参考答案

1.A解析：根据题干信息词thepesticideDDT定位到第二个小标题下的第二段。即：杀虫剂DDT会伤害野生动植物并且能影响人类的神经系统，但对预防疟疾是很有效的(beeffectiveagainstmalaria)，故选A。

2.B

3.theenergycrises

4.A解析：根据题干中的信息词statesupport和shrinking定位到第二个小标题下的第一段，可知大学强调自己涨学费是为了支付前沿科技、教职管理人员的工资和医疗保健等费用，而现在政府因预算吃紧，对大学的扶持也在缩减。由此可知，该句表述正确。

5.YY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。

6.CharlesVestCharlesVest解析：根据本题关键词MassachusettsInstitute和President，寻读原文，对应文中标题：HOTTESTARCHITECTURE—MassachusettsInstituteofTechnology,Cambridge，Mass．，答案不难得出：CharlesVest。

7.realisticdeadline

8.a"BuyItNow"optiona"BuyItNow"option解析：由题干关键词placeanearlybid可将答案定位至最后一段第一句。Thereisatleastonereasonwhysomeonewouldplaceabidveryearlyintheauction：toremovea"BuyItNOW"option.，据此，空格里可填入a"BuyItNow"option。

9.A解析：根据题干信息词WorldHealthOrganization定位到原文第三段。即：世界卫生组织公布，全世界每年有3百万人死于室外空气污染，故选A。

10.A解析：同义转述题。原文中的non-swimmer指的是以前从没有游过泳的人，也就是A中的beginner“初学者”。

11.hearingthelectureshearingthelectures解析：由题眼定位到theSocialStudier部分，第六段第三句Inschool，youremembermoreform.hearingthelecturesthanfromdoingthereading．(在学校，你通过听讲座比读讲义记得要多。)由此可判断，对于社交学习者而言，通过听讲座比通过读要学得好。

12.balanced/inadelicatebalance

13.thewillingnesstotrynewtechniquesthewillingnesstotrynewtechniques解析：由“ImprovementofReadingRate”部分第三段中的“Therearethreemainfactorsinvolvedinimprovingreadingspeed；(1)thedesiretoimprove，(2)thewillingnesstotrynewtechniquesand(3)themotivationtopractice．”可知要提高阅读速度，阅读者必须有提高阅读的愿望，愿意尝试新的技巧并且有进行训练的动机。故本题的正确答案为“thewillingnesstotrynewtechniques”。

14.B解析：由题干关键词bodiesreacttostress可以定位到第一个小标题下第二段第三句。Ourbodiesrespondtothisstressthewayourancestors'bodiesdid(我们身体对压力的应对方式与我们的祖先身体反应的方式一样。)题干中指出我们现代人与我们祖先应对压力的方式是不一样的，与文意不符。

15.auniquepatternofqualitiesandabilities

16.B解析：文中第一段就介绍了Washington，D.C.的地理位置，人们可能仅从其名字就判定它是在华盛顿州，其实不然，华盛顿是在哥伦比亚地区。因此Washington，D.C.被叫做这个名字不是因为它位于华盛顿州。

17.e-waste/wastageofthe"old"products/obsoleteelectronicgoodse-waste/wastageofthe"old"products/obsoleteelectronicgoods解析：参看第二
