如今北京和纽约的共同之处不仅包括了繁忙的商业中心，寒冷的冬季和拥挤的城铁车厢，根据一项年度排名，北京还在亿万富翁的人数方面赶超纽约。根据这份报告，尽管中国经济放缓，中国制造的财富却超过了全球所有其它地区。

大多数人的生活被他们身处的环境所决定。他们不仅接受既定的命运，而且顺从命运的安排。他们就像街上的有轨电车一样，在既定的轨道上行驶，而对于那些敏捷地出没于车水马龙间，欢快地奔驰在旷野上的汽车却不屑一顾。我尊重他们，他们是好市民、好丈夫和好父亲。当然，总得有人来支付税收，但是，他们并没有令人激动的地方。

B.“provideequipment”

C.“leaveacertainamountoftime”

D.“setasideenoughspace”

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:A

第3题:B

第4题:A

第5题:C

【解析】1.细节事实题。根据原文第一段的第一句“Nopoemshouldeverbediscussedor‘analyzed’,untilithasbeenreadaloudbysomeone,teacherorstudent.任何诗歌都应该先由某人，老师或学生大声朗读，再来进行讨论或‘分析’。”所以选项D符合原文。

2.细节事实题。根据第三段的倒数第二句“Poetryis‘acriticismoflife’,and‘aheighteningoflife’.Itis‘anapproachtothetruthoffeeling’,andit‘cansaveyourlife’.诗歌是‘对生活的批评’，也是‘对生活的升华’。它是‘一种接近真实感受的方法’，它‘可以拯救你的生命’。”由此可知，只有选项A在原文没有提及。

3.细节事实题。根据第三段的第二句“IthinkoneofourgoalsasteachersofEnglishistohavestudentslovepoetry.我认为我们作为英语教师的目标之一就是让学生热爱诗歌。”由此可知，选项B符合原文。

4.语义推断题。原文第三段的最后一句提及“Italsodeservesaplaceintheteachingoflanguageandliteraturemorecentralthanitpresentlyoccupies.它（诗歌）也应该在语言和文学教学中占有比现在更重要的地位。”也就是说，应该要更加重视诗歌的教学，所以选项A符合原文。

5.词义推断题。根据关键词所在原文的句意“但那些教授诗歌的老师必须牢记诗歌的本质、诗歌的声音和诗歌的意义。他们必须在教室里留出时间让学生思考诗歌，同时也让学生听诗。”由此可推断，这里的“makeroom”指的是留出时间，所以选项C符合原文。

5.单选题

Howcanyou（）andwatchthecountrygotoruin?

问题1选项

A.standby

B.standfor

C.standup

D.standupfor

【答案】A

【解析】动词词组辨析。standby袖手旁观，站在旁边；standfor代表，象征；standup站起来，坚持；standupfor支持，拥护。句意：你怎么能袖手旁观，看着这个国家走向毁灭呢?选项A符合句意。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:B

第3题:A

第4题:B

第5题:A

【解析】1.主旨大意题。本篇开头介绍了我们可以区分物质的三个不同领域，在量子阶梯上的三个层次。接着三段分别阐述了原子能领域，原子核领域以及亚核领域的物质及物质产生过程。故D项“在原子、原子核和亚核领域中发现的粒子和过程”符合题意。

2.细节事实题。根据题干定位到第二段"However,ifoneappliesenergiesofmillionsofelectronvolts,nuclearreactions,fissionandfusion,andtheprocessesofradioactivityoccur;ourelementaryparticlesthenareprotons,neutrons,andelectrons."然而，如果一个人应用数百万电子伏特的能量，核反应、裂变和聚变，那么放射性过程就会发生;我们的基本粒子是质子、中子和电子。据此可知地球上自然发生的放射性现象是极高的能量交换发生反应的结果。故B项“是一个古老的恒星爆炸过程中的高能量的核水平交换的结果”正确。

3.细节事实题。由题干关键词“atomicrealm”可定位到第一段Iftheseexchangesarebelowoneelectronvolt,……Ifonegoestohigherenergyexchanges,say104electronvolts,thenatomsandmoleculeswilldecomposeintonucleiandelectrons;atthislevel,thelatterparticlesmustbeconsideredaselementary.如果这些交换低于1电子伏特，如果进行更高的能量交换，比如104电子伏特，那么原子和分子就会分解成原子核和电子;在这个层次上，后一种粒子必须被认为是基本粒子。据此可知第一段在原子领域不止一级能量交换，可以有高能量和低能量交换。故A项正确。B项与原文内容"thenatomsandmoleculeswilldecomposeintonucleiandelectrons;atthislevel,thelatterparticlesmustbeconsideredaselementary."那么原子和分子就会分解成原子核和电子;在这个。层次上，后一种粒子必须被认为是基本粒子”不符，原子领域除了基本粒子还有其他成分。CD两项第一段未提及。

4.细节事实题。由题干关键词gluons定位到第三段"Thegluonsarethequanta,orsmallestunits,oftheforce（thestrongforce）thatkeepsthequarkstogether.Aslongaswearedealingwiththeatomicornuclearrealm,thesenewtypesofparticlesdonotoccurandthenucleonsremaininert.Butatsubnuclearenergylevels,thenucleonsandmesonsappeartobecomposedofquarks,sothatthequarksandgluonsfigureaselementaryparticles."胶子是使夸克聚集在一起的力（强力）的量子，或最小的单位。只要我们研究的是原子或核领域，这些新型粒子就不会出现，核子也会保持惰性。但是在亚核能级，核子和介子似乎是由夸克组成的，所以夸克和胶子是基本粒子。据此可知胶子不会出现在原子和核领域，故B项正确。其他选项与题干中的gluons无关。

5.细节事实题。由题干关键词"conditionalelementarity"定位到第一段"Iftheseexchangesarebelowoneelectronvolt,suchasinthecollisionsbetweenmoleculesoftheairinaroom,thenatomsandmoleculescanberegardedaselementaryparticles.Thatis,theyhave“conditionalelementarity”becausetheykeeptheiridentityanddonotchangeinanycollisionsorinotherprocessesattheselowenergyexchanges."如果这些交换低于1电子伏特，例如在一个房间里空气分子之间的碰撞，那么原子和分子可以被视为基本粒子。也就是说，它们有“条件元素性”因为它们保持它们的同一性，在任何碰撞或其他低能量交换过程中都不会改变。据此可知条件元素性在能量交换过程中不会改变。故A项“给定的能量交换水平上保持不变”正确。
