参考答案

1.B解析：此题为细节信息推理题。其中关键词是asked．．．takento．．．policestationbecause。第2段倒数第4句中含有上述关键词。通过进一步阅读发现(第2段前几句)Mr．Green明知限速是每小时30英里，而故意超速驾驶，显然是为了向警方求助。Mr．Greenhoped．．．tellthepoliceman．．the．．．robber(第7句)，但是感到那人用枪againsthisback。所以可以推断他是为了安全而希望被送入警局并在警方的保护下说出实情。故B项是正确答案。

2.C解析：参见最后一段。

3.B32．答案为B

第二段中choosewhatwordsyouneedtoknowandwhatwordsyoucanskiporscan可猜出scan是指不太重要可略读的语句。

4.B见原文第一段。MagdalenaSmith说，学生为了争得好成绩往往减少了有意义的活动，诸如音乐、体育等。他主张不要把成绩看得太重。

5.D

6.A水手们能感觉到鲸鱼的胃里有东西在动。A项是正确的。

7.C解析：文章最后一句话就揭示了文章的主题。

8.D

9.B解析：第二段。Therefore因此。由于前面提到的原因，才有了后面的行为或决定。这个词的前面通常是原因，该词后则通常是结果。选项B是正确的。

10.D

11.A49．答案为A

根据第三段第一句乘客的谈话可知西部的冬天可到零下20度，并且不像这里那样潮冷，以此可推断西部的冬天应该是干冷。

12.C

13.C解析：第二段。Buddy,BillClinton’sLabradorretriever意为Buddy，克林顿的拉布拉多犬。

14.D解析：通过句子“Dagmarisfine．Nofever．”可知。

15.B解析：在第四段中提到“911”这个电话号码，根据上下文推断，可知这个号码应该是一个在紧急情况下拨的号码。

16.A

17.C

18.A解析：本题属细节题。从本文第二段倒数第三句中便找到答案。

19.C解析：参见句子：IntheFarEastinancienttimes,theumbrellawasallowedtobeusedonlybyroyaltyorbythoseinhighoffice.

20.D41．文章提到的是“二战”时期的事，因此令人憎恨的、不会弄错的人物应当是希特勒。选项D是正确的。

21.A36．答案为A

从第一段thebluepagescontainnumbersofcityservices，governmentagencies可知蓝页中可查到政府机构，因此选A。

22.D解析：本题考查的是对文章细节的理解能力。第一段第五旬Hewillbebetweentheagesofthirtyandforty的意思是“年龄要求为30到40岁之间”，D选项符合文义。

23.C解析：第一段中写到从南到北、从东到西大约是300多英里，因此本题中从英格兰中部到南海岸应该是300英里的一半：150英里。

24.A解析：第二段提到Thenitisfilledwithair.Thepressureinsidetheplaneisgreaterthaniteverwillbewhenitishighupintheair.Finally，thereisanexplosion.即可判断，通过宽气加压使飞机爆炸来检测出飞机的薄弱部分，这是tanktest的目的，因而A选项表明了tanktest的结果，最合题意。B选项Itwillbemadestronger是测试之后所要做的事。题干中的underthe“tanktest”是指在测试进行当中，因此不可选B。

25.B解析：根据文章内容，可知Dr.Kleitman只是证实了每个人都有自己的能量周期，但他并未讲出为什么人们会在一天的不同时间里处于巅峰状态。因此答案B项是错误的。

26.D文中第二段第二句“Edisonhadsolvedcertainproblems．makingitpossibleforotherinventorsmoveaheadwiththeirowndevices．”给出了答案。

27.C第4段末“Ifyouareinbetween”(如果你居中)已经给出了答案。

28.C谈话者还提到人们可以在飞机上购买免税的香烟、矿泉水等。所以C正确。

29.A根据最后一段可知本题选A项。

30.D解析：答案可由第二段第一句得出：EveryyearmybarbergoestoFrancefortwoweeksforhisholidays.

31.B这样在你答完试卷之前离开考场的学生就不会影响你了。

32.A解析：argue表“据理力争”。

33.D

34.A解析：这4个词都能与than连用，但意思不一样。根据上下文，这里应填上表示转折意义的词，只有ratherthan具有此意。

35.B解析：本题属推理分析题。A项与前文“talkabout”重复，C项意为：与某人相处，D项意为：拜访某人，均不符上下文。

36.B

37.A解析：but表示转折，后面的与前面的不一致。

38.B解析：turnon“打开”，turnoff“关掉”，turnin“上交”，turnup，“出现”。

39.C客户订货只需打个电话。副词simply表示“简单，仅仅”。

40.B此段讲述不同背景成员的婚姻关系，用However引出。

41.B27．答案为B

综观全文，作者一直在比较穿制服与穿普通服装的优缺点。且civilian这词重复多次。

42.C充足的睡眠可使一个人放松，有充沛的精力去做一天的工作。aday’s正好符合此题要求。

43.A根据上文内容可知，修车工早就预料到“我”会误人歧途，因此应选A项。

44.D

45.D解析：此题为理解与辨别题。读懂全句后可知，空白处缺少一个相当于中文“问题”的词。有可能错选questions。question和problem的中文意思均为“问题”，前者为需要对方回答的问题，如：MyquestioniswhatlanguageisspokeninCongo．而后者则指需要解决的问题，如：Itwillbeabigproblemifyouarealwayssatisfiedwithwhatyouhavegot．

46.D解析：他回答说是，并说他的父亲已经去世多年。

47.C解析：现在还有很少的几种原始的哺乳动物还是以产蛋的方式生育下一代，如鸭嘴兽。

48.D解析：词义辨析题。quiteafew…表示“相当多的……”，切合题意。

50.C解析：由下文观点排除A、B两项，由最后一段知作者是欣赏警察行事的态度与精神，而不是羡慕。

51.A解析：该题测试元音字母a的读音。选项B、C、D中a发[ae]音；选项A中a为弱读音节，发[e]音。

52.B解析：选项B画线字母读[kcg]，其他选项画线字母读[ken]。

53.B解析：画线部分读[u]，其他选项的画线部分读[u：]。

54.DA、B、C三项划线部分发[c]，而D项划线部分发[A]，所以选D项。

55.A解析：选项A画线字母读[ue]，其他选项画线字母读[/\]。

56.A解析：A项划线部分发[au]，而B，C，D项划线部分的发音为[eu]，所以选A项。

57.C

58.D2．选项D画线字母读[i]，其他选项画线字母读[ai]。

59.AA画线部分读[

?]，其他选项的画线部分读[s]。

60.D在due中u发[ju：]，在其他选项中u发[∧]。must必须；hunter猎人；hut小屋；due到期的。

61.C答案为C。我不知道那个站在校长旁边的女孩的名字。因分词短语做定语时要靠近先行词thegirl，所以用of表所有格。

62.A

63.C解析：本题为词义辨析题。impose意为“强加”，常用在imposesth．on词组中；contain意为“包含”；enclose意为“将……装入，封入”；involve意为“包括，使陷于”。本句大意为：我刚把信寄出去突然想起支票没有附上。

64.D

65.D解析：本题测试词义辨析。四个选项的意思分别是“不管怎样”，“虚弱的”’“视觉的”，“显然的”。根据句意，D项正确。本句大意为：上面所列的事实是显而易见、众所周知的。

66.B

67.D解析：该题测试动词do可代替其前的动词部分的用法。doesdoinghislessons中的does相当于spendsmuchtime。doinghislessons与watchingTV并列，为spend+time(in)doingsomething句式。类例：ShelikesEnglishasmuchashermotherdoes．C选项spends是个及物动词，因其后面无宾语，故不用。

68.A

69.A解析：与is配合的应为单数概念。A表示该人是James和Mary两个人共同的父亲。

70.C解析：本题测试名词的数。复合名词第一部分是由girl或boy构成，则其复数是将该复合名词的第二部分变成复数。本句大意为：男生们已经提出了解决问题的办法。

71.D解析：本题考固定搭配。Beslowin意为“在……方面反应慢”。本句大意为；小时候他学习读写很慢。

72.A

73.A解析：renew意为“续签”。

74.A

75.A空格后的than表明空格处为比较级，interesting是一个多音节形容词，它的比较级是moreinteresting，而far常用来修饰比较级，意为“……得多”。

76.Aplaythepiano弹钢琴；teachpiano教钢琴。句意为：莉莉的钢琴弹得很好，但她却不靠教钢琴谋生。

77.D解析：比较级形容词前不加定冠词。

78.A解析：hobby指“业余爱好”。

79.A

80.A解析：本题考查倒装句的用法。当否定词位于句首时，句子应用倒装句式。
