- 词汇辨析与语境解析
句意为 “珍妮特性格中的缺陷阻碍了她的职业发展”。“defect” 侧重指人或事物本身存在的、影响整体功能的根本性缺陷,与 “阻碍职业发展” 的语境高度契合;“weakness”(弱点)侧重指能力或性格上的不足,程度较轻;“merit”(优点)与语境矛盾;“shortcoming”(短处)侧重指行为或习惯上的小缺点,不涉及本质性问题,故排除 A、B、D。
- 考点延伸:考博英语词汇题常考查近义词的语义侧重,需重点区分 “缺陷类” 词汇(defect/weakness/shortcoming/flaw)的使用场景,避免语义混淆。
- 词汇辨析与语境解析
句意为 “在这种强烈的压力下,部分岩石甚至变成了液体”。“intense” 强调程度 “强烈的、剧烈的”,可修饰压力、温度等抽象或具体事物,符合 “岩石液化” 的极端语境;“intensive”(集中的、密集的)侧重强调数量或频率,如 intensive training;“weighty”(沉重的、重要的)多修饰责任、问题等;“bulky”(庞大的、笨重的)修饰体型或物体体积,故排除 A、B、D。
- 考点延伸:形近词(intense/intensive)是考博英语高频考点,需通过 “语义侧重 + 搭配场景” 记忆,避免因形式相似导致误选。
- 词汇辨析与语境解析
句意为 “田须真从日本初到美国时,不确定自己能否融入美国文化,但几个月后他便感觉自在了”。“assimilate” 意为 “使同化、融入(文化、群体)”,是跨文化场景的核心词汇;“absorb”(吸收)侧重指吸收物质或知识,不涉及文化融入;“transform”(转变)强调形态或性质的改变;“digest”(消化、理解)侧重指处理信息或食物,故排除 A、B、C。
- 考点延伸:跨文化相关词汇(assimilate/integrate/adapt)在考博英语中频繁出现,需结合 “融入程度” 区分语义,如 assimilate 强调完全融入,integrate 强调兼顾自身特色的融入。
- 词汇辨析与语境解析
句意为 “一些研究人员认为,某些人的神经系统特别容易受到干热风的影响,他们就是我们所说的天气敏感人群”。“vulnerable to” 为固定搭配,意为 “易受…… 影响的、易受…… 伤害的”,符合 “天气敏感” 的语境;“subjective”(主观的)、“subordinate”(从属的)与语境无关;“liable to” 虽有 “可能的” 之意,但侧重指 “有…… 倾向的”,不强调 “易受外界影响”,故排除 A、B、C。
- 考点延伸:固定搭配 “be + 形容词 + to” 是考博英语词汇题的核心考点,需积累 “vulnerable to”“prone to”“susceptible to” 等近义搭配的语义差异。
- 词汇辨析与语境解析
句意为 “俱乐部内的酒吧仅供会员专用”。“exclusive” 意为 “独家的、专用的”,符合 “俱乐部会员专属” 的场景;“extensive”(广泛的)、“inclusive”(包含的)、“comprehensive”(全面的)均无法体现 “专属使用” 的含义,故排除 A、C、D。
- 考点延伸:形容词的场景适配性是考博英语词汇考查的重点,需结合 “专属 / 公共、广泛 / 具体” 等语义维度区分词汇,如 exclusive 与 inclusive 为语义反义词,常成对考查。
Everyone has a moment in history, which belongs particularly to him. It is the moment when his emotions achieve their most powerful sway over him, and afterward when you say to this person "the world today" or "life" or "reality", he will assume that you mean this moment, even if it is fifty years past. The world, through his unleashed emotions, imprinted itself upon him, and he carries the stamp of that passing moment forever.
For me, this moment-four years in a moment in history-was the war. The war was and is reality for me, I still instinctively live and think in its atmosphere. There are some of its characteristics: Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the president of the United States, and he always has been. The other two eternal world leaders are Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin. America is not, never has been, and never will be what the song and poems call it, a land of plenty.
Nylon, meal, gasoline, and steel are rare. There are too many jobs and not enough workers, Money is very easy to earn but rather hard to spend, because there isn't very much to buy. Trains are always late and always crowded with "service men". The war will always be fought very far from America, and it will never end. Nothing in America stands still for very long, including the people who are always either leaving or on leave. People in America cry often. Sixteen is the key and crucial and natural age for a human being to be, and people of all other ages are ranged in an orderly manner ahead of and behind you as a harmonious setting for the sixteen-year-olds of the world.When you are sixteen, adults are slightly impressed and almost intimidated by you. This is a puzzle finally solved by the realization that they foresee your military future: fighting for them. You do not foresee it. To waste anything in America is immoral. String and tinfoil are treasures, Newspapers are always crowed with strange maps and names of towns, and every few months the earth seems to lurch from its path when you see something in the newspapers, such as the time Mussolini, who almost seemed one of the eternal leaders, is photographed hanging upside down on a meat hook.

31. Which statement best depicts the main idea of the first paragraph?

- 解题思路
- 定位原文第一段中心句 “Everyone has a moment in history, which belongs particularly to him”,明确段落核心是 “每个人都有一个特别属于自己的历史瞬间”,与选项 D 完全一致。
- 排除干扰:A(现实是自己创造的)、B(时间如河流)在第一段未提及;C(情感具有力量)是段落提及的细节(情感对瞬间的塑造),并非核心主旨,故排除 A、B、C。
- 考点延伸:主旨题需锁定段落首句或总结句,避免被细节信息误导,优先选择涵盖范围最广、与中心句直接对应的选项。
- 解题思路
- 定位原文第二段 “The war was and is reality for me, I still instinctively live and think in its atmosphere”,明确作者对战争记忆深刻的原因是 “战争过去和现在都是他的现实,已融入生活与思维”,与选项 B 一致。
- 排除干扰:A(罗斯福是总统)、C(没有太多可买的东西)是战争时期的具体特征,并非记忆深刻的核心原因;D(战争永远不会结束)是作者对战争的主观认知,而非记忆深刻的成因,故排除 A、C、D。
- 考点延伸:细节题需关注 “因果逻辑”,通过 “because”“reason” 等关键词定位原文因果关系句,避免选择 “现象描述” 而非 “原因解释” 的选项。
- 解题思路

- 排除干扰:B(因是士兵所以觉得真实)与 “you do not foresee it” 矛盾;C(觉得战争不真实)与 “The war was and is reality” 冲突;D(战争对国内民众极具破坏性)是对战争影响的泛泛描述,未体现作者的个人感受,故排除 B、C、D。
