Initially,choosegentleroutesamongfamiliarterrainorriskshoulder-carriers!

A、long-term

elongated

C、prolonged

D、lengthened

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：

知識(shí)之解析C：本題后半句的意思是，”要在熟悉的范圍內(nèi)選擇比較平緩的路線，否

則有可能長時(shí)間地用肩扛著自行車?！癝houlder-camers在這里指“（騎車人成了）扛車

的人”。A項(xiàng)long—term用于指“（從現(xiàn)在到將來持續(xù)的）很長一段時(shí)間”或者“與將來

發(fā)生的事件有聯(lián)系”，ill：long-termplan,而本句指的是一次性事件，所以不合

適。其他3個(gè)選項(xiàng)的共同點(diǎn)都是“把……拉長”，但B項(xiàng)elongaled僅指在空間上拉

長，如：Thenoseistoomuchelongated.D項(xiàng)lengthened可以指空間也可以指時(shí)間，

如:Theroadcouldbelengthened.和HelengthenedhisstayinBeijingo但C項(xiàng)

prolonged與elongated和lenglhened不同的是，它指“持續(xù)到超過正常的時(shí)間限度”

或“延長正常的時(shí)間限度”，恰好符合本句的意思，因?yàn)?，在騎車爬山運(yùn)動(dòng)中，有時(shí)

扛車是難免的，但如果選擇路線正確，扛車的時(shí)間就不會(huì)太長，反之，扛車的時(shí)間

就會(huì)延長。

management.

A、regretful

B、regrettable

C、regretting

D^regretted

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：C和D是分詞形式，不符合句子結(jié)構(gòu)要求；regrelful的主語多為人；

regrettable指“（某事物）令人遺憾的?？上У摹埃纾篩ourchoiceoffriendsis

regrettable.你對(duì)朋友的選擇實(shí)在不怎么樣。故本題選B。

8、Itcomesasnosurprisethatsocietieshavecodesofbehavior.Thecharacterofthe

codes,ontheotherhand,canoftenbe.

A、predictable

說不能高效率地檢測(cè)；而D說能很高效率地檢測(cè)。根據(jù)原文：securityscreeners

failedtodetectknives70%ofthetime,guns30%ofthetimeandsimulatedexplosives

60%ofthetime.該題答案很容易判斷應(yīng)該為C。

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：infamous聲名狼藉的。

45、WhichoneisNOTtrueaccordingtothepassage?

thegenerals.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：文章開頭就指出，美國軍界及其文職上司的矛盾由來已久，但是這個(gè)

貌似脆弱的分享權(quán)力的體系，卻是二百多年來美國軍事勝利的保障。

47、Thephrase"theuniformedelite"inparagraphonemostprobablyrefersto.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第1段接著說美國歷史見證了一系列的在白宮、國務(wù)卿和軍界領(lǐng)袖之

間的權(quán)利轉(zhuǎn)移。這里“穿制服的精英”指的是軍界的領(lǐng)袖。

48Accordingtothepassage,Washington.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：文章第2段說華盛頓穿上制服親臨前線指揮，身體力行了憲法中總統(tǒng)

是總司令的條款。

49、WhywastheputtingofGrantinchargeoftheUnionArmyanimportantdecision?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：文章第4段說，林肯與格蘭特之間的合作堪稱典范，格蘭特從不懷疑

林肯的政治決定。

50、Inthelastparagraph,theauthorimpliesthat.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：文章前面說林肯樹立了典范，最后一段又說羅斯福身為前軍人，做得

比哪一屆總統(tǒng)都不差。所以可以得出結(jié)論，兩人做事方式不同，但都是好總統(tǒng)。

51、Thestatement"...betheonlygame..."（line7,Para.1）impliesthat.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：原文中是形容nanotechnology（納米技術(shù)）最終將成為舞臺(tái)的主角。這

可以從以下幾句話看出來:Todateonly...butsomescientistspredict（雖然現(xiàn)在只有

一些產(chǎn)品，但是可以預(yù)測(cè)……）其深層含義是將來會(huì)有很多產(chǎn)品。而且科學(xué)家

（GeorgeStephanopoulos也說：Itwillbeaubiquitoustechnology.（它將變成一門無處

不在的技術(shù).）

52^WhichofthefollowingisNOTthedifficultywefaceaboutnanotechresearch?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：原文第2段提到：需要跨過一些困難的局面。文中列舉了第一個(gè)：無

法在經(jīng)濟(jì)上大規(guī)模的進(jìn)行生產(chǎn)；第2個(gè)：如何跨接納米領(lǐng)域和肉眼可見領(lǐng)域；第3

個(gè)：由科學(xué)幻想小說引起的恐懼很可能會(huì)威脅到納米技術(shù)。選項(xiàng)A”怎樣將納入技

術(shù)的壽命延長10到20年''是對(duì)原文中thenanotcchfuturemaybe10to20yearsoff的

誤解。

53、Bymentioning"superweeds,frankenfoodsanddesignerbabies"theauthormeans

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：在文章第2段作者講到納米技術(shù)面對(duì)的困難時(shí)，作者舉了這三個(gè)例子

來說明以往的某些新興技術(shù)因?yàn)楣姷钠姸l(fā)展受阻，意在指出納米技術(shù)有可能

面臨同樣的問題。D是正確的答案。

54>Whatcanwelearnfromthelastparagraph?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：文章最后一段的主要含義是納米技術(shù)會(huì)帶來巨大的財(cái)富，但是對(duì)于如

何利用納米技術(shù)獲得財(cái)富大家還在探索階段。B選項(xiàng)描述，隨著納米技術(shù)在醫(yī)療領(lǐng)

域的應(yīng)用，癌癥會(huì)被消滅。文中說，生物工藝學(xué)領(lǐng)域正在設(shè)想利用納米技術(shù)制造某

種裝置來殺死癌細(xì)胞，因此我們可以推論在將來癌癥有可能被消滅。故選B。

55、Thewholepassageisintendedto.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：文章第2段和最后一段都說我們?cè)诩{米技術(shù)的研究上還要努力克服一

些障礙，還有方向性的問題沒有解決。因此排除B,C告訴讀者擺在納米技術(shù)研究

面前的障礙。這個(gè)表述過于片而，不完整。D揭示了納米技術(shù)領(lǐng)域巨大的商業(yè)潛

力。和C的缺點(diǎn)一樣是不夠概括，信息不完整。因此正確的答案是A。
