全国各地许多大学生毕业之后涌向北京找工作,那么他们的境况如何呢?《蚁族》一书向读者展现了他们鲜为人知的生活状况。
16.C 由第二段的第一句“The book,which is…”可知,《蚁族》是一本描绘了北漂大学毕业生生活的书。
17.A who引导定语从句修饰some young people,who作从句的主语。
18.A 《蚁族》把大学生描述为像蚂蚁那样聪明。describe“描述”,符合语境。
19.B 这些北漂大学毕业生就像蚂蚁,头脑聪明,但是作为个体,他们微不足道。meaningless意为“无意义的,不重要的”,符合语境。
20.B 这本书是根据对北京约600位低收入大学毕业生历时两年的采访写成的。be based on意为“以……为基础(或根据)”。
21.D 这本书是9月中旬出版的。come out意为“出版”,符合语境。
22.C 由第三段中的“how many of these employed college graduates are leading a happy life”可知,截至9月1日,611万大学毕业生中74%的毕业生找到了工作。
23.B 由下一句“……这些找到了工作的大学毕业生当中,有多少生活过得幸福”可推知,上述统计资料基本没有反映出这些毕业生的真实处境。
24.A Lian一直想知道,这些找到了工作的大学毕业生当中,有多少生活过得幸福。wonder意为“想知道”,符合语境。
25.A Lian希望这本书能够成为一扇展现他们生活的窗户,他们的故事很少有人知道。
26.B 这本书以北京市郊的几个大学毕业生聚居村为背景。setting表示“(戏剧、小说等的)背景”,符合语境。
27.D 那里有许多大学毕业生。a large number of表示“许多”,修饰可数名词的复数,故D项正确。deal的用法为a great/good deal of,表示“许多”,修饰不可数名词;plenty不与冠词连用,plenty of表示“许多”;a large amount of表示“许多”,修饰不可数名词。
28.A 由下文可推知,这些大学毕业生多数在中小企业工作。故答案为A。
29.A 每月挣不到2000块钱。
30.C 由冒号后面的内容可知,他们住在一起是因为这样花钱少。
31.D 由下文“has around 3,000 ______ villagers”可知,唐家岭是一个小村庄。
32.A 由下文“but has become a home for more than 50,000 migrants”可知,外来人口已超过5万人,故大约3000人应是本地的村民。original意为“原来的,起初的”,与语境相符。
33.C 由上下文可知,5万多外来人口多数是全国各地高校的毕业生。graduate from意为“毕业于”。
34.B 这些学生住的都是当地农民修建的五六层高的楼房,每个房间在10平方米左右,两三个人挤一间。这里说的是学生住的地方,即宿舍。
35.A 多达七八十人共用一间卫生间和厨房。share“共用,合用”,符合语境,故选A。
