1、[Cl]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：此处需填入名词、形容词或动词分词。空格后的ina...document

表明无烟区立法的可能性在这个文件中写明了或体现了，outlined“概述”符合语

境。

2、[C2]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：此处应填入动词的过去分词，与has构成完成时态，宾语是anti­

smokingprogrammes（反吸烟方案）。第一段末句提到纽约市的官员们最近开始考虑

在公园和户外禁止吸烟，由此推断MichaelBloomberg应该是支持反吸烟方案的。

championed、,支持，拥护”符合上下文语义。

3、（C31

标准答案：0

知识点解析：空格前的the表明此处需填入名词。本文都在讲有关禁烟的事情，故

填restrictions"限制”，指出MichaelBloomberg似乎开始对吸烟限制的程度持保留

态度（qualify）。

4、[C4]

标准答案：C

知识点9M：此处需填入名词、形容词或分词，修饰impact”影响，冲击”。因为面

临再次参选，MichaelBloomberg好像对禁烟的程度持保留态度，他想先弄清楚在

公园吸烟是否对健康有不良影响，因而填negative“负面的”。再者，impacl这个词

本身就含有不好的影响之意。

5、[C5]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：此处需填入修饰possible的副词。logistically“逻辑上”符合此处语

义，指“在几千万英亩的地区实行禁令逻辑上也许行不通

6、[C6]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：此处需填入名词，与in构成地点状语。根据后文suchas所列举的地

方，可知此句讲的是“除了一些特定情况，室外应该允许吸烟"，circumstances“环

境：情况”符合句意。

7、[C7]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：此处需填入primarily修饰的形容词成分词，与forchildren一起作

outdoorareas的后置定语。此处大意是：这些户外场所主要是给孩子用的，

designated”指定”符合语义。

8、[C8]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此处应填入名词、形容词或分词，作表语，说明fines（罚款）应该是什

么样的。ChristineQuinn是赞同禁烟计划的,所以罚款应是modest"适当的”,而非

mild”温和的,轻微的”。

9、[C9]

标准答案：L

知识点解析：空格后用but转折，根据increasing可知此处应填入表数量稀少的形

容词或分词，作表语。rare“稀少的”符合要求。

10、[C10]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：此处需填入动词的过去分词，与have一起构成现在完成时。上一句

提到加利福利亚州起了带头的作用（vanguard）,可见它的立法委员“禁止”在所有的

州立公园和一部分海滩吸烟，prohibited符合句意。

11、Itissaidthattryingtodomorethanonetaskatthesametimeisnotproductiveor

profitable.

标准答案：J

知识点解析：根据domorethanonetask和productiveorprofitable可查找到J段。

该段第2句讲到，人们认为要效率高或有利可图，就得同时完成多个任务。第3句

JeffDavidson则指出事实是相反的，即同时完成多个任务不会提高效率或有利可

图。题目是对这两句话的概括，其中domorethanonetask对应原文的accomplish

multipletasks,而atthesametime对应simultaneously。

12、Itishardtorecognizethesourceofone'sstressinthatpeopleresponsedifferentlyto

thingsintheirlife.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：根据关键词thesourceofone'sstress和response定位到B段。该段第

4句说到“他(PaulRosch)不能解释压力来源，因为一个人的压力可能是另一个人的

快乐”，言下之意是说每个人对于生活中的事情的反应不一样。题目句子是对这句

话的同义概括。

13、Accordingtotheauthor,oneshouldnotspendhourswatchingepisodesorplaying

onlinegamesbutshouldstaywithfriends.

标准答案：H

知识点解析：根据watchingepisodes,playingonlinegames等可查找到H段。该段

刚开始讲到笑声是缓解压力的良药，但第4句开始转而指出，不宜花4个小时的时

间看电视剧或玩网络游戏，这些时间应该用来和朋友相处。题目句子是对该段落最

后几句话的概括。

14NJunkfoodcansignalthebraintostopproducingstresshormones,thusbringing

short-termcomfort.

标准答案：G

知识点解析：根据关键词junkfood可查找到G段。该段首句便讲到，垃圾食品的

高脂肪和高碳水化合物通过示意大脑停止制造压力荷尔蒙，的确能带来短暂的舒适

感。题目句子是对该句子的同义转述，其中stopproducingstresshormones对应原

文的stopthedischargeofstresshormoneso

15>Sincethe1950s,peoplerealizethatstresswillbecomeworseifthepersondoesn't

controlitandispessimistic.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：根据题目中的1950s可查找到D段第3句。题目是对该句子的同义转

述。其中bccomcworsc与原文的aggravated同义，doesn'tcontrolit对应原文的has

nosenseofcontrol,而pessimistic——词贝ij是对原文hasnohopethatthingswillget

better的概括。

16NAccordingtothestatisticsfromasurvey,wccanconcludethatalotofpeoplecan't

handlestressproperly.

标准答案：E

知识点解析：根据关键词statistics,asurvey和handlestress可查找到E段。该段前

几句讲到，“有些人是精神健康的完美范例。他们能运用他们解决问题的能力处理

他们的压力来源，而其余的人却做不到这一点“，接着用数据46%、57%和53%列

举了一项调查研究的结果。作者引入调查结果是为说明这些承受生活压力的人很多

都不能适当地处理压力来源，故题目结论出自E段。

17>Whenwearefacedwithstress,ourbrainswillbestrickenfirstandthenourbodies.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据关键词句Ourbrainswillbestrickenfirst和bodies可查找到A

段。该段第6句讲到，我们每个人都会受到压力的攻击，首先是大脑，其次是身

体。题目句子是对该句子的同义转述，其中first和then呼应原文的first和later。

18、Astudyfromauniversityshowsthatstressmayaffectthemetabolismoffatsinthe

body.

知识点解析：根据Astudyfromauniversity和metabolismoffats灯查找到G段。该

段末句讲到，俄亥俄州立大学的一项研究发现压力引起甘油三酸脂在血液中停留更

久，从而影响体内脂肪正常的新陈代谢。题1=1句子是对该研究发现的同义转述，其

中affect是原文interferingwith的同义替换。

19、Oneoftherelaxingmeasuresthatcanrestrictattentionandcalmthemindis

meditationormindfulness.

标准答案：N

知识点解析：根据relaxingmeasures和meditationormindfulness等可查找到N段。

该段提到「几种放松技巧(relaxationtechniques),题目句子正是该段末尾提到的最

后一个技巧，即meditationormindfulnesso

20、Anexperimentfoundstudentsweremorelikelytoberelievedfromphysicaland

mentalstresswhentheyrepeatedlywroteaboutasingletraumaticevent.

标准答案：L

知识点解析：根据题目中的experiment,students和asingletraumaticevent定位至

L段。该段提到的实验将重复写单一创伤事件的学生和写中性事件的学生进行了对

比，发现前者比后者更容易从压力中缓解过来。题目是对该实验发现的概括，原文

中的showedfewer...与题目中的morelikelytoberelievedfrom...内容一

致。

三、仔细阅读（本题共10题，每题L0分，共70分。）

21、Theauthorsetsupthestandardofoverweightpeoplebasedonthefactthat.

A、thenumberofoverweightpeoplehasastonishinglyincreased

B、peoplehaveadifferentideaabouttheirdesirableweightnow

C、overweightbecomesathreattopeople'shealth

D、theoverweightproblemhaslongbeenstudied

标准答案：B--

知识点解析：作者在第2段第2句定义了超重的概念，虽然没有明确指出为什么要

以超出20%为标准，但是从下一句中的插入成分even...可以推断，以前并非

以20%为超重的标准的，现在以此为标准是因为人们对理想体重的标准改变了，

因此选项B为本题答案。

22、Bysaying"Soaretheattendanthealthrisks",theauthormeans.

A、Americasuffershealthrisksaswellastheoverweightproblem

B、healthrisksresultedfromoverweightareserioustoo

C、overweightisclassifiedasoneofthehealthproblems

D、peoplehavealsopaymuchattentiontothepossiblehealthrisks

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题考点是一个倒装句。第2段主要指出肥胖问题很严重，可以推断

本句中的so指的是thehealthrisks也很严重。第3段第2句表明超重造成各种健康

问题，由此可推断本段首句中的iheatlendantheakhrisks可理解为“超重造成对健康

的危害”，结合这两点的理解，可推断选项B为本题答案。

23、WhatdoesWilliamDietzthinkofoverweight?

A、Overweightshouldbetreatedasapublichealthproblem.

B、Overweightshouldbeattributedtogluttonyandsloth.

C、Overweighthasmuchtodowithnutritionalproblems.

D、Overweighthasnothingtodowiththeoveruseofcars.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第5段首句是WilliamDietz对肥胖症的看法，句中的obesityasa

publichealthproblem表明Dietz认为肥胖症是一个公共健康问题，因此选项A为本

题答案。

24NMostAmericansbelievethat.

A、theoverweightproblemhascostthenationmuch

B、obesityisrelatedtoone'sphysicalconditions

C、peoplewhoareoverv/eightareunfortunate

D、gluttonyandslotharetwodeadlysins

标准答案：D

知识点解析：第6段句末的twoofthesevendeadlysins指的就是该段第3句提到的

gluttonyandsloth,由此可见，选项D为本题答案。

25、Inordertosolvetheoverweightproblem,theauthorsuggeststhateveryoneneedto

A、betaughttopreventgainingweight

B、beeducatedtoloseweighteffectively

C>seekhelpfromconsumerinformation

D、knowwhatmakesahealthydinner

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第7段第1、2句表明prevenlinggain的做法比较可行，而第8段末

句表明education很重要，结合这两点，可推断选项A为本题答案。

A、Thebeautifulscenerythatthey'veneverseen.

Theeurothathasneverbeenusedbyanyone.

C>Thecurrenciesthatwillbereplacedbytheeuro.

D、Theculturethattheyarenotfamiliarwith.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本题解题的关键在于理解第2段首句1中的them与上一段末句开头

的They所指相同，都是指各国的旧货币，因此本题应选C。

27^Whenwilltheoldcurrenciesbenolongerused?

A、Sincethe2002NewYear'sDay.

B、Whenalltheautomatictellermachinesareready.

C^Afterthetradershelpwithdrawtheoldcurrencies.

D、Theexacttimeisnotsettledyet.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：第2段末句开头的nextstep只表明欧元将代替旧货币，但具体的时间

是不明确的，因此本题应选D。

28、Since2002NewYear'sEve,travelersintheeurozonecan.

A、buysouvenirsonlywitheuros

B、getonlyeurosfrommanyofEurope'sATMs

C^stillgetoldcoinsfromtraders

D、useeurosinanyEUcountries

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第3段末句中的dispensingnothingbuteuros表明许多ATM只提供欧

元，选项B为正确的说法，为本题答案。

29、WhichofthefollowingistrueaboutSwitzerland,NorwayandtheCzechRepublic?

A、TheystillkeeptheirowncurrencieslikeDenmarkandSweden.

B、TheyreplacetheirowncurrencieswiththeeuroliketheEUcountries.

C、Theyrefusetoaccepttheeurolikealltheothernon-EUcountries.

D、Theydon'thavebankswheretravelerscanexchangethenewcurrency.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第4段末句开头的S。have...是回应上一句提到的英国、丹麦和

瑞典等国的做法的，表明该句提到的瑞士、挪威和捷克与上面提到的三个国家做法

相同，即它们都保留自己原有的货币，因此A为本题答案。

30、TheuseoftheeuromakesiteasiertocomparepricesthroughoutEuropebecause

A^thesamepriceswillbesetforthesameproducts

B、thepricedifferenceswillbemuchmoreapparent

C^consumerscanavoidcomplexcurrencyconversions

D、tradeacrossdifferentregionswillbecomemorefair
