Theories ____ on the individual suggest that children engage in criminal behavior because they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through interaction with others.A. acting on 作用于…。 B. relying on 依賴于；C. centering on 集中于；D. menting on 評論。不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，本題目選擇現(xiàn)在分詞，與on 構(gòu)成搭配，在句子中充當定語修飾主語。句子敘述到 Theories____ on the individual “理論…于個人”。選項A. acting on 作用于…“理論作用于個人”，符合句子含義；選項B. relying on 依賴于“理論依賴于個人”，符合句子含義；選項C. centering on 集中于“理論集中于個人”，符合句子含義；選項D. menting on 評論“理論評論個人”，不符合句子含義，“評論”應(yīng)該是人發(fā)出的動作。在該句中A,B,C三個選項都合理，因此該題目為語意辨析題。語意辨析題在段落中間句，答案在前或后的相鄰語句中。前面句子敘述到…focus either on the individual or on society as the major contributing 。顯然，“focus on 集中于”為該題目提供了信息，本題要選擇“集中于”含義的短語。因此，正確答案為C. centering on 集中于“理論集中于個人”。四、試題精選與導(dǎo)讀2008年真題The idea that some groups of people may be intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak its name. But Gregory Cochran is 1 to say it any way. He is that 2 bird, a scientist who works independently 3 any institution. He helped popularize the idea that some diseases not 4 thought to have a bacterial cause were actually infections, which aroused much controversy when it was first suggested. 5 he, however, might tremble at the 6 of what he is about to do. Together with another two scientists, he is publishing a paper which not only 7 that one group of humanity is more intelligent than the others, hut explains the process that has brought this about. The group in 8 are a particular people originated from central Europe. The process is natural selection. This group generally do well in IQ test, 9_ 1215 points above the 10 value of 100, and have contributed 11 to the intellectual and cultural life of the West, as the 12 of their elites, including several worldrenowned scientists, 13 . They also suffer more often than most people from a number of nasty genetic diseases, such as breast cancer. These facts, 14 , have previously been thought unrelated. The former has been 15 to social effects, such as a strong tradition of 16 education. The latter was seen as a (an) 17 of genetic isolation. Dr. Cochran suggests that the intelligence and diseases are intimately 18 . His argument is that the unusual history of these people has 19 them to unique evolutionary pressures that have resulted in this 20 state of affairs.1.[A]selected [B]prepared [C]obliged [D]Pleased2.[A]unique [B]particular [C]special [D]rare3.[A]of [B]with [C]in [D]against4.[A]subsequently [B]presently [C]previously [D]lately5.[A]Only [B]So [C]Even [D]Hence6.[A]thought [B]sight [C]cost [D]risk7.[A]advise [B]suggests [C]protests [D]objects8.[A]progress [B]fact [C]need [D]question9.[A]attaining [B]scoring [C]reaching [D]calculating10.[A]normal [B]mon [C]mean [D]total11.[A]unconsciously [B]disproportionately [C]indefinitely [D]unaccountably12.[A]missions [B]fortunes [C]interests [D]careers13.[A]affirm [B]witness [C]observe [D]
