六、写作(1题)82.Forthispartyouareallowed30minutestowriteacompositiononthetopic:MakeOurCitiesGreener.Youshouldwritenolessthan150wordsandbaseyourcompositionontheoutline(giveninChinese)below.

1.城市绿化的现状。

2.绿化的好处(如：清闲空气，美化城市，改善气候……)。

3.怎样才能实现绿化。

参考答案

1.C52．答案为C

此考题为细节题。文章第l段第2句告诉我们：WilliamSelig于1908年建了一个电影制造车间，而从第3句By1911，DavidandWilliamHorselyhadsetupanotheroneinHollywood...中，我们就可以认定C正确。

2.D51．答案为D

根据文章第一句itisimportanttobeontime，orpunctual可知punctual的意思是“守时”。

3.C解析：本题为词汇知识考查题。题中resortedto为关键词。首先从文章中搜索出resortedto所在位置，然后借助上下文进行推敲、猜测。第3段第1、2句讲工会努力通过bargaining改变现状，如果不成，工会就会resortedtostrikes。依照上下文推断resortedto为“求助，诉诸”等意思。故C项是正确答案。而A停止，B放弃，D继续都不符合逻辑推理。

4.A解析：这道题要求选出适合本文的标题，属于考查掌握全文主旨大意能力的题。根据全文大意，主要讲了两种测试的内容，因此A选项为本题答案。B和C选项均不是本文主要讨论的话题，而D选项则犯了概括过宽的错误，因为本文并未涉及飞机制造和测试的全过程。

5.A

6.D解析：文章讲的是戴胡子的习俗。包括胡子的颜色、种类、款式，以及戴胡子的场合。

7.D解析：这道题考查学生抓住文章主旨大意的能力。文章的第一、二段提供了本文讨论的话题的背景，即英语正在变为世界性的语言并且作为人们的母语或第二语言或外语被广泛应用。第三段提出了问题Isthisagoodthing,orabadthing?Shouldwecelebratethefactthatmoreandmoreofuscancommunicate,usingacommonlanguage,acrosscountriesandcultures(文化)?Orshouldweworryaboutthedangersof“mono-culturalism”，aworldinwhichweallspeakthesamelanguage,eatthesamefoodandlistentothesamemusic?我们应该为这个事实感到高兴呢，还是应当为出现“一元文化主义”的危险而担忧呢?作者在以下各段就这个问题发表了自己的意见。因此应该选D选项whetherweneedtoworryaboutEnglishbeingaworldlanguage.“是否有必要为英语变为世界语言而担忧”。选项B为枝节问题，而选项A和C在文中没有详细讨论，不是主题，故排除。

8.D本文讲的是许多日本火车站启用蓝色的灯以减少卧轨自杀人数。第一段提到，蓝色可以创造平静的氛围，想自杀的人会在这种气氛中平静下来，所以采用蓝色。

9.C文章第二段第一句话表明Mrs．Ed—wards希望得到免费商品，成为幸运顾客。

10.A解析：在第六段，Cusick说，马戏团在雇用他时就已经知道他是艾滋病病毒携带者，因此在他花费长时间的准备之后，又没有让他登台演出就解雇他是不公平的。

11.A解析：由文章第一段提到的Iwasplanningtostopandvisitafriend可以看出正确答案。

12.D解析：这道题问Mr．Barlow离开第一份工作的另一个原因是什么。答案可在第四段末找到。Irealizedafterawhilethat…“我意识到作为一个刷子的推销员，我挣的钱还不够养家糊口”。supporting意思是“养活”。这导D选项hewasnotearningenoughmoneyasabrushsalesman意思相同。C选项意思是“他的家人不支持他做刷子推销员的工作”。A选项描述的工作与他实际工作是销售办公用品不符。B选项为“他申请了Warman's公司的推销员的工作”，这并不是离开第一份工作的原因，因为他离开那份工作是在申请Warman's推销员工作之前的6个月。

13.B参考文章第三段第二句和最后一句。

14.D

15.D文章讲的是一次事件，人被鲸鱼吞入肚中却活着出来了。D项是正确的。

16.B解析：倒数第一段和第二段都可以表明作者是很赞成使用这种仪器的。

17.B解析：细节推断题。根据第一段“Itisalsopossibleforastudenttomovebetweenoneuniversityandanotherduringhisdegreecourse"可得出正确答案为8。

18.D解析：第2段讲古董的美学价值，第3段讲其历史价值，并且第1段3、4行提到“aestheticorhistoricmerit”，故选D。

19.C解析：最后一段。最后得出的数据是因温度的升高而造成海水水面每年升高0．53毫米，而不是政府的气候变化专门委员会预报的0．32毫米。从数据上看，海水温度的实际升高速度比科学家们原来预想的快。

20.C解析：参见最后一段。

21.B解析：参见第一段最后一句。

22.C根据义章第二段可知，现代货币系统是电子的，快捷便利，具有相当的规模，不受地域的限制等，可知C项不正确，故选C项。

23.A解析：本题属理解分析题。文章最后一句已明确提示。

24.C解析：参见原文第一段。14世纪的男士以戴胡子表明自己的高贵和时尚。

25.B解析：由大声朗读到默读是读书的性质发生变化，故选B。

26.A

27.D解析：文中“analcoholichusbandwhohasallbutabandonedthefamily”就是对James的父亲的描绘。

28.C解析：文中第三段第二、第三行讲述了BenSands发现LostSea的故事。

29.A解析：本题为事实细节题。Papousek的实验是让婴儿学习转动脑袋来控制一组电灯或明或暗，以使孩子学会向左右转动自己的头。

30.C

31.D

32.A此题为一道理解题。此空白处所要填充的是一个前面已两次涉及过的概念，即在文章第2段中的it'sdifficulttodefinewhatacityis和同一段中的itisn'teasytodetermineacity'sboundaries。如能很快查到或记起相关论述，就能很快断定出此处所需填充的是一个表示“边界”或“范围”的英文词。、当limit用来表达“界限”、“界线”和“范围”时，通常使用其复数形式。

33.C

34.A解析：尽管他的母亲整日以泪洗面并为他祈祷，他仍不思悔改。mendone'sway表示“改过自新”。

35.D解析：这个陌生人是个著名的魔术师。

36.A此处是介词的固定用法，表示持续多长时间，用介词for。其它介词at，by，in都无此用法，故选A。

37.A24．接上一题。强调以前从未听说过。选项A是正确的。

38.B解析：通过pass可以确定为B选项time，pass=spend。

39.A34．答案为A

根据上一句话的意思我们知道这句话的意思应该是VOA创造了一种更简单的新闻英语，“创造”为invent，故选A。

40.C

41.D解析：每个人对这个主意的看法都不同。有喜欢的，有讨厌的，也有的认为这个主意很聪明。

42.C解析：前面已经说授予的是和平奖，因此这里肯定指的是表彰他们在北爱尔兰的冲突问题上采用了和平的解决方式。

43.C解析：现在完成时，havehad。强调结果，表示出了车祸就需要用手机与人联系。

44.A解析：Peoplewhocare中的care意思是“关心、在乎”。

45.B

46.C解析：这篇文章讲述了一位英国女性化石探索者的故事。玛丽·安宁是英国的化石探寻者。她从幼时就开始寻找化石了。

47.C

48.Contime准时到达。

49.B解析：havesomefreetime意思是“有些闲暇时间”。

50.D解析：通篇讲的是电视发生的变化，这里是作者对电视未来的思考，而不是其他的。选项D是正确的。

51.B解析：画线部分读[i：]，其他选项的画线部分读[ia]。

52.Bresist中字母s读作[s]，其他都是读作[z]。
