【答案】第1题:B

第2题:C

第3题:A

第4题:D

第5题:D

【解析】1.文章第一段第二句Nearlyeightmillionnewcarsaremadeeachyear,fourhouseholdsoutoffiveownatleastonecar,andmorethanaquarterhavetwoeach解释了为什么美国被称为“车轮上的国家”，80%的家庭拥有至少一辆车，超过25%的家庭拥有两辆车。选项B符合题意。

2.文章第二段第三句Unemploymentoveralongperiodshouldbeconsideredasthemainfactor提到造成营养不调的主要原因是失业。选项C符合题意。

3.文章第二段提出长期失业是造成一些人营养不良的原因，比如在南方农村当一个棉花种植园突然将自己的雇佣工人从100人降到3人，那么就意味着有97人失业（“Forexample,intheruralSouthwhenacottonplantationsuddenlycutsitsforcefrom100peopletothree,theproblemtohelpthedisplacedarises”）由此可以推断thedisplaced在这里有“失业人员”的意思。选项A符合题意。

4.文章第三段提及了美国的平均贫困线，然后提到只有年收入在贫困线以下才有资格领取政府的福利补助：accordingtotheSocialSecurityAct,familiesofthatsizebelowpovertylineareeligibletoreceivebenefitsfromthespecialwelfareprogram,由此推测eligible的意思是“有资格的”。选项D符合题意。

5.文章最后一段提到美国的福利政策在一定程度上解决了贫困线以下那些人的衣食住的问题，这相比多数其他国家的人要过得好。选项D符合题意。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:B

第3题:A

第4题:D

【解析】第1题:1.【选项释义】

1.Whattitlewouldbestfitthispassage?1.什么标题最适合这篇文章？

A.“HouseRules”A.“家规”

B.“VisitingPop-Pop”B.“拜访爷爷”

C.“StraightA’s”C.“优等生”

D.“BodyPiercings”D.“身体穿刺”

【考查点】主旨大意题。

【解题思路】根据文章首尾两句“贾斯汀的妈妈伊莱恩自信满满地定下了家里的规矩”，以及“从现在开始，我会尽量遵守家里的规矩”，可以知道，首尾两句都提到了houserules（家规）这个词语，可见本文主要是围绕家规展开的。故该题选择A项正确。

【干扰项排除】B项“‘拜访爷爷’”、C项“‘优等生’”和D项“‘身体穿刺’”都是文中的细节，不是主旨，属于以偏概全。

第2题:2.【选项释义】

2.WhatwasJustin’sattitudewhenheshowedhismotherthetattoo?2.当贾斯汀给他妈妈看纹身时，他是什么态度？

A.cautiouslyjubilantA.谨慎地高兴

B.willfullydefiantB.故意挑衅

C.convincinglycontriteC.令人信服地忏悔

D.noticeablymelodramaticD.引人注目地夸张

【考查点】观点态度题。

【解题思路】根据题干定位至文章第六、七、八句“不，贾斯汀不笨，但他很固执（obstinate）。伊莱恩认为这是公然的挑衅（anactofsheerdefiance）。她被激怒了，贾斯汀轻快地走进房子（Justinhadbreezedintothehouse），发现她在厨房里，他脱下了衬衫，微笑着（withasmile）说，‘知道了！’”，由Justinhadbreezedintothehouse（贾斯汀轻快地走进房子）和withasmile（带着微笑）可以看出，贾斯汀的态度是任性固执又带有挑衅的，B项正确。

【干扰项排除】

A项“谨慎地高兴”和D项“引人注目地夸张”根据解题思路可知，该两项不符合原文，属于曲解原文；

C项“令人信服地忏悔”，是贾斯汀去了爷爷家之后的态度，不复合题干，属于张冠李戴。

第3题:3.【选项释义】

3.WhichofthefollowingdetailsdoesnotmakethereadersympathetictoJustin?3.以下哪一个细节不能让读者同情贾斯汀？

A.Heisdescribedasobstinate.A.他被描述为固执。

B.Heisportrayedaskind-hearted.B.他被描绘成一个善良的人。

C.HeisdescribedasastraightAstudent.C.他被描述成一个优等生。

D.Heisdescribedasreceivingafullscholarshiptocollege.D.他获得了大学全额奖学金。

【考查点】推理判断题。

【解题思路】根据原文可知，贾斯汀是一个心地善良的人，每门学科都拿A，获得了全额奖学金，这些都是他的优点，能够引起读者的同情，但他固执这一点，无法引起读者的同情，所以本题选A项“他被描述为固执”符合题意。

【干扰项排除】B项“他被描绘成一个善良的人”、C项“他被描述成一个优等生”和D项“他获得了大学全额奖学金”，根据解题思路可知，这三项都是让读者同情的地方，属于反向干扰。

第4题:4.【选项释义】

4.Whichofthefollowingisthebestinterpretationoftheunderlinedidiomintheparagraph?4.下面哪一项是对段落中划线习语的最佳诠释？

A.Callingsomethingbadthatisnot.A.说一些并不坏的事情。

B.Tryingtoteachsomethingtoodifficult.B.试图教一些太难的东西。

C.Lovingapersonlessforwhathehasdone.C.爱一个人不是因为他所做的事。

D.Pursuingrevengeandhurtingyourselfintheprocess.D.在报复的过程中伤害了自己。

【考查点】推理判断题。

【解题思路】根据题干定位到划线句子所在处，即文章倒数第五句“不要割下自己的鼻子来和脸过不去（Don’tcutoffyournosetospiteface）”，结合上下文语境：贾斯汀因为纹身惹恼了妈妈，妈妈生气地把车开到爷爷家，将贾斯汀赶下车自己走了。爷爷打来电话告诉贾斯汀的妈妈：这么优秀的孩子，你会十分想念他的。由此可以推断，划线句意为不要为了报复反而伤害了自己。选项D符合原文。

【干扰项排除】A项“说一些并不坏的事情”、B项“试图教一些太难的东西”和C项“爱一个人不是因为他所做的事”根据解题思路可知，属于曲解原文。

4.单选题

AfterscrutinizingtheSternHitlerDiaries,handwritingexpertsproclaimedthemtobeforgeries.

问题1选项

A.examining

B.judging

C.protracting

D.detecting

【答案】A

【解析】考查动词词义辨析。句意：通过……《希特勒日记》，字迹专家宣布这些日记是伪造的。examine“（仔细地）检查”；judge“判断”；protract“延长；绘制”；detect“发现，察觉”。字迹专家只有通过认真检查才能知晓这个日记是伪造的，因此可知划线单词scrutinize的意思是“详细检查”，选项A符合题意。

5.单选题

问题1选项

A.evaporated

B.escalated

C.evacuated

D.exaggerated

【答案】B

【解析】考查动词辨析。evaporate“蒸发，使脱水”；escalate“升级”；evacuate”疏散，撤出”；exaggerate“夸张，夸大”。句意：突然，平时的恐惧和不确定性升级为彻底的恐惧，船上回响着尖叫声。选项B符合题意。

6.单选题

）ofmilk.

问题1选项

A.storage

【解析】句意:据说，在世界上某些地方，牛奶的重要来源是山羊，而不是奶牛。

名词辨析。Storage存储，仓库;source来源;reserve储备，储存;resource资源，财力。因此B符合句意。

7.单选题

问题1选项

A.exquisite

B.extravagant

C.exotic

D.eccentric

【答案】B

【解析】考查形容词词义辨析。A选项exquisite“精致的”；B选项extravagant“浪费的”；C选项exotic“异国的”；D选项eccentric“古怪的”。句意：我几乎一整天都开着电炉，希望你不会觉得我浪费。本句表示开一天电炉很浪费，因此B选项正确。

8.单选题

Hisshirtfactoryisgrowingsofastthathemust（

）moreworkers.

问题1选项

A.takeon

B.takeup

C.takeout

D.takeover

【答案】A

【解析】考查动词辨析。takeon意为“承担，接受，雇用”；takeup意为“开始从事”；takeout意为“取出，除去”；takeover意为“接收，接管”。

句意：他的衬衫工厂发展很快，以至于他必须雇佣更多的工人。

9.WhathaveCanadianscientistsfoundaboutsomeseabirds?

【试题答案】C

【试题解析】题目问关于海鸟，加拿大科学家们有什么发现？录音开头提到，加拿大的科学家发现海鸟能传播污染物：在加拿大北部的北极地区，海鸟从海洋中叼走危险的化学品，并运送到其栖息地附近的池塘里。C选项“它们把海洋里污染物运送到它们筑巢的地方”是对录音原文的同义转述，因此正确。A选项“污染导致它们濒临灭绝”录音中并没有提及；B选项“它们携带植物种子，并把种子传播到遥远的地方”这一信息虽然在录音中有所提及，但并不是加拿大科学家们的发现，因此排除；D选项“在紧急情况下，它们会传递信息”，录音中说的这种鸟类是信鸽，而不是海鸟，因此不正确。

10.Whatdoesthespeakersayabouttheseabirdscalledfulmars?

【试题答案】D

【试题解析】题目问关于管鼻藿这种海鸟，说话人说了什么？录音提到，有一种生活在北极的海鸟，名叫管鼻藿（fulmar）。大约有一万多对管鼻藿在北极圈以北的德文岛筑巢。它们会飞行约400公里，穿越海洋寻找食物。D选项“它们飞行400公里寻找食物”与录音原文表述相符，因此正确。A选项“它们起源于北极地区的德文岛”，录音只是提及管鼻藿在北极圈以北的德文岛筑巢，并没有表明它们是起源于德文岛，因此不正确；B选项“它们在夏季迁徙到北极圈”和C选项“它们能在极端天气条件下生存”在录音中均没有信息提及，因此排除。

11.WhatdidscientistspreviouslynoticeaboutpollutantsintheArctic?

【试题答案】B

【试题解析】题目问科学家以前在北极发现的污染物是什么？录音提到，早前，科学家发现这些污染物是被风吹到北极地区的。B选项中的werecarriedbythewind是录音中arriving…withthewind的同义转述。因此B选项“它们是被风吹来的”正确。A选项“它们毒性越来越大”；C选项“它们毒害了一些管鼻藿”和D选项“它们没有像大陆上残留的那么多”在录音中均没有相关信息提及，因此排除。

12.Whatdoesthespeakerwarnaboutattheendofthetalk?

【试题答案】B

【试题解析】题目问说话者在演讲结束时警告了什么？录音最后提到，研究人员认为，在鸟类栖息地附近生活、狩猎或捕鱼的人们需要提高警惕。这些鸟类本身不会造成危害，但它们携带的化学物质则会引起重大问题。由此可知，此处的“重大问题”应是指会对人类造成危害的问题，因此B选项“北极海鸟可能对人类造成危害”正确。A选项“气候变化对北极海鸟的影响”；C选项“北极海鸟栖息地的减少”和D选项“人类对北极海鸟构成的威胁”在录音中均没有信息提及，因此排除。

12.单选题

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:A

第3题:A

第4题:C

第5题:D

【解析】6.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】细节事实题。文中第一段Butsuchbehavioralstudiescannotdistinguishbetweentwocompetingtheoriesofwhysleepisgoodforthememory.（但是这样的行为研究并不能区分为什么睡眠对记忆力有好处的两种相互矛盾的理论），所以他们对为什么睡眠对记忆力有好处持有不同的观点，故应选C选项“为什么睡眠对记忆力很有好处”。A选项“梦是如何在课程中被修改的”，不符合题意，可排除。B选项“睡眠和清醒的区别”，不符合题意，可排除。D选项“一个好觉的作用”，过于片面，可排除。因此C选项正确。

7.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】细节事实题。第二段中指出“…whenbrainandbodyareactive”，大脑积极运转是眼珠快速转动的主要特征，且在第三、四段又再次说明。选项B“被研究者更快的反应速度”，选项C“复杂的记忆模式”和选项D“前一天事件的重现”都不是眼球快速运动的主要特征。故应选A“强烈活跃的脑电波痕迹”。因此A选项正确。

8.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】细节事实题。原文的第三段最后Whattheydidnotknow…followedapattern-whatisreferredtoas“artificialgrammar”.Yetthereductionsinresponsetimeshowedthat…说明了这种内在模式，也就是“artificialgrantor”对于记忆的重要性。因此A选项正确。

9.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】推理判断题。这个题考查的是对后面几段的归纳。首先在第三段开始Dr.MaquetusedanelectronicdevicecalledPET…theypracticedataskduringtheday,andastheysleptduringthefollowingnight.这是一种对比性的研究方法。后来的第四段最后…theirresponsetimeswhentheywokeupwereevenquickerthanwhentheywenttosleep也采用了对比的分析研究，故应选C“对比与比较”。因此C选项正确。

10.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】推理判断题。这是一个通篇的中心归纳的考查题。文章一开始就指出Beforeabigexam,asoundnight’ssleepwilldoyoubetterthanporingovertextbooks.意思是在晚上好好的睡觉对记忆是有好处的。最后作者又归纳了研究的结果，“…concludedthatthenerveconnectionsinvolvedinmemoryarereinforcedthroughreactivationduringREMsleep…”也说明结构性知识在REM睡眠中是可以巩固的。故应选D。

14.单选题

Whennomadicpeoplescouldnotfindenoughfoodtoeatintheirruggedhomelands,theyraidedthevillagepeoplesfortheircrops.

问题1选项

A.attacked

B.compelled

C.deprived

D.pleaded

【答案】A

【解析】【选项释义】

A.attacked袭击，攻击B.compelled强迫，迫使，使必须

C.deprived剥夺，使丧失，使不能享有D.pleaded乞求，恳求

【答案】A

【考查点】动词辨析。

【解题思路】raided的意思为“突然袭击；劫掠，打劫”，和thevillagepeoples构成动宾搭配关系，指的是游牧民族没有东西吃的时候就会袭击村民，抢夺食物，attacked与之词义相近，因此A选项正确。

【干扰项排除】B、C、D选项词义与之不符。

【句意】当游牧民族在他们崎岖的家园里找不到足够的食物吃的时候，他们就会袭击村民，抢夺农作物。
