C.wildimagination

D.agitatedconfusion

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:C

第3题:C

第4题:D

第5题:D

【解析】1.细节理解题。根据文章第四段，“Thedebatehassplittheastronomicalcommunityfordecades.”，对冥王星的定位问题，几十年来争论一直存在于天文界。所以天文学家对冥王星的地位意见不一。选项C符合题意。

2.细节理解题。根据文章第二段，“however,scientistsreleasedperhapsthemostconvincingevidenceyetthatPluto,infact,isnotaplanetatall.Forthefirsttime,astronomershavepeeredintoabeltofrocksbeyondPlutounknownuntil10yearsago—andfoundaworldthatrivalsPlutoinsize.”，可知，科学家发现了能够证明冥王星不是行星的证据，天文学家直到十年前观察了冥王星以外的岩石带，发现了一个大小和冥王星差不多的世界。根据文章第四段，“EvenbeforethedistantbandofrocksknownastheKuiperBeltwasfound”，可知这些岩石带是被叫做凯伯带。所以在凯伯岩石带被发现的时候，就产生了怀疑。选项C符合题意。

3.推断题。根据文章第七段一二句，“Tosome,theproblemisnotwithPluto,butthedefinitionof“planet.”Inshort，thereisnone.”，可知问题不在于冥王星，而是对于行星的定义，反正没人能说得清楚，可推测对“行星”这一词汇还没有科学的定义。选项C符合题意。

4.推断题。根据文章第一段，“Plutohasneverreallyfittedin…itislittlemorethanacosmicdustmite,sweptthroughthefarthestreachesofthesolarsystemonaplanetwildlytiltedrelativetotherestoftheplanets.ItissmallerthanNeptune’slargestmoon,andthearcofitsorbitissooval...”，可知人们把冥王星看作一个奇怪的行星的原因有：横扫太阳系最远的地方、比海王星最大的卫星要小、轨道是椭圆形的。所以并没有提到它是由冰和尘埃组成，选项D符合题意。

5.词义题。根据文章第八段，“demotingPluto,lumpingitwiththeKuiperBeltobjectsinitshugemobileofthesolarsystem.”，海顿天文馆是把冥王星降级，把它归类为太阳系中库伯带小星体。根据文章最后一段，“TheynotethatPluto,infact,isdistinctfrommanyKuiperBeltobjects.”，可知他们发现冥王星与库伯带小行星中的很多星体又有明显的不同。所以海顿天文馆的这一举动引来了更多的困惑和混乱。选项D符合题意。

6.单选题

Itisaruleinhisfamilythat（）comeshomeearliershouldcookthedinnerforthefamily.

问题1选项

A.anybody

B.who

C.whothat

D.whoever

【答案】D

【解析】句意:无论是谁回家得早，都应该给家人做晚饭，这是他家的规定。

语法题。考查名词性从句引导词。空格所在句为主语从句而且从句中缺主语。A不能引导从句,故排除。B项表示“谁”，具有特指的情况，不符合语境。C项的“who和that”不能搭配引导主语从句。whoever有两个词义：（l）nomatterwho,在这种用法时引导一个让步状语从句；（2）anybodythat（who），在这种用法时，它连接一个名词性从句，因此，在本题中它连接的是主语从句。

7.单选题

Thechairmanwasaskedtoresign,（

）totallyunfitforhispost.

问题1选项

A.havingconsidered

B.considering

C.tobeconsidered

D.beingconsidered

【答案】D

【解析】分析句子可知，逗号前后没有连接词，所以逗号后面不能是完整的句子，这里是分词短语做状语，前后为因果关系，所以选项C目的状语可首先排除；再根据句意可知，这里表被动，所以选项D正确。句意：主席被要求辞职，因为他被认为完全不适合这个职位。

8.单选题

Inspiteofthe（

）economicforecast,manufacturingoutputhasrisenslightly.

问题1选项

A.faint

B.dizzy

C.gloomy

D.opaque

【答案】C

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A选项faint“模糊的；头晕的；虚弱的”；B选项dizzy“眩晕的；昏乱的；心不在焉的”；C选项gloomy“黑暗的；沮丧的”；D选项opaque“不透明的；不传热的；迟钝的”。句意：尽管有……经济预测，但制造业产出略有上升。既然句中有转折关系，说明前半部分的经济预测是负面的，四个选项中只有C选项符合语境，表示“令人沮丧的经济预测”。

9.问答题

Manypeopleare(A)naturallydistrustfulofambition,feelingthatitrepresents(B)somethingintractableinhumannature.ThusJohnDeanentitledhisbookabouthisinvolvementintheWatergateaffairduringtheNixonadministrationBlindAmbition,asifambition(C)weretobeblamedforhisignobleactions,andnottheconstellationofqualitiesthat(D)makeuphisrathershabbycharacter.

【答案】C；改成weretoblameforhisignobleactions.toblame用主动形式表被动意义。

10.翻译题

ReadthefollowingParagraphcarefullyandthentranslateitintoEnglish.

尽管我们对“学习”的理解不尽完善，然而我们对此已有不少了解。“学习”可以呈现不同的形式，也可以在许多情况下进行。一般来说，“学习”必然会引起行为的变化。“学习”导致人们行为发生变化吋，这种变化常能持久。“学习”也许意味着对一系列细小而不相关的行为按新的顺序重新排列。就好比你在钢琴上学习一首新的曲子。

【答案】

11.单选题

InsteadofthesomewhatobnoxiousnationalisticchestbeatingthatwentwithagreatdealtheSingaporeandMalaysiaversionofthe“debate”overAsianvalues,whatisnowcalledforisanexplanationofhowthesamesetofculturalvaluescouldhaveproducedboththedynamosandthedominoes.

问题1选项

A.sober

B.rhetoric

C.banal

D.veryunpleasant

【答案】D

【解析】考查形容词词义辨析。A选项sober“冷静的”；B选项rhetoric“花言巧语的”；C选项banal“陈腐的”；D选项veryunpleasant“极不愉快的”；veryunpleasant正是表达了题目中“不愉快的”的意思。句意：与新加坡和马来西亚版本的亚洲价值观之“论战”所带来的令人不快的民族主义者的痛打相比，现在需要的是解释同一套文化价值观如何既产生了发电机又产生了多米诺骨牌。因此D选项正确。

12.单选题

Theteacherwasinaragewithhim,forhishandwritinginthecompositionwas（）.

问题1选项

A.illegible

B.incomprehensible

C.inaudible

D.decipherable

【答案】A

【解析】illegible难以辨认的,字迹潦草的；incomprehensible费解的,不可思议的；inaudible听不见的；decipherable可辨认的,可解密的。句意：老师对他很生气,因为他的作文字迹潦草。选项A符合句意。

13.单选题

Thefarmersweremoreanxiousforrainthanthepeopleinthecitybecausetheyhadmoreat______.

问题1选项

A.loss

B.stake

C.danger

D.threat

【答案】B

【解析】【试题解析】考查名词辨析。A选项loss“损失”；B选项stake“（在公司、计划等中的）重大利害关系”，atstake“得失都可能；有风险”；C选项danger“危险”；D选项threat“威胁，恐吓；凶兆”。句意：农民比城市里的人更渴望雨水，因为他们面临着更多______。根据语境，这里指的是没有下雨的话，农民比城市里的人面临更多不确定因素，结合短语atstake“得失都可能；有风险”，B选项stake“（在公司、计划等中的）重大利害关系”符合题意。因此B选项正确。

D.encouraging.

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:A

第3题:B

第4题:B

第5题:D

【解析】1.细节事实题。A:忙碌的,B:好交际的,由第一段中“Inthemorningheseemedmuchoccupiedwithbusiness,andintheafternoongentlemenfromtheneighborhoodcalledandsometimesstayedtodinewithhim(早上，他忙于生意，在下午有附近的绅士会拜访他，并且有时会留下来与他用餐)”可知A和B属埃雷女士对罗彻斯特的印象。C:友好的,D:易变的,由第二段“...hewouldsometimespassmecoldly,andsometimesbowandsmile(他有时会冷淡地从我身边走过，而有吋会鞠躬且微笑)”可知C不属于埃雷女士对罗彻斯特的印象,D属于。因此答案选C。

2.词义题。在句子“...andallmyknowledgeofhimwaslimitedtooccasionalmeetingsabouttheHouse”中,allmyknowledgeofhim是主语,waslimitedto是谓语,句子结构已经完整。因此abouttheHouse是介词短语。about有“在…周围”的意思,因此选A。

3.判断推理题。由题干定位至句子:"No,youshouldn’t!Isee,youcriticizemyappearance,andthenyoustabmeintheback!(不，你不应该这样（说），你批评我的外貌,你在背后捅我一刀)”,由此可知B项“因为埃雷女士本打算变得更多批评”正确。

4.判断推理题。倒数第三段说到:WhydoItellyouallthis?Becauseyou'rethesortofpersonpeopletelltheirproblemsandsecretsto,becauseyou'resympatheticandgivethemhope(为何我要告诉你所有这些？因为你是人们问题和秘密的倾诉对象，因为你富有同情心且让人充满希望),由此可知B项“告诉她他的生活经历”正确。

5.判断推理题。最后一段指出:Butintimeyouwillbemorenaturalwithme,andlaugh,andspeakfreely.You'relikeabirdinacage.Whenyougetoutofthecage,you'llflyveryhigh.Goodnight(但是经过一段吋间后，你将会和我更自然地相处的，自由地说笑。就如在笼子里的鸟。当你走出笼子后，你将飞得很高。晚安),由此看出D项“鼓励的”正确。

【答案】参考译文：

不论男女，青少年们都喜欢不顾家长的指导，自己对一切作决定，特别是当他们面对如性、心理压力等等一些使他们觉得羞愧和尴尬的问题时更是如此。因此，由于他们理解力和判断力的不足，他们常常会无意识地陷入困境中。有的对香烟上瘾，只要几包就会对他们的肺造成损害，使他们很容易就气喘吁吁；有的没法戒酒，喝酒带来的不良后果包括造成年轻的怀孕女性流产或生下不正常的婴儿；最糟糕的是滥用毒品，因为一旦他们的身体对毒品习惯了，要想戒毒就相当困难了。同时，那些共用从非法药剂师处购买的注射器的青少年还承担着感染令人绝望的艾滋病的极大风险。一旦感染上，不管是打针还是吃药都没法保证他们的生存了。

然而，请不要轻易就对我们的孩子失望或抱有偏见，毕竟，不成熟是年轻的必然附属品。只要我们加强和他们的沟通，而不是仅仅禁止这样，不准那样，我们一定能帮助他们避开不健康的东西。

16.单选题

Thenewspaperdidnotmentionthe（）ofthedamagecausedbythefire.

问题1选项

A.range

B.level

C.extent

D.quantity

【答案】C

【解析】考查名词辨析。range“范围”；level“水平，标准，常强调变化的差异性和职权等的范围”；extent“程度，范围，长度”；quantity“数量”。句意：这家报纸没有提到由于火灾所造成的损害程度。C项符合题意。

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:A

第3题:D

第4题:A

【解析】17.推理判断题。根据第一段第三句MywifeandIlecturedaboutthisloomingdangertwentyyearsago.（20年前，我和妻子曾就这个逼近的危险发表过演讲。），可知数字鸿沟带来消极影响，应该受到重视，所以C选项“全世界必须防备的”正确，D选项“被视作积极”错误。A选项“因为互联网而变得更糟”：根据第二段第二句和第五句Astheinternetbecomesmoreandmorecommercialized…Inowbelievethedigitaldividewillnarrowratherthanwidenintheyearsahead.（随着国际互联网越来越商业化……现在我认为，在未来几年，数字鸿沟将会缩小而不是扩大），可知数字鸿沟因为互联网而缩小，故错误。B选项“由发达国家造成的”：文中没有提到。因此C选项正确。

18.事实细节题。根据第二段第三句Moreandmoregovernments,afraidtheircountrieswillbeleftbehind,wanttospreadinternetaccess.（越来越多的政府担心自己的国家会落后，想要普及互联网接入。），可知互联网可以帮助发展国家经济，所以A选项“带来经济发展潜力”正确。B选项“可以将资金从国外流入”和D选项“连接世界各地的人”：不是互联网能为国家带来的重要作用，故错误。C选项“能快速消除世界贫困”：根据第二段最后一句becausetheinternetmaywellbethemostpowerfultoolforcombatingworldpovertythatwehaveeverhad.（因为互联网很可能是对抗我们曾经拥有的世界贫困的最强大的工具。），可知互联网不能快速消除贫困，故错误。因此A选项正确。

19.事实细节题。根据第三段第四句Countriesthatstillthinkforeigninvestmentisaninvasionoftheirsovereigntymightwellstudythehistoryofinfrastructure(thebasicstructurefoundationsofasociety)intheUnitedStates.（那些仍然认为外国投资是对其主权的侵犯的国家，最好研究一下美国基础设施（一个社会的基本结构基础）的历史。），可知作者就外国投资的话题以美国为例，所以D选项“接受国外投资”正确。A选项“提供海外经济支持”，B选项“防止外国资本控制”和C选项“建设工业基础设施”：文章没有提到，故错误。因此D选项正确。

20.推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三句ThemoreforeigncapitalyouhavehelpingyoubuildyourThirdWaveinfrastructure,whichtodayisanelectronicinfrastructure,thebetteroffyouaregoingtobe.（你拥有越多的外国资本来帮助建设第三次浪潮的基础设施，也就是现在的电子基础设施，你就会发展得越好。），可知电子基础设施在如今很大程度地影响发展，所以A选项“电子技术发展得多好”正确。B选项“是否对移民有偏见”，C选项“是否采用美国的工业模式”和D选项“它对外国公司有多少控制”：不是文章表达的重点，故错误。因此A选项正确。

18.单选题

Nuclearscienceshouldbedevelopedtobenefitthepeople______harmthem.

问题1选项

A.morethan

B.otherthan

C.ratherthan

D.muchthan

【答案】C

【解析】考查词组辨析。A项morethan“多于”，B项otherthan“除了，不同于”，C项ratherthan“而不是”，D项muchthan“比……多”。根据空格前后的benefitthepeople（造福于人）和harmthem（伤害他们）可知，前后是对比关系，填入ratherthan符合。句意：发展核科学应该造福人民，而不是危害人民。因此，该题选择C项。
