参考答案

1.C解析：第三、四段。作者用事实说明水的沸腾。如，水的颜色和气味等。选项C是正确的。

2.C解析：依据在第二段中，比较隐蔽，根据“Homosapiensisthoughttohavearrivedintheislandabout4000yearsago,muchtoolatetoberesponsibleforthetools.”可知答案为C项。也可以用排除法，A、B、D三项与文章内容矛盾。

3.D

4.C根据对全文内容的把握，可以知道，宇航员在太空的生活不容易，所以他们必须学会许多新的与在陆地上生活不同的事情。

5.B

6.B解析：这是一道细节题，由句子“In1905，theNationalAudubonSocietywasformedbypeoplewhowerealsointerestedinbirdsandwantedtocontinueAudubon'snaturestudies．”可知答案。

7.D

8.A解析：本题属推理分析题。文章第二段最后两句已提示：twoorchardworkers在两天内干完的事，等于onehundredworkers14天内干完的事。

9.B解析：见原文第三段。

10.C

11.D本文讲的是许多日本火车站启用蓝色的灯以减少卧轨自杀人数。第一段提到，蓝色可以创造平静的氛围，想自杀的人会在这种气氛中平静下来，所以采用蓝色。

12.B解析：参见最后一段。

13.A解析：在第六段，Cusick说，马戏团在雇用他时就已经知道他是艾滋病病毒携带者，因此在他花费长时间的准备之后，又没有让他登台演出就解雇他是不公平的。

14.B解析：第5段结尾点明题意。

15.B解析：第4段末尾讲旧的共享的读写文化已不存在，又提到specializedreadership，说明读者兴趣不同，故选B。

16.C参见文章第一自然段，因为每学期有4至5门课程，每门课至少有3至4节课，所以，一个学生至少每星期要上12节课。

17.B此题是对细节信息和词汇知识的考查。其中．关键词是gameofchess．．invented。了解试题和各选项中的关键词后，迅速略读文章，找出线索。第1段第1句提供了相关信息，

AnoldIndianstory．．．gameofchessinventedby．．．PrimeMinisterofKingShirham。然后用排除法将与之无关的A、C、D项排除。唯有B项中ancient与文中old意思接近，Indianofficial与Indian．．．

PrimeMinister意思接近，故B项是正确答案。

18.C

19.D解析：本题问为什么每年为数众多的人来到庞贝古城。从第一段的TheyseethesightsthatPompeiiisfamousfor—itsstadiumandtheatres，itsshopsandrestaurants．Thetouristsdonot，however，seePompeii'speople.TheydonotseethembecausePompeiihasnopeople．NoonehaslivedinPompeiiforalmost2000years．可以得知人们来庞贝古城参观体育场、剧院、商店和餐馆。但是庞贝古城大约2000年来都没有人居住，所以人们来看的是古建筑，而不是来看戏或购物等。A、B、C三个选项均可排除。第四段中提到保留下来的街道和喷泉，剧院和商店。接下来又说Perhapsthemostimportantofall，therewereeverydayobjects，whichtellsusagreatdealaboutthepeoplewholivedinPompeii．这些日常生活用品包括酒具、面包烤盘、眼部化妆品等。人们从中可以了解当时庞贝城的居民的生活情况。

20.D

21.A文中第一段第五句“Beforethedawnofthetwentiethcentury．．．”表明是在二十世纪之前发生的。

22.A解析：参见第三段。

23.D

24.D本题是对词汇知识的考查。文章第5句中．．．cantakeholdofthingswitheitherofhands与选项D意思一致。

25.C解析：根据文章第二段可知，现代货币系统是电子的，快捷便利，具有相当的规模，不受地域的限制等，可知C选项不正确，故选C项。

26.D根据上下文，工人阶层的工作性质是被管理并且是遵守规则的。那么，其规则肯定是明确的。D项是正确的。

27.C解析：从第二段中倒数第二句话Thehabitmaybestrong,butitmaybecured可以判断出人们可以改变不幸福的习惯。

28.B解析：本段第一句为主题句，理解“goingalongwaytoward”是解题的关键。

29.C解析：通读原文，依次排除。

30.D解析：本题属细节信息考查题
