参考答案

1.D文章第一段第二行ThemodernEnglishlanguagegrewbyabouttheyear1400．也就是15世纪。

2.D解析：这个小题问Jalpur在自家的田地里可以看见什么。答案可以从第一段后两句得出。句中的theirfatherslandingthelatestcatch的意思是“他们的父亲把刚捕来的鱼卸到岸上。”

3.B根据文中第一段第三句，可知LostSea是世界上最大的地下湖泊。

4.C解析：通过两个人的对话可以看出。

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

6.C解析：参见倒数第一段和第二段。

7.A此题为理解题。从文中第3段最后一句．．．Mauritiuswastobecomethefourthcountryintheworldtoissuestamps可知，当时世界上使用邮票的国家并不多。故A为正确答案。

8.B词义猜测题。

从第二段可知，feeloutofsorts意为心情不好”。

9.C解析：本题为词汇知识考查题。题中resortedto为关键词。首先从文章中搜索出resortedto所在位置，然后借助上下文进行推敲、猜测。第3段第1、2句讲工会努力通过bargaining改变现状，如果不成，工会就会resortedtostrikes。依照上下文推断resortedto为“求助，诉诸”等意思。故C项是正确答案。而A停止，B放弃，D继续都不符合逻辑推理。

10.C解析：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陆地不同的事情。

11.A本题是对细节信息推理的考查。题中关键词是AgathaChristie。经查找原文发现有两处提到这位作家(第1、3段)。第3段Ireadastory．．．byAgathaChristie．．．symptoms．．．written．．．arethesameas．．，说明护士是从AgathaChristie写的小说中知道这一症状的。因此可以推断AgathaChristie从未见过那女婴。所以A项是正确的。

12.A42．答案为A

根据第二段的描述可知McGaritygirl面对饥饿的孩子无动于衷，自私又冷酷，因此选A。

13.B解析：本题为词义推测题。根据上下文我们可知，作者认为也许我们人类很侥幸，上文提到的两种倾向会相互制衡，那么地球的温度就会保持目前的水平了。

14.A见原文第四段。Keiko一两岁时被抓，之后不停地北转过多处地方饲养。但所有地方都在冰岛的南边，水温比冰岛高，而且已经是将近30年了。因此当人们决定把它放归大自然，回到它自己的家乡冰岛时，担心它已不能适应那里的低水温了。但相反，它非常适应。

15.B解析：本题为细节信息归纳推理题。题中关键词为infer．．．thegoalof．．。infer说明须利用文中所给的条件，根据短文提供的情景进行推理和概括，而不能只凭某句话或主观看法下结论。第3段末句．．．by1890theunionhaddiedout及第4段末句mostfederallaws．．．werenotpasseduntilthe1930's说明KnightsofLabour早在1890年便瓦解了，而含有保护工人权益内容的联邦法律直到26世纪30年代才被通过。故正确B项。至于A项，其信息与文章内容不符；C项文中没有提及；D项内容不仅文章中没有，也不符合逻辑推理，所以都是错的。

16.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。

17.D

18.B解析：全文讲的鲸鱼搁浅的事。选项B是正确的。其他选项都是局部，文章提到，但不是主题。

19.C参见第三段和最后一段的最后两句。

20.B解析：第一段以及通篇。这篇小故事讲的就是开车司机在进入主路时见停车标志要停车，看见减速标志要降低速度开慢车。故事中的情景是有的路段是停车标志，而有的路段是减速标志，这才有故事的发生。

21.C50．答案为C。从最后一段可知，学生拥有枪支情况非常严重。

22.D解析：参见第一段的最后一句：租电动汽车的人说，开电动汽车所获得的远比所支付的要多。

23.C本题为事实细节题。从第二段第一句“Aluminumisli
