(1)考查固定搭配。动词aim后面一般可以跟两个介词,aim at或者aim to,如果是后者的话,后面的动词应该用动词原形,根据extending可知此处用at, aim at “针对;旨在”,因此选项A符合题意。
(2)考查动词词组。空格处所在句子的大意是:不同大学对这些功能的重视程度不一样。vary from … to … “因……而异”,选项D符合题意。
(3)考查固定搭配。the people in charge “负责人”,选项C符合题意。
(4)考查动词词义辨析。句子缺少一个谓语动词,主语是universities, 宾语是the staff or requirement,根据主语跟宾语的关系,可知possess “拥有”符合要求。
(5)考查形容词词义辨析。maximum “最高的;最多的”;medium “中间的,中等的”;virtual “实质上的”;vast “巨大的,大量的”。Smaller and newer universities (小规模并且是新建的大学)与后文的larger institutions (较大的机构)形成对比,空格处是较大机构做的事情,因此选项D符合题意。
(6)考查逻辑连接词。空格处需根据上下文填入一个逻辑连接词。前面提到新建的小规模的大学因缺乏人力物力无法做大量的研究项目,后面提到大部分专家认为科研很重要,二者是有一个转折关系,选项A符合题意。
(7)考查固定搭配。natural “自然的”;essential “基本的,必要的”;functional “功能的”;optional “可选择的,随意的”。空格处所在句子的大意是:大部分专家认为搞科研对于教师和学生及时了解最新信息非常……,由此可知,科研对于教师和学生来说是非常有必要的, be essential to “对……很有必要”,选项B符合题意。
(8)考查固定搭配。搞科研是为了让教师和学生能够及时了解最新的信息,keep in touch with为固定搭配,意思是 “与......保持联系”。选项C符合题意。
(9)考查动词词义辨析。acquire “获得,取得”;accept “接受”;endure “忍耐”;ensure “确保”。所填动词后面的宾语是knowledge (知识),acquire knowledge 搭配恰当,“获得知识”符合题意。
(10)考查名词词义辨析。procession “队伍,行列”;profession“职业,专业”;possession “拥有;财产”;preference “偏爱,倾向”。前半句提到获取知识,后半句提及“他们选择的……”,根据语境可知选项B符合题意。
(11)考查形容词词义辨析。后文提到大学的目的是教育具有判断力和智慧、知识的男女,说明目的不止一个,选项D符合题意。
(12)考查介词词义辨析。空格前面提到 men and women,后面是 judgment and wisdom as well as knowledge, 前者与后者是所属关系,用介词with。
(13)考查动词词义辨析。prompt “促进”;provoke “驱使;激怒”;encourage “鼓励,怂恿”;anticipate “预料,预期”。前文提到教育的目的不只一个,所以学校鼓励学生去结交那些兴趣不同的朋友,选项C符合题意。
(14)考查名词词义辨析。history “历史”;expression“表达”;interest “兴趣爱好”;curiosity “好奇心”。“学校鼓励学生去结交那些兴趣不同的朋友”,因此选项C符合题意。
(15)考查动词词义辨析。broaden “扩大”;lengthen “使延长”;enforce “实施”;specify “指定,详细说明”。前面提到结交兴趣不同的朋友,会使得他们在研究领域的理解“扩大”。选项A符合题意。
(16)考查介词词义辨析。需要填入一个表时间的介词,on a secondary school course “在中学课程时”,因此选项D符合题意。
(17)考查固定搭配。for one’s own sake “为了自己的利益”。选项D符合题意。
(18)考查固定搭配。make effort to do “努力做……”,选项B符合题意。
(19)考查名词词义辨析。field “领域”;scope “范围”;target “目标”;goal “目标”。空格处所在句子的大意是:深入研究他所在的领域。选项A符合题意。
