1、[Cl]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：空格是句子表语的一部分，在最高级标记most之后，应为形容词。

根据句意“穷人通常最……其影响”,vulnerable”脆弱的:易受攻击的”符合语义。

2、[C2]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：此处需填入副词，修饰动名词responding。转折词insteadof表明此

处讲救灾人员不应该做的事，根据句意“救援人员和决策者应采取行动预防此类罕

见的灾难性事件，而不能到了危急关头才……应对"，simply符合句意。

3、[C3]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：rare和…disastrous并列修饰名词events,此处需要副词修饰

disastrouso副词potentially”潜在地；可能地”符合句意，与anticipate“预测”在语义

上呼应，potentiallydisastrousevents意为“可能造成灾难的事件”。

4、[C4]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：空格应填入名词，作谓语动词hasgained的宾语。结合上一段提到的

内容（要预防灾难性事件的发生）可以推断，2008年世界遭受各种主要危机后，risk

management（危机处理）显得越来越重要，故此处选用prominenceo

5、[C5]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：空格为名词shocks的定语，可为名词、形容词或分词。句中提到，

各类冲击，尤其是健康、气候的冲击和经济危机，使穷人处于贫困线以下。可见这

些冲击是“不利的，有害的“，故选adverse。

6、[C6]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：此处需填入动词原形，构成help（lo）dosth.。根据下文所举例子（孟

加拉两次台风造成的伤亡）可知，超前干预可以减少未来遭受的损失，offscTft

消‘补偿''符合句意。

7、[C7]

标准答案：O

知识点解析：此处需填入与strength并列的名词。本段对比了1970年和2007年台

风造成的伤亡人数。而只有在某些方面类似的东西，才具有可比性。

characteristics“特点”符合句子语义。

8、[C8]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：空格前的asystemofwarning...提示空格处可能是动名词，与these

events构成动宾搭配。本段首句提到要进行超前干预，故填入空格的词应与

warning“预警”相关，forecasting符合上下语义。

9、[C9]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：空格应填入动词，构成搭配belikelytodo,且可与介词in搭配。本

段首句提到“危机管理还要帮助人们进步”，由此可知，得到保险补偿的加纳和印度

的农民更可能将钱“投入”到农业上，而不是留着钱预防可能出现的灾害。invest”投

资”符合上下语义。

10、[C10]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：could提示空格应为动词原形。本句大意是：如果不提前做好准备，

以前的大部分发展成果可能付诸东流。句子使用条件句，主句部分讲的是某种可能

性，risk”冒……的危险”符合语义。

21、WhatmakesbuyinggiftsforChristmasbecomeachore?

A、Thepressureoftheholiday.

Thelackoftimelorshopping.

C^Theincreasingvarietyofgifts.

D、Thecommercializationoftheholiday.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：首段末句中的dyingdays和lastminute都表明是时间上的因素使圣诞

节的购物变成苦差事，因此本题应选Bu

22、Whenbuyinggiftsinthelastminute,peopletendtobeconcernedabout.

A、choosingindividualgiftsfbrtherecipients

BNwhatisthemoresuitablegiftforaholiday

C、gettingagiftfbreveryone

D、towhomtheysendthegift

标准答案：C'

知识点解析：第2段第2句中的detachedfrom…表明在最后一刻才急匆匆地赶去买

礼物时，人们不考虑礼物的目的，不考虑送礼的对象，当然也就不会考虑礼物是否

合适，也就是说，人们只是为了买礼物而买礼物，只想给每个人送礼，由此可见，

本题应选C。

23、Aperfectgiftdiffersfromothergiftsintheir.

A、usefulness

B>meaningfulness

C^exquisiteness

D^artistry

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第4段第2句中的message一词表明完美礼物注重的是礼物表达的信

息，即其含义，因此本题应选B。

24、The"gesture"(Line3,Para.5)mostprobablyrefersto.

A、givingthegifttotherecipient

B、choosingagiftwithselflesseffort

C、wrappingthegiftbeforesendingit

D、showingyourconcerntotherecipient

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题解题的关键在于理解末段第2句中的第2个分句。在这个分句

中，ihepleasure是主语，willradiate…是谓语，pleasure后that引出的是修饰

pleasure的定语从句，这样就不难看出gesture是指该分句开头的giving,由此可

见，本题应选A。

25Inthispassage,theauthorismostlikelytopointout.

A、thebestwayofchoosingandgivingtherightgifts

B、theimportanceofthoughtfulnessinchoosingagift

C、thatone'slovefbrotherscanbestbedemonstratedbygifts

D、thatofferingagiftbenefitsboththegiverandthereceiver

标准答案：D

知识点解析：本文在首段首句、第2段首句、第3段末句，以及末段第2句不断强

调“赠送礼物时对赠送者和接受者而言都是一种快乐”这个主题，由此可见，本题应

选Do

26、Theauthorismostprobablya.

A、hunter

biologist

C^journalist

D、traveler

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文章第1段中作者指出用望远镜来观察狼群，而从文章可以看出作者

对狼的生活习性很了解，在倒数第2段作者还敢盯着狼想要把它吓退。从这些信息

都可以推断作者很可能是一个生物学家，具有较多的专业知识，因此本题选B。

27、Whydidthewolvesignoretheauthor'spresence?

A、Becausehistentwasoutofthewolves5estateboundaries.

B、Becausetheauthorhasjustarrivedatthespot.

C>Becausethewolvesv/eretoobusytonoticehim.

D、Becausethewolveswereafraidofstrangers.

标准答案：A

知识之解析：在第2段狼群对作者的存在并不在意，但到了第4段末句，狼盯着作

者的帐篷，这其中的变化就在于第3段描写的作者在狼群的领土范围内留下了自己

的记号，由此可推断，在此之前狼群之所以忽视他的存在就是因为他不在狼群的领

土范围之内，即选项A为本题答案。

28、WhichofthefollowingisTRUEaboutthewolvesaccordingtothepassage?

A^Thewolvesdonotstartattackinghumansunlessirritatedbyhumans.

B、Thewolvesgohuntingatnightandgobacktothedensatdawn.

C、Thewolvesdonotrelyontheirsighttorecognizeboundaries.

D、Thewolvesmarktheirfamilyboundariesbymeansofwater.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第4段首句和末段末句中的sniff一话都表明狼主要以嗅的方法确认

领地，因此选项C是正确的说法。

29、Thephrase"breaktheimpasse'*(Line2,Para.5)isclosesttothemeaningof

A^avoidbeingattacked

B、breaktheice

C、triggerhostility

D、defeattheenemy

标准答案：B'

知识点解析：从倒数第2段第2句中的intolerable一词可以知道作者和狼当时处在

一个僵持的局面，作者对此已经觉得难以忍受，因此主动先采取行动，目的是为了

试探狼的举动，由此可见，选项B是最贴切的理解。

30、Whichofthefollowingbestexplainsthereasonwhytheauthorstakesoutanarsaof

hisown?

A、Hethoughtitbettertobestaredatthantobeignored.

B、Hedidn'twantthewolvestousethetrackpasthistent.

C、Hewantedthewolvestotakenoticeofhisexistence.

D、Hewantedtofindouthowfiercethewolfsglarewas.

标准答案：C

知识之解析：从第3段第2句开始，作者描述了如何划定自己的领土，所有这些描

述都是围绕该段首句展开的，选项C就是本题答案。

A、Manybeekeepersdon'tcontinuetheirworkinwin:cr.

Manyhoneybeesflytoothercountriesinwinter.

C>Anumberofhoneybeesdiefromthelowtemperature.

D、Coldweathermayposeadverseeffectonhoneybees.

标准答案：D

知识点解析:推断题。文章第一段讲到Honeybeepopulationsdeclinedby13.6%

overthewinter,accordingtoasurveyofbeekeepersacrossEngland.Lossesweremost

severeinlhenorth-east,wherethesurveyrecordedalossrateof17.1%.（英国蜂农

调查，蜜蜂数量在冬天下降了13.6%,而东北部的损失尤其严重，损失率达到

17.1%。）,英国位于北半球，冬季非常寒冷，而在冬天，英国东北部比英国其他

地区气温更低，文章讲到英国东北部损失率更高，由此可知，越寒冷，蜜蜂损失率

越高，那么寒冷天气可能会对蜜蜂产生不良影响。因此，正确答案是D。
