2015年5月30日托福閱讀真題預(yù)測(cè)答案解析

Passage 1: …Feeding， courtship， preproduction， and even “rest” are　carried out while in constant motion. As a result， practically every aspect of　the body form and function of these swimming “machines” is adapted to enhance　their ability to swim。

The word enhance in the passage is closest in meaning to
　　○ use
　　○ improve
　　○ counteract
　　○ balance

解析：enhance 在的文章句子中出現(xiàn)表示因果關(guān)系的短語 as a result，根據(jù)前一句中的原因，我們可以得出 enhance 在此句中的意思為 improve。

Passage 6: With the advent of projection， the viewer’s relationship with　the image was no longer private， as it had been with earlier peepshow devices　such as the Kinetoscope and the Mutoscope， which was a similar machine that　reproduced motion by means of successive images on individual photographic　cards instead of strips of celluloid. It suddenly became public –an experience　that the viewer shared with dozens， score， and even hundreds of others. At　the same time， the image that the spectator looked at expanded from the　minuscule peepshow dimensions of 1 or 2 inches (in height) to the life-size　proportions of 6 or 9 feet。

The word expanded in the passage is closest in meaning to
　　○ was enlarged
　　○ was improved
　　○ was varied
　　○ was rejected

解析：expanded 所在的文章句子中出現(xiàn)從“1 or 2 inches”到“6 or 9 feet”，因此我們可以輕而易舉得出 expanded 在文章中上下文意思為 was enlarged。

Passage 8: One cognitive theory suggests that aggravating and painful　events trigger unpleasant feelings. These feelings in turn， can lead to　aggressive action， but not automatically. Cognitive factors intervene. People　decide whether they will act aggressively or not on other people’s motives.

Supporting evidence comes from research showing that aggressive people often　distort other people’s motives. For example， they assume that other people　mean them harm when they do not。

The word distort in the passage is closest in meaning to
　　○ mistrust
　　○ misinterpret
　　○ criticize
　　○ resent

解析：distort 所在的文章句子后出現(xiàn)“ for example”， 根據(jù) for example 中的內(nèi)容，我們可以得出 distort 在此句中的意思為 misinterpret。
