In particular, the low-frequenc

20、y variations of the Pacific Decade Swaying(PDS)provide a useful replacement for measuring the impacts of possible future climate change. Subtle changes in temperature and rainfall associated with the PDS have had a dramatic impact in the past on the regions water resources, on salmon abundance, and

21、on forest fires. In the northwest of Pacific, the primary impacts pathway is via the regions water resources. Explanations for future climate suggest that changes in temperature and precipitation will raise snow lines and cause snow to melt earlier in the year. Thus, the annual cycle of the water su

25、 test become unpopular in the past few decades?A.Its validity was challenged by many communities.B.It was considered discriminative against minority children.C.It met with strong opposition from the majority of black parents.D.It deprived the black children of their rights to a good education.答案:B聽(tīng)力

26、原文 14 -16 About the time that schools and others quite reasonably became interested in seeing to it that all children, whatever their background, were fairly treated, intelligence testing became unpopular. Some thought it was unfair to minority children. Through the past few decades such testing has

27、 gone out of fashion and many communities have indeed forbidden it. However, paradoxically, just recently a group of black parents filed a lawsuit in California claiming that the states ban on IQ testing discriminates against their children by denying them the opportunity to take the test. (They bel

28、ieved, correctly, that IQ tests are a valid method of evaluating children for special education classes.) The judge, therefore, reversed, at least partially, his original decision. And so the argument goes on and on. Does it benefit or harm children from minority groups to have their intelligence te

29、sted? We have always been on the side of permitting, even facilitating, such testing. If a Child of any color or group is doing poorly in school it seems to us very important to know whether it is because he or she is of low intelligence, or whether some other factor is the cause. What school and fa

30、mily can do to improve poor performance is influenced by its cause. It is not discriminative to evaluate either a childs physical condition or his intellectual level. Unfortunately, intellectual level seems to be a sensitive subject, and what the law allows us to do varies from time to time. The sam

31、e fluctuation back and forth occurs in areas other than intelligence. Thirty years or so ago, for instance, white families were encouraged to adopt black children. It was considered discriminative not to do so. And then the style changed and this cross-racial adopting became generally unpopular, and

32、 social agencies felt that black children should go to black families only. It is hard to say what are the best procedures. But surely good will on the part of all of us is needed. As to intelligence, in our opinion, the more we know about any childs intellectual level, the better for the child in q

The recent legal action taken by some black parents in California aimed to _.A.draw public attention to IQ testingB.put an end to special educationC.remove the states ban on intelligence testsD.have their children enter white school答案:C6. The author believes that intelligence testing _.A

36、ght for the best part of 20 years, a sudden switch of interest to the depth of the sea doer seem peculiar. To explain, Id like to share my reasons behind this unusual change of mind.

37、und-trip ticket to the moon is going to cost at least 10 billion dollars if you include research and development. By the end of this century, the cost will be down to a few million. On the other hand, the diving suit and a set of basic tools needed for skin-diving can be bought for 20 dollars. My se

38、cond argument is more philosophical. The ocean, surprisingly enough, has many things in common with space. In their different ways, both sea and space are equally hostile. If we wish to survive in either for any length of time, we need to have mechanical aids. The diving suit helped the design of th

47、suming work. 1.A.improbableB.necessaryC.impossibleD.inevitable答案:C解析 本題考查句意理解。根據(jù)從句中的意思來(lái)判斷本題的答案。不管選哪個(gè)答案，我們都知道要在一周內(nèi)做三周的事，毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，應(yīng)當(dāng)說(shuō)這是幾乎不可能的。故正確答案為C。2.A.three weeks workB.three weeks worksC.three weeks workD.three weeks works答案:C解析 本題考查名詞的數(shù)。三周肯定是復(fù)數(shù)，week必須是復(fù)數(shù)形式；work是不可數(shù)名詞。故應(yīng)選C。3.A.EvenB.AlmostC.IfD.with答案

48、:A解析 本題考查的是篇章詞匯。解本題有兩種方法：第一種方法從篇章的角度著手，本段承接上面一段，說(shuō)的是學(xué)習(xí)的困難，在這里顯然是說(shuō)“即使”是讀得最快的人也有困難，選A順理成章；第二種方法從句法著手，因?yàn)檫@是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句，顯然不能填連詞和介詞，故C、D明顯錯(cuò)誤。單就本句來(lái)說(shuō)，選almost也是不能的。所以應(yīng)選A。4.A.to doB.doingC.at doingD.with doing答案:B解析 本題考查固定搭配。have troubling后要求接動(dòng)名詞，表示在做某事時(shí)有困難。所以應(yīng)選B。5.A.turned inB.tuned upC.turned outD.given in答案:A解析 本

49、題考查短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的辨析。Turn in的意思是“交上去，上交”，符合文意。turn up 出現(xiàn)；turn out，出來(lái)；結(jié)果是；given in，讓步。6.A.veryB.quiteC.suchD.too答案:D解析 本題考查句意理解。此處表示“過(guò)晚”之意，用too。所以應(yīng)選D。7.A.anywayB.eitherC.at allD.too答案:C解析 本題考查句型?！案静弧钡挠⑽谋磉_(dá)是“notat all”。所以應(yīng)選C。8.A.solutionB.methodC.answerD.excuse答案:D解析 本題考查名詞辨析。這一句及其下一句是說(shuō)因?yàn)槟阍趧e的科花的時(shí)間太多而在另一科落后，前者不是

50、后者的理由。所以此處要選表示“借口、理由”意思的詞，即是excuse。所以應(yīng)選D。9.A.helpB.encourageC.assistD.improve答案:A解析 本題考查動(dòng)詞辨析。表示籠統(tǒng)的“有用”的動(dòng)詞是help。encourage，鼓勵(lì)；assist，幫助；improve，提高。所以應(yīng)選A。10.A.expenseB.payC.debtD.charge答案:A解析 本題考查固定搭配。at the expense of的意思是“以為代價(jià)”。所以應(yīng)選A。11.A.devoteB.putC.spendD.take答案:A解析 本題考查固定搭配。注意后面的介詞to，devote to，致力于

51、，是一個(gè)固定搭配。所以應(yīng)選A。12.A.WhicheverB.WhateverC.HoweverD.Wherever答案:B解析 本題考查句型。whatever the reason，無(wú)論什么原因，是固定搭配，有時(shí)后邊會(huì)加上 may be。所以應(yīng)選B。13.A.attractionB.decisionC.temptationD.dilemma答案:C解析 本題考查上下文理解。前面所說(shuō)的明顯是一種誘惑，所以要選temptation。attraction，吸引； decision，決定；dilemma，進(jìn)退兩難的處境。所以應(yīng)選C。14.A.arrangementsB.wayC.assignment

52、sD.class答案:C解析 本題考查上下文理解。前面說(shuō)的是上什么什么課的事，所以選A項(xiàng)class。arrangement，安排； way，道路，方法；assignment，作業(yè)。15.A.goodB.easilyC.sufficientlyD.well答案:D解析 本題考查語(yǔ)法。well是副詞，good是形容詞，修飾動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該用副詞，所以A不可。與后面相比較的doesnt work at all for others可知此處應(yīng)填一個(gè)與doesnt work at all意義相反的詞，顯然B、C不能滿足這個(gè)要求。故應(yīng)選D。16.A.untilB.afterC.whileD.so答案:A解析 本題

53、考查句意理解。此句的意思是“你一直進(jìn)行嘗試，直到找到適合自己的學(xué)習(xí)方法”。因而此處的連詞要表達(dá)“直到”的意思。所以應(yīng)選A。17.A.somebodyB.nobodyC.everybodyD.anybody答案:B解析 本題考查句意理解。解題線索是空格后的else，兩個(gè)詞連起來(lái)表示“除了你自己，別的任何人都不能”。所以應(yīng)選B。18.A.followB.goC.operateD.work答案:D解析 本題考查詞義的辨析。work常用于抽象的意義，表示起作用的意思。故應(yīng)選D。19.A.behindB.afterC.slowD.later答案:A解析 本題考查固定搭配。get (fall, be) b

54、ehind表示落后的意思，根據(jù)上下文，顯然是說(shuō)，我們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)上是不要落后。所以應(yīng)選A。20.A.hardlyB.unpleasantC.hardD.heavy答案:C解析 本題考查詞義辨析。此處要求填一個(gè)形容詞，故可排除A。又根據(jù)上下文，可以推理出這句話的意思應(yīng)該是“開(kāi)始時(shí)是很困難的，你幾乎不可能在一周內(nèi)完成三周的工作。”這里談的是難度的問(wèn)題，因此其他的答案是不合適的。所以應(yīng)選C。Section Reading ComprehensionPart APassage 1 PARIS-Defending champion Andre Agassi and Martina Hingis were na
