問題1選項

A.are

B.be

C.were

D.is

【答案】D

【解析】考查主謂一致。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，本句是不定式做主語，也就是參觀動物園這件事為主語，所以謂語動詞應(yīng)該為單數(shù)，首先排除選項A和C；句子時態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時，所以選項D正確。

【答案】第1題:C

第2題:D

第3題:D

第4題:A

【解析】1.判斷推理題。由題干關(guān)鍵詞“assumptionsaboutclock”定位到文章第一段“Allhedidwastobuildapendulumclockthatallowedpeople,forthefirsttimeinhistory,tokeeptrackofhoursandminutesaccurately.Yes,itwillgetalotofattentionaroundtheglobeonNewYear’sEve,butthatistheexception.”可知他只是建造了一個鐘擺鐘，使人們有史以來第一次能夠準確地記錄小時和分鐘。在除夕夜，它會得到全世界的關(guān)注，但這是一件異常的事?？膳袛喑鰰r鐘的普及和被關(guān)注是發(fā)明者未能預(yù)料的事情，故選項C符合題意。

2.判斷推理題。由題干關(guān)鍵詞“Switzerland，Brazil”定位到文章第二段“InSwitzerland,clocksaresloworfastbyanaverageofjust19seconds.InBrazil,onemanwasmorethanthreehoursoffwhenhetoldLevineitwas‘exactly2:14.’”，可知在瑞士，時鐘的平均快慢只有19秒，而在巴西，有個人休息了三個多小時，但他卻告訴萊文時間是2:14。下文繼續(xù)列舉了一系列一些例子，體現(xiàn)出不同國家的時間觀念。可判斷出作者列舉瑞士和巴西的例子，是為了說明瑞士人相比巴西人有更強的時間觀念。故選項D符合題意。

3.判斷推理題。由A項“developingworld”定位到文章倒數(shù)第二段“Andclockworshipappearstobespreadingtothedevelopingworld，wherevendorshawkwatchesoncitystreets.”可知，對鐘表的崇拜似乎正在向發(fā)展中國家蔓延，在那里，小販們在城市街道上兜售手表。可判斷出發(fā)展中國家的人越來越崇拜鐘表，時間觀念也越來越強。故選項A符合文意，可排除。B項文章沒有提及，可排除。由C項“Mexico”定位到文章第一段“...showingupontimeiscauseforridiculeinMexico.”，可知在墨西哥，準時赴約會遭到人們的嘲笑。故選項C符合文意，可排除。由C項中的關(guān)鍵詞“Burma”定位到原文第一段“MonksinBurmaknowitistimetogetupwhenthereisenoughlighttoseetheveinsintheirhands…”可知，對于緬甸的僧侶們來說，當(dāng)有足夠的光線看到他們手上的血管時，就該起床了?？膳袛喑鼍挼榈臅r間觀念并不強，也不是按照某個時間發(fā)生的時間來衡量時間的。故選項D符合題意。

4.判斷推理題。由題干關(guān)鍵詞“West”定位到文章倒數(shù)第三段“LevineseemstothinkthattheWestisbecomingmoredevotedtotheclockwitheachpassingminute.”可知Levine似乎認為，隨著時間的流逝，西方國家對時鐘的關(guān)注越來越多。第四段中也提及“InParis,youmightsetabusinessmeetingfor3p.m…”在法國巴黎，你可以把商務(wù)會議安排在下午三點?？膳袛喑鑫鞣饺耸欠浅Ｊ貢r的，會按鐘表的時間來辦事。故選項A符合題意。

【答案】第1題:D

第2題:D

第3題:B

第4題:D

第5題:D

【解析】31.判斷推理題。題干“美國國家航空航天局（NASA）是因為什么開始關(guān)注碎片的問題”，可定位到文章第2段ItwastheexplosionsofderelictrocketsthatfirstdrewNASA’sattentiontodebris.（正是廢棄火箭的爆炸引起了NASA對碎片的注意。）由此可知，是因為火箭的爆炸引起了NASA的注意，排除C選項“剩余燃料泄漏，火箭落到地球上”；那么是什么原因?qū)е铝吮?？繼續(xù)看后文。第2段第2句Deltarocketsleftinorbitafterdeliveringtheirpayloadsbeganblowingup.（留在軌道上的德爾塔號火箭在運送完負載后開始爆炸。）由此可知，并非火箭所運載的物品燃燒導(dǎo)致了爆炸，因為爆炸發(fā)生在火箭運載物運送完之后，排除A選項“火箭所攜帶物品的燃燒導(dǎo)致了爆炸”；第2段第3句Aninvestigationshowedthatthebulkheadsseparatingtheleftoverfuelswereprobablycrackingasaresultoftherocket’spassinginandoutofsunlight.（一項調(diào)查顯示，隔離剩余燃料的艙壁破裂可能是因為火箭在陽光照射下進出。）由此可知，陽光照射導(dǎo)致燃料艙艙壁破裂，排除B選項“火箭的一部分斷裂，導(dǎo)致了爆炸”，因為火箭并沒有斷裂；再根據(jù)后一句NASA的建議leftoverfuelsbeburnedattheendofaflight（剩余燃料在飛行結(jié)束時燃燒掉）推斷，火箭爆炸與剩余燃料有關(guān)?？偟膩碚f，陽光照射導(dǎo)致燃料艙艙壁破裂，艙壁破裂導(dǎo)致剩余燃料被陽光照射，剩余燃料被陽光照射之后導(dǎo)致火箭爆炸，D選項“剩余燃料被加熱導(dǎo)致了火箭爆炸”符合題意。因此，本題最佳選項為D。

32.詞義推測題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞“vented”定位到原文第2段第4句NASAbeganrecommendingthatleftoverfuelsbeburnedattheendofaflight,orthattheybeventedintospace.（NASA開始建議剩余燃料在飛行結(jié)束時燃燒掉，或者____到太空中。）A選項venture“冒險”；B選項launch“發(fā)射（導(dǎo)彈、火箭等）”；C選項explode“爆炸；激增”；D選項discharge“排出；放出；流出”，原文中“vented”的主語是剩余燃料，把四個選項帶入原句，只有D選項符合句意。因此，本題最佳選項為D。

33.判斷推理題。根據(jù)題干“從第3段中可推測出____”定位到第3段。A選項“美國政府對碎片污染問題表示了深切關(guān)注”，定位到第3段第1句FormanyyearsNASAandtheDepartmentofDefensewereskepticalaboutthedangersofspacedebris.（多年來，美國宇航局和國防部一直對太空碎片的危險性持懷疑態(tài)度。）由此可知，美國政府對碎片污染的態(tài)度是懷疑的，而不是深切關(guān)注，排除A選項；B選項“碎片污染并沒有引起公眾太多的關(guān)注”，定位到第3段最后一句Ifpeoplediedinspace,publicsupportfortheshuttleprogramcouldunravel.（如果有人在太空中死亡，公眾對航天飛機項目的支持可能會瓦解。）由此可知，目前公眾對航天飛機項目還是支持的，而太空碎片污染問題已經(jīng)存在，即現(xiàn)在碎片污染問題的存在并沒有影響公眾對航天工作的支持，公眾關(guān)心的是有沒有人在太空中死亡，B選項的表述與原文相符；C選項“地球被碎片污染的可能性很小”定位到第3段第3句Earth’sorbitseemedtoolargeandemptytopollute.（地球的軌道似乎太大太空曠，無法污染。）首先原文使用了seem“似乎”說明所述觀點并不一定正確，其次，原文講的是地球的軌道而非地球本身，所以排除C選項；D選項“幾乎沒有科學(xué)家認為碎片污染對地球有害”定位到第3段第5句Toitscredit,…whenthehigher-upsatNASAhaven’twantedtohearaboutit.（值得稱贊的是，NASA長期以來一直維持著一個碎片研究項目，由頂尖的科學(xué)家組成，他們堅持指出太空垃圾的長期危害，即使NASA的高層不想聽到這些。）由此可知，頂尖科學(xué)家們認為碎片污染是有害的，只是NASA高層不愿意相信，選項中few使用不正確，排除D選項。因此，本題最佳選項為B。

34.事實細節(jié)題。題干“為了解決碎片的問題，除了____，NASA采用了以下所有方法”。A選項“應(yīng)用新技術(shù)”可定位到最后一段Onereasonforournonchalanceisthatnewtechnologieshavegottenusoutofmanypastscrapes—andmaybetheywillwithorbitaldebris,too.（我們無動于衷的一個原因是新技術(shù)已經(jīng)讓我們擺脫了許多過去的困境——也許也會讓我們擺脫軌道碎片的困境。）由此可知，人們期待新技術(shù)能解決碎片問題，說明NASA正在應(yīng)用新技術(shù)來解決碎片問題，只是能否解決尚未可知，排除A選項；原文第5段第1句Butaddingshieldingandrepairkitswon’tsolvetherealproblem.（但增加防護和修復(fù)設(shè)備并不能解決真正的問題。）由此可知，增加防護和修復(fù)設(shè)備是已經(jīng)采用的方法，所以B選項“給航天飛機加一些保護措施”以及C選項“修理航天飛機的設(shè)備”可排除；D選項“用火箭取代航天飛機”原文并未提及。因此，本題最佳選項為D。

35.推理判斷題。題干“當(dāng)____時，所有私人公司都將處理太空碎片問題”定位到原文最后一段第5句Someindustryrepresentativessaytheywantregulations,butonlyiftheregulationsapplytoeveryoneandcannotbeevaded.（一些行業(yè)代表表示，他們希望監(jiān)管，但前提是這些監(jiān)管適用于所有人，且人們不能逃避監(jiān)管。）由此可知，他們希望所有有關(guān)的人都受到監(jiān)管，且所有的人都必須處理太空垃圾，不能逃避。要做到這一點，只能依靠法律。因此，D選項“法律規(guī)定他們必須這樣做”符合原文表述。A選項“脫軌火箭和衛(wèi)星變得便宜了”可定位到最后一段第3句Butdeorbitingrocketsandsatellitesisexpensive.（但是火箭和衛(wèi)星脫離軌道是昂貴的。）由此可知，私人公司未處理太空碎片問題的一個原因是使火箭衛(wèi)星離軌很貴，但并不能保證便宜下來，所有人都肯定會處理太空碎片問題，排除A選項；B選項“他們的衛(wèi)星太舊了，不能為他們服務(wù)”，原文并沒有相關(guān)表述，排除；C選項“政府制定切實可行的規(guī)定”，可定位到最后一段第2句Fornow,thefederalagenciesthathaveauthorityovercommerciallaunchesarewaitingtoseeiftheprivatesectorcandealwiththeproblemonitsown.（目前，有權(quán)管理商業(yè)發(fā)射的聯(lián)邦機構(gòu)正在觀望私營部門能否自行解決這個問題。）由此可知，政府部希望私人公司能夠自己解決這個問題，所以政府制定切實可行的規(guī)定較難實現(xiàn)，排除。因此，本題最佳選項為D。

4.單選題

）soformally.

問題1選項

A.needn'tdressup

B.didnotneedhavedressedup

C.didnotneeddressup

D.needn'thavedressedup

【答案】D

【解析】考查固定搭配。needn’thavedone意為“不必做的事而做了”。

句意：原來只是一個小型家庭聚會，我們沒必要打扮得這么正式。

5.單選題

）.

問題1選項

A.neednottohurry

B.needn'thavehurried

C.neednottohavehurried

D.didnotneedtohurry

【答案】B

【解析】句意:我們到達火車站時，火車還沒到，所以我們本不必那么匆忙的。

語法題?？疾樘摂M語氣。根據(jù)句意可知空格處為與過去事實相反的虛擬語氣,。needn’thavedone表示“本來不需要做某事卻做了（對過去的虛擬）”，故選B。

【答案】1.B

2.C

3.D

4.C

5.A

【解析】1.

根據(jù)第三段的第一句“Theweakdollarisasourceofhumiliation,foranation'sself-esteemrestsinpartonthestrengthofitscurrency.”美元的貶值是屈辱的來源，因為一個國家的自尊部分在于貨幣的勢能。選項B符合原文，只是換了一種表達方式。

2.

根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容“adecliningdollarmakesimportedfoodmoreexpensiveandexertsupwardpressureoninterestrates.”美元貶值使得進口商品價格上漲，匯率上調(diào)，所以選項C正確。選項A、B和文章內(nèi)容相反，選項D在文中沒有提及。

3.

根據(jù)第四段的最后一句“ManyEuropeansnowapparentlyview...acheapplacetovacation,shopandparty,”第四段的首句說通常歐洲人認為美國是一個傲慢且排外的超級大國，但是隨著美元的貶值，他們認為美國是一個度假購物休閑的好去處。所以選項D正確。

4.

根據(jù)最后一段的倒數(shù)第二句“Soifyou...cancelthatsummervacationtoEnglandandlooktoNewEngland.”選項C與原文描述相符。

5.

根據(jù)這句話的上文，也就是第七段的一二句“Americantourists,however,shouldn'texpectanyreliefsoon.Thedollarloststrengththewaymanymarriagesbreakup-slowly,andthenallatonce.”美國游客不應(yīng)指望很快會有任何緩解。作者講美元的貶值比喻成婚姻，認為美元短時間內(nèi)是不會升值的。onadime是固定短語，意為"短時間內(nèi)"。選項A符合原文。

7.單選題

問題1選項

A.obnoxious

B.obfuscate

C.optimum

D.opulence

【答案】D

【解析】考查形近詞辨析。obnoxious討厭的；obfuscate使模糊；optimum最佳效果；opulence富裕。句意：法國人和美國人在對待金錢，奢華，以及炫富的關(guān)系上大不相同?？崭裉帒?yīng)填入一個和money并列的名詞。

8.單選題

（）fabricsusuallydon’twrinkleasmuchascotton.

問題1選項

A.Symbolic

B.Sympathetic

C.Synthetic

D.Systematic

【答案】C

【解析】考查形容詞辨析。A選項symbolic“象征的；符號的”；B選項sympathetic“同情的；和諧的”；C選項synthetic“綜合的；合成的，人造的”；D選項systematic“系統(tǒng)的；體系的”。句意：合成纖維織物通常沒有棉織物那么容易起皺。由空格后的關(guān)鍵詞“fabrics纖維織物”可知“合成的”符合句意，因此C選項正確。

9.單選題

Hestudiedhardatschoolwhenhewasyoung,which（）tohissuccessinlaterlife.

問題1選項

A.distributed

B.attributed

C.contributed

D.districted

【答案】C

【解析】句意:他年輕時在學(xué)校努力學(xué)習(xí)，這對他晚年的成功有幫助。

考查短語辨析。Contributeto有助于，產(chǎn)生，對…有幫助。

【答案】（1）隨著我們對外層空間理解的加深。我們探索地球以外的地方，利用太空來了解我們的星球的熱情和動力也是如此。

（2）越來越多的國家開始關(guān)注和參與太空事業(yè)。如何以有效和可持續(xù)的方式發(fā)展空間技術(shù)以及如何促進空間發(fā)展方面的全球合作，一直是我們大家的熱門話題。

（3）中國在一些重要的空間技術(shù)領(lǐng)域取得了舉世矚目的成就，已躋身世界先進行列。

（4）使用空間技術(shù)。中國升級傳統(tǒng)產(chǎn)業(yè)，實現(xiàn)低資源能耗、低排放、高效益的有效融合，有利于建設(shè)資源節(jié)約型、環(huán)境友好型、和諧發(fā)展的社會。

（5）面對全球經(jīng)濟衰退，航天界面臨著前所未有的壓力。加強交流合作才是實現(xiàn)共贏的最佳途徑。

問題1選項

A.wehadstayed

B.wewillhavestayed

C.wewouldhavestayed

D.Wehavestayed

【答案】B

【解析】考查時態(tài)。句意：在他到北京來的時候，我們將已經(jīng)來了兩天了。bythetime“在……時候”，這里引導(dǎo)的是時間狀語，應(yīng)當(dāng)遵循主將從現(xiàn)的原則。而從句在這里是一般現(xiàn)在時，所以主句要用一般將來時，所以答案選B。
