參考答案

1.canbeeasilyassociatedwithyoupersonallycanbeeasilyassociatedwithyoupersonally解析：由題干中birthdates和yourphonenumbers可定位到第五個(gè)小標(biāo)題下第二段第二條MakeyourPINaseriesoflettersornumbersthat...suchasbirthdates，initials，housenumbersoryourphonenumber．此處要求填入謂賓語(yǔ)成分作because的原因狀語(yǔ)從句。根據(jù)原句意思可判斷破折號(hào)前后內(nèi)容構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系，即不能使用生日或個(gè)人的電話號(hào)碼作密碼是因?yàn)樗鼈兙苋菀椎嘏c個(gè)人聯(lián)系起來(lái)，因此canbeeasilyassociatedwithyoupersonally為本題答案。

2.someGermanarcheologistssomeGermanarcheologists解析：本題的關(guān)鍵詞為Inthel880's和showtheexistenceof...，鎖定原文：Theninthe1880'ssomeGermanarcheologistsuncoveredsomethingthatshowedtheexistenceofagreatcivilization.,答案由此得出。

3.B

4.twotwo解析：文章第九段的開(kāi)頭第一句話就說(shuō)明了有兩種契約仆役。因此，此空填two。

5.nosummericeatallnosummericeatall解析：根據(jù)題干中的信息詞U.S.NationalSnowandIceDataCenter和60years定位到第四個(gè)小標(biāo)題下的第二段，可知從美國(guó)國(guó)家雪冰數(shù)據(jù)中心的科學(xué)家那里得知，海上冰的覆蓋率在逐年降低，他們統(tǒng)計(jì)出縮減率現(xiàn)在是每十年縮減大約8%，也就是說(shuō)不到60年，北冰洋上就沒(méi)有夏冰了，由此可得答案。

6.C解析：在小標(biāo)題B.PopulationPoliciesinDevelopedNations下面談到一些發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家的鼓勵(lì)生育的政策，但沒(méi)有給出任何暗示表明發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家將做出更大的努力來(lái)增加他們的人口，因此此題的答案為NG。

7.C解析：本題涉及到電視節(jié)目數(shù)量的比較。該段提到早期的電纜系統(tǒng)只能收到33個(gè)頻道，隨著技術(shù)的進(jìn)步，當(dāng)頻寬增加到550MHz時(shí)，電視頻道增加到91個(gè)，也就是說(shuō)，與早期的電纜系統(tǒng)相比，電視頻道增加了58個(gè)，故答案為[C]。

8.B解析：文章第一自然段第四句buttheyhavenotalwaysperformedthesephysicalactivitiescompetitively．即人們不總是在比賽中才進(jìn)行此類(lèi)活動(dòng)。

9.B解析：前四段主要講一些人不愿意做運(yùn)動(dòng)的原因及給他們的建議，第五段提到Butmanyactivitiescanbedonebyyourself…，第六段提到Herearesome
