PartIWriting(课上讲解)

PartIIReadingComprehension(SkimmingandScanning)

1.VirtuallyallplantandanimalspeciesonEarthcanbefoundin

tropicalrainforests.

［答案］N

［解析］题干说地球上儿乎所有的植物和动物都能在热带雨林中

找到。根据关键词plantandanimalspecies定位到文章的第一自

然段，该段第二句话的意思是当今，热带雨林仅仅覆盖地球的

6%,但行星上的生物和动物物种超过一半都能在热带雨林中找

到。在文章的第三个小标题下的第一句话也可以得知答案：文章

中说大多数并没有说全部。但是第一个题目说几乎所有的生物和

动物物种都能在热带雨林中找到，这与第一段第二句话的意思相

矛盾，所以是错误的。

2.Thereisnotmuchchangeintheweatherinthetropicalrainforests

alltheyearround.

［答案］Y

［解析］题干说热带雨林一年之中天气没有多大的变化。根据题目

关键词theweatherinthetropicalrainforests定位到文章的第一个

小标题下的第三段，该段主要讲热带雨林的气候。该题解的关键

是该段的第一句中的Thissteadyclimate以及最后一句

Consequently,theweatherintheseregionsremainsfairlyconstant.。

第二题正好是该段最后一句的同义转述。

3.Thelargestnumberofrainforestsintheworldarelocatedonthe

Africancontinent.

［答案］NG

［解析］题干说世界上大多数的雨林在非洲大陆。文章第一个小标

题下的几段内容都是讲了什么是热带雨林，以及热带雨林的分

布，热带雨林的气候等等，但是讲到热带雨林的分布的时候并没

有提到热带雨林的大部分分布在非洲大陆，甚至整篇文章都没有

提到非洲，因此第三题所叙述的内容在文章中并没有涉及。

4.Belowthecanopylevelofatropicalrainforestgrowsan

overabundanceofplants.

［答案］N

［解析］题干说在热带雨林的树冠层下面生长着茂盛的植物。根据

关键词canopy定位到文章的第五段。文章提到，在热带雨林的

顶部是茂盛的树冠层，而下面的植物则非常稀少。因此，该题的

答案为No

5.Newtreeseedlingswillnotsurvivetoreachthecanopylevel

unless.

［答案］someoldertreesdie

［解析］题干中问在什么情况下新的树苗才能存活下来并长到树

冠的高度。根据Newtreeseedlings定位到文章的第二个小标题下

面的第一段，不难得出答案。特别要注意题目中reach与文章中

的makeitto是一对替换词，都表示“达到”的意思，这是解题

的关键。

6.Epiphytes,whichformmuchoftheunderstoryoftherainforest,

getalltheirwaterandnutrientsfrom.

［答案］thecanopylayer

［解析］根据关键词Epiphytes定位到文章第二个小标题下的之后

一段的第四行，题目问Epiphytes从什么地方来得到水分和养分,

而该段的第四行正是说thecanopylayer提供了所有的它们需要

的水分和养分。正好与题目匹配。，所以不难得出答案。

7.Stranglersaresocalledbecausetheybyblockingthe

sunlightandcompetingforthenutrients.

［答案］killthehosttree

［解析］根据关键词Stranglers定位在第三个小标题第一段的最后

两行。题目问之所以成为扼杀者，是因为它们通过阻止阳光照射

和与植物竞争养分来干什么？原文中正好说出答案，目的是the

hosttreedieSo所以答案为killthehosttree.

8.Sincerainforestbacteriaandtreesdependoneachotherforlife,

therelationshiptheyformistermed.

［答案］symbiotic

［解析］题干问既然雨林的细菌利树木相互依存才能生存，那么他

们之间的关系叫做什么呢？根据关键词rainforestbacteriaand

trees定位在第三个标题下的倒数第二段,根据该段的第一句话的

大意是热带雨林依赖于持续产生营养成分的细菌，热带雨林的细

菌与树木形成了一种密切的、共生的关系。由此可以得到该题的

答案应该是symbiotico

9.Plantspeciesaredispersedoveralargeareawiththehelp

of.

［答案］insects

［解析］根据关键词Plantspecies和alargearea定位到第三个小标

题下的第二段的最后一句。该题目问植物的物种是在什么东西的

帮助下在大区域扩散的。而该段最后一句的大意是随着它们的前

进，一些昆虫可能会捡起植物的种子，丢在比较远的地方。由此

帮助了植物的物种在更大的区域扩散。因此不难得出答案是

insectso

10.Aswearestillignorantofmillionsofuniquelifeformsinthe

rainforest,deforestationcanbecomparedtothedestruction

of.

［答案］anunknownplanet

［解析］根据关键词uniquelifeformsintherainforest和

deforestation定位在文章的最后一段。题目问我们继续忽视雨林

中的独特的生命形式，森林滥砍滥伐就会被比作什么？从文章的

最后一段Destroyingtherainforestsiscomparabletodestroyingan

unknownplanet可以得至I」答案，应该是anunknownplaneto

PartIVReadingComprehension(ReadinginDepth)

SectionA

47.Bysaying“itmightaswellbeginwiththewords'Onceupona

time'"(Line3,Para.1),theauthorsuggeststhattheAmericanmythis-

［答案］divorcedfromreality

［解析］本题定位的信号词非常明显，就是对文章第一段第二句的

精确理解。本句的大意是美国神话已经与现实脱离，因而一谈到

美国神话也许就先要说明已经是很早以前的事情了。因此答案是

divorcedfromreality。如果考生写出unrealistic也是正确的。

48.WhatistheAmericanDreamofthewell-to-dobuiltupon?

［答案］Thebowedbacksoftheworkingpoor

［解析］题目问美国富人的美国梦是建立在什么基础上的。根据关

键信号词AmericanDream以及well-to-do定位在文章第一段的

最后一句。因此不难得出答案Thebowedbacksoftheworking

poor

49.SomeAmericanstrytomakethemselvesfeellessguiltyby

attributingthepovertyoftheworkingpeopleto.

［答案］lackofskill

［解析］题目问到有些美国人把工薪阶层的贫困归咎于什么原因，

以减轻自己的愧疚感。然后根据题干的定位信号词guilty以及

attributing来定位，很容易找到文章第三段的第一句；然后我们

观察到题目的空格处应该填一个名词或名词性结构，因此我们填

的时候应该注意形式的转换。

50.Welearnfromthepassagethatthedifferenceinpaybetweenthe

lowestpaidandtheaverageworkerinAmericaisthan

thatinotherindustrializedcountries.

［答案］muchgreater

［解析］题目问到与其他工业化国家相比，美国薪酬最低的工人与

一般工人在报酬上的差距是怎样的。然后根据信号定位词

industrializedcountries,定位到第三段倒数第二句：美国薪酬最

低的工人占全体劳动力的10%,他们的薪酬只是一般工人的

37%,而在其他的工业化国家，这一类工人所获得的报酬是一般

工人报酬的60%多。因此我们通过对内容的概括可以得出答案：

muchgreater.

51.Accordingtotheauthor,howwouldanAmericanfamilywitha

carandahouseinthesuburbsprobablyfeelaboutthemselvestoday?

［答案］Poor

［解析］本题问根据作者的观点，在当今，郊区拥有汽车和房子的

家庭的感觉是什么？根据关键词Americanfamilywithacaranda

houseinthesuburbs和时间定位词today,定位在文章的最后一段。

该段的第二句的大意是当今，同样的家庭可能感到贫困。特别注

意thesamefamily是对该段第——句familywithacarandahouse

inthesuburbs的一个同义表达替换。除此之外，还要注意时间关

键词，分清在郊区拥有汽车和房子的家庭在Almost40yearsago

与today之间的差别与变化，这也是解题的关键之一。

者的观点进行剖析,阐述了这一“单身趋势”是一种个人主义势头

的部分表现。）

52.MoreandmoreyoungEuropeansremainsinglebecause

［定位与替换］本题询问越来越多的欧洲年轻人保持单身是因为

什么。定位于文章第一段，问题正好与该段中“Butanincreasing

numberof（=Moreandmore）Europeansarechoosingtobesoatan

everearlierage.”对应。（做题时要注意先将问题所问话题在文章

中定位,然后再找问题答案的定位。因为一般来说,作者展开话

题后会进行分析,但是不一定发表自己的看法,也可以引用别人

的话去分析，本文就是这样的。）第一段第2句向后便用他人

（embracedbysociologists,real-estatedevelopersandad

executivesalike利observesaFrenchsociologist）的观点去剖析这

一现象。这里尤其应注意Frenchsociologist的话，大意为“从家

庭（模式）转向单身生活（模式）是势不可挡的个人主义势头的

一部分（表现）。”也就是说，在个人主义趋势之下，很多人开始

过单身生活，与A项意思吻合。所以选A）theyaredrivenbyan

overwhelmingsenseofindividualism他们受到压倒性的单身主义

信念的驱使。这里命题者用了换词：irresistible（势不可挡）一

overwhelming（压倒性的），momentum（动因,势头，推动力）

->driven（驱使）。还要注意，作者始终没有明确发表自己的看

法，只是正面地引用了其他学者（aFrenchsociologist）的观点进

行分析，然后进一步举例说明。这是借助他人的观点来含蓄地表

达自己的看法。

［干扰项分析［B）theyhaveenteredtheworkforceatamuchearlier

age他们过早地参加工作。首先说法本身就是站不住脚的,难道

过早工作就会导致单身？其次这一命题在文章中也找不到任何

根据。C）theyhaveembracedabusinesscultureofstability他们拥

有一个稳定的商业环境。根据文章首段的后半部分，“theshift

fromabusinesscultureofstabilitytooneofmobilityandthemass

entryofwomenintotheworkforcehavegreatlywreakedhavoc

（扰乱）Europeans?privatelives.^^（一个稳定的商业环境转向灵

活以及大批女性加入工作大军已经极大地扰乱了欧洲人的个人

生活），这是紧接法国学者的观点阐述的，目的是进一步剖析导

致单身大潮的各种因素。可见实际上拥有一个稳定的商业环境才

有利于组建家庭,显然该选项不可取。D＞）theyarepessimisticabout

theireconomicfuture他们对自己的经济前途很悲观。就这句话本

身而言就不成立,文章没有一处说到欧洲经济萧条,相反多处指

出欧洲人的收入增加,经济繁荣（ModernEuropeansarerich

enoughtoaffordtolivealone...）,更没有说欧洲人对经济前景表

示悲观。因对经济前途悲观就不组织家庭的说法实际上是站不住

脚的,在文中更是没有依据。

Europe'sneweconomicclimate（经济状况）haslargelyfostered

temperamentallyindependentenoughtowanttodoso.（进一步说

明这种单身大潮是由欧洲现今的经济状况决定的。）

53.WhatissaidaboutEuropeansocietyinthepassage?.

［定位与替换］本题询问文中关于欧洲社会是怎样说的。根据关键

词汇Europeansociety定位于文章第一、二段中提到欧洲的句子。

第二段“Thecurrentgenerationofhome-alonerscameofageduring

Europe'sshiftfromsocialdemocracytothesharper,more

individualisticclimateofAmericanstylecapitalism.^^（当今这一代

单身人群，是在欧洲从社会民主主义向更加强烈、更个人主义化

的美国式资本主义思潮转变期间成年的）。也就是说明当今欧洲

社会的一个状况——向美国式资本主义靠拢。命题者用了换词

shriftfrom...to...—»getcloseto…。所以选B）Itisgettingcloser

toAmerican-stylecapitalism它正变得更接近于美国式资本主义。

［干扰项分析［A）Ithasfosteredthetrendtowardssmallfamilies它

造就了向往小家庭的趋势。该项说法与文章内容不符,第二段开

头说的是“Europe'sneweconomicclimatehaslargelyfosteredthe

trendtowardindependenceJ注意这里的independence不等于

smallfamilies,是完全不同的两个概念。这里命题者运用了“偷换

概念’的手法来设置干扰项。C）Ithaslimitedconsumerchoice

despiteafreemarket尽管存在一个自由市场，它仍限制了消费者

的选择。与文章内容不符,根据文章第二段的"Raisedinaneraof

privatizationandincreasedconsumerchoice,today'stech-savvy（精

解答本题需要整合儿个句子的内容。

［干扰项分析］A)warmandlighthearted热情的和快乐的。第三段

提到的"whilebeingtogethersuggestedwarmthandlight.",是说

"beingtogether”(指组织家庭)就会温暖和愉快,而不是说“the

newestgroupofsingles",与文章内容相悖。B)oneithersideof

marriage尚未进入婚姻或者老年丧偶。第三段提到“Onceupona

time,peoplewholivedalonetendedtobethoseoneithersideof

marriage",特别注意这里的“Onceuponatime”(从前),从前单

身的大都是eithersideofmarriage",但是问题问的是最新的

单身一族,显然是“张冠李戴'了。C)negativeandgloomy消极的

和悲观的。与文章内容不符，“Livingalonewasconceivedtobe

negative-darkandcold",注意这里的时态,是在说过去单身的

人们怎样,显然是答非所问。

［定位与替换］本题问作者引用Eppendorf是为了表明什么。答案

A）somemodemwomenpreferalifeofindividualfreedom一些现

代的女性更偏爱充满个人自由的生活。定位于文章末尾处

Eppendorf,....Justshyof50,shesaysshe'dneverhavewantedto

dowhathermotherdid-giveupacareertoraiseafamily.Instead,

"I'vealwaysdonewhatIwantedtodo:liveaself-determined

(她说她从不希望象她母亲那样放弃事业去组建家庭，“我总是

做我想做的事:过一种自主的生活”)，可见这里的“self-determined

life”就是指单身生活。她是属于somemodemwomen中的一员。

这里命题者同样做了换词：Iwantedtodo—>prefer,

self-determined—individualfreedom.
