A、thespeciesonearthhavedecreased90%now

B、thepast450millionyearshavewitnessedextinctionseveraltimes

C^everyextinctionhasa90%speciesdecrease

D、theearthhasexperiencedfivegreatextinction

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析:細(xì)節(jié)題?！癟heEarthhasbeenstrippedofupto90%ofitsspeciesfive

timesbeforeinthepast450millionyears”意為在過(guò)去的4.5億年中，地球曾經(jīng)五次

損失了90%的生物。A中錯(cuò)在不是現(xiàn)在，而是在過(guò)去的4.5億年。B、C、D都符

合文意。本題考察的是對(duì)成分復(fù)雜句子的解讀。

2、Thesentence“thistimethere,snorogueasteroid（小行星）toblame**means.

A^peopleblamedasteroidsbecausetheyaretoonaughty

B、peoplefeelpityaboutnothavinganasteroidtoblame

C、theearthwillexperiencedanotherextinctionbecauseoftheasteroids

D^theasteroidsonceservedasthereasonofthepastextinction

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：詞匯題。文章前面一直在說(shuō)之前的五次物種大滅絕，后面要引出的是

這一次的物種消亡。提到了"it'sabouttohappenagain”和“thistime”,可見之前的滅

亡原因是小行星。故選D。A、B都是字面意思，而C則意思相反。

3、Whatisfalseaboutthereasonsofgreatextinction?

A、Killingtheanimalsforfoodcausedtheextinction.

B、Somespeciesdiedoutprobablyjustbecauseofaroad.

C、Animalsaresensitivetonewenvironment.

D、Manyspeciesextinctbecauseofaclimatechange.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。全文都在講述造成大滅絕的原因。A項(xiàng)出自

^overexploitation—whichistosaykilling,animalsforfood,clothingorthesheer

perversepleasureofit——playsabigrole",但是邏輯有誤，以動(dòng)物為食只是其中一

個(gè)原因，故選A。而B、C、D都可以在文中找到。

4、AccordingtotheBryanWaish'sview,whichstatementisNOTcorrect?

A、Thelocalspeciesextinctbecausetheecosystemistoocrowd.

B、Thenumberoftheinvasivespeciesincreaseseasily.

C>Theinvasivespeciesarefromotherplaces.

D、Theinvasivespecieskilledthelocalanimals,whichcausestheextinction.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。細(xì)節(jié)的位置在“therearcinvasivespecies...whichhitcharide

intoanewecosystemonshipsorpackingmaterial,orarebroughtinaspets,and

thenreproducewildly,crowdingoutnativespecies”，介紹了入侵物種的來(lái)源和危

害，都由船或包裝物或作為寵物帶來(lái)，迅速繁殖，進(jìn)而擠走了本地生物。A、B、

C在句中都可以找出，D錯(cuò)在入侵物種不一定是吃掉了本地物種。

5、Whatisthebesttitleforthispassage?

A^WhatCausesTheGreatExtinction?

TheSixthGreatExtinctionIsUnderway-AndWe'retoBlame

C、TheEndoftheAnthropocene

D、QuitSeekingSelf-interest

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：主旨題。文章以之前的大滅絕開頭，引入人類面臨的大滅絕，在介紹

了造成滅絕的原因后，提出了倡議，不僅有客觀，而且有對(duì)于人類前途的擔(dān)憂和建

議。反觀這幾個(gè)題目，A只強(qiáng)調(diào)了客觀原因，C項(xiàng)過(guò)于含糊，D項(xiàng)只提到了倡議，

只有B最為全面。

D、wastheoretical10yearsagobutisnotnow

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。本題的定位在“Adecadeago，theideathattheplanetwas

warmingupasaresultofhumanactivitywaslargelyiheorelical",**butevidencethatthe

climatewasactuallygettinghotterwasstillmurky...notanymore”即十年前.這種觀點(diǎn)

只是理論上的，證據(jù)是模糊的，而現(xiàn)在再不是了。故選D。

C、itisobviousthattheworldhasstartedgettingwarmerandwarmer

D、weshouldcarryoutmoreresearchtoprovetheeffectsofglobalwarming

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。由文中“thetrendtowardawarmerworldhas

unquestionablybegun”.可見該機(jī)構(gòu)的人員認(rèn)為這種變暖毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)已經(jīng)開始了。A、

B不符合文意，D沒(méi)有提及。故選C正確。

0.5°Coverthepastcentury,andthe1990swerethehottestdecadeonrecord,,?即在過(guò)

去的一世紀(jì)中，世界氣溫上漲了0.5℃,而20世紀(jì)90年代是史上最熱的卜年。A

項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤，C和D項(xiàng)沒(méi)有提及。

凍土帶正在消融，河水和湖水的冰凍時(shí)間推后，日漸消融，植物和動(dòng)物都不斷向高

海拔移動(dòng)，動(dòng)物的遷徙被打亂等等。B、C、D都沒(méi)有提及，故選A,動(dòng)物正向別

處搬家正確。

10、Whatisthebesttitleforthepassage?

A^LifeintheGreenhouse

B、HowDocsOurPlanetGetWarmer?

C、WeAreMakingtheWorldWarmer

D^EverythingIsMelting

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：主旨題。文章主要是在介紹全球變暖對(duì)于地球上生物生活的影響，并

沒(méi)有介紹變暖的原因和責(zé)備人類造成了氣候變暖，故B和C錯(cuò)誤。D項(xiàng)過(guò)于偏

頗。故選A。

D^Owningfewfriends.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

小時(shí)會(huì)導(dǎo)致心理問(wèn)題的增加，故B正確。A項(xiàng)沒(méi)有說(shuō)到玩電腦的時(shí)間，如果不超

過(guò)兩個(gè)小時(shí)，也不會(huì)增加風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。從“physicalactivityisgoodfbrhealthinmany

ways,butitcan'tmakeupfbrlonghoursofscreenviewing'沖可以看出體育活動(dòng)并不

會(huì)緩解看屏幕時(shí)間長(zhǎng)帶來(lái)的危害，故C錯(cuò)誤。D項(xiàng)文中沒(méi)有提及。

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。文章的主要觀點(diǎn)是過(guò)久地看屏幕可以導(dǎo)致兒童心理問(wèn)題。而

這種危害是其他活動(dòng)是彌補(bǔ)不了的。故選A正確。

C、tosleepandgetupearly

D、Cognitive/behavioraltherapy

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案；D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。細(xì)節(jié)定位在第四段，^Cognitive/behavioraltherapy-

apsychology-basedtreatrnentthattrainspeopletoreduceanxietyandtakeothersleep-

promotingsteps—isveryeffective”，這種方式非常有效，故D正確。而A、B爰文

章開頭都被作者否定T，“expertsagreeallthatself-medicatingisabadidea”。而C文

章沒(méi)有提及。

17、WhichofthefollowingsymptomsdoesNOTbelongtoinsomnia?

A、Walkingaroundinafog.

B、Lackofenergy.

C、Napirregularly.

D、Cognitivefunctionsloss.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。文章的第二段詳細(xì)地描述了成年人失眠的癥狀：走路晃悠如

在夢(mèng)中，記憶和認(rèn)知功能緩慢，在開車和工作中打盹，沒(méi)有力氣等。A、B、C都

有所提及。但是D意為“認(rèn)知功能缺失”，和原文表述不相同。這里應(yīng)該注意選項(xiàng)

和原文的細(xì)微區(qū)別。

18、TheNationalInstitutesofHealthfoundthat.

A^unproventherapiesarecommonlyusedbypeople

B、chronicinsomniaisjustaminorhealthyproblem

D、dietarysupplementscanbeintroducedtoinsomniasufferers

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。該細(xì)節(jié)在第三段，“Chronicinsomniaisamajorpublic

healthproblem.Andtoomanypeopleareusingunproventherapies,evenwhilethere

arcafewtreatmentsthatdowork”,即慢性失眠是一人事關(guān)公眾身體健康的大問(wèn)題；

盡管目前有一些行之有效的治療方法，還是有不少人使用未經(jīng)驗(yàn)證的療法。應(yīng)該注

意這里說(shuō)的是該機(jī)構(gòu)的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，不是文章中的所有發(fā)現(xiàn)，B、C、D都沒(méi)有提

及，故選A。

19、"over-the-counter"inLinel,Para.6means.

A、non-prescriptional

B>counterottering

C、cheapandeasy-to-gei

D、illegal

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：詞匯題。over意為“在……之上”，counter意為“柜臺(tái)”?？催x項(xiàng)時(shí)，A

項(xiàng)提醒我們藥分為處方藥和非處方藥.而。verthecounter非常形象地描述了非處方

藥的銷售方法，即直接在柜臺(tái)上銷售。此外，C、D都與語(yǔ)境相距甚遠(yuǎn)，B過(guò)于字

面，用排除法可以選出A.

20、Fromthepassagewecaninferthat.

A、unprovenmedicinescannottreatchronicinsomniaatall

B、insomniasufferershavefoundcurablemedicines

C>sleepspecialistsandpsychologistscannotbetrusted

D、chronicinsomniastil'bafflessleepexperts

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推斷題。對(duì)于A,文中涉及unprovenmedicines的只有“toomany

peopleareusingunproventherapies,evenwhilethereareafewtreatmentsthatdo

work”.而A沒(méi)有被提及。B中說(shuō)失眠者已經(jīng)找到了可醫(yī)治的藥物，而文中說(shuō)太多

的人們都在用沒(méi)有經(jīng)過(guò)臉證的治療方法.敵人們實(shí)際卜沒(méi)有找到°C項(xiàng)在文中沒(méi)有

提及。由“scientistsknowsurprisinglylittleaboutwhatcauseschronicinsomnia,its

healthconsequencesandhowbesttotreatit”可知D項(xiàng)正確。

D、wantedtocoordinateengineeringwithliberal-artscoursesincollege

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文中第2段第3、4句的具體說(shuō)明以及第3段末句

的概括說(shuō)明“我將成為個(gè)完整的工程師：集理性的技術(shù)天才和感性的人文學(xué)者丁

A、broadentheirhorizons

C>receiveguidanceintheircareers

D、balanceengineeringandtheliberalarts

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)推理題。由文章第2段第4句“我想通過(guò)與非理工科的同學(xué)的相

互交往來(lái)開闊我的視野”，可推斷出A正確。其他均無(wú)原文依據(jù)或斷章取義。

3、Intheeyesoftheauthor,asuccessfulengineeringstudentisexpected.

A、tobeimaginativewithavaluesystemtoguidehim

B>tobeatechnicalgeniuswithawidevision

C>tohaveanexcellentacademicrecord

D^tobewiseandmature

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)推理題。第3段最后一句說(shuō)，“我將成為一個(gè)完整的工程師：集

技術(shù)天才和人文學(xué)者于一體“，B"成為視野寬闊的技術(shù)天才”與原文相符，故選B。

A、C、D均無(wú)原文支持或斷章取義。

4、Theauthor'sexperienceshowsthathewas.

A^creative

B、irrational

C^ambitious

D、unrealistic

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)推理題。根據(jù)第4段第2句“我的崇高理想與現(xiàn)實(shí)發(fā)生了沖突”，

以及下文對(duì)于作者在協(xié)調(diào)文理科之間的困難可知，原文的想法是不現(xiàn)實(shí)的，故可推

斷D正確。

5、Theword"they"in"togethertheythreatentoconfuse.'1(Line3,Para,5)refersto

A、practicalityandrationality

engineeringandtheliberalarts

C^realityandnobleideals

D、flexibilityandavaluesystem

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：詞義理解題。they一般指代前一句話中的復(fù)數(shù)名詞，根據(jù)最后一段的

第1、2句”…engineeringandtheliberalartssimplydon'tmixaseasily...togethertlicy

threatentoconfiise”可以推斷，they指的是engineeringandtheliberalarts。

6、TheNationalTrustis.

A^arichgovernmentdepartment

B、acharitysupportedmainlybythepublic

C、agroupofareasofgreatnaturalbeauty

D^anorganizationsupportedbypublictaxes

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章第1段末句可找到答案。選項(xiàng)A顯然與原文意

思相反，選項(xiàng)C和D則無(wú)原文依據(jù)。

7、The"CountryHouseScheme"wasstarted.

A^withthefoundingoftheNationalTrust

B、asthefirstprojectoftheNationalTrust

C、afterLordLothian'sdonation

D^toprotectLordLothian'shouse

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推理判斷題。第2段第2句表明洛錫安勛爵捐贈(zèng)了他的房產(chǎn)后，這個(gè)

計(jì)劃才啟動(dòng)起來(lái)，因此選項(xiàng)C正確，也由此可以否定選項(xiàng)A。根據(jù)第2段最后兩

句可知這個(gè)計(jì)劃是為了保護(hù)具有歷史價(jià)值的房子，而不僅僅是為了保護(hù)洛錫安勛爵

的房子，因此選項(xiàng)D不對(duì).

8、LandprotectedbytheNationalTrust.

A^canbedevelopedandmodernized

B、includesnaturallyandhistoricallyvaluablesites

C^consistsofcountryhousesandnaturereserves

D、isprimarilyfortouriststoBritain

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。最后一段從preserving開始的部分指出了本題的答案。

第3段倒數(shù)第2句所說(shuō)的"nodevelopmentordisturbancesofanykindarcpermitted”可

幫助排除選項(xiàng)A；選項(xiàng)C內(nèi)容不完整；選項(xiàng)D中的限制詞primarily使用不妥，無(wú)

原文依據(jù)。

9、Theword"invade"inthelastparagraphisusedtoemphasizethat.

A、theBritishdonotliketourists

B>touriststoBritainareunfriendly

C>touristscometoBritaininlargenumbers

D^Britainisattackedbymassesoftourists

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：詞義推斷題。由invade所在的句子"forthemillionsoftouristswho

eachyearinvade...”可知這是托管會(huì)保護(hù)自然美景和歷史勝地的原因所在。從而可

以推斷出invade強(qiáng)調(diào)來(lái)英國(guó)游玩的游客之多，因此選項(xiàng)C為正確答案。

10、Themainpurposeofthispassageisto.

A、informthereadersabouttheNational1rust

B、promotetheNationalTrust'smembership

C、makepeopleawareofthenaturalbeautyofBritain

D、letthegeneralpublicsharetheviewsoftheNationalTrust

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：主旨大意題?？v觀全文可發(fā)現(xiàn)theNationalTrust和theTrust在文章開

頭以及文中反復(fù)出現(xiàn)，文章是一篇說(shuō)明文，主要目的是介紹theNationalTrust的機(jī)

構(gòu)性質(zhì)及其功能，因此選項(xiàng)A正確。文章未討論托管會(huì)的成員問(wèn)題，因此選項(xiàng)B

不正確。最后兩段雖然提到英國(guó)的自然景色很美，但這并非文章的主題思想，因此

選項(xiàng)C不對(duì)。本題最具干擾性的是選項(xiàng)D,但是本文并不是一篇議論文，其目的

不是讓讀者認(rèn)同其中的觀點(diǎn)，文章更多的是用說(shuō)明性的語(yǔ)言來(lái)說(shuō)明托管會(huì)的一些做

法。
