参考答案

1.lowlow解析：文章在最后一部分谈到了针对两种最常见Bt玉米的实验：Accordingtotheagency,howeverpreliminarystudiesevaluatingthetwomostcommonBtcornplants(fromNovartisandMonsanto)alreadyindicatethatmonarchlarvaeencounterBtcornpollenonmilkweedplants—butatlevelstoolowtohetoxic接着又谈美国环保署“估计，即使马利筋叶片上每平方公分有高达150颗的玉米花粉，昆虫食用后也没有明显的危害”。

2.businessassociationbusinessassociation解析：本题空白处问“关于闲聊的重要性”。根据关键词"smalltalk"将问题定位于"Smalltalk"小标题下，全文第五段最后两句中提到"Sometimesthat'sallittakestobeginalong-lastingfriendshiporbusinessassociation．Soneverunderestimatethepowerofsmalltalk."，可以得知“闲聊对于开始持久的友谊或者商业往来的重要性”，直接摄取答案即可，注意原文中的"so"与提纲中的"because"同义替换。因此，答案为businessassociation。

3.anumberofuniquewaysanumberofuniqueways解析：题干考查人类对地球的影响。由原文可以推知虽然不是第一种深刻影响地球的物种，人类还是通过许多独特的方式影响地球。综上对原文分析，可知anumberofuniqueways既含义全面又与in搭配，故为正确答案。

4.D解析：由题干中peopleincolonies可定位到第二个小标题下第三段首句Ratherthanagreetothiscorporate/governmentsecretagreement，about150colonistsdumpedtheEIC'snewshipmentofteaintoBostonHarbor.由原文可知，发生了在波士顿的倾茶事件。D)中threwinto与原文中dumped同义，故选D)。

5.ThecreationofaNationalOfficeforYongPeopleThecreationofaNationalOfficeforYongPeople解析：参见“EffortstoTackleSuicideProblem”小节部分第三段第一、三句：Therisingdeathtollhasjustbeguntoforcesuicideontothenation'spoliticalagenda(政治日程)...BrendanNelson,aphysicianandbackbencherinParliament(国会普通议员),recentlycalledforthecreationofaNationalOfficeforYoungPeopletoreporttotheprimeministeronyouthconcerns.

6.acriminaloffenseacriminaloffense解析：根据关键词anyECmemberstates可把本题定位到原文倒数第1段第2句：Accordingtothedirective,moneylaunderingistobemadeacriminaloffenseinallmemberstates，本题应填写的是acriminaloffense。

7.variesbyspeciesvariesbyspecies解析：由题干中的Sourwood定位到第二个小标题下的末段第2句，再由thetimingofcolorchange定位到这段段首Thetimingofthecolorchangealsovariesbyspecies．Sourwood(酸叶石楠)insouthernforestscanbecome．．．此处需填入宾语从句的谓语成分。本段段首指出树叶改变颜色的时间也随着物种的不同而不同，下文用酸叶石楠在其他植物还是绿色的时候就改变了叶子颜色的例子来证明这个论点。题目将这个顺序颠倒了一下，问举酸叶石楠这个例子的目的是什么，故段首的谓语部分variesbyspecies就是答案。

8.C解析：本题涉及到有机食品的价格问题，从而将题目出处定位到WhyisorganicFoodSoExpensive?部分。该部分末段提到FAO指出organicproduce的成本应该会降低(shouldreducecosts)，但并没有提到会降到lowerthanconventionalproducts，因此题干的内容从原文中找不到依据，故答案为NG。

9.producedrapidlyandinstalledeasilyproducedrapidlyandinstalledeasily解析：参见本文第3段第2、3句：“……familydwellingwhichcouldbeproducedrapidly...Theycouldbe“installed”anywhere...andwithlittleadditionaldifficulty.”

10.aircirculationaircirculation解析：参见本文第八段第一句：“Thespherical(球形的)structureofadomeis...efficientinterioratmospheres...becauseairandenergyareallowedtocirculatewithoutobstruction．

11.harder/moredifficultharder/moredifficult解析：空前的Comparedwith和itis表明，本空应填一形容词的比较级。该句提到，Andwhilelyingmaybeeasy,spottingaliarisfarfromit，即撒谎可能很简单，但是鉴别谎言就差很远了。由此可知，相比较于撒谎而言，鉴别谎言更难。本空应填的词和easy在词义上是相反的，且为比较级，故答案为harder/moredifficult。

12.D解析：该句提到，Auto-Tune诞生后，几乎立刻成为录音室工程师的秘密武器，他们用它来修正歌手唱错的音符，随后说明原因：省下重录所需的花费和麻烦。[D]theydon'thavetowastetimeonrecordingmusicagain是对分词结构表示的原因saving…redosessions的同义转述，故答案为[D]。[B]项是对atradesecret的错误理解。

13.alteredaltered解析：根据关键词paperlessoffice查读小标题PaperlessOffice下面第五句Inmostcomputersystems，thereexiststhepossibilityofalteringrecordswithoutatrailbeingleft．

14.buildupofcarbondioxidegasbuildupofcarbondioxidegas解析：本题根据第二个黑色小标题下第四段第一句而设，“TheGreenhouseEffect，alsoreferredtoasglobalwarming，isgenerallybelievedtocomefromthebuildupofcarbondioxidegasintheatmosphere．”

15.morequestionsthananswersmorequestionsthananswers解析：全文讲述了HIV疫苗的初次成功带给人们惊喜，同时研究者发现还有很多问题，其中进行的一些实验中也有些问题亟待解决。由本文的题目可得答案。

16.canbeeasilyassociatedwithyoupersonallycanbeeasilyassociatedwithyoupersonally解析：此处要求填入谓宾语成分作because的原因状语从句。根据原句意思可判断破折号前后内容构成因果关系，即不能使用生日或个人的电话号码作密码是因为它们均很容易地与个人联系起来，因此canbeeasilyassociatedwithyoupersonally为本题答案。

17.A

18.A

19.democracycohesionandculturedemocracy,cohesionandculture解析：信息来源为文章中的第6段。

20.lockthedoorslockthedoors解析：此处要求填入省略to的动词不定式。aswellas短语要求其前后部分应为并列成分。原句中also与aswellas意思相同，因此将该句中主谓结构根据题干语法需要变为动宾结构，可得答案lockthedoors。

21.C解析：综合推断题。男士说女士的电脑有为期一年的保修期，女士可以把电脑运回给公司，公司会为其换一台，由此可知，如果坏掉的电脑在保修期内，公司可以为顾客换一台，故选C。

22.therightofeachchildtoreceivehelpinlearningtothelimitsofhisorhercapacitywhetherthatcapacitybesmallorgreattherightofeachchildtoreceivehelpinlearningtothelimitsofhisorhercapacity，whetherthatcapacitybesmallorgreat解析：therightofeachchildtoreceivehelpinlearningtothelimitsofhisorhercapacity，whetherthecapacitybesmallorgreat

27.typical

28.C解析：该题问“男士提出帮女士做什么”。女士说：“我想一想都很激动!这是我第一次去巴黎呀!我要游遍那儿所有的名胜，但是我怕在那儿找不到路。”男士说：“不用担心，有问题就给我打电话，我很乐意带你参观，我对这些地方太熟悉了。”由此可以看出男人是愿意当她的导游的。故[C]“给她当导游”为正确答案。

29.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。

30.D

31.manage

32.increase

33.D解析：Howlongshouldfoodbeleftbeforeadog?

四个选项都是时间短语，因此本题肯定考查事情发生的时间，听力时注意将短文中提到每个时间及其发生的时间迅速记录下来，再根据问题进行判断。

食物应该给狗留多长时间，本文第三段首先回答了，在任何情况下都不能超过30分钟，never...morethanthirtyminutesunderanycircumstances．假如狗吃了很长时间，那么你应该带它去看兽医。因此本题选D)。

34.C解析：Whatisthemaintopicofthetalk?

综合短文开头部分提到的ButevenifthebillispassedinCongressinstilldoesn'tbecomealawuntilthePresidenthasachancetoreviewit，too以及后文中的Oneis…，TheotherwaythePresidentcankillabillis…可推知，本文主要讲的是总统是如何否决一项议案的，选项C正确。

35.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。

38.address

39.A解析：Whatisthemostcommonprobleminsoftwaremanualsaccordingtothepassage?

40.D解析：事实细节题。文章说有些医院把艺术家请进来，就是为了要改造旧医院，从而改善医院的环境，而且英国有100所医院的走廊上、等候区和诊疗室里都挂上了现代艺术品。可见，把艺术家叫到医院的原因是D)“因为医院需要他们的作品来进行装饰”。

41.D解析：此题属情感态度题。短文第五段中提到“'IwentthroughastagewhereIhatedIndia,hatedeverythingaboutit,'hesays.'Youjustcouldn'tmentionIndiatome.'ButaftersixsessionsattheEastIndiaColoradoHeritageCamp,heldatSnowMountainRanchinEstesPark,Colo.,hehopestotraveltoIndiaafterhegraduatesfromhighschoolnextyear.”也就是说，亚历克斯一开始很厌恶印度，甚至都不能跟他提起印度，但后来，他希望今后能去印度看看。由此可以看出他对印度的态度的转变，从厌恶到一定的认可，故D项“有些认可”为正确答案。

42.AllOfUswhokeepthedrugmarketever-increasing.AllOfUswhokeepthedrugmarketever-increasing.解析：玛丽?简?哈切尔自问自答地道出了答案：使用毒品并使毒品市场不断扩大的人应为此负责。文章末句再次重申他的死和前一句所讲到的人相关。
