参考答案

1.B解析：原文该句中的He指的是该段提到thecomputerscientistVernorVinge，本题应选B。注意选项A提到的数学学家提出的是intelligenceexplosion。

2.B

3.reducetheriskofinjuryreducetheriskofinjury解析：可以在第十三段第三句话中找到该答案：“…youcanstaystrongandflexibleandreducetheriskofinjury．”。

4.40percent40percent解析：参见第2个小标题B.GlobalWarming下的第3段：Alreadyscientistshavedetecteda40percentreductionintheaveragethicknessofArcticice．由此可知，北极圈的冰的平均厚度现在已经减少了40%。

5.B解析：该句提到，曾为诸多歌星如南方小鸡乐团(DixieChicks)和金属乐队(Metallica)制作过专辑的制作人Rubin担心Auto-Tune的保护网会使歌手们变得懒惰。由此可推断出，Rubin认为Auto-Tune会对歌星产生消极影响，故答案为[B]。

6.B解析：标题CommunityInvolvement第一段最后一句话中的obsess一词意思为“困扰”，可以看出Perez并不愿意从事家务劳动。另外根据该标题中第二段也可得出此结论。

7.bargaining/negotiatingbargaining/negotiating解析：本文从头至尾的字里行间里都谈到这位外籍教师如何“讨价还价”。其中最为集中的讲述在第四段里。其中说到：“Iwasdoingthisfor125yuanperhourwhenIfoundoutthathereinChengdu．175yuanperhouristhenorm．Startat200andletthembargainyoudownto175”。在这里，本文作者介绍了他讨价还价的技巧。

8.B

9.kineticenergykineticenergy解析：本题考查水力发电的原始能源，也就是转化为电力的能源。该段首句提到，Hydroelectricplantsconvertthekineticenergywithinfallingwaterintoelectricity，即水利发电站把水流落下产生的动能转换成电能，其中waterobeysthelawsofgravity对应fallingwater，故答案为kineticenergy。

10.B解析：题干问最容易出现压力的情况，小标题RiskFactors下第一部分说的是最可能与压力和负面的身体影响相关的情况(aremostlikelytobeassociatedwithstress…)，正可以回答题干的问题。原文中一共列举了三种情况，第二种情况是车祸等突发事件后持续的激烈反应，[B]项中的描述与此符合。[D]项所描述的是人们对压力反应不同的原因，不是压力的来源，故排除。

11.A

12.suicidesuicide解析：答案依据为本文SymptomsofDepressionandMania标题下段落。

13.theEICgovernorofMadrastheEICgovernorofMadras解析：此处要求填入名词性词组与as搭配。原文说，相对于其他与公司发生冲突的人的命运来说，马德拉斯市长一职被撤算是轻的判决了。题干中ElihuYale和workedforEICas分别与原句His和post对应。因此原句中与工作相关的短语theEICgovernorofMadras符合题干需要，即为答案。

14.B解析：本题定位信息是Oldpeople和eatinghabits，涉及到了老年人的饮食习惯，从而锁定文章第九段。该段首句表明，改变饮食习惯对老年人也是有好处的。紧接着的Itisnevertoolatetochange再次明确了老人改变饮食习惯的必要性。题干中的shouldn'tbotherto与文章陈述不符，故答案为N。

15.acushionofairacushionofair解析：第1个小标题ElectromagneticSuspension(EMS)部分的最后一段第1、2句：Maglevtrainsfloatonacushionofair,eliminatingfriction．Thislackoffrictionandthetrainsaerodynamicdeignsallowthesetrainstoreachunprecedentedgroundtransportationspeedsofmorethan310mph(500kph)…空白处需要名词性成分。题目中的runextremelyfast概括了原文中第2句allow的宾语补足语的内容，而第2句中allow的主语则是

16.NGNG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。

17.handleherdebthandleherdebt解析：根据题干中的信息词Merit和public-interestattorney定位到最后一个小标题下的倒数第二段，可知Merit想当公益律师，但她可能得推迟这一打算，因为为了应付她的债务，她很可能需要一开始做—份报酬更高的法律工作。

18.B解析：本题考查低水头水力发电站的缺点，故将答案出处定位到第七段。该段介绍了低水头水力发电的工作过程，末句的Unfortunately引出其缺点：theirelectricityproductioncapacityfluctuateswithseasonalwaterflowinariver，即其缺点是发电量要随着季节性的水流而波动，其中fluctuate意为“波动，涨落”，故B项为答案。

19.theirpriority

20.tradeandagriculture。tradeandagriculture。解析：根据题干中的信息词melting和newopportunities定位到最后一个小标题下的第一段，可知对于生活在该地区的人而言，冰川融化带来的既有好消息，也有坏消息，坏消息是他们现有的生活方式和主食将会改变，而好消息就是融化后更为开阔的海洋将给他们带来贸易和农业的新机会，由此可得答案。

21.C解析：根据第19题对选项的分析可知，此对话可能与旅行有关，而D却与此没有多大联系，故可首先排除。再根据对话中男士提到的Actuallytheworstisalreadyover…hundredcalories和butI'mmakingupfor．．．don'tgettoeatanysnacksafterdinner可知，男士不喜欢控制自己的食量。

22.energeticenergetic解析：空前的and表明，本空应填一与happy,relaxed一样表积极意义的形容词。

23.industry

24.HewrotesuchfamouswaltzesasTalesfromtheViennaWoodsandTheBeautifulBlueDamubeHewrotesuchfamouswaltzesasTalesfromtheViennaWoodsandTheBeautifulBlueDamube

25.A解析：信息明示题。文章第一段指出，美国队和日本队的比赛就要进入下半场，比分是51比26，所以A正确。

26.C

27.C解析：选项均以-ing形式开头，且宾语各不相同表明，本题可能考查涉及到短文主题的正在进行的动作。短文开头即提到，Yourassignmentsthistermwillbetowritetwomajorresearchpapers，故答案为[C]。

28.displays

29.B解析：综合推断题。男士说自己同意女士在昨天会议上的建议，女土说男士应该在她需要的时候支持她，由此推断，女士的意思是说男士现在的支持已经毫无意义了，故选B。

30.B

31.theincreasemayworsendroughtconditionsasmoremountainglaciersandsnowpacksvanishnolongersendingwatertothevalleysbelowtheincreasemayworsendroughtconditionsasmoremountainglaciersandsnowpacksvanish，nolongersendingwatertothevalleysbelow

32.B解析：信息明示题。由文中第三段划线部分可知，一个养蜂人将蜂后找出并带走了蜂群，解决了困扰这个司机的问题，所以B正确。

33.A解析：M：Look，I'msorryIdidn'tturnupforthematchyesterday，butitwasn'treallymyfault，youknow．

W：It'sallverywellsayingitwasn'tyourfault，butthankstoyouwelost10to1.

Q：Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation?

四个选项的主语都是Thewoman，可推测本题考查对话中女士的话语。

男士表示很抱歉没有参加昨天的比赛，但辩解说可这也不是他的错。女士使用but表达了她的态度：“不是你的错!说的倒是很轻松，可正因为你我们10:1输了！”也就是说女士在责备男士在昨天的比赛中没有露面。所以A)为正确答案。

34.C解析：男声抱怨居然还是三月份就买不到暑假的机票了。女声劝他别担心，总会有人退票的。因此选C。

35.fundamentalfundamental解析：修饰关系题。根据前面的more可知此处应该表示比较关系。结合录音，不难填入fundamental一词。

36.A

37.D解析：Whatistheconversationmainlyabout?

从听力对话中我们可知女士向男士介绍一种能使发动机运转更有效率的方法(awaytomaketheirenginesmoreefficient)。听力材料中前半部分提到的女士选择坐公共汽车以及环境污染问题实际都是在为本文介绍coniineoxide这种提高发动机效率的方法作铺垫。

38.A解析：Todd和Lisa结婚两年了还没有孩子，这是因为Todd打算拿到法律学位之后再要孩子(they'dpostponehavingchildrenuntilhegetshislawdegree)，可见他们俩目前不打算要孩子。故正确答案为A项。

39.disproportionatedisproportionate解析：空中应填一形容词。disproportionate意为“不合乎比例的”，修饰emphasisonexaminations，指考试所引发的过大压力。proportion“比例”变形容词时后加-ate，再变否定形式时要加前缀dis-。

40.experiencedexperienced解析：空前的主语表明此处应填一动词作谓语，且为过去式。此处是说“甚至当黑人自由后，他们仍然在就业、住房和教育方面受到歧视。”

41.uniqueunique解析：参见第2段第2句，其大意是：独特的生长环境使阳澄湖大闸蟹名扬四方：富含铁的土壤使蟹爪呈现出淡黄色，硬质地层的湖底使螃蟹腿部肌肉强健，充满阳光的浅水据称更加使螃蟹长得健壮。

42.environmentalproblemsarcasortofnecessaryevil(or:someunavoidableharmfuleffectsthatcomealongsidewitheconomicgrowth)environmentalproblemsarcasortofnecessaryevil(or:someunavoidableharmfuleffectsthatcomealongsidewitheconomicgrowth)

43.B解析：细节题。我们可以从文章的第一、二两句话中找到题材干的内容。A选项在文章中没有提到，B选项是正确的，"Humanismoriginatedinthestudyofclassicalculture"C，D两个选项都曲解了原文的意思，原文中提出经院哲学和人文主义只是为了陈述一个事实，把当时的情况说清楚。所以这一题的正确答案是B。
