〃分。）

worldareproblemsthatcannotbeignoredanylonger.[Bl1]

37、[Bl]

标准答案：continuously

知识点解析：此处位于情态动词would和谓语动词re—produce之间。必然填副

词。

38、[B2]

标准答案：noted

知识点解析：此处是名词biologist的修饰语，一般应填形容词。语义上来说，表示

“著名的”最为自然。注意用过去分词形式的形容词，

39、[B3]

标准答案：commented

知识点解析:此空后接that从句，前面主语是abic、lugisl（wriling…作biologist的后

置定语），因此本空缺谓语动词。语法上需要用一般过去时态，用法上要求能够接

宾语从句，意义上基本表示“说，认为”等含义，与前文的say,believed语义上相

当。注意本词有两个m。

40、[B4]

标准答案：exhausted

知识点解析：此处所在句由Forexample引导，语义上用以解释说明前一句的内容

（海洋资源无尽），所以，在从句主语是noneofthegreatseafisheries（表示否定含义）

的情况下，谓语部分be后面的内容应该表示“是可以穷尽的”的含义。从语法形式

上看.本空位于weretobe的后面，应当用动词的一ed或-ing形式，或者用形容

词。注意本词的拼写，尤其是h的位置。

41、[B5]

标准答案：Previously

知识点解析：此处位于句首，后面接一个逗号，显然应该是修饰句子的副词。从下

面一句Recently,how-evcr…来看，本句与however引导的内容相对.后文是本句

的转折。由此猜测，本空格应填写与recently相对的表示时间的副词。

42、［B6J

标准答案：species

知识点解析：此处填endangered所修饰的中心词（名词），与Thelistof搭配，作of

的宾语，应该是复数名词。语义上，它应该是包含后文列举的鱼类、走兽、飞禽的

上义词，“物种”最为恰当。本词单复数同形。

43、［B7］

标准答案：Furthermore

知识点解析：同40题，此处也要填修饰整个句子的副词。语义上，在前两句提到

海洋物种和陆地物种一样受到威胁（inasmuchdanger）的前提下，本句用more...than

比较句说明海洋生物受到的威胁更为严重，也就是说，这是一种语义上的递进.因

而可以大致推测，木空费'进一步说，况且

44、［B8］

标准答案：alarming

知识点解析：此处是比较句中作表语的多音节形容词，说明threats的严重程度。

语义上表示“严重的”。

K)considerateL)seleciivelyM)assumptionN)relationshipO)coniacied

48、[SI]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：此处需填入副词，修饰bright和accomplished,表示聪明和杰出的程

度。由文章末尾可知阅读能力不强，但可以特别聪明.此处与文章末尾修饰smart

的exceptionally语义相近,故选exceedingly0

49、[S2]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此处需填入形容词.人们认为理解力和积极件是达到阅读的必要条

件，形容词词库中，只要fluenl能用来修饰readers,指“阅读流畅的人”，符合文章

语境，故选fluento

50、[S3]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：此处需填入形容词。下文提到患词盲的人快速说话也有困难，由此可

推断此处表示他们把看到的或听到的转化为“可理解的”语言有困难，用

underslandable修饰language最合适，表示他们不能用可以让人理解的语言来表

达。

51、[S4]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：此处需填入名词。此处形式及语义与havedifficulty(in)doingsth.相

近，名词词库中，trouble一词符合文意。

52、[S5]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：此处需填入副词。此处是关于一般人的情况。正常人是没有阅读障碍

的，由此可推断一般人在看了几次单词后会“自动”将这些词语识别出来，副词词库

中，automatically最符合语义。

53、[S6]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：此处需填入动词。证据是由新的研究“提供”的，provides符合文意。

54、[S7]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：此处需填入名词。由between…and…可知这儿是说智商和阅读两者

之间的关系，下一段第1句中的connect一词也提示了它们之间有关联，

relationship符合文意。

55、[S8]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：此处需填入动词。对一般人而言，智力和阅读能力确实是相互联系

的，由此可知它们也应该是相互“影响”，该段末尾的affect,属于词义复现，国此

influence符合文意。

56、[S9]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：此处需填入动词。此处语义与connect相近，belinked为常用表达，

符合文意。contacied也有“联系”之义，但一般表示“联系（某人广，常用于毒动语

态，不符合此处用法。

57、[S10]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：此处需填入名词。“that——”应该是概括指代上一段的内容，

assumption”假定；设想”符合文意。解答此题的关键是要知道“that—”的所指，它

不是由新的研究，因此不能选conclusion。
