2、Theauthorwritesthisarticlelosomeextentinordertodefendtheexistenceof(heU.

N.inspiteofthevariousnegativeopinionsaboutit.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题是对作者写作目的的阐述。从文章的首段和最后一段，以及各段

的小标题可以看出作者积极评价联合国的作用。例如：在第一段中，作者借用了凤

凰浴火重生的典故表现联合国重新使二次大战以后的世界回到和平的年代。最后一

段文章说至『'Eachofusshouldlearnmoreabouthowthisimportantorganization

works.Ifwework(omakei(better,maybethisphoenixwillneverburnlodeath

again."(我们每一个人都应该更好地了解这个重要的组织是如何开展工作的。如果

我们都来努力完善它，也许这只风凰将不再毁于大火。）综上所说：我们可以确定

该题答案为［Y］。

3、ThefirstinternationalmeetingoftheUnitedNationswasheldin1945,attendedby

fifty-onemembernations.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：细节题。答题依据在文章第六段和第七段。第六段说到“0nApril

11,1945,thefirstinternationalmeetingoftheUnitedNationstookplaceinSan

Francisco.”接着，在第七段开始处，文章说"Allofthefifty-onenationsat（he

meeting…”据此，我们可知该题答案为［Y］。

4、TheauthorseemstosaythatthesolepurposeforthecreationoftheU.N.atthattime

wastoendWorldWarIIassoonaspossible.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节概括题。由文章第三段可知，人们不只是痛恨第二次世界大战，

更是痛恨战争本身，希望建立一个国际组织来维持世界和平。所以本题说〕hesole

purposeforthecreationoftheUN...”的阐述不全面，应选［N］

5、AccordingtotheU.N.Charter,everymembernationhasthedutytofightagainst

terrorism.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：C

知识点解析：文章第八段提及联合国宪章写就的理由，其中并未提到反恐的问题，

故选［NG］。

6、TranslationfbrtheU.N.GeneralAssemblyisaveryrimportantjobbecausetheymust

beabletolistenandtranslateatthesametime.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。答题依据在文章第十五段最后1〜2句话。文章说联合国翻

译工作重要，其理由不是“听的同时还要翻译“，而是“Onesmallmistakecouldcause

manyproblems.5,（•个小错误就会带来很多问题），因此该题不正确。

7、WithoutthepermissionfromthemembersoftheSecurityCouncil,theSecurity

Councilcannotsendanarmyintocountriesatwartohelpkeeppeaceandsolveserious

problems.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：该阐述是对第十六段内容的概括和解释。该段叙述了安理会派遣维和

部队的程序和原则，由此可知该题的叙述是正确的。

X、Thearticlecitestheexamplethatsomemembercountriespromisetorespecthuman

fights,butmanymembercountriesshowlittleornorespectforhumanrightsinorderto

show(hattheU.N.is(ooweaktodoanythingaboutit.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推断题。答题依据第十八段。该段的第二句话是主题句叮heysaythat

iheUNistooweak.”接着就是“Asanexample,…”本题正是选自该举例。这个具

体的例子正是表明某些人认为联合国太软弱的观点。故，答案为［Y］。

9、IntalkingabouttheroleoftheU.N.,theauthorsaysthatfrontiersofnationshave

losttheirmeaningsbecauseof.

标准答案：Modernscience/technology

知识点解析：答题依据在文章第四段。该段第三句话说到，国家之间的边界正在失

去意思。其理由已在上面1-2句话中交代，即：现代科学技术导致了武器的研制。

因此，本题正确答案应该为［modernscience/technology］

10>ThearticlesaysinthelastparagraphthatsinceweareallcitizensoftheUnited

Nations,weshouldleammoreabout'theworldorganizationandunderstand

how.

标准答案：howtheU.N.works

知识点解析：答题依据在文章最后一段。该段为全文的结尾段，大意是说：我们都

是联合国的公民，为此人人都应该更多地了解这个组织的运作方式。根据以上理

解，我们可以看出，我们应该在空内填人［howiheU.N.(或it/thisorganization)

works］。

1KInspiteoftheirwidelydifferentopinions,theoneideathatallcountriesagreeonis

that.

标准答案：theworldneedspeace

知识点解析：答题依据在文章第九段最后一句话。文章说，虽然自从1945年以

来，加入联合国的成员数量己经翻番，但是大家都先赞同这一观点，即：世界需要

和平。

37、[Bl]

标准答案：named

知识点解析：此题考查听特定信息的能力，解题的关键点在于分析出所听信息为

stonn的修饰词，而不是动词的被动语态，因为所填的空前有序数词the21sl做定

语。“named”这里意为“所说的，特指的

38、[B2]

标准答案：expected

知识点解析：此题考查听特定单词的能力，解题的关键点在分析出所填的词在所在

句中的句子成分为表语或被动语态的谓语动词，beexpectedtobecomehurricane这

里意为“被…认为将会形成飓风

39、[B3]

标准答案：coasl

知识点解析：此题考杳听特定名词的能力，解题的关键点在于分析出此空的成份为

名词，thebatteredU.SGulfcoast被飓风吹散的新奥尔良港湾。

40、[B4]

标准答案：formed

知识点解析：此题考查听特定动词的能力，解题的关键点在于分析出所填的词在句

中的成分为谓语，且为动词的过去式，因为有表示过去的时间状语，thelasttime,

在这里recordkeeping意为“保存记录

41、[B5]

标准答案：tie

知识点解析：此题考查听特定动词的能力，解题的关键点在于分析出would后的词

必为动词原型。此题考生容易答错，因为对lie,做动词的用法陌生，这里lie意为

，与...成平局"iea1969recordofthemosthurricanesinoneterm.意为，与同期的

1969年的最大飓风相当,

42、[B6]

标准答案：destructive

知识点解析：此题考查听特定信息的能力，解题的关键点在于分析出此空的成份为

形容词性质的词，destructive，破坏性的、注意这个单词的拼写，thedestructive

effects意为“破坏性的影响”。

43、[B7]

标准答案：hoping

知识点解析：此题考查听特定信息的能力，解题的关键在于，空出缺失的成分是能

加从句的动词进行时或形容词，iheGulfCoasi为标志性信号词。

44、[B8]

标准答案：insured

知识点解析：此题考查听特定信息的能力，解题的关键点在于分析出所听信息为

losses的修饰词，insuredlosses意为‘保险损失

45、[B9]

标准答案：Since1995,theAtlantichasbeeninaperiodofhigherhurricaneactivity.

知识点解析：此题考查听单句的能力，解题的关键在于所缺失的句子是笫四段的首

句，则上一段的尾词losses为所听句子的标志性信号词。在听写的过程中可用简写

形式把关键点速记下来,Since1995,theAtlantichasbeeninaperiodofhigher

hurricaneactivity意为，大西洋从1995年起就有周期性的飕风运动

46、[B10]

标准答案：Someresearchersarguethatglobalwarmingpromotedbyman'sgeneration

ofgreenhousegasesisthereason.

知识点解析：此题考杳听单句的能力，splitshurricanesapart.为所听句子的标志性

信号词。splitapart.指，把什么撕开，，culprit在这里指《致咫风的最魁祸首。此题

难度较大，要抓住句子主干，对于较难的词promote要注意其拼写。

47、[B11]

标准答案：Forecastersat(heNationalHurricaneCentersaythebusyseasonsarepartof

anaturalcycle(hatcanlastforatleast20years.

知识点解析：此题考杳听单句的能力，所听句紧接上一句，无提示信息，所以难度

较大，解题的关键在于用缩写形式写下关键信息，对于单词拼写没有把握的，看其

它处原文中是否出现。Forecaster，预报员3naturalcycle意为，自然的周期循环

F)treatN)stickyG)pirateO)usuallyH)wear

48、[SI]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：根据后面的costume一词，我们可以推断前面表示的是穿上戏装，只

打wear合适。

49、[S2]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：本句前面出现了“TrickorTreat!”而后面说我们要不怎么样，他们就会

playtrickon,可以推测空格处应该是treat,招待他们。

50.[S3]

标准答案：O

知识点解析：根据分析，此处缺乏一个副词，而选项中仅有两个副词，而且是反义

关系，根据题意，这里应该选择经常，时常usually。

51、[S4]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：根据后面的描述，可以推测此处是说作者削万圣节南瓜的经验，应该

选择动词carvedo

52、[S5]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：此处应该填入一个动词，表示把南瓜籽弄出来，同时还需要用过去

时，符合条件的只有pulled。

53、（S61

标准答案：N

知识点解析：根据上下文此处应该填一个形容词做表语，同时可以形容掏南瓜籽时

的那种味道，所以应该选择sticky。

54、[S7]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：根据后文的形容词可以推测此处应该加一个可以接表语的动词，只有

smelled符合题意。

55、[S8]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：本题根据空格前的不定惯词推测只能选择名词，而选项中所剩卜的名

同符合题意的只有pirate表示海盗。

56、[S9]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：此处比较有干扰性的两个选项是culture和civilization,前者表示文

化，而后者表示文明，这里万圣节的传统更侧重于文化的层面。

57、[S10]

标准答案：L

知识点解析：此处需要填一个单数三人称的及物动词，involves和includes都符

合，而且是近义词，但是此处，意义上要求的是使...参加进来involve符合题

意。
