【干扰项排除】A、B、D选项均不符合语境。

【句意】有一种看法认为，管理层只想削减成本。

12.单选题

Itwasbroadcastontheradiothattrainstothecityweredelayedduetotheexceptionallyheavyrainfloodedanearbyareaeastofit.

问题1选项

A.onthe

B.to

C.flooded

D.eastofit

【答案】C

【解析】考查语法。Dueto后面只能跟名词、动名词或者名词性短语，所以floodedanearbyareaeastofit只能做heavyrain的定语，修饰heavyrain；而heavyrain和flood之间是主动的关系，所以不能用flooded，而要用flooding。句意：电台广播说，由于特大暴雨淹没了该市东部附近地区，前往该市的火车延误了。因此，该题选择C项。

13.单选题

A.enlarged

B.expanded

C.extended

D.contracted

【答案】B

【解析】句意:通过开设分公司，这家公司扩大了其在斯坦福德的运营规模。

考查动词辨析。四个选项均为对应动词的过去分词形式。Enlarge使增大，扩展（主要指面积或体积等的扩大）;expand扩张,使膨胀（指范围、程度、体积和尺寸等方面的扩大或增加）;extend延伸，扩大，推广（指时间或空间的延长）;contract订约,使缩短。由关键词operations可知这里指扩大运营规模。故选B。

）hadbeendamagedbytheflood,weregivenhelpbytheRedCross.

问题1选项

A.alltheirhomes

B.allwhosehomes

C.allofwhosehomes

D.alloftheirhomes

【答案】C

【解析】考查非限制定语从句。本句的主干为TheresidentsweregivenhelpbytheRedCross.“_______hadbeendamagedbytheflood”前后有逗号，为非限制性定语从句，先行词theresidents与home之间是所属关系，故用关系代词whose，whosehomes作为一个整体充当介词of的宾语。句意：所有房屋都被洪水破坏的居民得到了红十字会的帮助。

15.单选题

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:B

第3题:C

第4题:D

第5题:A

【解析】1.文章第一句为中心句，根据“Astrophysicistswrestlingwiththestudyofanewkingofstar,theflat,‘two-dimensional”Configurationsknownasaccretiondiskshaverecentlygainednewinsightsintothebehaviorofthesestars.天体物理学家们正在努力研究一种新的恒星之王——扁平的“二维”吸积盘，最近对这些恒星的行为有了新的认识。”确定本文主要介绍吸积盘及最新研究。C选项符合题意。

2.根据文章第一段倒数第二句“Themodelingofaccretiondisksisstillinitsinfancy,asituationanalogoustothedayswhenordinarystarsweremodeledbyusingelementaryscalinglawswithoutbenefitofknowledgeofthenuclearprocessesthatpowerthestars.吸积盘的建模仍处于初级阶段，类似于普通恒星使用基本尺度定律建模的日子，而不需要了解恒星的核反应过程。‘确定B选项‘它有助于对普通恒星进行更精确的建模。‘正确。选项A,C不符作者suggest的意思，D项表达表达有误，作者只是用吸积盘建模和普通星体在元素标度律建模方面两者具有一致性而没有比较两者之间是谁落后谁的问题。

3.根据文章倒数第二段头两句TherapidadvancesmadeinX-rayastronomyinthepastdecadehaveidentifiedasecondtypeofsysteminwhichaccretiondisksoccur.Insuchasystem,anaccretiondiskwhirlsaboutaneutronstatratherthanawhitedwarf.在过去的十年里，x射线天文学的快速发展已经确定了吸积盘发生的第二种类型的系统。在这样的系统中，一个吸积盘围绕一个中子stat旋转，而不是一个白矮星。，即Abramowiczhasshownthatindicatingthatitispossiblethatthesepredictedinstabilitiesdonotoccur,理论与实际的不相符合，即可选出正确答案为C选项’由于缺乏关于吸积盘不稳定性的观测证据，这表明对其发生的预测可能是错误的。‘符合题意。A，D选项表达没有错误，但不符合作者的suggest；B选项表述错误。

4.根据文章第二段第二句:“Inthesesystems,matterfromtheouterlayersofanordinarystarisattractedbythegravitationalinfluenceofanearbyorbitingwhitedwarfstar,thematterlostfromtheordinarystarcannotstrikethesurfaceofthetinywhitedwarfdirectlybutsettlesintoanorbitaroundthestar.在这些系统中，来自普通恒星外层的物质受到附近环绕白矮星的引力影响而被吸引，普通恒星失去的物质不能直接撞击微小白矮星的表面，而是进入围绕恒星的轨道。”确定D选项正确。

5.文章最后一句“Abramowicz’workisavaluableexampleofthecarethatmustbetakenbeforereachingconclusionsregardingaccretiondisks.阿布拉莫维奇的工作是一个很有价值的例子，说明在得出关于吸积盘的结论之前必须小心谨慎。”表明Abramowicz是理论与实际不符的，所以A选项‘建议解决理论预测与实际观测之间的差异‘符合题意。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:B

第3题:C

第4题:A

第5题:C

【解析】1.细节事实题。第一段指出:Integrityhadcollapsed,sheargued,becauseofacollectiveacceptancethattheonly“sortingmeclianisni”insocietyshouldbeprofitandthemarket(她（即Elisabeth）声称，由于我们集体性地接受社会中唯一的‘分类机制’应该是利润和市场，所以诚实己经瓦解)。因此可知A项“现在的分类机制的后果”正确。

2.判断推理题。由第三段中“Othersawaittrial.Thissagastillunfolds.其它的记者窃听电话案件等候着审判。这类传说仍然在发生。”的对应可推知B项“更多的记者可能被判电话窃听罪”正确。A项“GlennMulcaire可能否定电话窃听是一种犯罪”；C项“对于该指控（即电话窃听），AndyCoulson应该被认为是无罪的”；D项“电话窃听在某些情况下将会被接受”。

3.推理判断题。最后一段指出:MsBrooksmayormaynothavehadsuspicionsabouthowherjournalistsgottheirstories,butsheaskednoquestions,gavenoinstructions—norreceivedtraceable,recordedanswers(虽然布鲁克斯（Brooks）女士可能或可能没有怀疑她的记者们如何获取他们的新闻故事，但是她没有问任何问题、给出任何指示一也没有得到可追踪的有记录的答案)。由此可推知C项“几乎是不令人信服的”正确。

4.判断推理题。由题干关键词collectivedoctrine定位至倒数第二段:Forageneration,thecollectivedoctrinehasbeenthatthesortingmechanismofsocietyshouldbeprofit.Thewordsthathavematteredareefficiency,flexibility,shareholdervalue,business-friendlywealthgeneration,sales,impactand,innewspapers,circulation(对这一代人而言，集体信条是社会的分类机制应该是利润。重要的言语是效率、灵活性、股东利益、有利营商的财富产生、销售额、影响，而在报社方面就是发行量)与最后一段:ThepurposeofeditingtheNewsoftheWorldwasnottopromotereaderunderstanding,tobefairinwhatwaswrittenortobetrayanycommonhumanity.Itwastoruinlivesinthequestforcirculationandimpact(编辑世界新闻的目的不是去促进读者了解、在所撰写的新闻方面保持公正或显露任何共同的人性，而是为了追求发行量和影响而毁掉生活),由此可推知A项“通常被扭曲的价值观”正确。

5.判断推理题。最后一段指出:ThepurposeofeditingtheNewsoftheWorldwasnottopromotereaderunderstanding,tobefairinwhatwaswrittenortobetrayanycommonhumanity.Itwastoruinlivesinthequestforcirculationandimpact.编辑世界新闻的目的不是去促进读者了解、在所撰写的新闻方面保持公正或显露任何共同的人性，而是为了追求发行量和影响而毁掉生活),由此可知C项“在报纸编辑中道德意识是重要的”正确。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:C

第3题:D

第4题:C

第5题:A

【解析】1.细节事实题。由题干关键词humiliated定位至第三段:Theweakdollarisasourceofhumiliation,foranation'sself-esteemrestsinpartonthestrengthofitscurrency(美元贬值是一种耻辱之源，因为一个国家的自尊在一定程度上取决于其货币的实力)。故选B(货币贬值)。

2.细节事实题。第三段指出:It'salsoapotentialeconomicproblem,sinceadecliningdollarmakesimportedfoodmoreexpensiveandexertsupwardpressureoninterestrates(由于美元日益贬值，使得进口商品的价格上涨，对利率的压力也不断增大),故选C(当购买进口商品时，需要支付更多费用)。

3.细节事实题。根据题干定位至第四段:ManyEuropeansnowapparentlyviewtheU.S.thewaymanyAmericansviewMexico—asacheapplacetovacation,shopandparty(现在，许多欧洲人眼中的美国显然就像美国人心中的墨西哥一样个价格低的旅游、购物和聚会的好去处)。故选D(他们认为美国是一个好的旅游目的地)。

4.判断推理题。文章最后一段指出:Soifyouwanttoavoidthepaininflictedbytheincreasinglypatheticdollar,cancelthatsummervacationtoEnglandandlooktoNewEngland.There,thedollarisstilltreatedwithalittlerespect(所以，如果你打算避免因为美元持续贬值而带来的伤痛，那么取消今年暑假的英国之旅，转而前往新英格兰州吧。在那里，美元还能保留一丝尊严)。新英格兰州属于美国,故选C(他们在国内度假，而非国外)。

5.语义题。根据题干关键词"currenciesdon’tturnonadime”定位至最后一段,其前一句为:Thedollarloststrengththewaymanymarriagesbreakup—slowly,andthenallatonce(美元疲软就像许多婚姻走向破裂的过程一样先是慢慢的，然后突然爆发)。"turnonadime"本意为“短时间内发生急剧转变”,故选A(美元短时间内不会升值)。

21.单选题

Ihopeyoudon’tthinkI’m（）butI’vehadtheelectricfireonformostoftheday.

问题1选项

A.exquisite

B.extravagant

C.exotic

D.eccentric

【答案】B

【解析】考查形容词词义辨析。A选项exquisite“精致的”；B选项extravagant“浪费的”；C选项exotic“异国的”；D选项eccentric“古怪的”。句意：我几乎一整天都开着电炉，希望你不会觉得我浪费。本句表示开一天电炉很浪费，因此B选项正确。
