Passage53

【答案与解析】打嗝是很常见的生理现象。本文向我们讲述了这样一个小故事：哈利从某一个周日开

始打嗝，日夜不停地持续了两个星期。父母将他送到医院，大夫花了•个星期的时间才将其治愈。短文最

后说，哈利是幸运的，因为世界记录保持者，查利斯打嗝时间长达六十八年，并且最终也没有查明他打嗝

的原因。

1.选B。由文中第二段"HishiccupsbeganoneSundaylunchtimeandcontinueddayandnightfortwo

weeks."•句可知Hishiccupslastedfourteendays.

2.选C。标题下的那句话对此题有很大的启示作用。亨利是因为吃了Indianfood才开始打嗝的。

3.选D。去医院的原因应该是不停地打嗝，其它选项提供的理由不充分，也不全面。

4.选A。亨利服药一周后痊愈，其它方法均无效。

5.选A。可用“惊吓”治疗打嗝。文「I1提到"Myfathereventriedtogivemeashockbutthatdidn'twork

either.M

Passage54

【答案与解析】这篇短文主要介绍了在欧美国家新兴的一种购物方式---电视购物。由于不出家门就能

购买自己所需的东西，还能缓解城市的交通压力，所以这种购物方式深得一些人的喜爱。不过，一些欧美

人士并不喜欢这种购物方式，他们担心商品的质量是否有保证。为了确保售出商品的质量，欧洲电视购物

公司将更加认真、努力地工作。

1.Bo"Nowtele-shoppingisstartinginEurope.n,由starting一词显然可知答案为B。

2.Co看了电视，然后打个电话就能购买白己所需要的东西，显然是容易多了。故答案要选C。

3.Do答案的出处是“ManyEuropeansusuallyworryaboutthequality（质量）ofthethingsforsaleon

TV.”一句。

4.Ao"Germanbusinessesarehopingthisnewteleshoppingwillhelpthemsellmorethings.由此

不难看出这些商人通过电子购物可能会发更大的财。

5.C。该文从美国的电子购物写起，详细介绍了欧洲几个国家开展电子购物的情况。所以正确答案为Co

Passage55

【答案与解析】当今，人们的生活水平提高了，但现代生活带来的污染问题却困扰着人们：水污染影

响鱼类和人类的饮水质量；噪音污染让人易怒；空气污染是最为严重的。许多国家和政府制定了防止污染

的法律和法规，但这还远远不够。更为重要的是，人人都应当参与到这场抗击污染的战役中来。

1.Co人们在一百多年前既没有现代化的药品，也没有现代化的机器。所以答案是C。

2.Do本题属表层理解题。“Oneofthebiggestispollution.”即是答案的出处。

3.B..本题同样是表层理解题。第二段的最后一句就是答案之所在。

4.Do答案在“Factoriesmustnowcleantheirwaterbeforeitisthrownaway…”中。

5.Do综合考虑全文及“Rulesarenotenough.Everypersonmusthelptofightpollution.”的意思，可

知答案非D莫属。

Passage56

【答案与解析】全文共三段，第一段说的是盖房要花很多钱，首先得确定好房子的位置：向阳，地理

环境优美，交通购物方便而且离自己的亲朋和工作地点距离都近；第二段说的是选择优秀的建筑工人，设

计方案，绘出草图，做好预算以及如何处理施工时可能出现的变化与预算的关系：第三段讲的是建筑工所

作的预算和真正施工时所发生的变更及盖房方案与预算之间的关系。虽然全文中没有明确的主题句，但通

过对上述三段文字的分析，不难看出它们讲的都围绕着•个主题：设计•幢房子。

1.Co本小题检测的是对整篇短文中心思想的理解能力。A项讲的是“盖一憧房子要花很多钱”，这是

本文的第一句话，但它只讲了上述三段的盖房子要花很多钱这一项内容，所以其概括不准确。B项是说“预

算是重要的”，同样犯了以偏概全的毛病。D项讲的是保靠建筑工”，这与短文内容是相矛盾的，故此三者

皆否定之。

2.B.短文首段的第三句话："Yourfirststepwillbetofindarightpieceofland."（你的第一步就是选好

一块合适的地）。此句正是该题答案的出处。

3.A.解答该小题的重点是要理解好“drawaplan”这个短语中的关键词plan。plan在本短文中反复出现

了八次，第一次出现以动词形式出现，其他七次都是名词。作名词用时其常见用法有二：计划、方案：平

面图，纸张。plan在与draw连用时，就表明：画一张建筑物的平面图。B项和C项都是把plan理解为“计

戈『'或"方案”了，而D项则理解成“把一张图画从屋里找出来”，这是无稽之谈。由此答案非A莫属。

4.C«本题属细节考查题。考查的是在盖房的施工中，最初的预算必须更正与修改的原因。短文第二

段的倒数一、二句就有相对应的部分；随后，当他开始施工时，此预算必须更改与修正。他的预算的根据

是当时价格，而建筑材料与其他东西的价格在制定预算和开始施工这•阶段很可能会有变化。A项说的是"

预算经常被施工者算错"，在短文中没有依据：B项的“未来的房主认为预算太高他支付不起”在短文中也没

有依据，D项的“在开始时预算往往是错的”与A项的错误如出一辙。

5.D.本小题考查的仍是对短文个别段落和中心意思的理解能力。短文第三段集中讲的就是和建房方

案之间的关系。A项只说出了建房方案对预算的依赖关系；B项只说出预算对建房方案的依赖关系，而忽

略它们相互作用的一面，因此都是片面的。而C项说的是建房方案与预算毫不相干，这与短文交代的事实

背道而驰，故予以排除。

Passage57

【答案与解析】很多人在快乐的假日里禁不住美味佳肴的诱惑，因此他们担心在此期间自己的体重会

增加。本文片出了一系列的合理化建议，对你可能会很有帮助。

1.A.表示转折关系的"Butmanypeopleareworriedabouttheweightthatcomeswiththesedelicious

foods.”这句话是解题之关键。

2.Bo答案在第三段的第一句0Withproper（合适的）planning,itispossibletocontrolyourweight."中。

3.D。最后一段即是木题答案之所在。

4.A."Thismayhelpyoutokeepyoufromgettingtooexcitedbeforethedeliciousfoods.”根据本句，

可推知有些人是禁不住美食佳肴的诱惑。

5.Bo由“Ifyouhaveasweettooth,try
