考研考博-考博英语-沈阳药科大学模拟考试题含答案1. 单选题Mr. Greens sore arm is not a new development but the return of a _ ailment.问题1选项A.seriousB.disappearingC.frequentD.chronic【答案】D【解析】【选项释义】A. serious 严重的 B. disappearing 消失了的C. frequent 频繁的 D. chronic 慢性的；难以治愈（或根除）的【考查点】修饰语与被修饰语的搭配与语义衔接【解题思路】原文前半句提到“Green先生的胳膊酸痛不是什么新情况”，说明该句在讨论“胳膊酸痛”这种情况是否出现过，另外，空格处修饰的是后文ailment“小病”，与该词搭配最合适的是D选项chronic“慢性的；难以治愈（或根除）的”。【干扰项排除】A选项serious“严重的”，与原句句意衔接不当，原句并不是在讨论这个病是否严重；B选项disappearing“消失了的”，这种病不是完全消失了，它还在那里，只是没有发作而已，与原句句意衔接不当；C选项frequent“频繁的”，与ailment“小病”搭配不合适，没有D选项恰当。【句意】Green先生的胳膊酸痛不是什么新情况而是一种慢性病的复发。2. 单选题The argument concerning the use, or the status, or the reality of Black English is rooted in American history and has absolutely nothing to do with the question which the argument supposes itself to be posing. The argument has nothing to do with language itself but with the role of language. Language, incontestably, reveals the speaker. Language, also, far more dubiously, is meant to define the otherand, in this case, the other is refusing to be defined by a language that has never been able to recognize him.People evolve a language in order to describe and thus control their circumstances, or in order not to be submerged by a reality that they cannot articulate. (And, if they cannot articulate it, they are submerged.) A Frenchman living in Paris speaks a subtly and crucially different language from that of the man living in Marseilles; neither sounds very much like a man living in Quebec; and they would all have great difficulty in apprehending what the man from Guadeloupe, or Martinique, is saying, to say nothing of the man from Senegalalthough the “common” language of all these areas is French. But each has paid, and is paying, a different price for this “common” language, in which, as it turns out, they are not saying, and cannot be saying, the same things. They each have very different realities to articulate, or control.What joins all languages, and all men, is the necessity to confront life, in order, not inconceivably, to outwit death: The price for this is the acceptance, and achievement, of ones temporal identity. So that, for example, though it is not taught in the schools the south of France still clings to its ancient and musical Provencal, which resists being described as a “dialect”. And much of the tension in the Basque countries, and in Wales, is due to the Basque and Welsh determination not to allow their languages to be destroyed. This determination also feeds the flames in Ireland, for among the many indignities the Irish have been forced to undergo at English hands is the English contempt for their language.It goes without saying, then, that language is also a political instrument, means, and proof of power. It is the most vivid and crucial key to identity: it reveals the private identity, and connects one with, or divorces one from the larger public, or communal identity. There have been, and are, times and places, when to speak a certain language could be dangerous, even fatal. Or, one may speak the same language, but in such a way that ones antecedents are revealed, or (one hopes) hidden.16. According to the passage, language reveals the speaker in the way that _.17. Why does a Frenchman living in Paris has great difficulty in apprehending what the man from Guadeloupe, or Martinique, is saying?18. What does the example of Basque and Welsh illustrate?19. In some places, speaking a certain language may cause _.20. The text is primarily concerned with discussing _.问题1选项A.people who speak the same language share the same cultureB.a person is recognized by the language he speaksC.language is an effective means of communicationD.language affects the speakers circumstances问题2选项A.Because they pronounce many words differently.B.Because they live in different areas and seldom visit each other.C.Because they speak different varieties of a language and confront different realities.D.Because they have different articulation system.问题3选项A.Language reveals a nations or a communitys identity.B.Certain peoples contempt for a language may lead to racial conflicts.C.Language is a symbol of public existence.D.Basque people join up with Welsh people to fight for their language.问题4选项A.family divorceB.offence and hatredC.communal misunderstandingD.political disagreement问题5选项A.the use, status, and reality of Black EnglishB.the relationship between language and cultureC.language varietiesD.language, identity and nationality【答案】第1题:B第2题:C第3题:A第4题:B第5题:D【解析】16. 【选项释义】According to the passage, language reveals the speaker in the way that _. 根据文章，语言是以什么方式揭示使用这种语言的人的。A. people who speak the same language share the same culture A. 说同一种语言的人拥有相同的文化B. a person is recognized by the language he speaks B. 通过一个人说什么语言能识别出他的身份C. language is an effective means of communication C. 语言是一种有效的交际手段D. language affects the speakers circumstances D. 语言影响说话人所处的环境【考查点】推理判断题【解题思路】根据题干关键词language reveals the speaker定位到原文第1段第3句，该句提到“毫无疑问，语言揭示了使用这种语言的人（reveals the speaker）。”该句后一句提到“更令人怀疑的是，语言（Language）是用来定义他者的（define the other）在这种情况下，他者（the other）拒绝被一种从未能够识别他者的语言（a language that has never been able to recognize him）所定义。”由此推断，语言因为能够识别一个人的身份而被用来定义使用该语言的人。因此，本题“语言是以什么方式揭示使用这种语言的人的”的答案是B选项“通过一个人说什么语言能识别出他的身份”。【干扰项排除】A选项“说同一种语言的人拥有相同的文化”，原文并未提及，该选项属于无中生有；C选项“语言是一种有效的交际手段”，原文并未提及，该选项属于无中生有；D选项“语言影响说话人所处的环境”，可定位到原文第2段第1句，该句提到“人们进化一种语言是为了描述并控制他们的环境（to describe and thus control their circumstances），或者是为了不被他们无法表达的现实所淹没。”由此可知，使用语言是为了描述和控制周围的环境，因此，环境不同，语言就不同，该选项表述错误，不是语言影响环境，而是环境影响语言。17. 【选项释义】Why does a Frenchman living in Paris has great difficulty in apprehending what the man from Guadeloupe, or Martinique, is saying? 为什么一个住在巴黎的法国人，想知道从瓜德罗普（Guadeloupe）或马提尼克（Martinique）来的人在说什么很困难？A. Because they pronounce many words differently. A. 因为他们很多单词的发音都不一样。B. Because they live in different areas and seldom visit each other. B. 因为他们生活在不同的地区，很少互相访问。C. Because they speak different varieties of a language and confront different realities. C. 因为他们说的是一种语言的不同变种，面对的是不同的现实。D. Because they have different articulation system. D. 因为他们有不同的发音系统。【考查点】事实细节题【解题思路】根据题干关键词a Frenchman living in Paris定位到原文第2段。本段第1句为该段核心句，该句说到“人们进化一种语言是为了描述并控制他们的环境（to describe and thus control their circumstances），或者是为了不被他们无法表达的现实所淹没。”接着通过举例（即本题提到的例子）证明这个观点。本段最后两句提到“但是每个人都为这种共同的（common）语言付出了，并且正在付出不同的代价，事实证明，在这种共同的语言中，他们不是在说，也不能说同样的事情。他们每个人都有非常不同的现实要表达或控制（have very different realities to articulate, or control）。”由此可知，他们说的语言从属于某种共同的语言，但是因为彼此要表达或控制的现实不同，所以他们听不懂对方的话。因此，C选项“因为他们说的是一种语言的不同变种，面对的是不同的现实”表述正确。【干扰项排除】A选项“因为他们很多单词的发音都不一样”，原文并未提及，该选项属于无中生有；B选项“因为他们生活在不同的地区，很少互相访问”，原文并未提及，该选项属于无中生有；D选项“因为他们有不同的发音系统”，原文并未提及，该选项属于无中生有。18. 【选项释义】What does the example of Basque and Welsh illustrate? 巴斯克和威尔士的例子说明了什么？A. Language reveals a nations or a communitys identity. A. 语言揭示了一个国家或社会的身份。B. Certain peoples contempt for a language may lead to racial conflicts. B. 某些人对一种语言的蔑视可能会导致种族冲突。C. Language is a symbol of public existence. C. 语言是公共存在的象征。D. Basque people join up with Welsh people to fight for their language. D. 巴斯克人与威尔士人联合起来为他们的语言而战。【考查点】推理判断题【解题思路】根据题干关键词Basque and Welsh定位到原文第3段。该段倒数第2句提到“巴斯克国家和威尔士的紧张局势，很大程度上是由于巴斯克人和威尔士人（the Basque and Welsh）决心不让他们的语言被破坏（determination not to allow their languages to be destroyed）”。这是第3段举的例子。例子是为论点服务的。本段第1句点明了本段论点，该句说到“将所有语言和所有人连接在一起的是，面对生命的必要性，以便战胜死亡：为此付出的代价是接受和成为一个人暂时的身份（the acceptance, and achievement, of ones temporal identity）。”由此可知，语言显示的是一个人的身份，巴斯克人和威尔士人阻止自己的语言被破坏以保持自己的民族身份。因此，A选项“语言揭示了一个国家或社会的身份”符合题意。【干扰项排除】B选项“某些人对一种语言的蔑视可能会导致种族冲突”，可定位到第3段最后一句，该句提到“爱尔兰的战火（the flames in Ireland）产生的原因之一就是英国人对他们语言的轻蔑（the English contempt for their language）”，由此可知，该选项表述的是另一个例子，与本题中的事例无关；C选项“语言是公共存在的象征”，原文并未提及，该选项属于无中生有；D选项“巴斯克人与威尔士人联合起来为他们的语言而战”，该选项表述的是例子本身，而非使用该例的目的，该选项属于偷换概念。19. 【选项释义】In some places, speaking a certain language may cause _. 在一些地方，说某种语言可能会导致_。A. family divorce A. 家庭分裂B. offence and hatred B. 冒犯和仇恨C. communal misunderstanding C. 公共的误解D. political disagreement D. 政治上的分歧【考查点】推理判断题【解题思路】根据题干关键词speaking a certain language定位到原文最后一段第3句，该句提到“在过去和现在，在某些时间和地点，说某种语言（speak a certain language）可能是危险的，甚至是致命的（dangerous, even fatal）。”由此可知，在某些地方，说某种语言会很危险，甚至致命，B选项“冒犯和仇恨”与“危险或致命”有关，符合题意。【干扰项排除】A选项“家庭分裂”，与“危险，甚至致命”不符，属于无中生有；C选项“公共的误解”，与“危险，甚至致命”不符，属于无中生有；D选项“政治上的分歧”，可定位到原文最后一段第1句，该句提到“语言也是一种政治工具（a political instrument）、手段和权力的证明”，原文虽然提到了语言是政治工具，但是并没有说使用不同的语言会导致政治上的分歧，该选项属于过度推理。20. 【选项释义】The text is primarily concerned with discussing _. 本文主要讨论_。A. the use, status, and reality of Black English A. 黑人英语的使用、地位和现实B. the relationship between language and culture B. 语言与文化的关系C. language varieties C. 语言变体D. language, identity and nationality D. 语言、身份和国籍【考查点】主旨大意题【解题思路】梳理各段核心句，提炼复现词：第一段核心句：本段第3句，该句说到“毫无疑问，语言（Language）揭示了使用这种语言的人（reveals the speaker）。”第二段核心句：本段第1句，该句说到“人们进化一种语言是为了描述并控制他们的环境，或者是为了不被他们无法表达的现实所淹没。”该段揭示了语言的作用；第三段核心句：“将所有语言和所有人连接在一起的是，面对生命的必要性，以便战胜死亡：为此付出的代价是接受和成为一个人暂时的身份（the acceptance, and achievement, of ones temporal identity）。”该段揭示了语言与身份的关系；第四段核心句：本段第2句，该句说到“语言揭示了个人身份（private identity），将一个人与更大的公众或公共身份（the larger public, or communal identity）联系起来或分离开来。”该段揭示了语言与国籍的关系；复现词：language，identity；综上所述，D选项“语言、身份和国籍”最全面的概括了本文的话题。【干扰项排除】A选项“黑人英语的使用、地位和现实”，可定位到原文第1段第1句，该句提到“关于黑人英语的使用、地位或现实（the use, or the status, or the reality of Black English）的争论根植于美国历史，与这个争论所提出的问题完全无关。”但是这只是文中用来引入主题的背景信息，不是原文主旨，该选项属于本末倒置；B选项“语言与文化的关系”，原文并未提及文化，该选项属于无中生有；C选项“语言变体”，只在原文第1段讨论语言时提到，不足以概括全文话题，该选项属于以偏概全。3. 单选题Mary found it difficult to _ Jims father when he disapproved of their marriage.问题1选项A.stand forB.stand outC.stand byD.stand up to【答案】D【解析】考查词组辨析与上下文语义。A选项stand for“代表”；B选项stand out“显眼；突出”；C选项stand by“继续支持（某人），尤指处于困境者”；D选项stand up to“经受住；反抗（某人）”。句意：Mary发现很难_Jim的父亲，当他不赞成他们的婚姻时。A、B选项不符合句意，排除；Jim的父亲不是处于困境者，而是相对来说更强大的人，D选项更符合句意，表达的是“Mary发现当Jim的父亲不赞成他们的婚姻时，反抗他很难”。因此，本题最佳选项为D。4. 单选题Behaviors that we do not understand often become nearly invisibleeven when, in retrospect, we see how truly strange they are.When I was a psychiatric resident, we had a faculty member who was famous for his messy office: stacks of papers and old journals covered every chair and table as well as much of the floor. One day, as I walked past the open office door with one of my supervisors, he murmured mildly, “Odd duck.” And that was as far as anyone seemed to reflect on this peculiar state of affairs within an institution staffed by psychiatrists. Eventually, the faculty member had to be given another office in which to see patients.Not surprisingly, the psychiatric diagnostic manual does not list “messy room” in the index. But it does mention a symptom: inability “to discard worn-out or worthless objects even when they have no sentimental value.” It comes under the diagnosis obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, an obscure cousin of the more famous obsessive-compulsive disorder.I was barely aware of the diagnosis. Every era has mental disorders that for cultural or scientific reasons become popular. In Freuds day it was hysteria. Currently, depression has moved to centre stage. But other ailments go relatively ignored, and this disorder was one.It came with a list of additional symptoms that appeared to be peculiar bedfellow: anxiety about spending money, excessive devotion to work to the exclusion of leisure activities, rigidity about following rules, perfectionism in doing tasksat times to the point of interfering with finishing them.In moderation, the symptoms seemed to fit right in with our workaholic cultureperhaps explaining the low profile of the diagnosis. Relentless work orientation and perfectionism may even be assets in rule-and-detail-oriented professions like accounting or law.But when the symptoms are too intense or pervasive, they become crippling. Beneath seemingly adaptive behaviors lies a central disability. People with this diagnosis have enormous difficulty making decisions. They lack the internal sense of completion that most of us experience at the end of a choice or a task, even one as simple as throwing something out or making a purchase. In obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, this feeling occurs only after endless deliberation and revision, if at all.The need to come up with the “correct” answer, the best purchase or the perfect proposal leads to excess rumination over each decision. It can even lead to complete paralysis. For such people, rules of all kinds are a godsendthey represent pre-made decisions, open-ended assignments, like writing papers, are nightmares.For such a patient or for a psychiatrist, understanding a cluster of diagnostic symptoms can be a revelation. The picture leaps out from the previously disorganized background. But undoubtedly, at times we can become too reductionistic, seeing patterns where none exist: sometimes a messy room is just a messy room.6. Which of the following best describes peoples attitude towards the faculty member?7. The popular mental disorder of current time, according to the author, is _.8. The reason why symptoms of the “obsessive-compulsive disorder” go unnoticed is that _.9. Rules are godsend to persons with the obsessive-compulsive personality disorder because _.10. From the last paragraph we can see that the authors view is that _.问题1选项A.They disliked him, and thats why he got his separate room to see patients.B.They thought he is a little strange, but didnt pay much attention to his behavior.C.They were interested in his behavior, as they were all psychiatrists.D.They thought he had some mental retardation.问题2选项A.hysteriaB.depressionC.messinessD.obsessive-compulsive disorder问题3选项A.they are highly thought of in according to lawB.some of the mild symptoms fit in with a workaholic cultureC.they have a low profileD.they take a long time to become intense or pervasive问题4选项A.they do not involve decision makingB.they are open-ended assignmentsC.they lead to complete paralysisD.they are made by others问题5选项A.a messy room is just a messy roomB.a messy room is an indication of the obsessive-compulsive personality disorderC.psychiatrists should pay attention to a messy roomD.psychiatrists should see patterns of seemingly disorganized behaviors, but shouldnt be too reductionistic【答案】第1题:B第2题:B第3题:B第4题:A第5题:D【解析】6. 【选项释义】Which of the following best describes peoples attitude towards the faculty member? 下列哪项最好地描述了人们对那位同事的态度？A. They disliked him, and thats why he got his separate room to see patients. A. 他们不喜欢他，所以他才有单独的房间去看病。B. They thought he is a little strange, but didnt pay much attention to his behavior. B. 他们觉得他有一点儿奇怪，但是没有太注意他的行为。C. They were interested in his behavior, as they were all psychiatrists. C. 他们对他的行为感兴趣，因为他们都是精神病医生。D. They thought he had some mental retardation. D. 他们认为他有智力障碍。【考查点】推理判断题【解题思路】根据题干关键词peoples attitude towards the faculty member定位到原文第2段。本段第3句提到作者和他的一位同事“路过那个医生的房间时，这个同事说（he murmured mildly）奇怪的家伙（Odd duck）”，并且第4句说“在一个由精神科医生组成的机构里，这似乎是所有人对这种奇特状况的反映（that was as far as anyone seemed to reflect）。”由此可知，人们都觉得这个医生的行为很奇怪，但他们对这种行为的反应也仅限于说一句奇怪而已，B选项“他们觉得他有一点儿奇怪，但是没有太关注他的行为”，符合原文。【干扰项排除】A选项“他们不喜欢他，所以他才有单独的房间去看病”，虽然原文第2段最后一句提到“最后，不得不另外给这名医生分配一间诊室看病（had to be given another office in which to see patients）”，但是原文并没有说之所以这么做是因为人们不喜欢他，并且原文也没有说人们不喜欢他，只是说觉得他奇怪，该选项属于过度推理；C选项“他们对他的行为感兴趣，因为他们都是精神病医生”，原文提到人们的反应也不过是说一句奇怪而已，说明人们对他的行为不感兴趣，该选项属于曲解原文；D选项“他们认为他有智力障碍”，原文并未提及，该选项属于无中生有。7. 【选项释义】The popular mental disorder of current time, according to the author, is _. 据作者介绍，目前流行的精神障碍是_。A. hysteria A. 癔症B. depression B. 抑郁症C. messiness C. 混乱D. obsessive-compulsive disorder D. 强迫症【考查点】事实细节题【解题思路】根据题干关键词The popular mental disorder of current time定位到原文第4段。本段第2句提到“每个时代都有因文化或科学原因而流行的精神障碍（mental disorders）。”另外，本段倒数第2句提到“目前（Currently），抑郁症（depression）已成为人们关注的焦点。”由此可知，B选项“抑郁症”符合原文。【干扰项排除】A选项“癔症”，可定位到原文第4段第3句，该句提到“在弗洛伊德的时代（In Freuds day），这是癔症（hysteria）。”由此可知，癔症是弗洛伊德时代流行的精神疾病，而不是现在，该选项属于张冠李戴；C选项“混乱”原文并未提及，该选项属于无中生有；D选项“强迫症”，虽然原文第3段提到了强迫性人格障碍（obsessive-compulsive personality disorder），但是第4段最后一句说到这是现在“被忽视的（relatively ignored）疾病之一”，因此，该选项表述错误，属于曲解原文。8. 【选项释义】The reason why symptoms of the “obsessive-compulsive disorder” go unnoticed is that _. “强迫症”的症状没有被注意到的原因是_。A. they are highly thought of in according to law A. 根据法律它们评价很高B. some of the mild symptoms fit in with a workaholic culture B. 一些轻微的症状符合工作狂的文化C. they have a low profile C. 这些症状不引人注目D. they take a long time to become intense or pervasive D. 它们需要很长时间才会变得强烈或普遍【考查点】事实细节题【解题思路】根据题干关键词obsessive-compulsive disorder和go unnoticed定位到原文第4段最后一句，该句提到“强迫症在当今时代被忽略了”。接下来的第5-6段对此进行了进一步介绍。第6段第1句提到“适度地情况下（in moderation），这些症状似乎符合我们的工作狂文化（fit right in with our workaholic culture）这也许可以解释为什么该症状的诊断不那么引人注目”，由此可知，强迫症不那么引人注目可能是因为在适度的时候，符合工作狂的文化，B选项“一些轻微的症状符合工作狂的文化”表述正确。【干扰项排除】A选项“根据法律它们评价很高”，原文第6段最后一句提到“不懈的工作导向和完美主义甚至可能是会计或法律等注重规则和细节的职业（in rule-and-detail-oriented professions like accounting or law）的资产。”由此可知，原文指的是在法律行业，轻度的强迫症会被认为是优势，并不是说法律要求给强迫症很高的评价，该选项属于偷换概念；C选项“这些症状不引人注目”，这是“它不受关注”的另一种说法，而不是原因；D选项“它们需要很长时间才会变得强烈或普遍”，原文并未提及，该选项属于无中生有。9. 【选项释义】Rules are godsend to persons with the obsessive-compulsive personality disorder because _. 规则是强迫症患者天赐的礼物，因为_。A. they do not involve decision making A. 它们不涉及决策B. they are open-ended assignments B. 它们是开放式作业C. they lead to complete paralysis C. 它们会导致完全瘫痪D. they are made by others D. 它们是别人制定的【考查点】事实细节题【解题思路】根据题干关键词Rules are godsend定位到原文第8段最后一句，该句提到“对这些人来说，各种各样的规则都是天赐的礼物它们代表着预先做出的决定”，由此可知，规则代表着预先做出的决定。第8段第1句提到“需要想出正确的答案，最好的购买或完美的建议导致对每个决定的过度思考（excess rumination over each decision）。”由此可知，强迫症患者不擅长做决定。综上所述，因为规则是已经做好的决定，所以对于不擅长做决定的人来说是天赐的礼物。因此，A选项“它们不涉及决策”表述正确。【干扰项排除】B选项“它们是开放式作业”，可定位到原文第8段最后一句，该句提到，对强迫症患者来说，“开放式作业（open-ended assignments），比如写论文，都是噩梦（nightmares）。”由此可知，首先规则并不是开放式的作业；其次，开放式的作业对强迫症患者来说并不是天赐的礼物，反而是他们不擅长的，该选项属于曲解原文；C选项“它们会导致完全瘫痪”，可定位到第8段第2句，该句提到“它甚至会导致完全瘫痪。”但是联系前一句可知，“它”指的是“需要想出正确的答案，最好的购买或完美的建议”，即对完美的追求，而不是“规则”，该选项属于张冠李戴；D选项“它们是别人制定的”，原文并未提及，该选项属于无中生有。10. 【选项释义】From the last paragraph we can see that the authors view is that _. 从最后一段我们可以看出作者的观点是_。A. a messy room is just a messy room A. 凌乱的房间就是凌乱的房间B. a messy room is an indication of the obsessive-compulsive personality disorder B. 房间凌乱是强迫症的表现C. psychiatrists should pay attention to a messy room C. 精神科医生应该注意凌乱的房间D. psychiatrists should see patterns of seemingly disorganized behaviors, but shouldnt be too reductionistic D. 精神科医生应该看到看似混乱的行为模式，而不应该过于简单化【考查点】推理判断题【解题思路】根据题干关键词last paragraph定位到原文最后一段。本题询问的是作者的观点，应该与本文的主旨相关，本文的话题是强迫症。本段第1句提到“对于这样的病人或精神病医生来说，理解一系列诊断症状可能是一种启示。”而本段最后一句指出，“但是有时我们可能变得过于简化，看到一些不存在的模式：有时一个凌乱的房间就是一个凌乱的房间。”由此可知，作者认为，精神科医生应该“理解一系列诊断症状”，但是在这个过程中不要“过于简化”，D选项“精神科医生应该看到看似混乱的行为模式，而不应该过于简单化”符合原文。【干扰项排除】A选项“凌乱的房间就是凌乱的房间”。虽然文章最后一句提到“有时一个凌乱的房间就是一个凌乱的房间”，但是该选项与文章主题无关，“凌乱的房间”只是作者用来引出话题的一个事例，也就是说它只是一个例子，该选项属于本末倒置；B选项“房间凌乱是强迫症的表现”，通读全文可知，强迫症患者的特点是有序和注重规则，“房间凌乱”不是强迫症的表现，该选项属于曲解全文；C选项“精神科医生应该注意凌乱的房间”，本文的主题是强迫症，“凌乱的房间”只是作者用来引出话题的一个事例，该选项属于本末倒置。5. 单选题The world will be advancing with such great speed that our _ will look upon us and our time with a sense of superiority.问题1选项A.antecedentsB.descendantsC.predecessorsD.contemporaries【答案】B【解析】【选项释义】A. antecedents 祖先 B. descendants 后代C. predecessors 前人 D. contemporaries 同时代的人【考查点】语义衔接【解题思路】空格处前文提到“世界将以如此快的速度前进”，空格处为从句的主语，后文提到“会以一种优越感看待我们和我们的时代”。“优越感”说明他们所处的时代比我们现在的时代要更好，而世界是不断进步的，因此，其主语应该是我们的后代，B选项descendants“后代”符合语义逻辑。【干扰项排除】A、C、D选项不能使原句前后语义衔接。【句意】世界将以如此巨大的速度前进，以至于我们的后代将以一种优越感看待我们和我们的时代。6. 单选题The bo
