参考答案

1.B解析：细节题。题文为“在2004年，去巴黎旅游的人比去纽约的人多”。根据关键词“2004，Paris”定位于第八、九段。文中说，2004年来巴黎的游客是25million，而去纽约的则是39.9million。可见去纽约的人要比去巴黎的人多，而本题表达的意思刚好与此相反。因此，答案为[N]。

2.B解析：由第四段中后半部分“Toobtainit,heenrolledinatechnicalhighschool，．．．Buthedidnotbothertotakeexaminationsattheschool．Informedthathewouldnotbegraduated，Hondacommentedthatadiplomawas‘worthlessthanamovietheaterticket．Aticketguaranteesthatyoucangetintothetheater．Butadiplomadoesn'tguaranteethatyoucanmakealiving’”。可见他不屑为了获得文凭而参加考试。故此题判断为NO。

3.physicalhealthphysicalhealth解析：文章第十一段最后一句话指出：“Mentalhealth，hesays，becomesinvolvedwithphysicalhealth．”，精神健康与身体健康密切相关。

4.B解析：第2个小标题Windcurrents部分的第2段第3句：Consequently，specificlocationsgenerallyexperiencethesamesortofweatherconditionsyeartoyear.根据原文，一个特定的地方的天气情况经常是每年都差不多(same)，而本题却说每年都会变化(vary)，故答案为N。

5.activatingsomeofyourbackupcopiesactivatingsomeofyourbackupcopies解析：文章第八段中提到你可以通过激活你思想的备份而获得多次的永生。

6.themoneypressures。themoneypressures。解析：根据题干中的信息词O'Donnell和22-year-old定位到最后一个小标题下的第二段，可知O'Donnell的儿子年仅22岁就在自己的卧室内自杀，而O'Donnell确信是金钱的压力导致了他的自杀，由此可得答案。

7.A解析：推断题。题文为“在通货膨胀超过工资增长的年代里，美国的许多家庭都难于过活”。题干的中心是通货膨胀带来的后果。文中相应表述在第三段，提到“近年来，通货膨胀超过工资增长，不难找出像Hardesty这样还没到月底就花光钱的家庭”。因此，本题答案为[Y]。

8.B解析：题干中的Whentraveling…them与第一句提到的Manypeopletravelwiththeirownsupplyofwater对应。第三、四句提到作者对第一句所描述的现象的看法：的确在很多地方你会很容易因为喝没有处理过的水而生病不舒服，但是这并不意味着你得像霍华德·休斯(注：美国制造商、飞行家和电影制片商，世界富豪)那样旅行。除非你的免疫系统特别脆弱或者本身有什么其他疾病，否则我觉得没必要担心那些当地细菌。由作者的观点可推断出，很多美国人在旅行时自己带水是因为他们担心当地的水不安全，故答案为[B]。

9.55解析：第9段第3句中“Alargepart…fromtheUS，Canada，Europe、JapanandRussia”

10.TheCelebratedJumpingFrogofCalaverasCountyTheCelebratedJumpingFrogofCalaverasCounty解析：马克.吐温开始写作之后，使他一夜成名的第一部作品是TheCelebratedJumpingFrogofCalaverasCounty，其中文译名《卡拉维拉斯县驰名的跳山工》。

11.A解析：该句中的contracted与lessandless意思相近，与contracted前的playzone同义的选项为本题答案，因此A为本题答案。要小心B，原文该句中提到的henhousechickens可能会误导考生选择B，事实上，henhousechick-ens用于比喻受过分保护的小孩。与animals没有关系。

12.C解析：这两句提到，Mark刚开始是一个down-on-his-luckloser(运气不好的失败者)，发现了lying(说谎)后，他变得rich，famous，andcourtingthegirlofhisdreams(富裕，出名，追求到他的梦中女孩)，由此可知，说谎彻底地改变了Mark的人生，
