参考答案

1.B解析：根据最后一句“Here'sawildguess:Notforbuyingmilk.”这句的意思是“这里有一个大胆的猜想：它不仅仅是用来买牛奶”，也就是应用将十分广泛。

2.C解析：根据第二段Inhispaintings,thereisnoparticularchangeinemotion,andheincludesordinarythingslikethehighwayinthebackground可以推断出Leslie的画表现的都是平时常见的事物。

3.B通读全文，可知文章主要是论述太阳斑点的形成以及与磁力的关系。所以B更为符合。

4.D解析：第一段提到儿童如戴不准确的眼镜，会develop视力的丧失。选项D是正确的。create“创造”，train“训练，火车”都不合题意。

5.C解析：本题属深层推理题。根据本文第一段前后语境可知，网球“tennis”既然属于运动类，那肯定是“makingeyes，brainandmusclesworktogether”。

6.B解析：本题属深层理解题。文章第二段倒数第二句已提示：银行要求持卡者在一段时期内付清几笔账，也就是说，持卡者必须有时间规律性地到银行付款。

7.B解析：self-defeating意为“自相矛盾的。”这个告示牌一方面提醒司机注意安全；另一方面又分散了司机的注意力。

8.A解析：本题考查的是对文章的推理。推理题要求根据原文表面文字信息一步推出，即对原文中的某一句话或几句话做出同义的改写或综合，并不涉及复杂的推理或判断。从Anappleadaykeepsthedoctoraway可以推导出A选项“eatingapplesregularlydoeslotsofgoodtoourhealth”。regularly的意思是“定期地，有规律地”。doeslotsofgoodtoourhealth的意思是“对我们的健康大有裨益”。

9.D

10.D第一段提到儿童如果不正确地配戴眼镜，会加重视力的损害。D项是正确的。create“创造”和train“训练”都不合句意。

11.C

12.C由第二段第二句得知CTLA用于评估月短信数量，而非负责本方案，故A项不对；由第三段第一句得知thwWarningAlertandResponseNetworkAct为本方案的提出依据，故B项不对；由文中第一句得知Federalregulators为本方案的审批通过单位，故排除D项；由第三段第二句得知方案由FCC主管，故答案为C项。

13.A本题为细节题。根据作者在Ordinarily，searchingthroughthefilesforownersofelderlyChevieswouldhavebeenanimpossiblydifficulttask．．．句中所用的虚拟语气就可肯定A正确。

14.B

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.B

17.D

18.A根据第一段的段首句可知应选A项。

19.D见原文最后一段。如果他不能适应真正的自然环境，Keiko基金组织会将一直照看它到老。

20.A

21.B解析：参见文章最后一段。

22.A解析：通过上下文可知。

23.C文中第三段第四句表明Alaska有火山，而且位于太平洋的火山带上。

24.C文章最后一段倒数第二句告诉我们，夫妻俩一人买了一台电视机，因此C选项是对的。

25.B53．答案为B。根据第一段倒数第二句，butifitisabuilding，hisfailureconcernsotherstoo作出该项选择。

26.A解析：参见第四段。

27.B

28.C

29.A第七段。可凭客房钥匙进入位于三层的健身中心，该中心24小时开放。选项A是正确的。选项B和C不合题意，排除。蒸气浴室和桑拿房(不是健身中心)的开放时间是早6点一晚8点，选项D不是正确答案。

30.C见文章最后一句“Astudentwhohasheldonethesepositionsofauthorityismuchrespectedanditwillbeofbenefittoalatercareer”可知C符合。

31.C

32.Asuch与空格后的as搭配。

33.D

34.B

35.BOntheotherhand表示语意转折。尽管通婚已不rare，但仍然uncommon。

36.C解析：冬季奥运会的项目有滑雪、滑冰等。

37.A27．答案为A

此处测试句意理解和选词。从填充部分后面的teenagersandtheirparents看，应为“两者之中”的问题。between的意思为“在两者之中”，among和of的意思为“在三者或三者以上之中”，in不合题意，故选A为答案。

38.D词义辨析题。

【应试指导】told和order后要跟t0。letsb．dosth．和makesb．dosth．都有“让某人做某事”的意思，但make表示强迫，let表示选择。

39.B这时人群注意到这一点，故用crowds。街道不可能注意，故不选A。不仅仅是乘客会注意到，步行的人更会注意到，故不选C。如选city则指全纽约的人都注意到了，这是不可能的。

40.A

41.A下面讲了对真树要做很多的维护性工作，要有一定的支出。根据这个含义，比较四个选项，A项是正确的。用假树花费会低一些。cost“花费，费用”符合句意。

42.A解析：inaminute“一会儿”。

43.B蛋清和蛋黄是它的唯一食物。

44.A29．Beyond超出。作者认为这条制度太过分了，他应该抗争。选项A是正确的。

45.A本题为近义词辨析。take意为“拿去”；bring意为“带来”；fetch意为“去取”；send意为“派人送去”。这里指“我”把相册放回去，送到警察局去。

46.A解析：watch“监视”。店员会把黑人小青年当成小偷来监视。

47.D解析：因此肯塔基的这所聋哑人学校从来也没有(never)被任何一方占据过。

48.B1ifting举起、提高，risin9上升、增高，peaking剧烈增加，raising提起、竖起。根据上下文，原文是指价值上升，所以选项B是正确的。

49.D

50.A解析：这个成绩是他在希腊雅典奥运会上夺得的。当时他获得2004年110米栏奥运冠军，以12秒91的成绩打破奥运会纪录，并平了世界纪录。

51.CA、B、D三项划线部分都发[w]，而C项发[h]，所以选C项。

52.A

53.B

54.A解析：画线部分读[i]，其他选项的画线部分读[e]。

55.A解析：画线部分读[k]，其他选项的画线部分读[ts]

56.AA项划线部分不发音，而B、C、D三项发[ei]，所以选A项。

57.C

58.A解析：画线部分读[3]，其他选项的画线部分读[s]。

59.B3．选项B画线字母读[i]，其他选项画线字母读[ei]。

60.AA项的划线部分发[i]，而B、c、D三项划线部分的发音为[ai]，因此选A项。

61.D

62.C解析：主语是单数，尽管后面跟有togetherwith等引起的短语，谓语动词仍用单数。

63.A

64.B8．答案为B

参考译文：这家工厂为政府和周围的人民引以为荣，所以来访者络绎不绝。此题为短语意义区分题。A和D意思一样，都是表示“总共、在数目上”。C是明显错误，因为不能重复to。选B，inlargenumbers意思是“大批的”。

65.D解析：those代替前面的词语thehouses。由于houses是复数，所以不能用that或one。ones如果改为theones就正确了。

66.A解析：本题为词组辨析题。comeround意为“苏醒，恢复知觉”；comealong意为“再努力一点，进步”；comeon意为“跟随，来到”；comeout意为“出现，显现”。本句大意为：她已经晕倒了，在她的脸上撒些水她就会苏醒过来。

67.B

68.C

69.D

70.D解析：不定式作状语表示目的。

71.B

72.C

73.A解析：本句句意是：我妈妈以低价买了那件大衣。

74.B解析：定冠次用在作形容词的叙述词前；国名、某些地名、区名等前不加冠词。曼德拉是南非第一位选举出来的总统。

75.A解析：本题属词意辨别题。impression印象，expression表达，impact影响力，implication暗示。

76.D解析：从整个语境中可以看出，所填部分为一独立成分，是引起所问问题的插入语，应用bytheway，意思是“顺便问一下”。

77.D解析：只有在Only修饰状语置于句首时，句子才用倒装，主句中的助动词will才能提前。故答案选D。

78.A解析：因为前后句存在因果关系，所以只能选连词for，故答案为A。

79.B解析：当比较级结构中的more、less等词为限定词时，名词只能置于比较级结构中间。

80.B解析：本题为固定搭配题。payattentionto意为“注意”；takeanoticeof意为“注意到……”；warning意为“警告”；observation意为“观测，观察”。本句大意为：尽管我已和他说过多次，他从来不在意我所说的。

81.ToWhomItMayConcern:

Threedaysago，IjustgotthewatchIorderedfromyourstore.Yousentitontimeandthanksforth
