试题答案
答案：B;A;B;D;C;A;B;C;B;D;A;C;A;B;C;C;A;D;B;C
解析：| 第1题，在美国一般不用old people指老人，而是要说：senior people，下文多次出现提示词senior citizens，因此选B。 第2题，that替代前文出现的有后置定语修饰的不可数名词life，为了避免重复。如：The population ofchina is larger than that (the population) of Japan．(中国的人口比日本的人口多。) 第3题，此句句意为“绝大多数的老年人退休了或不再全日制工作了”。60多岁的人肯定会是这样的。 第4题，also一词提示此句和前句一样包含否定含义。 第5题，下文讲述的是老年人生活中消极的一面。enjoyable意为“令人愉快的”。 第6题，老人在退休以后，他们会觉得他们的生活失去了意义。in addition意为“加之，除此之外”。他们还觉得寂寞。 第7题，feel lonely“感到孤独”，lonely孤独的，寂寞的，荒凉的，表示由于缺少朋友或友谊而感到孤独寂寞。alone独自一个人，单个的，指客观上只有一个人。 第8题，寂寞是因为远离家庭，也没有了与同事的交流沟通。communication指情况、消息、思想的交流和交换或指人在想法、感情等方面的清楚的表达或交往。relations亲戚，朋友，联系，关系或联络等。 第9题，moreover用来引入新内容以补充或支持前面的内容，意为“再说，此外，而且”，是副词。 第10题，此句是讲述老人在远离家人照顾的情况下，担心自身的健康和安全。 第1l题，other与上文的many相对而言。 第12题，句子后部分现出提示词were。be able to do sth．因为主语是they。 第13题，when引导时间状语从句说明be able to(do)的时间。 第14题，老年人在退休前不得不工作和养家。raise/support families意为“养家糊口”。grow长大，成长；bring带来；bring sb．up把某人养大。 第15题，hobbies与其后并列的sports and travel相一致，即都为enjoy sth．(从某事物中获得乐趣)结构。enjoy oneself玩得高兴。 第16题，下文出现提示词their larger numbers。the number of+名词复数：……的数量，作主语时，谓语动词用单数。a number of+名词复数：大量的……，做主语时，谓语动词用复数。如：A number of peoplewere injured in the accident．(在这场事故中有很多人受伤。)The number of the students in oar school is increasingeach year． (我们学校的学生数量每年都在增长。) 第17题，because of意为“因为”与because的用法不同。because后边接原因状语从句，because of后边接短语或词组。 第18题，此句句意为“因为老年人数量的增多和他们更积极的生活方式，老年人在这个国家中正逐步形成更大的社会影响力。”gain“获得”想要的或所需的东西。 第19题，may表示不十分肯定的推测。may／might／must／can都是情态动词，用来表示推测。may／might可能性比较小，理解为：也许，可能，或许；must的可能性比较大，理解为：肯定，一定，准是；Can在表示推测的时候，往往? 糜谝?问句和否定句中。 第20题，look forward to (doing) sth．意为“以愉快的心情期待，盼望某事物的到来或发生”。to是介词。如：He has been abroad for five years．He is looking forward to seeing his mother(他在国外呆了五年，他盼望着见到他妈妈。)
