10、钮、换水,然后取出衣物、晾干、熨平。把全部衣服打包送到39洗衣房反而更加省事,而且也未必更贵,由于不需要任何资本投资。同样.假如你真的想节省时间,你就不会用电动搅拌机来做蛋糕,而是去商店里买。假如你将女性杂志所培育出来的居家女性形象与那些给它们供应经费的期刊、广告里所宣传的商品相比拟的话,你就会意识到树立形象在商业上是多么有用。你需要当心地建立一种40平衡:假如你展现了一个省力的小器具,那么,紧接着下一页就要展现一个41简单的要诀;绝不能做出这种示意,即女人可以找到一份工作,而是要培育她自身的价值意识,42强调她作为家庭主妇时富有创意的一面。因此,我们预备好现成的蛋糕粉,烹饪者只要自己加个鸡蛋
11、进去就能做出“那种家人宠爱的、迷人的家庭烘焙的43风味”。还有可以手工编织的图案,或者更糟糕的是,可以用编织机织出的编织图案,而在编织机刚被44引进时,这些东西非常流行(很难知道谁会穿上那些快速生产出来的毛衣,它们缺乏手工编织的毛织物的优势)。自动化炊具的广告图片上是漂亮的年轻母亲带着孩子到公园玩,而不是45职业女性在赶公交车土班前预先预备好晚饭的场景。36.D语法推断:分析句子主干可知,空格前后是一个完整的句子,因此,可以推断本空缺少一个副词作状语,修饰其后的形容词。语义推断:符合上述语法条件的两个选项中,certainly意为“的确,无疑地”,excessively意为“过度地”。此处含有
12、强调的意味,表示“的确可以轻松些”,故只有certainly符合文意,正确答案为D。37.G语法推断:分析句子主干可知,该空前面是does not,推断此处需要填一个谓语动词,且应为动词原形。语义推断:符合上述语法条件的选项中,只有动词amount符合文意,即“但所节约出的时间总量却实在没有太多”,应选G。38.F语法推断:分析句子主干可知,该空缺少一个过去分词,由于该空前面是两个并列的完整句子,后面是由“名词+过去分词”构成的并列的独立主格构造。语义推断:备选的分词有removed(被去掉)、introduced(被引进)和handled(被处理)三个。依据其前的名词strains(污渍)可
13、知,只有removed符合文意。39.A语法推断:分析句子主干可知,to a前是一个完整的句子,通过分析空格处所在短语to a_可知,这里缺少一个单数名词。语义推断:备选的名词有laundry(洗衣房)、flavor(味)、calculation(计算)和balance(平衡)四项。由此处的to可知,空格处填入的词应表示地点,应选laundry。40.O语法推断:分析句子主干可知,本句缺少一个名词,作句子的主语,且该名词是单数形式,由于前面有不定冠词a来限制。语义推断:结合39题的“语义推断”,符合语法条件的选项剩下flavor、calculation和balance三项。分别代入原文后可知,
14、只有balance符合文意。strike abalance为固定搭配,意为“取得平衡”。41.I语法推断:分析句子主干可知,本句缺少一个形容词来修饰后面的recipe。语义推断:符合上述语法条件的单词有indignant(生气的,生气的)、complicated(简单的)和professional(专业的;职业的)三个。留意本句前后存在比照,前面说“省力的”,后面应是与其相对,且能修饰recipe.故complicated是正确答案。42.C语法推断:分析句子主干可知,该空需要一个动词原形,与前面的foster并列。语义推断:符合上述语法条件的动词原形有:exaggerate(夸张)和emph
15、asize(强调),结合本处语境和语体颜色。emphasize更贴切。43.K语法推断:分析句子构造可知,本空需要一个名词,作前面的谓语动词produce的宾语,且该名词为单数形式,由于其前面的修饰语是that。语义推断:结合39和40题的“语义推断”,在剩下的单数名词中,只有navor(风味)符合句意。44.M语法推断:本句空格前为句子主语和系动词be,推断空格处应填入一个动词的分词形式或形容词,再结合空格前的first,推断应填入过去分词。语义推断:符合上述语法条件的过去分词剩下handled和introduced,结合此处语境,introduced(被引进)更贴合文意。45.L语法推断:分析句子构造可知,该空所在的句子是一个由by和notby并列构成的被动语态构造。本空需要一个形容词来修饰后面的名词women,它与前面的pretty young构成比照。语义推断:剩余的选项中,符合上述语法条件的只有indignant和professional,结合此处和语境,只有professional(职业的)更贴合文意。
