参考答案

1.openopen解析：由题干的today'ssocialnetworks和theoutsideweb可以定位到第八段前两句Theproblemwithtoday'ssocialnetworksisthattheyareoftenclosedtotheoutsideweb．Thebignetworkshavedecidedtobe"open"toward．．．此处需要填入名词或形容词来作be的表语。根据文意，现在的社会网络经常是对外网关闭的。题干将原文中的problem改写为disadvantage，注意到题干有否定词not，所以要填入closed的反义词，故答案为open。

2.leading/guiding/directingleading/guiding/directing解析：根据“SocialNecessityMakesBirdsSmart”部分第二段“Someravenscertainlyapplytheirintelligenceforthegoodoftheflock．．．Thisbirdleadstheotherstohisfoodstore，apparentlysharinghisfindingwiththerestoftheflock．”可知北美的这些乌鸦引导同伴到自己发现食物的地方，让大家一起分享食物。故此题答案可以填写“leading/guiding/directing”。

3.B解析：由“DoBirdsHaveIntelligence?”部分第三句“Butanewgenerationofscientistsbelievesthatcreatures，includingbirds，cansolveproblemsbyinsightandevenlearnbyexample，ashumanchildrendo．”可见新一代的科学家们认为鸟类和其他动物电具有智慧。因此本题正确答案为B项。

4.time。time。解析：根据题干中的信息词shortcomings和unfortunately定位到第三个小标题下的倒数第二段，可知美国人的缺点很多，而不幸的是，时间还在和他们作对，再结合上文可知，此处意为美国人在理科上的缺点很多，而他们自己却没有意识到那些缺点，这使得他们耽误了保住理科领先地位的时间，由此可得答案。

5.grayishskin

6.A解析：概括题。题文为“事业的转折点可以决定生意成功与否”。题干的中心是事业转折点的重要性。文中相关陈述是在第三段。其中提到：“一个人在生意中常会遇到某一关键点，此时采取什么样的行动会决定自己的事业是上升还是衰落。我们把这一关键点称作事业转折点”。因此，本题答案为[Y]。

7.whetherbeedancesreflectinnatebehaviororintelligencewhetherbeedancesreflectinnatebehavior.orintelligence解析：本题空白处问“有关蜜蜂一这种嗡嗡叫的天才一人们争论的是什么”。文中提到蜜蜂是在第十五段，提到“一些持反对意见的人认为蜜蜂的舞蹈只是天生的一种行为，并非是智能的体现”。可见，争论的焦点在于蜜蜂的舞蹈到底是本能的行为还是有头脑的表现。因此，答案为whetherbeedancesreflectinnatebehavior.orintelligence。

8.A解析：由题干关键词extremelyhotorcold可将答案定位至第二个小标题下LifeintheExtreme第一段第二句。Furthermore，itwasthoughtthatyouwouldprobablynotfindlifewheretemperatureswereextremelyhot…orextremelycold…，原文中itwasthought与题干usedtobelieve同义，因此本题陈述正确。

9.C解析：细节辨认题[考频：27]。该段及全篇均未涉及Wilcox的父亲从1951年开始偶尔会把在他的土地上发现的文物卖掉的情况。

10.bringforththreattotheearthbringforththreattotheearth解析：文章第七段首句阐述了气温的升高会导致气候的变化，接下来的两段具体说明了其结果最终会对地球造成威胁“bringforththreattotheearth”。

11.PrivacyPrivacy解析：参考第8段倒数第6句。

12.proudofhiscountryproudofhiscountry解析：空前的is表明，本空应填一名词(短语)或形容词(短语)。第三句讲述作者在帕劳过马路的一个例子。第四句提到作者对此的看法：即使是过街这样的小事也可以表达他对他的国家的骄傲。题干中的Theexampleofcrossingthestreet是对第三句所举例子的概括总结，shows与第四句提到的tell…about对应，故that引导的宾语从句应该与hisprideinhiscountry对应。因为that从句是主系表结构(themiddleschoolboyis…)，而文中是短语结构(hisprideinhiscountry)，故对hisprideinhiscountry进行同义转化，即proudofhiscountry。

13.A

14.privatemeetingprivatemeeting解析：首句指出Mr．Young曾面临的员工吸毒问题，第二句给出了其处理方法。题干中with的宾语theworkerwhoisasubstanceabuser对应该句中的them(即首句中的employeeswhodevelopedsubstanceabuseproblem)：theproblem对应performanceandbehavioralproblems，故with前的meetprivately即是答案出处。空前的holds和a提示，本空应填一单数名词(短语)，故将meetprivately转化为privatemeeting。

15.D解析：细节题。根据题干信息词man-madechemicals和affected定位到第一个小标题下第二段末句Affectedspeciesincludepolarbears-sonoteventheArcticisimmune．Andthechemicalsclimbthefoodchain，fromfishtomammals，andtous，即：受人造化学制品影响的种类包括北极熊、从鱼到哺乳动物的生物链，也包括人，未提到鸟，故选D。

16.A解析：本题是推断题。文章的第一部分第三段主要叙述了战争给伊拉克人民造成的灾难，由"Iraq’stwomajorreligioussects，hasdegeneratedtotheedgeofacompletelossofcontrol"我们可以知道，战争使伊拉克国内宗教冲突陷入无法控制的局面，因此，宗教矛盾恶化。

17.B解析：本题的关键词为PennsylvaniaStateUniversity，很容易定位于原文相关标题“HOTTESTFORENTREPRENEURS—PennsylvaniaStateUniversity,UniversityPark，Pa．”，原内容为大学10个本科生院中有6个开设企业管理课程。斯密尔商学院和工程学院是最佳伙伴……范围也有大到小，所以故本题应选的是N。

18.Theyusuallypretendtobesickandtalklittleaboutschool.Theyusuallypretendtobesickandtalklittleaboutschool.解析：参看文章"CopingWithAnxietyandLoneliness"部分第三段，并简要概括。

19.A解析：该句提到，Auto—Tune虽无法将每个人的歌声都变成专业歌手的歌声，但就像它的发明人所希望的，能把颤抖走音的歌声修到毫无瑕疵。题干中的thecreatorintendedtouse与该句提到的usedasitscreatorintended对应，[A]项是对Auto-Tune的作用，即transform…flawless的同义转述，其中changeinto、apoorly-sungsong、aperfectone分别与o、awaveringperformance、somethingtechnicallyflawless对应，故答案为[A]。

20.D解析：本题考查两种商业模式的主要区别，首先要知道这两种商业模式是什么。根据第一个小标题下第一段的内容可知，其中一种商业模式是要求客户为所下载的电视或电影内容付费，但是可以保留。(Oneistomakeuserspayforeachtelevisionshoworfilmtheydownload,butthentoletthemkeepit.)而另外一种则要求客户预定所需要的内容，然后分流到电脑上，但是不能永久保留。(Theotherapproachistolet

21.C解析：影片中的纽约充斥各种恐怖景象，就是人间地狱，C为最恰当答案。

22.D解析：Whatismeantbythetermcash?

23.howmuchanhourofourtimeisworthwhetheratworkorhomehowmuchanhourofourtimeisworthwhetheratworkorhome

24.B解析：语意理解题。有些人的生活方式也许是以工作为主(bedominatedbywork)，几乎没有社会活动(includingfewsocialactivities)。有些人也许有自己的爱好和娱乐活动(recreationalactivities)。可见不同人的生活方式是不相同的。故正确答案为B项。

25.D

26.D解析：本题只需要听到关键词组"Asaresult"就可知道前后文是因果关系，因此答案是前面一句"Theyneverbecomesubmissive"，submissive的含义是“顺从的”。

27.D解析：本题是因果题。第二段“Ican'teathotdogs,withallthosepreservatives...”讲述了原因。

28.effort

29.D解析：W:Haveyousavedenoughmoneytobuythatnewprinterforyo
