参考答案

1.thetimewhentheworkwascreatedthetimewhentheworkwascreated解析：细节辨认题。文章最后一段提到，根据作品创作的时间，版权保护期自作品被创造日起算或是在作者去世70年后终止。所以版权保护的时间取决于作品创作的时间，由此确定答案为thetimewhentheworkwascreated。

2.invisibilityinvisibility解析：第四段末句说袭击者们搞错了袭击对象，他们袭击的都不是转基因作物。第五段首句就说其中原因很容易理解(It'seasytounderstandwhy．)。接着解释原因：转基因作物是无形的(invisible).根据题干的要求，在空格处应填入invisible的名词形式invisibility.

3.submergedsubmerged解析：文章第五自然段最后两句说明此点。遗憾的是许多疾病在爆发前处于隐性状态，从而错过了检验和治愈的可能。

4.tradeandagriculturetradeandagriculture解析：根据题干中的信息词melting和newopportunities定位到最后一个小标题下的第一段，可知对于生活在该地区的人而言，冰川融化带来的既有好消息，也有坏消息，坏消息是他们现有的生活方式和主食将会改变，而好消息就是融化后更为开阔的海洋将给他们带来贸易和农业的新机会，由此可得答案。

5.B解析：根据题干中的信息词families和investment定位到第三个小标题下的第一段，可知许多家庭原以为自己的计划很完善，即便学费继续攀高，他们投资的回报也足够支付费用，可没想到的是那些投资和股市一起失败了。由此推断，很少有家庭可以通过投资计划支付高昂的学费，故该句表述错误。

6.D解析：同义转述题。题干问我们如何知道退休开销计划会起作用。原文中首先提到tryadryrun，后面紧接着是对dryrun的进一步说明，作者建议将未来的退休生活预先试验一下，D“对这种生活进行一下试验”与原文相符。

7.C解析：根据题干信息词aU.N.convention定位到第二个小标题末段第二句话。即：联合国在跨边界的空气污染上有协定，但是不包括邻国之间出现的每个问题，也不包括不接壤的州之间出现的问题，故选C。

8.thetraditionalsocialgatheringsthetraditionalsocialgatherings解析：由于本题也出现了“JohnBarrett”，因此我们可以在上题所说的信息出现的地方第十三段附近继续查找，然后很快发现在紧接着的15段有本题的信息：“JohnBarrett'sbookalsodescribesthetraditionalsocialgatheringsofSavannah'srichestcitizens．Andittellsaboutsomeofthecity'sunusualpeopleandplaces”，题干用的是notonly...butalso...的结构，表达的意思跟原文句子一致，所以本题的空格处应填thetraditionalsocialgatherings。

9.C解析：文中未有此信息。

10.the"roughhandling"oftheexplosivesbytheblacksailorsthe"roughhandling"oftheexplosivesbytheblacksailors

11.B解析：根据题干中的信息词atgraduation和dismaljobmarket定位到第一个小标题下的倒数第二段，可知有越来越多的大学生抵押自己的未来以支付高昂的学费和读大学的其他费用，他们毕业时背负着沉重的学生贷款和信用卡债务，更不用提低靡的就业市场了。由此可知，大学生毕业时至少面临三个问题，故该句表述错误。

12.thesafetyofgeneticallymodifiedfoodthesafetyofgeneticallymodifiedfood解析：定位句中讲到“许多欧洲国家严格限制转基因农作物产品的种植和进口”，而在下一句指出“主要的争议集中在基因改造食物的安全性”(Muchofthedebatehingesonperceptionsof
