第5题:A

第6题:C

第7题:C

第8题:B

第9题:D

第10题:D

【解析】21.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】考查上下文和词语辨析。A项ancient“古代的”，B项historic“有历史意义的”，C项historical“历史的”，D项old“老的”。上文提到ithasbeenusedinmanydifferentwaysthroughouthistory（盐的使用方式在历史上有很多种），那么接下来的空格根据文章逻辑可知是表示“历史证明”，historicalevidence表示“历史证明，史实”。故该题选C。

22.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】考查词语辨析。A项salt“含盐的”，B项salted“用盐腌渍的，用盐调味的”，C项salting是salt的现在分词形式，D项salty“咸的；含盐的”。根据句子peoplewholivedoverthreethousandyearsagoate…fish（生活在三千多年前的人们吃……鱼），结合上文提到了盐，可知空格是表示“咸鱼，腌鱼”；saltedfish表示“咸鱼，腌鱼”。故该题选B。

23.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】考查动词辨析和语境。A项arrest“逮捕”，指根据法律或命令进行逮捕并予以监禁或拘留；B项catch“抓住”，指捉住跑动或隐藏中的人或动物，一般指活捉；C项get“得到”；D项seize“夺取，逮捕”，侧重指以突然、有力地动作迅速抓住或捉住。根据句子ifapersonwas...“stealingsalt”（如果一个人被……偷盐），可知空格是表示“抓住”；故该题选B。

24.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】考查介词辨析。A项as“作为”，B项by“通过”，C项for“为，因为”；D项through“通过”。根据句子Historyrevealsthatabouttenthousandpeoplewereputinprisonduringthatcentury…stealingsalt.（历史表明，在那个世纪大约有一万人被关进监狱……偷盐。），可知空格是表示原因；故该题选C。

25.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】考查介词辨析。A项besides“除了……还有，另外”，B项beyond“超过”，C项except“除外”；D项over“完全覆盖，翻转”。根据句子Inthemodernworldsalthasmanyuses…thediningtable.（在现代，……餐桌上，盐还有许多用途），结合后文可知空格是表示“除了”；故该题选A。

26.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】考查词义辨析。A项bearing“承载，忍受”，B项developing“发展”，C项growing“成长”；D项training“训练”。根据空格处后面的crops（庄稼，农作物）可知，空格表达的是“庄稼的种植”；故该题选C。

27.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】考查动词辨析。A项fasten“使固定”，B项fix“维修”，C项preserve“保存，维持”；D项tie“系牢，打结”。根据句子Itisalsousedtomakewatersoft,tomelticeonroadsandhighways,tomakesoap,andto…colorsincloth（它也被软化水，融化道路和高速公路上的冰，制造肥皂，以及……给布料的颜色）可知，空格表达的是“保持颜色”；故该题选C。

28.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】考查词语辨析。A项little“少的”，修饰不可数名词，B项many“许多的”，修饰可数名词，C项much“许多”，修饰不可数名词；D项more“更多”，多用于比较级。根据空格处前面oneofthe…可知，如果空格处是最高级，应该是oneofthemost…，more是比较级，没有oneofthemore…这个用法，因此D项排除。little和much都是修饰不可数名词，但是空格处后面是processes，所以A项和C项也排除。句意：从海洋、咸水湖或小海中蒸发盐水是制造盐的许多常见过程之一。故该题选B。

29.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】考查连词辨析。A项however“然而”，B项whatever“无论什么”，C项whenever“无论何时”，D项wherever“无论哪里”。根据句子Evaporationofsaltwaterfromtheoceanorfromsaltwaterlakesorsmallseasisoneofthemuchcommonprocessesformanufacturingsalt.InAustralia,itcanevenbetakenfroma“saltbush”.（从海洋、咸水湖或小海中蒸发盐水是制造盐的许多常见过程之一。在澳大利亚，它甚至可以取自“盐性灌木”。），结合前面提到的能够提取盐的地方，可知空格处应该是表示“无论在哪里获得盐”；故该题选D。

30.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】考查固定搭配。A项duty“责任”，B项function“功能”，C项responsibility“责任，义务”，D项role“角色”，固定搭配playarolein表示“在……起作用”；句意：然而，无论在哪里获得盐，盐将继续在人们的生活中发挥重要作用。故该题选D。

2.细节事实题。由文章倒数第三段中的Thecommonbeliefisthatthisderivesfromthefactthattherewere13peopleatChrist’sLastSupper.（人们普遍认为这个数字起源于耶稣最后的晚餐中有13人的事实）可知13这个数字来源于宗教，因此选B。

3.观点态度题。由文章最后一段中的Yetoddlyenough,tobebornonthe13thofthemonthisnotregardedwithanyfearatall,whichjustshowshowirrationalweareinoursuperstitiousbeliefs.（但奇怪的是，出生在13号的人一点也不害怕，这恰恰说明我们迷信的观念是多么的不理智）可知作者对迷信带有点批判的态度，因此选A。

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:B

第3题:E

第4题:A

第5题:F

【解析】1.由文章大意和结构可知，这里需要一个承上启下的过渡句。2-4段主要讲了文化差异所带来的一些问题。分析比较六个选项，选项C最为合适。

2.空格前一句话“inFrance,businessmeetingsbeginpromptlyatthedesignatedtimeandeveryoneisexpectedtobethere.”说明在法国，商务会议会按照约定的时间准时开始，并且每个人都要按时达到。而空格后一句目的状语从句tocooltheirheelsasameansoflettingthemknowtheimportanceofpromptness意思是“通过让他们明白及时的重要性”。由此可以推断出此处应和开会迟到的人相关，B选项最合适。

3.分析文章大意及结构。文章第二段说的是第一个问题，文章第四段说的是第三个问题。由此可以得出文章第三段是第二个问题，并且根据第三段主要内容可以得知和“货币转换”有关。因此最合适的选项为E。

4.联系上下文分析。空格前HowmucharetheseRussianrublesworthintermsofdollars?译为“俄罗斯卢布兑换成美元的比值是多少呢？”空格后的句子Thusthereisanestablishedrate,althoughitwilloftenfluctuatefromdaytoday.意思是“因此会有一个确定的比率，虽然这个比率通常会波动”。选项中与兑换率相关的只有A。

5.根据段落大意选择。文章最后一段的中心是tradebarriers，而选项中只有F与tradebarriers相关，且与后文中的内容构成总分关系，故答案选项为F。

问题1选项

A.ofwhich

B.towhich

C.fromwhich

D.outofwhich

【答案】B

【解析】考查固定搭配。takeexceptionto“不以为然，反对”。这里是将介词提前，和which引导定语从句，因此B选项正确。句意：不停地争论策略问题后，李终于因为拒绝为茨奥设计他……的纪念物而耗尽了茨奥的耐心。因此B选项正确。

C.confusing

D.interesting

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:B

第3题:D

第4题:A

第5题:B

【解析】1.细节事实题。由原文第一段“Oneofthelatestproposalslinksleft-handednessbothwithanoverproductionofthemalehormoneandwithdeficienciesinthebody’sautomaticdefensemechanisms...”可知，最新一项研究表明左撇子可能与雄激素产生过剩以及人体自动防御机制缺陷有关，故A选项错误，C选项正确。原文指的是自动防御机制缺陷而非薄弱，故B项错误。D项内容与题目无关。因此，本题选择C选项最符合题意。

2.推理判断题。本题询问古今左撇子人数变化趋势。根据原文第二段第二句“Theoddthingisthatthispercentageseemstohaveremainedconstantthroughouthistory,andindeedthroughouthumanprehistory”可知，虽然随着人类发展，人口数目发生了变化，但是左撇子所占的比例几乎维持不变。因此，本题正确答案为B项。

3.细节事实题。题干询问北极熊的相关情况。根据原文倒数第二段“polarbearsaremorelikelytobeleft-handedthanright,althoughunderstandablyfewexperimentshavebeendonewithpolarbearsunderlaboratoryconditions”可知，虽然难以在实验室中对北极熊做实验，但是左撇子的北极熊更多，故B项错误，D选项正确。原文只是说针对北极熊进行的实验室实验比较少，但并不是说不可能，故A项与原文不符。在提及北极熊前，原文提到哺乳动物不止人类有左撇子和右撇子之分，则说明北极熊肯定也会有这样的区别，故C选项“它们可能不都是左撇子”错误。因此，本题正确答案为D。

4.细节事实题。题干询问左撇子有何优势。由原文第五段可知，用达尔文的话说，在以右撇子为主的人群中，左撇子肯定有一些优势。但这些优势是什么，文中并没有提及，故A项正确，B、C、D均未在原文出现。因此本题正确答案为A选项。

5.词义推断题。将“mundane”定位到原文最后一句。根据原文内容可推断左撇子的研究虽说表面上看起来不足为奇，但是却可能会对人类进化带来新的启示。故B项“ordinary”更符合句意。因此，本题正确答案为B选项。

11.单选题

问题1选项

A.adapt

【答案】A

【解析】动词词义辨析。根据句意可知，这里指适应新环境。adaptto为固定搭配，意为“适应”，所以选项A正确。

16.Whatdidthemanhavetoswitchthemedication?

【解析】病人说胃里很恶心（upset），因此医生考虑要换药（switchthemedication）。故本题答案为B。

17.Whatisthebadnewsfortheman?

【解析】医生说“Thatmeansnosoccer”，即不能踢球，但并非永远不能再踢球，而是3个星期没法踢球。导致这个结果的原因是该病人腿部需要做一个手术。因此本题正确答案为C。

18.Whatmedicalprocedureshavethemanalreadyundergone?

【解析】通过对话内容可知，病人已经做了biopsy（活检）。因此本题答案为D。

19.Whydidthedoctoraskthemantotakeafewbloodtests?

20.Whichofthefollowingcanbestdescribetheman’sfeelingintheend?

）totheneedsoftheyoungstudents.

问题1选项

A.sensitive

B.sensational

C.sensory

D.sensible

【答案】A

【解析】形容词词义辨析。sensitive“敏感的”；sensational“轰动的，耸人听闻的”；sensory“感知的，知觉的”；sensible“明智的，通情达理的”。句意：我们需要对青年学生的需求更加敏感。因此选项A符合题意。

14.单选题

问题1选项

A.Mostofpeople

B.Mostofthepeople

C.Themostofpeople

D.Themostpeople

【答案】B

【解析】考查固定搭配。most后面可以直接跟可数或者不可数名词，意思是“大多数”；mostof后面接有定冠词、指示代词或物主代词所修饰的名词，表示“特定范围中的大多数”；themost后面通常跟形容词，表示最高级。因此选项B符合题意。
