考研考博-考博英语-中国政法大学模拟考试题含答案1. 单选题The human nose is an underrated tool. Humans are often thought to be insensitive smelters compared with animals, 21 this is largely because, 22 animals, we stand upright. This means that our noses are 23 to perceiving those smells which float through the air, 24_ the majority of smells which stick to surfaces. In fact, _25_, we are extremely sensitive to smells, _26 we do not generally realize it. Our noses are capable of 27 human smells even when these are 28 to far below one part in one million.Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, _ 29_ others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generate 30 smell receptors in the nose, These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send 31 to the brain, However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell 32 can suddenly become sensitive to it when 33 to it often enough.The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that brain finds it 34 to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can 35 new receptors if necessary. This may _36_ explain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smellswe simply do not need to be. We are not 37 of the usual smell of our own house but we 38 new smells when we visit someone elses. The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors 39 for unfamiliar and emergency signals _40_ the smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.问题1选项A.althoughB.asC.butD.while问题2选项A.aboveB.unlikeC.excludingD.besides问题3选项A.limitedB.committedC.dedicatedD.confined问题4选项A.catchingB.ignoringC.missingD.tracking问题5选项A.anywayB.thoughC.insteadD.therefore问题6选项A.even

are often thought to be insensitive smellers compared with animals, this is largely because, animals, we stand upright.（与动物相比，人类常常被认为嗅觉不够敏锐，这主要原因是因为，动物，人类直立行走）可知，这里应该是转折的关系；but表示后面的内容是语句重心所在，While也可以表示对比、转折，但作为从属连词也有让步含义。从本题前后的语义关系来看，后半句语义应当是重心所在，因此正确答案为C。22.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考查语义衔接。A项above“在上面”，B项unlike“不像”，C项excluding“除之外”，D项besides“另外”；根据句子but this is largely because, animals, we stand right.（但是主要原因是因为，动物，人类直立行走）可知，人类不像动物一样，人类是直立行走的。因此正确答案为B。23.【试题答案】A【试题解析】考查语义衔接及词汇辨析。A项limited“限制的”，be limited to被限制在（指能力的缺点，弱点）；B项committed“坚定的，效忠的”，be committed to 致力于；C项dedicated“专注的，献身的”，be dedicated to 献身于，从事于；D项confined“有限制的，封闭的”，be confined to 限制在，局限于（某地或某种境地）；根据句子This means that our noses are to perceiving those smells which float through the air.（这意味着我们的鼻子闻到漂浮在空气中的气味）可知，我们的鼻子只能感知飘在空气中的气味。B、C错误，D项不符合语义。因此正确答案为A。24.【试题答案】C【试题解析】考查语义衔接。A项catching“抓住”，B项ignoring“忽视”，C项missing“错过”，D项tracking“跟踪，追溯”；根据句子This means that our noses are limited to perceiving those smells which float through the air, the majority of smells which stick to surfaces.（.这意味着我们的鼻子只能闻到漂浮在空气中的气味，附着于地表的大多数气味）可知，我们的鼻子只能闻到浮在空气中的气味，对于大部分停留在表面的气味是闻不到的。首先可以排除A、D项，ignore含有“有意不”的意思，显然不符合语境。因此正确答案为C。25.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考查逻辑衔接。A项anyway“不管怎样”（表示让步），B项though“尽管”（表示让步或转折），C项instead“相反，然而”，D项therefore“因此”（表示结果）；根据句子In fact, we are extremely sensitive to smells, we do not generally realize it（事实上，我们对气味非常敏感，我们通常没有注意到这一点）可知，本句中的in fact提示了转折关系，因此要选择表示转折的逻辑关系词。四个选项中，只有though能与in fact连用表示转折；因此正确答案为B。26.【试题答案】A【试题解析】考查逻辑衔接。A项even if“即使”（表示让步），B项if only“但愿”（后常接虚拟语气，表示愿望），C项only if“如果”（用于表达条件关系，only表强调），D项as if“似乎”（用于表达比较关系）；根据句子In fact, though we are extremely sensitive to smells, we do not generally realize it（事实上，我们对气味非常敏感，我们通常没有注意到这一点）可知，四个选项中只有A项even if用于表达让步关系；因此正确答案为A。27.【试题答案】D【试题解析】考查语义衔接和词汇辨析。A项distinguish“区别”，B项discover“发现”（原先没看见或不知道的事物），C项determine“决定”，D项detect“察觉，发现”（尤指发现有意隐藏之物）；根据句子Our noses are capable ofhuman smells（我们的鼻子能人的气味）可知，我们的鼻子能察觉（引申为闻到）人的气味；因此正确答案为D。28.【试题答案】A【试题解析】考查语义衔接和词汇辨析。A项diluted“稀释的（可指液体或气体的稀释）”，B项dissolved“溶解（通常指固体溶解为液体）”，C项dispersed“散开”，D项diffused“扩散，弥漫”；根据句子Our noses are capable of detecting human smells even when these areto far below one part in one million.（我们的鼻子能够闻到人的气味，即使这些气味被到百万分之一）可知，气味应该是被稀释或冲淡到百万分之一；因此正确答案为A。29.【试题答案】D【试题解析】考查逻辑衔接。A项when“何时”，B项since“自从”，C项for“为”，D项whereas“然而，鉴于”；根据句子Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers（奇怪的是，有些人发现他们能闻到一种花却闻不到另一种，其他人对两种花的气味都很敏感）可知，此处显然构成一种对比关系，只有whereas能用于引导表示转折关系的并列句。因此正确答案为D。30.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考查词汇辨析。A项unusual“不寻常的”，B项particular“特别的”（强调某一个体或某一集团所独有的），C项unique“独特的”（强调独一无二的），D项typical“典型的”；根据句子This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generatesmell receptors in the nose.（这可能是因为有些人没有可以在鼻子里产生嗅觉感受器所必需的基因）可知，此处应该表示特别的嗅觉感受器；因此正确答案为B。31.【试题答案】C【试题解析】考查语义衔接。A项sign“标记”，B项stimuli“刺激”，C项message“信号”，D项impulse“冲动，推动”；根据句子These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send to the brain.（这些感知器就是细胞，它们能够感知气味，并且向大脑传递）可知，细胞在这里传递的是信息；因此正确答案为C。32.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考查语义衔接。A项at first“起初”，B项at all“完全，根本”，C项at large“全面地，详细地”，D项at times“有时”；根据句子However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smellcan suddenly become sensitive to it（然而，研究发现，甚至对某种特定气味不敏感的人也能突然变得敏感起来）可知，这里是缺少一个状语修饰整个句子；根据句意B选项最符合。33.【试题答案】D【试题解析】考查语义衔接。A项subjected“使遭受”，be subjected to 表示遭受，屈服于；B项left“剩下的”，be left to表被留给；C项drawn“拔，拉出”，be drawn to表被拖到；D项exposed“暴露”，be exposed to表暴露在（经常接触）；根据句子even people insensitive to a certain smell at all can suddenly become sensitive to it whento it often enough（当经常这种气味，即使是对某种气味完全不敏感的人也会突然变得敏感）可知，语境表达的是人处于某种气味所笼罩的环境中。因此正确答案为D。34.【试题答案】C【试题解析】考查语义衔接和词汇辨析。A项ineffective“无效的，失效的”，B项incompetent“无能力的”，C项inefficient“效率低的”，D项insufficient“不充分的”；根据句子The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that brain finds itto keep all smell receptors working all the time（对嗅觉不敏感的解释似乎是大脑发现它让所有的嗅觉感受器一直工作）可知，根据语境，这里应该是说大脑发现让所有的气味感知器一直处于工作状态是效率低的。因此正确答案为C。35.【试题答案】D【试题解析】考查语义衔接和词汇辨析。A项introduce“介绍”，B项summon“召集，召唤”，C项trigger“触发，引起”，D项create“创造”；根据句子The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that brain finds it incompetent to keep all smell receptors working all the time but cannew receptors if necessary.（关于鼻子对气味不敏感的解释是大脑发现让所有的气味感知器一直处于工作状态是效率低的，但是如有需要又可以新的气味感知器）可知，从空格后面的new来判断，只有create才符合逻辑。因此正确答案为D。36.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考查逻辑衔接。A项still“仍然”，B项also“也”，C项otherwise“否则”，D项nevertheless“然而，虽然如此”；根据句子This mayexplain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smellswe simply do not need to be.（这或许解释为什么我们通常对自己的气味不敏感-我们根本不需要对自己的气味敏感），“this”这个词表明了逻辑关系应该是并列，翻译成“也”，表示和前面的句子是相同或者相近的含义，因此正确答案为B。37.【试题答案】C【试题解析】考查语义衔接。A项sure“确信”，B项sick“厌恶”，C项aware“意识到，知道”，D项tired“厌倦”；根据句子We are notof the usual smell of our own house（我们没有自己家里平常的气味），可知，这里应该是表示闻到/知道自己家的气味，因此根据句意，正确答案为C。38.【试题答案】D【试题解析】考查语义衔接。A项tolerate“忍受”，B项repel“抵制”，C项neglect“忽视”，D项notice“注意到”；根据句子We are not aware of the usual smell of our own house but wenew smells when we visit someone elses.（我们意识不到自己家里的平常的气味，但是在拜访别人家时，我们新的气味），可知，这里应该是闻到新的气味，因此根据句意，正确答案为D。39.【试题答案】A【试题解析】考查语义衔接。A项available“可达到的，可工作的”，B项reliable“可靠的”，C项identifiable“可辨认的”，D项suitable“适合的”；根据句子The brain finds it best to keep smell receptorsfor unfamiliar and emergency signals（大脑发现最好让嗅觉感受器保持来接收陌生和紧急信号）和前一句 “我们意识不到自己家里的平常的气味”可知，这里应该是表示“最好使气味感知器随时接受不熟悉和紧急信号”，因此根据句意，正确答案为A。40.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考查语义衔接。A项similar to“相似于”，B项such as“例如”，C项along with“和一起”，D项aside from“除之外”；根据句子The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors available for unfamiliar and emergency signalsthe smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.（大脑发现自己最使气味感知器随时接受不熟悉的和紧急的信号，预示火的危险的烟的气味）句意可知，这里需要填表示列举意义的短语，因此正确答案为B。2. 单选题She asked him what he thought of her _ dress.问题1选项A.green pretty littleB.little green prettyC.pretty little greenD.pretty green little【答案】C【解析】考查形容词的顺序问题。出现多个形容词修饰一个名词，顺序是：限定描绘大长高，形状年龄和新老；颜色国籍跟材料，作用类别往后靠。按此规律，pretty属于限定词，little是描述大小，green描述颜色，故C项正确。句意：她问他这件漂亮的绿色小连衣裙怎么样。故正确答案为C。3. 单选题Habits can be consciously strengthened, as when a student of the violin practices and memorizes different fingerings.问题1选项A.convenientlyB.lastinglyC.intentionallyD.robustly【答案】C【解析】考查副词辨析。consciously表示“自觉地，有意识的”。A项conveniently“便利地，合宜地”，B项lastingly“持续地”，C项intentionally“故意地，有意地”，D项robustly“粗鲁地，坚定地”。句意：习惯可以有意识地加强，就像一个学小提琴的学生练习和记忆不同的指法一样。根据题意该题选C。4. 单选题Viewing your account balances any time you want, you can transfer money accounts at your convenience.问题1选项A.toB.betweenC.fromD.with【答案】B【解析】考查介词用法。A项to“向”，B项between“在之间”，C项from“从，来自”，D项with“和”；句意：任何时候您都可以查看您的账户余额，也可以方便的时候在账户间相互转账。transfer一般是指两个事物之间的转移，所以B选项符合题意。5. 单选题Critics of early schooling cite research that questions whether 4-year-old children are ready to take on formal learning. Educators find that 21 toddlers are more likely to succeed during their school careers, 22 their younger counterparts are more likely to _23 _. Kindergarten children who turn five during the 24 half of the year seem to be at a disadvantage when it 25 physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development. Additionally, children who are nearly six when they enter kindergarten 26 to receive better grades and score higher on achievement 27 throughout their schooling experience 28 do those who begin kindergarten having just turned five. Being bright and verbally skillful and being ready for school do not seem to be the 29 thing. It is easy to confuse the superficial poise and sophistication of many of todays children 30 inner maturity. Indeed, evidence suggests that early schooling boomerangs: Youngsters 31 parents push them to attain academic success in preschool axe less creative, have 32 anxiety about tests, and, by the end of kindergarten, fail to maintain their initial academic advantage 33 their less-pressured peers.Many psychologists and educators remain skeptical of approaches that place 4-year-olds in a formal educational setting. They question 34 environmental enrichment can significantly alter the built-in development timetable of a child reared in a non disadvantaged home. They do not deny, however, the 35 of day-care centers and nursery schools that provide a homelike environment and allow children 36 freedom to play, develop at their own 37_, and evolve their social skills. But they point out that many of the things children once did in first grade are now 38 of them in kindergarten, and they worry lest more and more will now be asked of 4-year-olds, There psychologists and educators believe we are driving young children too 39 and thereby depriving them of their 40_.问题1选项A.olderB.tallerC.strongerD.smarter问题2选项A.sinceB.now thatC.therebyD.whereas问题3选项A.fallB.failC.fleeD.fear问题4选项A.lateB.laterC.latestD.latter问题5选项A.lies inB.deals withC.comes toD.calls for问题6选项A.helpB.wantC.tendD.prefer问题7选项A.testsB.trialsC.performanceD.competition问题8选项A.thatB.whichC.thenD.than问题9选项A.easyB.hardC.sameD.similar问题10选项A.forB.againstC.withD.towards问题11选项A.andB.withC.thoseD.whose问题12选项A.muchB.moreC.manyD.most问题13选项A.toB.againstC.overD.than问题14选项A.howB.thatC.whyD.whether问题15选项A.valueB.powerC.considerationD.responsibility问题16选项A.possibleB.reasonableC.imaginableD.considerable问题17选项A.wayB.caseC.paceD.means问题18选项A.thoughtB.remindedC.expectedD.regarded问题19选项A.wellB.hardC.badlyD.directly问题20选项A.memoryB.childhoodC.ambitionsD.simplicity【答案】第1题:A第2题:D第3题:B第4题:B第5题:C第6题:C第7题:A第8题:D第9题:C第10题:C第11题:D第12题:B第13题:C第14题:D第15题:A第16题:A第17题:A第18题:C第19题:B第20题:B【解析】21.【试题答案】A【试题解析】考查上下文。A项older“更年长的”，B项taller“更高的”，C项stronger“更强壮的”，D项smarter“更聪明的”。根据后文中的their younger counterparts可以知道这里是一个对比，所以我们应该填入一个和younger做对比的词语，A项最符合。句意：教育家们发现，年龄较大的学步儿童更有可能在他们的学校生涯中取得成功。故选择A正确。22.【试题答案】D【试题解析】考查语义。A项since“自从”，B项now that“既然，由于”，C项thereby“从而，因此”，D项whereas“然而，鉴于”。根据句子Educators find that older toddlers are more likely to succeed during their school careers, their younger counterparts are more likely to（教育家们发现，年龄较大的学步儿童更有可能在他们的学校生涯中取得成功，他们的年轻同龄人则更有可能）可知，此处需要一个表示转折的连词，A、B、C选项都是表示因果的，故选择D正确。23.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考查语义。A项fall“摔倒”，B项fail“失败”，C项flee“逃走，消失”，D项fear“恐惧，害怕”。根据句子Educators find that older toddlers are more likely to succeed during their school careers, whereas their younger counterparts are more likely to（教育家们发现，年龄较大的学步儿童更有可能在他们的学校生涯中取得成功，然而他们的年轻同龄人则更有可能）可知，年纪大一点的孩子更容易取得更好的成绩，那也就是说年纪稍小的容易出错或失败，故选择B正确。24.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考查固定搭配。A项late“迟，晚”，B项later“随后”，C项latest“最近的，最新的”，D项latter“后者的，近来的”。根据句子Kindergarten children who turn five during thehalf of the year seem to be at a disadvantage（在今年半年满5岁的幼儿园孩子似乎处于不利地位）可知根据句子的意思，我们知道这里要说的是下半年出生的孩子不占优势，在英文中下半年的表达是固定的，即the later half of the year，也可以用second half来表示下半年。故选择B正确。25.【试题答案】C【试题解析】考查语义。A项lie in“存在于”，B项deal with“处理”，C项come to“想起，共计，达到”，D项call for“要求，需要”。根据句子Kindergarten children who turn five during the later half of the year seem to be at a disadvantage when itphysical, emotional, social, and intellectual development.（在今年下半年满5岁的幼儿园孩子身体、情感、社交和智力发展方面似乎处于不利地位）可知空格应该填入表达“在，到”的词语，四个选项只有C项符合题意。故选择C正确。26.【试题答案】C【试题解析】考查逻辑。A项help“帮助”，B项want“想要”，C项tend“趋向”，D项prefer“更喜欢”。根据句子Additionally, children who are nearly six when they enter kindergarten to receive better grades and score higher（此外，接近6岁时进入幼儿园的孩子获得更好的成绩，取得更高的成绩）可知快6岁才上幼儿园的孩子更容易取得好的成绩；这是一个客观趋势，而非孩子的主观意愿，所以不能选择A项，B项和D项；tend to有“倾向于，易于做某事”的意思，符合上下文语义。故选择C正确。27.【试题答案】A【试题解析】考查固定搭配。A项test“测试”，B项trial“试验，磨练”，C项performance“表现”，D项competition“竞赛，比赛”。根据句子Additionally, children who are nearly six when they enter kindergarten to receive better grades and score higher（此外，进入幼儿园时接近6岁的孩子往往成绩更好，在成就中也取得更高的分数），achievement test固定搭配，表示“成就测试”；故选择A正确。28.【试题答案】D【试题解析】考查逻辑。这里由于修饰those的定语从句who begin kindergarten having just turned five太长，所以文章将动词do提前，而将发出动作的those及从句置后，这是一个倒装句式。所以根据前后文children who are nearly six when they enter kindergarten tend to receive better grades and score higher on achievement tests throughout their schooling experiencedo those who begin kindergarten having just turned five（进入幼儿园时接近6岁的孩子和那些刚满5岁就上幼儿园的孩子，6岁的孩子往往成绩更好，在成就测试中也取得更高的分数）我们可知，刚满5岁的孩子在各方面表现上可能相对年纪大一点的孩子要差一点，所以这里需要一个表示对比的介词，只有D项符合；A项和B项用来引导从句；C项连词；故选择D正确。29.【试题答案】C【试题解析】考查上下文语义。A项easy“容易的”，B项hard“硬的，困难的”，C项same“同样的”，D项similar“相似的”。根据句子Being bright and verbally skillful and being ready for school do not seem to be thething. It is easy to confuse the superficial poise and sophistication of many of todays children（聪明、语言熟练和准备好上学似乎不是事；人们很容易混淆当今许多孩子内心的成熟老练）可知，这里应该是说孩子外在表现地聪明，能说会道与内在实际适合上学并不是同一件事；故选择C正确。30.【试题答案】C【试题解析】考查固定搭配。A项for“对于”，B项against“反对，针对”，C项with“和”，D项towards“朝，向”。根据上下文我们知道，我们很容易将当今孩子外表所表现出来的镇静和世故与孩子内心的成熟度相混淆。此处考查的是confuse sth. with sth.固定搭配，所以这里的介词要选择with；故选择C正确。31.【试题答案】D【试题解析】考查定语从句。A项and“和”表并列，B项with“和”表伴随，C项those“这些”，D项whose“谁的”。根据Youngstersparents push them to attain academic success in preschool axe less creative（那些被父母逼着在学前班就取得学业成就的孩子们，往往缺乏创造力）可知，Youngsters和parents push them to attain academic success的关系是后面的作为定语修饰前面的youngster，所以要选择whose来引导定语从句；故选择D正确。32.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考查上下文语义。A项much“大量”修饰不可数；B项more“更多”，用于比较级；C项many“许多”；D项most“最多”，用于最高级。根据Youngsters whose parents push them to attain academic success in preschool axe less creative, haveanxiety about tests（那些被父母逼着在学前班就取得学业成就的孩子们，往往缺乏创造力，对考试焦虑）可知，根据前文的less（更少）可知，这里是一个比较级；根据句意，被父母逼着在学前班就取得学业成就的孩子们更缺少创新，更容易对考试焦虑；故选择B正确。33.【试题答案】C【试题解析】考查句意。A项to“朝，对于”；B项against“针对，敌对”；C项over“在之上，越过”；D项than“比”。根据fail to maintain their initial academic advantagetheir less-pressured peers（没有保持他们最初的学术优势他们压力较小的同龄人）可知，根据前文的less（更少）可知，压力大的孩子比压力小的孩子更容易无法维持他们的学习成绩，所以这里有一个比较的意思；A项没有对比的含义，所以排除；B项表示针对，不适合；C项可引申为可引中为多于的意思；D项只是表达比较，没有倾向性；故选择C正确。34.【试题答案】D【试题解析】考查上下文语义和语法。根据Many psychologists and educators remain skeptical of approaches that place 4-year-olds in a formal educational setting. They questionenvironmental enrichment can significantly alter the built-in development timetable of a child reared in a non disadvantaged home.（许多心理学家和教育家对将4岁的孩子置于正式教育环境中的方法持怀疑态度。他们质疑环境的丰富可以显著改变一个在非弱势家庭中长大的孩子的内在发展时间表）可知，question这里是一个动词，后面应该接宾语从句，A项表示专家们怀疑的是外在富裕环境如何改变孩子；B项表示对整个观点都怀疑，一般是否定倾向的；C项表示为什么外在富裕的环境能够改变孩子，是追究原因；D项表示怀疑外在富裕的环境能否改变孩子。结合全文可知这里更多只是表示专家怀疑是否能改变，而不是追求背后的原因，改变的方式或否定这个观点。故选择D正确。35.【试题答案】A【试题解析】考查句意。A项value“价值”；B项power“力量”；C项consideration“考虑”；D项responsibility“责任”。根据They do not deny, however, theof day-care centers and nursery schools that provide a homelike environment（然而，他们并不否认日托中心和幼儿园所提供的像家一样的环境的）可知，此处应该表示“价值”。故选择A正确。36.【试题答案】A【试题解析】考查句意。A项possible“可能的”；B项reasonable“理性的”；C项imaginable“想象力的”；D项considerable“相当大的，重要的”。根据allow childrenfreedom to play（允许孩子们自由去玩耍）可知，此处应该表示给孩子们尽可能的自由。故选择A正确。37.【试题答案】A【试题解析】考查固定搭配。A项way“方法”；B项case“案件”；C项pace“步伐”；D项means“意味着，手段”。根据develop at their ownand evolve their social skills（发展他们自己的，发展他们的社交技能）可知，此处应该表示按照自己的方式来进行发展。at ones way表示“根据某人自己的方式”；at ones case表示“根据某人的状况”；at ones pace 表示“根据自己的速度，步伐”；at ones means表示“根据某人的手段”。故选择A正确。38.【试题答案】C【试题解析】考查语义。A项think“思考”；B项remind“提醒”；C项expect“期望”；D项regard“看待”。根据But they point out that many of the things children once did in first grade are nowof them in kindergarten（但是他们指出，孩子们曾经在一年级做的很多事情现在都在幼儿园做）可知，此处表达期望的意思；故选择C正确。39.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考查语义。A项well“充分地”；B项hard“艰难地，严厉地”；C项badly“坏地”；D项directly“直接地”。根据There psychologists and educators believe we are driving young children too（心理学家和教育家认为我们对孩子的要求）可知，此处表达对孩子的要求越来越高，所以让孩子们感到难度很大；C项表示过于要求孩子们，有伤害到了孩子的意思；B项相对中性，表达的是过多的要求孩子们。故选择B正确。40.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考查语义和上下文逻辑。A项memory“记忆”；B项childhood“童年”；C项ambition“野心”；D项simplicity“天真，愚蠢”。根据There psychologists and educators believe we are driving young children too hard and thereby depriving them of their（心理学家和教育家认为，我们对孩子们的要求太高，从而剥夺了他们的）可知，此处表达变相的剥夺了本该属于孩子们的童年；故选择B正确。6. 单选题Parole is usually granted to prisoners as a reward for good conduct.问题1选项A.paid toB.ignored byC.given toD.requested by【答案】C【解析】考查词组辨析。grant to表示“授予，允许”；A项pay to“付款给”，B项ignore by“忽视，驳回诉讼”，C项give to“给予，提供”，D项request by“请求，需要”。句意：假释通常作为奖励给予表现良好的囚犯。根据句意该题选C。7. 单选题When people speak of solar energy, they think only of the suns rays heating a home or _ electricity from the sun.问题1选项A.deriveB.of derivingC.derivingD.to derive【答案】C【解析】考查语法。Think of后面应该接名词或者动名词，故排除A、B、D项，只有C项正确。句意：当人们谈到太阳能时，他们想
