littletosatisfytheappetite”陳述相反；B選項未提及；C選項必須通讀原文至最后一

段可知是對“norabasicnecessity”的曲解；可先跳過C選項直接做D選項，發(fā)現(xiàn)D

選項內(nèi)容和第四段“endupasexcessenergythatthebodyultimatelyturnstofat”內(nèi)容

致，故選D。

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：細節(jié)題。艱據(jù)題干中的“credibility”定位至原文第六段“The

AmericanBeverageAssociation,whichtakesmajorcreditforan88percentreductionin

sugarcdsodacaloriesinthenatioifsschools,hasseriouslyundermineditscredibility

withadsopposingtheso-calledsodatax.C選項"didn'tsupport”是對“opposing”的

同義轉(zhuǎn)換，故選C。

5、Whatishousewives,attitudetowardsthesodatax?

A、Indifferent.

Supporting.

C、Suspicious.

D、Disapproving.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：態(tài)度題。艱據(jù)題干中的“housewives”定位至原文第七段“In

association—sponsoredcommercialsontelevisionandradio,housewivesspoutthe

ridiculousar-gumentthatsuchataxwouldmakeitmoredifficultforthemtofeedtheir

families.D選項“disapproving”是對"ridiculous,makeitmoredifficultfbrthem...”

的同義轉(zhuǎn)換，說明家庭主婦并不支持該項稅收，故選D。

6、Accordingtothepassage,thegreatestpartofthesolarenergythatreachestheEarth

A、concentratedintheinfraredspectrum

B、concentratedatvisiblewavelengths

C、absorbedbycarbondioxidemolecules

D、absorbedbyatmosphericwatervapour

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：細節(jié)題。限據(jù)第一段Althoughthesemoleculesallowradiationat

visiblewavelengths,wheremostoftheenergyofsunlightisconcentrated,topass

through,theyabsorbsomeofthelonger-wavelength,infraredemissionsradiatedfrom

theEarth'ssurface,radiationthatwouldotherwisebe(ransmittedbackintospace.“盡

是，它們吸收一些來自地球表面具有較長波長的紅外線輻射，這些輻射原木是應(yīng)該

傳回太空的。''可知大部分的日光能量集中在了可見光波長，句中sunlight和題干

solar互為對應(yīng)點，所以B選項表達正確。

7、Accordingtothepassage,whichofthefollowingistrueofthelasthundredyears?

A、Fossilfuelswereburnedforthefirsttime.

B、Greateramountsoflandwereclearedthanatanytimebefore.

C、TheaveragetemperatureattheEarth'ssurfacehasbecome2℃cooler.

D、Theamountofcarbondioxideintheatmospherehasincreasedmeasurably.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：細節(jié)題。取據(jù)lasthundredyears定位到笫一段Theburningoffossil

fuclsandtheclearingofforestshaveincreasedatmosphericcarbondioxidebyabout

15percentinthelasthundredyears"礦物燃料的燃燒和森林的砍伐使大氣不的:氧化

碳在過去的百年中增加了大約15%”可知D選項正確。

8、Whichofthefollowingbestdescribestheauthor'sattitudetowardtheincreasing

amountofcarbondioxideintheatmosphereanditsconsequences?

A^Incredulous.

B、Completelydetached.

C、Objectiveyetconcerned.

D^Angryyetresigned.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：推斷題。根據(jù)theincreasingamountofcarbondioxideintheatmosphere

定位到第二段。作者在第二段中首先提出二氧化碳過多的現(xiàn)狀，然后找到原因-

礦物燃料的燃燒、森林的砍伐和排放的二氧化碳。之后作者提出問題一二氧化碳

的增加會導(dǎo)致全球的平均溫度升高嗎?會帶來嚴(yán)重后果嗎?作者通過數(shù)字模型很客觀

地計算出二氧化碳增加與氣溫升高的關(guān)系，得出結(jié)論——答案是肯定的。作者邏輯

縝密，表達客觀，但是字里行間表現(xiàn)出對二氧化碳過多這一問題的關(guān)注。所以答案

選C。

9、Itcanbeconcludedfrominformationcontainedinthepassagethattheaverage

temperatureatanaltitudeof1kilometreabovetheEarthis.

A、15℃

B、9℃

C、2.5℃

D、-12℃

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：推斷題。眼據(jù)原文第三段Underpresentconditionsatemperatureof-

18℃canbeobservedatanaltitudeof5to6kilometresabovetheEarth.Belowthis

altitude(calledtheradiatinglevel),thetemperatureincreasesbyabout6℃per

kilometreapproachingtheEarth'ssurface,wheretheaveragetemperatureisabout

15。仁“在目前的環(huán)境下，在海拔五六千米的高度可以觀測到?18式的氣溫，這一高

度被稱作輻射水平面。在這一高度以下，距離地面每下降一千米溫度就升高6。。

到達地面的時平均溫度約為15?？凇笨捎嬎氵@道數(shù)學(xué)題。地面的時平均溫度約為

15℃o從地面每上升一千米溫度就降低6。。那么距離地表一千米的地方溫度應(yīng)為

9℃,選B。

10、Itcanbeinferredfromthepassagethattheconstructionofthemathematicalmodel

mentionedinthepassageinvolvedtheformulationofwhichofthefollowing?

A、Anassumptionthattheamountofcarbondioxideaddedtotheatmospherewouldin

realitysteadilyincrease.

B、Anassumptionthathumanactivitiesaretheonlyagenciesbywhichcarbondioxide

isaddedtotheatmosphere.

C、Assumptionsaboutthesocialandpoliticalconsequencesofanycurtailmentofthe

useoffossilfuels.

D^Assumptionsaboutthephysicalconditionsthatarelikelytoprevailduringtheperiod

forwhichthemodelwasmade.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：細節(jié)題。艱據(jù)theconstructionofthemathematicalmodel定位到最后一

段。數(shù)字模型預(yù)言大氣中增加一倍的二氧化碳將會使全球的平均地表溫度升高

2.5℃o而這一模型假定大氣的相對濕度保持不變，該段解釋的過程中有一個定

量，是恒定的相對濕度。D選項題干中的thephysicalconditionsthatarelikelyto

prevail是對原文constantrelativehumidity的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，因此正確答案為Do

B、Becauseithelpsyoutolosefat.

C、Becauseithelpstogainmuscle.

D、Becauseithelpsyoutofinishatriathlonasquicklyaspossible.

知識點解析：細節(jié)題。限據(jù)第三段it'svitaitohaveagoaltoworktoward.Knov/ing

知識點解析：細節(jié)題。限據(jù)原文第七段Manypeopleavoidtheirweakpointsorbad

D、isnotclearlyknownyet

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：細節(jié)題。眼據(jù)第二段Butnooneyetknowswhatitisthatputs

overweightpassengersatextrarisk.可知體重較重的人比體重較輕的人在車禍中死亡

或負重傷的可能性大，但是目前尚不清楚是什么使胖人面臨額外的危險，所以D

選項表達正確。

17、Whichoneofthefollowingpeopleisthemostlikelytogetkilledinacaraccident?

A^Amanwhoweighs60kilograms.

B、Amanwhoweighs50kilograms.

C、AmanwhoseBMIis35.

D、AmanwhoseBMIis20.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：推斷題。根據(jù)第三、四、五段內(nèi)容可知，體重介于100到119公斤的

人在車禍中喪生的可能性幾乎是體重在60公斤以下的人的2.5倍。BMI(人體綜

合指數(shù))介于35到39之間的人，其在車禍中死亡的可能性是BMI大約為20的人

的兩倍。四個選項中C選項BMI為35的人比其他三人發(fā)生交通事故的可能性大，

所以選C。

18、Accordingtothepassage,whichofthefollowinghasnoconnectionwithobesity?

A、Higherrateofdepression.

Higherdeathrateintrafficaccidents.

C、Higherinjuryrateintrafficaccidents.

D、Difficultyinrecoveringfromatrafficinjury.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：推斷題。B、C選項肥胖的人在車禍中死亡、重傷的可能性大.是前

文出現(xiàn)過的內(nèi)容;根據(jù)第八段Besides,obesepeople,withhealthproblemssuchas

外，患有高血壓或者糖尿病的肥胖者，受傷后較難康復(fù)?！笨芍嚨満筝^難恢復(fù)也

和肥胖有關(guān)，D表達正確。只有A選項內(nèi)容文章沒有涉及.所以選A。

19、Theword"legitimate"(Line2,Para.9)maybereplacedby.

A、lawful

B、reasonable

C、casual

D、close

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：推斷題。原文第九段該空所在句意為,‘弗吉尼亞大學(xué)研究撞擊生物力

學(xué)的專家理查德?肯特認為，新的研究已經(jīng)在肥胖癥與重傷或死亡之間建立起了一

種關(guān)聯(lián)性”。聯(lián)系下一句內(nèi)容，知道肯特的研究沒有把高個子與超重者混淆，說明

他的研究是可信的、成立的，推斷l(xiāng)egitimate意思是“合理的“，與reasonable為近

義詞.因此選B。

20、Whatisthemainideaofthepassage?

A、Heavypeopleandlightpeople.

B、Newsafetymeasures.

C、Obesityandriskindriving.

D、Obesityandsafetybelts.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：主旨題。文章第一、八段都明確表示了文章的主題：體重較重的人比

體重較輕的人在車禍中死亡或負重傷的可能性大。而且在其他段落用一系列的調(diào)

查、課題研究和領(lǐng)域?qū)＜业膶嵗龑Τ睾徒煌ㄊ鹿实年P(guān)系嘗試做出現(xiàn)有的解釋，C

“數(shù)年來，在電視訪談節(jié)目中，這兩個節(jié)目一直處于領(lǐng)先地位……并擁有龐大而固

定的觀眾群“，可知只有D與文中所陳述的意思相符。

A、remainindifferenttothem

B、arewillingtogetinvolvedinthem

C^remainfascinatedbythem

D、arereadytofaceupto由em

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：根據(jù)文章第2段最后一句說“顯然，JerrySpringer的訪談節(jié)目展示和

揭露了社會的道德災(zāi)難，但人們卻樂意關(guān)注別人生活中遇到的困難”，特別是eai

up,inlriguing等詞說明了人們對該節(jié)目十分著迷，因此，A與文中所陳述的意思

相悖；C與文中所表達的意思相符；B、D文中沒有提及。

個人生活質(zhì)量的提高。其話題包括培養(yǎng)孩子的責(zé)任感，安排自己一周的工作H程及

認識你的鄰居等”，D屬于前面所提到的內(nèi)容，與文章所陳述的意思相符；A和B

都極有可能是Jerry訪談節(jié)目的內(nèi)容，與題意不符；C文中并沒有提及。

知識點解析：根據(jù)文章第5段“Oprah的節(jié)目主要是針對中產(chǎn)階級”和“Jerry的節(jié)目

針對的則是年輕人“可知，這兩個節(jié)目分別迎合不同觀眾的口味，A與文章內(nèi)容相

符；文中并沒有提到這兩個節(jié)目的具體播出時間，B錯；根據(jù)文章第1段：在美國

娛樂界，電視訪談節(jié)目充斥了日間電視屏幕，而這兩個節(jié)目只是處于領(lǐng)先而非“壟

斷”地位，故C錯；D無原文依據(jù)。
