2、YadinneededhundredsofpeopletohelphimbecausethepalaceofMasadawashuge

andtheworkwasdifficult.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：文章的第二段详细说明了Yadin为什么会邀请成百年轻人来参与圣殿

的发掘工作，而且还描述了发掘工作的艰苦条件和恶劣环境。例如文中“Itwasa

hugepalace.Heknewthathundredsofworkersweregoingtobeneededfordigging

there,soYadinextended...,H€Masadaisnotapleasantplace...cametohelp”都说明第一

句是正确的。

3、Theresidentsofthepalacedidn'tneedtoworryaboutwatersuppliesfortherewasa

springinit.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文中可直贬找到判断这句话正确与否的依据，原文说明“Waterwas

broughtfromagreatdistancetothiswaterlessmountain...而此句却说圣殿中有泉

水，明显与原文不符。

4、TheJewsweredetermined(ocommittedsuicideratherthansurrendertotheRomans;.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：这道判断题表达的意思为Jews宁愿自杀也决不向罗马人屈服和投

降。通读全文后，可知晓文章的大意就是Jews为了不失去自由，宁愿在圣殿集体

自杀，也不愿向罗马人发降的英勇精神。从文中也可找到多处表达这种英勇精神的

句子，“ButtheJewsweredetenuinedtodieasfreeman,preferringtokillthemselves

whiletheywerestillfree...“等等都说明这句话是符合文章本意的。

5、TheJewishrebelstookoverthepalaceatMasadeinordertofightagainsttheRoman

rulers.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：从文章第七段中可找到“AfterHerod'sdeaththepalacebecameafortfor

theJewishrebelsfightingfortheirfreedomfromRome.”这句话说明了犹太信徒为了

自由而与罗马人反抗斗争，由此可判断这句话是正确的。

6、KingHerodhadhispalacebuiltatMasadabecausehewantedtostayawayfromthe

city.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：可从原文中找到KingHerod在Masada修理圣殿的原因，“Hehadhad

thispalacebuiltfarfrom:hecity.Itwaslonelyanditwassafe,hangingoverthe

steepestpartoftherock”这里可能会使一些同学产生迷惑，误认为这句话是正确的，

但通读全句可知道KingHerod把圣殿建在Masada上的主要原因并不是它离城市

远，而更主要是因为它山势险峻容易防守，这一点要弄清楚。

7、HundredsotyoungpeoplejoinedindiggingatMasadabecausetheywantedtoprove

thestorywastrue.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：从文中“NowYadinandhisyoungworkersweredigginginordertoprove

iswastrue."可知道Yadin和他的同伴发掘的目的是想证明这个传说是真实的，这

句话是符合文义的。

8、HundredsofyoungpeoplewhojoinedYadinindiggingatMasadawerealso

archaeologists.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：C

知识点解析：文章只说明了许多年青人怀着与Yadin同样的理想在Masada进行发

掘工作，全文中并没有说明他们也是考古工作者，因此无据可依。

9、Yadinextendantoyoungpeoplefromailovertheworldtojoinhimin

diggingatMasada.

标准答案：invitation

知识点解析：这句话很明显地表达出了Yadin向许多年青人发出邀请一起加入他的

发掘工作。“extendaninvitationtosb.”去达向某人发出邀请，文中也可找到答案

”...soYadinextendedaninvitationtoyoungmenandwomen...”。

10、Wallpainting,bathsandbeautifulrooms,whichtheyfoundinHerd'spalace,were

______again.

标准答案：broughttolife

知识点解析：这句话的主语为圣殿的壁画，休闲浴厅和美丽的房间，在文章中可找

说明这些事物的表述是“…wallpaintingandbathsancbeautifulroomwerebroughtto

lifeagain^broughttolife表达事物得到再现，填在此处符合文义。

11、TheJewshadnohopeofkeepingtheirfreedom,andwerefacingdeath.

标准答案：certain

知识点解析：此题可在文中找到原句。"TheJewshadnohopeofkeepingtheir

freedom,andwerefacingcertaindeath”,facecertaindeath表达“必死无疑”之意。

A、describethesuperiorityofthedevelopednations

B、stresstheneedforscientificandeducationaldevelopment

C>provethatunderdevelopednationsarebackward

D^showthepovertyandignoranceofThirdWorldcountries

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题考查对全文整体理解的能力。从全文来看，文章是要强调第三世

界国家发展科学的需要，而发展科学就必须发展教育，所以正确答案为B；A描述

发达国家的优越性；C证明欠发达国家是落后的；D表现第三世界国家的贫穷和无

知；这三项均与原文不符或无关。

49、Themostappropriatetitlefbrthisselectionwouldbe.

A、TheDevelopmentofaMaterialisticSociety

B、ScienceandTechnology

C、ScienceforSelf-Reliance

D^NaturalResources

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本题考查对全文整体理解的能力。本题需要理解掌握文章的中心思

想。作者在文章开始和在最后都强调第三世界国家为了独立自主而发展科学的需

要，所以正确答案不难找到。

50、Oneofthesolutionssuggestedtoimprovetheconditionsofunderdevelopmentis

A^iobuildmorefactories

B、toobtaintechnicaladvisorsfromtheWesternworld

C、toupgradetheeducationalandscienceprograms

D^toincreaseproductionandraiseprofits

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本题考查对细节的掌握。从第二段最后一句我们知道：然后这些国家

能够设计好自己的教育策略和所需要的技术教给自己的学生。从这里我们便知道正

确答案为C；A建更多的工厂；B从西方国家获得技术顾问；D增加生产，提高利

润：显然这三项均与原文不符。

51、Themajorconcernexpressedbyunderdevelopednationsregardingcurrent

A、theirpreoccupationwithprofitsoverlookstheneedformorehumanisticvalues

B、theirlawyersareignorantofinternationaltradelaws

CNthereisagreatneedforphysicians

D、theyhavenotbeenabletomakethebestuseoftheirownresources

标准答案：D

知识点解析：本题考查对相关细节的掌握。从文章第二段我们知道：很多前殖民地

国家的领导人呼吁发展科学技术。有了这些技术这些国家将能够更好地利用他们自

己国土提供的资源。这就是说他们现在最担心的是他们还不能充分利用自己的资

源，所以正确答案为D；A他们对利润的关注忽视对更多人类价值的需要；B他们

的律师不懂国际贸易法；C非常需要内科医生；这三项均与原文不符。

52、Accordingtothisselection,thekeystosocialdevelopmentandmaterialprogressare

A、profitsandpower

B、landandnaturalresources

C>scienceandeducation

D、iiidusliyandtcuhnulugy

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本题考查对文章主旨细节的掌握。文章一开始就谈到了这一点，这也

是本文的中心思想，所以读完全文后答案就不难找到。

Thegrowthofpopulationduringthepastfewcenturiesisnoproofthatpopulationwill

continuetogrowstraightupwardtowardinfinityanddoom.Onthecontrary,

Humanpopulationexpandsatanexponentialrate.

B、Populationgrowthhasshownfluctuationindemographichistory.

C^Populationgrowthcannotberegardedasasocialfailure.

D^Increaseinpopulationisrelatedtoproductivity.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题考查与文章主旨相关细节的掌握。从本文我们知道，人口增长并

不是直线增长而是有波动，每次增长都是在生产力水平提高后出现，随后又降下来

趋于稳定，人口增长被认为是代表经济进步和人类的胜利。A人类人口直线膨胀，

这显然与本文不符：B人口统计史表明人口增长出现波动：C不能把人口增长看作

是社会的失败；D人口增加与生产力相关。B、C、D均与本文相符。

54、Howmanysignificantdemographicchangeseveruccunedinthepastonemillion

years?

A^One.

B、Two.

C^Three.

D^None.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本题考查对相关细节的掌握。从文章第一段我们知道在过去一百万年

中人口经历了三次重大变化，所以这一题答案很容易找到。

55、Whatisfoundtohavecloserelationshipwithrapidincreaseinpopulation?

A、Warbetween2countries.

B、Waysdiscoveredtoincreaseproductivity.

C、Migrationfromacontinenttoanothercontinent.

D、Anewreligionbeginningtobeacceptedbypeople.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题考查对相关细节的掌握。从人类三次重大变化中我们知道每次人

口增长都与生产力、生产方式的提高有关，所以正确答案为B；A两国之间的战

争；C人口从一个大陆向另一个大陆的迁移；D一种新的宗教开始为人们所接受；

这三项均与本文不符或无关。

56>Whatcanbeconcludedwhenthecurrenttideofknowledgerevolutionebbs?

A、Productivitywillrise.

Productivitywillreceivenoimpact.

C、Populationgrowthwillslowdown.

D、Populationgrowthwillbecomeaccelerated.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本题考查对文章进行一定推理的能力。从人口前三次的重大变化中我

们知道每次人口增长后又开始下降趋于稳定，当前人类处于知识爆炸时代，科学技

术H新月异。如果这一潮流下降的话，那么可以推断人口增长会慢下来，所以正确

答案为C；A生产力将会增长：B生产力将不会受到影响；D人口增长将会加快。

很显然A、B、D均与本文不符。

57,Whatistheconceptmostpeoplehaveonpopulationgrowth?

A、Thepopulationisalwaysinconstantgeometricgrowth.

B、Rapidgrowthisfollowedbystablegrowth.

C>Deceleratedgrowthisfollowingbyadecline.

D、Nogrowthatall.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题考查对文章进行一定推理的能力。从文章一开始我们知道，人口

在过去几个世纪的增长并不能证明人口会继续无限地增长，相反，人口统计史证明

人口增长完全不是不停的。从这里我们推断，人们一般认为人口在不断地增长，而

作者并不这样认为.所以正确答案为A：R人口快速增长之后就是稳定的增长：C

减速增长之后是下降；D完全不增长。B、C、D均不可能是大多数人的观点。

58、[Bl]

A、usual

B、typical

C^average

D、popular

标准答案：B

知识点解析：typical“典型的”;usual"普通的average“普通的”;popular"流行

的“。文章第一高话提出观点说arthistory相比generalhistoryclasses来说，对增加

对一种文化的了解更为有效。那么在下文中很显然会详细比较“典型的"history

classes和arthistory的不同，因此选B。

59、[B2]

A、collects

B、funds
