第三篇
Recycling Around the World
Recycling is one of the best environmental success stories of the late 20th century.But we could do more.People must not see recycling as fashionable,but essential.
The Japanese are very good at recycling because they live in a crowded country. They do not have much space.They do not want to share their limited space with rubbish.But even so,Tokyo area alone is estimated to have three million tons of leftover rubbish at present.
In 1996, the United States recycled and composted(制成肥料)57 million tons of waste (27%of the nation's solid waste).This is 57 million tons of waste which did not go into landfills and incinerators(焚化炉).In doing this,7,000 rubbish collection programs and recycling centers helped the authorities.
In Rockford,a city in Illinois,U.S.,its officials choose one house each week and check its garbage(废物).If the garbage does not contain an newspapers or aluminum(铝)cans,then the resident of the house gets a prize of at least$1,000.
In Japan,certain cities give children weekly supplies of tissue paper and toilet paper in exchange for a weekly collection of newspapers.
In one year Britain recycles:
——1 out of every 3 newspapers.
——1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars(罐子).
——1 out of every 4 items of clothing.
——1 out of every 3 aluminum drink cans.
In 1999,Hong Kong transported 1.3 million tons of waste to mainland China for recycling. Around 535,000 tons of waste was recycled in Hong Kong itself.
Over half the things we throw away could be recycled.That means we could recycle 10 times as much as we do now.
However,recycling needs a lot of organization and special equipment. Also,there is not much use for some recycled material.
Which of the following is NOT true of Britain?
A:It recycles 1 out of every 3 newspapers each year.
B:It recycles 1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars each year.
C:It recycles 1 out of every 4 items of clothing each year.
D:It recycles 1 out of every 3 aluminum cans each year.
本题答案:
D解析:句子意思是“下面关于日本的哪一个描述是错误的”。答案是A项:他们回收了所有的垃圾。这个从常识上就是不可能的,而且文中提及:But even so, Tokyo area a-lone is estimated to have three million tons of leftover rubbish at present.
句子意思是“在1996年,美国回收了多少垃圾”。答案是5 700万吨。文中提及:In 1996, the United States recycled and composted(制成肥料)57 million tons of waste.
句子意思是“人们在哪里可以因为对垃圾回收做贡献而获得大奖”。答案是罗克福德。文中提及:In Rockford, a city in Illinois, US, its officials choose one house each week and check its garbage.If the garbage does not contain an newspapers or aluminum cans,then the resident of the house gets a prize of at least$1,000.
句子意思是“在日本,由孩子收集的报纸会……”文中提及:In Japan, certain cities give children weekly supplies of tissue paper and toilet paper in exchange for a weekly collection of newspapers.
句子意思是“关于英国的哪个描述是错误的”。这个比较容易,可以从文中的关于英国的列表中获得。In one year Britain recycles:——1 out of every 3 newspapers.——1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars(罐子).——1 out of every 4 items of clothing.——1 out of every 3 aluminum drink cans.注意,选项D中少了一个drink,故错误。

_________(58)
A:So
B:But
C:Since
D:And
本题答案:
B解析:本题考查对上下文的理解。本空所在句中,科学家和研究应该是动宾关系,但这里又不需要一个句子的结构,而需要名词结构作本句的主语,指“从事参与研究的科学家”。因此需要一个介词,既能表达参与的意思,又能确保这个短语为名词短语。只有behind符合,behind在此处意思是“在……背后,为……负责”。因此本题的正确选项应该是B。
本题考查对上下文的理解和对动词的辫析。这句话的意思是:参与此项新研究的科学家们把臭氧层加入标准化气候模型,以研究其如何影响风和雨的格局。本空前是to,后是how,根据上下文可以推断,这里是用不定式表达科学家所做的事情的目的,所以正确答案是选项C investigate调查。其他选项的意思分别是:选项A inspect监视;选项B scan扫描;选项D supervise监管。
本题考查对上下文的理解和对副词的辨析。这句话的意思是:科学家称降雨已向南极进一步移动,对澳大利亚的影响尤为强烈。这篇文章主要是关于南极臭氧层空洞的影响,作者提到具体影响的地点就应该是强调其影响之大,所以正确答案是选项A remarkably非常地。其他选项的意思分别是:选项B preferably更可取地、更好地;选项C indispensably不可缺少地、绝对必要地;选项D plausibly似真地。
本题考查对上下文的理解和介词短语固定搭配。这句话的意思是:科学家们尤为感兴趣的是南半球急流的南移。选A的依据是第一段最后一句:科学家称降雨已向南极进一步移动,所以第二段第一句所讲的interest应该是指科学家的兴趣,而此句后文证明本段讲的是科学家研究的更具体的内容,即南极臭氧空洞对于南半球急流的影响。空前是介词of,空后是名词interest, of particular interest的意思是尤其使人感兴趣的,符合上下文的需要,选项A particular特别的,是正确答案。其他选项的意思分别是:选项B special特别的,但不适用于of…interest这一短语;选项C especial特别的,但也不能和of以及interest组成固定搭配;选项D specific具体的。
本题考查对上下文的理解和形容词短语。这句话的意思是:这些高空风是决定南北半球气候模式的关键。选B的依据是本空的前面提到了风,后面提到了气候模式,常识告诉我们风影响甚至决定气候模式;又由于本空前是系动词are,本空后to后面跟的是动名词determining,而只有选项B key关键,能和前后词构成符合上下文需要的短语be key to是……的关键。所以选项B是正确答案。其他选项与to搭配后的意思分别是:选项A be beneficial to对……有益;选项C be necessary to对……而言必要;选项D be vital to对……至关重要。而这三个形容词后面的to都是不定式标志,其后要跟动词原形。
本题考查对上下文的理解和介词辫析。空后提到:the last couple of winters过去的几个冬天,是表示时间的名词短语。四个选项中,只有选项C能表示在……期间,所以选项C是正确答案。其他选项的意思分别是:选项A around大约(在);选项B along沿着;选项D across横跨。这三个选项不和时间连用,或者不强调时间跨度,不符合上下文需要。
本题考查对上下文的理解和动词辫析。这句话的意思是:这个研究团队发现,臭氧层空洞总体上导致了降雨随风向南移动。文章主题是臭氧层空洞会改变气候,而 rainfall属于气候范畴,由此可判断此处具体讲臭氧层空洞对降雨的影响。result in导致,符合上下文要求,所以选项A resulted是正确答案。其他选项与in搭配的动词原形意思分别是:选项B draw in到达、变短;选项C bring in产生;选项D drop in顺便拜访。
本题考查对上下文的理解和语义逻辑。这句话的意思是:但是存在着地区差异,尤其在澳大利亚上空。上一句讲整体上的(overall)情况而本句说到“有地区差异 ( regional differences)",两句为转折关系,选项B But的意思是但是,所以选项B是正确答案。
本题考查对上下文的理解和动词辫析。该句是上一句的例证,上一句说臭氧层空洞对降雨的影响有地区差异,所以此处是要表示“影响”的词,符合的只有选项A drive change推动变化,且文章主题(臭氧层空洞会改变气候模式)也是提示。所以选项A是正确答案。选项B attract吸引;选项C motivate激发、诱发;选项D include包括。
本题考查对上下文的理解和介词短语辫析。这句话的意思是:他们的模型表明,由温室气体排放所导致的全球变暖也是改变降雨格局的一个因素。greenhouse gas emissions"温室气体排放”是导致global warming“全球变暖”的原因,选项A due to的意思是由于,所以A是正确答案。其他选项的意思是:选项B along with和……一道;选项C as for至于;选项D instead of而不是。
本题考查对上下文的理解。这句话的意思是:自然气候周期也是一个很重要的因素,因为在臭氧消耗和20世纪末期全球变暖之前就发现有不同的降雨格局。选B的依据是:此处是被动句,表示“不同的降雨格局在……之前已经被‘留意到、观察到”,,因此选项B noted符合文意。此处为过去的客观事实,因此选项A predicted“预言、预测”不符合;选项 C occured“发生、出现、存在”语义符合,但它一般直接用主动语态;选项D descend“下降、下来”不符合题意。所以选项B是正确答案。
本题考查对上下文的理解和形容词辫析。这句话的意思是:虽然相关国际组织已经明显控制了有害气体的排放量,但这些有害气体还会在大气中留存几十年,因此它们的影响仍然存在。此处需修饰international organization的词,只有选项D corresponding相应的,符合题意,表示“相应的国际组织”。所以选项D是正确答案。其他选项的意思是:选项A popular流行的;选项B controversial有争议的;选项C distinctive独特的。
本题考查对上下文的理解和动词辫析。选D的依据是:本空后的so表明该句是下句的原因,下句说有害气体的影响还存在,由此可推断这些物质几十年来还留存在大气中,所以选项D endure是正确答案。其他选项的意思分别是:选项A flash闪烁;选项B fluctuate波动;选项C suffer遭受、遭殃。
本题考查对上下文的理解和名词辫析。本句的意思是:早前,一个国际机构预测:比北极臭氧层空洞更严重的南极臭氧层空洞将在2045年到2060年得到修复。more than说明是比较,此处把Antarctic ozone hole与在Northern Hemisphere的同类事物作比较,南北极的臭氧空洞属于对等物,所以选项C equivalent对等物、相等物是正确答案。其他选项的意思分别是:选项A illusion幻觉、错觉;选项B image形象;选项D extension延长部分。
本题考查对上下文的理解和动词辫析。选择D的依据是:此空所填动词的宾语是the Antarctic ozone hole“南极臭氧层空洞”,可以接此宾语的只有选项D repaired修复。选项A repeated重复;选项B reproduced繁殖、复制;选项C replaced代替。

Travel Across Africa
For six hours we shot through the barren(荒芜的)landscape of the Karoo desert in
South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending,Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth,a beautiful leather notebook I'd bought in a market in Mozambique.
Southern Africa was full of stories and visions.We were almost drunk on sensations,the roaring(咆哮)of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
And then the other things:dogs in the streets,whole families in Soweto living in one room,a kilometre from clean water.
As we drove towards the setting sun,a quietness fell over us. The road was empty一we hadn't seen another car for hours.And as I drove,something caught my eye,something moving close enough to touch them,to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.
I shouted to Dan:“Look!”But he was in a deep sleep,his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds,then disappeared far behind us,a memory of he- roic forms in the red landscape.
When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
”Wild horses?”he said.”Why didn't you wake me up,Sophia?”
”I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds.”
”Are you sure you didn't dream it?”
”You were the one who was sleeping!”
”Typical”,he said.”The best photos are the ones we never take.”
We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
The horses didn't come near the car.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned
本题答案:
B解析:题干意为“丹尼尔和索非亚开车慢慢地穿越热闹的沙漠”。利用题干中的名词 及名词短语 Daniel,Sophia,busy desert作为定位线索,在第一段找到相关句:For six hours we (指Daniel和Sophia) shot through the barren (荒芜的)landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa,该句意为“我们疾速行驶了6个小时穿越荒芜的南非卡鲁沙漠”。短文中提到的是“疾速行驶”而不是题干中的“慢慢开车”,短文中提到“荒芜的南非卡鲁沙漠”而不是题干中的“热闹的沙漠”,显然题干与短文陈述信息不一致。所以答案为B。该题涉及典型陷阱:偷梁换柱(用不一致的细节信息替换短文中原有的信息)。
题干意为“索非亚在笔记本中写下了她的经历”。利用题干中的名词Sophia, experiences, notebooks作为定位线索,在第一段找到相关句:Knowing our journey was ending,Daniel and I(指Sophia)just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I(指Sophia)used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth,相关句提到“为了记住我们所看见的一切和我们所做的一切,我(索非亚)用文字进行记录,而且已经写完了第三本笔记本,将开始写第四本”。由此可见题干陈述的意思与短文 相关内容一致。所以答案为A。
题干意为“丹尼尔拍了些尼罗河的照片”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语 Daniel , photos , the Nile Rive作为定位线索,结果发现“尼罗河”一词在短文中根本没有出现,因此“尼罗河”是短文中没有提及的信息。而且短文只在第一段提到丹尼尔用照相机记录他在 非洲的所见所闻,没有具体提到他用相机拍摄了什么,因此丹尼尔是否用相机拍摄了尼罗河的 照片是短文中未提及的信息。所以答案为C。
题干意为“丹尼尔和索非亚看到了很多精彩的东西”。利用题干中的名 词及名词短语Daniel, Sophia, a lot of wonderful things作为定位线索,结果发现第二段和第三段主要讲述他们在非洲看到了很多精彩的东西(咆哮的维多利亚瀑布等)。因此题干陈述的意义与短文中的相关意义一致。所以答案为A。题干其实就是对短文中相关 内容的概括总结。 提示:有的题干句是一个概括句,是对短文中相关内容的概括总结。
题干意为“在驾车途中,丹尼尔和索非亚看到了野马”。利用题干中的名词 及名词短语Daniel, Sophia, wild horses作为定位线索,这样找到相关句:When Daniel wokeup an hour later I(指Sophia)told him what had happened.”Wild horses?”he said.”Why didn't you wake me up,Sophia?”,相关句提到“一个小时后当丹尼尔醒过来的时候我告诉了他所发生的事情。他说‘野马?你为什么没有叫醒我呢?”,这表明丹尼尔没有看到野马,因此题干陈述的信息与短文相关信息不一致。所以答案为B。
题干意为“那些马没有靠近汽车”。利用题干中的名词horses, car作为定位 线索,这样找到相关句:And as I drove(与car呼应),something caught my eye, something moving close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath(与horses呼应),相关句意为 “在我开车的途中,有什么东西引起了我的注意,这个东西离我们很近,以至于我都能感受到它们(野马)呼出的热气”。由此可见那些野马曾经靠近过索非亚驾驶的汽车,因此题干陈述的意义与短文中的相关内容不一致。所以答案为B。
题干意为“索非亚唤醒了丹尼尔以便他能拍下那些野马的照片”。在解答第五题时曾经了解到这样的信息:一个小时后当丹尼尔醒过来的时候我(索非亚)告诉了他所发生的事情。这说明丹尼尔是自己醒过来的,而不是被索非亚叫醒的。可见题干陈述的信息与短文中的相关信息不一致。所以答案为B。

Cooking Oil Fumes Cause Tumor
The leading cause of lung cancer among women in the city was cooking oil fumes while men are more likely to develop the disease from smoking,said medical experts after a five-year research study.
Doctors announced the results yesterday with analysis on some new tendencies in lung cancer. They said patients are younger,especially women.
According to the Shanghai Tumor research Institute,more local residents die of lung cancer in the city than anything else.Following breast cancer,it has the second-highest incidence rate.
“An unhealthy lifestyle is a very important reason for lung cancer,”said Dr He Yumin from Shanghai Minshen Traditional Chinese Medicine Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Center.
He followed 2,276 lung cancer patients for five years.Among them,1,483 were male.
Smoking causes 70 percent of cases among men while only 18 percent of female patients developed cancer from smoking or inhaling second-hand smoke,according to the report.
However,more than 60 percent of women with the disease had long term,close contact with strong oil fumes from cooking and complained about irritated eyes and throat.
About 32 percent of women fried foods in boiling oil in unventilated kitchens and about 25 percent of women's bedrooms were adjacent to the kitchen.
However,local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer.
Some claimed they may change food preparation methods.
“Unless my family and I don't eat at home every day,I must stay in the kitchen to cook,”said Xu Li,a 45-year-old local woman. “I know the fumes are bad for the skin,but it is the first time I heard that it can result in lung cancer. I have already started frying less.”
Doctors said women's lung cancer had few links to personal health and physical condition,but was closely related to family cancer history,unhealthy dietary habits and weak immune systems.
Other experts agreed with him.
“Smoking is by far the biggest cause of lung cancer for men,”said Dr Tan Binyong, honorary president of the Respiratory Disease Institute at Fudan University's Medical College.“It's true that second-hand smoke and cooking fumes are the main causes among women.”
His research also warned people not to stand near of stalls selling fried foods due to the poor quality of oils used.
The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if exposed to the fume for a long time,6 experts said.
What a new tendency in lung cancer is concluded by the researchers?
A: Men are more likely to develop lung cancer than women.
B: Women are more likely to develop lung cancer than men.
C: Patients with lung cancer become older,especially males.
D: Patients with lung cancer become younger,especially females.
本题答案:
D解析:题干意为“研究者总结出的一种肺癌的新趋势是什么?”利用题干中的细节信息词/短语a new tendency, lung cancer, researchers作为定位线索,在短文第二段中找到 相关句:Doctors(与researchers呼应)announced the results yesterday with analysis on some new tendencies in lung cancer. They said patients are younger , especially women.第二段提到 “医生们昨天宣布这一结果,并对肺癌患病的一些新趋势做出了分析。他们认为病人越来越年轻化,尤其是女性患者”。由此可知D项“肺癌患者越来越年轻化,尤其是女性患者”。
题干意为“下面哪种疾病在上海居民中最常见?”利用题干中的细节信息词/短语local residents , Shanghai作为定位线索,同时关注题干中的修饰短语the most common 在短文中的出现情况,这样在短文第三段中找到相关句:According to the Shanghai Tumor research Institute,more local residents die of lung cancer in the city than anything else. Fol-lowing breast cancer,it has the second-highest incidence rate.定位线索词集中出现在第三段 中,该段提到“依据上海肿瘤研究所统计显示,上海死于肺癌的居民多于死于其他疾病的人。 肺癌排在乳腺癌之后,为第二高发病率的疾病”,可见乳腺癌是上海本地居民中最常见的疾病。因此答案为B项“乳腺癌”。
题干意为“大多数长期与厨房油烟接触的妇女可能会诉说什么症状?”利 用题干中的细节信息词/短语symptoms , most women , lung cancer , long term close contact作为定位线索,在第七段中找到相关句:However, more than 60 percent of women(与most women呼应)with the disease had long term close contact with strong oil fumes from cooking and complained about irritated eyes and throat.相关句意为“然而,60%以上患肺癌的女性都长期接触厨房油烟并诉说眼睛和喉咙疼痛难受”,因此答案为A项“眼睛和喉呢疼痛难受”。
题干意为“当地妇女了解到厨房油烟会导致癌症时,她们的反应是什么?”利用题干中的细节信息词/短语local women's reaction,cancer作为定位线索,在第九段中找 到相关句:However,local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer. Some claimed they may change food preparation methods.第九段提到“但是,当妇女们 知道厨房油烟可以致癌时都很惊讶,其中一些人表示要改变烹饪方法”。由此判断答案为B 项“吃惊的”。
题干意为“下面哪个选项的内容与女性肺癌的关联性很小?”利用题干中的细节信息词/短语relatively little connection,women's lung cancer作为定位线索,这样在倒数第五段中找到相关句:Doctors said women's lung cancer had few links to(与 relatively little connection呼应)personal health and physical condition, but was closely related to family cancer history,unhealthy dietary habits and weak immune systems.该段意为“医生们认为, 女性患肺癌和个人健康及身体状况联系极少,但是和肿瘤家族病史,不健康的饮食习惯和脆 弱的免疫系统联系紧密”。由此可知答案为D项“个人健康及身体状况”。

Music Used as a Healing Therapy
1 .Music has long been used to treat patients suffering from different problems.In 400 BC,its healing properties were documented by the ancient Greeks. More recently,in both world wars in the last century, medical workers used music therapy(疗法)with people suf-fering from trauma(外伤).Currently, it is used as a treatment for many diseases, such as cancer,and it has also been used with patients with long-term pain and learning disabilities.
2 .There is growing evidence that music can caused physical changes to the body which can im-prove our health. In the Welcome Trust study,which took place over three years at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital in London,patients were asked to listen to musical perform-ances. As a result,it was found that stress levels were significantly reduced,recovery times were improved,and fewer drugs were needed.
3. These very positive results are partly due to general well-being(良好的健康状况).It is already accepted that when people feel happy and have a positive approach to life,they are more likely to feel better and recover from disease quickly. Music increases this feeling of joy and adds to the recovery process.
4 .However,not all these benefits can be attributed to an increase in general well-being. Music has other effects which have not yet been understood. According to Professor Robert-son,a scientist and musician,some effects of music are mysterious and are,therefore,being investigated further. It has been suggested that the sounds and rhythms of music help stimu-late the brain and send electrical messages to the muscles.
5 .Science,however,demands facts and hard evidence. Many in the medical profession have not yet recognized the healing benefits of music,since reports have been based mainly on various stories of evidence. These new studies could provide proof to doctors that music is a suitable treatment for many conditions. One day doctors may even “prescribe”(开处方) music,but that could be a long time in the future.
Paragraph 4______
A: Potential Dangers of Music Therapy
B: Increase in General WellBeing
C: History of Music Therapy
D: Other Mysterious Effects of Music
E: Positive Physical Changes Caused by Music
F: Music and Your Body
本题答案:
D解析:文章第一段第一句是主题句,意为:长期以来,音乐都被用于治疗不同疾病 的患者。C项History of music therapy(音乐疗法的历史)与主题句意思相符,故选C。
文章第二段第一句是主题句,意为:越来越多的证据表明,音乐能引起一些 身体变化,这些变化可以改善我们的健康状况。E项Positive Physical Changes Caused by Music(音乐引起的积极的身体变化)与主题句意思相符,故选E。
文章第三段主要讲这些正面结果的部分原因来自于总体幸福感。当人们感到高兴并且生活态度积极时,人们自身的感觉会更好,并且能很快地从疾病中恢复过来,而音 乐能增加这样的愉悦感。B项Increase in General Well-Being(提高总体幸福感)符合本段主题,故选B。
文章第四段主要讲,音乐疗法的益处并不都来自于幸福感的提升,音乐的其他作用到现在还没有被弄明白,罗伯森教授说,音乐的一些作用是很神秘的。D项Other Mysterious Effects of Music(音乐的其他神秘作用)符合本段主题,故选D。
题干意为“研究人员已经发现,当病人收听音乐表演的时候,他们的压力水平会下降。”文章第二段最后一句指出,病人的压力水平明显减低,恢复的时间缩短,需要的药物减少。E项listen to musical performances(收听音乐表演)与原句意思相符,故选E。
题干意为“音乐能够治疗患者的部分原因是因为它能提高总体幸福感。”文章第三段第一句指出,这些正面结果的部分原因来自于总体幸福感。最后一句指出,音乐能增强人的愉悦感,加快恢复进度。D项it improves general well-being(它能提高总体幸福感)与原句意思相符,故选D。
题干意为“那些总是看到生活中积极一面的人更有可能从疾病中很快地恢复过来。”文章第三段第二句指出,当人们感到高兴以及生活态度积极时,人们自身的感觉会更好,并且能很快地从疾病中恢复过来,A项recover from disease quickly(从疾病中快速地恢复过来)与原句意思相符,故选A。
题干意为“很多医生不相信音乐可以治疗疾病是因为没有真凭实据。”文章第五段前两句指出,然而科学需要真凭实据,医学界的很多人并不认可音乐的治疗作用,因为相关报告主要是基于各种不同的故事。B项there is not enough hard evidence(没有真凭实据)与原句意思相符,故选B。

Sharks Perform a Service for Earth's Waters
It is hard to get people to think of sharks as anything but a deadly enemy. They are thought to1people frequently. But these fish perform a2service for earth's waters and for human beings. Yet business and sport fishing are threatening their3.Some sharks are at risk of disappearing from4.
Warm weather may influence both fish and shark activity. Many fish swim near coastal areas5their warm waters. Experts say sharks may follow the fish into the same areas,6people also swim. In fact,most sharks do not purposely charge at or bite humans. They are thought to mistake a person7a sea animal,such as a seal or sea lion. That is why people should not swim in the ocean when the sun goes down or comes up.Those are the8 when sharks are looking for food. Experts also say that bright colors and shiny jewelry may cause sharks to attack.
A shark has an extremely good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of substances in wa-ter,such as blood,body liquids and9 produced by animals. These powerful10help sharks find their food. Sharks eat fish,any11sharks,and plants that live in the ocean.
Medical researchers want to learn more about the shark's body defense,and immune 12against disease. Researchers know that sharks13quickly from injuries. They study the shark in hopes of finding a way to fight human disease.
Sharks are important for the world's14.They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in ocean waters do not become too15.This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.
9._________
A: sciences
B: mathematics
C: chemicals
D: physics
本题答案:
C解析:本题应选择attack,因为第一句提到:人们认为鲨鱼是a deadly enemy,也就是说些鱼会对人类造成伤害。第二句是对deadly enemy的具体说明。其他的三个选项meet , love , visit 都不合适,love与上下文意思相反,meet和visit与上下文意思不符。所以答案为A。
空格2所在的句子由but连接,所以该句子表达的意思一定与第二句相反。第二句对置鱼的评价是负面的,填入空格2的词应该是正面的。四个选项中只有C项valua- ble符合这一条件,所以C项是答案。
第三句提到笠鱼有益于waters and human beings,第五句又提到鲨鱼濒临灭绝的危险。根据上下文的意思,threatening“威胁”到它们的应该是existence“生存”。其他的三个选项source , friends , fish都不合适,与上下文意思没有联系。所以答案为B。
如果置鱼消失,从什么地方消失呢? 当然从earth“地球”上消失。从space “宇宙空间”、sky“天空”中消失,或从1and“ 陆地”上消失,都有悖常理。所以答案为D。
四个选项的意思都是“因为”,但是从用法上分析,because、 since和by rea- son that之后要接句子,because of之后接名词或名词短语。their warm waters是名词短语,所以要选用C项because of。
... people also swim明显是定语从句,其先行词是表示地点的名词area,所以要选关系副词where。所以答案为D。
从上下文判断,本句的意思是:置鱼将人错认为是海洋动物。而“将……错认为是”的英语表达是mistake...for,所以本题的答案是B项。
本段的意思是:置鱼并非故意袭击人类。人们认为,由于置鱼将人错认为是海狮等海洋动物,在饥俄时才袭击人类。日出和日落时,正是鳌鱼饥肠辘辘的时候,人们不应该出海游泳。空格8填入的词应该与时间有关,所以times是答案,而与地点有关的选项 places , seas , oceans与上下文意思脱节。所以答案为A。
本段第一、二句提到置鱼的嗅觉特别灵敏,能嗅到海水中存在的极为微量的气味。作者举了三个物质:血、体液和化学品。空格9要填入表示物质的名词。四个选项中唯一表达物质的词是chemicals“化学品”。所以C项chemicals是答案,而其他三个选项与学科有关,脱离了上下文的意思,不是本题的答案。
在第一、二句意思的基础上,作者进一步说明,灵敏的嗅觉有助于鲨鱼找到食物。所以本题的答案是D项senses,因为feelings , touches和tastes都与smells无关。
本句的中心词是复数的sharks , another所修饰的名词一般是单数,所以不会是答案。these和those是表特指的代词,指代前面出现过的名词。由于前面没有先行词,所以也不可能是答案。剩下的other是答案,any other sharks的说法也合乎英语的用法。所以答案为D。
从上下文判断,医学研究人员想要更多了解的是“身体抗病system(系统)”,不会是“身体抗病idea(思想)”、“身体杭病工作(work)”或“身体杭病circle(周期)”。所以答案为A。
本段最后一句意为:医学研究人员研究置鱼的目的是为了找到一种人类抗病的方法。所以空格13所在句子的意思应该是recover (quickly from injuries)。科学家想要探究的应该是有关受伤鲨鱼recover quickly from injuries的原因,而reform“改造”' return“回归”和rely“依靠”只是与答案recover词形上有点相似而已,其意思与上下文的意思风马牛不相及。所以答案为A。
从上下文判断,置鱼的存在能使oceans得益。置鱼不生活在rivers、 forests 或mountains中,所以这三个选项不合适。因此答案为B。
本段的其余三句都是说明为什么置鱼有益于海洋。它们吃海洋动物,结果使得海洋中的动物数量不会过多。weak、 little、 few都与上面表达的意思相反,所以只有D项 great是答案。

The dentist has decided to extract your bad tooth.
A:take out
B:repair
C:pull
D:dig
本题答案:
A解析:本题考查的是对动词的认知。这句话的意思是:牙医决定拔掉你的坏牙。 extract的意思是拔出,例如:He tried to extract his pole from the mud.他试图用力将杆子从泥中拔出来。选项A take out取出、拔出,例如:How many teeth did the dentist take out? 牙科医生给患者拔了几颗牙?选项B repair修理。选项C pull拉,但只有pull out才能表示拔出。选项D dig挖掘。extract和take out意思最接近,所以选A。

So Many"Earths"
The Milky Way(银河)contains billions of Earth-sized planets that could support life.That's the finding of a new study.It draws on data that came from NASA's top planet-hunting telescope.
A mechanical failure recently put that Kepler space telescope out of service.Kepler had played a big role in creating a census of planets orbiting some 170,000 stars.Its data have been helping astronomers predict how common planets are in our galaxy.The telescope focused on hunting planets that might have conditions similar to those on Earth.
The authors of a study,published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,conclude that between 14 and 30 out of every 100 stars,with a mass and temperature similar to the Sun,may host a planet that could support life as we know it.Such a planet would have a diameter at least as large as Earth's,but no more than twice that big.The planet also would have to orbit in a star's habitable zone.That's where the surface temperature would allow any water to exist as a liquid.
The new estimate of how many planets might fit these conditions comes from studying more than 42,000 stars and identifying suitable worlds orbiting them.The scientists used those numbers to extrapolate(推算) to the rest of the stars that the telescope could not see.
The estimate is rough,the authors admit.If applied to the solar system,it would define as habitable a zone starting as close to the Sun as Venus and running to as far away as Mars.Neither planet is Earthlike (although either might have been in the distant past).Using tighter limits,the researchers estimate that between 4 and 8 out of every 100 sunlike stars could host an Earth-sized world.These are ones that would take 200 to 400 days to complete a yearly orbit.
Four out of every 100 sunlike stars doesn't sound like a big number.It would mean,however,that the Milky Way could host more than a billion Earth-sized planets with a chance for life.
The Kepler space telescope has been in service for 15 years.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
本题答案:
C解析:第二段第一句表明,近来的机械故障使开普勒太空望远镜不再为我们服务,通篇并没有提到开普勒太空望远镜为我们服务了多少年,所以选择C项。
第二段最后一句表明,开普勒太空望远镜主要关注与地球有相似环境的星球,所以选择A项。
第三段第二句表明,可以让生命存在的星球的直径至少要和地球的直径一样大,但不会超过地球直径的两倍。由此不难推断出其应该不比地球小,所以选择B项。
第三段第三、四句表明,适合人类居住的星球必须与它所环绕的恒星有一个适于居住的距离,以保证星球表面的温度能够允许液态水的存在。地球不仅适合人类居住,而且还绕着太阳运行。由此可知,题干表述正确。
第四段第一句表明,该项新评估源于对超过4.2万颗星球的分析,而非源于对17万颗星球的分析,所以选择B项。
第五段第一句表明,研究人员承认这项评估是粗糙的,即不精确的,所以选择A项。
文章第一段指出,这次的调查结果是新的发现,但通篇文章并未提到这是对可能有生命存在的星球的首次研究。
