B、communicatebetweenthepovertycampaignersandworldleaders

C、eliminateagriculturalsubsidiestoopenmoremarketsforpoorcountries

D^regulatetheemissionsinvolvingbothdevelopedanddevelopingcountries

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)題干中的newpoint查到第3段第1句，該句指出這次峰會(huì)broke

newground(破天荒第一次)把povertycampaigners與theworld'seightmostpowerful

leaders召集在一起。所以選項(xiàng)B是正確答案。

2、ThefollowingissueswerecoveredinG8summitEXCEPT.

A、aidtoAfrica

B、worldtrade

C^climatechange

D、anti-terroristaction

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)題干查到第8段，該段最后一句明確指出峰會(huì)討論了對(duì)非洲的援

助、氣候變化和世界貿(mào)易，只有選項(xiàng)D未被提及，所以選項(xiàng)D是正確答案。

B、thisG8summitisonlyastatementofzealtomeetallthepowerfulleaders

C、thisG8summitisofgreatsuccesstosomeextentinspiteoflittleachievement

D、G8countriesallplayedaleadingroleinreducingcarbondioxideemissions

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C-

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：文章開頭三段充分肯定了這次峰會(huì)的成功。但從第4段開始，文章指

出峰會(huì)不可能解決所有問題、問題也很難解決、領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人在具體目標(biāo)和時(shí)間制定上的

猶豫不決等等，可見，這次峰會(huì)雖然成功，實(shí)效不大。所以選項(xiàng)C是正確答案.

A、ploughthefieldsforcultivation

B、cutthewoodsforagriculture

C、obtainusefultoolsforwork

D、minemorecoals

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)題干中theantlers查找至第2段，該段第3句指出antler(鹿角)被

用作miningpickslohackflintsandchalk(挖掘燧石和白堊的工具)，而根據(jù)下面的段

落可看出燧石等是新石器時(shí)代的人用來開荒種田的，所以C是正確答案。

C^coulddeterminetheintelligenceofNeolithicmanbythefingerprints

D、oncehelpedsolveamurdercasebydiscriminatingthefingerprints

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)題目選項(xiàng)查到第8段，該段說明Lambourne的發(fā)現(xiàn)曾幫助偵破

一起謀殺案，所以選項(xiàng)D是正確答案。

7、TheattitudeofChiefSuperintendentLambournetowardsthefindingsis.

A^optimistic

B、prudent

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)題干定位到原文第2段，該段第2句指出在挪威每個(gè)人都享有度

假的權(quán)利，所以奶農(nóng)自然也不例外，選項(xiàng)B是正確答案。

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第3段講述挪威高福利體現(xiàn)在哪些方面。其中產(chǎn)假是全薪42周長(zhǎng)

假，而病假可長(zhǎng)達(dá)一年。選項(xiàng)C把這兩個(gè)事實(shí)混在一起了，所以是本題正確答

案。

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：在選項(xiàng)A中，用rainy-day來暗喻“困難時(shí)期"。nationalrainy-dayfund

A^PovertyandPrivilege

B、TheTraditionalEquality

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：本文雖涉及挪威特殊群體的特權(quán)、傳統(tǒng)意義上的平等和傳統(tǒng)的挪威人

等等，但討論的重點(diǎn)即文章主題是挪威的福利政策，其他都是圍繞福利政策的說明

和延展，顯然D是正確選項(xiàng)。

EXCEPTthat

A、itisafatbusinessthatattractsmanytraffickers

B、itcanmakemoremoneybuthaslessrisk

C、somecountriesdidnotexecutelawsproperly

D、criminalsalwaysslippedawaywithoutbeingnoticed

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D\

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：解答此題需定位到原文第2段。全段給出了現(xiàn)代奴隸貿(mào)易難以根除的

原因，包括了選項(xiàng)A、B、C提到的三點(diǎn)，但D在原文中沒有提到，而且句中若出

現(xiàn)類似always這類副詞往往與事實(shí)不符，所以D是正確答案。

13、Whichofthefollowingadjectivesbestdescribestheauthor'streatmentofthetopic?

A、Subjective.

B、Positive.

C、Negative.

D、Prejudiced.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此題考查作者的態(tài)度，解答此題需通覽全文，把握基調(diào)。從全文可以

讀出作者對(duì)世界奴隸貿(mào)易現(xiàn)狀是持批評(píng)態(tài)度的。他語調(diào)客觀，不帶有偏見，但他的

態(tài)度絕不是肯定態(tài)度，而是否定態(tài)度，因此正確答案是C。

14、Therelationshipbetweenthefirstandsecondparagraphsisthat.

A、eachpresentsoneaspectofihemodernslavetrade

B、bothpresentsthefaultsofthemodernslavetrade

C、thefirstisthelogicalresultofthesecond

D^(hefirstgeneralizes(hesecondwithexamples

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：此題考查考生分析段與段之間邏輯關(guān)系的能力。文章第I段描述的是

現(xiàn)代奴隸貿(mào)易的猖獗，第2段講它難以根除的原因，顯然這兩段的關(guān)系是先果后

因。正確答案是C。

二、簡(jiǎn)答題(本題共8題，每題上0分，共8分。)

PassageOne

15、WhathasthisG8meetingachievedaccordingtothepassage?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：The$50bn(￡28.8bn)Africaaidboostanddebt-cancellation.

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)題目查到第1段最后一句。該句表明它取得了前所未有的成果，

It指的是上文提到的G8meeting。該句破折號(hào)和suchas一詞用于舉例其中的一個(gè)

成果：取消非洲債務(wù)并給予援助，故答案為The$50bn(￡28.8bn)Africaaidboost

anddebt-cancellationo

16、WherewilltheG8'srealresolvebetestedaccordingtoSchiffcrcs?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：Atthreekeymeetingslaterthisyear.

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)題目中的theG8'srealresolvebetested定位到第4段第2句。該

句Schiffcres寫到今年遲些時(shí)候有活動(dòng)家和其他人將會(huì)在三場(chǎng)重要會(huì)議中檢驗(yàn)G8

的真決心.可見答案為Atthreekeymeetingslaterthisyear。

17、WhatcausesglobalwarmingaccordingtotheUS?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：Humanactivity.

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)題目中的globalwanning定位到倒數(shù)第2段最后一句，該句指出

美國(guó)被迫承認(rèn)氣候變化由人類活動(dòng)引起，所以答案為Humanactivityo

18、PassageTwoWhyisthemuseum'sdeputydirectorsoexcitedaboutthe

fingerprints?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：Becausetheymaybeevidenceofintelligentbutilliteratepeople.

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)題目中的museum,sdeputydirector和excited查到露5段，該段

最后一句說明鹿角泥巴上竹指紋也許能證明鹿角使用者雖不識(shí)字卻很聰明，這正是

這位depulydirector感到非常興奮和激動(dòng)的原因所在，故本題答案可表述為

Becausetheymaybeevidenceofintelligentbutilliteratepeopleo

19、PassageThreeWhatdocsthephrase''flauntingone,smoney'*inthelastbuttwo

paragraphmean?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：Showingoffone'smoney.

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：flauntingone、money中的flaunl是“炫耀，夸示”的意思，在倒數(shù)第3

段flaunt出現(xiàn)的上下文中，有conspicuousconsumption“炫耀性消費(fèi)”這類的線索幫

助我們確定flaunt的意思是showoff,因此答案為Showingoffone'smoneyo

PassageFour

20、Whatdoestheword"appallingly"inthefirstparagraphprobablymean?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：Terribly.

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析:原文中appallingly修飾high,該句意為“盡管近來情況有所改善,牽

涉到奴隸貿(mào)易的相關(guān)人員數(shù)量仍然_______大”，據(jù)此可肯定appallingly不是褒義

詞。appall是“使驚駭”之義，可見叩pallingly意為“駭人聽聞地"，故答來為

Terribly。

21、Whatistheadvantageoftheinternetincombatingtrafficking?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：Ithelpstoidentifyandtrackdowntheperpetrators.

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)題目中的theinlemet定位到第4段第2句。該句前半部分說互聯(lián)

網(wǎng)有助于識(shí)別和跟蹤罪犯，即為互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的好處；后半部分說它也有問題，即為互聯(lián)

網(wǎng)的不足，可見答案在于該句的前半部分，即為IIhelpsloidenlifyandlrackdown

theperpetrators?

22>Whatdeterminescountries,beingrankedinto3tiers?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：America'sTraffickingVictimsProtectionActof2000.
