2022年考博英语-河北工业大学考试内容及全真模拟冲刺卷（附带答案与详解）1. 单选题Just as the scientists claims about cloning were proven to be _ and unlikely, so too were the methods used to arrive at them found to be _ and riddled with fundamental lapses in the scientific method.问题1选项A.implausibleerroneousB.acrimoniousredundantC.esotericlackadaisicalD.articulateunwarranted【答案】A【解析】【选项释义】A. implausibleerroneous难以置信的错误的 B. acrimoniousredundant讥讽的，尖刻的多余的，过剩的C. esotericlackadaisical深奥难懂的懒洋洋的，无精打采的 D. articulateunwarranted发音清楚的，口才好的无根据的，无保证的【答案】A【考查点】形容词辨析。【解题思路】第一个空格处和unlikely（不可能的）并列的，所以推测该空格与unlikely意思相近，选项中implausible符合句意；第二个空格根据后面的riddled with fundamental lapses in the scientific method（充斥着科学方法的根本性失误）可知，该空格表示“错误的”。因此，该题选择A项符合句意。【干扰项排除】B、C、D项不符合句意。【句意】正如科学家所说的那样，克隆被证明是难以置信的和不可能的，克隆过程中用到的偏离科学的基本方法也是错误的。2. 单选题With its common interest in law-breaking but its immense range of subject-matter and widely-varying methods of treatment, the crime novel could make a legitimate claim to be regarded as a separate branch of literature, or, at least, as a distinct, even though a slightly disreputable, offshoot of the traditional novel.The detective story is probably the most respectable (at any rate in the narrow sense of the word) of crime species. Its creation is often the relaxation of university teachers, literary economists, scientists or even poets. Fatalities may occur more frequently and mysteriously than might be expected in polite society, but the world in which they happen, the village, seaside resort, college or studio, is familiar to us, if not from our own experience, at least in the newspaper or the lives of friends. The characters, though normally realized superficially, are as recognizably human and consistent as our less intimate associates. A story set in a more remote environment, African jungle, or Australian bush, ancient China or gas-lit London, appeals to our interest in geography or history, and most detective story writers are conscientious in providing a reasonably authentic background. The elaborate, carefully assembled plot, despised the modern intellectual critics and creators of significant novels, has found refuge in the murder mystery with its sprinkling of clues, its spicing with apparent impossibilities, all with appropriate solutions and explanations at the end. With the guilt of escapism from Real Life nagging gently, we secretly revel in the unmasking of evil by a vaguely super-human detective, who sees through and dispels the cloud of suspicion which has hovered so unjustly over the innocent.Though its villain also receives his rightful deserts, the thriller presents a less comfortable and credible world. The sequence of fist fights, revolver duels, car crashes and escapes from gas-filled cellars exhausts the reader far more than the hero, who, suffering from at least two broken ribs, one black eye, uncountable bruises and a hangover, can still chase and overpower an armed villain with the physique of a wrestler. He moves dangerously through a world of ruthless gangs, brutality, a vicious lust for power and money and, in contrast to the detective tale, with a near-omniscient arch-criminal whose defeat seems almost accidental. Perhaps we miss in the thriller the security of being safely led by our imperturbable investigator past a score of red herrings and blind avenues to a final gathering of suspects when an unchallengeable elucidation of all that has bewildered us is given and justice and goodness prevail. All that we vainly hope for from life is granted vicariously.1. The crime novel may be regarded as _.2. The text suggests that intellectuals write detective stories because _.3.
