1、[Cl]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：空格是句子表語的一部分，在最高級標(biāo)記most之后，應(yīng)為形容詞。

根據(jù)句意“窮人通常最……其影響”,vulnerable“脆弱的；易受攻擊的”符合語義。

2、[C2]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：G

處講救災(zāi)人員不應(yīng)該做的事，根據(jù)句意“救援人員和決策者應(yīng)采取行動預(yù)防此類罕

見的災(zāi)難性事件，而不能到了危急關(guān)頭才……應(yīng)對"，simply符合句意。

3、[C3]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：M

知識點解析：rare和…disastrous并列修飾名詞events,此處需要副詞修飾

disastrouso副詞potentially”潛在地；可能地”符合句意，與anticipate“預(yù)測”在語義

上呼應(yīng)，potentiallydisastrousevents意為“可能造成災(zāi)難的事件”。

4、[C4]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：空格應(yīng)填入名詞，作謂語動詞hasgained的賓語。結(jié)合上一段提到的

內(nèi)容（要預(yù)防災(zāi)難性事件的發(fā)生）可以推斷，2008年世界遭受各種主要危機后，risk

management（危機處理）顯得越來越重要，故此處選用prominenceo

5、[C5]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：I

知識點解析：空格為名詞shocks的定語，可為名詞、形容詞或分詞。句中提到，

各類沖擊，尤其是健康、氣候的沖擊和經(jīng)濟危機，使窮人處于貧困線以下?？梢娺@

6、[C6]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：K

知識點解析：此處需填入動詞原形，構(gòu)成help（lo）dosth.。根據(jù)下文所舉例子（孟

加拉兩次臺風(fēng)造成的傷亡）可知，超前干預(yù)可以減少未來遭受的損失，offscTft

消‘補償''符合句意。

7、[C7]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：O

知識點解析：此處需填入與strength并列的名詞。本段對比了1970年和2007年臺

風(fēng)造成的傷亡人數(shù)。而只有在某些方面類似的東西，才具有可比性。

characteristics“特點”符合句子語義。

8、[C8]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：空格前的asystemofwarning..?提示空格處可能是動名詞，與

theseevents構(gòu)成動賓搭配。本段首句提到要進行超前干預(yù)，故填入空格的詞應(yīng)與

warning“預(yù)警”相關(guān)，forecasting符合上下語義。

9、[C9]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：J

知識點解析：空格應(yīng)填入動詞，構(gòu)成搭配belikelytodo,且可與介詞in搭配。本

資”符合上下語義。

10、[C10]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：H

知識點解析：could提示空格應(yīng)為動詞原形。本句大意是：如果不提前做好準(zhǔn)備，

以前的大部分發(fā)展成果可能付諸東流。句子使用條件句，主句部分講的是某種可能

性，risk”冒……的危險”符合語義。

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：N

造成雙重制度，某些網(wǎng)上用戶可以優(yōu)先申請貸款和保險，某些人卻沒有這種資格。

本段Mr.Meyer就這一問題發(fā)表了看法，并指出其公司相關(guān)系統(tǒng)已將不同用途的

數(shù)據(jù)庫資料區(qū)分開來。題目概括了該段第3句的主要意思，keep...apartfrom

eBureau根據(jù)客戶所在行業(yè)和提供的數(shù)據(jù)線索的數(shù)量來確定收費，每個分值3至75

美分不等。本題句子表述與此一致。

15、Thec-scorcisjustanotherindicationoftherisingScoredSociety.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：P

知識點解析：根據(jù)ScoredSocieiy定位至ijP段。從上文可知，該段笫1句中的i［指

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：根據(jù)socioeconomicslalus定位到D段。文中提到，直營公司長期對

消費者的社會經(jīng)濟地位排序，但電子商務(wù)走得更遠，將消費者的職業(yè)、薪酬等諸多

因素考慮在內(nèi)。題目內(nèi)容與該段第2、3句對應(yīng)。

17、AccordingtoastaffmemberofeBureau,thecompanyneithersellsconsumerdata

norkeepsthee-scoressenttoitsclients.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：O

有可能帶來高額利潤。從而幫助客戶選擇潛在消費群體。eBureau網(wǎng)站借用這一典

型案例，是為了說明其評定發(fā)揮了作用。題目概括了第2—3句的內(nèi)容，題目中的

查詢消費者信用記錄，如果消費者因信用記錄被拒絕申請信用卡或保險，則必須警

告他們。但聯(lián)邦法律的這些規(guī)定，尚未覆蓋新出現(xiàn)的評估分值。題目內(nèi)容來自該段

第3句，題目中的noexistingfederallaws對應(yīng)原文doesnotextendtoo

21、WhatmakesbuyinggiftsforChristmasbecomeachore?

A、Thepressureoftheholiday.

Thelackoftimelorshopping.

C^Theincreasingvarietyofgifts.

D、Thecommercializationoftheholiday.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：首段末句中的dyingdays和lastminute都表明是時間上的因素使圣誕

節(jié)的購物變成苦差事，因此本題應(yīng)選Bu

22、Whenbuyinggiftsinthelastminute,peopletendtobeconcernedabout.

A、choosingindividualgiftsfbrtherecipients

BNwhatisthemoresuitablegiftforaholiday

C、gettingagiftfbreveryone

D、towhomtheysendthegift

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：第2段第2句中的detachedfrom...表明在最后一刻才急匆匆地趕

去買禮物時，人們不考慮禮物的目的，不考慮送禮的對象，當(dāng)然也就不會考慮禮物

是否合適，也就是說，人們只是為了買禮物而買禮物，只想給每個人送禮，由此可

見，本題應(yīng)選C。

23、Aperfectgiftdiffersfromothergiftsintheir.

A、usefulness

B>meaningfulness

C^exquisiteness

D^artistry

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：第4段第2句中的message一詞表明完美禮物注重的是禮物表達的信

息，即其含義，因此本題應(yīng)選B。

24、The"gesture"(Line3,Para.5)mostprobablyrefersto.

A、givingthegifttotherecipient

B、choosingagiftwithselflesseffort

C、wrappingthegiftbeforesendingit

D、showingyourconcerntotherecipient

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：本題解題的關(guān)鍵在于理解末段第2句中的第2個分句。在這個分句

中，ihepleasure是主語，willradiate…是謂語，pleasure后that引出的是修飾

pleasure的定語從句，這樣就不難看出gesture是指該分句開頭的giving,由此可

見，本題應(yīng)選A。

25Inthispassage,theauthorismostlikelytopointout.

A、thebestwayofchoosingandgivingtherightgifts

B、theimportanceofthoughtfulnessinchoosingagift

C、thatone'slovefbrotherscanbestbedemonstratedbygifts

D、thatofferingagiftbenefitsboththegiverandthereceiver

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：本文在首段首句、第2段首句、第3段末句，以及末段第2句不斷強

調(diào)“贈送禮物時對贈送者和接受者而言都是一種快樂”這個主題，由此可見，本題應(yīng)

選Do

26、Theauthorismostprobablya.

A、hunter

B、biologist

C^journalist

D、traveler

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：文章第1段中作者指出用望遠鏡來觀察狼群，而從文章可以看出作者

對狼的生活習(xí)性很了解，在倒數(shù)第2段作者還敢盯著狼想要把它嚇退，從這些信息

都可以推斷作者很可能是一個生物學(xué)家，具有較多的專業(yè)知識，因此本題選B。

27、Whydidthewolvesignoretheauthor'spresence?

A、Becausehistentwasoutofthewolves5estateboundaries.

B、Becausetheauthorhasjustarrivedatthespot.

C>Becausethewolvesv/eretoobusytonoticehim.

D、Becausethewolveswereafraidofstrangers.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識之解析：在第2段狼群對作者的存在并不在意，但到了第4段末句，狼盯著作

者的帳篷，這其中的變化就在于第3段描寫的作者在狼群的領(lǐng)土范圍內(nèi)留下了自己

的記號，由此可推斷，在此之前狼群之所以忽視他的存在就是因為他不在狼群的領(lǐng)

土范圍之內(nèi)，即選項A為本題答案。

28、WhichofthefollowingisTRUEaboutthewolvesaccordingtothepassage?

A^Thewolvesdonotstartattackinghumansunlessirritatedbyhumans.

B、Thewolvesgohuntingatnightandgobacktothedensatdawn.

C、Thewolvesdonotrelyontheirsighttorecognizeboundaries.

D、Thewolvesmarktheirfamilyboundariesbymeansofwater.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：第4段首句和末段末句中的sniff一話都表明狼主要以嗅的方法確認

領(lǐng)地，因此選項C是正確的說法。

29、Thephrase"breaktheimpasseM（Line2,Para.5）isclosesttothemeaningof

A^avoidbeingattacked

B、breaktheice

C、triggerhostility

D、defeattheenemy

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B'

知識點解析：從倒數(shù)第2段第2句中的intolerable一詞可以知道作者和狼當(dāng)時處在

一個僵持的局面，作者對此已經(jīng)覺得難以忍受，因此主動先采取行動，且的是為了

試探狼的舉動，由此可見，選項B是最貼切的理解。

30、Whichofthefollowingbestexplainsthereasonwhytheauthorstakesoutanareaof

hisown?

A、Hethoughtitbettertobestaredatthantobeignored.

B、Hedidn'twantthewolvestousethetrackpasthistent.

C、Hewantedthewolvestotakenoticeofhisexistence.

D、Hewantedtofindouthowfiercethewolfsglarewas.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識之解析：從第3段第2句開始，作者描述了如何劃定自己的領(lǐng)土，所有這些描

K[Cl]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：H

知識點解析：此處需填入動詞原形與make,lose并列作主語從句的謂語。結(jié)交朋

友(make)、失去朋友(lose)的中間階段是擁有，詞庫中maintain“維持”符合此處語

義。

2、[C2]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：F

知識點解析：此處需填入修飾well-being的詞。友情應(yīng)是在精神層面對我們的幸福

感起影響,故選emotional”感情上的"。

3、[C3]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：O

知識點解析：空格將動詞included及其賓語areduction分隔開，且前后都有逗號，

應(yīng)填入副詞。此句意為有了朋友的陪伴，病人從外科手術(shù)中恢復(fù)的過程要減少很多

痛苦。incredibly”難以置信地”說明朋友的神奇作用。呼應(yīng)本段首句所說的朋友能夠

改善我們生活的各個方面。

4、[C4]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：G

知識點解析：填入空格的詞與bereavement并列，應(yīng)為名詞且包含消極的詞義色

彩，divorce“離婚”符合比處語義。

5、[C5]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：此處需填入修飾effecl的詞，可為名詞、形容詞或分詞。承接上一

句，木句講的是即便只是普通朋友也能對我們有所幫助，故填入的詞應(yīng)表積極意

義，positive”積極的；正面的”符合語義。

6、[C6]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：M

知識點解析：副詞socially提示此處需填入分詞或形容詞。前面指出，朋友的作用

可能只是陪伴。冒號后的內(nèi)容進行解釋，有人陪著一起喝酒自然不會覺得……。

isolated“孤獨的”符合句意。

7、[C7]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：may表明此處需填入動詞原形，作謂語。根據(jù)句意：雖然我們會……

一些兒時的伙伴，但建立友誼最佳的時期是在上大學(xué)時。動詞庫中retain、'保持；保

留''符合句意。

8、[C8]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：K

知識點解析：此處需填入動詞過去式，作謂語。Ihesefriendships指代大學(xué)期間建立

的友誼，它可以在20年后依然很親密，可見即使受外在不利因素影響（距離遙遠、

平均搬6次家），這種友誼仍能“幸存下來”，survived符合上下文語義。

9、[C91

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：空格前的such表明此處需填入名詞。在大學(xué)能夠培養(yǎng)親密的友誼是

因為有很長一段時間可以相處，proximity”接近；親近”符合語義，與上文的

closeness呼應(yīng)。

10、[C10]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：J

知識點解析：空格作句子的表語，可為名詞、形容詞或分詞。根據(jù)空格后的“難以

復(fù)制”可知，這些關(guān)系很珍貴，rare”罕見的；珍奇的”符合語義。
