The system might use a smart identity card, or a digital credential linked to a specific
computer...

解析:本题应选第 个选项。原 意为:该系统可以使 连接于特定计算机的智能 份证


或数字证书......因此选 linked, 扰项 chained to 意为“受到束缚”,与语境不符,因
此排除。direct 意为“对准”;(be)compared to 意为“与... 较起来”。

第 7 组:
今天的词组和 effect 相关,我们先来看看这个词有哪些意思:

effect /ɪˈfekt/ n. 效应,影响,结果, 效果;v. 实现,使发

的。所以这道题了解即可。in vain 徒劳, 费 ;in return 作为(对...的)回报;in
contrast 形成对 。

第 8 组:
around adv./prep. 周围;附近;在 边; 约

真题:
• However, a true cashless society is probably not around the corner. Indeed,
predictions have been for two decades but have not yet come to fruition.

A.off B. back C.over D.around

解析:本题应选第四个选项。原 第 句说“ 个真正的 现 社会并不会马上到来。” 第


句“事实上,各种预测已经存在 多年了,但是( 现 社会)仍没有实现。” 因此这
选择 have been around,表 这些预测“存在”了很多年。同时原 上 句 也有我们今天讲
的词组 around the corner 哦~

真题:【上下 提 :纸币很难被电 付取代】
• Second, paper checks have the advantage that they provide receipts, something that
many consumers are unwilling to .

A. give up B. take over C. bring back D. pass down

解析:本题应选第 个选项。根据原 可知:“消费者不愿意舍弃收据”,take over 接管;


bring back 把某物带回来/使回忆起某事(提 :使回忆起某事=把回忆带回来,很好记
的);pass down 流传,这 个词组放在语境 都不合适,故选 A。

Second, paper checks have the advantage that they provide receipts, something that many
consumers are unwilling to give up.

直 翻译:第 ,纸质 票有 个好处,那就是它们可以提供收据,这种收据是很多消费


者不愿意舍弃的。

稍作修改后的翻译:第 ,纸质 票可提供收据,对于许多消费者来说,他们不愿意舍


弃这个好处。(注意:收据=好处,所以两种翻译都是对的,只不过第 种更简洁清晰
些)

• ... dishonest persons might be able to access bank accounts in electronic payments
systems and steal from someone else’s accounts. The prevention of this type of fraud
is no easy task, and a new field of computer science is developing to security
issues.

A. call for B. fight against C. adapt to D. cope with

解析:应选最后 个选项。本题需要填 个动词短语,后 的宾语是原 中的“security


issues(安全问题)”。call for 意思是“要求,需要”;fight against 意思是“作战,对抗”;
adapt to 意思是“适应”;cope with 意思是“对付,处理,应对”。根据上下 ,新型电脑
技术的研发是为了应对这些安全问题。因此选 D。

【部分同学可能会觉得 fight against 也可以,请注意,我们在选择的时候 定要选择最


优选项,这 宾语是“issue 问题”,显然 动词“处理,应对”才是最合适的。如果后 的
宾语是“敌 ”或者“病魔”,那么 fight against 肯定是最合适的】

参考译 :

...dishonest persons might be able to access bank accounts in electronic payments systems
and steal from someone else’s accounts. The prevention of this type of fraud is no easy task,
and a new field of computer science is developing to cope with security issues.

in contrast (to/with): 形成对
拓展 in marked/sharp contrast to :形成鲜明对 ;截然不同
in turn :轮流,依次; 相应地,转 ,反过来
【in turn 主要有两个意思:1. 第 个是“依次,轮流”,强调顺序。(我们经常说 it's
your turn“轮到你了”)所以 in turn 的第 层含义 较好记。2. 第 个意思看着 较复杂,
英 释义其实就 个意思“as a result of something” 。举 个中 例 帮助 家理解:“理论
以实践为基础,(in turn)反过来又为实践服务”。“利率下调,股价(in turn)相应
地就上涨了”。】
in part :部分地,某种程度上(= partly / to some extent )

例句:

并 相差很远。

真题:
• An adult with a BMI of 18 to 25 is often considered to be normal weight. Between 25
and 30 is overweight. And over 30 is considered obese. Obesity, , can be divided
into moderately obese, severely obese, and very severely obese.

A. in essence B. in contrast C. in turn D. in part

解析:本题应选第三个选项,有 77.3%的考 都做错了。这道题考查的既是 家对上下


的理解,也是对四个词组的正确掌握。我们先来看下原 的意思:

An adult with a BMI of 18 to 25 is often considered to be normal weight. Between 25 and


30 is overweight. And over 30 is considered obese. Obesity, in turn, can be divided into
moderately obese, severely obese, and very severely obese.

成年 的 BMI(体重指数)在 18 到 25 之间常常被认为是正常体重。25 到 30 之间是超重。


超过 30 就是肥胖了。相应地,肥胖又可以分为中度肥胖,重度肥胖以及严重肥胖。

如果看懂了原 ,且知道 in essence "从本质上讲",in contrast “形成对 ”,in part “部分


地,某种程度上”,那么就不会选择这三个选项。因为肥胖分成三类,并没有是否“从
本质上讲”之说,原 这 也不是在做对 ,更不是“部分地”分成三类。因此,只能选择
in turn 哦~

【注意:这 in turn 可以翻译成“相应地”,也可以翻译成“继 ”:肥胖继 又可以分


成 xxx,xxx,xxx】

温馨提 :obese /əʊˈbi:s/ 指的是“病态的”那种“肥胖”,不是平时我们 头说的 100 多


的那种 胖,obese 这个词经常在医学领域内使 ,指影响健康的那种肥胖。美国的
obesity / əʊˈbi:səti / 肥胖症,就是 种很严重且常见的社会现象哦。(所以咱们中国
100 出头的 姑娘天天喊着减肥的时候,美国很多 300 多 的孩 是真的不能理解的 哈
哈)

A. in terms of B. in case of C. in favor of D. in respect of

解析:本题应选第 个选项。这道题最 的难点就在于,绝 多数同学根本不知道 in


terms of 除了“就... ”以外,还可以表 “ 根据...来解释/描述”,如果知道这层含
义,还能看懂原 ,那就 定不会选错哦。剩下三个选项我就不重复解释啦,上 都给
过释义也给例句了哦!

解析:本题应选第四个选项。compared with 表 “与...相 较”;combined with 表


“与...相结合”;settle with 表 “结清账 ”,且主动语态 的 较多;associated with 表
“与...联系起来;与...有关”。原 表 的是“与肥胖有关的刻板印象有......等”,因
此选择 associated。

原 翻译:

pictured in the media with their faces covered. Stereotypes associated with obesity include
laziness, lack of will power, and lower prospects for success.

现在,我们通常认为肥胖很丢 。超重的 有时在媒体报道中是被遮住脸部的。与肥胖

A. attend B. point C. take D. turn

解析:本题应选最后 个选项。原 意为当我们遇到不熟悉的陌 时,会感到焦虑,


为了避免和陌 交流,会 turn to our phones,也就是“求助于 机”。A 选项:照
顾/处理 + 机 B 选项:指向/提到 + 机 C 选项:喜欢上/开始从事 + 机
。根据语境及搭配的含义,只能选择 D 选项。(turn to 在阅读 也很常见, 定记
下来哦~)

参考译 :
Strangers are inherently unfamiliar to us, so we are more likely to feel anxious when
communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances. To avoid this
uneasiness, we turn to our phones.

我们本来就对陌 不熟悉,因此与朋友或熟 相 ,我们与陌 交流时更有可能会感到

做,所以才会 虚拟哦。 家当成固定 法记忆就 ~】

只要知道四个选项的意思,看懂了原 基本就不会有纠结的情况。

参考译 :

those without communication...


A. in turn B. in particular C. in fact D. in consequence

解析:本题应选第三个选项。这段的前半句我们前天讲过哦。“尽管(实验)参与者
并没有期待好的体验,(但是)当他们完成了实验,没有 个 说他们感到不安。”
【提 :这 的实验说的是让那些不愿意与陌 说话的通勤者,在车上与其他 交流。】
第 句紧接着说“事实上,相 于没有交流的通勤,这样的通勤据说令 更加快乐。”

四个选项中 A. in turn 我们前 天才强调过表 “轮流; 相应地,转 ” B. in particular 尤


其;C. in fact 事实上,确切地说 (注意:既可以表 转折,也可以表 递进); D. in
consequence 因此,结果。

此处根据含义,选择“事实上,确切地说”最为合适。根据逻辑关系,既不存在 A 所表
达的顺序关系,也不存在 B 所表达的强调;更不存在 D 项的因果关系,因此只能选
C。

参考译 :

1. Though the participants didn't expect positive experience, after they went through with
the experiment, "not a single person reported having been embarrassed".

A. assign B. attribute C. transfer D. compare

解析:本题略难,考查对句间逻辑关系的理解和对词义的辨析能 。应选第 个选项。


题眼位于 个 限定性定语从句 ,从句 的 which 指的是前 整个主句,即“在 些 较年
轻的公司中,幸福与投资的关联度 常 ”。 后 句引号中的话是说“决策过程不太程式
化(less codified)和可能存在更年轻也更可能受到情绪影响的管理者”。可见,后 句
是前 句的原因。另外, 家也可以把四个词组都填进去,会发现只有 B 选项讲得通
哦。

The correlationbetween happiness and investment was particularly strong for younger firms,
which the authors attribute to “less codified decision making process” and the possible

解析:

本题只能选择第三个选项。没选对的同学,请仔细看 下下 的翻译:

view, the authors believe it at least hints at that possibility.

尽管 中所作研究并不能证明幸福度促使公司增加投 ,或是使之眼光更为长远,但是,

真题:「上 提 :研究表明,公司所在地附近的 越幸福,公司在研发 的投 就会


越多。」

• It surely seems plausible that happy people would be more forward-looking, and
creative and R&D(研发) more than average.

A. pray for B. lean towards C. send out D. give away

解析:本 直在说幸福指数越 ,公司研发投 越多。 且此句也是在说幸福的


更有前瞻性和创造 ,也会更 研发。根据上下 以及此句语义,这个空 只能填写“更
持;更愿意;更倾向于”这 类的表达,因此,只能选择 B 选项。其他选项分别为“祈
祷研发/分发研发/赠送研发”,放在这 语义都不对。本题唯 的难点就在于 多数同学
不认识 lean towards 这个短语,赶紧记下来吧。

此句 较简单,只解释 下 词吧:
plausible /ˈplɔ:zəbəl/ adj. 看似有理的
forward-looking 有前瞻性的,有远见的
