2005年考研英语完形填空真题解析The human nose is an underrated tool. Humans are often thought to be insensitive smellers compared with animals,1this is largely because,2animals, we stand upright. This means that our noses are 3 to perceiving those smells which float through the air, 4 the majority of smells which stick to surfaces. In fact, 5 , we are extremely sensitive to smells, 6 we do not generally realize it. Our noses are capable of 7 human smells even when these are 8 to far below one part in one million.Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, 9 others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generate 10 smell receptors in the nose. These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send 11 to the brain. However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell 12 can suddenly become sensitive to it when 13 to it often enough.The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that the brain finds it 14 to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can 15 new receptors if necessary. This may 16 explain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smells-we simply do not need to be. We are not 17 of the usual smell of our own house, but we 18 new smells when we visit someone else's. The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors 19 for unfamiliar and emergency signals 20 the smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.1. [A] although[B] as[C] but[D] while2.

2006年考研英语完形填空真题答案解析1. A 逻辑关系题(总分关系)根据要填的空所在语句的前一句“无家可归者在美国人口中所占比例越来越大”与后一句“无家可归者所占的比例已经达到如此地步以至于…”,并不难发现后一句是对前一句的一个例证和强调。
ABCD四个选项中,A. Indeed的确,一般表示强调;B. Likewise类似地,表示前后两句的相似性;C. Therefore因此,是一个因果连词,强调结果;而D. Furthermore进一步说,表示递进关系。
因此,只有A选项符合前后两句间的例证强调关系,故为正确答案。
2. B词义辨析题(动词辨析)考察动词的辨析,首先要找到空所在那句话的主干,即“homelessness has reached such proportions that local government can’t possibly__”,该句给出了动作的发出者(主语),即local government,那么只要判断出该主语可以发出选项中的哪个动作,问题就迎刃而解了;此外,空后没有其他成分,即宾语,因此,填入的动词应为不及物动词。
ABCD四个选项中,A. stand,忍受,及物动词,不符合句子结构;B. cope,处理,忍受,不及物动词,放在原句中表达完整意思,“…已达到政府无法忍受的地步”,为正确选项;C. approve,批准,通常“批准”的是文件,与原句语言环境不符;而D.retain,保留,与无家可归人的数量搭配在一起不合适。
因此,正确答案为B.cope。
3. D固定搭配题(介词辨析)选项中的四个介词都可以与help搭配,分别构成:A.help sb. in doing sth.帮助某人做某事;B.help sb. for为…而帮助某人;C.help sb. with sth.帮助某人处理某事;D.help sb. toward…帮助某人向(某个方向发展)。
结合语境具体信息,“To help homeless people__independence, the federal government must…”,“为帮助无家可归人__独立,联邦政府必须支持就业培训计划…”,D选项toward最符合题意,故为正确答案。

考研英语完形填空真题解析Research on animal intelligence always makes me wonder just how smart humans are. 1 the fruit-fly experiments described in Carl Zimmer's piece in the Science Times on Tuesday. Fruit flies who were taught to be smarter than the average fruit fly 2 to live shorter lives. This suggests that 3 bulbs burn longer, that there is an 4 in not being too terrifically bright.Intelligence, it 5 , is a high-priced option. It takes more upkeep, burns more fuel and is slow 6 the starting line because it depends on learning-a 7 process-instead of instinct. Plenty of other species are able to learn, and one of the things they've apparently learned is when to 8 .Is there an adaptive value to 9 intelligence? That's the question behind this new research. I like it. Instead of casting a wistful glance 10 at all the species we've left in the dust I.Q.-wise, it implicitly asks what the real 11 of our own intelligence might be. This is 12 the mind of every animal I've ever met.Research on animal intelligence also makes me wonder what experiments animals would 13 on humans if they had the chance. Every cat with an owner, 14 , is running a small scale study in operant conditioning. We believe that 15 animals ran the labs, they would test us to 16 the limits of our patience, our faithfulness, our memory for terrain. They would try to decide what intelligence in humans is really 17 , not merely how much of it there is. 18 , they would hope to study a 19 question: Are humans actually aware of the world they live in? 20 the results are inconclusive.1.

Part of the problem is that many homeless adults are addicted to alcohol or drugs. And a significant number of the homeless have serious mental disorders. Many others, 14 not addicted or mentally ill, simply lack the everyday 15 skills needed to turn their lives 16 . Boston Globe reporter Chris Reedy notes that the situation will improve only when there are 17 programs that address the many needs of the homeless. 18 Edward Zlotkowski, director of community service at Bentley College in Massachusetts, 19 it.

但是,许多无家可归者即使在解决温饱之后仍然游荡街头,这是因为他们要么酗酒或吸毒成瘾,要么患严重的精神疾病,要么就是缺乏能够改变生活现状的生存技能。
因此,要想从根本上帮助这些无家可归者,必须采取综合的彼此协调的一揽子措施。
文章结构本文采用了总分的叙述方式,第一段提出了文章的主题"无家可归者的人数在增加,政府必须采取措施来解决这一问题"。
第二段和第三段作者分别从这两个方面进行了论述,第二段提出无家可归者的人数在未来还会进一步增加;第三段提出了解决这一问题的方法。
答案详解1. 【解析】[A] 语义衔接/逻辑衔接。
The homeless make up a growing percentage of America's po pulation., homelessness has reached such proportions that…。
"无家可归者在美国人口中占越来越大的比例。
……无家可归者所占的比例已经达到如此地步,以至于……。
" 选项A. indeed表示强调;B. likewise与……相似;C. therefore因此(强调结果);D. furthermore进一步说(表示递进)。
根据前一句"make up a growing percentage"与后一句"reach such proportion that"确定后者是对前者的例证强调。
因此,正确答案为A。
2.【解析】[B] 语义衔接题。
本题目选择动词在定语从句中充当谓语。
…homelessness has reached such proportions that local government can't possibly. "无家可归者所占的比例已经达到地方政府都无法……的地步。
"选项A. stand 忍受;B. cope (成功地)对付,应对;C. approve 赞成,批准;D. retain 保留。
stand作为及物动词在句子中要直接连接宾语,但是句子中没有宾语,因此该词不符合句子结构; cope作为不及物动词,可以在句子中表达完整的含义;C、D项与句意不符。
因此,正确答案为B。
3.【解析】[D] 语义衔接题。
本题目选择介词,选择介词与句子中的动词有直接关系。
原文意为:帮助无家可归者达到独立。
D项toward意为"达成,意在达到,以……为目标"。
C项with可与help构成搭配to help sb. with sth."帮助某人做某事",与题意不符。
因此,正确答案为D。
4.【解析】[A] 语义衔接题。
the federal government must support job training programs,the minimum wage, and fund more low cost housing. "联邦政府必须提供就业培训项目,……最低工资标准,资助建设更多低价住房。
" 句子中"the minimum wage"与前面的短语"support job training program"(提供就业培训项目)和后面的短语"fund more low cost housing"(资助建设更多低价住房)是并列关系。
由提供信息确定选择"提高"之意。
raise增加,提高,"提高最低工资标准",符合句子含义; add也意为"增加",但它的宾语一般是具体数字。
因此,正确答案为A。
5.【解析】[D] 语义衔接/词汇辨析题。
本题目选择副词,在句子中限定范围。
every one agrees on the numbers of Americans who are homeless. "……每个人同意美国无家可归者的数量。
" 由于本题包含反义选项,而上文又没有提示,因此应看下面句中的信息。
第6题所在的语境句意为"人们对此的估计数字从六十万到三百万不等"。
因此,本题意思应该为"关于美国无家可归者的数量,众说不一"。
A、B两项表示肯定含义,所以排除。
C、D项同样表示否定含义,但hardly一般与anyone,anything 搭配;not 与all, every搭配表示部分否定。
6.【解析】[C] 语义衔接/惯用衔接题。
句子中的主语、宾语以及介词决定所选择的动词。
句子叙述到Estimatesanywhere from 600,000 to 3 million. "估计数字……60万到300万之间。
