2.段落大意题。根据第三段的关键词“oilworkers”“Fieldarcheologists”“aTexasNationalGuardgroup”和“travelers”可知这段主要讲的是被飓风困住的人,所以选B。

3.段落大意题。根据最后一段的“Butthere’reafewthingsyoucandotoprepareyourselfforsomeunexpectedemergencies."可知这段主要给出了一些应对预料之外的紧急情况的建议,所以选A。

4.文章出处题。文章介绍了飓风给人们带来的危害,同时给读者提供了一些应对突如其来的飓风的建议,这些和人们的生活密切相关,所以选C。C答案：1.B;2.D;3.D;4.A解析：1.推理判断题。第一段第二句说“不幸的是,它们不是很有效”。也就是说,普通的斑马线并不起作用,绝大多数司机根本就不减速。故选B。

2.细节理解题。第三段最后一句说,先前见过3D斑马线的Thakkar和Pandya决定在印度用相同的方法进行测试看看它们是否有用,这种斑马线让司机以为街上放着大木头。由此可知,司机看到3D斑马线减速是因为他们误认为街上有大木头,故选D。

3.段落大意题。最后一段第一句是该段主题句,意思是“可以肯定的是,在这个城市最危险的四条公路上使用3D斑马线之后的六个月里,再没有被报道发生过事故!”由此可知,木段讲述了3D斑马线的作用,即到目前为止效果不错,没有事故发生。因此推断本段主要讨论了3D斑马线的积极效果,故选D。

4.推理判断题。最后一段最后一句说,“所以让我们一起期待吧。”作者期待更多的3D斑马线出现在街上,因此推断作者对于3D斑马线持支持的态度,故选A。D答案：1.D;2.C;3.C;4.B;5.A

解析：1.考查句意理解。通读全文可知,美国国家航空航天局的科学家们的这句话表达了科学家们的信心,并不是说他们已经掌握了确切证据,所以选D项。

2.考查细节理解。由第一段最后一句话可知,C正确。

3.考查细节理解。从第七段内容可以得出,这些行星之所以重要,是因为它们处于恒星外的"宜居带"上。

4.考查推理判断。从第九段的内容可以推断出B项正确。科学家认为在银河系可能有比恒星更多的行星。

5.考查主旨大意。新闻的主题一般在第一段,而文章正是围绕第一段展开的,所以选A。美国国家航空航天局的科学家有信心在地球外找到生命。答案：

1.客观填空D

2.客观填空E

3.客观填空A

4.客观填空C

5.客观填空G

解析：1.本段是讲应声虫的特点。D选项"即使提出的所有的点子都互相矛盾",与空前句相承接,符合语境,故选D。2.本段是建议与应声虫讨论他们的行为,E选项"有时候他们没意识到他们对每件事都同意"符合语境,故选E。3.

A选项"询问他们的观点是什么"与空后句中的"andasktheiropinions"相照应,符合语境,故选A。4.空前句是推测应声虫总是同意的原因,C选项提供了另一种可能,符合语境。5.

空前句"Thankthemfortheirideas",而G选项说明这样做的好处,且G项中的This指代上文的做法,前后衔接紧密。故选G。答案：1.A;2.B;3.B;4.A;5.C;6.B;7.D;8.A;9.A;10.C;11.B;12.D;13.A;14.C;15.B;16.D;17.A;18.C;19.B;20.D

解析：1.根据文中的"WhenIaskedDadwhyhishatwasputonbackwards"知,作者看到父亲反戴着(wearing)帽子。

2.联系下文可知,父亲对他的行为做解释。

3.根据常识,牲畜每天都要喝水,所以水箱每日(daily)都要装水。

4.根据"ittookalongtimetofill"可以推知,父亲这期间开始做其他的事情。goaheaddoingsth."开始做某事"。

5.联系overflow可知,此处指水不断地流会出现溢出的危险(danger)。

6.水箱满了,然后水溢出来,这样水就会被浪费(wasted)。

7.根据下文中的"Whenhefinishedhis8andbegan...whereitwassupposedtobe"可知,父亲说明他反戴帽子的原因(reason)。

8.根据语境,此处是说当他做完杂务,脱掉工作服。同时第一段中的"wheremyfatherwasdoingchores"也是提示。

9.当他做完杂务,脱掉工作服的时候,
