1、[Cl]

標準答案：D

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

2、[C2]

標準答案：G

知識點解析：此處需填入副詞，修飾動名詞responding。轉(zhuǎn)折詞insteadof表明此

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]

標準答案：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]

標準答案：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]

消‘補償''符合句意。

7、[C7]

標準答案：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

characteristics“特點”符合句子語義。

8、[C8]

標準答案：A

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

events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。

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

致，B為本題答案。

14、TheamountoffeeseBureauasksforrangesfromthreetoseventy-fivecentsper

score.

標準答案：K

知識點解析：根據(jù)threetoseventy-fivecents定位到K段。該段倒數(shù)第4句提到

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。

16、E-scoresdomuchmorethanevaluateconsumers'socioeconomicstatus.

標準答案：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

知識點解析；根據(jù)題H中的aprepaiddebitcardissuer定位至L段。文中舉例

eBureau為一家預(yù)付借記卡發(fā)行商的潛在消費者進行排名。消費者的分值越高就越

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noexitingfederallaws對應(yīng)原文doesnotextendto。

21、WhatmakesbuyinggiftsforChristmasbecomeachore?

A、Thepressureoftheholiday.

Thelackoftimelorshopping.

C^Theincreasingvarietyofgifts.

D、Thecommercializationoftheholiday.

標準答案：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

標準答案：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

標準答案：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

標準答案：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

標準答案：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

biologist

C^journalist

D、traveler

標準答案：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.

標準答案：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.

標準答案：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"breaktheimpasse'*(Line2,Para.5)isclosesttothemeaningof

A^avoidbeingattacked

B、breaktheice

C、triggerhostility

D、defeattheenemy

標準答案：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，目的是為了

試探狼的舉動，由此可見，選項B是最貼切的理解。

30、Whichofthefollowingbestexplainsthereasonwhytheauthorstakesoutanarsaof

hisown?

A、Hethoughtitbettertobestaredatthantobeignored.

B、Hedidn'twantthewolvestousethetrackpasthistent.

C、Hewantedthewolvestotakenoticeofhisexistence.

D、Hewantedtofindouthowfiercethewolfsglarewas.

標準答案：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

述都是圍繞該段首句展開的，選項C就是本題答案。

1、Whatcanwesafelyinferfromthefirstparagraph?

A、Manybeekeepersdon'tcontinuetheirworkinwin:cr.

Manyhoneybeesflytoothercountriesinwinter.

C>Anumberofhoneybeesdiefromthelowtemperature.

D、Coldweathermayposeadverseeffectonhoneybees.

標準答案：D

知識點解析:推斷題。文章第一段講到Honeybeepopulationsdeclinedby13.6%

overthewinter,accordingtoasurveyofbeekeepersacrossEngland.Lossesweremost

severeinlhenorth-east,wherethesurveyrecordedalossrateof17.1%.（英國蜂農(nóng)

調(diào)查，蜜蜂數(shù)量在冬天下降了13.6%,而東北部的損失尤其嚴重，損失率達到

17.1%。）,英國位于北半球，冬季非常寒冷，而在冬天，英國東北部比英國其他

地區(qū)氣溫更低，文章講到英國東北部損失率更高，由此可知，越寒冷，蜜蜂損失率

越高，那么寒冷天氣可能會對蜜蜂產(chǎn)生不良影響。因此，正確答案是D。

2、WhichofthefollowingisnotthereasonoflesshoneyinBritainaccordingto

工廠生產(chǎn)力的下降和一些地區(qū)的干旱情況是專家擔心蜂蜜產(chǎn)量下降的三大因素，而

B項“蜂農(nóng)明顯減少”文宣并未提及，不能構(gòu)成蜂蜜產(chǎn)量下降的原因。
