参考答案

1.B

2.D解析：她为了看望Dagmar假装成一名清洁工。

3.A参见句子：Theypointoutthatatacircus，forexample，wemayseeelephants，monkeys，dogsandotheranimalsdoingquiteskillfulthings．句中they指的就是scientists。

4.B解析：见原文第二段。履历就像是一种书面的销售展示。

5.C解析：本题为细节辨认题。文章在第三段开头就指出现代的铁丝网的材料不同于过去，它由双股构成因而更为结实。

6.C解析：见原文第二段。鸟利用蚂蚁为它整理羽毛是一种不寻常的方式。根据上下文可以判断出词义。

7.C

8.A事实细节题。

【应试指导】从文章的结尾处可知这位警察就是马克，他来看望自己的舅舅布朗先生。

9.C解析：文章第五行，第六行告诉我们，“一些银行没有开门”，所以这就是为什么许多人跑到开门的银行去取钱的原因。

10.D解析：此题为细节题。、仔细阅读会发现文中第一段第6句讲Andyet，youknowitwasprobablyduetoyourabilityandhardwork，此句的含义是：成功需要能力和勤奋，故D为正确答案。

11.C解析：参见第四段。

12.C

13.C

14.D解析：从文章最后一段前3行中能归纳出来。

15.B解析：由第一段“Elephantsdon'tforget—atleast,femaleelephantsdon't.Elephantfamiliesarematriarchal.”和画线词句“anelephantmatriarchsignalsthefamilytogatheraroundher”可推断出正确答案为B。

16.C解析：2500年前就是公元前5世纪，希腊人是不注意保护木材的，当时的希腊人所使用的燃料是以木材为主。选项C是正确的。

17.C解析：第八段说，马戏团的杂技演员在表演时没有安全网，一旦受伤便会有出血的可能。因此与艾滋病病毒携带者共同演出是危险的。

18.B解析：除了从First到Fifth五方面外，还要加上最后一段所述步骤：Besuretotryoutthecomputerbeforeyoubuyit所以总共6个步骤。

19.D由第一段的最后两句可知本题选D项。

20.A

21.C根据对全文内容的把握，可以知道，宇航员在太空的生活不容易，所以他们必须学会许多新的与在陆地上生活不同的事情。

22.A解析：题考查的是对句意的理解能力。该句的意思是“有国际市场销售经验”，A选项符合文义。

23.C解析：本题为是非判断题。作者在文中指出现代化大城市迫使人们去适应它的环境。人们在城市中过着一种与大自然分离的生活。大自然所赐予人类的最简单的东西也变得非常珍贵。A、B及D项都是作者在文中提到的。

24.B解析：见原文第二段。骑自行车的人被迫适应新的一套轮子。这里指汽车。

25.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。

26.A

27.C解析：本题属细节题。根据文章第二段最后一句即可选出答案。

28.A解析：通过句子“ForthefirsttimeinmylifeIgotafairlyclearpictureofmyself”可知。

29.A解析：第三段指出，香港作为连接中国和世界的转口贸易港口，它的商业命运日益依赖于这种地位。所以A对。

30.B根据文章内容，可知B项不正确，courttennis并不是MajorWalterWingfield发明的。

31.B根据四个选项的含义，再结合生活常识，可以判定他只是有可能得分不会超过80分(也有可能得分超过80分)，故应选B项。

32.C

33.C解析：curselikedevils意为“像魔鬼一样诅咒”。

34.B解析：屏住呼吸。catchone’sbreath意为“屏住呼吸”。

35.C]onlynotmuch用在一起不符合语言习惯，且逻辑上不通。onlyverymuch逻辑上不通，因为verymuch指“很多”，前面再加上only(仅仅，只有)意思上就讲不通。如果说onlytoomuch那意味着象形文字能表达的内容太多了，与文意不合，故用somuch，意思是指象形文字能够表达的只有这么多。

36.C22．答案为C

根据上句内容，else(其他的，别的)符合句意，其他三项与文中语义不符，应予排除。

37.C解析：本题属习惯逻辑题。下文中举例说明：有些人以他们居住的地方名称来取名字的。

38.D

39.A解析：他为建立在持久和平的基础上的相互信任迈出了第一步。

40.A解析：(接上一个问题)并将自己的孩提时代与今日孩子们的相比较。

41.C此题测试理解、辨词和推理能力。在该句中，英文aroundthem，意为“在它们周围”，及下旬中aroundthecity，意为“在城市周围”都提示了．此处的填充词应表达一个“郊区的”的意思。但如没有掌握英文suburban一词，可用排除法。city为“城市”，urban为“城市的”，countryside

为“农村”，因而只剩一个suburban，它必定是答案。

42.D解析：见上一条。

43.D这时文章才切入正题。作者要说的是自己的孩童时代与现在的儿童有什么不同。选项A是正确的。

44.B

45.C解析：这篇文章介绍了奥林匹克运动会的历史。有记载的第一次奥林匹克运动会是在公元前776年的希腊举行的。

46.A解析：1908年，在英国伦敦，奥运会第一次给获胜的运动员颁发金牌。

47.B25．答案为B

根据句意和下文空格所在句子“activitiesinthesubconsciousmind”可知。

48.A解析：高尔夫场地用course，golfcourse。选项A是正确的。

49.A前面提到他的姐姐们已经“tearsintheireyes”，所以此处应是“我也被他的话感动(touched)了”。

50.A解析：Highdefinition高清晰度。能与电视的屏幕竞争的是电影。选项A是正确的。

51.D13．答案为D

今年比去年粮食产量增加5%。比较时句型为主语+谓语十倍数(分数)十形容词(副词)比较级+than...。

52.C14．答案为C。制定计划比实施计划容易的多。比较两事物时，对应的句型，遵循前后一致的原则。

53.B根据题意应选择"没有耐心"，moveabout是动词短语，about为副词。句中要说明人物是如何耐不住的，常用副词。

54.B本题考查定语从句。

【应试指导】句意：别人给了我三本关于烹饪的书，第一本是我真正喜欢的。这是一个定语从句，which指代threebooks。从句中有thefirst，因此关系代词前要加介词0f。

55.B19．答案为B

句中sincewhen表示从何时起到现在为止，句中谓语要用现在完成时态。

56.C解析：nowthat为连接词，意为“既然”。

57.B解析：本题为关系词辨析题。关系代词或副词的选择不仅取决于它所修饰的先行词，还受到后面的动词影响。storesth．insomeplace意为“把……贮存在……”，因此，本题只能选B。本句大意为：农民们用木材建造房屋来贮存谷物。

58.A解析：根据题意应是把传真发过去。选项A是正确的。

59.C解析：报纸上所登的东西用介词in。选项C是正确的。句意为：“我申请的工作是我在报纸上广告栏看到的。”
