1、TheLatinopopulationischangingArizona's.

A、agingproblem

B、educationalsystem

C、economicstructure

D、financialdeficits

标准答案：C

知识点解析：事实细节题。第一段最后一句中的reorienting与题干中的changing为

近义词，而该句表明拉丁裔人口在两方面改变着亚利桑那州，C项就是其中的一个

方面。

2、WhatcanbeinferredfromParagraph3?

A、TheLatinopopulationinArizonaismadeupofHispanicsandMexican-Americans.

B、Thefirst-generationLatinosareimmigrantsinsteadofbeingborninAmerica.

C^70percentofthefirst-generationLatinoshadlessschoolingthannineyears.

D、Theeducationalsystemusedtobeinfavorofthenon-HispanicWhites.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：推理判断题V第三段第三句表明第二代墨西哥裔美国人比他们的父母

获得更好的教育，而这一句是为了举例说明第二句提到的在Arizona出生的拉丁裔

和他们的移民父母之间的区别，由此可见，第二句提到的immigranlparents就是第

一代的拉丁裔美国人，immigrant一词表明他们并非在美国出生，因此B项为正确

的推断。

3、"educationaldeficits"(Para.4)mostprobablymeansthat.

A^thestatedidnotputmuchmoneyintoeducation

B、manyLatinosaretoopoortoobtaineducation

C、educationisnotaprofitableenterprise

D^manyLatinosarenotwell-educated

标准答案：D

知识点解析：语义理解题。第四段第五句开头的Asaresull表明本句与上一句形成

因果关系，由此可见，本句中的educationaldeficits与上一句提到的拉丁裔美国人

受教育程度较低有关，由此可推断，educationaldeficits指的应该是受教育不足。

因此，D项为正确的理解。

4、Accordingtotheauthor,Arizonashouldgivehighestpriorityto.

A^controllingtheLatinopopulation

B、enhancingtheeducationalleveloftheLatinopopulation

C^improvingtheknowledge-basedeconomy

D、buildingtheLatinopopulationintohardworkingandskilledworkforce

标准答案：B

知识点解析：观点态度题c第五段第一句中的movetothecenter与题干中的give

higlrestpriority为同义表达，B项与原文该句的主语educationaluplift意思也一致,

因此B项为本题答案。

5、Itisimpliedthat,inthelongrun,mostLatinosinArizonawill.

A、bejobless

B、bebadly-paid

C、dolow-skilljobs

D、dohigh-skilljobs

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推理判断题。第四段最后一句中的ill—prepared和第五段最后一句中

的shortagesofLatinoseducationallyready都表明从长远来看，拉丁裔美国人受的教

育仍然保持较低的水平，由此可推断，他们只能做一些技术要求不高的工作，所以

C项为本题答案。

6、Wecaninferfromthefirsttwoparagraphsthattheindustrialistsdisregard

environmentalprotectionchieflybecause.

A、theyareunawareoftheconsequencesofwhattheyaredoing

B>theyarereluctanttosacrificetheirowneconomicinterests

C>timehasnotyetcomeforthemtoputdueemphasisonit

D^itisdifficultforthemtotakeeffectivemeasures

标准答案：B

知识点解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段和第二段：个人和企业拒绝和长期拖延

在防治污染方面承担责任或采取行动。似乎只有政府下决心提供税收优惠政策或牺

牲生产，情况才会开始有所改变。由此可得出企业忽视环境保护主要是考虑其经济

效益。因此，只有B项与文中所表达的意思相符。

7、Themaintasknowfacingecologists,environmentalactivistsandconservationists

A、topreventpollutionbylegislation,economicincentivesandpersuasion

toarousepublicawarenessoftheimportanceofenvironmentalprotection

C、totakeradicalmeasurestocontrolenvironmentalpollution

D、toimprovethequalityoflifebyenforcingenvironmentalstandards

标准答案：

知识/解析B：细节理解题。根据文章第三段：生态学者、环境保护积极分子和自然

资源保护论者应积极与人们交流思想，激起人们思考环境问题，并促进人们的行为

发生变化。B项与文中所提及的内容一致，故而正确。

8、Theword^tunnel-visioned'1(Para.4)mostprobablymeans"

A、narrow-minded

B、blindtothefacts

C、short-sighted

D、abletoseeonlyoneaspect

标准答案：D

知识点解析：词义理解题。从字面上看，lunnel的意思是“隧道”，vision的意思是

“洞察力，视力”，它们构成一个合成词。再结合文章第四段：在方法上，我们再也

不能tunncl-visioilcd,我们必须从各个方面对待问题，并做出客观的决定。根据这

段话，可推断lunnel-visioned是“从各个方面看问题的“反义词，再结合字面意思，

可猜测该词的意思是“片面地看问题的因此，D项正确。

9、Whichofthefollowing,accordingtotheauthor,shouldplaytheleadingroleinthe

solutionofenvironmentalproblems?

A、Legislationandgovernmentintervention.

Theindustry'sunderstandingandsupport.

CNTheeffortsofenvironmentalhealthprofessionals.

D、Thecooperationofecologists,environmentalactivistsandconservationists.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段第三句：环保专业人员走在前头，在解

决环境问题中起领导作用的时机已经到来。第三段最后一句又指出：我们这些拿薪

水为环保工作的发展、堤高出谋划策并执行环境标准的人必须承担起领头的责任。

因此，C项与文中所提及的内容一致，故而正确。

10>Whichofthefollowingistrueaccordingtothelastparagraph?

A、Effortsshouldbeexertedonpollutionpreventioninsteadofonremedialmeasures.

B、Moremoneyshouldbespentinordertostoppollution.

C、Ordinarycitizenshavenoaccesstotechnicalinformationonpollution.

D、Environmentaldegradationwillbestoppedbytheendofthisdecade.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一句：如果这1U年我们能实现这三个目

标，也许最终我们能阻止而不是暂时抑制环境的恶化。那么我们也就不用采取补救

措施，而且能将治理污染的费用真正用于保护环境。bandage原义为“绷带”，这里

取比喻义，意为“治疗，补救”。因此，A项与文中所表达的意思一致，因而正确。

D、havebeenheavilyrelyingonads

A^newspaperindustryisindepression

B、nowisarivaltotheNewYorkTimes

15、Theauthorwouldmostlikelyagreethat.

A、newspaperindustrywilldisappearsoon

B>newspapersshouldstrivetoattractpeople

C>nomorewriterswouldlosetheirjobsinfuture

D^technologyhelpsnewspaperattractmorereaders

意付钱购买的新闻，也就是，报业需要想办法吸引人。所以B项正确。
