第1題【單選題】

【概括大意】Wignailcalculatedthe"killingefficiency"forthesevolcanoesby

comparingtheproportionoflifetheykilledoffwiththevolumeoflavathatthey

produced.Hefoundthatsizeforsize,oldereruptionswereatleast10timesas

is.

A、KillingPowerofAncientVolcanicEruptions

B、AccountingfortheKillingPowerofOlderEruptions

C、CalculationoftheKillingPowerofOlderEruptions

D、AMassExtinction

【正確答案】C

【答案解析］本段第一句話是說：Wignailcalculatedthe"killingefficiency"forthese

volcanoes...；Wignall計(jì)算了這些火山的"滅絕效率”......；其中killingefficiency與

killingPower意思差不多，屬于同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換，因此選擇B或C,但是accountfor意

思是：（在數(shù)量方面）占；說明（原因等）不符合句意，因此不選擇B。

定不容易降解，其中的某些微量重金屬能使人致癌或中毒?？梢钥闯銎渲行膬?nèi)容

第4題【單選題】

5p.m.today.

A、wouldbe

B、be

C、willhavebeen

D^couldbe

【正確答案】B

【答案解析】本題考杳名詞從句中的虛擬語氣。譯文：我已經(jīng)從老板那得到指令,

2

這項(xiàng)工作在今天下午五點(diǎn)鐘之前要完成。詳細(xì)解答：that引導(dǎo)同位語從句，說明

order的內(nèi)容。同時(shí)從句要用虛擬語氣，從句謂語用should+動(dòng)詞原形的形式，

should可以省略。

第5題【單選題】

【閱讀判斷】Oneproblemwiththisdesignisthatthemousegetsdirtyastheball

rollsoverthesurfaceandpicksupdirt.Eventuallyyouhavetocleanyourmouse.Q:

Whenanordinarycomputermousegetsdirty,ithastobereplacedwithanewone.

A、True

B、False

C、NotGiven

【正確答案】B

【答案解析】答案選Bo題中說鼠標(biāo)臟了，就得換用新的。這一說法與原文不符。

原文說的是鼠標(biāo)臟了，可以擦干凈再用。ithastobereplacedwithanewone與

youhavetocleanyourmouse不符。所以選B。

第6題【單選題】

第10題【單選題】

【I閱讀選擇】Tom,anear-sightedyoungman,wentonablinddatewithagirl.The

twoweresatisfiedwitheachother.Andtheyexchangedtheirtelephonenumbers.

WhatcanwelearnaboutTom?

A、Tommadeagoodimpressiononthegirlatfirst.

B、ItwasthefirsttimethatTomhaddatedagirl.

C、Tomwasblind.

D、Tomwashandsomeandpopularwiththegirls.

【正確答案】A

【答案解析】答案選A。細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。從Thetwoweresatisfiedwitheachother

可知，相親過后，兩人對(duì)對(duì)方都很滿意，所以A選項(xiàng)正確，湯姆第一次見對(duì)方就

留下了很好的印象。B項(xiàng)所表述內(nèi)容在文中找不到根據(jù)，不能判斷這是湯姆第幾

次約會(huì)。根據(jù)文章描述，湯姆只是near-sighted,遠(yuǎn)不到盲了的地步。文章僅講

述了湯姆和某一個(gè)女孩相親的精力，對(duì)他的個(gè)人魅力以及是否受女孩歡迎并未提

及。

（rare的最高級(jí)形式）與infrequently"很少發(fā)生，少有"表達(dá)相同的意思。
