1.答案:A
参考译文:许多研究已经把早餐和良好的课堂表现联系在一起
题目分析:本题题干的结构比较简单,是一个简单句.
考点分析:本题主要考查选项四个名词的意思的辨析,而这四个词汇都是比较常见的单词.
注意:
1)display的词性除了名词还可以做动词,另外显示,表现这个词义容易被忽视,务必记住.
2)题干中的numerous为形容词,当修饰部单数名词时,翻译为为数众多的,大的,当修饰复数名词时,翻译为许多的意思。
3)题干中的固定搭配link...to...把...和...联系起来.
2.答案：C
参考译文：最成功的退役运动员是那些把他们在体育中获得的经验、技巧应用于生活的其他方面的人.
题目分析：本题题干的结构比较复杂，首先提取主干，主语为The most successful post-career athletes，谓语为are，宾语为those，those后面跟有一个很长的定语从句who can take the identity and life skills they learned in sports and apply them to another area of life.该从句的先行词为those.在这个定语从句中又含着一个很短的定语从句,they learned,其先行词为the identity and life skills.本句话的结构非常复杂,大家务必搞清楚。
考点解析：我认为这道题是这一年中比较难的一道题,无论是题干所考察的语法结构,还是选项词汇都是很容易搞错的.
注意:
1)utilize是四级考试很容易出现的词汇,但考察的不会很深,只需知道它当利用讲就可以了.
2)employ一词除了大家都知道的雇用的意思以外,还可以做使用讲,在做“使用”讲时,宾语多是方法,时间,力量等较为抽象的词.
