Themountainpeakis（）onthehorizon.

问题1选项

A.straddling

B.overlooking

C.towering

D.dominant

【答案】D

【解析】固定搭配。straddling“跨坐”；overlooking“俯瞰”；towering“高耸的，超越的”，侧重于与周围环境形成比较；dominant“占优势的，显性的”，bedominanton“占主导”。句意：山顶耸立在地平线上。题目中山峰没有和周围环境形成比较，在地平线上最显眼。选项D符合题意。

2.单选题

Justasthereareoccupationsthatrequirecollegeorevenhigherdegrees,______occupationsforwhichtechnicaltrainingisnecessary.

问题1选项

A.sotoothereare

B.soalsothereare

C.sotherearetoo

D.sotooarethere

【答案】D

【解析】考查句型和倒装结构。本题考查的是“justas…so”句型和倒装结构，“justas…so”的意思为“正好和……一样”。so在本句中表达“也，同样”的含义，连接并列句。too如果在句子中提前，则要求后面的主谓形成部分倒装，所以A，C均不成立；so和also语义重复，因此B选项排除。因此D为正确答案。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:B

第3题:C

第4题:B

第5题:C

【解析】1.主旨大意题。文章提及古代文化研究妇女在各历史时期的地位受到资料限制而且相互矛盾，之后谈及神话和传说对这一问题的分析，最后作者认为，对这类文献资料的研究早已开始证明，当我们通过神话来获取对古代世界的理解，是十分失误的。因此，综合考虑，这篇文章的主要目的是选项D。

2.细节事实题。通过题干关键词定位到原文“Althoughmuchhasbeenaccomplishedforthemodernperiodpremodemcultureshaveprovedmoredifficult:sourcesarerestrictedinnumber,fragmentary,difficulttointerpret,andoftencontradictory.”，中文翻译：虽然在现代时期己经完成了很多，但前现代文化被证明是更困难的：来源受到限制，数量有限，不完整，难以解释，而且常常是矛盾的。因此最佳答案为B选项，只有B没有提及。

3.细节事实题。根据题干定位到原文“IfonebeginsbyexaminingwhyancientsrefertoAmazons,itbecomesclearthatancientGreekdescriptionsofsuchsocietiesweremeantnotsomuchtorepresentobservedhistoricalfact-realAmazoniansocieties-butrathertooffer"morallessons"onthesupposedoutcomeofwomen'sruleintheirownsociety.”，中文翻译：如果我们先研究一下为什么古人会提到亚马逊人，下面的一点就变得清晰了，那就是古希腊对于这种社会的庙睡不是太多的被用来表达观察的历史事实一一真正的亚马逊社会的_——而是为了对于妇女在其社会中的统治的预期后果提供一种“道德教导”。以及原文中“TheAmazonswereoftencharacterized,forexample,astheequivalentsofgiantsandcentaurs,enemiestobeslainbyGreekheroes.Theircustomswerepresentednotasthoseofrespectablesociety,butastheveryantithesesofordinary-Greekpractices.”，原文翻译为：例如，亚马逊人经常被描述为巨人和马人的等份物，被希腊英雄杀死的敌人。他们的习俗并不是作为受人尊敬的社会的习俗来呈现的，而是作为普通希腊习俗的真实对照。由此可以推断出答案选择C。

4.推理判断题。根据题干定位到原文“...toteachbothmaleandfemaleGreeksthatallfemalegroups,formedbywithdrawalfromtraditionalsociety,aredestructiveanddangerous.MythsabouttheAmazonswerenotforthemale-dominatedstatusquo,Linwhichgroupscomposedexclusivelyofeithersexwerenotpermittedtosegregatethemselvespermanentlyfromsociety.”.”。中文翻译为：是教诲古希腊的男性和女性这样一个道理，即那些脱离了传统社会而形成的纯女性群体是破坏性的和危险的。有关亚马逊人的神话是用作论据来为男人统治的现状做辩护的，在这种现状下，纯粹地由任一性别构成的群体是不允许与社会永久性地隔绝开来的。由此可知，B项符合题目描述。

5.推理判断题。根据题干可定位到原文“Althoughmuchhasbeenaccomplishedforthemodernperiodpremoderncultureshaveprovedmoredifficult:sourcesarerestrictedinnumber,fragmentary,difficulttointerpret,andoftencontradictory.ThusitisnotparticularlysurprisingthatsomeearlierscholarshipconcerningsuchcultureshassofargoneunchallengeD.AnexampleisJohannBaehofen’s1861treatiseonAmazons,women-ruledsocietiesofquestionableexistencecontemporarywithancientGreece.”中文翻译为：虽然对现当代的研究成就斐然，但是古代文化的研究要证明更为困难：资料来源数量有限，支离破碎，难以解释且经常互相矛盾。因此，人们并不特别惊讶地发现，有关这些古代文化的早期学术研究迄今为止听凭其流传下来，而未遭到质疑。其中一个实例就是约翰•巴霍芬1861年论述亚马逊人的论文，而所谓亚马逊人，即那些由女性统治的社会，其难置可否的存在与古希腊同期。综合可知。C选项是其主要原因。

【答案】Passage1

在反击结核病的战争中,几种有前景的药物开发策略正在出现。结核病如今每年仍在夺去将近两百万人的生命,其中大多发生在发展中国家。随着结核分枝杆菌进化成可以耐受抗结核药物,而患者感到很难接受现有的药物治疗框架,科学家正在寻找新药和好的诊断方法。一些有前景的药物正在进行早期临床试验,这可能缩短结核病治疗时间,但是他们面临的情况不利,因为只有不到10%的进入早期临床试验阶段的抗生素获得了批准。但研究人员发现,研究基因、蛋白质和代谢的领域提供了破解关于这种细菌及其与人类相互作用的空前详细的新信息的潜力。

Passage2

对于Web2.0来讲,越大肯定是越好。大的文字就是,大的文字看起来不累,配合流畅的文字内容使得信息容易被吸收。Web2.0网站的排版布局（难度）可说是微乎其微。利用好空白可以使重点突出,易读,易用。空白能让重要信息凸显,让眼睛得以休息,并给予一种安定和秩序的感觉。宽松的行间距也让视线易于跟随文本流动。一些Web2.0网站的布局简单到令人感到无聊的地步,但若设计上出色的话,一个四平八稳的页面也能成为绝顶的美味大餐。友好、活泼的行文方式会使作者与访问者建立更多良好的关系。

Passage3

项目管理队伍必须注意不能将质量与等级混淆。质量低常成为一个问题,但等级低则不是。确定和传达所需的质量及等级水平是项目经理和项目管理队伍的责任。另外,执行组织主动采取质量改进不仅能提高项目管理的质量,也可提高项目产品质量。但是,项目管理队伍必须清楚知道一个重要的区别一项目的临时性意味着对产品质量改进的投资,特别是缺陷的预防和评估,必须由执行组织承担,因为项目可能不会持续到获得回报的时候。

问题1选项

A.stiff

第4题:A

第5题:D

第6题:D

第7题:D

第8题:B

【解析】13.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】主旨大意题。文章首先引出“生物多样性”的定义，介绍了全球大概的物种数量，接着介绍了研究生物多样性的意义，说明本文的主要目的是介绍生物多样性的概念。因此B选项“解释生物多样性的概念”正确。A选项“解释为什么生物多样性对我们的生存至关重要”，原文只提到生物多样性对我们的生存至关重要，没有具体阐述，所以A错误。C选项“说明为什么当地的生物多样性比全球的生物多样性更重要”只是原文的一部分内容，不能概括全文主旨，所以C错误。D选项“阐明生物多样性的减少所带来的危险”，原文没有讲到生物多样性减少的危害，所以D错误。

14.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】推理判断题。由题干可以定位到文章第二段，第二段中说到Undoubtedly,manyspeciesremaintobediscovered…Itmustalsoberememberedthatweareinthemidstofamassextinctionevent…Takentogether,thesetwouncertainelementspreventtheglobalbiodiversityestimatefrombecomingmuchmorethananeducatedguess.（毫无疑问，还有许多物种有待发现……还必须记住，我们正处于大规模灭绝事件之中……综合来看，这两个不确定因素使全球生物多样性的估计不能成为一个有根据的猜测。），说明物种的数量有增有减，在不断的变化中，所以不能准确衡量生物的多样性。因此A选项“物种的数量在不断变化”正确。B选项“动物的种群从一个地方移到另一个地方”，C选项“我们不知道所有物种在生态方面的作用”在文中没有提及，所以B，C错误。D选项“生物多样性的定义还不够明确”，原文明确给出了生物多样性的定义，即在一个特定的栖息地或生态系统中发现的植物和动物物种的数量，所以D错误。

15.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】词义推测题。由题干关键词“enormity”可以定位到文章第三段第三句Despitetheapparentenormityofthenumberofspeciesthatinhabittheearthasawhole,localbiodiversity—thenumberofspeciesfoundinanyonehabitat—fluctuatesgreatlyaswecrosstheboundariesseparatingtheecosystemsthatmakeuptheEarth’sbiosphere.（尽管存在于整个地球上的物种数量明显很庞大，但当我们跨越分隔地球生物圈的生态系统的界限时，当地的生物多样性——在任何一个栖息地中发现的物种数量都会极大地波动。），说明“enormity”在文中是指“数量庞大”的意思。因此C选项“大量”准确。A选项“重要”，B选项“质量”，D选项“准确”均不符合题意，所以A，B，D错误。

16.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】客观细节题。由题干可以定位到文章第三段最后一句Itreachesitshighestlevelsonthecoralreefsandinthetropicalrainforestswheretheremaybethousandsofspeciesperacre.（它在珊瑚礁和热带雨林中达到最高水平，那里每英亩可能有数千种物种。），说明物种数量最多的地方在珊瑚礁和热带雨林。因此A选项“珊瑚礁”正确。B选项“在当地生态系统之间的边界地区”，C选项“在海底的海藻林中”，D选项“在淡水湖泊和溪流中”均不符合题意，所以B，C，D错误。

17.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】客观细节题。由A选项关键词“specialfunction”可以定位到文章最后一段第一句itmaybedeemedmoresignificantbyvirtueoftheroleitplaysintheecosystem.（由于它在生态系统中发挥的作用，可能被认为更重要。），说明物种在生态系统中发挥的作用是评估生物多样性的要素，A选项“一个特定的物种在一个生态系统中发挥的特殊功能”表述正确，排除A。由B选项关键词“numberofspecies”可以定位到文章第三段第三句localbiodiversity—thenumberofspeciesfoundinanyonehabitat—fluctuatesgreatlyaswecrosstheboundariesseparatingtheecosystemsthatmakeuptheEarth’sbiosphere.（当我们跨越分隔地球生物圈的生态系统的界限时，当地的生物多样性——在任何一个栖息地中发现的物种数量都会极大地波动。），说明物种的数量是评估生物多样性的要素，B选项“一个生态系统中存在的物种数量”表述正确，排除B。由C选项关键词“geneticuniqueness”可以定位到文章倒数第二段最后一句thetuataraqualifiesongroundsofgeneticuniquenesstobeweightedmoreheavilyincalculatingthebiodiversityofitshabitat.（在计算其栖息地的生物多样性时，鳄蜥的基因独特性更值得重视。），说明基因独特性是评估生物多样性的要素，C选项“一个生态系统中的物种的基因独特性”表述正确，排除C。D选项“一个生态系统所覆盖的区域的大小”在文中没有提及，不属于评估生物多样性的要素，本题选D。
