particularlycost-effectivesolutionforcompanieseither.v（更重要的是，酒店对公司来说也不

是一个特别划算的解决方案），可知，住酒店对公司来说不划算，因而此处指拿着手提箱住

在连锁酒店的生活方式很多人是不喜欢的，所以划线词此处与"frustrated"同义，故选A。

【答案】12.B13.A14.A15.B

【解析】

【导语•】这是一篇说明文。新的研究表明，高达五分之一的亚马逊雨林排放的二氧化碳多于

吸收的二氧化碳。文章对这种现象进行了详细介绍。

[12题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句Whiletreesaregrowing,theyabsorbCO2fromthe

atmosphere;deadtreesreleaseitagain.However;thefactisthatmillionsoftreeshavebeenlost

tologgingandfiresinrecentyears/"（当树木生长时,它们从大气中吸收二氧化碳；死掉的树

又会释放它。然而，事实是，近年来，数百万棵树因砍伐和火灾而消失。）可知，亚马逊雨

林不能再吸收以前那么多的二氧化碳了.故选B。

[13题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句中的"whilemostoftherainforeststillretainsitsabilityto

absorblargequantitiesofC02—especiallyinwetteryears”（尽管大多数雨林仍然保持着吸收

大量二氧化碳的能力一一尤其是在潮湿的年份）可知，LucianaGatti教授可能会赞同大多数亚

马逊雨林在潮湿的年份吸收更多的二氧化碳的观点。故选A。

【14题详解】

词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句"whilemostoftherainforeststillretainsitsabilitytoabsorb

largequantitiesofC02—especiallyinwetteryears—oneportionoftheforest,whichis

especiallyheavilydeforested,appearstohavelostthatcapacity.”（虽然大部分雨林仍然保持着

吸收大量二氧化碳的能力一一尤其是在潮湿的年份一一但有一部分森林，尤其是被严重砍伐

的森林，似乎已经失去了这种能力。）可知，这是一个令人心惊的发现，所以startling意为

“惊人的”。故选A。

【15题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段"UptoonefifthoftheAmazonrainforestisemittingmorecarbon

dioxide（C02）,thanitabsorbs,newresearchsuggests.”（新的研究表明，高达五分之一的亚马

逊雨林排放的二氧化碳多于吸收的二氧化碳。）可知，文章主要是讲亚马逊雨林已经逐渐由

二氧化碳吸收器转化为二氧化碳排放器。故选B。

【答案】16.C17.D18.A19.F20.G

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界上最棒演讲的几点共同特征。它们包括不同凡

响的开头、演讲的对象是观众而非演讲者和演讲者要充满自信。

【16题详解】

根据第一段第一句"FromMartinLutherKingJr.toSteveJobs,thebestspeechesintheworld

makearealdifferencetolisteners."（从小马丁•路德•金到史蒂夫•乔布斯，世界上最棒的演讲

给听众带来了真正的不同。）和第二段首句Greatspeechesalwaysbeginwithabang.（非

常棒的演讲总是有不同凡响的开头。），可知设空是本文的主题句，它起着承上启下的作用。

所以选择"Let'slookatthecommonfactorsofthebestspeechesintheworld."（让:我们来看

看世界上最好的演讲的几点共同特征。）故选C。

【17题详解】

根据上文中“Then,nomatterhowgreatthecontentofthespeechis,itdoesn'treachtheright

earsattherighttime."（然后，不管演讲的内容有多么精彩，它都不会在正确的时间传到正

确的人的耳朵里。）,可知下文应该是一句支撑句来说明原因的。可知设空的内容为：这是

因为这个演讲的开头不足以令人印象深刻，故选D。

[18题详解】

根据下文“Puttingallthepartstogethertocompletethepictureisn/tenough.Youraudience

mustbeabletorecognizethepicture.（把所有的部分放在一起来完成图片是不够的。你的

观众必须能够识别出这幅图片。）可知设空的内容为：记住，你的演讲就像一个迷题。正因

为你演讲像一个谜题，作为演讲者应该合理组织这个“谜题”各个部分，从而让听众识别你

在讲什么。故选A。

【19题详解】

根据下文“Thegreatestspeakers—fromNapoleontoBarackObama—havedeliveredtheir

speecheswithgreatconfidence.M（最伟大的演讲者，从拿破仑到巴拉克•奥巴马，都非常自

信地发表了他们的演讲。），可知设空部分的内容应该讲的是好的演讲要应该是自信的演讲。

选项E“使用自信的词语是有史以来最伟大的演讲的另一个共同特征。”，选项中的“the

useofconfidentwords'"也与下文意思一致,故选F。

【20题详解】

根据上文11Moreover,peoplewonztwanttolistentothosewhostumbleovertheirwords."（止匕

外，没有人想听那些说话结结巴巴，断断续续的人），可知设空内容为；在演讲停顿处，有

意识地用一些自信和有希望的词语来填补。选项G.“有意识地用自信和有前途的单词或短

语来填补你演讲中的空白。“选项中的"fillthegaps”和confidentandpromisingwordsw

也与上文一致，故
