题目分析1.答案为D，属猜词题。从句子"itappearsthatincreasedairpollutionduringthose30years-overAsia,inparticular-withthehelp,perhaps,ofsomeincreasedcloudiness,mayhaveexertedacoolinginfluenceonthesurfaceoftheplanetevenascarbondioxideandothergreenhousegaseswereencouragingtheatmospheretowarm."我们可看出一方面空气污染物及其形成的云星对地球表面有一种冷却作用，另一方面二氧化碳和其它温室气体却促使大气变暖。这是一种相互作用，一方强，另一方就弱，就像是"拔河赛".文章最后一段的一句话"Theyarejustbeginningtograpplewiththeproblemofhowglobalwarmingandsolardimminginteract."可以进一步印证我们的这一判断。2.答案为A，属情感态度。原文对应信息是"notaskcouldbemoreurgent".注意含有比较级的否定式的理解，这句话的意思是"Thistaskisthemosturgent."从这句话我们可看出气候学家们对待此事的态度。3.答案为B，属推理判断题。文章最后一段的中心思想是：对太阳变暗这一问题的研究还只是刚刚开始，还有很多东西我们不了解。然欧以拉曼纳森（Ramanathan）的话结束全文。就此我们可以判断拉曼纳森的话也应该是符合这段文章的中心大意的。4．答案为A，属事实细节题。原文对应信息是"itappearsthatincreasedairpollutionduringthose30year-overAsia,inparticular-withthehelp,perhaps,ofsomeincreasedcloudiness,mayhaveexertedacoolinginfluenceonthesurfaceoftheplanet".这句话的意思是"全球——特别是亚洲——不断加剧的大气污染，借助数量有所增加的云度可能对整个地球表面起了一种冷却作用"，而在形成云层的过程中由于"theclouddropletsthatformaretoosmallandneverbecomeweightyenoughtofalltotheground"（所形成的云状水滴显得又太小，永远达不到足以落到地面的重量），所以这些云层无法变成雨滴落在地面，而是停留在大气层，从而对大气层起到一种冷却作用。选项A是这种现象所造成的结果。5．答案为C，属推理判断题。文章最后一段提出对太阳变暗这一问题的研究还只是刚刚开始，还有很多东西我们不了解。由此我们可做出判断。Text2

题目分析6．答案为A，属推理判断题。原句是"Twoofthesefull-lengthvolumeswereindeedtitled'Testimony,'aswasanearlierprosework;itwasawordthatkepthimclosecompany.""长篇中的两篇题目就是'证词'，早些的散文作品也是，这个词一直伴随他左右。"从这句话前面对他作品的介绍也可以看出，这些长篇诗歌是来源于一些证词的，这就是为什么他一直和证词有关的原因，也就是为什么这个词一直和他有关。答案A：查尔斯经常写一些和证词有关的作品，答案B：查尔斯经常被卷入证词事件中，答案C：查尔斯喜欢写证词，答案D：查尔斯是个忙碌的律师，四个答案中最符合的是A.7．答案为C，属推理判断题。Reznikoff对待他被归为客观主义流派的态度可以追溯文章中谈到客观主义部分。文章第二段提到他被看作是客观主义流派，对此他的态度可以从他的话语中看出，"'ThelearnedfellowwasLouisZukofsky,brillianteminenceoftheObjectivists,withwhomIdisagreeastobothformandcontentofverse,buttowhomIamobligedforplacingsomeofmythingshereandthere.'"从disagree一词中就可以看出他对这种评价持反对态度，后面提到"SoreadReznikoff'sconclusionin1931,withitsfillipofpoliteresentment."从resentment也可以得出这个结论，因此答案该选C.8．答案为B，属猜词题。该词所在原句是"ThismusthaverankledReznikoff,whospenthiswritinglifetracingthematerialandthenecessary.""这一定……Reznikoff，他的写作生涯主要就是描述物质的和必然的东西。"这句话还需要结合上下文来看，上文提到运动和流派是讲述诗歌历史的随意、非物质的东西，而上一段提到Reznikoff对于被归为客观主义流派不满，可以提到他对此持否定态度，因此答案中A"使感兴趣"，答案B"激怒"，答案C"使高兴"，答案D"安慰"，其中B最符合逻辑。9．答案为D，属推理判断题。第四段主要讲述了Reznikoff青年学习法律，以及他诗歌创作中法律的作用。下面逐一分析答案，答案A"Reznikoff喜欢学习法律"：从第四段"hewaslittleinterestedinlegalpractice"可以看出他对此并不热衷，该选项不符合原文；答案B"Reznikoff更加喜欢精神世界"：从第四段"Reznikoff'sfaithinthefactsofthecasetakesonanintensitynolesssocialthanspiritual……"可以看出，他对社会方面的热衷不比精神世界差，因此该选项不符合原文；答案C"Reznikoff能写出充满关切的诗歌来令人惊讶"：文章提到"Ifthissuggestsacongenitaloptimismaboutthelaw,itmadeforastonishinglycare-filledpoetry."（如果这暗示着对法律天生的乐观的话，这种天赋正是为了令人惊讶的充满关切诗歌而有的。）虽然提到"令人惊讶"，但不是说他可以写出诗歌令人惊讶，因此也不符合原文；答案D"Reznikoff的诗歌写作很大程度上受其法律经验的影响。"：其实整个段落讲述了他虽然年青时代不热衷法律，但是在其写作中处处有法律的影响，因此答案D是符合原文的答案。10．答案为D，属推理判断题。文章最后一段刚开始讲的是诗集将五六首诗压缩在一页上，这样会削弱力量，尽管不是那么会留下深刻印象，但每首诗都是一种美国式俳句，这之后就说到"Onesuch,numbered60inthevolume'JerusalemtheGolden',runsinitslength"有这么一首诗就是这么样的长度，因此可以看出，列出这首诗还是为了说明压缩诗后很短，因此答案为D.Text3WilliamShakespearedescribedoldageas"secondchildishness"-sansteeth,sanseyes,sanstaste.Inthecaseoftastehemay,musicallyspeaking,havebeenevenmoreperceptivethanherealized.ApaperinNeurologybyGiovanniFrisoniandhiscolleaguesattheNationalCentreforResearchandCareofAlzheimer'sDiseaseinBrescia,Italy,showsthatoneformofseniledementiacanaffectmusicaldesiresinwaysthatsuggestaregression,ifnottoinfancy,thenatleasttoapatient'steens.Frontotemporaldementiaiscaused,asitsnamesuggests,bydamagetothefrontandsidesofthebrain.Theseregionsareconcernedwithspeech,andwithsuch"higher"functionsasabstractthinkingandjudgement.FrontotemporaldamagethereforeproducesdifferentsymptomsfromthelossofmemoryassociatedwithAlzheimer'sdisease,amorefamiliardementiathataffectsthehippocampusandamygdaleinthemiddleofthebrain.Frontotemporaldementiaisalsorarerthanpatients;ithasseenonly46withfrontotemporaldementia.TwoofthosepatientinterestedDr.Frisoni.Onewasa68-year-oldlawyer,theothera73-year-oldhousewife.Bothhadundamagedmemories,butdisplayedthesortsofdefectassociatedwithfrontotemporaldementia——adiagnosisthatwasconfirmedbybrainscanning.Abouttwoyearsafterhewasfirstdiagnosedthelawyers,onceaclassicalmusicloverwhoreferredtopopmusicas"merenoise",startedlisteningtotheItalianpopband"883".Ashiscommandoflanguageandhisemotionalattachmentstofriendsandfamilydeteriorated,hecontinuedtolistentothebandatfullvolumeformanyhoursaday.Thehousewifehadnotevenhadthelawyer'sloveofclassicalmusic,havingneverenjoyedmusicofanysortinthepast.Butaboutayearafterherdiagnosisshebecameveryinterestedinthesongsthather11-year-oldgranddaughterwaslisteningto.ThiskindofchangeinmusicaltastewasnotseeninanyoftheAlzheimer'spatients,andthusappearstobespecifictothosewithfrontotemporaldementia.Andotherstudieshaveremarkedonhowfrontotemporal-demetiapatientssometimesgainnewtalents.Fivesuffererswhodevelopedartisticabilitiesknown.Andinanotherlapseofmusicaltaste,onewomanwiththediseasesuddenlystartedcomposingandsingingcountryandwesternsongs.Dr.Frisonispeculatesthattheillnessiscausingpeopletodevelopanewattitudetowardsnovelexperiences.Previousstudiesofnovelty-seekingbehaviorsuggestthatitismanagedbythebrain'srightfrontallobe.Apredominanceoftherightovertheleftfrontallobe,causedbydamagetothelatter,mightthusleadtoaquestfornewexperience.Alternatively,thedamagemayhaveaffectedsomespecificneuralcircuitthatisneededtoappreciatecertainkindsofmusic.Whetherthatisagainoralossisadifferentmatter.AsDr.Frisoniputsitinhisarticle,"degustibusnondisputandumest".Or,inplainerwords,thereisnoaccountingfortaste.11.ForShakespeare,oldageas"secondchildishness"fortheyhavethesame

题目分析11．答案为D，属推理判断题。文章第一句"莎士比亚把老年人比作人生第二个幼年期"，紧接着后面"sansteech,sanseyes,sanstaste"是补充说明的，sans不知道是什么意思，但可以推断老人和婴儿在牙齿、眼睛、味觉方面的特点就是在这些方面都不敏感，（sans是法语，意思是"没有"）那么答案中"A爱好"、"B记忆"、"C经历"、"D感觉"，根据原文应该是D，因牙齿、眼睛、味觉都和感官有关。12．答案为A，属事实细节题。文章第二段脑周损伤痴呆顾名思义脑前和脑周受到破坏。它会影响语言表达能力、抽象思维能力和判断能力，因此答案中只有"A丧失记忆"是文章没有提到的。13．答案为D，属推理判断题。文章第五段中提到"这种对音乐品味的变化在Alzheimer's病人中是看不到的。它好像是脑周痴呆病人特有的症状。"而且文中提到的这两个人都是在爱好的音乐类型上发生了变化，所以答案中"A驾驭语言的能力衰退"、"B对朋友和家人的感情疏远"、"C脑周痴呆可能会对病人引发出新的兴趣和天分"、"D痴呆可使病人在音乐品味上有变化"，答案D最为切合。虽然第五段也提到了这种病可以让人产生新的天分，但是其他的研究所发现的。14．答案为D，属猜词题。最后一段Frisoni论述到疾病使人对新鲜事物产生兴趣"Apredominanceoftherightovertheleftfrontallobe,causedbydamagetothelatter,mightthusleadtoaquestfornewexperience."答案"A历史的"、"B特别的"、"C特殊的、故事般的"、"D新奇的、稀奇的"，这四个答案中D最为符合。15．答案为B，属推理判断题。文章最后一段解释了为什么病人会对一些新奇的经验有新的态度。"Previousstudiesofnovelty-seekingbehaviorsuggestthatitismanagedbythebrain'srightfrontallobe.Apredominanceoftherightovertheleftfrontallobe,causedbydamagetothelatter,mightthusleadtoaquestfornewexperience.Alternatively,thedamagemayhaveaffectedsomespecificneuralcircuitthatisneededtoappreciatecertainkindsofmusic.""研究表明，大脑的右前体控制人追求稀奇事务的作为。一旦左前体受损，右前脑体作用突出，随即引发人对新事物的兴趣。或者说，这种损伤会影响用来欣赏某种音乐的特殊神经电路。"答案A"左半脑体受损影响一些特殊神经电路"，根据文章有两种可能，这一点不能确定；答案B"那位律师病人的左前脑体受损了"，律师对音乐的喜好发生了变化，这证明了是左前脑体受损了；答案C"左半脑体受损能减少对音乐的喜好"，文中只提到会影响，至于是增加还是减少对音乐的喜还就不一定了；答案D"每个病人有不同样的品味"，从文章最后一句可以看出，每个人品味是不同的。Text4Comparedwiththeglamorousthrillofthepresidentialprimary,stateelectionsinNewHampshiredonotgripthevoter-allthoseunfamiliarnames,waydownattheendoftheballot.That,atleast,isthecurrentexplanationofhowTomAlcieremanagedtogetelectedtothestatelegislaturelastNovember.Afteranuneventfulcampaignofhand-shakingandsign-waving,thisRepublicanfromNashua,whohadlostseveralpreviousbidsforoffice,wonaseatby55votes.Whereuponhisconstituentslearnedthathewasanadvocateofkillingpolicemen.Mr.Alcierehadnottriedtoconcealthis.HepostedvigorousnotesonInternetdiscussionboards;one,inOctober,declaredthat"nobodywilleverbesafeuntilthelastcopisdead."Heoftenjoinedinradiotalk-shows,sometimesdescribinghimselfas"AngryTom".ButinhiselectioncampaignMr.Alcierewasmuchmistier:hepromisedonlytofightforindividualfreedom.Helatersaidthathedidnotbringuphisopinionsaboutthepolicebecausenobodyasked.Thishaspromptedsomesoul-searchingamongjournalists,andothers,whofailedtospotAngryTombehindCandidateTom.Mr.Alciereblamesthevoters.InoneInternetmessage,hecalledhisconstituents"abunchoffat,stupid,uglyoldladiesthatwatchsoapoperas,playbingo,readtabloidsanddon'tknowthemetricsystem".Thesepeople,beitnoted,arepartoftheNewHampshireelectoratethatissooftenadmiredforitsmaverickcharm,wieldingmuchpowerinthechoiceofAmerica'spresidentsthroughitsfirst-in-the-nationprimary.ThepointisthatNewHampshirepaysattentiontopresidentialraces,butconsidersitsownstatelawmakersprettyunimportant.AsKenGidge,aradiotalk-showhostputsit,quitepossibly"adog-catcherinaparticularcommunityhasmorepower".NewHampshire'slegislaturehas400memberswhofacere-electioneverytwoyearsandearnanannualsalaryof$100.Thelegislatureisa"dinosaurwithatinylittlebrain",asymbolofNewHampshire'sdisdainforgovernment,saysArnieArnesen,apoliticalscienceprofessoratFranklinPierceCollege.Sheclaimsthat,inthepast,someofitsmembershavebeenfoundtohavementalproblems.NodoubtothersheldopinionsaspungentasMr.Alciere's;buttheydidnothaveanInternetonwhichtopublicizethem.Atfirst,Mr.Alciererefusedtoleavehisseat,insistinghewas"notanut".Thenhesaidthathewouldstepdown,if11lawmakerspledgedtobringhispetbillstoaroll-callvote.Hewantstolegalizedrugs,baninvoluntarycommitmentstomentalinstitutions,andreplacestateschoolswithonlineeducation.OnJanuary10th,acompromisewasreached:anotherfreshmanRepublicanagreedtosubmiteightofhisproposals,andMr.Alciereresigned.Somethinkheshouldhavebeenkepta
