LiMing4.參考答案：Bbomb意為“炸彈，原子彈”；boom意為“激增，繁榮”，指人口等的突然增長；production意為“生產(chǎn)，產(chǎn)品”；prosperity意為“繁榮，景氣”，指繁盛的狀況。baby修飾所填之詞，根據(jù)后面的a43percentincreaseinthenumberofteenagers可知，應(yīng)選boom。5.參考答案：

到2100年，地球的溫度預(yù)計將上升0.8到3.5攝氏度。這似乎不太多，但這樣的升溫將導(dǎo)致海平面大幅度上升，足以使多達一億人的生命受到威脅。

科學(xué)界首次達成共識：人類的行為至少要對這一問題負(fù)部分責(zé)任—尤其是像二氧化碳這樣的溫室氣體的排放，二氧化碳是由木材、煤以及石油產(chǎn)品的燃燒釋放的。減少有害氣體的排放

只是聯(lián)合國政府間專家小組明顯感到樂觀的一個方面。短期內(nèi)，沒有證據(jù)證實那樣做有困難。只靠提高效率就能降低30%的能源需求，實際上也無需額外的花費，并且在發(fā)達國家，減少多達60%的有害氣體排放“在技術(shù)上是可行的”。從長遠(yuǎn)看，隨著全球轉(zhuǎn)向利用那些更便宜、對環(huán)境影響更小的能源，有害氣體的排放將會減少。6.參考答案：

我聽到許多家長抱怨說他們處在青春期的孩子們叛逆，但愿如此。這個年齡的你們應(yīng)該不再膩著父母。你們應(yīng)該學(xué)會自立。但是看看現(xiàn)在的孩子是怎樣叛逆的?，F(xiàn)在的青少年似乎都采取同樣的方式表明與父母意見的不一致，他們當(dāng)中大多數(shù)人都“抓著(或試圖抓著)別人的手”相互打氣壯膽，而不敢獨立行動。

他們聲稱想隨心所欲地穿著，但都穿著一樣的衣服。他們本想在音樂方面標(biāo)新立異，結(jié)果卻扎堆般地聽著一樣的音樂。他們?nèi)绱诉@般思考和行動的理由是，大家都在這么做。他們爬出了蠶繭殼，卻鉆進了更大的繭殼里。

對青少年來說，要逆流行浪潮而上走自己的路變得越來越難。企業(yè)牢固地開拓了一個青少年市場。如今，每個青少年都能從廣告中了解自己該擁有什么和成為什么樣的人?，F(xiàn)今許多家長都高度贊賞他們的孩子在同齡人當(dāng)中的好人緣。這一切都成為青少年想找到適合自己發(fā)展道路的障礙。

但是障礙值得跨越，道路值得追尋。你也許想聽古典音樂而不是去參加聚會。別人都在收集唱片的時候你或許想收集石頭。你或許有不愿馬上與同學(xué)分享的想法。那么，去做吧。找到自我，做真實的自己。你會受到那些尊重你本來面目的人的歡迎。這才是唯一真正重要的人緣。7.參考答案：Aanythingbut意為“絲毫不，決不”；nothingbut意為“不外乎，只有”；ratherthan意為“勝于”；morethan意為“超過”。根據(jù)句子可知，本句話應(yīng)該表示肯定意思，所以應(yīng)該選用anythingbut。8.參考答案：Domit意為“遺漏，疏忽”；attach意為“貼上，使依戀”；afford意為“承擔(dān)得起，負(fù)擔(dān)得起”；run意為“跑，參賽”。run/takearisk(s)是固定搭配，意思是“冒險”。9.參考答案：Cputup意為“舉行，上演”；keepup意為“繼續(xù)，保持”；standupto意為“經(jīng)得起，勇敢地抵抗”；lookupto意為“仰望，尊敬”。所填之詞的主語是falsebanknotes，賓語是closeexamination(嚴(yán)格的檢驗)，所以應(yīng)該選用standupto。10.參考答案：[參考譯文]

西部平原的定居者不得不對付與社會隔絕的狀態(tài)。農(nóng)民們聚居在一個村子里，每天走到附近田里勞動的歐洲模式在美國西部很少見。而各種奇特的土地劃分迫使農(nóng)村居民相互分散居住。1862年的田產(chǎn)法案和為推動西部殖民采取的其他措施，為要住在自己的田產(chǎn)上發(fā)展的人們提供了免費或廉價的小塊土地。因為小型農(nóng)戶們獲得的大部分田產(chǎn)和其他小塊土地是長方形的——一般占地160英畝——最多有四個家庭毗鄰而居，不過，只有當(dāng)他們都集中在四角邊界的同一個交匯處時，上述情況才能發(fā)生。事實上，農(nóng)民們通常住在離開邊界線的地方，農(nóng)房與農(nóng)房之間至少相隔半英里。相鄰的土地上時常無人居住，使鄰里間更加疏遠(yuǎn)。

許多觀察家寫文章描述西部平原生活的單調(diào)與孤獨。男人通過在戶外工作和偶爾旅行去賣糧或買補給品來逃避這種生活的壓抑。但是婦女們因家務(wù)纏身、足不出戶而更加與世隔絕，因而有作者評論說，“她們比奴隸好不到哪兒去，沒完沒了地從事著做飯、洗衣、縫縫補補這些沉悶單調(diào)的家務(wù)勞動。結(jié)果，精神病院三分之一的病人都是農(nóng)夫的妻子?！?1.參考答案：我們?yōu)槭裁匆獜氖抡軐W(xué)研究?人類自身有什么使我們致力于沉思，即思考那些看似不會產(chǎn)生實際效果的問題?可以說從最終的結(jié)果來看，哲學(xué)思考的確產(chǎn)生了廣泛的實際影響。比如在政治領(lǐng)域，約翰·洛克的著作對美國民主的發(fā)展影響重大，而馬克思主義使一種激進的新的政府形式得以誕生。也可以說使我們有別于動物世界和未開化人類的正是這種知性的嘗試，即便這種思考是出于對自身的興趣也有理由證明其價值。但是我們從事哲學(xué)思考有著一個更深層的原因，那就是我們橫豎逃避不了經(jīng)常面臨的問題。劍橋大學(xué)的路德維格·維特根斯坦將我們的處境比作瓶中的蒼蠅，想飛出瓶子卻不知如何辦到。哲學(xué)的功能和目的是給蒼蠅指明出路。對我們來說，這意味著我們像蒼蠅一樣感到受困和難以逃出困境。就我們的情況而言，這只蒼蠅代表著一定程度的無知和難以解決的問題，而我們寄希望于哲學(xué)來幫助我們找到出路。12.參考答案：Moreandmorepeopletakesmokingasahabit,andevenregardsmokingaspersonalfreedom.Theyclaimthatitisnotfairforthegovernmenttobansmoking.Tomyknowledge,smokingisdefinitelyharmfultohumanbeings,andourgovernmentmusttakeimmediatemeasurestoprohibitsmoking,particularlyinpublicplaces.
