感到有愧”。全句的意思为“我们很爱吃，但是往往在吃完之后又有负罪感”。Mbeobsessedwith为固定搭配，原意为“被附上/缠住/迷住心窍”，放在本句表示“十分重视”。全句的意思为“我们很关心健康和减肥，但肥胖却又空前地在蔓延”。A本句缺一个名词作主语，并且根据和介词to的搭配，可以推断出正确选项answer.I本句根据more和ways可以判断出需要填入一个形容词构成比较级，根据上下文，表示喈在禁止酗酒的禁酒令，却激发了更多新奇的方法来酗酒”，可以确定I为正确选项。F本题较难。根据be和by确定应填入一个过去分词。再根据上下文，上文表示“应该吃典型的美国人吃的食物”，下文通过but转折，表示实际上“美国的食物已经被诸如比萨和热狗这样的舶来品所诠释了”，因此可以确定F为正确选项。6.B政治结果，可根据宗教原因religiousreasons来推断此处填政治结果。L由于横线后面没有宾语，可以确定不是形成bring的短语，这样本句所缺的为一名词，做bring的宾语。根据下文解释，“美国人对他们所吃的食物的态度是矛盾的”，可以推出本句意义为“坚定的观点也不是确定不变的”。因此可以确定L为正确选项。K系动词become后应填入一个形容词，和后面介词of形成短语be/becomesuspiciousof"对 感到怀疑”。J本句缺一个名词作主语，并且根据和介词in的搭配，可以推断出正确选项belief，(have)beliefinsth."相信 ”。C本句是一般现在时，缺一个动词，且和with搭配，确定选项为share,sharesth.withsb.,“与某人分享某事”。Passage2【全文翻译】1994年洛杉矶发生强烈大地震后，地震学家报告了一个好消息：地震所造成的伤亡和损害并不大。此次地震有60多人丧生。相较而言，美国1998年发生的相似强度的地震造成的伤亡多达25,000人。洛杉矶地震伤亡人数相对较少，是因为地震发生在凌晨4：31，而当天是个假日。当时城市公路上的车辆稀少。此外，在过去的20年中洛杉矶市对建筑法规所做的修订使城市的建筑和道路系统更加坚固，增强了抗震能力。在过去，防震建材指的是坚固并且有弹性的材料，如钢材和木材，它们即使弯曲也不会折断。后来，人们尝试着将建筑物从地基上提起来，然后在建筑物和地基之间填充橡胶和钢材，从而减少地面震动对建筑物的影响。最新的建筑设计不仅为建筑提供水泥和钢筋支撑，而且还赋予它智能，从而成为智能建筑，让建筑物能像生命有机体那样对地震做出反应。当地面震动而导致建筑物顶部向前倾斜时，计算机将会迫使建筑物向相反方向移动。这种新的建筑设计能够使处于地震多发区的城市更为安全。这种新型的智能型建筑造价高昂。然而，它可以挽救许多人的生命，而且在地震中不大可能受到损害。1.选M)。此处应填名词，作介词of的宾语，作为后置定语修饰earthquake，说明该名词是“地震”的自然属性。选项中的名词有changes，safety，intensity和security，只有intensity可以表示地震的强度，故选M)。.选G)。此处应填副词，用来修饰形容词less。选项中的副词有relatively"相对的”和accordingly"相应的”,第一段说这次地震和1998年的那次地震程度一样，但造成的损失却小很多，再从后句中“高速路上的车辆不是很多”可以推断：这次的地震造成的“死伤人数”与1998年比少很多，即少是相对的，故选G)relatively。.选人）。空格中要填的词是本句话中的主语，应为名词。这句话的主干是havestrengthenedthecity,sbuildingsandhighways,从第三段的内容和注释3的解析可知：建筑结构发生了变化，故应选择A）changes。.选I）。此处应填形容词，和其前面的more构成形容词的比较级，描述新型建筑与地震有关的性能。them=thecity,sbuildingsandhighways,havestrengthened”被加固”说明他们更有抵御风险的能力了。选项中的四个形容词只有resistant符合这个意思，故选I）。.选B）。此处应填形容词，修饰名词materials。从后面的…bentwithoutbreaking"即使弯曲也不会折断”，说明是有韧性的材料。选项中的四个形容词只有flexible表示“柔韧的，可变形的"，故B）正确。.选F）。此处应填名词。根据上下文insertrubberandsteelbetweenthebuildinganditsfoundation"在建筑物和地基之间填充橡胶和钢材”是为了减少theimpactofgroundvibrations"地面震动对建筑物的影响”。选项中decrease和reduce都可以表示“减少”的意思，前者指稳定的逐步地减少，后者强调在大小、程度或强度方面下降或减少。故F）reduce更符合题意。.选D）。根据注释3,可以推知，这里要填的词是和前面的Inthepast,Laer相对应的，选项中的形容词中只有recent可表示时间，themostrecentdesighs"最近的设计”，在原文中可以对应“过去，后来”，故D）为正确答案。18.选K）。前面提到了智能建筑，这里说明当地震使这样的建筑向前倒的时候，电脑会怎样它，使它相反方向移动。在动词push和force之间悬着。push强调的是外加的力量，而这里的拖力者是与智能建筑一体的计算机系统，故这里force符合文意。.选N）。此后应填名词，做动词offer的宾语。本句前面一直在描述新型建筑采取的抗震措施，本句是这些措施的结果。抗震型建筑为城市提供的应该是更多的安全保障，选项中表示“安全”的词有safety和security，前者是处于安全状态，不受伤害，没有危险，多用于人身，货物。后者常指国家社会的免遭战争，灾难而安然无恙，故N）security更符合文意。.选J）。此处应填形容词。从后面的However后的一句说明智能建筑的优点而得知，However前所说的是智能建筑的缺点。既然智能建筑很聪明，又是新事物，那么建造起来肯定会耗费很多资金的，所以选J）expensive。导读：AftertheviolentearthquakethatshookLosAngelesin1994,earthquakescientistshadgoodnewstoreport:Thedamageanddeathtoll（死亡人数）couldhavebeenmuchworse.Morethan60peoplediedinthisearthquake.（Thedamageanddeathtollcouldhavebeenmuchworse.此句为虚拟语气，“地震所造成的伤亡和损失本来应该更大。”说明实际上这次地震的损失并不大。）Bycomparison,anearthquakeofsimilarM）intensitythatshookAmericain1998claimed25,000victims.（这句的主干是anearthquake…claimed…25,000victimso）InjuriesanddeathswereG）relativelylessinLosAngelesbecausethequakeoccurredat4:31a.m.Onaholiday,whentrafficwaslightonthecity,shighway.Inaddition,A）changesmadetotheconstructioncodesinLosAngelesduringthelast20yearshavestrengthenedthecity,sbuildingsandhighways,makingthemmoreI）resistanttoquakes.Inthepast,makingstructuresquake-resist-antmeantfirmyetB）flexiblematerials,suchassteelandwood,thatbendwithoutbreaking.Later,peopletriedtoliftabuildingoffitsfoundation,andinsertrubberandsteelbetweenthebuildinganditsfoundationtoF)reducetheimpactofgroundvibrations.ThemostD)recentdesignsgivebuildingsbrainsaswellasconcreteandsteelsupports,calledsmartbuildings,thestructuresrespondlikelivingorganismstoanearthquake,svibrations.Whengroundshakesandthebuildingtipsforward,thecomputerwouldK)forcethebuildingtoshiftintheoppositedirection.ThenewdesignsshouldofferevengreaterN)securitytocitieswhereearthquakesofentakeplace.(Inthepast…,Later…,Themost…designs,这里是一个世间顺序上的描述，说明了从以前到现在，建筑物的结构一直在不断变化。)ThenewsmartstructurescouldbeveryJ)expensivetobuild.However,theywouldsavemanylivesandwouldbelesslikelytobedamagedduringearthquakes.全文翻译：Passage3【全文翻译】理智购买是一种积极的方式，可以让你的钱更值钱。你购买一件物品或者一份服务的方式真的可以给你节省钱或者多花钱。以吹风机作一个简单的例子。如果你要买一个吹风机，当你选了一个外观你非常喜欢而且价格又是最便宜的，你一定认为你买了最好的东西。但是，当你把它买回家，你才发现它要花两倍于较贵的吹风机所花的时间来吹干你的头发。电费加上你的时间成本很可能使你的吹风机成为最贵的。当你外出购物时，你应该采取什么样的原则呢？如果你保持你的家、你的车，或者任何一件值钱的物品处于一种良好的状态中，从长远的眼光来看，你会省钱。在你买一个新的用品前，先与有这个物品的人交流一下。如果可能的话，你可以试试或者借来看看是否适合你的特殊要求。在购买一个贵重物品或者一项服务之前，要看好它的价格和功能。如果可能的话，一定要货比三家。.【解析】[B]save本文主要讲理智的购物可以省很多钱的问题。你购买一件物品或者一份服务的方式真的可以给你省钱或者让你多花钱，所以此处空格填save，节省。.【解析】[G]simple就拿吹风机作一个简单的例子。空格处用simple形容例子符合文章所表达的意思。.【解析】[C]best如果你要买一个吹风机，当你选了一个外观你非常喜欢而且价格又是最便宜的，你一定认为你买了最好的东西。makethebestbuy即是说买了最好的东西。.【解析】[I]in以怎样的价格用固定短语inprice。最便宜的价格就是thecheapestinprice。.【解析】[K]model意为''样式，型〃。当你把它买回家，你才发现它要花两倍于较贵的吹风机所花的时间来吹干你的头发。amoreexpensivemodel更贵的一款。.【解析】[N]adopt意为''采用〃。那么你外出购物时应该采用什么样的原则呢？adoptprinciples''采用原则〃，principles需要用adopt来搭配。.【解析】[A]possession意为''拥有物〃。如果你保持你的家、你的车，或者任何一件值钱的物品处于一种良好的状态中，从长远的眼光来看你会省钱。.【解析】［D］appliance意为''用品，器具〃。在你买一个新的用品之前，先与有这个物品的人交流一下。.【解析】［L］item在买一个贵的东西之前，要看好价格和正在出售的物品。item可用来指代物品。.【解析】［F］from这个空格前是动词choose，从中作出选择即用介词from来搭配。Passage4【全文翻译】毫无疑问，地球正变得越来越热。但是，真正的问题是：气候变暖的程度是我们的错，我们愿意通过控制我们对矿石燃料无止境的欲望来减缓地球变暖吗？全球气候变暖似乎离我们太遥远，以至于我们无需为此担心；或者太难以确定，我们无法用计算机技术来测定，同样的计算机技术往往难以正确地预报下周的天气情况。在一个阴冷的冬日，你可能会觉得，变暖几度无论如何也不是件糟糕的事情。毫无疑问，气候变化的警告听上去就像一个环保主义者的恐吓策略，迫使我们远离汽车，限制我们的生活方式。这些也许是安慰的想法。然而，不幸的是，地球给我们带来一些不安的消息。从阿拉斯加到安第斯山的雪峰，全球都在快速升温。上个世纪，全球温度上升了1华氏度，但是有些最冷、最偏远的地方却远不止如此。这些结果非常不妙。冰层正在融化，河流正在干枯，海岸正在受侵蚀，我们的社区正在受到威胁。很大程度上，这些正在发生的变化处于我们的视野之外。但是，他们不应该被忽视，因为他们预示着地球的其他地方将会发生什么样的情况。.【解析】［E］此处应填入E项，bewillingto为固定搭配。.【解析】［H］此处应填入一个名词，而appetite通常和介词for搭配，此处句子的意思为控制我们无止境的欲望。.【解析】［A］此处应填入一个形容词，根据上下文意思应选A项，意即：全球气候变暖似乎离我们太遥远，以至于我们无需为此担心。.【解析】［B］此处应填入一个名词，而与computer搭配的名词在选项中根据上下文意思B为正确选项。.【解析】［F］根据上下文意思此处应表达气候变化之意，因此F为正确选项。.【解析】［L］该题较为简单，表示''上个世纪全球的气温上升了1华氏度〃，应能迅速找出正确答案。.【解析］［I］显然ice与melt搭配，因此I为正确选项。.【解析】［K］此处应填入一个现在分词，表示''海岸受到侵蚀〃，因此应选K项。.【解析】［N］该题较为简单，应填入一个复数名词，所以填入N项。.【解析】［D］选D项，therestof为固定搭配。Passage5E空格处需填一形容词，即从E、J、L、M中选择。过去分词一般用于主语是人的句子，排除J；结合常理，忘性大常常令人懊恼，故E最符合文章。I根据定语从句谓语see可知，主语要么是人要么是眼镜，由下句theuse的提示，故选I。A该空需填入一个动词，即从备选项A、H中选择，有allowsb.todosth.的结构，且语义符合文意，故选A。F由上文的labelitems可推知F最符合文意。C该空需填入一个形容词，由下文的fillin可推知以空白的）最符合文意。D由该句中的相关信息词mechanics（机械师）和identifymachineparts可推知D最符合文意。J该空需填入一个形容词修饰名词device（设备），由常识可知工厂里的设备通常都很复杂，正因为复杂，不容易记住，才有必要使用这种新型眼镜，故J最符合文意。B该句主句的基本句子结构是Acarmechaniccouldfindwhereapartis，介词for和应填的词在句中作插入万分，结合选项，B最符合文意。H该空应填入动词原形，从词义上能排出A，H符合文意。G分析句子结构可知，该空应填入一个非谓语动词，结合句意''在其他情况下，人们可以戴着这种眼镜随团旅游，名胜景点…'可知，6（指示）最符合文意。Passage61.K2.D3.M4.J5.I6.L7.B8.C9.A10.FPassage71.Pphenomenon2.Bstrength3.Etropical4.Lbringing5.Kstarvation6.Jdestructive7.Nworth8.Aestimate9.Ostrike10.IcompletelyPassage8KOLENGICADPassage9E2.I3.F4.D5.J6.B7L8.H9.C10.GPassage10E2.C3.O4.F5.L6.I7.J8.G9.A
