4、rees; the critical angle, the angle at which the human incidence of avalanchesis greatest, is 38 degrees. The rule of thumb is: A slope that is_9_ enough to hold snow but steepenough to ski has the potential to generate an avalanche,regardless of the angle. Additionally,avalanche risk increases with

AmissingBgrownCbigDfresh答案与题解：1 A表示 雪崩是山上可能发生的最大危险之一的意思，因此应该选择among（在之中）。“”2 B从该句的语法结构上来看，此处需要一个关系代词，代替slope，因此 that 是最佳选择。选项 A 、 C 、D 均不符合语法。 料 供参考3 B选项 A 不符合语法， C 和 D 符合语法，但不符合常识：过度的雪的积压可能导致雪崩，而不是必定导致雪崩。因此

11、，B 是最佳答案。4.C该句的主语是Determining the critical load，从上下文来看应该使用 般现在时，因此C 是正确答案。5 C 要确定本 答案的一个有效的方法是排除法。a low weigh /form work of avalanche都不合 ，只有a low risk ofavalanche符合上下文的意思。下面的句子解 了low risk ofavalanche的道理，更证实了选risk是正确的。6.D第 6 和第 7 能 一起考 。整个句子的意思是：在 陡峭的坡面上，雪不会大量堆 。在 平坦的坡面，雪不会 易滑 。7.B（ 6）8.B理解了句子的意思就不难判

12、断选项：雪在静止状态下，角度在35 - 45 度之间，最可能发生人为触发的雪崩。between：在 之间。9.C 个句子 明的是什么 的山坡最易 生雪崩，即，A slope that is flat enough to hold snow but steep enough to ski。flat 在此做 “平坦 ”解，与后面的 steep 形成反 。10.A句中的 that is 表明，后半部分是对前半部分的进一步说明。因此，这里的选择要根据下文的意思判断。 use 是最佳选择，整个句子的意思是：山坡被滑雪者使用的越多，雪崩就越可能发生。11.D尽管选项 A 、 B 和 D 都能和 conti

13、nuous 搭配，从全段的内容判断，只有process 是最佳选择，因为该段描写的是如何防备雪崩，及如何做好安全措施等一系列问题。12.A选项 A 、B 、C 都能够与 weather 搭配，可是根据上下文，只有 A 最为符合文章的内容。13.B选项 A 不符合句子的意思； C 不能和 risk 搭配； D 也不符合句子的意思，因为不可能完全消除雪崩的隐患。14.C该句主句使用的是被动语态，第二个动词是pay attention to的被动形式。选项A 、B 、D 均不符合句子的意思。15.A该句是作者给出的一系列忠告之一，即，认真观察地形，注意明显的雪崩路径：没有植物或植物被毁坏的地方。选项

14、B 、C 、D 均不符合句义。Free Statins WithFast Food CouldNeutralizeHeart RiskFast food outlets could providestatin drugs free of_1_ so that customers heart disease dangers of fatty food, researchers at Imperial College London study资料仅供参考_2_in a new study.Statins reduce the _3_of unhealthy LDL cholesterol in t
