70.____________(我们决不可以背离)one'sbetternature.

参考答案

1.web-mailweb-mail解析：由题干中的Theopeningofsocialnetwork和accelerate等定位在第十段首句Theopeningofsocialnetworksmaynowacceleratethankstothatoldernextbigthing，web-mall．此处需要填入名词作介词to的宾语。从原文可知，因为网络邮件的使用使得社会网络越来越开放。此处thatoldernextbigthing即指web-mail，故此处填入web-mail即可。

2.B解析：本题提问天然气的主要成分。题干中的theprincipalconstituentof与原文中的consistsprimarilyof属于同义转换，所以consistsprimarilyof后面的methaneandotherhydrocarbongases即是本题的答案所在，故本题答案为B。

3.B解析：倒数第二句提到作者的经历：今年泰国发生政治抗议时我正好在曼谷，但是如果你不去抗议发生的要害之地你根本不会知道有抗议这么回事。末句提到作者的看法：媒体让我们对世界上其他地方感到恐惧，而我们并没必要这样。由此可推断出，作者举自己在曼谷的例子是为了说明媒体总是误导观众，人们不应该害怕去世界其他地方参观，故答案为[B]。

4.A

5.C解析：主旨题。题文为“文中提到的所有动物中，猴子是最聪明的”。题干的中心是什么动物最聪明。文中提到的动物都各有聪明之处，但并没有进行比较。因此，本题答案为[NG]。

6.ecosystemvulnerabilityecosystemvulnerability解析：根据关键词mitigativeways参看小标题CopingwithClimateandLandscapeChange下面第二段第二句Mitigationstrategiescanreduceecosystemvulnerability．

7.Good-qualityGood-quality解析：答案依据为本文PaintStoresCanHelpWithcolorsandQuantifies标题下第五段中第二句话。

8.coalornaturalgascoalornaturalgas解析：在美国，电来自于煤和自然气的比例有多大?根据TechnologicalHurdles部分Wherewilltheelectricityfortheelectrolysisofwatercomefrom?可以发现Currently，about68percentoftheelectricityproducedintheUnitedStatescomesfromcoalornaturalgas．而about68percent表明大部分电都来源于煤和天然气。

9.buildtheirownbrandsbuildtheirownbrands解析：该段中前后两处提到Brightcove。第一处介绍的是Brightcove的老总对电视与互联网结合前景的评论。第二处，也就是最后一句中提到了Brightcove的业务：传媒公司主要对建立自有品牌有兴趣(aremainlyinterestedinbuildingtheirownbrands)，所以Brightcove就帮助他们解决视频上线、跟踪流量、收取广告费等问题。所以Brightcove是利用了传媒公司建立自有品牌的愿望来赚钱。题干中的wish对应原文中的beinterestedin结构。空前的不定式符号to表明所填词内容应以原形动词开头，故将原文中的building改为build。

10.theadaptivepowertheadaptivepower解析：本题的关键词是Themostimportantpartofbothfallacies，寻读到第5段，会发现辅助信息"blindness"，所以最后确定答案：theadaptivepower。

11.marriageisgoingoutoffashionmarriageisgoingoutoffashion解析：文章第二自然段第二句说明此点。随着更多的人同居，甚至养育非婚生的子女，婚姻正变得不再风行。

12.A解析：第11段最后1句可以看出。

13.whoidentifyasmultiracialormultiethnicwhoidentifyasmultiracialormultiethnic解析：文章最后一部分谈的“Regardlessoftherealdegreeofracialandethnicintermixingthatgoeson，thetestofablendedsocietywillbetheproportionofpeoplewhoidentifyasmultiracialormultiethnic．”一无论种族混融实际达到了什么程度，检验社会融合程度只能靠声明自己是多种民族归属的人的比例的判断。

14.nutritionandaerobicexercisenutritionandaerobicexercise解析：本题定位信息是Children和responsibility，从而锁定文章第八段第二句。该句中的them指的就是本段首句提到的childreninelementaryschools。因此，本题应填入nutritionandaerobicexercise。题干将原文中教育的对象children改写成了学习的主体，同时将谓语educate替换为teach。

15.8585解析：询问流感疫苗在老年人中减少了多少比例的死亡。答案在Vaccines部分最后一段最后一句。

16.B

17.C解析：原文该句表明三分之一的青少年认为cheating…isnecessarytosucceed，选项C是对此内容的同义替换，故为本题答案。

18.vibratingitswingsvibratingitswings解析：文章第八段钟提到，蚊子可以通过振动翅膀，发出嗡嗡声，排除外界的干扰，将信息传给150英尺以外的另一只蚊子。

19.morepassivemorepassive解析：在文章的最后一部分：“OnestudyreportedthatJapaneseworkersweremorepassivethancommonlythought，preferringtobepersuadedofthevalueofadecisionbytheirsupervisorovermakingthedecisionthemselves：”对于日本的研究还在继续。新近的研究表明日本人并不像人们以前认为的那样积极，他们更加倾向于相信上司的决策，而不是他们自己参与决策。

20.AnoilspillAnoilspill解析：本句讲oilspill对environment的害处，因此定位在ProblemswiththeFossilFuelEconomy处。矿物燃料经济有四大问题，再查找与environment相关的内容，即environmentalpollution处。根据Anoilspill,...cancreateahugemess．可知本句正确，ahugemess与abigproblem为同义转述。

21.D解析：4个选项都是省略to的不定式，计划行为题。答案在女士的这句话中“I'mgoingtobuythishookandseeifIcanfindanamelikethatinthelibrary”,言下之意，就是要做些研究，因此正确答案为DDosomeresearch。

22.A

23.A

24.D解析：对话中，女士请男士留下联系方式，男士说他的电话号码是560-1287，传真号码是560-1288，故本题答案为D。

25.orinimagingfutureworldswhichareareflectionoftheworldwhichweliveinnow.orinimagingfutureworldswhichareareflectionoftheworldwhichweliveinnow.

26.complaint

27.D解析：女士想快递包裹到旧金山，并询问购买邮票。男士给她邮票后要求她将包裹放到磅秤上称重量。可见对话应发生在邮局。

28.effort

29.D解析：女士谈到年老时进入政界及幕后帮助别人参选的想法，男士反问为什么自己不竞选，是不是害怕作为女性政治人物太显眼，由此推断女性政治家很少，故选D项。

30.challenge

31.A

32.A

33.B

34.industry

35.C解析：InEnvelopBuilding，whatisdonewiththelandscapefeaturesofabuildingsight?

36.imageimage解析：空所在句的下句提到，给考官留下的印象(theimpressionmade)，由此可推断所填词很可能与impression同义。

37.A解析：从听力材料中第三段末尾可以直接听到答案：“It(suiciderate)isfiftypercenthigheramongnon-studentsofthesameage．”

38.passionpassion解析：空前的current和空后的for表明，本空应填一名词，且该名词能与for搭配使用。再根据本句的谓语动词produces可知，本空应填一单数名词或不可数名词。

39.C解析：细节推断题。本题的重点是男士的回答。女士不知道是买新车还是二手车好，男士说从长远的利益出发(inthelongrun)，买新车可能会省钱，由此可以判断男士建议女士买辆新车。其他选项：A从长远的利益出发，应该把钱存上；B买一辆旧车；D买一辆二手车。

40.B解析：W:DidyougotoProfessorJin'slectureyesterday?Ididn'tbecauseofaheadache.

M:Yes.ButitsoundedallGreektome.

Q:What,dowelearnfromtheconversation?

41.C解析：文章基调(作者态度)题。作者既陈述了变革给女性带来的机会，也写到她们由此不得不做出的牺牲。因此，作者客观地提供信息，文章基调是客观的。故正确答案为C项。

42.C解析：细节题。根据文章第二段中的TheyfallbehindourWesternlanguagesnotintheirsoundpatternsorgrammaticalstructures，whichusuallyarefullyadequateforalllanguageneeds,butonlyintheirvocabularies(未开花民族的语言只是在词汇方面落后于西方语言，在他们的发音方式、语法结构方面都发展得足够适应所有语言的需要。)作出选择。所以选项C正确。

43.D解析：最后一段作者一直在用批判的语气描写shareholders。

44.B解析：文章第三段第二句提到，Itspurposeistomakeouthowmuchofafamily'sincomeistrulydiscretionary，而Its中的it是指上句提到的thefederalneedanalysis，由此可知B正确。

45.B解析：题干中的thefutureofwork出现在文章第二段。该段中用一组排比句指出了很多其他的工作可能性，比如为自己工作等等，由此可推断出被雇佣并不是唯一的工作方式，所以选B。选项A“建造更多的工厂来提高生产率”、选项C“建立一些小型的私有企业以便于雇佣更多的人”，选项D“准备着在家培养一些兴趣爱好来消磨时间”都是对这组排比句所表达意思的过度引申或误解，并非文章旨在说明的问题。

46.A解析：原文第三段说明美国早已成为旅游胜地，1994年不同于往年，其原因是世界杯吸引了大批游客，美元下跌使在美国购物便宜到了极点，这更吸引了大量的游客。而这一观点恰好与选项A相一致。这句话中的动词saw的意思是“目睹了”之意。故本题的正确答案是A。

47.C解析：文中指出，孩子们缺乏关爱，而电视节目却"isnosubstituteforadevotedgrandmother"，即不能提供关心爱护这一情感需求，因此选C项。

48.C解析：观点态度题。四个选项的意思分别为：A(不切实际的)、B(传统的)、C(关心的)、D(歇斯底里的)。通读全文可知，作者以较客观的口吻阐述了噪音对健康的影响，并对此表示关注，所以C正确。

49.B解析：推理判断题。第四段主要说明促进棕色脂肪活性的方法以及其他一些研究结果。根据第二句，研究证实在寒冷的环境里，棕色脂肪细胞会变得更活跃，而北极非常寒冷，因此人们理所当然也认为如果去北极的话，体内的棕色脂肪会变得很活跃，可能更有助于减肥，故B)为正确答案。

50.C解析：语义理解题。理解本句要看前面一句的内容。电视演讲者由于没有足够的时间，所以往往无法进行论证，而只是提出观点，故选项C正确。

51.A解析：推断题。文章第五段第二句提到，低效串用水表现在有些缺水国不愿将发展重点从农业转移到耗水较少的产业上，由此推断，有效用水的方法之一就是发展用水少的产业，所以A正确。

52.D
