1、[Cl]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：G

知識點(diǎn)解析：此處需填入名詞、形容詞或動(dòng)詞分詞?？崭窈蟮膇na...document

表明無煙區(qū)立法的可能性在這個(gè)文件中寫明了或體現(xiàn)了，outlined“概述”符合語

境。

2、[C2]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：E

知識點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)填入動(dòng)詞的過去分詞，與has構(gòu)成完成時(shí)態(tài)，賓語是anti-

smokingprogrammes（反吸煙方案）。第一段末句提到紐約市的官員們最近開始考慮

在公園和戶外禁止吸煙，由此推斷MichaelBloomberg應(yīng)該是支持反吸煙方案的。

championed、,支持，擁護(hù)”符合上下文語義。

3、（C31

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：0

知識點(diǎn)解析：空格前的the表明此處需填入名詞。本文都在講有關(guān)禁煙的事情，故

填restrictions"限制”，指出MichaelBloomberg似乎開始對吸煙限制的程度持保留

態(tài)度（qualify）。

4、[C4]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點(diǎn)9M：此處需填入名詞、形容詞或分詞，修飾impact”影響，沖擊”。因?yàn)槊?/p>

臨再次參選，MichaelBloomberg好像對禁煙的程度持保留態(tài)度，他想先弄清楚在

公園吸煙是否對健康有不良影響，因而填negative“負(fù)面的”。再者，impacl這個(gè)詞

本身就含有不好的影響之意。

5、[C5]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：I

知識點(diǎn)解析：此處需填入修飾possible的副詞。logistically“邏輯上”符合此處語

義，指“在幾千萬英畝的地區(qū)實(shí)行禁令邏輯上也許行不通

6、[C6]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：F

知識點(diǎn)解析：此處需填入名詞，與in構(gòu)成地點(diǎn)狀語。根據(jù)后文suchas所列舉的地

方，可知此句講的是“除了一些特定情況，室外應(yīng)該允許吸煙"，circumstances“環(huán)

境：情況”符合句意。

7、[C7]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：J

知識點(diǎn)解析：此處需填入primarily修飾的形容詞成分詞，與forchildren一起作

outdoorareas的后置定語。此處大意是：這些戶外場所主要是給孩子用的，

designated”指定”符合語義。

8、[C8]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)填入名詞、形容詞或分詞，作表語，說明fines（罰款）應(yīng)該是什

么樣的。ChristineQuinn是贊同禁煙計(jì)劃的,所以罰款應(yīng)是modest"適當(dāng)?shù)摹?而非

mild”溫和的,輕微的”。

9、[C9]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：L

知識點(diǎn)解析：空格后用but轉(zhuǎn)折，根據(jù)increasing可知此處應(yīng)填入表數(shù)量稀少的形

容詞或分詞，作表語。rare“稀少的”符合要求。

10、[C10]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：N

知識點(diǎn)解析：此處需填入動(dòng)詞的過去分詞，與have一起構(gòu)成現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。上一句

提到加利福利亞州起了帶頭的作用（vanguard）,可見它的立法委員“禁止”在所有的

州立公園和一部分海灘吸煙，prohibited符合句意。

三、仔細(xì)閱讀（本題共10題，每題L0分，共70分。）

21、Theauthorsetsupthestandardofoverweightpeoplebasedonthefactthat.

A、thenumberofoverweightpeoplehasastonishinglyincreased

B、peoplehaveadifferentideaabouttheirdesirableweightnow

C、overweightbecomesathreattopeople'shealth

D、theoverweightproblemhaslongbeenstudied

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B--

知識點(diǎn)解析：作者在第2段第2句定義了超重的概念，雖然沒有明確指出為什么要

以超出20%為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，但是從下一句中的插入成分even...可以推斷，以前并非

以20%為超重的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的，現(xiàn)在以此為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是因?yàn)槿藗儗硐塍w重的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)改變了，

因此選項(xiàng)B為本題答案。

22、Bysaying"Soaretheattendanthealthrisks",theauthormeans.

A、Americasuffershealthrisksaswellastheoverweightproblem

B、healthrisksresultedfromoverweightareserioustoo

C、overweightisclassifiedasoneofthehealthproblems

D、peoplehavealsopaymuchattentiontothepossiblehealthrisks

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點(diǎn)解析：本題考點(diǎn)是一個(gè)倒裝句。第2段主要指出肥胖問題很嚴(yán)重，可以推斷

本句中的so指的是thehealthrisks也很嚴(yán)重。第3段第2句表明超重造成各種健康

問題，由此可推斷本段首句中的iheatlendantheakhrisks可理解為“超重造成對健康

的危害”，結(jié)合這兩點(diǎn)的理解，可推斷選項(xiàng)B為本題答案。

23、WhatdoesWilliamDietzthinkofoverweight?

A、Overweightshouldbetreatedasapublichealthproblem.

B、Overweightshouldbeattributedtogluttonyandsloth.

C、Overweighthasmuchtodowithnutritionalproblems.

D、Overweighthasnothingtodowiththeoveruseofcars.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點(diǎn)解析：第5段首句是WilliamDietz對肥胖癥的看法，句中的obesityasa

publichealthproblem表明Dietz認(rèn)為肥胖癥是一個(gè)公共健康問題，因此選項(xiàng)A為本

題答案。

24NMostAmericansbelievethat.

A、theoverweightproblemhascostthenationmuch

B、obesityisrelatedtoone'sphysicalconditions

C、peoplewhoareoverv/eightareunfortunate

D、gluttonyandslotharetwodeadlysins

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點(diǎn)解析：第6段句末的twoofthesevendeadlysins指的就是該段第3句提到的

gluttonyandsloth,由此可見，選項(xiàng)D為本題答案。

25、Inordertosolvetheoverweightproblem,theauthorsuggeststhateveryoneneedto

A、betaughttopreventgainingweight

B、beeducatedtoloseweighteffectively

C>seekhelpfromconsumerinformation

D、knowwhatmakesahealthydinner

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點(diǎn)解析：第7段第1、2句表明prevenlinggain的做法比較可行，而第8段末

句表明education很重要，結(jié)合這兩點(diǎn)，可推斷選項(xiàng)A為本題答案。

A、Thebeautifulscenerythatthey'veneverseen.

Theeurothathasneverbeenusedbyanyone.

C>Thecurrenciesthatwillbereplacedbytheeuro.

D、Theculturethattheyarenotfamiliarwith.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點(diǎn)解析：本題解題的關(guān)鍵在于理解第2段首句1中的them與上一段末句開頭

的They所指相同，都是指各國的舊貨幣，因此本題應(yīng)選C。

27^Whenwilltheoldcurrenciesbenolongerused?

A、Sincethe2002NewYear'sDay.

B、Whenalltheautomatictellermachinesareready.

C^Afterthetradershelpwithdrawtheoldcurrencies.

D、Theexacttimeisnotsettledyet.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點(diǎn)解析：第2段末句開頭的nextstep只表明歐元將代替舊貨幣，但具體的時(shí)間

是不明確的，因此本題應(yīng)選D。

28、Since2002NewYear'sEve,travelersintheeurozonecan.

A、buysouvenirsonlywitheuros

不符，原文是說advantages是理所當(dāng)然的。D項(xiàng)“負(fù)面影響是微妙的，
