参考答案

1.passiveenjoymententertainmentpassiveenjoyment，entertainment解析：第3段最后1句，我们通常在我们闲暇时甚至不玩乐，而是消极的享乐和消费。

2.twostepstwosteps解析：答案依据为本文PaintLikeaProWithTheseTechniques标题下第二、三段。

3.violenceandhatredviolenceandhatred解析：本题定位信息是Eminem，从而锁定ExplicitandViolentMusicLyricsGoMainstream部分。该部分第二段提到，Eminem2001年获得了三项格莱美奖等，这说明了他的音乐很受欢迎。但是他的作品歌词中却是充满了暴力和仇恨的。故本题应填入violenceandhatred。

4.thirstythirsty解析：由题干中的WilliamRoberts定位到第10段，再由monkeyslearnedto定位到该段后2句Themonkeyslearnedtochooseonedate...theyanticipatedbecomingthirstyinthefuture．此处需要填入形容词性成分。题干中的foresaw与原文中的anticipated属同义词，所以答案为thirsty。

5.A解析：从这句话“Becausetheireconomyandjobmarketaresogoodnow，they'refindingitveryherdtogetallofthestudentsthattheywant．”我们可以知道这个论述是正确的。

6.B解析：见GeopoliticalPriority这一部分。美国只有通过伊拉克战争分裂阿拉伯国家才能达到控制这一地区的目的。所以，选项和文章的观点是矛盾的。

7.15yearsinprison

8.unmaskedunmasked解析：根据题意和题干中的carotenoidsandanthocyanins定位到第二个小标题下第2段的末句Thecarotenoidsandanthocyaninsthatarepresentintheleafarethenunmaskedandshowtheircolors．此处需填入表语成分。题目中的Leavesshowdifferentcolorsotherthangreen“叶子显现出除绿色外的其他颜色”和原文中的showtheircolors“(类胡萝卜素和花青素)显现出自身的颜色来”表达的实际是同一概念，故答案就是unmasked。

9.NGNG解析：参见本文倒数第四段最后一句：DomeshavebeendesignedbyFullerandotherstowithstandhighwindsandextremetemperaturesasseeninthePolarRegions．由Fuller等人设计的圆顶房屋可以经受得住强风和像南极那样极冷的温度。但是本文并未提及科学家们在南极地区建圆顶房屋的事。

10.becauseofdeaththreatsbecauseofdeaththreats解析：在本文的第四段中提到：“Hebecameaherotosomeandanarchvillaintoothers…”。其大意是：(由于带头在当地取缔卖淫活动)，在有些人眼里，埃默里就成了恶人。正是在这个有争议的改革运动中，在他的办公桌上放着一支他随时都能拿到的手枪。这说明：他受到被杀的威胁。

11.D解析：该句中的...waterinriverchannelsforroughlyhalfasmuch,0.025percent,whichrepresentsonlyaboutonefourthousandthoftheEarth'stotalfreshwater.明确指出答案为D项，题干只是替换了谓语动词，但意思与原文一致。

12.microbicidesmicrobicides解析：本题定位信息是Dr.PeterDiot，从而将答案出处定位到文章第五段。该段末句提到Dr．PeterPiot，ofUNAIDS，suggests...butcouldbesufficientlypowerfultopreventtransmission。由此可知答案为microbicides。

13.B解析：本题涉及到Lesssleep与leptin的关系，从而将题目出处定位到NotEnoughSleep部分。该部分第三段末句提到，睡眠不足时，Leptih显示过饱的激素会下降而ghrelin，显示饥饿的激素则会增加，这会促进我们的食欲。所以增加的是ghrelin而不是leptin。故答案为N。

14.poorposturepoorposture解析：由题干中的amusclecontractionheadache定位到第二个小标题，再由read定位到第1点内容的末句Musclecontractionheadachescanalsobebroughtaboutbyabnormalities…orbypoorposture—especiallybyholdingtheheadatanawkwardanglewhilereading…此处需填入名词性成分。题目中的readforalongtimewith______是原文bypoorposture所列举的不正确姿势中的一例，故by的宾语就是答案。

15.C解析：推理判断题。原文只是将发布照片和不发布照片的广告效果进行对比，并没有提彩色照片和黑白照片的区别，因此题干内容在原文中没有提到。

16.B解析：细节题。根据题干信息词localresidents定位到第一个小标题下的末句Solocalresidents，likemanyinpoorcommunitiesaroundtheglobe，havefacedtheproblemofinvestigatingtheirclaimthatindustriesontheirdoorstepsaremakingthemsick，即：当地居民声称他们门前的工业导致他们生病，故选B。

17.A解析：本题涉及有机食物和传统食物的优劣问题，由此可迅速将答案锁定在小标题IsOrganicFoodBetterthanConventionalFood?部分。根据该部分第一段第二句Thereisnoscientificevidencetosuggestthatitismorenutritiousorsaferthanconventionalfood，可知，并投有科学的证据能够证明有机食物要比传统食物更有营养或食用更安全。题干为该内容的同义转述。

18.creatingprotectedcorridorscreatingprotectedcorridors解析：同义转述题。从定位句可知，随着全球变暖迫使动物们迁移以躲避气候变化，自然资源保护主义者们正在设法建立保护走廊以便动物们能够自由徜徉于自然环境中。题十中giveenoughspacetoanimals是对原文givethespeciesroomtoroam的同义转述。

19.nodifferentnodifferent解析：根据关键词weight定位在小标题Calories，FatandExercise下第二段。文中提到：单从体重的角度考虑，Aproteincalorieisnodifferentfromafatcalorie，由此不难得知本题答案。

20.B解析：本文讲了混合动力汽车的原理及其与电动车、燃气车相比所存在的优势(advantages)，而根本没有提及其存在的不足(disadvantages)，因此题干对文章大意概括错误。

21.rainwillspreadfromScotlandtocovermostpartsbymidnightrainwillspreadfromScotlandtocovermostpartsbymidnight

22.C解析：WhathappenedinBelfastinthelate18thcentury?

23.C解析：推理题。Bill打电话给同学询问工程课的内容，同学说道Youweren'tinenglueerulgclasstoday，wereyou?，Bill进一步说Ihavetheflu，得知他因感冒没有上课。

24.addiction

25.C解析：录音中提到由于从未做过演讲，Tia一想起演讲就觉得不安。故答案为C)。getbutterfliesinone'sstomach意为“觉得不安，发慌”。

26.C解析：由选项中的Focuson,makeeyecontact,lookat等可知，本题可能考查眼神交流的方法。对话中男士提到Look...atthepersonwhoasked...question,...makeeyecontactwiththeotherinterviewers，[C]的表述最为全面准确，故为答案。

27.C解析：信息明示题。通过男士说的Shehasacollectionofcardsfromallovertheworld可知，玛丽喜欢收集明信片，所以C正确。

28.A解析：信息明示题。文章第三段指出，adiversifiedportfolio即为amixofstocks，mutualfunds，bonds，andcash，也就是各种投资项目的组合体，故排除B、C、D，选A。

29.D解析：M:IhavethiscameraherethatIboughtabout12monthsago.Butitsuddenlydoesn'twork.

W:Letmehavealookatyoursalesslip,Iamsorry,sir.Yourwarranty'sexpired.

Q:Whatdoesthewomanmean?

30.C解析：Whatdothetwospeakersthinkabouttheprofessor'sslides?

31.B

32.D

33.anticipated

34.A解析：男士问这个错误我们应该怎么解决。女士建议男士去问问Betty。由此可见，Betty可能了解问题的解决方法(Sheiskindandsmart)。故正确答案应为A。

35.C解析：选项均以Theoldshould开头表明，本题与对老年人的建议有关。短文开头说话者通过自己的年龄引出年老问题，表达了自己对于年老的复杂想法，讲到自己要和别人分享一下对于年老的看法，并引用了勃朗宁的诗说明即使年老也有精彩值得期待，最后还表达了自己对过去50年的满意，对未来岁月已经做好准备。由此可推测，说话者其实是在暗示老年人应平静地面对年老问题，故答案为[C]。

36.stern

37.advertising

38.influenced

39.A

40.intense

41.goingbacktotheoldgooddaysgoingbacktotheoldgooddays解析：在本文的第二段中提到：“Putononeofthosesongsnowand，ifit'sbeenalongtime，theeffectislikeanoldmovie；thescenesplaybackforyouinentireexhilaratingreels”。其大意是：现在听你喜爱的老歌，它就像一部老电影，让时光倒流，让你愉悦陶醉。通过对比可以看出，改写的句子和原句的意思相同。

42.EE解析：空格47所在句子就是分析肥胖所带来结果的，它不仅比吸烟、饮酒以及贫困对健康的影响更坏，而且影响的人群更多(notonlydoes...italsoaffects...)。因此可以判断应该填一个表示否定的、负而的形容词，而negative“否定的，消极的，负面的”正好符合此意。

43.onlyreimbursingdomesticdepositorsonlyreimbursingdomesticdepositors解析：本题是对第二段综合归纳后设置的。由第一句可知，IMF在救援行动上曾一直拖延不前，争论的焦点是冰岛政府偿还储户的义务。本段最后一句指出，冰岛政府先前威胁说只偿还本国储户(threatenedonlytoreimbursedomesticdepositors)。空白处要填威胁的内容，并且是动名词形式，由此可知答案。

44.greatergreater解析：本题考查制服与普通衣服的制作费用和洗涤、保养费用的比较。量后一段提到，尽管制服很耐穿，但它的制作费用相当高，而且有的制服还必须进行专业洗涤和保养，所以说这两项费用都比普通衣服贵。

45.B解析：该题为概括理解题。文章一开头引出话题，接着文章第二段最后一句就提出中心观点：要提升，就要让人了解你，尤其是要让你的上司了解你。第三段最后又再次告诫妇女和黑人，要象男性白人那样展示自我。所以整篇文章强调的是：表现自我的重要性。因此正确是B。A与原文没有关系，C项内容正好与原文内容矛盾，D项偏面反映了文章思想内容，A、C、D都不合题意。

46.loseself-confidence/believethattheyarelackingsomethingloseself-confidence/believethattheyarelackingsomething解析：此意思在最后—段可找到。当父母经常表现对孩子失望时，这种消极的态度会影响孩子对自己的认识——缺乏自信心。

47.fertilelandandvariedclimatesfertilelandandvariedclimates解析：第四段第一句就点明了美国富饶的土壤和多样化的气候给农业生产带来的优势。

48.Statisticalevidence.Statisticalevidence.解析：文章末句指出，人们的健康选择应该反映那些经统计数据显示会使人更有活力，寿命更长的行为，即正确的健康选择应该建立在统计数据证明(statisticalevidence)的基础上。
