A．balance;playing B．balance;play

C．balances;playing D．balances;play

解析：句意：打球時(shí)他失去平衡，傷了左腳。balancen．“平衡”，不可數(shù)；whileplaying...是“連詞＋現(xiàn)在分詞”結(jié)構(gòu)，作時(shí)間狀語，相當(dāng)于whilehewasplaying...。

答案：A

A．Ifyoumay B．Ifyoudo

C．Ifnot D．Ifso

答案：D

14．Mymostfamousrelativeofall，________whoreallylefthismarkonAmerica,wasRebSussel,mygreat-grandfather.

A．one B．theone

C．he D．someone

解析：考查代詞的用法。由句子結(jié)構(gòu)知，此處缺少“mymostfamousrelative”的同位語成分，用來表示特指，故A、D兩項(xiàng)可排除。theone可以用來表示特指，指代前面出現(xiàn)過的人；C項(xiàng)雖可作同位語，但前句未提示“relative”的性別；故B項(xiàng)為最佳答案。

答案：B

15．BecauseHenryandMarkhadtowork,________ofthemcameyesterday.

語篇解讀：全球經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家對(duì)糧食價(jià)格飛漲表示了擔(dān)憂，文章分析了糧價(jià)上漲的原因和產(chǎn)生的后果，并援引了專家的建議。

1．WhichofthefollowingstatementsisTRUEaccordingtothepassage?

A．TheFAOcanaffecttherisingfoodpricesacrosstheworld.

B．BothAustraliaandRussiaarecountriesgrowingwheat.

C．Badweatherhasnoeffectondevelopingcountries'foodprices.

D．Russiawillincreasewheatexportstomeettheworldmarket.

解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一、二段信息可知FAO不能左右世界糧價(jià)，因此A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知惡劣天氣也影響到了發(fā)展中國(guó)家的糧價(jià)，因此C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知俄羅斯減少糧食出口以保證國(guó)內(nèi)足夠的糧食，因此D項(xiàng)也錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)第二、三段內(nèi)容可知澳大利亞和俄羅斯都是種植小麥的國(guó)家，故B項(xiàng)正確。

答案：B

2．FromParagraph4,wecaninferthat________.

A．Mr.FanisinchargeoftheFAOinWashingtonDCoffice

B．countriesmustinvestinmakingtheirfarmersmoreproductive

C．foodpricescanmakesomecountriesfallintoconfusion

D．thelimitedresourcescan'tprovideenoughfoodformorehungrypeople

解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)ShenggenFanheadstheInternationalFoodPolicyResearchInstitutefromitsWashingtonDCoffice.可知A為錯(cuò)誤推斷；B為直接信息，不屬于推論；根據(jù)該段最后兩句話可知，D為錯(cuò)誤推斷。根據(jù)最后一段第二、三、四句可推知糧價(jià)會(huì)使一些國(guó)家陷入混亂局面。

答案：C

3．Thepassageismainlydevelopedby________.

A．a(chǎn)nalyzingcauses

B．makingcomparisons

C．followingthetimeorder

D．examiningdifferences

解析：文章結(jié)構(gòu)題。文章第一段指出食品價(jià)格指數(shù)達(dá)到歷史最高值，接下來分析了導(dǎo)致糧價(jià)上漲的原因，因此選擇A。

答案：A

4．Whichisthebesttitleforthepassage?

A.WorldFoodPricesExpectedtoStayHighorKeepRising

B．CurrentandRecentWeatherDisastersintheWorld

C．TheAgricultureinDevelopedCountries

D．ThePredictionabouttheFoodMarketinDevelopingCountries

解析：標(biāo)題概括題。根據(jù)第一段和全文內(nèi)容可知A項(xiàng)作為文章標(biāo)題比較合適。B項(xiàng)角度太小，C、D項(xiàng)不能概括全文內(nèi)容。

答案：A

5．What'sthemeaningoftheunderlinedword“truancy”？

A．grades B．classes

解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文章可知，自實(shí)行了這項(xiàng)措施后，在truancy方面下降了28%，甚至幾乎沒有人遲到。這里講的是實(shí)行這項(xiàng)措施的好處，結(jié)合四個(gè)選項(xiàng)，可知選C。

B．Teenagersarefullyawakeat10amasawhole.

解析：推理判斷題。依據(jù)第五段可知學(xué)校推遲學(xué)生到校時(shí)間是有科學(xué)依據(jù)的，學(xué)生在早上需要更多的睡眠時(shí)間。

答案：D

D．Infact,teenagersperformbetterinthemorningthanintheafternoon.

解析：正誤判斷題。依據(jù)第六段最后一句推斷學(xué)生下午狀態(tài)更佳。學(xué)生在上午更易管理(貌似專心聽講)，是因?yàn)樗麄冊(cè)诖藭r(shí)還沒有完全清醒。

答案：D
