參考答案

1.A解析：見原文最后一段。KellyCarroll，警方偵查員，仍在努力地用新的方法找出新的證據(jù)。

2.A解析：見原文最后一段。人們可以通過這個(gè)網(wǎng)頁查詢自己所居住或?qū)⒁幼〉膮^(qū)域是否有較高的犯罪率，從而決定是否在此居住。

3.C解析：參見最后一段。要解決禿鷲遠(yuǎn)離鉛中毒的方法有：獵人應(yīng)當(dāng)用其他種類的子彈；或者，禿鷲根本就不應(yīng)該被放回大自然。

4.C解析：C項(xiàng)說人們不相信科學(xué)觀察的結(jié)論，文中并未提到。

5.B解析：本題考查的是推斷能力。該題可以從文章第一段最后一句以及文章最后一句得出答案。

6.B

7.C

8.B

9.C解析：由“inspector”可知，這些人是來視察、檢查的，所以選C。

10.C解析：第1段后半部分講到如果古董與某一歷史階段或某一名人有關(guān)則會(huì)有更大價(jià)值，故選C。

11.A解析：主旨?xì)w納題。首先，第一句話就點(diǎn)明了文章主旨；其次，通觀該篇文章，分段落講述的是美國婦女在不同的歷史階段所體現(xiàn)的性格特征。

12.C根據(jù)文章第一段第二句可知本題選C項(xiàng)。

13.B解析：文章的第一段第一句提出觀點(diǎn)Ithasbeengenerallyrecognizedthatayoungster'ssocialdevelopmenthasaprofoundeffectonhisacademicprogress．隨后進(jìn)一步論證，無法與同學(xué)處好關(guān)系的孩子學(xué)習(xí)上掉隊(duì)并且更有可能輟學(xué)。依此可以得出正確答案B。

14.B文章第一段最后一句就說makingalotofmoney。文章未提及學(xué)生們學(xué)到了很多知識或有了很多經(jīng)歷。B項(xiàng)是正確的。

15.A事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】鄰居的孫子搬來后，在深夜聽收音機(jī)，有時(shí)有朋友來訪。這些都表明，他從不關(guān)心鄰居是否想過寧靜的生活。

16.D通讀文章第一段，根據(jù)第二段后半部分，特別是最后兩句，可知正確的推斷應(yīng)是D項(xiàng)。

17.B解析：可由下文的“…andwentbacktobed”推知，正確答案為B。

18.C解析：第一段中寫到從南到北、從東到西大約是300多英里，因此本題中從英格蘭中部到南海岸應(yīng)該是300英里的一半：150英里。

19.D解析：greatadventure后面的“l(fā)ivehislifeintheworld”說明選D。

20.A解析：6、7行說“每次面試都能讓你學(xué)到東西”，故選A，“積極的經(jīng)歷”。

21.C

22.A解析：參見第三段第一句。

23.D解析：通篇講的是加利福尼亞教養(yǎng)所的虐囚狀況。

24.D文中A、B、C項(xiàng)，均有提到，唯有D項(xiàng)“playingmusicthatsoundslikemusicoffamousbands”未提到。

25.D解析：文章間接表達(dá)了這種觀點(diǎn)。

26.A第一段。在非洲，獅子恐怕是眾所周知的捕獵能手，而野狗才是最令人不可思議的捕獵者。最后一段。獅子捕到獵物后會(huì)蜂擁而至吃掉。而野狗則先讓小狗吃飽。這是兩者的不同之處。

27.B解析：參見第一段。此題是對詞匯的考查。valley意為“山谷”，肯定是在兩山之間了。

28.D

29.C解析：以Sam為例告訴讀者如何解決問題。這也是全篇的中心。選項(xiàng)C是正確的。

30.D作者用戲劇性地手法講述了這個(gè)故事。D項(xiàng)是正確的。

31.B

32.C解析：這篇文章講的是新的世紀(jì)究竟從哪一年開始算的問題。為了迎接新世紀(jì)的到來，人們要做的肯定是慶祝。Cheer歡呼，后通常跟介詞。選項(xiàng)C是正確的。

33.D句意為：我放棄了一切!可我得到了什么。everything“一切”。

34.A解析：計(jì)算好時(shí)間。

35.B解析：在哪個(gè)學(xué)院獲得學(xué)位或從哪個(gè)學(xué)校畢業(yè)用介詞from。選項(xiàng)B是正確的。

36.C

37.Cequal平等的，similar相似的，same同樣的，level平均的。根據(jù)上下文，兩瓶賣三瓶的錢，所以選項(xiàng)C是正確的。

38.D

39.B因?yàn)獒斸斪右缅N子，下文也提到售貨員拿給他錘子，所以他做出的動(dòng)作應(yīng)該是用錘子釘釘子的動(dòng)作，故應(yīng)選B項(xiàng)。

40.C解析：gobeyond意為“超越”。

41.D

42.A解析：這句話的意思是：作者在牙牙學(xué)語之時(shí)，最早發(fā)清楚的音是“zoo”(動(dòng)物園)，而不是“媽媽”，“爸爸”。因此，應(yīng)選clarity即“清晰”。填入其他選項(xiàng)emotion(感情)，sentiment(多愁善感)，affection(友愛)均不合邏輯。

43.B

44.A解析：這個(gè)自然段說的是美國內(nèi)戰(zhàn)時(shí)期的失聰學(xué)校有很多困難，that應(yīng)該指的是那個(gè)時(shí)期。

45.D

46.C充足的睡眠可使一個(gè)人放松，有充沛的精力去做一天的工作。aday’s正好符合此題要求。

48.D解析：很多人抱怨說因?yàn)閯e人的腿總擋道，他們不能自如地采往于座位之間。

49.D解析：通篇講了雞蛋的好處，又反駁了對雞蛋的錯(cuò)誤看法，這里指的肯定是雞蛋。選項(xiàng)D是正確的。

50.A29．Beyond超出。作者認(rèn)為這條制度太過分了，他應(yīng)該抗?fàn)?。選項(xiàng)A是正確的。

51.A13．答案為A

在need(want，require)等詞后，用動(dòng)名同的主動(dòng)態(tài)表示被動(dòng)意義，也可以接動(dòng)詞不定式的被動(dòng)態(tài)。本句也可用needstobecleaned。

52.C本題考查非謂語動(dòng)詞?

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：杰克沒受邀請就來參加晚會(huì)。without為介詞，后接動(dòng)名詞。句子主語“杰克”與“邀請”之間為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，應(yīng)用beinginvited。

53.B本題考查強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：在他得到他所期望的一切后，他才意識到這沒有那么重要。Itwas…that…構(gòu)成強(qiáng)調(diào)句，對時(shí)間狀語從句afterhegotwhathehaddesired進(jìn)行強(qiáng)調(diào)。

54.Dtakeapart指“拆開(機(jī)器)”等；takein指“接受，吸收”；takeover指“接收，接任”；takeup“拿起，占去，占據(jù)”。

55.A本題考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】句意：那里沒有光，他們不可能在家。can’t表示對現(xiàn)在情況的猜測或判斷，意為“不可能”。mustn’t表示“禁止，不準(zhǔn)”，不用于表示猜測、推測或判斷。needn’t意為”沒必要”，表示沒有必要做某事。shouldn’t意為“不應(yīng)該”，表示不應(yīng)該做。

56.performance

57.D表示在某個(gè)方面用介詞in。

58.C本題考分詞的獨(dú)立結(jié)構(gòu)作狀語的用法。結(jié)合語態(tài)，故C項(xiàng)正確。本句大意為：新技術(shù)研究出來之后，整個(gè)產(chǎn)量增長了20%。

59.D
