【答案与解析】

21it

(本句意为“污染”就是弄脏——表层土或什么东西,通过引进杂质,这使……不健康或不干净。显然,此空处应指something,因为前面已出现,所以用it来代替。因而填入it。)

22taste

(根据句意,污染有很多形式。我们可以看见的,闻到的,尝到的,喝到的,还有碰到的。所以填入taste。)

23not

(此空前半句意为“我们真的生活在污染中,呼吸着它”,而后半句意为“它开始……我们的健康、幸福和文明。”显然,这是因果关系,故中间的surprisingly前只能加个否定词not。因此填入not。)

24threaten

(此空前半句意为“我们真的生活在污染中,呼吸着它”,而后半句应意为“它开始威胁我们的健康、幸福和文明。”所以填入threaten。)

25as

(thinkofsth.assth.为固定短语,意为“把某物想成某物”。所以填入as。)

26air

(由前面的smog可知,此空处应填入与smog相应的物质,又由后面的“hoversovercities”可知,此物质只能是“脏空气”。因此填入air。)

27still

(本句意为“但是空气污染,尽管它……是最危险的,但也只是几种攻击最基本生活功能的污染方式之一。”显然,此空应填“仍然”。所以填入still。)

28which

(由语法可知此空应为一个引导定语从句的词,即which,其后的定语修饰“several(typesofcontamination)”。所以填入which。)

29killing

(本句意为“通过无控制地使用杀虫剂,人类已经污染了土地,……野生动物。”显然,此空处应填“杀害”,但不能填kill,因为英语中无连词时不可能有两个谓语,故应填killing。killing

thewildlife是现在分词做伴随状语。所以应填入killing。)

30dumping

(由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质……入河流和湖泊,……”可知,此空处显然应为“倒”。介词后只能用dumping,而不能用dump。所以填入dumping。)

31drinking

(由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质倒入河流和湖泊,我们已经污染了我们的……水。”显然,此空处应为“饮用”。所以填入drinking。)

32thereby

(本句句意为“我们也正在污染海洋,杀死了鱼类,……剥夺了我们那无价的食物供应。”显然,此空前后为因果关系,而且depriving前不能用so或其他表因果关系的连词,而只能用介词thereby。)

33of

(deprivesb.ofsth.为固定短语,意为“剥夺某人的某东西(或某权利)”。所以填入介词of。)

34population

(由下一句“越来越多的人正在制造更多的垃圾。”可知,此处应指“膨胀的人口”,即explodingpopulation。所以填入population。)

35dispose

(由前一句“但是这个问题因为我们的‘一次性’技术而加剧了。”可知,此处应为“丢掉,扔掉”之意,即disposeof。所以填入dispose。)

36reuse

(由后一句“今天几乎每件东西都可以被扔掉。”可知“……任何东西不再流行了。”中的空处应为“再利用”,这样前后两句逻辑上才能合理。所以填入reuse。)

37Instead

(由本句句意“……修一台烤箱或一台收音机,买一台新的、扔掉旧的更容易、更便宜……”可知,肯定是“不修”,又因为有介词of,所以应填instead。insteadof意为“不做某事”,是固定短语。所以填入Instead。)

38though

(由本句句意“与其修一台烤箱或一台收音机,买一台新的、扔掉旧的更容易、更便宜,……它的95%的部件仍可以使用。”可知,此处表转折,应填“尽管,即使”,即eventhough。所以填入though。)

39paper

(由前一句“...arenowpaperthrowaways.”可知“不久以后我们将穿由纸制作的衣服。”所以填入paper。)

40Fortunately

(由本句句意“……可以看到有解决办法的希望了。”可知此空应填“幸运的是”。所以填入Fortunately。)

Foranunnecessaryword,crossout

theunnecessarywordwithaslash“/”andputthewordintheblankprovidedat

theendoftheline.

Example:

【答案与解析】

41basic→basically

(basic为形容词,应该副词修饰后面的形容词private。所以将basic改成basically。)

42best→most

(此句句意为,美国的经济是以基本的私有企业和市场导向经济为架构的,在这种经济中,消费者很大程度上通过在市场上为那些他们最想要的货品和服务付费来决定什么应该被制造出来。此处应该填入副词修饰动词“want”,因而将best改成most。)

43determine→determines

(此句中determine的主语为“theprofitmotive”,应该使用第三人称单数形式。所以将determine改为determines。)

44couple→coupled

(此句中,前面已经出现了谓语“is”,因而后面应使用过去分词将其变成非谓语动词引导句子。所以将couple改成coupled。)

45incomes∧together→that

(此句为强调句型,Itis...that...。句意为“因此,在美国经济体系中,正是消费者个体的需求与商人试图最大化其利润的欲望,和个人想最大化其收入的欲望相结合,一起决定了什么应该被制造以及资源如何被用来制造它们”。所以在together前面加入that引导后面的句子。)

46with→to

(respondto为固定搭配,意为“应对”。所以将with改成to。)

47arise→rise

(arise表示出现,rise表示上升、增强,表示价格上升应该用rise。所以将arise改成rise。)

48at→in

(inshortsupply为固定搭配,表“短缺”。所以将at改成in。)

49down→up

(根据句意,当商品短缺时,商品价格应该上涨而不是下降。所以将down改成up。)

50Moreover→Thus

(Moreover表递进,意思是“更重要的是……”,前面几句解释了价格是如何调节美国经济的,因此这里应该用一个总结性的词引导后面的结论句。Thus的意思是“因此”,表总结。所以将Moreover改成Thus。)

【答案与解析】

71C 文章第一段指出,每天都有妈妈和她们的孩子们在SaintCamille医院的门外耐心地等候就诊,侧面说明SaintCamille医院为帮助妇女和儿童抵抗健康疾病做出了巨大贡献。C项符合题意。A项SaintCamille医院的医生们医疗技术高超、B项BurkinaFaso的妈妈和孩子们容易生病和D项妇女和儿童正面临严重的地方病,均属于过度解读。故选C。

72D starkly的意思是“完全地,彻底地”,D项entirely“完全地”符合题意。cheerlessly忧郁地;阴暗地。surprisingly惊人地;出人意料地。obviously显然地。故选D。

73B 根据第七段“ChildmalnutritionisworsethanitwasadecadeagoinBurkina

Faso,withmorethanathirdofchildrenmalnourished.”可知,BurkinaFaso的儿童们面临着严重的营养不良,并且人数在增多。故选B。

74D 根据第三段最后一句话“Mostofthosechildrenaresufferingfrommalaria—thenumberone

killerofchildreninBurkinaFaso.”可知,疟疾已经成为威胁BurkinaFaso的儿童们的健康的头号杀手。故选D。

75D 根据文章倒数第四段第一句话可知,世界银行通过HIV/AIDSDisasterResponseProject来支持BurkinaFaso抵抗疾病,并且在2001年就批准了2400万美元的项目资金。文章后五段也表明了世界银行一直在支持BurkinaFaso抵抗HIV/AIDS,D项“世界银行非常关心BurkinaFaso妇女和儿童的健康问题”,符合题意。故选D。
