making

48、[SI]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點詞析：本句意思是：誰如果想謀得一份差事。C項gening（獲得）適合。

49、[S2]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：F

知識點解析：本句意為：快速閱讀與理解的能力，是關(guān)系到成敗的關(guān)鍵所在。只有

quickly與原意吻合。

50、[S3]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：J

知識點解析：此處的意志是：大多數(shù)人早期養(yǎng)成看書慢的習(xí)慣。因此選habits（習(xí)

慣）。

51、[S4]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：M

知識點解析：此句意為：在閱讀時經(jīng)常重讀（反復(fù)讀）。因此，選reread重讀。

52、[S5]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：H

知識點解析：此句意為：訓(xùn)練快速閱讀所使用的工具必然與提高閱讀速度有關(guān)，因

此選accelerator（快讀器）。

53、[S6]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：O

知識點解析：此句意為：快速-閱讀器迫使你加快閱讀速度，使你再也不能逐字閱

讀，回顧前文內(nèi)容或者默讀。只有making（使，使得）最合適。

54、[S7]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：這里的意志是：速讀最初會影響理解，所以選comprehension（理解

力）。

55、[S8]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：take與后面的forinsiance構(gòu)成短語，意為“以…例”，其它三項不能構(gòu)

成搭配。

56、[S9]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：這里提到受訓(xùn)之前與受訓(xùn)之后進(jìn)行比較、對比，因此選before。

57、[S10]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：L

知識點解析：此處意為：在較短時間內(nèi)，讀完眾多的材料。只有g(shù)etthrough（讀完）

最恰當(dāng)。

十、閱讀（常規(guī)閱讀理解）（本題共70題，每題7.0

分，共70分。）

Onewayofpreventingfloodsmaybebymakingrain!Thismaysoundratherstrange.As

58、Accordingtothispassage,onewayofpreventingfloodsis.

A、tomaketherainfallintheseabeforeitreachesthecoast

B、tomaketherainclouds

C、tocausemonsooninthesea

D、tobringheavyrain

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：由原文第一段可知，防止水災(zāi)的一個辦法就是實施人工降雨，讓雨水

降落在大海里。

59、Whatdoes"it"of"sincewater-vaporbecomeswaterwhenitcools"inPara.3.refer

to?

A、Water-vapor.

B>Cloud.

C^Water.

D、Air.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：要弄清楚該句中的指代關(guān)系，就必須正確理解文章第三段的內(nèi)容-

雨是如何形成的。云是由含有水蒸氣的空氣形成的?？諝獠粩嗌仙⒗鋮s，水蒸氣

變成小水滴。當(dāng)水滴越變越大，再也無法飄浮在空中時就變成了雨。由此可知句中

的it指的是空氣。

60、1'hcthirdparagraphisconcernedwith.

A、howcloudsriseintheair

howrainisformed

C、whywatcr-vaporcanfloatintheair

D、howcloudscauserain

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：要找出該題的答案關(guān)鍵在于分析第三段的篇章結(jié)構(gòu)。不同于常見的段

落，該段的主題句Thisisthecauseofrain位于段末。抓住了這句話就明白了該段的

中心內(nèi)容。

61、WhichofthefollowingstatementsisNOTTRUE?

A、Itislikelytocauseallcloudstogiveupalltheirrain.

B、Thefrequencyofrainfallcouldbecutdown,andsocouldtheamountofrainfall.

C、InMalaysia,themonsoonoftenresultsinfloods.

D、Ifpeoplefoundwaysofreducingtheamountofrainfall,therewouldbelessflood

damage.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：從原文第二段可知A項與原文不符。B、C、D三項所述內(nèi)容分別可

在原文的第一段和第二段中找到。

62、Itcanbeinferredfromthispassagethat.

A、therainiscausedbywater-vapor

B、thehighertheairrises,thehigherthetemperatureis

C、thehighertheairrises,thelowerthetemperatureis

D、thecloudsrise,andthewaterdropsbecomesmaller

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：原文第三段表明：隨著空氣不斷上升，水蒸氣變成了小水滴；水蒸氣
