A.theharmofthenegativehabitsB.theimportanceofsettinggoalsC.thedifficultyofmakingachievementsD.therelationshipbetweenfailureandsuccess答案：A解析：推理推斷題。作者把有壞習(xí)慣的人比方成踩著剎車開車的人,表明白壞習(xí)慣的害處。27.Whichofthefollowingdoestheauthoragreewith?A.Weshouldoftenlistentoinspiringmessages.B.Weshoulddrivewiththebrakeoff.C.Ourhabitshaveagreatinfluenceonourfuture.D.Ifyouhavegoodhabits,youaresuretosucceedinthefuture.答案：C解析：推理推斷題。A、B兩項過于片面,不具概括性;D項過于肯定。C項的表述最佳。C導(dǎo)學(xué)號95364030Whichpetsloveitsownersmore,catsordogs?ThankstoanewstudydonebyDr.PaulZak,wehavetheanswernow.Dogswereproventoloveushumansfivetimesmorethancats.Butunlikecommandslike“stay”,“sit”and“beg”,theresultisn’tthatsimple.Muchlikeacat,it’smuchmorecomplex.Zaktookbloodsamplesfrom10catsand10dogsbeforeandaftertheyplayedwiththeirowners.Hetestedeachanimaltwiceandcheckedthesamplesoftheirlevelofoxytocin(催產(chǎn)素).Zaksaid,“It’sachemicalweproduceinourbrainwhenwecareaboutsomeone.It’swhatmammalsproducetobondwiththeiryoung.”AccordingtoZak,humansproduceoxytocinwheneverwehaveapositiveexperience.Accordingtohim,weproduce15to25percentoxytocinwhenwehaveapleasantinteractionwithastranger,25to50percentwhenweareinteractingwithsomeoneweknow,andifweproduce50percentormore,weareinteractingwithsomeonewereallylove,likeachildoraspouse.DuringZak’sexperience,dogs,onaverage,produced57.2percent.“Soyourdogreallylovesyoualot,”Zaksaid.“Butwhatmakesthissoamazingisthattheoxytocintheyproducedisforanotherspecies,nottheirown.Thefactthatthisiscrossspeciesisreallycool.Theirbrainsaretellingthemthattheyloveus.”Cats,ontheotherhand,onlyproduced12percentandasmanyas50percentofthecatstesteddidn’tproduceanyoxytocinatall.Butifyouareacatlover,don’tsigh.Zakpointsoutthatcatsarelesssocialthandogsandareextremelyterritorial.Zak’slab,wheretheexperimentsweredone,wasanunfamiliarplaceforthecats,creatingamorestressfulsituationforthecatsthanthedogs.Whenaskedifthecatswouldhavedonebetteriftheyhadbeentestedinthecomfortoftheirownhomes,Zaksaid,“Ithinkso,oratleastmorecatswouldhaveproducedmoreoxytocin.”28.WhatdidDr.PaulZakmainlyfind?A.Catsaremorecomplexthandogs.B.Dogsarehonestwiththeirowners.C.Catsgetalonebetterwiththeirowners.D.Dogslovetheirownersmorethancatsdo.答案：D解析：細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第一段中的“Dogswereproventoloveushumansfivetimesmorethancats.”可知Zak的探討成果就是狗愛主子賽過貓。29.Whatdoweknowaboutoxytocin?A.Itisassociatedwithourloveforothers.B.Weproduceitmostwhenwe’reloved.C.Humansproducewhentalkingtoothers.D.Mammalsproduceitwheninteractingwithinspecies.答案：A解析：推理推斷題。依據(jù)其次段中的“It’sachemicalweproduceinourbrainwhenwecareaboutsomeone.”可以推斷,催產(chǎn)素與我們對別人的愛有關(guān)。30.Whatdoesitmeanifweproduceplentyofoxytocin?A.We’reinteractingwithastranger.B.We’reinteractingwithaclosefriend.C.We’refeelingtrulylovedbysomeone.D.We’recaringaboutthosewetrulylove.答案：D解析：細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第三段的陳述可知,催產(chǎn)素釋放的越多,說明你對互動對象的愛越多,因此選D項。31.WhydoesZakthinkthisdiscoveryamazing?A.Becauseheneverthoughtdogscouldproduceoxytocin.B.Becauseheneverthoughtoxytocincouldreachsuchalevel.C.Becausehedidn’texpectdogstowincatsinthisexperiment.D.Becausehedidn’texpectdogsproducemuchoxytocinforhumans.答案：D解析：推理推斷題。依據(jù)第四段中的“Butwhatmakesthissoamazingisthattheoxytocintheyproducedisforanotherspecies,nottheirown.”可知讓Zak覺得不行思議的是催產(chǎn)素的產(chǎn)生可以針對不同物種的互動對象。DStartinginl972,theNationalParkServiceestablishedapolicyforforestfirescalledNaturalBurn.Itwasacknowledgedthatsomeforestfires,suchasthosecausedbylightningwerenecessaryforforeststomaintainbalancedecosystems,sothefireshouldbeallowedtoburn.However,abigfireinYellowstoneNationalParkin1988causedthispolicytobeabandonedsincethefirewasinitiallyallowedtoburnyetsoonoutofcontrol.Asaresult,thefireof1988destroyedmuchofYellowstone,whichisAmerica’soldestandmostbelovednationalpark.Massiveareasofplantsweredestroyed,andlargeemptyspacesandacresofburnedandblackenedtreesgreetedvisitors.Theriversandstreamswerechokedwithash,andtheecosystemoftheparkwaschangedbeyondrepair.Inaddition,greatnumbersofanimalswerekilledbythefiresthatburnedoutofcontrol.Thefiresweredrivenbyhighwinds,movingasmanyastenmilesaday.Manysmallanimalsdiedintheflames.Thefires’rapidadvancesgavethewildlifelittlechancetoescape.Eventoday,fewofthesesmallforestanimalshavereturnedtoliveinthepark.Intheyearsimmediatelyfollowingthefires,thenumbersofvisitorsdeclinedrapidly.Noonewasinterestedinseeingablackenedandtreelessparkonvacation.Yellowstonehadpreviouslybeenfamousforitsamazingviewsanduniquegeologicalformationssuchasthegeyser(噴泉)OldFaithful.ButnowitsreputationasAmerica’swonderisdamagedpermanently.32.NaturalBurnwasadoptedbecausesomeforestfireswere.

41.A.strange B.hopefulC.literary D.cultural答案：A解析：由下文對這個傳統(tǒng)的描述來看,這個傳統(tǒng)很獨特,所以四個詞中只有strange(驚奇的)符合語境。hopeful“有希望的”;literary“文藝的,書本的”;cultural“文化的”。42.A.find B.makeCplete D.buy答案：C解析：這里指的是在冬天到來前就要完成房屋的修建,所以用complete。倒數(shù)第三段的“Byfall,Marchadfinishedhishome.”中有同義詞finish。43.A.help B.encourageC.scold D.persuade答案：A解析：倒數(shù)第三段中的“Thefirstwinterstormdestroyedhishomeandhefrozeto56.Thevillagersmournedforhim.”告知我們,由于Paul修建的房子不好,被凍死了,人們都來哀悼他,但沒有幫助他度過寒冬,由此可以看出,在這一驚奇的傳統(tǒng)中,別人是不能供應(yīng)幫助的,所以選help。

44.A.winter B.summerC.autumn D.spring答案：D解析：第一段告知我們,成年的男孩是在每年的年初(Atthebeginningofeveryyear)拿到一塊地和資金的,四個選項中只有spring(春天)符合語境。45.A.exchanged B.receivedC.recognised D.advised答案：B解析：對應(yīng)第一段提到的wasgiven,所以這里選received。exchange“交換”;recognise“認(rèn)出,承認(rèn)”;advise“建議,忠告”。46.A.girls B.jobsC.houses D.presents答案：C解析：前文告知我們,他們要建的是房子,這是在外出考察,自然是找最好的房子和房主交談以獲得如何建好房子的建議。文中有多處同義詞home的出現(xiàn)。47.A.rooms B.drinksC.attention D.advice答案：D解析：每一位房主都很樂意供應(yīng)應(yīng)他們(關(guān)于如何建好房子的)建議,所以選advice?？梢詮南乱欢沃械摹癝oonhehadsomanygreatideasthathebeganto50someofthem.”中的ideas得到啟示。

48.A.expected B.gatheredC.created D.understood答案：B解析：Marc參觀了幾棟房子,把房主們供應(yīng)的建議搜集起來,所以選gathered“搜集”。第49題空后的“continuedcollectingmoreideas”有同義詞collect出現(xiàn)。expect“期盼,預(yù)料”;create“創(chuàng)建”;understand“理解”。49.A.similarly B.finallyC.however D.furthermore答案：C解析：Marc起先建房,而Paul卻仍在接著搜集如何建房的建議,兩者之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,所以用however。50.A.forget B.believeC.replace D.doubt答案：A解析：由于搜集的建房屋的好方法太多了,以至于忘了一部分,所以用forget。believe“認(rèn)為,信任”;replace“代替”;doubt“懷疑”。51.A.because B.althoughC.but D.so答案：C解析：“Hehadseveralfalsestarts”和“hishomegraduallyrosefromhisland”之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,所以用but。52.A.repair B.rebuildC.sell D.improve答案：D解析：倒數(shù)其次段“Eachyear,Marcsearchedforothergoodideashecouldusetomakehisownhomelookbetter.”中的makehisownhomelookbetter說的就是他所建的房子可以在建成后隨時改良,所以用improve。repair“修理,修補(bǔ)”;rebuild“重建”;sell“賣”。53.A.conversations B.achievementsC.struggles D.arguments答案：A解析：由其次段中的“Ineachvillage,theyfoundthenicest46andtalkedtotheowners.”可知,應(yīng)當(dāng)選conversations。

54.A.drove B.rushedC.flew D.moved答案：B解析：第一場雪使Paul意識到建房子所剩的時間不多了,所以自己便急匆忙地往回趕,所以選rush“沖,奔,急匆忙地趕”。55.A.weak B.funnyC.small D.amazing答案：A解析：由后面的“Thefirstwinterstormdestroyedhishome”可以看出,由于動工時間較晚,時間緊,他修的房子不堅固,所以選weak。funny“滑稽的”;small“小的”;amazing“令人驚訝的”。56.A.blindness B.deathC.sadness D.illness答案：B解析：由下一句“Thevillagersmournedforhim.”可知,村民們都去哀悼他,由此可知他被凍死了,所以選death。57.A.experienced B.lovedC.survived D.spent答案：C解析：這里指的是Marc由于修好了房子,順當(dāng)度過了冬天,所以用survive。58.A.brought B.earnedC.contacted D.raised答案：D解析：句意:(后來)他成了村里的領(lǐng)導(dǎo),哺育了一家人,過著華蜜美滿的生活。raise“哺育”,符合語境;假如把A項后加上up,也是正確的。59.A.slow B.easyC.dangerous D.special答案：B解析：上面的故事告知我們,建議和想法的找尋是簡潔的,而實踐才是困難的,所以選easy。60.A.realize B.bringC.collect D.apply答案：D解析：這里指的是最好的想法的“應(yīng)用”,所以選apply。其次節(jié)(共10小題;每小題1.5分,滿分15分)閱讀下面材料,在空白處填入1個適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。導(dǎo)學(xué)號95364031Themajorconstructionworkontheworld’slongestcross-seabridge,whichconnectsZhuhaiinGuangdongProvincewithHongKongandMacao,61.(complete)lastyear.
