參考答案

1.B解析：根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞FordMotorCo，crucialpoint定位到原第一標題下第四段第一句：...betterbatterieswerekey．可知性能更好的電池是研究電能汽車的關(guān)鍵所在，故選B項。

2.leading/guiding/directingleading/guiding/directing解析：根據(jù)“SocialNecessityMakesBirdsSmart”部分第二段“Someravenscertainlyapplytheirintelligenceforthegoodoftheflock．．．Thisbirdleadstheotherstohisfoodstore，apparentlysharinghisfindingwiththerestoftheflock．”可知北美的這些烏鴉引導同伴到自己發(fā)現(xiàn)食物的地方，讓大家一起分享食物。故此題答案可以填寫“l(fā)eading/guiding/directing”。

3.usesthesamereadingrateusesthesamereadingrate解析：由“RateAdjustment”部分第一段“Poorresultsareinevitableifthereaderattemptstousethesamerateforalltypesofmaterialandforallreadingpurposes，Hemustlearntoadjusthisratetohispurposeinreadingandtothedifficultyofthematerial．．．Theeffectivereaderadjustshisrate；theineffectivereaderalwaysusesthesame．”可見效率高的閱讀者會根據(jù)閱讀的目的和閱讀材料的難易調(diào)整閱讀速度。而效率低的閱讀者往往用同樣的速度應對所有的閱讀目的和閱讀材料。故此題正確答案是“usesthesamereadingrate”。

4.B解析：本題可采用排除法解題。該段首句中的Inthe1950s...annual100，000tons可排除C項、D項；結(jié)合第三句中的...139，000tonsin1980可排除A項，放B項為答案。

5.A

6.B解析：由題干中的plantandanimalspecies定位到文章首段末句Today，tropicalrainforests．．．a(chǎn)rehometooverhalfofthePlanet'splantandanimalspecies．題干中的VirtuallyallPlantandanimalspecies“幾乎所有的動植物”與原文中的overhalfof“一半以上”相矛盾；virtually“事實上，幾乎”。因此題干表述錯誤。

7.B解析：根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞mostparents，preference，olderboy定位到原文第二標題下第二段。根據(jù)第一句：人們發(fā)現(xiàn)65%的母親和70%的父親在大多數(shù)情況下對更偏愛最大的那個孩子。但并不是因為最大的孩子容易感到憂傷，相反倒是小一點的孩子容易感到憂傷，因此題干與原文意思不一致。

8.B解析：根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞use和random定位到第二小標題下第三段：Becarefulnottodiscardaspecificwordbecauseyousimplyconcludethatit'sofnouseandthengettinganotherwordinstead．不能輕易地認為某個詞沒用就用別的詞來替代它，即需要努力找到它與現(xiàn)在狀況的聯(lián)系。故選B項。

9.abiggerclearerscreen/Onthebiggerscreenabigger,clearerscreen/Onthebiggerscreen解析：參見"WaystoCopewithInterruptions"小節(jié)部分第4段:Onthebiggerscreen,somepeoplecompletedthetasksasmuchas44%morequickly...Czerwinskihadneverseenasinglechangetoacomputersystemsosignificantlyimproveauser'sproductivity.thecleareryourscreen,thecalmeryourmind.

10.B解析：文章第三段中指出“AndwhenIsaylanguageshavetobedesignedtosuithumanweaknesses，Idon'tmeanthatlanguageshavetobedesignedforbadprogrammers．"計算機程序語言應該適應人類的弱項，而不是適應糟糕的程序員。

11.D解析：根據(jù)“TheBBC'sEfforts”部分第二段可知“Hammocking”是將有深刻思想、有價值的節(jié)目穿插在大眾流行劇之間(schedulingwonhymaterialbetweensmashhits)，BBC這樣安排的目的是讓觀眾有機會觀看高質(zhì)量的節(jié)目(inanefforttogetpeopletowatchimprovingstuff)。

12.twostepstwosteps解析：答案依據(jù)為本文PaintLikeaProWithTheseTechniques標題下第二、三段。

13.A解析：根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞maindifficulty，makingfriends，acrosscountries定位到原文第三段第二句：Thedifficultywhenstrangersfromtwocountriesmeetisnotalackofappreciationoffriendship，butdifferentexpectationsaboutwhatconstitutesfriendshipandhowitcomesintobeing．即來

14.betabeta解析：由題干中的drugs和preventmigraines定位到第一個小標題的第5點內(nèi)容的第2、3句Antidepressantdrugsandbeta-blockershavebeenshownto…Thesedrugsworkinthebodytoblockwhatarecalledthebetaeffects，oneofwhichisexpansionofthebloodvessels．此處需填入名詞性成分。題干中的Thedrugsusedtopreventmigraines和原文中的Antidepressantdrugsandbeta-blockers指的都是預防偏頭痛的藥物；題干中的whichmaycausethebloodvesselstoexpand與原文中的oneofwhichisexpansionofthebloodvessels屬同義轉(zhuǎn)述，因此原文中effects的定語就是答案。

15.A解析：根據(jù)題干中的信息詞theAntarctic和sealevels定位到第一個小標題下的第一段，可知南極的冰非常多，如果冰全部融化，全球海平面就將大幅上升，故該句表述正確。

16.DeathControlDeathControl解析：第6段1—2句人口劇增的原因是那種被稱為“死亡控制”的知識和實踐的普及。

17.YY解析：根據(jù)題干中的信息詞Peninsula和inretreat定位到第二個小標題下的第二段，可知DavidVaughan團隊的研究報告表明，半島附近絕大多數(shù)冰川——經(jīng)過研究的244個冰川中的87%都在融化，故該句表述正確。

18.C解析：同義轉(zhuǎn)述題。題干中helpedtheincrease實際上是原文openedthedoortothegrowth的同義轉(zhuǎn)述。文中明確指出．社交媒體為新型工作機會的增長打開了一扇大門。由此可見正確答案為C)。

19.promoteconnectionandcreativity

20.TherearefewrenownedBritishcomposersTherearefewrenownedBritishcomposers解析：同義轉(zhuǎn)述題。本段第一句說英國人對于音樂的熱愛在很多人眼里都很陌生，那是因為英國沒出幾位有名的音樂家。題干只是把原句的用詞進行了一下改變。

21.D解析：從選項來看，對話涉及對Colin的演講的評價；問題問的是女士的觀點。女士先是肯定了Colin敢在一百多人面前演講的勇氣，然后說can'tthinkofanyotherthatcoulddothejobjustaswell，這表明她認為把，addressingsomanyaudience這個因素考慮在內(nèi)的話，Colin的演講已經(jīng)相當不錯了(Colin'sspeechwasgood)。address在這里意為“(尤指正式地)向…講話”，后接講話對象。

22.D解析：對話中女士提到Ifeltsleepy(我昏昏欲睡)，DDull對應sleepy，故為答案。

23.B解析：信息明示題。女士問在街上流浪的是哪些人，男士說有失業(yè)的，有精神病患者，還有一些酒鬼，并沒有提及家庭破裂者，排除B。

24.badly

25.D解析：M:ThisisCharleyspeaking.CouldyoutellmeMr.Smith'sschedulefortomorrow?I'dliketomeethimathisconvenience.

W:Letmesee.Well,he'llgotoseehismotherat8andattendameetinginthemorning.And,hewillbeinhisofficethewholeafternoon.

29.desert

30.A

31.B

32.decreaseddecreased解析：decrease是“減少、降低”的含義，與increase正好反義。

33.B解析：關(guān)鍵聽懂女士的回話：asabirthdaypresentfrommyparents。此題較易。

34.C解析：Inhisthirddream,whatdidhedo?

35.Theconsumergroupinsupportingitscase.hadcitedasurveyinwhichshopperswereshownafoodlabelTheconsumergroup,insupportingitscase.hadcitedasurveyinwhichshopperswereshownafoodlabel,

36.C解析：文章是關(guān)于一名古典吉他演奏者的吉他終于失而復得的故事。這名吉他演奏者于一年前在出租車上遺失了他的吉他。故本題答案為C。

37.artisticartistic解析：artistic意為“藝術(shù)的”。空格位于物主代詞和名詞之間，可知應填形容詞修飾名詞，從前文painting可大致推測詞義。

38.A解析：M：IwanttotaketheverynextflightouttoAlbany．
