【答案】第1题:B

第2题:C

第3题:D

第4题:C

第5题:A

【解析】1.推理判断题。由文章第一段中的Laudenslagerfoundthattheimmuneresponsewasdepressedbelownormalinthehelplessratsbutnotinthosethatcouldturnofftheelectricity.（Laudenslager发现，无助的老鼠的免疫反应低于正常水平，而那些能关掉电源的老鼠去没有受到影响）可知选B。

2.细节事实题。由文章第二段中的Butiftheanimalsareconfrontedwithsituationstheyhavenocontrolover,theylaterbehavepassivelywhenfacedwithexperiencestheycancontrol.（但是，如果这些动物遇到了它们无法控制的情况，那么当它们面对他们能够控制的经验时，它们会表现出被动的行为）可知选C。

3.细节事实题。由文章第三段中的Associatingthesaccharinwiththestomachpains,themicequicklylearnedtoavoidthesweetener.（把糖精和胃痛联系起来，老鼠很快就学会了避免吃甜味剂）可知选D。

4.推理判断题。由文章最后一段中的第一句Oneofthemoststartingexamplesofhowthemindcanaltertheimmuneresponsewasdiscoveredbychance.（人们偶然发现了大脑如何改变免疫反应的最开始的例子之一）和最后一句Hecouldonlyspeculatethathehadsosuccessfullyconditionedtheratsthatsaccharinalonenowservedtoweakentheirimmunesystemsenoughtokillthem.（他只能推测，他已经成功地对老鼠进行了调节，现在单用糖精就足以削弱它们的免疫系统，足以杀死它们）可推测Ader’s的实验中老鼠死亡的最可能原因是大脑改变了它们的免疫系统，因此选C

5.主旨大意题。文章第一段中提出了本文的主题stressseemstoaffecttheimmunedefensesofloweranimals（压力似乎会影响低等动物的免疫防御能力），然后举例证明其观点。第一段中Laudenslager的实验证明：对事物缺乏控制力造成了免疫系统的弱化，而不是由实验本身造成的；第二段中JayWeiss认为：被允许控制不愉快刺激的动物不会产生睡眠障碍或典型的应激大鼠的大脑化学变化；最后一段中Ader’s的实验表明：他已经成功地对老鼠进行了调节，现在单用糖精就足以削弱它们的免疫系统。这些实验是在一些特定条件下进行的，因此可推断动物的免疫系统能被条件反射所削弱，因此选A。

3.单选题

Asmyexamsarecomingnextweek,I’lltakeadvantageoftheweekendto（

）onsomereading.

问题1选项

A.catchup

B.clearup

【解析】短语辨析。句意:下周就要考试了，我要利用周末时间好好看看书。

catchupon弥补不足、吸收，精通;clearup收拾，整理;makeup伪造，化妆;pickup提高（速度），加快（节奏）。因此D项符合句意。

4.单选题

TheBritishpoliticalsystemhasevolvedoverseveralcenturies.

问题1选项

D.survived

【答案】B

【解析】考查动词辨析。A选项improved“改进，增加”；B选项developed“发展，发达”；C选项involved“涉及，使参与”；D选项survived“幸存，存活”。句意：英国的政治制度是经过几个世纪的演变而成的。此处只有B选项可以最佳贴近“演变”这个含义，因此B选项符合题意。

5.单选题

问题1选项

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:B

第3题:A

第4题:C

第5题:C

第6题:D

第7题:B

【解析】第1题:细节事实题。根据第一段的第二句“PaulReverewasasilversmithinBoston.”可知选项A正确。

第2题:细节事实题。根据第一段第三句“helearnedthattheBritisharmyplannedtoattackthetownsandvillagesofMiddlesexCounty,farmhouseandvillagehall.”他（PaulRevere）得知英军计划进攻米德尔塞克斯郡的城镇和村庄、农舍和村堂。选项B符合原文。

第3题:细节事实题。根据第二段第一句“OnereasonforthepopularityofthelegendmaybethepublicityithasreceivedthroughHenryWadsworthLongfellow'scommemorativepoem,PaulRevere,sRide.”传说如此流行的一个原因可能是它通过亨利•沃兹沃斯•朗费罗的纪念诗《骑马飞奔的保罗里维尔》得到了公众的关注。选项A正确。

第4题:细节推断题。根据最后一段的内容，有人认为，这首诗对孤独英雄的强调与诗中最有价值的理念背道而驰：面对危险时团结合作的理念。这首诗的评论家提出了一个重要的问题：朗费罗的诗讲述了一个著名的故事，而且讲述得很有力——但这是正确的故事吗？也就是说这首诗所依据的历史事件背后的重要思想可能会让人们感到困惑。选项C符合原文。

第5题:细节推断题。根据题干关键词“OldNorthChurch”定位到第三段倒数第二句“thelanternswerehunginthetoweroftheOldChristChurch,nottheOldNorthChurch,...”这是对上句“Butthisideacontainstwoinaccuracies.”的举例。所以选项C正确。

第6题:细节推断题。根据第二段的第一句“Onereasonforthepopularity...,PaulRevere’sRide.”可知选项A正确；根据第四段的第一句“NotallofLongfellow'shistoricalmistakesaresominor.”可知选项B正确；根据第五段的第一句“Somepeople...whichinspiredit.”有些人认为朗费罗的错误不重要，勇敢和狡猾的理想是这首诗的重要特征，也是激发它的历史事件的重要特征。选项C正确。所以本题选D。

第7题:作者态度题。本文前半部分讲述了朗费罗的诗的积极的一面，接下来花了大量的篇幅讲述了诗里的错误，最后一段更是提到怀疑这首诗所依据的历史事件的真实性。文中没有讽刺的意味，而是部分批判，所以选项B正确。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:C

第3题:A

第4题:D

第5题:C

【解析】1.词义题。根据第一段的内容可知，“observation”指的是上文所提及的认为大多数美国人和加拿大人友好，礼貌和乐于助人的观点。所以选项D正确。

2.推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，边境地区人们的生活通常是单调乏味的，所以他们喜欢招待旅行者或陌生人，因为这些陌生人和旅行者不仅带来了消遣，还带来了外部世界的消息。也就是说，给他们的生活带来了些许改变，所以选项C正确。选项A表述太片面；选项B和D在文中没有提及。

3.事实细节题。根据第四段第二句“Yet,theoldtraditionofhospitalitytostrangersisstillverystrongintheUS...”招待陌生人的古老传统在美国仍然非常盛行。选项A符合原文。

4.事实细节题。根据第四段倒数第二句“SuchobservationsreportedbyvisitorstotheUSarenotuncommon,butarenotalwaysunderstoodproperly.”到美国旅游的人持有这样的观点并不罕见，但并不总是能够正确的理解。也就是说，到美国来旅游的游客很难理解美国人的友好。选项D与原文表述一致，所以正确。

5.推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，第一句为本段的主旨句“Asistrueofanydevelopedsociety,inAmericaacomplexsetofculturalsignalsassumptions,andconventionsunderliesallsocialinterrelationships.”正如任何发达社会一样，在美国，一系列复杂的文化特征，信念和习俗构成了所有社会关系的基础。也就是说，文化对社会关系有很大的影响。选项C符合原文。

D.Thegovernmentshouldpayforlarge-scalecarbonemissions.

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:C

第3题:B

【解析】1.细节推理题。题干：作者认为，是什么加剧了全球变暖的严重性？文章手段提到了关键词“全球变暖”，并指向美国政府的不作为会导致情况迅速恶化。因此答案出现在第二段“ForreasonsbotheconomicandpoliticalcoalispoisedtobethefuelofchoiceinthecomingdecadesastheUSweansitselfoffforeignoil”，出于经济和政治原因，美国政府选择煤炭作为燃料。因此C选项符合题意。

2.判断推理题。题干：关于有效控制碳排放的障碍，下列哪一项是正确的？由关键词定位到文章第三段“theambiguityintheadministration'spolicyiscounterproductive”，说明是政府政策上的模糊性使控制达不到预期效果。因此C选项符合题意。

3.细节推理题。题干：作者建议如何解决这个问题？最后一段中，作者提到“ItistimefortheUSgovernmenttoputapriceoncarbonemissionssoutilitiesthatinvestintechnologiestoreducecarbonemissionswillseetheireffortsrewarded”，说明作者建议美国政府为碳排放进行定价，投资开发减少二氧化碳排放的科技。因此B选项符合题意。
