　　El Nino （厄爾尼諾現(xiàn)象）

　　While some forecasting methods had limited SUCCESS predicting the 1997 E1 Nino a few months in advance，the Columbia University researchers say their method call predict large E1 Nino events up to two years in advance.That would be good news for governments，farmers and others seeking to plan for the droughts and heavy rainfall that El Nino can produce in various parts of the world.

　　Using a computer the researchers matched sea-surface temperatures to later El Nino occurrences between 1980 and 2000 and were then able to anticipate E1 Nino events dating back to1857， using prior sea-surface temperatures.The results were reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature.

　　The researchers say their method is not perfect， but Bryan C.Weare.a meteorologist at the University of California， Davis，who was not involved in the work，said it“suggests‘E1 Nino is indeed predictable.”

　　“This will probably convince others to search around more for even better methods.”said Weare.He added that the new method“makes it possible to predict El Nino at 1ong lead times.” Other models also use sea-surface temperatures， but they have not looked as far back because they need other data，which is only available for recent decades，Weare said.

　　The ability to predict the warming and cooling of the Pacitic is of immense importance'。The 1997 El Nino，for example，caused an estimated$20 billion in damage worldwide，offset by beneficial effects in other areas，said David Anderson，of the European Centre for Medium.Range Weather Forecasts in Reading England.The 1877 El Nino，meanwhile，coincided with a failure of the Indian monsoon and a famine that killed perhaps 40 million in India and China.prompting the development of seasonal forecasting，Anderson said.

　　When El Nino hit in 199 1 and 1997.200 million people were affected by flooding in China alone.according to a 2002 United Nations report.

　　While predicting smaller E1 Nino events remains tricky.the ability to predict larger ones should be increased to at least a year if the new method is confirmed.

　　E1 Nino tends to develop between April and June and reaches its peak between December and February.The warming tends to last between 9 and 1 2 months and occurs every two to seven years.

　　The new forecasting method does not predict any major El Nino events in the next two years， although a weak warming toward the end of this year is possible.

　　Soot and Snow：a Hot Combination

　　l New research from NASA scientists suggests emissions of black soot alter the way sunlight reflects off snow.According to a computer simulation，black soot may be responsible for 25 percent of observed global warming over the past century.

　　2 Soot in the higher latitudes of the Earth.where ice is more common，absorbs more of the sun's energy and warmth than an icy， white background.Dark-colored black carbon，or soot，absorbs sunlight，while lighter colored ice reflects sunlight.

　　3 Soot in areas with snow and ice may play all important role in climate change.Als0，if snow and ice covered areas begin melting.the warming effect increases，as the soot becomes more concentrated on the snow surface.“This provides a positive feedback，as glaciers and ice sheet smelt，they tend to get even dirtier，” said Dr.James Hansen，a researcher at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies，NewYork.

　　4 Hansen found soot's effect on snow albedo（solar energy reflected back to space），which may be contributing to trends toward early springs in the Northern Hemisphere，such as thinning Arctic sea ice，melting glaciers and permafrost.Soot also is believed to play a role in changes in the atmosphere above the oceans and land.

　　5 “Black carbon reduces the amount of energy reflected by snow back into space，thus heating the snow surface more than if there were no black carbon~，”Hansen said.Soot's increased absorption of solar energy is especially effective in warming the world's climate. “This forcing is unusually effective，causing twice as much global warming as a carbon.dioxide forcing of the same magnitude，”Hansen noted.

　　6 Hansen cautioned.although the role of soot in altering global climate is substantial，it does not alter the fact that greenhouse gases are the primary cause of climate warming during the past century.Such gases are expected to be the largest climate forcing f10r也e rest of this century.

　　7 The researchers found that observed warming in the Northern Hemisphere was 1arge in the winter and spring at middle and high latitudes.These observations were consistent with the researchers' climate model simulations，which showed some of the largest warming effects occurred when there were heavy snow cover and sufficient sunlight.

　　There are more than 1 50 different cold viruses，and you never have the same one twice.Being infected by one makes you immune to it — but only it.

　　Colds are usually spread by direct contact，not sneezing or coughing.From another person's hand to your hand and then to your nose or eyes is the most common route.。The highest concentration of cold viruses anywhere is found under the thumbnails of a boy，although the viruses Can survive for hours on skin or other smooth surfaces.

　　Hygiene is your best defense.Wash your hands frequently.preferably with a disinfectant soap，especially when children in your household have colds.

　　But even careful hygiene won't ward off.every cold.So，what works when a coughing，sneezing，runny nose strikes？

　　Urban Rainforest

　　On the west side of the island of Manhattan in New Y0rk City，tree by tree，leaf by leaf， a 2，500 square foot sector of the Central African Republic's Dzanga Ndoki Rainforest has been transported to，or recreated at，the American Museum of Natural History's new hall of biodiversity.When the hall opens this May， visitors will visit one of the world's biggest and most accurate reproduction of one of nature's most threatened creations.

　　To bring the rainforest to New Y0rk.a team of nearly two dozen scientists—the largest collecting expedition the museum has ever organised for an exhibit — spent five weeks in the African rainforest collecting soil，plants，and leaves；recording and documenting species；studying trees；shooting videotape and still photos；and interviewing local people.“This area has been explored very little，” says Hoel Cracraft who estimates that the museum will eventually collect 150 to 180 mammals，more than 300 species of birds，hundreds of butterflies，and hundreds of thousands，if not 111illions，of organisms.The exhibition may even have produced a special prize - scientists suspect they have uncovered several new species.

　　To give the forest a sense of realness，the back wall of the exhibit is an enormous videoscreen，sounds will come out from hidden speakers.and plans even call for forest smells.Computer controls will vary the effects so that no two walkthroughs will ever be exactly the same.

　　After the team returned to New York.the forest was reproduced with the help of the computer Computer modelling programmes plotted distances and special relationships.Artists studied photos and brought what they saw to 1ife.Plaster trees were made.Recreated animals began to stand in the rainforest of the hall.Flying creatures will hang from the ceiling.The 1ight in the forest—one of the exhibit's cleverest re-creations—will seem real.Long tube 1ights will have the correct colour and temperature to produce a natural effect.The plants and animals exhibited throughout the hall exist naturally in a perfect balance—remove one.and the whole is imperfect if not endangered.The exhibit is proof to the hope that the world's rainforests will never exist solely as a carefully preserved artifact.

　　詞匯：

　　biodiversity n.生物多樣性

　　document v.紀(jì)實性地描述

　　mammal n.哺乳類動物

　　Credit Card Only Works When Spoken to

　　A credit card that will not work unless it hears its owner's voice could become an important Weapon in the fight against fraud.

　　The card requires users to give a spoken password that it recognizes using a built-in voice—recognition chip.The idea is to prevent thieves using a stolen card or fraudsters using someone else's credit card details to buy goods online.。

　　A prototype built by engineers at Beepcard in Santa Monica，California，represents the first attempt to pack a microphone，a loud speaker， a battery and a voice-recognition chip into a standard.sized credit card.

　　They are not quite there yet：the card is the length and width of an ordinary credit card，but it is still about three times as thick.Alan Sege，Beepcard's CEO，says the company now plans to use smaller chips to slim it down to normal thickness.

　　The voice card is based Oil an earlier Beepcard technology designed to prevent fraud in online transactions.This earlier card has no microphone.but has a built.in loudspeaker that it uses to “squawk” an acoustic ID signal via a computer's microphone to an online server.

　　By verifying that the signal matches the card details，the server can establish that the user is not simply keying in…a credit card number but actually has the card to hand.The ID code changes each time the card is used in a pre-ordered sequence that only the server knows.

　　This prevents fraudsters recording the beeps.noting the card details and then playing back the audible ID when they key in the details later.But this earlier technology cannot prevent fraudulent use of stolen cards.The new one can.

　　The new voice card also identifies itself by-its ID squawk、but it will not do this until it has verified the legitimate user's spoken password.Thieves will be unable to use the card because even if they knew the password they would have to be able to copy the owner's voice with a high degree of accuracy.

　　The challenge for Beepcard has been to develop voice—recognition and audio circuitry that can be powered by a mini battery embedded in a credit card.To maximize battery life，the electronics are only switched on when the card is being used.Pressing a button on the card's surface prompts it to utter “Say your password” in female voice.If the voice-recognition software proves that the password is authentic， it sends its ID squawk which the server then identifies，allowing the transaction to proceed.

　　詞匯：

　　fraudster／n.騙子

　　beep／n.（電子裝置發(fā)出的）嘟嘟聲

　　1.How Call the credit card recognize the spoken password given by the user？

　　A）By using a voice-recognition chip embedded in the card.

　　B）By using a voice-recognition device built in the server.

　　C）By fixing a microphone in the card.

　　D）By fixing a loudspeaker in the card.

　　2.Are the engineers at Beepcard satisfied with the model they have built？ Why or why not？

　　A）Yes，because the model they have built is a standardized credit card.

　　B）No，because the model they have built is too heavy.

　　C）No，because the model they have built is too thick.

　　D）Yes，because the model they have built is used worldwide.

　　3.What is the main difference between the earlier model and the new voice card？

　　A）The new one can identify itself by its ID squawk.

　　B）The new one Can produce beeps.

　　C）The new one needs the user to key in ID details.

　　D）The new one works only when it hears the password spoken by the user.

　　4.What is the advantage of the voice card？

　　A）It is safer because it requires more ID information.

　　B）It is safer because the voice-recognition chip is built in.

　　C）It.is safer because no one but the user can use the card.

　　D）It is safer because it can hardly be cheated by fraudsters.

　　5.According to the last paragraph，what is NOT involved in the process of using the voice card？

　　A）Switching on the electronics to maximize the battery life.

　　B）Pressing the “Say your password” button on the card's surface.

　　C）The password is verified.

　　D）The ID squawk is sent to the server for it to identify.

　　Agitated Sunspot Cause Trouble

　　If the lights in your house keep flickering， blame frequent sunspots.

　　A sunspot is actually charged particles flying at the speed of 3 million kilometers an hour out of the surface of the sun to form sun storms.

　　__1__.

　　The earth， which is directly energized by the sun， is influenced by sun storms in a number of ways.

　　__2__. Wireless short-wave communication， which depends on the wave's reflection against this layer of atmosphere， is likely to be jammed. It is said that mobile phone communication may be affected too.

　　__3__. According to a research conducted by the Russian scientists from 1957 to 1960， the frequency of earthquakes can be linked to the movement of the sunspots.

　　Though little research has been carried out about how exactly the sunspot will negatively harm the health of the people， a paper published by a North Korea observatory says that sun storms may cause an increase in the incidence of heart disease and skin disease. __4__.

　　Besides， the nervous system is also affected， and traffic accidents are more frequent when sunspots are active.

　　It is hard to say when the sunspots are most violent during their active year， but generally one active period is believed to last possibly eight days. Not long ago there were two violent sun storms breaking out， which seriously affected mobile phone communication， etc. in many parts of the world. __5__.

　　A. Ionosphere is high above the earth.

　　B. One is that the magnetic filed of the earth is much disturbed because of the sun's interference in the ionosphere which is 80 to 500 kilometers above the earth.

　　C. Scientists also say that the active movement of the charged sun storm also has effects on earthquakes

　　D. Every 11 years， the sun， as its energy accumulate inside up to a certain point， will send out streams of charged particles， which affect the earth in different ways

　　E. But the communication situation in each case returned to normal in about 24 hours.

　　F. So， scientists warn that people going outdoors should be careful to protect their exposed skin and eyes with clothes， umbrellas and sunglasses from the strong sunlight rich in ultraviolet rays.

　　Dark Forces Dominate Universe

　　The Earth，moon，sun and all visible stars in the sky make up less than one percent of the universe.Almost all the rest is dark matter and dark energy， unknown _1_ that puzzle astronomers.

　　Observations in recent years have changed the basic understanding of how the universe evolved and have emphasized for astronomers how little is known _2_ the major forces and substances that shaped our world.

　　Astronomers now know that luminous matter-stars.planets and hot gas – _3_ only about 0.4 percent of the universe.Non.1uminous components.such as black holes and intergalactic gas，make up 3.6 percent.The rest is either dark matter， about 23 percent，or dark energy， about 73 percent.

　　Dark matter， sometimes called “cold dark matter，” has been known for some _4_. Only recently have researchers come to understand the pivotal role it _5_ in the formation of stars.planets and even people.

　　“We owe our very existence to dark matter，” said physicist Paul Steinhardt and a co-author of a review on dark matter which appeared not long _6_ in the journal Science.

　　Steinhardt said it is believed that following the Big Bang，the theoretical _7_ of the universe，dark matter caused particles to clump together.That set up the gravitation processes that led to the formation of stars and galaxies.Those stars，in turn，created the basic chemicals，such as carbon and iron.that were _8_ to the evolution of life.

　　“Dark matter dominated the formation of structure in the early universe.”Steinhardt said.“For the first few billion years dark matter contained _9_ of the mass of the universe.You can think of ordinary matter as a froth of an Ocean of dark matter.The dark matter clumps and the ordinary matter falls into it.That led to the _10_ of the stars and galaxies.”

　　Without dark matter，“there _11_ be virtually no structures in the universe.”

　　The nature of dark matter is _12_.It cannot be seen or detected _13_ .Astronomers know it is there because of its effect on celestial objects than can be seen and measured.

　　But the most dominating force Of _14_ in the universe is called dark energy.a recently proven power that astronomers say is causing the galaxies in the universe to separate at a faster and faster speed.

　　One scientist said it is clear now _15_ dark matter and dark energy engaged in a gravitational tug of war that，eventually，dark energy won.

　　9. B. 分析：根據(jù)句意（我們主要從書本上獲得知識）判斷B（獲得）是答案。Deprive vt.剝奪， 使喪失； descend vi.下來， 下降； trace n.痕跡， 蹤跡， 微量vt.描繪，追蹤

　　10.C.分析：該句含義是“我們都認為他是一個個性很活躍的人�！眃ynamic adj.動力的，動態(tài)的，生氣勃勃的； active adj.積極的，現(xiàn)行的， 活動的， 活躍的；doubtful adj.可疑的， 不確的； easy adj.容易的， 舒適的， 寬裕的， 從容的adv.不費力的， 輕松

　　12. A. 分析：借助搭配結(jié)構(gòu)“…問題”排除B（think后通常帶賓語從句）和D（搭配不合理）。根據(jù)句意（我們應(yīng)該考慮到問題的各個方面）判斷A（仔細考慮）最合適。

　　13. B. 分析：借助搭配“健康…”，排除C和D（strong和 weak都不和“健康”搭配使用，只能說“身體” strong或 weak），再借助句意（在監(jiān)獄服刑期間他的健康變得惡化了）判斷B（變得更糟糕）是答案。Deteriorate v.（使）惡化

　　第二部分：閱讀判斷（每題1分，共七分）

　　閱讀下面這篇短文，短文后列出了七個句子，請根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容對每個句子作出判斷。如果該句提供的是正確信息，請在答題卡上把A涂黑；如果該句提供的是錯誤信息，請在答題卡上把B涂黑；如果該句的信息文章中沒有提及，請在答題卡上把C涂黑

　　l 解題技巧說明：

　　在解答閱讀判斷題，閱讀理解題，以及完成句子題時都可以考慮采用“核心詞/特征詞定位”的方法�！昂诵脑~”是指在出現(xiàn)在要求考生作出判斷的句子中的主句和從句中的主語和謂語部分的詞語/結(jié)構(gòu)（如果有賓語也可考慮賓語部分的詞語/結(jié)構(gòu)）。選取這些詞語/結(jié)構(gòu)的時候要考慮是否這些將被選擇作為答案線索的詞語和結(jié)構(gòu)是標(biāo)志“新信息”的內(nèi)容，如果是，則可以選��；否者就考慮句子中其他結(jié)構(gòu)中標(biāo)志“新信息”的詞語/結(jié)構(gòu)。（注：“新信息”是在前面問題的內(nèi)容中沒有出現(xiàn)過的信息）如：

　　問題前句：1.The method used by the Columbia University researchers can predict E1 Nino a few months in advance.

　　A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

　　2. The Columbia University researchers studied the relationship between the past EI Nino occurrences and sea—surface temperatures.

　　新信息 新信息

　　在選取直接作為線索詞/結(jié)構(gòu)的內(nèi)容時還要注意“標(biāo)志原則”，比如在選定的“新信息內(nèi)容”中“past EI Nino occurrences （過去發(fā)生的厄爾尼諾現(xiàn)象）和 sea—surface temperatures（海表溫度）”由于這些結(jié)構(gòu)詞義的特點是很可能在文章中直接出現(xiàn)的結(jié)構(gòu)，所以考慮采用“past EI Nino occurrences ”和 “sea—surface temperatures”作為直接答案線索。

　　“特征詞” 是指在出現(xiàn)在要求考生作出判斷的句子中表示“時間，人名，地名， 組織機構(gòu)名”等，在文章如果出現(xiàn)往往很容易就會被發(fā)現(xiàn)的詞語/結(jié)構(gòu)，因為這些結(jié)構(gòu)總是以特殊的形式出現(xiàn)在文章中：“時間”—往往是以阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字的形式出現(xiàn)：“人名，地名， 組織機構(gòu)名”—往往是以單詞的首字母大寫的形式出現(xiàn)。

　　另外，要求考生作出判斷的句子中出現(xiàn)的修飾詞，限制詞（往往形容詞/副詞）可以直接考慮作為答案線索。在利用選出的詞語/結(jié)構(gòu)作為答案線索時要注意在文章出現(xiàn)的與這些詞/結(jié)構(gòu)含義相近的詞語/結(jié)構(gòu)。

　　El Nino （厄爾尼諾現(xiàn)象）

　　1. B.分析：利用句子中的特征詞Columbia University researchers 和a few months in advance作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關(guān)句：While some forecasting methods had limited SUCCESS predicting the 1997 E1 Nino a few months in advance，the Columbia University researchers say their method can predict large E1 Nino events up to two years in advance.（問題句說“提前幾個月”，而原文說“最遠能提前到兩年”，因此可見問題句的內(nèi)容中有與原文不一致的地方，因此判斷該句“不正確”。）

　　2.A.分析：利用句子中出現(xiàn)的核心結(jié)構(gòu)EI Nino occurrences 和 sea—surface temperatures作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關(guān)句：Using a computer the researchers matched sea-surface temperatures to later El Nino occurrences between 1980 and 2000 （該劃線結(jié)構(gòu)的含義基本上與問題句的內(nèi)容一致，還需要對信息1進行判斷-辨別the researchers是否就是“The Columbia University researchers”，而前文中出現(xiàn)的就是“The Columbia University researchers”，因此判斷信息1和信息2的內(nèi)容都在原文中有呼應(yīng)的內(nèi)容，因此判斷該句的說法正確。）

　　3.C.分析：該題涉及到的內(nèi)容和前面出現(xiàn)的問題有關(guān)，注意到題干中出現(xiàn)的特征詞（the first），因此判斷對該詞的確認是關(guān)鍵。利用該詞作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)文章中沒有這個詞出現(xiàn)。因為該句是概括總結(jié)句，因此再利用句子出現(xiàn)的核心結(jié)構(gòu)sea-surface temperatures 和the past EI Nino occurrences作為答案線索，發(fā)現(xiàn)涉及這兩個結(jié)構(gòu)的句子所表達的句意都與問題句的內(nèi)容無關(guān)，因此判斷問題句的說法“沒提到”。

　　4. C. 分析：利用句子中出現(xiàn)的特征詞Weare作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關(guān)句：but Bryan C.Weare， a meteorologist at the University of California， Davis，who was not involved in the work，said it“suggests' E1 Nino is indeed predictable.”

　　“This will probably convince others to search around more for even better methods.”said Weare.He added that the new method“makes it possible to predict El Nino at 1ong lead times.” Other models also use sea-surface temperatures， but they have not looked as far back because they need other data，which is only available for recent decades，Weare said.（這些涉及到Weare的句子在內(nèi)容上都沒有講述是否Weare在預(yù)測厄爾尼諾現(xiàn)象方面作出了貢獻，也沒有提到他的貢獻是否得到了其他氣象學(xué)家的高度贊揚）

　　5.B.分析：利用句子中出現(xiàn)的特征詞Chinese report， in 1991 and 1997和200 million Chinese people作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關(guān)句：When El Nino hit in 1991 and 1997， 200 million people were affected by flooding in China alone， according to a 2002 United Nations report.（該句的內(nèi)容與問題句的內(nèi)容不一致。）

　　6. A. 分析：該問題句內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)都較簡單，句子中出現(xiàn)了一個數(shù)字（8個月），因此猜測對于這個數(shù)字的辨別是解題的關(guān)鍵。借助eight months 和句子中的核心詞peak作為答案線索，這樣找到答案相關(guān)句： E1 Nino tends to develop between April and June and reaches its peak between December and February（借助該句含義可以推出“El Nino需要大約8個月達到峰值”）

　　7. C.分析：利用句子中出現(xiàn)的核心詞A special institute 和 America作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)文章中根本就沒有提到“在美國建立一所特別的研究院”，因此該句為“沒提到”。

　　第三部分：概括大意與完成句子 （每題1分，共8分）

　　閱讀下面這篇短文，短文后有2項測試任務(wù)：（1）1-4 題要求從所給的6個選項中為第2-5 段每段選擇1個正確的小標(biāo)題；（2）第5-8題要求從所給的6個選項中選擇4個正確的選項，分別完成每個句子。請將答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。

　　1.C 第三段解釋了為什么soot會增加地球升溫效應(yīng)。

　　2.A 第四段介紹了soot在兩方面起的作用：（1）soot增加了雪吸收太陽能量和熱量的能力；（2）soot導(dǎo)致海洋和陸地上空的大氣層發(fā)生變化。

　　3.F第六段的關(guān)鍵句子是：“…greenhouse gases are the primary cause of climate warming during the past century.” .

　　4.B第七段介紹了在研究北半球的緯度、雪覆蓋面和日照諸因素與氣溫升高之間的關(guān)系方面取得的成果。

　　5.B 選擇B的依據(jù)是第一段。有關(guān)的句子是：�！啊璪lack soot may be responsible for 25 percent of observed global warming over the past century.”選項B中用了過去式contributed，也是選B的一個線索，因為第五題的題干中有in me twentieth century，這個時間狀語要求謂語動詞用過去式，而4個選項中只有B項的動詞用的是過去式。

　　6.E Hansen cautioned和greenhouse gases僅出現(xiàn)在第六段。該段的大意是：雖然煤煙在改變?nèi)�球氣候方面所起的作用相�?dāng)顯著，但是上個世紀(jì)氣溫上升的主要因素還是溫室氣體。選項E概括了第六段的意思。

　　7.D 本題答案的依據(jù)是第二段第一句。

　　8.A本題答案的依據(jù)是第五段的下列句子： Soot's increased absorption of solar energy is especially effective in warming the world's climate.“This forcing is unusually effective， causing twice as much global warming as a carbon-dioxide forcing of the same magnitude，”Harisen noted.

　　第四部分：閱讀理解（每題3分，共45分）

　　下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題，每道題后面有4個選項。請仔細閱讀短文并根據(jù)短文回答其后面的問題，從4個選項中選擇1個最佳答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。

　　第1篇

　　1.B 第一段雖然提到了感冒常發(fā)生于冬天，但緊接下去說得很清楚：受涼并不導(dǎo)致感冒，所以A不是正確答案。文章第四段第一句說得明白：感冒通常是與感冒的人身體直接接觸而傳染的，而不是由打噴嚏或咳嗽傳染的，所以C項也不是正確答案。至于D更是錯誤。答案B與第一段第三句的意義相吻合，因此是正確答案。

　　2.A 第五段的第一句話“Hygiene is your best defense”意思是“衛(wèi)生是你的最佳防御”，與A項相吻合，因此A項是正確答案。同一段中提到的用消毒肥皂洗手，雖然也是保持衛(wèi)生的手段之一，但僅是一個具體措施，不是全部措施，所以B項不是正確答案。C項提到的服阿司匹林是治感冒的手段之一，而非預(yù)防手段（況且沒有說到“一天服兩片”！）D項提到的多喝水在文中也指治療手段，所以c和D都不是正確答案。

　　3.B 第二段中提到兒童平均一年得八次感冒，這是一個統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)而不是兒童得感冒的原因；文中并沒有說“兒童從不洗手”；文中也沒有說“兒童不喜歡吃檸檬”；所以A、C、D都不對。B項與第二段最后一句意思一樣，是正確答案。

　　4.C 第三段提到有150種感冒病毒，而人們絕不會被同一種病毒侵害兩次，因為得了一次感冒后對相應(yīng)的病毒就獲得了免疫力，所以只有C項才符合第三段的內(nèi)容。

　　5.D 本題談的是文中提及的感冒癥狀。文中并沒有提到得了感冒就胃疼，實際上文中根本就沒有“stomachache”這個詞或相關(guān)的字眼，所以D項是正確答案。

　　第2篇

　　1.B通篇文章談的是把中非共和國的雨林重現(xiàn)于位于紐約的一個博物館中。這就是本文的主旨。

　　2.A第二段第一句就說博物館組織了20余位科學(xué)家到中非共和國實地考察與收集資料。選項B、C、D都與上述說法不符。

　　3.D 第三段提到選項A、B、C分別列出的聲、像、味，但選項D沒有提到。所以選項D是答案。

　　4.A第四段具體提到展品的距離、相互關(guān)系、動植物制作、燈光等問題，所以本段是涉及展覽的設(shè)計、布局，選項A是正確的。

　　5.C最后一句點出了在博物館展出雨林的目的，希望自然界的雨林不會消失。這個雨林展覽也就不會成為自然界雨林惟一的存在形式。C是最接近原意的選項。

　　第3篇

　　1.A 第二段第一個句子是問題的答案。語音識別芯片嵌入（built.in）信用卡，當(dāng)信用卡使用者輸入口令時，就會自動被識別。

　　2.C 第四段告訴我們，工程師們還未完全達到他們的預(yù)想目標(biāo)（Theyarenotquitethereyet.參見“注釋”6），也就是說，他們對這種信用卡還不滿意，原因是，盡管和普通信用卡在長度和寬度~NN，但是厚度卻有普通信用卡的三倍。因此，c是正確答案。

　　3.D 第七段告訴我們，this earlier technology cannot prevent fraudulent use of stolen cards.Thenewonecan.第八段第一句中的also說明，先前的語音信用卡也同樣有發(fā)聲系統(tǒng)，所以，B不是正確選項，C也不是正確選項，因為先前的語音信用卡也需要使用者輸入身份信息。惟一不同的新技術(shù)是使用語音識別系統(tǒng)，只有在該系統(tǒng)確認121令是使用者本人發(fā)出的才繼續(xù)工作。所以，D是正確答案。

　　4.c 第八段的第二句告訴我們，小偷即使知道口令，要模仿信用卡主人的聲音是幾乎能的。

　　5.A B、C和D的內(nèi)容都是使用語音信用卡時要經(jīng)過的程序。Switching on the electronics to maximize the battery life與文中的意思不符，更不是信用卡使用者使用時的操作程序，所以，A是答案。

　　第五部分：補全短文（每題2分，共10分）

　　閱讀下面的短文，文章中有5處空白，文章后有6組文字，請根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容選擇5組文字，將其分別放會文章原有位置，以恢復(fù)文章原貌。請將答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置。

　　Agitated Sunspot Cause Trouble

　　1. D.詞語呼應(yīng)：D中charged particles與前句呼應(yīng)， the earth與后句呼應(yīng)。同時D在句意上與后句銜接。

　　2. B. B中的one與前句中的 a number of ways呼應(yīng)，disturb與前句的influence呼應(yīng)。

　　3. C.C中的earthquakes與后句中的earthquakes呼應(yīng)。

　　4. F.F中的skin與前句中的skin disease呼應(yīng)。

　　5. E.E中的communication situation與前句中的phone communication呼應(yīng)。

　　第六部分：完型填空 （每題1分，共15分）

　　閱讀下面的短文，文中有15處空白，每處空白給出了4個選項，請根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容從4個選項中選擇1個最佳答案，并涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。

　　1. C dark matter和dark energy都是forces，其他三個選項意思都搭不上。第二段討論同一話題時用了the major forces，更說明選forces的正確性。

　　2. A know little（／something／much）about是固定搭配，被動態(tài)就是little is known about.

　　3. C 本題要填account for（占……份額），因為后面接的是0.4 percent.wait f_or（等待）， long for（渴望）和look for（尋找）與0.4 percent都搭不上。

　　4. B 從意義上判斷，本題用的詞組應(yīng)該是for some time.英語很少使用for some schedule， for some duration這種搭配。習(xí)慣上說for some period oftime.不說for some period.

　　5.D play a role in是固定搭配。display（陳列），delay（延誤），relay（接力傳送）意思搭配不上。

　　6.D 謂語動詞用的是過去式appeared，只有說not long ago才對。before只胄黲飾發(fā)生在過去動作之前的另一個動作。試比較：

　　He saw her three days ago.、（錯旬：He saw herthreedays before.）

　　He said he had seen her three days before.（錯旬：He saidhe had seen her three days ago.）

　　7. A 前面出現(xiàn)Big Bang（宇宙大爆炸），只有填入beginning上下文的意思才連貫。

　　8. C 從意義上判斷，本題填的應(yīng)該是important，fundamental，necessary之類的形容詞。

　　9. B 若能理解下文的You can think of ordinary matter as a froth of an ocean of dark matter，就知道選little或few是不對。matter是不可數(shù)名詞，不能用many修飾。選most在用法上、意思上都是正確的。

　　10.B 本段第一句是Dark matter dominated the formation of structure in the early universe.中間幾句屬擴展部分。最后一句為結(jié)論句，內(nèi)容與第一句相呼應(yīng)，所以選formation

　　11.A “Without…，would”是虛擬語氣的常用句型。

　　12.C 本段第二旬說Itcannotbe seen ordetected…據(jù)此判斷，第一句中應(yīng)該填unknown.

　　13.D 本段第三句說從暗物質(zhì)對天體產(chǎn)生的效應(yīng)能推斷暗物質(zhì)的存在。據(jù)此，本題要填directly.

　　14.A 最高級adj.+復(fù)數(shù)n.+of a11 是固定搭配。據(jù)此，本題要填all.

　　15.B 本題要求填入引導(dǎo)主語從句的連詞that.其他三個選項，意思與上下文都接不上。
