参考答案

1.areproudoftheirethnicsareproudoftheirethnics解析：文章的最后谈到“种族身份的认定”—Racialidentificationcanstemfromothersources，suchasheightenedethnicprideortheopportunitytobenefitfromaffirmativeactionandotherprograms．种族身份的认定也取决于其他原因，如民族自豪感增强，或可从肯定性行动计划(affirmativeaction)或其他项目中获益。接着作者就以人口普查中出现的情况为例——在过去几十年中，印第安人血统显然颇受青睐。1970年至1980年间，在人口普查表上声明属美洲印第安人的人口数量从80万增至140万，造成这一增长速度的原因远不止于“出生人口减去死亡人口”，而后作者再进一步分析其原因——Peopledecided：theywantedtoidentifyasAmericanIndians,tosomeextentbecauseofrisingethnicconsciousness人们决定要美洲印第安人的身份，这在某种程度上是出于不断增强的民族意识。”

2.A

3.taughenedheatstrengthenedglass

4.lockthedoorslockthedoors解析：此处要求填入省略to的动词不定式。aswellas短语要求其前后部分应为并列成分。原句中also与aswellas意思相同，因此将该句中主谓结构根据题干语法需要变为动宾结构，可得答案lockthedoors。

5.YY解析：由题干中的Harvard和18定位到第：三段第一句话AtHarvard…whenfreshmenreceivemailingsurgingthemto．．．purchasecompactfluorescentbulbs，whichuseanaverageof18wattsapieceinsteadof75”。段首及数字处设题。通过分析定位句得知，哈佛大学在新生入学前的通知上鼓励学生购买荧光灯，平均每盏为18瓦，题干与原文相符。

6.C解析：定位到小标题Accommodation下第三段，文章提到了保暖设备，但只是说Youwillbesuppliedwithaspeciallymadesleepingbag(madebyFjallravenwhoknowathingortwoaboutsleepingintheArctic)completewithasleepingbagliner．(会给你提供一种特制的配有衬垫的睡袋，这是由对在极地环境睡觉略知一二的Fjallraven制造的)。文章其它部分没有提到题干“享受冰旅店一切美景的关键是穿上极地环境所需要的服装”，题干内容原文未提到。

7.B解析：题干中的inmostcircumstances与原文中mostofthetime意义相近。该句的关系代词that指代的是主语aphoneorasmartcard，谓语是beat，而that引导的定语从句是前者优于后者的原因，即手机或智能卡在电子识别器上挥一挥即可，表明其便利性。所以，本题答案为B)。

8.newknowledgeandskillsnewknowledgeandskills解析：此处要求填入名词性短语作develop的宾语。本题考查在某一领域内的知识在其他领域的应用情况，原句破折号后部分是对原有知识运用的进一步阐释，可知developingnewknowledgeandskills是原有知识发展的结果，故可得答案newknowledgeandskills。

9.randomelectricalactivityrandomelectricalactivity解析：第6个小标题Dreams部分的第2段第1句：Thebraincreatesdreamsthroughrandomelectricalactivity．空白处需要名词性成分。原文中用through，题目用experience，其实表示的都是方式，故答案为through后面的名词短语randomelectricalactivity。

10.B解析：本题定位词是highschool，涉及文化程度不高的求职者的提升问题。题干与教育有关，锁定Education部分。查读定位词，在本部分最后一段找到对应的定位词peoplewhohavenotfinishedhighschool，再寻找到与promote相关的信息：thoseworkerswillbemorelikelytohavelowpayingjobswithlittleopportunityforadvancement。其中advancement对应题干中的bepromoted，但原文中说的是晋升机会很小，是否定的，题干所述与原文不符，所以是错误的。

11.C解析：细节推断题[考频：16]。由theydon'trespond可知男生们不仅不按照一般的社交礼仪在见面后第二天主动联系女生，反倒在女生主动发短信给他们后仍不理不睬，即通过ignorance来表示不准备再交往下去。

12.A解析：文章第一段中提到当时的工业正在为战后生产进行重组，急需合格的技术人员，尤其是电子领域的。

13.acombinationofmanyfactorsacombinationofmanyfactors解析：由题干someresearchers定位到第三个小标题下末段Inaddition,someresearchers...Theseresearchersfeelthatintelligenceisacombinationofmanyfactors.(另外，一些研究人员和理论家认为智商测试具有局限性，不能真正显示一个人的智商。这些研究者认为智商应是多种因素的混合体。)

14.A解析：该句提到，就像雪儿引发的其他潮流一样，这种滥用Auto-Tune制造出来的特效很快便不再流行。题干中的thecrazeforAuto-Tune与该句提到的thecreativeabuseofAuto-Tune对应，trendyCherstarted与trendssetbyCher对应。[A]项中的fadedsoon是对quicklywentoutoffashion的同义转述，故答案为[A]。

15.D解析：根据题干信息词unlikelucky和unluckypeople定位到第二个小标题下的第二段，可知不幸运的人错过了机会是因为忙于去寻找其他的东西，而幸运的人首先看到的是有什么东西而不是一味地寻找，故答案为D。

16.B解析：本题问“酵素通过什么方式将蛋白质特为氨基酸?”根据题文中“enzymesbreaktheproteinsintoaminoacids”可将相关部分定位于小标题为“WhatCaloriesDo?(卡路里起什么作用?)”部分。其中第十自然段提到“Ourbodies'burn'thecaloriesintheoatmealthroughmetabolicprocesses,bywhichenzymesbreak...theproteinsintoaminoacids”，即“我们的身体在新陈代谢过程中消耗掉燕麦里的卡路里，通过这种消耗，酵素将……蛋白质转为氨基酸。”也就是说，通过“消耗卡路里”的方式将各种物质进行转化。这里“burn”和选项中“consumption(消耗)”意思相近。因此，B项“卡路置的消耗”正确。

17.fivecuppedhandfulsfivecuppedhandfuls解析：细节理解题。根据最后两段内容，“eatingfiveormoreservingsoffruitandvegetableseveryday．Oneservingisroughlytheamountthatfitsintothepalmofcuppedhand．”每人每天400克的蔬菜和水果可以分为五份进食，每份的量约为放入杯状手掌中的量。

18.thesubjectofmoneythesubjectofmoney解析：本题的关键词是differentpointsofview，加上后面的辅助信息“whichWassoextremethatIgrewcuriousandintrigued”，由此寻读原文第3段，可找到核心信息：thesubjectofmoney。

19.D解析：题目问在雪橇狗的长距离训练中，什么尤为重要。原句说，Conditioningthedogstorunlongdistancesisvital(使狗适应长距离跑至关重要)。D中getaccustomedto与原文conditionto意思一致，因此答案为D项。原文并未说每天都要跑上2000到3000英里，A项错误。

20.B解析：参见第4段第1句：Nano一词源于希腊语，表示“侏儒”。纳米技术就是对小于100毫微米的物质的研究与应用，这些物质就相当于分子或病毒的大小体积。

21.A解析：分析选项可知，对话与Prof.Johnson有关。再根据对话中男士说的oneinamillion可知，Prof.Johnson这样的好老师是万里挑一，故答案为A项。

22.specific

23.concerned

24.residents

25.traditional

26.chest

27.B

28.B解析：细节题。关键信息中的intrigue"激起……的兴趣或好奇心”一词是难点。iPod对电视的影响使人们倍感兴趣，那是因为“美国广播公司的热播剧集《绝望主妇》及《迷失》可以在iPod上收看”这个宣告而引起的，故答案为B。

29.B解析：信息明示题。文章第四段介绍了弗兰克林在费城任邮局局长期间所作的贡献，包括协助建立第一个图书馆和大学、组建消防队、启动街道照明项目、筹款建医院等，由此可排除A、C、D，故选B。

30.B解析：对话中，女士说现在已经七点半了，他们得抓紧时间赶去火车站。男士说他们只需要半个小时就可以到达火车站，而且火车八点十五才开，如果他们马上动身的话，一定可以赶上。故本题答案为B。

31.D解析：根据选项，本题可能考查的是房主对待housesitter的工作的态度。从对话中“thehomeownersdon'twanttomakeafuss”可知，尽管housesetter没有做好自己的工作，但为了息事宁人房主还是会给对方付钱，选Dmakeafuss的意思为“大惊小怪，吵吵闹闹”。

32.B解析：目的原因题。学生们无法顾及学业(maintainingtheirgrades)的原因在于他们花了太多时间在网络上(spendingsomuchtimeontheNet)。

33.D解析：女士问男士辩论小组是进了全国竞赛还是被淘汰了，男士则回答说最近很忙，没有关注，答案显然是D(不知成功与否)。

34.D

35.A解析：从选项看，问题可能涉及到其中一个或两个人。从女声的语气判断，女的不太愉快，因为她说：要是跟你走就好了，我不喜欢那个剧，演技太令人失望了…男的说到：“Wehadadelightfultime．”，这里关键的就是“adelightfultime”(过得愉快)。故选A。

36.C解析：M:Ihavetoomanycoursesthissemester.I'mgoingtodroponeofthem.

W:Inordertodothat,you'llhavetogothroughtheproperchannels.

Q:Whatadvicedoesthewomangivetheman?

语义替换题。女士建议男士要通过正规渠道来停修课程，所以C(遵照正式的程序)正确。

37.B

38.D解析：文中说Johnson听到了Midofi的小提琴演奏，想要给她录一卷磁带，带到美国去“ShemustmakeatapeandlwilltakeittotheUnitedStates”，故正确答案为D项。

39.D

40.mutuallymutually解析：mutually意为“相互地，彼此地”。空格位于系动同和形容词之间，可知应填副词修饰作表语的形容词。

41.theFed'sprogramtobuycommercialpapertheFed'sprogramtobuycommercialpaper解析：最后一段中提到了政府支持信贷市场的两种方式。第一种是根据计划直接购买公司短期债券(theFed'sprogramtobuycommercialpaper)，第二种是为公司发行债券提供支持。题干问的是第一种。

42.keepupwithcurrentdevelopments

43.C解析：文章第1～5段都是介绍手机网络营运商利用GPS的追踪功能为父母追踪孩子，而第6、7段介绍了新生的公司利用追踪功能提供的“另类”服务，末段是对前7段内容的一个总结，可见本文主要是介绍追踪技术的用处的，本题应选C。

44.C解析：细节题。从第一段最后一句可知，私有化的特点是：借大量的钱投资；第二段进一步指出私有化的特点是：将本应该归入社会保障的工资税变成个人投资。为了弥补社会福利的亏空(makeuptheshortfall)，政府必须借钱。就此，我们可以得出结论，“privatizers"是美国社会保障私有化这一政策的支持者，私有化的必然结果就是政府通过债券的形式向公民借款，因此C项正确。

45.MM解析：本文的第三段中提到：“agreatstorm，whichlastedseveraldayssweptoverthevillage，causingheavydamagetonature”。其意思是：一场持续了几天的暴风雨横扫了他们的村庄，对大自然造成了严重的损坏。这里选用了动词现在分词形式(causing)，“causing"在句子中起伴随状语的作用。

46.C解析：推断题。文章第二段和第三段主要论述了现在依然存在自我药疗的原因，即医生很难治愈人们不良的生活习惯造成的亚健康状态，所以C正确。

47.D解析：细节题。出于某种原因，披头士没有与iTune进行过关于合作销售披头士乐曲的谈判，选项A可以排除。虽然它曾经与微软就此问题谈判过，但是因为双方差距太大无法达成协议。披头士提出的条件很苛刻，包括建成实质上的店中之店。这是微软等公司不能接受的。最终它只能自己建立销售网络来销售。

48.Peaksinbothspringandautumnseparatedbyasummerlow．Peaksinbothspringandautumnseparatedbyasummerlow．解析：事实细节题。解题的关键词是第4段第3句中的ina11instances，意为“所有的研究”，实指上文提到的关于intellectualseasonalcycles的所有研究，故可推断下文提及的正是这些研究得出的总结，只需简单改写即为本题答案。

49.C解析：选项C将第3段第4句中的一些信息点拼凑在一起，但选项C中各信息点的关系在原文中并不存在，因此只有选项C符合题意。第3段末句表明选项A的说法正确；选项B中的designerclothes意为“由设计师专门设计的服装”，决非一般大众的着装，结合第3段倒数第2句既可推断选项B也是正确的说法；根据该段首句可判断选项D正确。

50.B解析：文章列举的文化交际中存在的问题都是在跨国公司发生的事例，可见在作者看来，这一问题在跨国公司里尤为突出，故B正确。选项A和C是具体事例涉及的双方，不是问题出现的范围。

51.EE解析：从语法结构看,此处缺少谓语动词,再从句子意思看,“社会结构的变革可能会间接地影响青少年犯罪率。”故选择affect最合适。

52.C解析：原文第二段第一句就说“他的方法建立在检测文件打印质量的瑕疵上”，然后下文接着说老式的方法主要靠打字机键盘的特定字体弯曲来追踪文件，又说他的方法与老式的相似，利用打印机内部的滚筒和磁镜设计方面有瑕疵的事实来追踪文件。因此可以推断新旧两种方式的共同核心在于印刷设备的细微缺陷。故C项含义与之相符，为正确答案。
