用，或刪除“防止”，或刪去“不再”或“不”。

答案：C 解析：本題考查排列句序，給定若干句子，按語意連貫的要求排列成一段話，要注意以下原則：①圍繞中心，圍繞中心說相應的話，這是組合語段或語篇的首要條件，離開了這一點，無連貫可言；②角度一致，這里的“角度”是指敘述的角度，不論是長是短的一段話，都有一個敘述的角度，只有保持敘述角度的一致，語句之間才能連貫，隨意變化敘述角度，就會使文字不通順；③結構協調，這里所說的結構協調一致，既包含句子之間的結構協調，又包含一個句子內部的結構協調一致；④句子之間連貫還需要其他條件，如尋求合理的組合順序，關注前后照應等。

答案：D 解析：本題考查修辭手法及其作用。D項主要運用對偶的修辭手法，把對敵人和對人民的態度進行對比。

答案：B 解析：本題考查詩歌內容理解。①梅花在冬日開放，②中由“登高”可以看出是深秋，③中寫“熱”，自然是夏季，④寫清明，是春天。

答案：B 解析：本題考查文學常識。答案：B 解析：本題考查歷史知識。答案：B 解析：本題考查政治常識。答案：B 解析：本題考查政治常識。答案：B 解析：本題考查語句理解能力。由“在于發展個人天賦”可以看出，裴斯泰洛齊是個人本位的教育目的論。答案： A 解析：本題考查生物知識。答案： A 解析：本題考查地理知識。答案：C 解析：本題考查地理知識。答案：D 解析：本題考查近義詞詞意辨析。“莊重”、“鄭重”區別在于“莊重”多指言語、態度認真，“鄭重”多指嚴肅嚴謹。“演示”和“演練”的區別在于“演示”指顯示表現出來，“演練”重點在“訓練操練”上。“引導”、“導致”二者區別主要在于“導致”多表示一個不好的結果，“引導”多指帶領，指引向某個目標方向，傾向于好的結果。

答案：B 解析：本題考查標點符號的運用。破折號的作用之一是引出對概念內涵的具體解釋。“美的以及有意味的”是對“這種創造的結果中的一部分”進行解釋。頓號表示的是短語內部的結構關系，可以用在并列的詞語之間，也可以用在當作詞語用的短語之間。

答案：B 解析：本題考查關聯詞語的運用。“而且”表遞進，“只是”表輕微的轉折。“即使”表讓步，“假使”表假設。

答案：C 解析：本題考查文學常識。考生容易把正月十五的元夜與七月七的七夕混淆。答案：C 解析：本題考查文學常識。作者應為列夫?托爾斯泰。答案：A 解析：本題考查歷史常識。答案：C 解析：本題考查文學理論知識。《人間詞話》第三則說:“淚眼問花花不語, 亂紅飛過秋千去。”“可堪弧館閉春寒, 杜鵑聲里斜陽暮”。有我之境也。“采菊東籬下, 悠然見南山”。“寒波澹澹起, 白鳥悠悠下”。無我之境也。

答案C 解析：本題考查文學常識。答案D 解析：本題考查文章題目的理解。文中沒有提到敬亭山。答案A 解析：本題考查文學常識。答案B 解析:本題考查語句的理解。由上文“等到眾鳥棲定”，可以看出，歌者是指鳥。答案A 解析:本題考查語段的概括能力。由第一段“可以……但應當……并且”就可以看出，這是權力的限制。

答案C 解析:本題考查語段的理解能力.。由第二段最后一句“極有利于全面地調動人類感官和大腦兩半球的智慧和潛能”可以看出。

答案B 解析:本題考查內容的概括能力。第一段側重寫漢字的美感，第二段側重表述書法的審美價值、美育價值。

答案A 解析:本題考查推斷能力。文中漢字的信息“集裝箱”功能，是從審美的角度敘述，與“生活意義”沒有關系。

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage: “Fingers were made before forks”.When a person gives up good manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it.Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy.The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers, “Seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.” English travellers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years.Men who used forks were thought to be sissies, and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice.Not until the late 1600’s did using a fork become a common custom.16.The custom of eating with a fork was _____.A.brought to Europe from AmericaB.begun when forks were invented C.brought to Europe from AsiaD.invented by Italians 17.By the fifteenth century forks were used _____.A.all over ItalyB.only in Constantinople C.widely in EuropeD.In England 18.To English travellers in Italy, the use of forks seemed _____.A.cleverB.necessaryC.good mannerD.ridiculous 19.The English thought that Italians used forks in order to ______.A.imitate the people of the EastB.keep their food clean C.impress visitors with their good mannersD.amuse the English 20.In England, people who used forks at that time were considered _____.A.well manneredB.sissiesC.show-offs and overniceD.both B and C Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage Holidays in the United States usually occur at least once a month.Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday.The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends, that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families.Major holidays in the United States include New Year’s Day, Christmas Day and the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United Sates, called Thanksgiving Day.In these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay at home and celebrate with their families.Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year.This usually depends on how long you have been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high and important position and whether you can find someone to replace you.In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than take one month all at once.Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may get for a vacation.21.The government of the United States makes it a rule for workers to have __________ weekends.A.5-dayB.2-dayC.3-dayD.4-day 22.Workers in the United States sometimes work from __________.A.MondayB.Saturday to Monday C.Thursday to FridayD.Tuesday to Friday 23.Which statement is wrong according to this passage?

25.Which is the best title for this passage? A.Holidays in the United States B.Vacation in the United Staes C.How the Workers Spend Their Holidays D.Something about the Holidays and Vacation in the U.S.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage The Industrial Revolution in Britain first began in the textile industry.England had been a major producer of wool for centuries.Ever since the enclosures, wool and then woolen cloth had been the principal exports of England.And cloth-making, though a domestic industry in the early years, had the characteristic of captalist production which separated the employer from the employee and introduced the division of labour, such as carding, spinning, weaving, fulling and dyeing.With the expansion of market, the demand for cloth also increased.But a spinner with a distaff could only make one thread at a time.The short supply of yarn became the main obstacle to mass production of cloth.The general effort to improve thread-making techniques led to the invention of spinning Jenny in 1764, by the English spinner Hargreaves.The new instrument enabled a singly workman to spin eight or ten threads at once.A year later, Richard Arkwright, a barber, patented a device for drawing out thread by means of rollers.Then in 1779, Samual Crompton drew on these two new devices and invented a new kind of spinning machine known as the mule.It greatly accelerated the speed of production and improved the quality of thread.Then Arkwright established a great factory by applying power-driven mules and became known as Father of Factory System in England.By the end of the 18th Century, power-driven machines spinning two hundred threads simultaneously had been introduced in production.

26.What was the most important export of England before the revolution? A.Wool cloth.B.Wool and woolen cloth.

C.Spinning machines.D.Power-driven machines.

【試題分析】此題為語法題，考查“as倒裝句型”。

【詳細解答】由于此處缺狀語，故D的語序不對。A缺少連詞。C項as引導原因狀語從句，與主句意義正好相反。B項為讓步狀語從句，把被強調部分放在句首，此處as可用though來代替。如：Child though he is, he knows much about physics.雖然他還只是個孩子，他對物理學了解得不少。6.【答案】B。

【參考譯文】我只希望回家。

【試題分析】此題為語法題，考查介詞but后的動詞形式

15.【答案】A。
