1、[Cl]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：此处需填入谓语动词，由主语retailers可知是动词原形。上文提到，

商业街上的商店利用各种手段吸引顾客。此句also表明网络零售商也使用此类方

法，故填入的动词应与第1句中的use语义类似，deploy“利用”符合句意。

2、[C2]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：此处需填入修饰years的词，可能是形容词、分词或名词。根据空格

后所说“网络上零售商大打价格战”，可知这种事情可能发生在互联网发达的年份。

boom“繁荣，迅速发展“与years搭配，表示“繁荣的年份”，符合语境。

3、[C3]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：此处需填入名词，与e-mailmarketing,personalizedtechnology

smartsearchengines并列，这是网络零售商用来提来症量和销量的方式。

multimedia”多媒体”符合上下文语境。

4、[C4]

标准答案：0

知识点解析：此处需填入修饰e-mailservices的词。卜.文举了Lastminute,corn的例

子，说他们每周向顾客发送200多万封电子邮件，邮件的内容符合接收者的年龄、

生活方式等。由此可知网络零售商采用锁定特定目标群体的策略，故targeted”被定

为目标的''符合句意。

5、[C5]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：is…to表明此处需填入形容词或分词。根据句意“邮件内容……以适

合收件人的年龄、生活方式”，可知邮件的内容是有针对性地，故tailored”根据特

定需要制作、修改或调整”，符合句意。

6、[C6]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：此处需填入修饰use的副词。本句意为：电子邮件是一种完全不同的

媒介，有自己的文化，因此如果要达到预期效果，你得知道如何……使用它。

properly“正确地”符合语境，与effective呼应。

7、[C7]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：空格前的不定式标志词t。表明此处需填入动呵原形，且能与into搭

配。convert“转变”符合要求，convertlookersintobookers表示“把商品浏览者变成订

购者”。

8、[C8]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：此处需填入修饰scheme的词，an表明是元音开头。根据下文“购物

者只要阅读电子邮件、访问网站、购买商品，就可以得到•定的积分“，可知My

poinls是一项对网上购物者的奖励方案，故incentive”刺激的，鼓励的“正确。

9、[C9]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：空格前的be表明此处需填入分词或形容词,根据句意”所得积分可

以……各种商品和服务”,故redeemed“兑换”正确。

10、[C10]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：空格前的an表明此处需填入可数名词单数形式。本句句意为“用户在

网上填写一份……就可以得到400(资料)分”，profile”简介，概况”符合上下文语

义。

二、仔细阅读(本题共75题，每题7.0分，共75分。)

A^isbroughtbythepolarairofwinter

B、virtuallylasts(hroughoul(heyear

C、endswhenwintercomestotheSouthernhemisphere

D、beginswhenthesunraysstriketheTropicofCancer

标准答案：B

知识点解析：从首段和第2段首句的描述可以知道，南北半球的气候相反，当南半

球进入冬季、热带气旋季节结束的时候北半球却是夏季、热带气旋季节开始的时

候，解清了这些事实，就不难判断选项B为本题答案。

12、WhatistrueaboutthestormshowlingtowardsAsia?

A^TheyoriginateoverthePacific.

B、Theymainlygrowduringspringandsummer.

C、TheyinfluenceSoutheastAsiamostviolently.

D、Theyusuallyperishoffcoast.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第2段第3-5句说的是太平洋沿岸热带气旋的形成和影响，而且，如

果稍有地理知识的话，就知道菲律宾东都也在太平洋匕结合第3、4句的内容就

可以推断选项A为正确的说法。选项B没有原文依据；选项C和D都是第2段第

5句提到的内容，是关于墨西哥西南部的飓风的，与亚洲的暴风无关。

13、WhenthePacifichurricanesreachthelowerCalifornia,mostofthemwill

A、reducetheirintensity

B、causemuchpropertydamage

C、increasetheirintensity

D^resultingreatrainandfloods

标准答案：A

知识点解析：从第2段末句中的die和perish可以知道，多数太平洋飓风的强度会

减弱并最终消逝，虽然句末的squalls一词为超纲词，但这不影响对全句的理解，

而且，从die和perish也可推断，squalls应该是强度不如hurricanes的暴风，由此

可见，选项A为正确的说法。

14、WhatcanwelearnabouttheNationalHurricaneCenterinMiami?

A^ItmainlyprovidesprotectionagainsthurricanestoTexasandNewEngland.

B、ItconsistsofradarsalongthecoastofthewestandthenorthofU.S.

C、Itwarnsthewholecountryagainsttornadoes,severestormsandhurricanes.

D、1（supervisesthecoastalareasstretchingfromTexastoNewEngland.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：从末段第3句可以知道国家飓风中心的监测范围，第4句指出国家观

风中心主要监测的是海面能情况，结合这两句，即可知道选项D正确。选项A所

表示的范围过小了,而选项B正好相反，范围过大;选项C中的thewestandthe

northofU.S.（美国的西部和北部）与原文的westwardtoTexasandnorthwardto

NewEngland所指的地点是不同的。

15、Thepassagediscussesmostclearlyabout.

A、thefactorsthatcausehurricanes

B、theearlywarningsystemagainsthurricanes

C、themostriskyareasthatsufferhurricanes

D、theremediesforpropertydamagebyhurricanes

标准答案：C——

知识点解析：末段提到了国家飓风中心和国家气象中心，说明了美国为了预警飓风

所采取的措施，由此可见，选项C在文中是有清楚说明的。

A、preventthesun'sraysfromreachingtheearth'ssurface

B、causegreatclimatechangesinthenorthernhemisphere

C、meanawarmingupintheArctiC

D、raisethetemperatureoftheearth'ssurface

标准答案：D

知识点解析：从第1段对二氧化碳造成温室效应的原理描述，即可判断本题答案为

D项，根据第4段第3句“这种情况符合二氧化碳使地球变暖的理论”也可判断D项

符合题意。此外，本题也可以根据有关温室效应的常识求解。

17、Thearticlewaswrittentoexplain.

A^thegreenhouseeffect

B、themodelsofsolar-weatherinteractions

C、thesolareffectsontheearth

D、thecausesaffectingweather

标准答案：D,

知识点解析：文章前半部分（前四段）讲燃烧产生二氧化碳使地球产生温室效应，

后半部分（后三段）讲太阳对地球的影响使地球温度降低。尤其值得注意的是第5

段提出的问题Whichnaturalcausehasmosteffectontheweather?使我们推断出本文

旨在解释影响气候变化的原因。故D项为正确答案。

18、Whyisthefuelconsumptiongreaterinthenorthernhemisphere,buttemperatures

thereseemtobefalling?

A、Mainlybecausethelevelsofcarbondioxidearerising.

B、Becausetheinertiaoftheearth'sclimatetakeeffect.

C、Possiblybecausetheicecapsinthepolesarcmelting.

D^Partlybecauseintheoutputofsolarenergyvaries.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：从第5段最后一句给出的设问可知，第6段的首句是考点之所在，

即：“一种可能性（自然因素）是变化无常的太阳活动。”由此可以判断，D项的内

容符合题意。A项说的是人为的因素，即温室效应。事实上，A项和D项是作为

两个影响气候的对立因素出现的，同时也是本文论及的两个分话题，由此也可以直

接判断D项为正确答案。

19、Onthebasisoftheirmodels,scientistsareoftheopinionthat.

A、theclimateoftheworldshouldbebecomingcooler

B、theman-madewarmingeffecthelpstoincreasethesolareffects

C、i（willtakethousandsofyearsfbrtheinertiaoftheearth'sclimatetotakeeffect

D、thenewIccAgewillbedelayedbythegreenhouseeffect

标准答案：A

知识点解析：最后一段的第2句提到“科学家们研究的结果应该是地球进入新的冰

川时期，然而却没有出现这种情况”，这与A项的内容吻合。D项为本题的强干扰

项，根据文章，该项的含义正确。但就本题面言，题干针对的是models（模

型），因而判断范围只能针对solar-weatherinteractions,即太阳的作用。

20>IftheassumptionaboutthedelayofanewIceAgeiscorrect,.

A、thebestwaytoovercomethecoolingeffectwouldbetoburnmorefuels

B、theincreasedlevelsofcarbondioxidecouldwarmuptheearthquickly

C、icewouldsooncoverthenorthernhemisphere

D、thegreenhouseeffectcouldworktotheadvantageoftheearth

标准答案：D

知识点解析：文章最后一句中的ausefulcounter-balance是指有,益的抵消作用，即

二氧化碳产生的热效应可以抵消太阳热量减少使地球变冷的倾向，这对地球的热量

平衡是有利的。这与D项的内容相吻合。
