考研考博-考博英语-西安建筑科技大学模拟考试题含答案1. 单选题It is futile to discuss the matter further, because（ ） going to agree upon anything today.问题1选项A.neither you nor I areB.neither you nor me isC.neither you nor I amD.neither me nor you are【答案】C【解析】语法题考查neither.nor.的用法。当neithernor连接两个主语时，需要遵循就近原则，即主谓一致，以靠近谓语动词的，做主语的名词作为人称和数的参考标准，由此可排除A选项。在英语中一般将“我”放在后面，排除D选项；而B选项中的“me”错在宾语形式，此处需要主语形式“I”。因此C选项正确。句意：这件事再讨论也没用了，因为今天你我都不会达成一致意见的。因此C选项正确。2. 单选题The European Commission issued a _ decision on Oct. 29 permitting an alliance between United Airlines, Deutsche Lufthansa and Scandinavian Airlines System that allows them to coordinate prices, schedules and routes in the transatlantic market. It turned out to be well received.问题1选项A.automaticB.landmarkC.obsoleteD.outgrown【答案】B【解析】考查形容词辨析。A选项“automatic”意为“自动的；无意识的；必然的”；B选项“landmark”意为“有重大意义或影响的”；C选项“obsolete”意为“废弃的；老式的”；D选项“outgrown”意为“过大的”。句意：10月29日，欧盟委员会发布了一项具有里程碑意义的决定，允许美国联合航空公司、德国汉莎航空公司和斯堪的纳维亚航空公司建立联盟，在跨大西洋市场协调价格、航班和航线。结果很受欢迎。由题干可知，decision（决定）后的内容是允许三家不同国家的航空公司建立联盟，并且反响很好，所以可以推测出这个决定具有重大意义和影响。因此B选项符合题意。3. 单选题Every modern government, liberal or otherwise, has a specific position in the field of ideas; its stability is vulnerable to critics in proportion to their ability and persuasiveness.问题1选项A.futileB.susceptibleC.feasibleD.flexible【答案】B【解析】考查形容词辨析。横线单词vulnerable意为“易受攻击的，易受的攻击；易受伤害的；有弱点的”；A选项“futile”意为“无用的；无效的；没有出息的”；B选项“susceptible”意为“易受影响的；易感动的；容许的”；C选项“feasible”意为“可行的；可能的；可实行的”；D选项“flexible”意为“灵活的；柔韧的；易弯曲的”。句意：每一个现代政府，无论是自由的还是不自由的，在思想领域都有一个特定的位置；它的稳定性易受批评家的影响，与他们的能力和说服力成比例。由题干可知，its stability（政府的稳定性）与critics（批评家）之间应该是被影响的关系，也就是批评家的能力和说服力越强，政府的稳定性越容易受影响受伤害。由此可知，vulnerable在此处最可能是“易受伤害的”的意思。因此B选项符合题意。4. 不定项选择题A complex operation called spinal fusion has emerged as the treatment of choice for many kinds of back pain. But a number of researchers say there is little scientific evidence to show that for most patients, spinal fusion works any better than a simpler operation, the laminectomy（椎板切除术）. Some people would be better off with no surgery at all. Even doctors who favor fusions say that more research is needed on their benefits.In the absence of better data, critics point to a different reason for the fusion operations fast rises: money. Medicare can pay a surgeon as much as four times more for a spinal fusion as for a laminectomy. Hospitals also collect two to four times as much. “We all cave in to market and economic forces,” said Dr. Edward C. Benzel. Though doctors, as a rule, should favor the least complicated treatment with surgery being the last resort Dr. Benzel estimated that fewer than half of the spinal fusions done today were probably appropriate.Doctors and hospitals are not the only players with a financial stake in fusion operations. Critics blame the companies that make the hardware for promoting more complex fusions without evidence that they are significantly more effective. Some sort of hardware is used in almost 90 percent of lower-back fusions and the national bill for the hardware alone has soared to $2.5 billion a year.The hardware makers in general acknowledge giving surgeons millions of dollars for consulting and researches, but say the money promotes technical advances that improve back care. But a lawsuit brought by Scott A. Wiese, a former sales representative of Medtronic the biggest maker of spinal hardware, accused the company of trying to persuade surgeons to use its products with offers of first-class plane tickets to Hawaii and nights at the finest hotels. Medtronic said it did nothing wrong, and it denied the accusations in the lawsuit. But the company disclosed earlier this year that the federal government was investigating charges that it paid illegal kickbacks to surgeons. Federal officials declined to comment on the investigation, and Medtronic said it would vigorously defend itself.Still, between the allure of money and the quest for breakthroughs in treatment, some prominent spinal surgeons say that back care has gone astray.1.
