【答案】第1题:A

第2题:C

第3题:D

第4题:C

【解析】1.细节题。根据题干关键词psychologicalwarfare定位至第二段第一句,紧接着后面就提出了原因,advancesintechnology,thepopularityoftheInternet和proliferationofnewscoverage,分别对应选项B，C，D，只有选项A没有提及。

2.细节题。根据题干关键词RichardBulliet定位至第五段。第五段指出原因在于恐怖主义的策略就是创造一种和实际并不相符的恐惧氛围。

3.细节题。根据题干关键词Iranianhostagecrisis定位至第六段。选项D与第六段第四句重现。

4.细节题。根据题干关键词Therandomnessandtheubiquity定位至第七段，最后一句指出：这种威胁的随机性和普遍性给人的印象是其破坏能力大大增强。因此选项C正确。

2.单选题

Thestorywassaidto______ontheinformationfromareliablesource.

问题1选项

A.beingbased

B.havebeenbased

C.base

D.bebased

【答案】B

【解析】考查词组辨析。句意：据说这篇报道所依据的消息来源可靠。根据谓语动词was确定事情已经发生，根据bebasedon确定保留be动词，确定用被动语态。结合besaidto加完语态被动式表示动作已发生并且是被动语态，所以B选项havebeenbased正确。

3.单选题

“Seeyou____,”shesaid,casually.

问题1选项

A.sometime

B.sometime

C.atsometime

D.sometimes

【答案】A

【解析】考查状语的用法。sometime“某个时候”；sometime“一段时间”；atsometime“在某个时间”；sometimes“有时候”。句意：她很随意地说：“希望以后能再见”。选项A符合题意。

4.单选题

MissRosemaryAdangwentthroughthecompositioncarefullyto（）allerrorsfromit.

问题1选项

A.eliminate

B.terminate

C.illuminate

D.alleviate

【答案】A

【解析】同形词辨析题。eliminate“排除；消除”；terminate“结束；终结”；illuminate“照亮”；alleviate“减轻；缓和”，“仔细地浏览作文”的目的是“排除错误”，符合逻辑，所以此处应该使用动词eliminate，故正确答案为选项A。句意为：罗斯玛丽亚当小姐仔细地浏览作文，以排除所有错误。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:D

第3题:C

第4题:B

第5题:C

第6题:B

第7题:A

【解析】1.根据第一段的内容可知,本段讲述了直升机的优点和缺点,也就是说没有什么是完美的。选项A最能概括本段。

2.根据第二段第二句“Thismainrotorservesasbothpropellerandwingstoprovidethethrusttodrivethehelicopteralongandthelifttoraiseitofftheground.”这个主旋翼既充当螺旋桨又充当机翼,提供推动直升机前进的推力,也提供使直升机离开地面的升力。选项D与原文描述一致。

3.根据第四段的第一句“Movementofthehelicopterinadirection—forwards,backwards,sideways,upordown—isachievedsimplybyvaryingthepitchoftherotorblades.”选项C符合原文。

4.根据最后一段第三句“Thishastheeffectofsweepingtheairbackwards,andthereforepushingthehelicopterforwards.”为了向前飞行,直升机需要向后扫空气。选项B正确。

5.根据原文句意：叶片的节距减小,使升力不足以支撑直升机的重量,这样直升机就会下降,所以“descend”指的是下降,选项C正确。

6.根据原文句意：为了垂直向上飞行,所有的叶片都设置在相同的间距。在这个位置,他们达到最大的升力。由此可知,“thisposition”指的是上一句提及的相同的间距,选项B正确。

7.结合全文内容可知,本文主要是讲的直升机是如何运作的,选项A最能概括全文。原文并没有说是飞行中的飞机,所以选项D不正确。

6.翻译题

TranslatethefollowingparagraphintoEnglish.

在所有的节日中，春节对于我们中国人来说是最重要的。

阴历年到来的前几天，我们便把房子打扫得干干净净并装饰一新。老人们说必须干干净净过春节，这样来年才会幸福，交好运。

Artistictechniquescan______thetheatricalperformancesandexpressions.

问题1选项

A.underwrite

B.underscore

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:D

第3题:A

第4题:C

第5题:A

【解析】1.主旨大意题。由第一段“For150yearsscientistshavetriedtodeterminethesolarconstant,theamountofsolarenergythatreachestheEarth.Yet，eveninthemostcloud-freeregionsoftheplanet,thesolarconstantcannotbemeasuredprecisely.150年来，科学家们一直试图确定太阳常数，即到达地球的太阳能总量。然而，即使在地球上最无云的地区，太阳常数也无法精确测量。”可知本文的主题是solarconstant太阳常数，主要讨论太阳常数的测量问题。故C项正确。

2.判断推理题。Yet，eveninthemostcloud-freeregionsoftheplanet,thesolarconstantcannotbemeasuredprecisely.Gasmoleculesanddustparticlesintheatmosphereabsorbandscattersunlightandpreventsomewavelengthsofthelightfromeverreachingtheground.而，即使在地球上最无云的地区，太阳常数也无法精确测量。大气中的气体分子和尘埃颗粒吸收和散射阳光，阻止某些波长的光到达地面。所以作者提到气体分子和尘埃颗粒是想说明这两者阻碍了对太阳常数的精确测量。故D项正确。

3.细节事实题。由第三段“ScientistsbelievethesefluctuationscoincidewiththeappearanceanddisappearanceoflargegroupsofsunspotsonthesunspotsarerelativelydarkregionsontheSun’ssurfacethathavestrongmagneticfieldsandatemperatureabout2,000degreesFahrenheitcoolerthantherestoftheSun'ssurface.科学家们认为，这些波动与太阳黑子上大群太阳黑子的出现和消失相吻合。太阳黑子是太阳表面上相对黑暗的区域，具有很强的磁场，温度比太阳表面的其他部分低2000华氏度。可知太阳常数的波动与太阳黑子的活动有关，故A项正确。

4.判断推理题。由最后一段“AlthoughSolarMax’sdatahaveindicatedsslowandsteadydeclineintheSun'soutput.Somescientistshavethoughtthatthesatellite'sagingdetectorsmighthavebecomelesssensitiveovertheyears,thusfalselyindicatingadrop,inthesolarconstant.尽管太阳活动极大期的数据显示太阳活动缓慢而稳定地减少。一些科学家认为，随着时间的推移，该卫星的老化探测器可能变得不那么敏感，从而错误地显示出太阳常数的下降。可知由于卫星的老化有可能使得探测不敏感，所以科学家认为太阳活动极大期的信息可能不准确。故C项正确，

5.文章最后一段讲了对于太阳常数的研究已经展开，这是项复杂而艰巨的工程，需要持续不断的研究和努力。故A项正确。

13.单选题

问题1选项

A.begrowingcold

B.growcold

C.havegrowncold

D.togrowcold

【答案】B

【解析】感官动词如feel,see,watch,hear后面接动词原形或动名词,

选项B正确。

14.单选题

Theproblemisthatthelossofconfidenceamongthesoldierscanbehighlycontagious.

问题1选项

A.spreading

B.contemptible

C.contented

D.depressing

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容词辨析。contagious在句中是“传染性的，会感染的”；A选项spreading“扩散的”；B选项contemptible“可鄙的”；C选项contented“满足的，心安的”；D选项depressing“沉闷的，阴沉的”。句意：问题是士兵们失去信心可能会传染。因此只有A项符合。

15.单选题

）.

问题1选项

A.attribute

C.repast

D.jargon

【答案】B

【解析】考查名词辨析。A选项attribute“属性，性质，特征”；B选项chore“日常事务，家务活”；C选项repast“餐，饭菜”；D选项jargon“行话，黑话，行业术语”。此处是while引导的让步状语从句，将男性一周洗一次车的人数与女性做这件事的人数相对比，因此选B。句意：四分之一的男性一周洗一次车，而不超过五分之一的女性做这个事务。
