答案与题解:
1.D 综合第一句的大意,只有D选项"信息"填在这里恰当,A选项的意思是"提议,暗示",B"语境,上下文",C"摘要"。
2. B 此句大意为"理想的学生是为了学习而学习",只有ideal最符合要求,故选B。
3. C 本文讲的是与学生学习相关的内容,A,B,D均不合文意及句意,故排除。
4. D 此处要区分几个介词的含义,bereturnedwith一般有"带着……回来"之意,此句意为"有时,被发回来的作业上只有简短的评价,并无分数"。
be returnedby意为"被……带回来",而for,in于此搭配不当,答案选D。
5. C beresponsiblefor是固定搭配,表示"对……负责任"。
其他选项放在此处都不合上下文含意。
6. C 此句意思是"当一项研究课题被选定时,教授们期望学生积极去做"。
A和D不合题意,最大的干扰项B意思为"分配,分布",一般指一个整体被分散给许多个体,与之相比,C选项更为合适。
7. B 老师肯定希望学生能够在尽可能少的指导下完成研究。
只有B选项意为"最小的",为正确答案。
8.D 首先排除B选项,因为此处需要一个关系副词充当宾语从句的状语,而what是关系代词,之后要看整句的意思,教授们没有时间去给学生解释一个大学图书馆是怎样运作的。
A和C虽然符合语法要求,但放此处意思不通,故选D。
9. A A选项意为"尤其",B"本质上",C"明显地",D"很少地,难得"。
此处强调毕业生,A选项较为合适。
10. C 此句意为"教授们期望学生,尤其是研究生阅尽图书馆中的文献资源"。
A意为"选集",B为"集合",两者一般都指文学作品的"集合",而此处是学术界的文献。
C与
