3、[C3]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：N

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：空格所在部分mostemployersattheentrylevel是修飾theway

anygivenjob—especiallyattheentrylevel可推知，本句的句意應(yīng)為：在初級(jí)階段，

招聘人員往往通過面試者對(duì)工作的態(tài)度來做出決定，故N)diffcrcntiatc”區(qū)分，區(qū)

別''為答案。

4、[C4]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：K

5、[C5]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：由卜文的youwilllikelybetheonechosen可知，愿意為了公司利益兢

兢業(yè)業(yè)努力奉獻(xiàn)的你才有可能被聘用，備選形容詞中的dedicaled可以組成短語be

dedicatedtosth.,與becommittedtosth.同義，意為“致力于...，獻(xiàn)身

6、[C6]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：L

noonebutthemselves”才華橫溢,但自私自利、只關(guān)心自己的超級(jí)明星”可推知,這

些superslar往往會(huì)高估自己，備選形容詞中的overrated”對(duì)（質(zhì)量、能力等）估價(jià)過

高的''符合句意，故L）為答案。

7、[C7]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：F

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：空格所在句有修飾iheperson的三個(gè)who引導(dǎo)的定語從句，前兩個(gè)從

句的意思是：“具有，我能，的工作態(tài)度的人；任何情況下都靠得住的人，由此可推

8、[C8]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

人”，而不是aflashysuperstarwhoisrunningat50%------anydayoftheweek”—周內(nèi)

每天的工作效率都是50%的超級(jí)明星”，故B）efficiency“效率”為答案。

9、[C9]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：I

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：結(jié)合句意：在面試中，你可以在自己的語言中加入諸如“積極的態(tài)

B、Theyusesensorstodetectthepresenceofspecificgases.

C、Theydetectthepresenceofspecificgasesbygatheringdataontheearth'svolcanoes.

D^Theirorbitsallowthemtoobservetheentireearthandpredictvolcaniceruptions.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第一段指出，恩維賽特的傳感器通過識(shí)別大氣中各種物質(zhì)的光學(xué)識(shí)別

標(biāo)記能測出像二氧化硫這類特有氣體的存在。這些可以預(yù)測即將到來的火山爆發(fā)。

故答案為B）“利用傳感器來測出特殊氣體的存在”。

22、Bysaying"moresatellitesareneededtogathersufficientdataontheearth's

D^satellitesusedtopredictvolcaniceruptionsarcnotsufficient

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第二段第三句指出艾伯拉穆斯博士還認(rèn)為，需要更多的衛(wèi)星收集足夠

的地球火山的資料，說明用來預(yù)測火山爆發(fā)的衛(wèi)星還不夠多，因此答案為D）。

A、areeffectiveinpredictinglahars

B、areusedallaroundtheworld

C、cancompletelypreventlahars

D、aresensitivetohigherfrequencies

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A」

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：山題干關(guān)鍵詞theNevadadelRuizvolcanoin1985位至第三段。第三

段講述了人們運(yùn)用聲學(xué)流動(dòng)監(jiān)控系統(tǒng)預(yù)測火山泥石流的優(yōu)勢。這樣，監(jiān)控系統(tǒng)就能

聽到很遠(yuǎn)之外的火山泥石流，并能創(chuàng)造較多的寶貴時(shí)間進(jìn)行撤離。該例子是為了說

明人們利用聲學(xué)流動(dòng)監(jiān)控器對(duì)火山泥石流的有效預(yù)測，故答案為A)o

24、Whatisthispassagemainlyabout?

A^Effectivecontrolovervolcaniceruptions.

B、Effectivepredictionaboutlahars.

C、Damageofvolcaniceruptionstohumanheings.

D、Perspectiveofpredictionaboutvolcaniceruptions.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：本文主要講述了科學(xué)家們利用衛(wèi)星系統(tǒng)預(yù)測火山爆發(fā)，以及利用衛(wèi)星

預(yù)測的制約因素，不過，目前的衛(wèi)星至少可以用作預(yù)先警報(bào)系統(tǒng)。另外，文章還講

述了利用流動(dòng)監(jiān)控系統(tǒng)對(duì)火山泥石流的預(yù)測。但作者在文章最后講了火山爆發(fā)的預(yù)

測前景令人擔(dān)憂，資金問題得不到落實(shí)，這也是本文的主旨所在。綜上所述，答案

為D)。

25、Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowardtheprospectofvolcaniceruptionprediction?

A、Pessimistic.

B、Skeptical.

C、Bothered.

D、Regretful.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第四段最后兩句指出“這項(xiàng)工作獲得資助尤為困難。這是每個(gè)人都應(yīng)

擔(dān)憂的問題。”這說明，作者對(duì)火山爆發(fā)的預(yù)測前景頗為擔(dān)憂，故答案為C)“擔(dān)憂

的”。

26Theword"plagued"(Line4,Para.1)probablymeans.

A、disturbed

B、interfered

C^suffered

D、annoyed

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：由題干提示定位至第一段第三句，由定位句可知，盡管這些國家的國

民生產(chǎn)總值增長率高，但它還是受到兩個(gè)嚴(yán)重的問題的困擾，后面談到的通貨膨脹

和失業(yè)，這兩個(gè)問題確實(shí)是阻撓性的，因此猜測plague意為“困擾，折磨，使苦

惱”，故選D)。

27、Whatseriouseconomicproblemhastroubleddevelopingeconomiesinspiteofthe

A、Populationgrowth.

Afallinprice.

C、Inflationandunemployment.

D^Afallinwages.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第一段第三句直接指出，是通貨膨脹與失業(yè)阻礙了經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展，故

C）正確。

28>Accordingtothepassage,itcanbeinferredthatoneoftheproblemsof

B、Berkeleyresidentsarequitecontentedwiththeirsurroundings.

C、TheairqualityaroundBcrkelcy,sschoolcampusesispoor.

D、ParentsinBerkeleyareover-sensitivetocancerriskstheirkidsface.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。艱據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞USAToday,定位至第一段第二句，調(diào)查

表明那些本自鳴得意的地方，如伯克利綠色村莊卻被指出是全國空氣質(zhì)量最差地區(qū)

之一。C選項(xiàng)poor與原文theworst為近義替換。A項(xiàng)僅是伯克利附近空氣質(zhì)量差

的一個(gè)表現(xiàn)。B項(xiàng)與原文大意恰好相反。原文并沒有提及D項(xiàng)。因此，正確答案

是Co

A、Aheateddebate.

B、Popularsupport.

C>Widespreadpanic.

D^Strongcriticism.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

cameout...haveengagedinafiercebattlcoheateddebate與原文I的afiercebattle相對(duì)

應(yīng)。即引發(fā)了激烈的討論。選項(xiàng)D為干擾項(xiàng)，屬于過度推測。

A、Iheyfeltverymuchrelieved.

Theywerefrightenedbytheevidence.

C^Theydidn'tknowwhotobelieve.

D、Theyweren'tconvincedoftheresults.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。題干問家長對(duì)專家研究的反應(yīng)。原文第二段第二句Withall

sidespresentingtheirownexpertsarmedwithconflictinzscientificstudies,whom

shouldparentsbelieve?在各方專家發(fā)表自己的觀點(diǎn)后，家長應(yīng)該相信誰?言下之意

指，家長不知道應(yīng)該相信誰。因此，正確答案是C

4、Whatistheviewofthe2004reportinthejournalPaediatrics?
