囂。他們的聽力可能就不是很好。故選A。

A、veryconcernedabouttheenvironment

warninganimalsnottoapproach

C、behavinglikeananimal

D、beingaverycreativepersonality

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：c.

A、indispensable

B、useful

C、ineffective

D、available

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。短文第一?段第二句指出Yet,withdarkglassesornotthey

findthcmsclvcssufferingfromheadachesandwateringcycs>andevensnowblindness

A^tearscovertheeyeballs

B、theeyesareannoyedbyblindingsunlight

C、theeyesareannoyedbyblindingsnow

D^thereisnothingtofocuson

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。艱據(jù)短文第二段前半部分可知在白雪皚皚的地方，眼睛沒有

可關(guān)注的東西，而為了找到關(guān)注點(diǎn)，目光會不斷地來回轉(zhuǎn)移，這樣就會造成眼珠

疼，眼肌酸痛。故選項D正確。

13、Whentheeyesaresore,tearsareproducedto.

A、clearthevision

BNremedysnowblindness

C、easethisannoyance

D、loosenthemuscles

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。短文第二段倒數(shù)第三句指出Naturebalancesihisannoyance

byproducingmoreandmoreliquidwhichcoverstheeyeballs.由此可知在這種情況

下，由于人身體的自然反應(yīng)，眼睹會分泌液體（眼淚）來緩解這種不舒服。故選項C

正確。

14、Snow-blindnessmaybeavoidedby.

A^concentratingonthesolidwhiteterrain

searchingforsomethingtolookatinsnow-covercdterrain

C、providingtheeyeswithsomethingtofocuson

D、coveringtheeyeballswithfluid

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。趣文最后一段倒數(shù)第二句指出Byfocusingtheirattentionon

oneobjectatatime,themancancrossthesnowwithoutbecominghopelesslysnow

blindorlost.即把目光聚焦在某個東西上，就可以避免雪盲。故選項C正確。

15、Asuitabletitleforthepassagewouldbe.

A、SnowBlindnessandHowtoOvercomeIt

B、Nature'sCurefbrSnowBlindness

C、Oldie,sintheSnow

D^SnowVision

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

A、solidminingwastes

B、theslurryinwhichthewasteisstored

C>theradongasthatisemittedbythewaste

D^theuraniumthatisrecoveredintheminingoperations

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：c

知識點(diǎn)。析：推斷題。選項中的內(nèi)容在文中均有提及，但是從危害性上講，選項

A、B、D都沒有直接說到它們的害處，而文中第三段講到Uncoveredpilesof

tailingsgiveoffradioactiveradongas.Onceintheair,thegasfindsitswayintothe

watersupplyandthefoodchain.故可推斷出這種放射性氣體才是最有害的。故選項

C正確。

17、Thecentralideaofthepassageistopointoutpotentialproblemsregarding.

A、effectsofhigh-levelradiation

B、operationofnuclearpowerplants

C、falloutfromtheexplosionofunclearweapons

D^varioussourcesofradioactivewastes

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點(diǎn)解析：主旨題。作者在短文第一句就指出了主題：Themostpressingnuclear

energyissueisthedisposalofnuclearwaste.關(guān)鍵詞是"核廢料"nuclearwaste0故選

項D正確。

18、Accordingtothepassage,allofthefollowingaresourcesofradioactivewaste

EXCEPT.

B、nuclearfusionexperiments

C^nuclearpowerplantoperation

D^uraniumminingoperations

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。作者在第三段提到核廢料的來源有：Powerplantsandbomb-

makingarcnottheonlysourcesofwaste.Uraniumminingandmillingoperations...?

然沒有提到B選項的內(nèi)容，故選B。

19^Accordingtothepassage,theterm"uraniumminetailings'*refersto.

A、theuraniumthatistakenfromamine

B>thepondsthatholdliquidradioactivewastes

C^solidwastesthatresultfromtheminingofuranium

D^dangerousradongasthatescapesfromuraniummines

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點(diǎn)解析：詞匯題。坦文第三段中間提到Uraniumtailingsaresolidmaterialsin

thcslurry(orwaterymixturc)ofdepletedore——bearingrock；chemicals,andliquids

thatresultfrommilling.意思是：鈾廢料是加工所產(chǎn)生的由廢棄的礦巖石、化學(xué)物

和液體所組成的流質(zhì)混合物中的固體物質(zhì)。tailings在這里指“殘渣，廢料工故選

項C正確。

20、Theword"evaporate"(Line7,Para.3)means.

A^steam

strengthen

C、flowout

D、harden

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點(diǎn)解析：詞匯題。根據(jù)上下文來推測詞義。根據(jù)ihepondsareleflto

evaporate,uncoveringpilesofdriedtailings可判斷出由于池塘里的液體蒸發(fā)沒有

了，廢料才露了出來。故選項A正確。

3、[C3]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：E

4、[C4]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：J

5、[C5]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：K

是唯一的例外，故選exceplion。

7、[C7]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

8、[C8]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點(diǎn)解析?：此詞應(yīng)該為動詞。“獨(dú)立”的意思即為保持自己的尊嚴(yán)，不犧牲自己的

尊嚴(yán),故選sacrifice。

9、[C9]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：0

知識點(diǎn)解析：從前面可以看出作者認(rèn)為乞丐是在出賣自己，而流浪漢不是，可見作

者對于兩種人的態(tài)度是不同的.這里相對比的就是人們通常看不起流浪漢。把他們

與乞丐混為一談，故選contempt,意為“輕視，蔑視”。

10、[C10]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：I

知識點(diǎn)解析：后面提到流浪漢的自由，而通常人們是喜歡自由的，可見人們會羨慕

15、[C5]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點(diǎn)解析：這里需要一個動詞構(gòu)成定語從句修飾foodpantry,且foodpantry是單
