1、WhatistrueaboutthemarinecreaturesintheBeringSea?

A^Russiatriestosavetheseabystockingfewerfish.

B>Therearestillabundantmarinecreaturesthere.

C、Itwillsoonbestrippedofcommercialfish.

D^Therearetoomanyboatsbuttoofewfish.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：根据题干中的BeringSea定位到第2段第2句。该句末尾用于修饰

BeringSea的后置定语表明白令海峡现在仍然有abundantmarine,因此B正确。C

中的willsoon说的过于绝对了，原文只是有这种担心，但没有提到“什么时候”白

令海峡的鱼都会被打光；D与第2段第2句中as引出的从句一模一样，但该从句

讲的是全世界范围的普遍情况，而不是白令海峡的情况。

2、Bysayingthatpollackis"bottom-dwelling"creature,theauthormeansthat

pollack.

A^livesdeepdownintheseabed

B、isfundamentaltogoodhealth

C、isleastinlluencedbyhumans

D、islowdowninthefoodchain

标准答案：D

知识点解析：根据题干中的pollack和“bottom-dwelling”定位至力第3段。如果只看第

3段和第4段第1句，很容易误选A,但只要看到第4段第2句中的higherupin

thefoodchain,就可以推断pollack应该处在食物链的最底层。关于pollack处在食

物链的位置，从第4段最后一句的内容也可得到证实，因此，D才是正确答案。

3、Thepassagemainlytriestoremindustobeaware.

A^ofthevariousthreatstotheBeringSeanow

B、oftheimpactofcommercialactivitiesontheBeringSea

C^thatoverfishingwillendangerthewholeecosystem

D、thatitisessentialtoaccordcommercewithecosystem

标准答案：A

知识点解析：原文共有7段，前六段主要讲白令海峡的过度捕捞情况，最后二段提

到了白令海峡facesthreatsthatoriginatethousandsofmilesaway。即海水受到污染和

海水温度上涨。总结来看，本文主要讲的是白令海峡面临的各种威胁，而前六段的

“过度捕捞/经济捕捞”只是其中一点，因此，最能全面概括原文所有内容的应为

Ao其他选项都忽略了最后一段的内容。

4、WhenTheDaVinciCodewasfirstpublished,Doubleday.

A、hopedthatitwouldbecomeahistoricpublication

B、onlyexpectedtosellnomorethan85,000copies

C>hadgreatconfidenceinthebookanditsauthor

D、announcedaconservativeprintingofthebook

标准答案：C

知识点解析：根据第1段和第2段第1句可知Doubleday对该书的作者及其作品充

满信心。故本题应选C,D稍具干扰性，首段表明Doubleday对该书首次出版的数

量其实是充满信心的，所以用“保守”形容这个数量不合适，因此D不正确。

5、DoubledayonlysellsthehardcoverTheDaVinciCodebecause.

A、theconsumersaresupposedtocontroltheirbudgets

B、thepriceofthepaperbacksistoolowforgreatprofits

C、thebookissopopularthatreadersdon'tmindtheprice

D、thefilmversionisexpectedtobemorepopularthanthebook

标准答案：C

知识点解析：根据题干中的hardcover定位到第4段最后一句。该句中同时提到了

hardcover和paperback两种版本，通常前者较贵，后者较便宜，句中的sogood

that…表明连较贵的hardcover都卖得很好，所以Doubleday暂时没想过要推出较便

宜的paperback版本，可.见，这本书很受欢迎，而读者也并不介意精装本的高价

格，C综合了这些内容，故为本题答案。

6、Accordingtothelastparagraph,duringthetimeoftighteconomy,.

A、peoplewereeasilydistractedbyothermedia

B、TheDaVinciCodewasanexceptionalsuccess

C^literarynovelshadtofightagainstcommercialonesformarket

D、thepublichadnootherchoiceofentertainmentbutnonfictionworks

标准答案：B

知识点解析：末段首句中duringatimewhen…，when...暗示在经济紧缩时期，书

籍的销量都是不好的，故《达芬奇密码》的畅销是一个例外，B正确。A中的

competitionfromothermedia在原文中是与atighteconomy和election-yeartensions

并列的成分，这三点都是导致书市低迷的原因，可见，A并不是在tighteconomy

时必然发生的事。从原文末段首句只能推断出文艺小说和商业小说都要挣扎求存，

两者本身并非对立的关系，C中的fighlagainst不正确。

7、KweisiMfumewasabouttheeffectofthe"sweetvictory1'.

A、rational

B、arbitrary

C、ambiguous

D、convinced

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据题干中的KweisiMfume定位到第2段。该段第2句的however

表明KweisiMFume从正反两面分析了sweelviclory的影响，他的分析理性、全

面，因此，本题应选A,而同时也可以排除B（武断的）。在该段中，KweisiMfume

的观点鲜明，因此，C不正确；至于D.KweisiMfume在原文用的是If…的句式。

表示假设的条件句不可能显示“确信”的态度。

8、WhathappenedtoHattieMcDanielafterherperfonnanceinGonewiththeWind?

A、ShewasalienatedbytheAfricanAmericans.

B、Shehadtoplaysimilarrolesinotherfilms.

C^Shebegantogiveupherprogressiveview.

D、Shewantedtochangeherstereotypedimage.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：根据题干中的HattieMcDaniel定位到第3段。该段末尾的similar,

stereotyped表明HattieMcDaniel在获奖后，角色被定型了，因此。B为本题答案。

9、Inthepassage,a"bigot-fodder"mostprobablyreferstoapersonwhois.

A、unique

B、complicated

C、unimportant

D、simple

标准答案：D

知识点解析：根据题干中的bigol-fodder定位到第6段第I句。该句中的ralherthan

表明bigot-fodder的性格应该与前面的partgood,partbad相反，即bigot-fodder应

该是性格单一，不复杂的角色，可见，本题应选D。该句冒号后举的几个例子可能

会让人觉得bigoi-fodder是电影中不重要的角色而选了C,但例子是用来说明前面

的观点的.不能基于儿个例子就作出脱离前面观点的推论.

10NAccordingtotheauthor,thedoubleOscarthisyear.

A、triggersthebattleonracisminfilmindustry

B、helpssettletheissueofracisminfilmindustry

C、verifiestheequalitybetweenracesinfilmindustry

D、disclosestheinequalitybetweenracesinfilmindustry

标准答案：C

知识点解析：根据题干中的doubleOscar定位到第6段最后一句。该句中的seallhe

contract字面意思为“在合同上盖章”，引申为“确认”的意思，该句和上一句结合起

来，表明这一次的doubleOscar“证明”了Thatbattle...wassettled（电影圈种族之诃的

问题很早以前就已经解决了），现在各种族已平等，可见，本题应选C。另外，既

然问题已经解决了，A中的trigger和B中的helpsettle就不对了。

二、简答题（本题共5题，每题7.0分，共5分。）

PassageOne

11、Whyhasn'tthefur-sealpopulationincreased?

标准答案：Becauseofoverfishingandanailingecosystem.

知识点解析：第4段以海狗、海狮和海鸟的数量说明本段第2句提到的“从食物链

上较高的层次可以看到过渡捕捞和病态的生态环境的迹象”，这就表明，过度捕捞

和病态的生态环境是导致海狗数量上不去的原因。

12、WhydoenvironmentalgroupsliketheWorldWildlifeFundurgestrongeraction?

标准答案：Toprotectthehabitatofanimalslivingonthebottom.

知识点解析：根据题干信息定位到第6段。该段最后两句提到，很多拖网渔船拖拉

着渔网和其他工具穿梭在海床上，使得海底动物的栖息地遭到毁坏。虽然国际条约

对渔网的大小有限制，但是诸如世界野生动物基金会等环保团体还是建议采取更强

有力的措施，由此可见呼吁更有力的措施是为了保护海底动物的栖息地。

PassageTwo

13、WhydidAngelsandDemonsbegintosellwell?

标准答案：BecauseofthesuccessofTheDaVinciCode.

知识点解析：本题可先取据题干中的Brown'spreviousnovels定位到第6段。该段

开头的Thanks表明，《达芬奇密码》的巨大成功使得Brown之前创作的G说

的销量水涨船高。

14、WhathelpsLangdonfindoutthecluestotheimportantsecret?

标准答案：LeonardodaVinci'sart.

知识点解析：倒数第三段提到，达芬奇的艺术作品《蒙娜丽莎》《岩间圣母》以及

《最后的晚餐》都指示着Langdon发现更多的线索。再结合前面提到馆长死亡时

被放置得像达芬奇最著名的素描《维特鲁威人》以及达芬奇喜欢把信息藏在他自己

的作品当中，由此可以得出，达芬奇的艺术作品在帮助寻找重要秘密的线索起到重

要作用。

PassageThree

15、Whoshouldbebetterrecognizedinthefilmindustry,accordingtothepassage?

标准答案：ActorsandactressesOfminoritygroups.

知识点解析：文章从DenzelWashington和HalleBerry两位黑人演员获得奥斯卡金

像奖开始，讨论少数族裔演员在好莱坞的地位，直到第8段，SonnySkyhawk希望

更多的少数族裔的表演能得到认同，可见全文关注的就是“少数族裔的演员

B、theonewhohasdonewrongwillultimatelyapologizetoyou

C、youwillhavepowerovertheonewhohasdonewrongtoyou

D^youwillgraduallylosecontroloveryourmindandyourhealth

标准答案：D

知识点解析：题干的关键词foralongtime是原文第3段第4句中onachronicbasis

意。

2、Theauthorthinkswhenoneforgives,.

B、hetrieshisbesttofbrgetthebadexperience

C、hedoesnotclingtothepastbutwelcomesthebrightsideoflife

标准答案：C

知识点解析:C中的no〔clingtothepastbutwelcome...是第5段最后两句中

releasingtheanger和focusingonthegoodpartsofyourlife的另一种说法，因此为正

确答案。

3、Theauthormostprobablywantsto.

A、informthereader

B、instructthereader

C^comparetwowaysoftreatinganger

D、focusontheadvantageofforgiving

标准答案：B

知识点解析：从文章的小标题a)、b)和末段首句和末句可以看出，作者列举生气的

缺点和原谅的优点，都是为了最终引导读者对别人的伤害采取宽容的态度，因此，

本文的目的不是告诉读者信息，而是教导读者对待伤害应采取什么态度。由此可

见，B为本题答案。

4、Inallthethreeparts,whichparttellsthereaderthattoforgiveshowsone'sspiritual

5^Themolarfoundinajarisactually.

A、thesymboloftheroyalfamily

B、oneoftheinternalorgans

C>oneofthemummy'steeth

D、thecoffininwhichthemummylay

标准答案：c

知识点露析：本题解题的关键是要注意第5段第1-3句中冠词和代词的运用，第5

段第1句中，冠词a表明molar首次提到，第2句开头的It和第3句开头的冠词

ihe表明il和iheloolh指的就是molar,由此可见，本题应选C。

6、OtherEgyptologistswouldmostlikelytoagreethat.

A、themummywasamemberofroyalfamily

B、Hatshepsutpossiblydiedoffataldiseases

C、DNAtestingisunreliable

D、Hatshcpsufsrelationsarenowheretofind

标准答案：A

知识点解析•：第8段最后一句中木乃伊的左手放在胸前\这表示死者生前是皇室成

员，因此，无论最终是否能证明这具木乃伊是否Hatshepsul,现在起码能知道她为

皇室成员，因此A正确。第8段第2句提到那具木乃伊很可能患有糖尿病和肝

癌，这与B中的fataldiseases同义，但其他的埃及学家并不能确定这具木乃伊是不

是Hatshepsut,所以，即使那具木乃伊式的死于重病，也不等于Hapshepsut死于重

病，排除B；第9段的notcenain和第10段的cautious都表明埃及亭家对于

Hawass的研究结果抱怀疑的态度，但这并不等于DNA测试完全不可靠，C说得太

绝对：D与倒数第7段的内容相反。

7、HearingaboutHawass,identificationthemummyasHatshepsut,PaulEvansis

A^encouraged

B、cautious

C、arbitrary

D^proud

标准答案：B

知识点解析：倒数第6段中的条件从句if...表明PaulEvans还不能完全认可那

具木乃伊就是Hatshepsut,但他也没有对此表示否定，可见他的态度比较谨慎.所

以本题应选Bo从原文可以看出PaulEvans对Hawass的研究没有作正面的表态，
