1、[Cl]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：G

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處需填入名詞、形容詞或動(dòng)詞分詞?？崭窈蟮膇na…document表明

無(wú)煙區(qū)立法的可能性在這個(gè)文件中寫(xiě)明了或體現(xiàn)了，outlined“概述”符合語(yǔ)境。

2、[C2]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：E

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)填入動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞，與has構(gòu)成完成時(shí)態(tài)，賓語(yǔ)是anti-

smokingprogrammes（反吸煙方案）。第一段末句提到紐約市的官員們最近開(kāi)始考慮

在公園和戶(hù)外禁止吸煙，由此推斷MichaelBloomberg應(yīng)該是支持反吸煙方案的。

championed“支持，擁護(hù)”符合上下文語(yǔ)義。

3、（C31

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：0

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：空格前的the表明此處需填入名詞。本文都在講有關(guān)禁煙的事情，故

填restrictions”限制”，指出MichaelBloomberg似乎開(kāi)始對(duì)吸煙限制的程度持保留

態(tài)度（qualify）。

4、[C4]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處需填入名詞、形容詞或分詞，修飾impact”影響，沖擊:因?yàn)槊?/p>

臨再次參選，MichaelBloomberg好像對(duì)禁煙的程度持保留態(tài)度，他想先弄清楚在

公園吸煙是否對(duì)健康有不良影響，因而填negative“負(fù)面的”。再者，impacl這個(gè)詞

本身就含有不好的影響之意。

5、[C5]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：I

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處需填入修飾possible的副詞。logistically“邏輯上”符合此處語(yǔ)

義，指“在幾千萬(wàn)英畝的地區(qū)實(shí)行禁令邏輯上也許行不通

6、[C6]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：F

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處需填入名詞，與in構(gòu)成地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)。根據(jù)后文suchas所列舉的地

方，可知此句講的是“除了一些特定情況，室外應(yīng)該允許吸煙“，circumstances”小

境；情況''符合句意。

7、[C7]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：J

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處需填入primarily修飾的形容詞或分詞，與forchildren一起作

outdoorareas的后置定語(yǔ)。此處大意是：這些戶(hù)外場(chǎng)所主要是給孩子用的，

designated”指定”符合語(yǔ)義。

8、[C81

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處應(yīng)填入名詞、形容詞或分詞，作表語(yǔ)，說(shuō)明fines（罰款）應(yīng)該是什

么樣的。ChristineQuinn是贊同禁煙計(jì)劃的,所以罰款應(yīng)是modes儼適當(dāng)?shù)摹?而非

mild“溫和的,輕微的”。

9、[C9]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：L

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：空格后用but轉(zhuǎn)折，根據(jù)increasing可知此處應(yīng)填入表數(shù)量稀少的形

容詞或分詞，作表語(yǔ)。rare“稀少的”符合要求。

10、[C10]

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：N

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此處需填入動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞，與have一起構(gòu)成現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。上一句

提到加利福利亞州起了帶頭的作用(vanguard),可見(jiàn)它的立法委員“禁止”在所有的

州立公園和一部分海灘吸煙，prohibited符合句意。

A、thenumberofoverweightpeoplehasastonishinglyincreased

peoplehaveadifferentideaabouttheirdesirableweightnow

C^overweightbecomesathreattopeople'shealth

D、theoverweightproblemhaslongbeenstudied

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：作者在第2段第2句定義了超重的概念，雖然沒(méi)有明確指出為什么要

以超出20%為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，但是從下一句中的插入成分even…可以推斷，以前并非以

20%為超重的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的，現(xiàn)在以此為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是因?yàn)槿藗儗?duì)理想體重的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)改變了，因此

選項(xiàng)B為本題答案。

22、Bysaying"Soaretheattendanthealthrisks",theauthormeans.

A、Americasuffershealthrisksaswellastheoverweightproblem

B>healthrisksresultedfromoverweightareserioustoo

C、overweightisclassifiedasoneofthehealthproblems

D^peoplehavealsopaymuchattentiontothepossiblehealthrisks

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：本題考點(diǎn)是一個(gè)倒裝句。第2段主要指出肥胖問(wèn)題很?chē)?yán)重，可以推斷

本句中的so指的是thehealthrisks也很?chē)?yán)重。第3段第2句表明超重造成各種健康

問(wèn)題，由此可推斷本段首句中的Iheattendanthealthrisks可理解為“超重造成對(duì)健康

的危害”，結(jié)合這兩點(diǎn)的理解，可推斷選項(xiàng)B為本題答案。

23、WhatdoesWilliamDietzthinkofoverweight?

A、Overweightshouldbetreatedasapublichealthproblem.

Overweightshouldbeattributedtogluttonyandsloth.

C、Overweighthasmuchtodowithnutritionalproblems.

D、Overweighthasnothingtodowiththeoveruseofcars.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第5段首句是WiHiamDietz對(duì)肥胖癥的看法，句中的obesilyasa

publichealthproblem表明Dietz認(rèn)為肥胖癥是一個(gè)公共健康問(wèn)題，因此選項(xiàng)A為本

題答案。

24、MostAmericansbelievethat.

A、theoverweightproblemhascostthenationmuch

B、obesityisrelatedtoone'sphysicalconditions

C、peoplewhoareoverv/eightareunfortunate

D、gluttonyandslotharetwodeadlysins

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第6段句末的twoofthesevendeadlysins指的就是該段第3句提到的

gluttonyandsloth,由此可見(jiàn)，選項(xiàng)D為本題答案。

25>Inordertosolvetheoverweightproblem,theauthorsuggeststhateveryoneneedto

A、betaughttopreventgainingweight

B、beeducatedtoloseweighteffectively

C>seekhelpfromconsumerinformation

D、knowwhatmakesahealthydinner

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析:第7段第1、2句表明preventinggain的做法比較可行，而第8段末

句表明educalion很重要，結(jié)合這兩點(diǎn)，可推斷選項(xiàng)A為本題答案。

D、Theculturethattheyarcnotfamiliarwith.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：c
