文章首段主题句叙述到By 1830 the former Spanish and Portuguese colonies had become independent nations. 到1830,前西班牙和葡萄牙殖民地解放,宣告成为独立国家。 本文的中心思想为 前西班牙和葡萄牙殖民地解放以及面对的问题。

1.[A]natives [B]inhabitants [C]peoples [D]individuals
2.[A]confusedly[B]cheerfully [C]worriedly [D]hopefully
1. 语意辨析题 本题目选择名词,在句子中充当主语。句子叙述到The roughly 20 million of these nations looked to the future. “这些国家大概有2000万„对未来„。” 选项A. natives 本地人;
B. inhabitant居民;
C. peoples 民族;
D. individuals个体。
不难发现,选项A. natives 本地人,“这些国家大概有2000万本地人„”,符合句子含义;选项B. inhabitant居民,“这些国家大概有2000万居民„”,符合句子含义;选项C. peoples 民族,“这些国家大概有2000万个民族”,显然有悖于常理,不符合句子含义;选项D. individuals个体,“这些国家大概有2000万个体„”,不符合句子含义,个体一般用于区分于集体时使用。选项A和B都可以在句子中做主语,确定该题目为语意辨析题。前面相邻语句(或文章中心思想)叙述到“By 1830 the former Spanish and Portuguese colonies had become independent nations. 到1830,前西班牙和葡萄牙殖民地解放,宣告成为独立国家。”本句解释了这些居住在摆脱殖民地地位而独立的国家的人们对于未来的态度。因此,正确答案为B。
2. 语意辨析题 本题目选择副词,在句子中做状语。句子叙述到The roughly 20 million inhabitants of these nations looked to the future. “这些国家大概有2000万居民对未来„。” 选项A. confusedly困惑地;
B. cheerfully 高兴的;
C. worried 担心的;
D. hopefully 充满期待地。
不难发现,选项A. confusedly困惑地,“这些国家大概有2000万居民对未来感到困惑”,符合句子含义;选项B. cheerfully 高兴的,“这些国家大概有2000万居民对未来感到高兴”,符合句子含义;选项C. worried 担心的,“这些国家大概有2000万居民对未来感到担心”,符合句子含义;选项D. hopefully 充满期待地,“这些国家大概有2000万居民对未来充满期待”,符合句子含义。四个选项似乎在单个句子中都合理通顺,确定该题目为语意辨析题。前面相邻语句(或文章中心思想)叙述到“By 1830 the former Spanish and Portuguese colonies had become independent nations. 到1830,前西班牙和葡萄牙殖民地解放,宣告成为独立国家。”本句解释了这些居住在摆脱殖民地地位而独立的国家的人们对于未来的态度。既然独
立,当让是充满希望的。因此正确答案D。
Born in the crisis of the old regime and Iberian Colonialism, many of the leaders of independence 3 the ideas of representative government, careers 4 to talent, freedom of commerce and trade, the 5 to private property, and a belief in the individual as the basis of society.
3.[A]shared [B]forgot [C]attained [D]rejected
4.[A]related [B]close [C]open [D]devoted
5.[A]access [B]succession [C]right [D]return
3. 词汇辨析题 本句子选择动词,在句子中充当谓语动词。句子叙述到many of the leaders of independence the ideas of representative government “许多独立国家的领导人都„议会政府。”
选项A. shared 共有;
B. forgot 忘记;
C. attained 获得;
D. rejected 拒绝.。
不难发现,文章中心思想叙述到“By 1830 the former Spanish and Portuguese colonies had become independent nations. 到1830,前西班牙和葡萄牙殖民地解放,宣告成为独立国家。”既然是独立的国家,那么新的国家领导人们应该推崇一种公平的政治举措。对于,当时比较先进而且民主的“议会制度”当然应该是全力支持的。选项A. shared 共有,“许多独立国家的领导人都认同议会政府”,符合句子含义;选项B. forgot 忘记,“许多独立国家的领导人都忘记了议会政府”,不符合句子含义;选项C. attained 获得,“许多独立国家的领导人都获得了议会政府”,不符合句子含义,“attain 获得”一般是通过长期努力而获得什么物品,实现什么目标,不能表达为“获得议会政府”;选项D. rejected 拒绝,“许多独立国家的领导人都拒绝了议会政府”,不符合文章中心“国家独立”。因此,正确答案为A,许多独立国家领导人都认同议会政府。
4. 词汇辨析题 本题目选择形容词,在句子中体现前、后名词之间的关系。句子叙述many of the leaders of independence shared the ideas of representative government, careers ____to talent, freedom of commerce and trade,„ “许多独立国家领导人都认同议会政府,职业„于人才,商业和贸易自由„。”显然,短语“careers ____to talent”、短语“freedom of commerce and trade”等都是与“认同议会政府”相并列的独立国家领导人们新政的民主政策。应该充分体现独立和民主。
选项A. related 相关的;
B. close 接近的;
C. open 开着的;
D. devoted 投入的.
不难发现,选项A. related 相关的,“职业相关于人才”,不符合句子含义;选项B. close 接近的,“职业接近于人才”,不符合句子含义;选项C. open 开着的,“职业对于人才开放”,符合文章中心同时也符合句子含义;选项D. devoted 投入的,“职业投入于人才”,这种表达错误,应该是“人才投入与工作”才是正确的语句表达。职业对人才开放才符合文章“独立”这一中心。因此,正确答案为C。
5. 词汇辨析题 本题目选择名词,在句子中体现句子内容的连贯性。句子叙述到many of the leaders of independence shared the ideas of representative government, careers open to talent, freedom of commerce and trade, the___ to private property, and a belief in the individual as the basis of society. “许多独立国家的领导人都认同议会政府,认为职业应该向人才开放,认可商业贸易自由,认可私有财产的„,认为个人是社会的基础。
选项A. access to 接近;
B. succession to 继承;
C. right to „的权利;
D. return to 返回。
不难发现,从前面的“议会制政府”,“向人才开放的职业”,“商业和贸易自由”可以看出这里提到的是推动国家进步和发展,充分调动人们积极性的另一个理念“人们对私有财产的所有权”,故此处选择right。因此,正确答案为C。
6 there was a belief that the new nations should be sovereign and independent states, large enough to be economically viable and integrated by a 7 set of 1aws.
6.[A]Presumably[B]Incidentally[C]Obviously [D]Generally
7.[A]unique [B]common [C]particular [D]typical
6. 逻辑关系题 本题目选择副词,体现前、后两个句子之间的逻辑关系。句子叙述到 there was a belief that the new nations should be sovereign and independent states, “有一种„的信念,新独立的国家应该是自治并且独立的国家。” 选择逻辑关系词,相关联的两个句子提供信息决定答案。
选项A. Presumably 大概的;
B. Incidentally 偶然的;
C. Obviously 显然的;
D. Generally 普遍的。
不难发现,前面的句子叙述到“many of the leaders of independence shared the ideas of representative government, careers open to talent, freedom of commerce and trade, the right to private property, and a belief in the individual as the basis of society. “许多独立国家的领导人都认同议会政府,认为职业应该向人才开放,认可商业贸易自由,认可私有财产的„,认为个人是社会的基础。” 该句与后面的句子没有任何内容相反或转折的信号词,可以判断两个句子是顺接关系,后面承接上一句内容而来,继续介绍新的独立国家领导人都认同的理念。因此,正确答案为D。
7. 词汇辨析题 本题目选择形容词,在句子中充当定语。句子叙述到Generally there was a belief that the new nations should be sovereign and independent states, large enough to be economically viable and integrated by a set of 1aws. “有一种普遍接受的信念,新独立的国家应该是自治并且独立的国家, 要足够大并且能够在经济上运行良好,通过一套„的法律将各个新独立的国家联合”。
选项A. unique唯一的;
B. common普通的;
C. particular 特殊的;
D. typical 典型的。
不难发现,想要“联合各个国家”只有通过共同接受的法律才能够实现。选项A. unique唯一的,体现与众不同,标新立异与 “联合国家”没有关联;选项B. common普通的,共同的,“通过共同接受的法律将各个新独立的国家联合”,符合句子含义;选项C. particular 特殊的,体现自身特点“异于常规”,不符合句子含义;选项D. typical典型的,指具有既定特点的,不符合句子含义。因此,正确答案为B。
On the issue of 8 of religion and the position of the Church, 9 there was less agreement 10 the leadership.
8.[A]freedom [B]origin [C]impact [D]reform
9.[A]therefore [B]however [C]indeed [D]moreover
10.[A]with [B]about [C]among [D]by
8.语意辨析题 本题目选择名词,在句子中做宾语。句子叙述到On the issue of of religion and the position of the Church„。“关于宗教的„和教会地位的问题„。”
选项A. freedom自由;
B. origin 起源;
C. impact 影响;
D. reform 改革。
不难发现,选项A. freedom of religion“宗教信仰自由”,符合短语表达;选项B. origin of religion “宗教的起源”,符合短语表达;选项C. impact of religion “宗教的影响”,符合短语表达;选项D. reform of religion “宗教改革”,符合短语表达。显然,四个选项在句子中似乎都合理,确定该题目为语意辨析题。由于前文叙述内容未涉及宗教,所以信息在后文。.(完成下面题目发现,罗马天主教是西班牙国教,是西班牙王室唯一认可的宗教。多数领导人致力于保留天主教为新国家的官方宗教;而另一些领导人致力于终结排斥其他宗教的状况。)显然,关于宗教信仰的自由问题产生分歧。因此,正确答案为A。
9. 逻辑关系题 本题目选择逻辑关系词,体现前后句子之间的逻辑关系。句子叙述到On the issue of freedom of religion and the position of the Church, there was less agreement „ 。“关于宗教信仰自由和教会地位的问题,各国领导人之间存在分歧。”
选项A. therefore 因此;
B. however 然而;
C. indeed的确;
D. moreover而且。
不难发现,第一段最后叙述到Generally there was a belief that the new nations should be sovereign and independent states, large enough to be economically viable and integrated by a set of 1aws. “有一种普遍接受的信念,新独立的国家应该是自治并且独立的国家, 要足够大并且能够在经济上运行良好,通过一套共同的法律将各个新独立的国家联合”,介绍了新成立的独立国家领导人之间在治国理念方面的共识。而随后的语句提到的是他们之间存在的分歧,显然两部分之间为转折关系。因此,正确答案为B。
10. 词汇辨析题 本题目选择介词,体现句子内容的范围。句子叙述到On the issue of freedom of religion and the position of the Church, however there was less agreement ___the leadership.“关于宗教信仰自由和教会地位的问题,各国领导人在主导地位...方面存在分歧。”选项A. with和„;
B. about 有关;
C. among 在„之中;
D. by通过。
不难发现,本句表明各国领导人之间在宗教问题方面不那么有默契了,among表示“在„„之间”,这里among the leadership表范围。其他几个介词与后面内容搭配作状语时,都不表示范围。因此,正确答案为C。
Roman Catholicism had been the state religion and the only one 11 by the Spanish crown.
11.[A]allowed [B]preached [C]granted [D]funded
11.词汇辨析题 本题目选择过去分词,修饰前面相邻的名词。句子叙述到Roman Catholicism had been the state religion and the only one by the Spanish crown. “罗马天主教过去是西班牙的国教,是西班牙王室唯一„的宗教。” 该过去分词短语修饰前面的“Roman Catholicism 罗马天主教”,体现出“Roman crown 罗马皇室”对于“罗马天主教”的态度。 选项A. allowed准许;

If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006’s World Cup tournament, you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than in the later months. If you then examined the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup and professional ranks, you would find this strange phenomenon to be even more pronounced.
What might account for this strange phenomenon? Here are a few guesses: a) certain astrological signs confer superior soccer skills; b) winter-born babies tend to have higher oxygen capacity, which increases soccer stamina; c) soccer-mad parents are more likely to conceive children in springtime, at the annual peak of soccer mania; d) none of the above.
Anders Ericsson, a 58-year-old psychology professor at Florida State University, says he believes strongly in “none of the above.” Ericsson grew up in Sweden, and studied nuclear engineering until he realized he would have more opportunity to conduct his own research if he switched to psychology. His first experiment, nearly 30 years ago, involved memory: training a person to hear and then repeat a random series of numbers. “With the first subject, after about 20 hours of training, his digit span had risen from 7 to 20,” Ericsson recalls. “He kept improving, and after about 200 hours of training he had risen to over 80 numbers.”
This success, coupled with later research showing that memory itself is not genetically determined, led Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one. In other words, whatever inborn differences two people may exhibit in their abilities to memorize, those differences are swamped by how well each person “encodes” the information. And the best way to learn how to encode information meaningfully, Ericsson determined, was a process known as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice entails more than simply repeating a task. Rather, it involves setting specific goals, obtaining immediate feedback and concentrating as much on technique as on outcome.
Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying expert performers in a wide range of pursuits, including soccer. They gather all the data they can, not just performance statistics and biographical details but also the results of their own laboratory experiments with high achievers. Their work makes a rather startling assertion: the trait we commonly call talent is highly overrated. Or, put another way, expert performers – whether in memory or surgery, ballet or computer programming – are nearly always made, not born.

1.[答案][B][分析]词义辨析题,A.natives本地人;B.inhabitant居民;C.peoples民族;D.individuals个体。本文首句指出:到了1830年,原来的西班牙和葡萄牙殖民地变成了独立国家。本句解释了这些居住在摆脱殖民地地位而独立的国家的人们对于未来的态度。这里的这里没有限定范围是“本地人”,也没有提及不同的民族,更没有强调个体差异,因此排除其他选项。www.shanpow.com_2007年考研英语一真题。
2.[答案][D][分析]词汇辨析题。A.confusedly困惑地;B.cheerfully高兴的;C.worried担心的;D.hopefully充满期待地从首句已知这些国家的居民摆脱了西班牙和葡萄牙的殖民统治,虽然文中没有提到独立的过程,但是历史告诉我们,殖民地人们要求独立的愿望是一直存在的,是迫切的,由此可以判断,成立独立国家是殖民地人们的愿望,因此居民们对未来充满了期待,故选择hopefully合适。
3.[答案][A][分析]逻辑关系题。A.shared共有;B.forgot忘记;C.attained获得;D.rejected拒绝。本题所在的句子介绍了这些新独立国家的领导人们的治国理念。首先提到了许多领导人们在治国理念中达成共识的部分,这由本句和下一句的内容及第二段首句中的less agreement得到印证,先指出领导人之间理念上的相同之处,再指出他们之间存在的分歧,shared the ideas符合上下文逻辑关系,故为答案。
4.[答案][C][分析]语义辨析题。A.related相关的;B.close接近的;
C.open开着的;D.devoted投入的。本句提到的新国家领导人共同的治国理念包括议会制政府等。由这里的representative government,freedom of commerce and trade可以看出,这些都是先进的民主的治国方略,故此处的careers应为“向人才开放的职业”,这样才能让人们人尽其才,发挥自己的作用。其他三项都可以与介词to搭配使用,但放在此外,不符合上下文语义衔接关系。 5.[答案][C][分析]语义辨析题。A.accessto接近;B.successionto继承;C.rightto的权利;D.returnto返回。从前面的“议会制政府”,“向人才开放的职业”,“商业和贸易自由”可以看出这里提到的是推动国家进步和发展,充分调动人们积极性的另一个理念“人们对私有财产的所有权”,故此处选择right.6.[答案][D][分析]词汇辨析题。A.Presumably大概的;B.Incidentally偶然的;C.Obviously显然的;D.Generally普遍的。因为这里没有表示与前一句内容相反或转折的信号词,可以判断本句承接上一句内容而来,继续介绍新的独立国家领导人都认同的理念。这里generally表示出后面内容是大家普遍的观点,符合这里的语义衔接关系,故为答案。
资料来源:中国教育在线 mon普通的;
C.particular特殊的;D.typical典型的本句意为:他们普遍认为新国家应该是独立的主权国家,足够大,能够在经济上切实可行,由一套共同法律让各个新的独立国家联合起来。句中提到integrate,既然是“联合”,各国应该遵循一套共同的法律,故common符合文意。
8.[答案][A][分析]语义辨析题。A.freedom自由;B.origin起源;C.impact影响;D.reform改革„„本句涉及到领导人对待宗教的态度。从后面的内容可以看出领导人对尊哪种宗教信仰一种宗教,而禁止人们信仰其他宗教产生分歧,因此可以看出这里谈论的是宗教自由和教会地位的问题,这里的freedom of religion和the position of the church为并列关系。
9.[答案][B][分析]逻辑关系题。A.therefore因此;B.however然而;
C.indeed的确;D.moreover而且。第一段最后两句介绍了新成立的独立国家领导人之间在治国理念方面的共识,这里提到的是他们之间存在的分歧,显然两部分之间为转折关系,故使用however.本题误选在于没有正确判断本句和前文之间的逻辑关系。
10.[答案][C][分析]词汇辨析题。A.with和„;B.about有关;C.among在„之中;D.by通过。本句表明各国领导人之间在宗教问题方面不那么有默契了,among表示“在„„之间”,这里among the leadersship表范围。其他几个介词与后面内容搭配作状语时,都不表示范围。11.[答案][C][分析]词汇辨析题。A.allowed准许;B.preached宣扬;C.granted承认;D.funded资助本句对首句内容进行解释说明,指出罗马天主教过去在西班牙的地位:是西班牙国教,是唯一得到西班牙王室承认的。由句中的only可判断,西班牙王室只承认罗马天主教。各个选项中只有grant有“承认”之意,故为答案。
12.[答案][D][分析]逻辑关系题。A.since因为;B.if如果;C.unless除非;D.while而。分析本句句意可以看出,前后两部分谈论的是领导人的两种不同观点:多数人致力于人保留天主教为新国家的官方宗教,一些领导人致力于终结不能有其他宗教信仰的状况。显然前后两部分之间存在对比关系,故使用While表示对比。本句前后两部分之间无假设关系和因果关系,因此排除其他选项。
13.[答案][A][分析]固定搭配题。A.as作为;B.for为了;C.under在„„之下;D.against反对。前一句提到罗马天主教为西班牙国教,本句承接前一句,指出大多数领导人希望保留天主教为官方宗教信仰,显然这里as the official religion of the newstates是方式状语,与maintain搭配使用,符合语意关系。
14.[答案][C][分析]词汇辨析题。A.spread传播;B.interference干涉;C.exclusion排除;D.promised承诺。本句提到一些领导人与众不同的观点:
资料来源:中国教育在线
结束不允许有其他宗教信仰的状况。可见,两拨人的观点截然不同,exclusion用在此处符合语境。这里使用spread,interference和influence与前面内容均不构成转折关系。
15.[答案][B][分析]固定搭配题。A.support支持;B.cry哭喊;C.plea恳请;D.wish希望。本句与前一句内容有隐含的因果关系,这是由于一些领导人主张允许信仰其他宗教,因此保卫教会成为保守势力的战斗口号。这里rallyingcry为固定搭配。
16.[答案][D][分析]固定搭配题。本句是对该段首句主题句的解释。从句中的inreturn可以看出,海地对玻利瓦尔的帮助并非无条件的,其条件就是后者承诺废除奴隶制度。这里promisetodosth.意为“答应做某事”。
17.[答案][B][分析]语义辨析题。A.controlling正在统治的;B.former原来的;C.remaining遗留的;D.original原始的。本句提到到1854年为止,其他地区都废除了了奴隶制,只剩余西班牙的某些殖民地。如果选择remaining,则这里意为“西班牙残存的殖民地”,显然与文章第一段提到的“到1830年,原来的西班牙和葡萄牙殖民地都变成了独立的国家”相矛盾,因为这些国家之前都已独立,因此应选[B],指西班牙的前殖民地国家。
18.[答案][A][分析]语义辨析题。A.slower较慢;B.faster较快;C.easier较容易;D.tougher较难。上文提到玻利瓦尔承诺废除奴隶制,到1854年除了前西班牙殖民地外,其他地区都已废除奴隶制,本题所在句子指出了与此相反的情况:由于新独立的国家仍然需要这些政策所带来的收入,因此,停止印地安人上贡和对混血人种征税的早期承诺实现得颇为···。根据上下文可知,此处是说这个承诺实现得缓慢,不像废除奴隶制那样快,因此,答案为[A]。
19.[答案][B][分析]词汇辩析题。A.created创建;B.produced产生,生产;C.contributed有助于;D.prefered更喜欢。本题所在部分意为“新国家仍然需要这些政策所带来的税收收入”,这些税收收入是这些policies带来的,这里使用produce意思相近,但后者有“产生,带来”之意,前者并无此意,排除。www.shanpow.com_2007年考研英语一真题。
20.[答案][D][分析]词汇辨析题。A.puzzledby困惑;B.hostileto敌对;C.pessimisticto悲观;D.unpreparedto未准备好。本段前文一直在提人人平等,最后一句指出一种担心情绪:大众未对自治和民主做好准备。由于新的独立国家的人们刚刚摆脱了殖民统治,因此人们还没有充分了解和熟悉自治和民主,这里使用unpreparedfor符合语境。
