第1题【单选题】Iftheywantto_____,that’sfinewithme.A、integrateB、sustainC、pressureD、license【正确答案】A【答案解析】integrate求积分；取消隔离；成为一体。第2题【单选题】Facinggrowingcostsandshrinkingtax________,thegovernmentisnowthreateningtocutfundingforenvironmentalprotectionprograms.A、budgetB、collectionC、profitD、revenue【正确答案】D【答案解析】revenue“收入，税收”，尤指国家的岁入。根据题意，正确答案应为D。第3题【单选题】TheywillgetthepreparationdoneearlyinMay.A、他们五月初就能让别人准备完工作。B、他们五月初就能准备好工作。C、他们早在五月份就能把准备工作做完。D、他们五月初就能把准备工作做完。【正确答案】D【答案解析】答案选D。首先需要注意earlyinMay表示“五月初”的意思，选项A“让别人准备完”这种表达是不准确的；此外getthepreparationdone表示的是“把准备工作做完”，选项B的表达不是很准确。第4题【单选题】Scarcelylessimportantthanmachineryintheagriculturalrevolutionwasscience．A、在农业革命中，科学没有机械重要。B、在农业革命中，机械没有科学重要。C、在农业革命中，科学和机械几乎同等重要。D、在农业革命中，机械和科学都不怎么重要。【正确答案】C【答案解析】答案选C。本句考查程度副词的翻译。本句的翻译重点是Scarcelylessimportant，scarcely是程度副词，意思是“几乎不，简直没有’’。它本身带有否定的意思。lessimportant意思是“不如……重要”，而加scarcely之后，双重否定表示肯定，意思是两者是差不多同样重要的，所以应该选C。第5题【单选题】DemandsforstrongerprotectionforwildlifeinBritainsometimeshidethefactthatsimilarneedsarefeltintherestofEurope.StudiesbytheCouncilofEurope,ofwhich21countiesaremembers,haveshownthat45percentofreptile（爬行类的）speciesand24percentofbutterfliesareindangerofdyingout.RecentstudiesbythecouncilofEuropehaveindicatedthat______.A、wildlifeneedsmoreprotectiononlyinBritain.B、allspeciesofwildlifeinEuropeareindangerofdyingout.C、therearefewerspeciesofreptilesandbutterfliesinEuropethanelsewhere.D、manyspeciesofreptilesanbutterfliesinEuropeneedprotecting.【正确答案】D【答案解析】答案选D。本段的第二个句子是这么说的：有21个国家组成的欧洲委员会的研究表明，45%的爬行动物和24%的蝴蝶濒临灭绝。由此可见，D是正确的答案。第6题【单选题】OnaSeptemberdayin1991,twoGermanswereclimbingthemountainsbetweenAustriaandItaly．Highuponamountainpass，theyfoundthebodyofamanlyingontheice.Atthatheight(10,499feet，or3,200meters)，theiceisusuallypermanent，but1991hadbeenanespeciallywarmyear．Themountainicehadmeltedmorethanusualandsothebodyhadcometothesurface．Itwaslyingfacedownward.Theskeleton(骨架)wasinperfectcondition,exceptforawoundinthehead.Therewasstillskinonthebonesandtheremainsofsomeclothes．Thehandswerestillholdingthewoodenhandleofanaxandonthefeettherewereverysimpleleatherandclothboots．Nearbywasapairofglovesmadeoftreebark(树皮)andaholderforarrows．Whatcanbeinferredfromparagraph2?A、TheIcemanlivedapoorlife．B、TheIcemancouldhavediedfromthewoundinthehead．C、TheIcemanwasstruckdeadfrombehind．D、TheIcemanwaskilledwhileworking.【正确答案】B【答案解析】推理判断的答案不会偏离主题，但答案在文章中肯定没有。长选项可以作为答案的参考。第7题【单选题】Fatherhadnomorethana[superficial]knowledgeofmusic.A、widespreadB、shallowC、reluctantD、subsequent【正确答案】B【答案解析】[superficial]表面的；肤浅的；shallow浅的；肤浅的。第8题【单选题】Theyoungmanspentasmuchtimeashe______overhislessons.A、wentB、cangoC、couldgoingD、couldtogo【正确答案】C【答案解析】此题除考查理解句子结构的能力外，还考查了动词短语spendsometime(in)doingsth.的用法，所以答案为C。第9题【单选题】Criticsalsoarguethatcommercialgenetictestingisonlyasgoodasthereferencecollectionstowhichasampleiscompared.Databasesusedbysomecompaniesdon’trelyondatacollectedsystematicallybutratherlumptogetherinformationfromdifferentresearchprojects.ThismeansthataDNAdatabasemaydifferdependingonthecompanythatprocessestheresults.Inaddition,thecomputerprogramsacompanyusestoestimaterelationshipsmaybepatentedandnotsubjecttopeerrevieworoutsideevaluation.Inthelastparagraph,aproblemcommercialgenetictestingfacesis________.A、disorganizeddatacollectionB、overlappingdatabasebuildingC、excessivesamplecomparisionD、lackofpatentevaluation【正确答案】A【答案解析】答案选A。事实细节题。本题提问商业基因测试所面临的一个问题是什么？文章尾段明确描述了在商业基因测试中面临的问题在于：“一个DNA的数据库会随着公司的不同而不同，而不同的公司正是用不同的数据库信息来得出检测结果”。选项A提出“disorganizeddatacollection”符合原文，为正确答案。选项B中“overlapping”是指信息的重叠，文中并没有提到。第10题【单选题】Theserulesdon'talways______.A、appliesB、applyC、applyingD、applied【正确答案】B【答案解析】题目意思：这些规则并非总能行得通。本题用apply原形，答案选B。第11题【单选题】Thetall,well-dressedgentlemanstandingbeforemewascertainlyafarcryfromtheoldseawolfofmyimagination.A、站在我面前的这位身材高大、衣着讲究的先生，当然是像我想象中的老海狼发出的一声遥远的呼唤了。B、一位身材高大、衣着讲究的先生站在我面前，发出的一声遥远的呼唤，像我想象中的老海狼。C、站在我面前的是一位身材高大、衣着讲究的先生，与我先前想象的老海怪完全不同。D、站在我面前的是一位身材高大、衣着讲究的先生，与我想象中的老海怪一样发出了长长的叫声。【正确答案】C【答案解析】“standingbeforeme”是现在分词短语，作定语，修辞“gentleman”，译成汉语可放在句首。“afarcryfromsth/doingsth”是习语，意思是：averydifferentexperiencefromsth/doingsth与某事物[做某事物]大不相同。“wolf”是狼的意思，“seawolf”在这里是指海员，海员因长期在海上航行，在常人眼里有点怪异，译作“海怪”比较贴切。第12题【单选题】Iwouldclassmygardenas[medium]insize.A、单调的B、中等的C、温暖的D、使命【正确答案】B【答案解析】[medium]adj.中间的，中等的；半生熟的。第13题【单选题】ThepotatoisalsofromtheNewWorld.Around1600,theSpanishbroughtitfromPerutoEurope,whereitsoonwaswidelygrown.IrelandbecamesodependentonitthatthousandsofIrishpeoplestarvedwhenthecropfailedduringthe"PotatoFamine（饥荒）"of1845~1846,andthousandsmorewereforcedtoleavetheirhomelandandmovetoAmerica.ThousandsofIrishpeoplestarvedduringthe"PotatoFamine"because______.A、theyweresodependentonpotatoesthattheyrefusedtoeatanythingelseB、theywereforcedtoleavetheirhomelandandmovetoAmericaC、theweatherconditionsinIrelandwerenotsuitableforgrowingpotatoesD、thepotatoharvestwasbad【正确答案】D【答案解析】本段提到，土豆传到欧洲后被广泛种植。爱尔兰人对土豆非常依靠。在“土豆饥荒”时期，土豆减产（whenthecropfailed），因而人们遭受饥饿，被迫离开故土。第14题【单选题】DuringthesepastfewyearsIusedAssociatedContenttotrywriting.Ifoundwritingforthatsitewasnotmycupoftea.However,myexperiencetherewaspositiveas

通过，故排除A项“在美国历史上没有先例”；B项“现有的《家庭与医疗休假法》”，并非主要原因；文中提到民主党领导人支持工作与家庭的平衡措施的实施，只是遭到了来自商业团体的反对，故排除D项“民主党的无能”。第47题【单选题】Thistelevisionprogramprovokedaspirited[debate]intheUnitedKingdom.A、disputeB、issueC、lumpD、prejudice【正确答案】A【答案解析】[debate]辩论；辩论会；dispute辩论；争吵。第48题【单选题】Thisthesisledtoa[radical]changeoflaborpolicies.A、temporaryB、terminateC、essentialD、reserve【正确答案】C【答案解析】[radical]根本的；essential基本的；本质的。第49题【单选题】Ifoundinmybaby’sbehaviourametaphorforthenewgeneration.MywifeandIhadgivenhimsomebookstoexamine，buthemerelyspituponthem.Whenwereadtohim，hedidnotfeelcomfortable.Andsoitisintheschools.Wefindthatourstudentsdon’tread,thattheylookdownuponreadingandscoldthoseofuswhoteachit.AlltheywanttodoiswatchTV.Afterthisexperiencewiththebaby,however,Ihavereachedaconclusion:letthemwatchit.Iftelevisionisthatmuchmoreattractivetochildrenthanbooks,whyshouldwefightit?Letthemwatchitalltheywant!Fromthepassageweknowthattheauthoris_____.A、adoctorB、aneditorC、awriterD、ateacher【正确答案】D【答案解析】答案选D。根据本段第五句话的信息，我们会很容易地推断出作者是一位教师。这句话的原文是：Wefindthatourstudentsdon’tread，thattheylookdownuponreadingandscoldthoseofuswhoteachit.它的意思是：我们发现我们的学生不读书，瞧不起读书，而且还骂我们这些教他们读书的人。由此来看，这里的“我们”指的就是当老师的这些人。第50题【单选题】Wecan’t[undertake]thatyouwillmakeaprofit.A、requireB、promiseC、promoteD、doubt【正确答案】B【答案解析】undertake承担，保证；promise允诺，许诺。第51题【单选题】Thegovernmenthascalledforanindependent[inquiry]intotheincident.A、requirementB、examinationC、analysisD、investigation【正确答案】D【答案解析】[inquiry]调查，质询。investigation调查。参考译文：政府要求对这一事件进行独立调查。第52题【单选题】Parentsoftendecideonthebasisofwhattheirchildrenwant.Cathy,amothertoldus,“Mychildrenhavepackedlunches,becausetheysaytheyhateschooldinners.Imake3packedluncheseverymorning,soourkitchenislikeasandwichbarinthemorning.”However,anothermother,Susanmadeherchoicebasedonthenutritiousvalueofthefood.Shesaid,“Mydaughteralwayshasschooldinners.IthinksheprobablygetshealthierfoodbyhavingacookedlunchatschoolthanshewouldifImadeafewsandwiches.”WhichofthefollowingisTRUEaccordingtothepassage?A、Katzthinkschipsaregoodforhiskids.B、Susan’sdaughterlikeseatingsandwiches.C、Cathymayhaveatleastthreechildren.D、Jamielikesburgersandpizzas.【正确答案】C【答案解析】答案选C。细节查找并简单推断题。从本段，特别是Imake3packedluncheseverymorning…可知Cathy有三个孩子在上学，有没有不上学的孩子不得而知，故选项C为最佳选项。其他三项均与原文意思不符。第53题【单选题】Criticalreading_______tonon-fictionwritinginwhichtheauthorputsforthapositionorseekstomakeastatement.A、appliesB、identifiesC、evaluatesD、reflects【正确答案】A【答案解析】题目意思：批判的阅读适用于纪实文学写作中，作者提出一个观点或旨在作出说明。apply意为“（与某人/某物）有关；有效；适用”，答案选A。第54题【单选题】IfyouenjoylookingthroughtravelbooksbysuchfamiliarauthorsasArthurFrommerorEugeneFodor,itwillnotsurpriseyoutolearnthattravelwritinghasalongandvenerablehistory.Almostfromtheearliestannalsofrecordedtimeindividualshavefoundreadyaudiencesfortheiraccountsofjourneystostrangeandexoticlocales.Thispassageismostlyabout__________.A、whypeoplefindtravelwritingexcitingB、theliterarystyleofthreeearlytravelwritersC、wherethreeearlytravelwriterswentandwroteaboutD、howtowriteatravelbook【正确答案】C【答案解析】答案选C。主旨题。联系第一自然段和每段首句知道，本文讲了三个作家，锁定答案B和C，结合内容，文章主要讲关于他们的旅行和作品。第55题【单选题】Fatherhad
