hot day 答案 A 解析 在整个句子中 we went swimming in the river 是主句 其前就用分词短语作状 语 该题考的语法知识为 分语的独立结构 按照语法要求 being very hot 的真实主语应 该是 The day 因此应该保留 而答案 B C 都是由简单句与主句相连 语法中有规定 两个简单句不能用逗号相连 应加上连词 而答案 D 则表明 We 是 Being a very hot day 的逻辑主语 这显然是错误的 19 She didn t go to the cinema last night she had to finish her term paper A as B if C till D though 答案 A 解析 从两句的逻辑关系来看 第一分句是结果 后一分句是原因 因此 要表示原因 只能用 as 20 I have

or statement there are 4 choices marked A B C and D You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted We tend to assume that experts and religious leaders tell us the truth We tend to believe that things advertised on television or in newspapers can t be bad for us However encouragement of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities Few professors require students to share the professors own beliefs In general professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others including some of their own beliefs or values This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs either It does mean however that professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing If your premises 前提 are shaky or if your arguments are not logical professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments Most professors want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments to examine whether you really accept these premises and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions Put it this way Professors don t tell you what to think they try to teach you how to think On the other hand if you intend to disagree with your professors in class you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas Many professors interpret it as rudeness 36 In the first paragraph the writer tries to tell us that people A easily accept certain things without a second thought B grow up through learning certain things in life C are forming their views during their growth D have strong beliefs in authorities while getting old 答案 A 解析 理解第一句中的 taking certain things for granted 37 Nowadays most colleges and universities encourage students to A criticize others B share professors beliefs C give their own ideas D change their own beliefs 答案 C 解析 第二段中的最一后句点题 It does mean however that professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing 38 The word shaky Line 1 Para 3 most probably means A creative B firm C false D weak 答案 D 解析

D different kinds of arguments 答案 B 解析 第三段最后一句 Professors don t tell you what to think they try to teach you how to think 表明了教授的意图 40 According to the writer the right way to argue is to A argue mainly for the sake of arguing B prove it with a good conclusion C support your idea with sound reasoning D examine others ideas critically 答案 C 解析 本文最后一段可以得出答案 Task 2 Directions This task is the same
