B、Theirabilitytopurifyairwasimprovedalot.

C^Theirconcentrationswerechangedbychemicalreactions.

D、Theirquantitiesintheairweremainlyfromhumanactivities.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。艱據(jù)carbonmonoxide可定位到第二段Astheearth

developed,theconcentrationsofthesepollutantswerealteredbyvariouschemical

reactions；theybecamecomponentsinbiogeochemicalcycles.Theseserveasanair

purificationschemebyallowingthecompoundstomovefromtheairtothewateror

soil.“隨著地球的發(fā)展，這些污染物的濃度會(huì)隨著各種化學(xué)反應(yīng)而發(fā)生改變：他們

成為r生物地球化學(xué)循環(huán)的組成部分。這些循環(huán)使得這些化合物從空氣中轉(zhuǎn)移到水

中或土壤中，從而達(dá)到凈化空氣的作用?！焙虲選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容一致，其中changed和原

文altered為同義轉(zhuǎn)換，所以答案選C。

A、Itisthemostseriouspollutionintheenvironment.

B、Itmayoverburdenthenaturalsystemthatpurifiespollutants.

C、Itwillreactharmfullywithnaturallyoccurringpollutants.

D^Itwilldamageareasoutsidethelocalizedregions.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)human-generatedairpollution將答案定位到第三段In

thislocalizcdregion,humanoutputmaybedominantandmaytemporarilyoverload

thenaturalpurificationschemeofthecycles.”在這些局部區(qū)域.污染物可能主要來(lái)自

人類活動(dòng)。而且可能會(huì)暫時(shí)超出自然循環(huán)的凈化能力。''可知選項(xiàng)B是對(duì)原文的同

義轉(zhuǎn)述，其中overburden和原文的overload互為近義詞。所以答案選B。

B、sulphurdioxideislessdangerousthancarbonmonoxide

C^thenumericalvalueofnoxiouschemicalsintheairisnotthekeyindefining

pollution

D、itneedsagreatincreaseinconcentrationfornoxiouschemicalsintheairtobe

pollutants

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。艱據(jù)原文第三段最后三句“實(shí)際上，濃度值并不能告訴我們

什么，除非我們能知道這個(gè)濃度值相對(duì)于這種物質(zhì)在該地區(qū)自然狀態(tài)下的濃度的增

長(zhǎng)幅度。比如.當(dāng)每百萬(wàn)個(gè)氣體分子中含有UX個(gè)二氧化硫氣體分子時(shí)，人體就

會(huì)明顯感到不適。這個(gè)濃度大約是正常濃度的400倍。而一氧化碳的正常濃度是百

萬(wàn)分之零點(diǎn)一.在不超過(guò)百萬(wàn)分之十五時(shí)就不算污染物。”可知化學(xué)物質(zhì)的濃度值

不是界定污染物的關(guān)鍵.和選項(xiàng)C的表述一致。所以答案選C。

5、Thepassagemainlydiscusses.

A^howgaschemicalsbecomeairpollutants

B、howmuchdamageairpollutantscancause

C、thedefinitionofanairpollutant

D、thequantityofcompoundsaddedtotheatmosphere

A、Heavymetalsinlabteststhreatenchildren,shealthinBerkeley.

B、Berkeleyresidentsarequitecontentedwiththeirsurroundings.

C、TheairqualityaroundBerkeley'sschoolcampusesispoor.

D、ParentsinBerkeleyareover-sensitivetocancerriskstheirkidsface.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。取據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞USAToday,定位至第一段第二句，巡查

表明那些本自鳴得意的地方，如伯克利綠色村莊卻被指出是全國(guó)空氣質(zhì)量最差地區(qū)

之一。C選項(xiàng)poor與原文theworst為近義替換。A項(xiàng)僅是伯克利附近空氣質(zhì)量差

的一個(gè)表現(xiàn)。B項(xiàng)與原文大意恰好相反。原文并沒(méi)有提及D項(xiàng)。因此，正確答案

是Co

7、WhatresponsedidUSAToday'sreportdraw?

A、Aheateddebate.

Popularsupport.

C^Widespreadpanic.

D^Strongcriticism.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案:A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。題干問(wèn)報(bào)道帶來(lái)的影響。可定位至第二段whenthereport

cameout...haveengagedinafiercebattle?heateddebate與原文的afiercebattle相對(duì)

應(yīng)。即引發(fā)了激烈的討論。選項(xiàng)D為干擾項(xiàng)，屬于過(guò)度推測(cè)。

8、Howdidparentsfeelinthefaceoftheexperts'studies?

A、Theyfeltverymuchrelieved.

B、Theywerefrightenedbytheevidence.

C>Theydidn'tknowwhotobelieve.

D、Theyweren'tconvincedoftheresults.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答梟:c

知識(shí)點(diǎn)露析?：細(xì)節(jié)題。題干問(wèn)家長(zhǎng)對(duì)專家研究的反應(yīng)。原文第二段第二句Withall

sidespresentingtheirownexpertsarmedwithconflictinzscientificstudies,whom

shouldparentsbelieve?在各方專家發(fā)表自己的觀點(diǎn)后，家長(zhǎng)應(yīng)該相信誰(shuí)?言下之意

指，家長(zhǎng)不知道應(yīng)該相信誰(shuí)。因此，正確答案是C,

9、Whatistheviewofthe2004reportinthejournalPaediatrics?

A^Itisimportanttoquantifyvariousconcretehazards.

B、Dailyaccidentsposeamoreseriousthreattochildren.

C、Parentsshouldbeawareofchildren'shealthhazards.

D、Attentionshouldbepaidtotoxicchemicalexposure.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推斷題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞2004report定位至最后一段第三句。2004

年報(bào)告指出，與有毒的叱學(xué)物質(zhì)相比，家長(zhǎng)更應(yīng)擔(dān)心火災(zāi)、車(chē)禍和溺水。后三者都

屬于日常生活中的事故，由此可推斷，報(bào)告認(rèn)為這些會(huì)給孩子帶來(lái)更大的威脅，正

確答案是B。選項(xiàng)D中toxicchemicalexposure雖也在文中出現(xiàn)，但文中用比較級(jí)

結(jié)構(gòu)指出，火災(zāi)、車(chē)禍和溺水比這一點(diǎn)更需要被投入更多關(guān)注。因此，正確答案是

Bo

10、Ofthedangersineverydaylife,theauthorthinksthatpeoplehavemosttofear

from.

A^theuncertain

B、thequantifiable

C、anearthquake

D、unhealthyfood

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：觀點(diǎn)題。題干意思，在H常生活中所碰到的危險(xiǎn)中，作者認(rèn)為最應(yīng)該

擔(dān)心的是什么。最后一段，It'sthedangersparentscan't一andmaynever-quantify

thatoccurallofsudden.用強(qiáng)調(diào)句指出，應(yīng)該擔(dān)心的是家長(zhǎng)沒(méi)注一到的，即A,未

確定的事件。

C^Toidentifyallmenareborntobeequal.

D、Toillustratetheimportanceofenvironmentsuchasfamilyandsociety.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案:D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析?：推斷題。題干問(wèn)，第二段作者引用舞臺(tái)這個(gè)例子的目的是什么。此題

需聯(lián)系上下文，這個(gè)例子前一句，表明雖然我們關(guān)注特殊兒童的需求，但也發(fā)現(xiàn)我

們需要談?wù)撈涮幘?。例子后一句，表明特殊兒童生活的家庭與社會(huì)環(huán)境是他們成長(zhǎng)

與發(fā)展的關(guān)鍵。例子中舞臺(tái)上的主角代指特殊兒童，配角和舞臺(tái)布景便代指家庭與

社會(huì)環(huán)境。所以.正確答案是D。

12>Whydoespublicpaymuchattentiontoexceptionaleducation?

A^Exceptionaleducationisapartofcompulsoryeducation.

B、Thebeliefthatexceptionalchildrenshoulddeveloptheirpotentialsaswell.

C^Exceptionaleducationhasbeenunderestimatedforalongtime.

D^Exceptionaleducationisareflectionofsociety.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。題干問(wèn)，公共關(guān)注特殊教育的原因是什么。定位于第三段最

后——句?！癟hegreatinterestinexceptionalchildren...deservetheopportunitytofully

developlheircapabililies.”選項(xiàng)B,特殊兒童也應(yīng)發(fā)展他們潛力的信念，符合原文

意思。選項(xiàng)A與C未在原文提及。選項(xiàng)D不是關(guān)注特殊教育的直接原因。

13、WhichoneofthefollowingactionshasNOTbeentakentofacilitateexceptional

education?

A、Courtshaveconfirmedtherightforexceptionalchildrentoreceiveeducation.

Governmentshavemadepoliciestoprotectexceptionaleducation.

C、Schoolsareforcedbycourtstotakeactionstooffereducationforexceptional

children.

D^Schoolshaveappropriatedprogramsandinstructiontosatisfytheneedof

exceptionalchildren.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。題干問(wèn)，為了促進(jìn)特殊教育，哪一項(xiàng)還沒(méi)有做?定位于第四

段。原文“courtdecisionshaveconfirmedtherightofaUchildrentoanappropriate

education”對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng)A：“orderedthatpublicschoolstakenecessarystepstoprovide

education”對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng)C；“schoolsaremodifyingtheirprograms,adaptinginstructionto

children”對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng)D。選項(xiàng)B,政府制定政策來(lái)保護(hù)特殊教育，未在文中提出。因

此,應(yīng)選B。

14、Theword''substantially"intheparagraph4isclosestinmeaningto.

A^stunningly

B、generally

C、adequately

D、fundamentally

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：c.

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：語(yǔ)義題。最后一段最后一句，學(xué)校修正教學(xué)項(xiàng)目、調(diào)整教學(xué)，適應(yīng)那

些不能從常規(guī)教育中獲得充分收益的學(xué)生?！皊ubstaMially”（充分地）與選項(xiàng)

C“adcquatcly”互為近義詞。選項(xiàng)A,驚人地；選項(xiàng)B,總體上；選項(xiàng)D,基本上，

均不符合。所以，正確答案是C。

15、Whatisthemainideaofthispassage?

A、Thenecessityofadaptingeducationtoexceptionalchildren.

B、Thespecialtyofexceptionalchildren.

C^Theintroductionofeducationprograms.

D、Theresponsibilitiesofgovernmentforthoseexceptionalchildren.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：主旨題?？衫门懦?。選項(xiàng)B,特殊孩子的不同之處，文中第一段

僅僅一筆帶過(guò)，說(shuō)特殊兒童與同齡人有所不同；選項(xiàng)C,介紹教育項(xiàng)目，文中最后

一段只提到學(xué)校調(diào)整教育項(xiàng)目以適應(yīng)特殊兒童的需要；選項(xiàng)D,政府的職責(zé)，并未

在文中提及。所以選項(xiàng)A,為特殊兒童制定教育的必要性，為正確答案。

16、Whatistherelationshipbetweenpoetryandmusicaccordingtothepassage?

A^Theyareseparatedfromeachother.

B、Whethertheirrelationshipiscloseornotisunderdebate.

C、Theyareinanintimaterelationship.

D、Theirrelationshipinnotcloseenough.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C-

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。題干問(wèn)詩(shī)歌與音樂(lè)之間的關(guān)系。文章一開(kāi)頭就提到，“The

closerelationshipbetweenpoetryandmusicscarcelyneedstobeargued.”理解這句話

的關(guān)鍵在于“scarcely”（幾乎不），意為詩(shī)歌與音樂(lè)之間的密切關(guān)系都無(wú)需爭(zhēng)論。即便

不認(rèn)識(shí)scarcely,根據(jù)此段后文講兩者的共同點(diǎn)與相互襯托配合，也可知關(guān)系緊

密。

17、Whatdocs"theothcr"（Line3,Para.l）rcfcrto?

A、Music.

Poetry.

CNRhythm.

D、Figure.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：語(yǔ)義題。原文第一段第二句指出，“Bothareauralmodeswhich

employrhythm,rimeandpitchasmajordevices；tothesetheoneaddslinguistic

meaning,connotationandvarioustraditionalfigures,andtheothercanadd,atleastin

theory>alloftheseplusharmony,counterpointandorchestrationtechniques.“再結(jié)合

上一句詩(shī)歌與音樂(lè)的緊密關(guān)系，bolh便指這兩者。原句意為，“詩(shī)歌與音樂(lè)都是聽(tīng)

覺(jué)模式，需要運(yùn)用韻律、諧韻和抑揚(yáng)頓挫等方式：這一類可以加之以語(yǔ)言含義、內(nèi)

涵和許多傳統(tǒng)人物，另一類，至少在理論上講，可以運(yùn)用上述所有外，還可以加上

和聲。對(duì)位和管弦樂(lè)等技法由此可看出，ihese指代詩(shī)歌，iheother指代音樂(lè)。

18、WhichoneofthefollowingisNOTTRUEaccording,tothepassage?

A、Thesongsoftroubadourscanbeappliedaslyricinpoetry.

B、Beowulfhasbeenchantedbypeoplewithharpist.

C>Poemsandsongsarebasicallysame.

D、ThemajordifferenceofgydinBeowulfandthesongsliesinaestheticsinsteadof

time.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。選項(xiàng)A關(guān)鍵詞為“troubadours”（游吟詩(shī)人），可定位于第一段

最后一句，意為“英語(yǔ)詩(shī)歌中的吟唱傳統(tǒng)主要源自游吟詩(shī)人”。選項(xiàng)B關(guān)鍵詞

“harpist”（豎琴）,可定位于第一段,“toaharpist'saccompaniment”（伴隨豎琴的伴

奏）。選項(xiàng)C,第二段第二句，意為“作為文學(xué)作品的吟唱詩(shī)歌與流行歌的歌詞從根

本上是相同的：詩(shī)歌選項(xiàng)D,定位于第二段第一句，“oneoftimeratherthan

aesthetics”，選項(xiàng)與原文意思恰好相反。

19、Theword"prerequisite"inparagraph3isclosestinmeaningto.

A、prescription

B、premise

C^preference

D、prediction

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：語(yǔ)義題。原文第三段第一句意為，“好的詩(shī)歌和歌詞最重要的前提是

作者應(yīng)該忠實(shí)于自己的視野和自己創(chuàng)作詩(shī)歌的想象力”。選項(xiàng)B"premise”與

“prerequisite”（前提，先決條件）為近義詞替換。此題也可用排除法，

“prescription”（處方）、“preference”（偏好）、“prediction”（預(yù)測(cè)）代入原文,意思均不符

20、Whatisthemajordifferencebetweenanexcellentlyricsandapopularsong

A、Mostwritersofpopularsongsarenotloyaltohimselfbuttooutsideworld.

B、Thematerialsandcontent.

C^Excellentlyricshaveimpliedmeanings.

D、Popularsongslackoforchestrationtechniques.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析；細(xì)節(jié)題。艱據(jù)題干定位于第二段第一句與最后一句。第一句明確指出

好的詩(shī)歌與歌詞的重要前提是作者應(yīng)忠實(shí)于自己。而最后一句，"...thewriters

andsingersofthelyricsofpopularsongshaveseemedoftenlobeincapableof

personalvision…”意為，流行歌曲的作詞人和演唱者常常不能忠實(shí)于自身視野。由

此可知好的歌詞與流行歌曲的區(qū)別。

1、Whaldowelearnabuul(hepresenlWubbusiness?

A、Webbusinessisnolongerinfashion.

B、Business-to-businesssalesarethetrend.

C>Webbusinessisprosperousintheconsumermarket.

D、ManycompaniesstilllackconfidenceinWebbusiness.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第2段開(kāi)頭的Nonetheless表明該句與首段提到的內(nèi)容有轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，

而D與該句內(nèi)容相同，為本題答案。

2、EstablishedbusinesspartnersarepreferredinWebbusinessbecause.

A>theyarcmorecreditablethanothers

B、theyspecifytheproductstheywant

C、theyhaveaccesstothecompany'sprivateintranet

D>theyarccapableofconductingonlinetransactions

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：由第2段最后一句可知公司這樣做的原因是為“控制風(fēng)險(xiǎn)”，而再由上

文中的reliability,irusl等詞可看出風(fēng)險(xiǎn)問(wèn)題是源于“信譽(yù)”問(wèn)題，只有A與該段所

說(shuō)的核心意思相符，故選A。

3、PointCastNetworkismostprobably.

A、acompanythatdevelopsthelatestpushsoftware

B、atoolthatpromotesacompany'sonlinemarketing

C^thefirstcompanythatusedanonlinepushsoftware

D、themostpopularsoftwarethathelpsacompanypush

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第3段第4句開(kāi)頭的Mostnotably表明該句提及的PointcastNetwork

是說(shuō)明上一句觀點(diǎn)的例子，由此可見(jiàn)，PointcastNetwork應(yīng)為一家開(kāi)發(fā)軟件的公

司，因此A為本題答案。

4、Netpuristsaremostworriedthat.

A、onlytherequestedinformationcomestothescreen

B、theNetisfilledwithcommercialpromotion

C^thedifferencebetweentheWebandTVwillfade

D、pushtechnologywilldominatethescreenofthecomputers

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第3段末句開(kāi)頭的That'saprospect表明前面提到的內(nèi)容就是使網(wǎng)絡(luò)

凈化者覺(jué)得擔(dān)憂的問(wèn)題，上文說(shuō)網(wǎng)絡(luò)廣告不應(yīng)像電視那樣不請(qǐng)自來(lái)，由此可見(jiàn)，網(wǎng)

絡(luò)凈化者最擔(dān)心的是以后電腦屏幕會(huì)被不請(qǐng)自來(lái)的廣告占據(jù)，因此D為本題答

案。

5、WhatdocstheauthorintendtoexpressbymentioningA?

A、Itssuccessisattributedtopushstrategies.

B、Itisprosperouswithoutpushstrategies.

C、Itishighlyconcernedaboutthecostofcomputingpower.

D、Itisagoodexampleofthenourishingonlinebusiness.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：末段首句中的hardlyinevitable(不是不可避免)表明有些公司不使用

“推銷(xiāo)”策略也可取得成功，第2句以Amazon,com為例說(shuō)明這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)，由此可

見(jiàn)，B正確而A錯(cuò)誤。

B、OneofhislineshadbeenmodifiedtodescribetheCEOs.

C、Hisplaypointedoutthat"allCEOsareaboveaverage".

D、Hisradioprogramarousedthe"LakeWobegoneffect".

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：原文第2段第4句中的破折號(hào)后的內(nèi)容表明“allCEOsareabove

average”這一說(shuō)法是對(duì)GarrisonKeillor的某句臺(tái)詞的修改，故選項(xiàng)B為本題答案。
