参考答案

1.C解析：Freud从Charcot那里只学到了许多知识，helearnedalotfromCharcot,他也不知道该如何治愈精神病人。

2.D解析：根据题干关键词California定位到原文第四小标题下第三段首句：Californiaalsohascreatedaspecialidentitytheftregistrytoaddresstheproblem，avictims'databasethatcanbeusedtopreventafalsearrest．可知加利福尼亚设立了一个特殊身份盗用登记处，记录问题和受害人的基本资料，以防抓错人。故选D项。

3.studysessionsstudysessions解析：细节题。根据题目中的Crammers找到分标题TheCrammer部分，第二段第四句Improveyourgradesbyaddingcasualstudysessionsbeforeyouhithigh-stressmode.(在高压来临之前采取增加非正式学习课时的方式来提高成绩。)题目中的informal和原文casual同义。

4.howspaceisassignedhowspaceisassigned解析：见小标题TheEnglish下第一段最后一句话。

5.acrystallineproteinacrystallineprotein解析：农作物植入抗虫害基因可以对一些害虫产生“免疫”，这里面的作用机理在文章里有表述“Todate，insectresistancehasbeenprovidedbyagenefromthesoilbacteriumBacillusthuringiensis(Bt)．Thisgenedirectscellstomanufactureacrystallineproteinthatistoxictocertaininsects—especiallycaterpillarsandbeetlesthatgnawoncrops—butdoesnotharmotherorganisms”一“作物植入抗虫基因，也产生了优劣参半的后果。目前，抗虫害的特性是取自土壤中杆菌苏立菌(Bacillusthuringiensis，下文简称Bt)的一个基因。这个基因会促使细胞制造——种晶体状蛋白质，对某些昆虫来说是毒药，尤其是啃食作物的毛毛虫和甲虫，却不会伤害其他生物”；而且“不同的苏立菌菌株，各有不同的毒基因，影响的昆虫也不同”。

6.A解析：参见“EnvironmentalChanges”小节部分第三段最后两句：农田因无人照料而荒芜，雨水导致水土流失，果园与牧场为干燥的灌木所覆盖，夏季常自燃引起火灾。

7.incomeandmaritalstatusincomeandmaritalstatus解析：由题干关键词sixtaxbrackets，applyto可将答案定位至第三个小标题下倒数第五段最后一句。Howthetaxrateworksdependsonincomeandmaritalstatus,划线部分就是答案。

8.abondoftrust

9.A

10.theformulationofmechanismsandeconomicincentivestheformulationofmechanismsandeconomicincentives解析：见第四部分第三段:"Intermsofwaterefficiencyinindustry,themajorproblemisalowrecyclingrate."工业用水的主要问题是回收率低。

11.A解析：参见“EnvironmentalChanges”小节部分第一、二段。

12.nosummericeatall。nosummericeatall。解析：根据题干中的信息词U.S.NationalSnowandIceDataCenter和60years定位到第四个小标题下的第二段，可知从美国国家雪冰数据中心的科学家那里得知，海上冰的覆盖率在逐年降低，他们统计出缩减串现在是每十年缩减大约8%，也就是说不到60年，北冰洋上就没有夏冰了，由此可得答案。

13.theamountofbloodintheheadtheamountofbloodinthehead解析：由题干中的thesymptomofinflammatoryheadaches和Sneezing定位到第三个小标题第2点的末句Thepainisheightenedbysneezing…thatincreasestheamountofbloodinthehead．此处需填入名词性成分。题目中的intensify和原文中的heighten同义：题目中的enlarge和原文中的increase也是同义词，所以原文中increase的宾语部分就是答案。

14.C解析：文章中没有提到和微软合作的小公司的具体数目。

15.C解析：第13段的第1句只提到了呼吁公众并没有提到政府。

16.teachers

17.gointohardsciencegointohardscience解析：根据题干中的信息词cuttingbudget和smothersincentives定位到第二个小标题下的最后两段，可知美国总统布什提议削减国家重点科研机构的研究、发展预算，这将导致相关机构的裁员，也会压制学生学习自然科学的动机。

18.D解析：第二句中说斯密是第一位出现在纸币上的经济学家，也可能是最后一个。后面一句用notbecause…butbecause…给出了原因。原因是，已有几千年历史的现金可能在未来15年内变成一串电子数字，也就是本文的主题-电子货币，所以答案是[D]。

19.C解析：本题应锁定文章第六段。该段后两句提到：Irma，oneofthewomenwetalkedwiththinksthatsoonsheandhersisterswillbeabletogobackhome．“Butwe'dlikeourgovernmentandtheworldtogiveusahand”shesaid。这只是Irma的希望，并不一定可以实现，因此题干表述在文中找不到依据，答案为NG。

20.themassofanobjectthemassofanobject解析：本题答案可根据倒数第二段的倒数第二句获得。“Newton'ssecondlawofmotiondescribesforce.Itsaysforceequalsthemassofanobject,multipliedbythechangeinspeeditproducesinanobject.”牛顿对力的定义是物体质量乘以运动速度。

21.C解析：文中的avoideachotherbythesmallestpartofasecond表明，收到空中交通控制员错误指令的两架大型喷气客机最终没有撞到一起(narrowlyescapedcrashingintoeachother)，故C为答案。narrowlyescaped…表示“临险逃脱”。

22.D解析：首先应该根据问题来进行回忆性的解答，问题是，美国大学的助学奖学金包含什么。Thestipendwillcovertuition，roomandboard．WiththatIwon'thavetospongeoffmyfolk．因此判定本题选D项。

23.C

24.theirloyaltyhasearnedthemtheuniquepraise"man'sbestfriend"theirloyaltyhasearnedthemtheuniquepraise"man'sbestfriend"解析：本句较简单。

25.B

26.employment

27.C解析：此题容易混淆数字，在听的时候要注意按照早餐、午餐、晚餐的顺序来记。原文是“Sheateaneggforbreakfast，aneggforlunch，andtwoeggsfordinner．”所以选C。

28.B解析：Whatisthemangoingtodo?

29.C解析：综合推断题。文章的写作目的是为了告知学生这个帮助学生找兼职工作的服务项目，所以C正确。

30.B解析：W:Ihatethewaythetrainsruninthiscity.I'vebeenwaitinghereforalmosthalfanhour.

M:It'salmosteighto'clock,soweshouldbeonourwaysoon.

Q:Whendidthewomanbeginwaitingforthetrain?

31.bookstock

32.knowledge

33.C解析：男士请求女士换一美元零钱以便去打电话。女土说：……你可以在珠宝店前的零钱机(changemachine)去换。因此，抓住了changemachine，就抓住了解题的关键，故选C。

34.B

35.C解析：信息明示题。科普与科研报告类短文的首句往往是整篇文章的topicsentence。由关键词accordingto...引出文章的主要观点或现象。第一句后部分lefthandedpeoplemaybemorelikelytohaveaccidentsthantherighthanded提供了本题明确答案C。

36.B解析：在对话中，男士说Cynthia认为友谊不是爱情，但是它们彼此又是互相依存的，女士认为这是一种过于笼统的观点，并且认为Cynthia首先应该给它们分别定义，由此可见女士是不同意Cynthia的观点的。故选B项。

37.C解析：细节辨认题。文章接着举出例子C
