a. china. b. india. c. iran. d. germany. 37. the government of japan intended to increase its nuclear energy in 2017 by _ compared with 2011. a. 29%. b. 40%. c. 69%. d. 11%. 38. which of the following statements about the use of nuclear power in the u. s. is true?

a. the nuclear crisis in japan has spread to other parts of the world. b. the situation of the world nuclear power development after the crisis in japan. c. japans nuclear disaster will slow the expansion of nuclear plants all over the world. d. japans nuclear disaster wont affect the nuclear energy production in other countries. 40. from the last sentence of the passage, we can see the writers attitude towards building a nuclear power plant near bushehr, iran is _ . a. supportiveb. optimisticc. negatived. uncertain答案解析【文章大意】大千世界，芸芸众生，每个人都有其特殊的、不可替代的作用。肯定他人的价值并相互合作，我们才能拥有最美好的生活。1【解析】选b。前文说他们兄弟五个生活在一起，而且是孤儿。显然这些稻田都是父母去世后留下的，故选b项。inherit“继承”。 2【解析】选a。第一段说他们的稻田离家很远，所以他们要早出晚归。因此这里承接上文，他们一致同意让最小的弟弟留下来收拾家。agree“同意，达成一致”。3【解析】选a。从后文知，弟弟在家做饭，洗衣服，收拾房间，因此选house。4【解析】选c。前面提到大家一致同意小弟弟留下来，这是大家的决定，故选decision。5【解析】选a。这里说弟弟把家里收拾得干净舒适。comfortable 与clean和tidy相照应。6【解析】选a。本句意为：吃的和喝的都已经摆在桌子上。serve服务，上菜，符合文意。其他三项均不符合语境。7【解析】选d。make the bed铺床。8【解析】选a。本段叙述的是小弟弟在家里把吃、穿、住这几个方面的工作都做得井井有条。这里指洗衣服，是穿衣方面的，故选a项。9.【解析】选b。从后文知其中一位哥哥说小弟弟的工作太容易，可见这位哥哥嫉妒他的工作。satisfied满意的；jealous羡慕的，嫉妒的；accustomed习惯的；conscious清醒的，意识到的。根据句意可知应选b。10【解析】选a。句意为：所以他对其他的兄弟说，小弟弟的工作太容易，他也应该下地干活。11【解析】选b。前面说小弟弟把家里收拾得整洁舒适，而这里说家里乱糟糟一团，故前后为转折关系。12【解析】选d。由上下文可知，此处应选d。in a mess“一团糟”；in order“井然有序”；in place“在适当的位置”；in fashion“流行中”。13【解析】选b。桌子上空空的，没有饭，所以他们意识到了小弟弟工作的重要性。empty“空的”。14【解析】选b。句意为：他们低估了小弟弟对这个家庭所做出的贡献。contribution“贡献”。15.【解析】选b。这里是总结上文，意思是：那么我们从这个故事中能得到什么启示呢？故选b。16【解析】选c。针对前面的故事，作者发表议论，所以永远也不要低估幕后的那些默默工作的人们。scene幕，屏幕，一幕。17【解析】选a。由上文中who is “useless”in your house可知，此处描述的是被认为无用的人，句意为：可能是你整天坐在那里的祖父或祖母。18.【解析】选b。从前文的who is “useless” in your house可知，这里说：我们或许会情不自禁地说出“你真没用！”的话。19【解析】选d。我们每个人都有独特的才能。unique独特的。20【解析】选b。所以只有通过合作我们才能充分利用我们的能力，享受我们的生活。by通过，表示方式；with用，后面接要使用的工具。【文章大意】文章讲述了一对新婚夫妇stefan 和 erika svanstrom在4个月的蜜月中经历了六次自然灾难的故事。21.【解析】选c。细节理解题。他们在蜜月期间到过澳大利亚、德国、新西兰、日本和中国。22.【解析】选b。细节理解题。在澳大利亚经历了洪水，在新西兰经历了地震，德国经历了暴风雪。在中国未提及经历自然灾害。23.【解析】选c。细节理解题。由文中第二至第四段可知他们的旅行路线。24.【解析】选a。推理判断题。由第三段作者对龙卷风的描述以及其破坏程度可知他们侥幸逃过了这次灾难。25.【解析】选d。推理判断题。由最后一段内容可知作者是乐观的。optimistic乐观的；indifferent冷漠的；depressed沮丧的；considerate考虑周到的。【文章大意】文章主要讲述了在一次聚会中，主人公见到了一只宠物熊摁车喇叭的故事。26.【解析】选a。细节理解题。从第一段第三句中so he was careful not to drink too much可知。27.【解析】选b。细节理解题。从第二段第三句thinking someone might be in trouble, he went over to the car from which the noise was coming. 可知。28.【解析】选b。细节理解题。从第四段第一句there were so many jokes about mr. daviess black bear
