參考答案：第一篇：43.從Paragraph3倒數(shù)第2行可以看出，作者可以在害怕或有重要事情宣布的時(shí)候隨時(shí)叫醒她的父母，也就是說她可以隨時(shí)在有需要的時(shí)候?qū)で蟾改傅膸椭?，滿足她的各種需求，故正確答案為B。44.從Paragraph2的最后一句話可以看出，myfirstbedroomisemptynow.故A選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。從Paragraph3的第三行可以看出，IfIsitatthistable,Icanseemyfavoriteroominthehouse,myparents’room.故C選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。從Paragraph4的第一句話可以看出，I’mluckybecauseIknowmyfirsthomestillexists.說明大多數(shù)人的第一所房子都已經(jīng)不復(fù)存在，故D選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。而從Paragraph4可以看出，作者在LosAngles的家仍然幸存，故正確答案為B。45.從最后一段可以看出，每當(dāng)作者感到迷失時(shí)，她就會(huì)回到家里尋找歸屬感（belongings），還會(huì)特意在晚上把窗戶打開，為的就是聽聽媽媽呵斥自己的聲音。這一切都在告訴她，“I’mhome”（文中的最后一句）。故正確答案為C。46.文章通過描述家里各個(gè)間房的擺設(shè)和回憶，表達(dá)了作者對(duì)家的深深依戀，特別是最后一段更加突出了“家”對(duì)作者的重要性，這里是她最佳的避風(fēng)港灣，故正確答案為A。第二篇：47.從Paragraph1可以看出，研究表明，心臟的循環(huán)系統(tǒng)與人們對(duì)恐懼的感知之間存在某種聯(lián)系，故正確答案為A。48.從Paragraph4的第一句話可以看出，研究主要測試的是志愿者對(duì)恐怖圖片的反應(yīng)（reaction），此外，Paragraph5提到在研究過程中還會(huì)使用掃描儀掃描志愿者的大腦以獲取數(shù)據(jù)，故正確答案為C。49.從Paragraph6的上下文可知，在人體內(nèi)部存在某種“系統(tǒng)”將心臟和大腦聯(lián)系了起來，使二者之間可以對(duì)話（speak）。故正確答案為B。A“order”意為順序，C“machine”意為機(jī)器，D“treatment”意為治療，均不符合語意。50.從最后一段的倒數(shù)2行可以看出，該項(xiàng)研究將有助于促進(jìn)對(duì)焦慮癥患者和壓力過大者的治療，故正確答案為A。第三篇：

68.A.The13th【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。由religiouspaintings定位至Description部分。由“rangingfrom13th-centuryreligiouspaintings”可知，宗教繪畫是13世紀(jì)的藏品，因此，正確答案為A。69.B.InthemainWestWing.【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。由LeonardodaVinci定位至Layout部分。由“ThemainWestWinghouses16th-centurypaintings,andartistsincludeLeonardodaVinci…”可知，LeonardodaVinci的作品在themainWestWing展出，因此，正確答案為B。70.D.CharingCross.【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。由undergroundstation定位至GettingThere部分。由此段可知，從CharingCross至美術(shù)館走路只需兩分鐘，因此，正確答案為D。第四篇：71答案：C；關(guān)鍵句：”Andtomakemattersworse,itsnewownerhadnoplanstogiveitthefundsitrequired.”解析：“AlthoughSparrowshowednosignofdeclining”排除A選項(xiàng)；“thechainwasgenerallyinanunhealthystate.”中一個(gè)unhealthy?！癆ndtomakemattersworse,itsnewownerhadnoplanstogiveitthefundsitrequired.”由此可得答案C；D選項(xiàng)無涉及。72.答案：D；關(guān)鍵句：Hedidasurvey,whichshowedthatconsumerswhoalreadyusedSparrowrestaurantswereextremelypositiveaboutthechain,whilecustomersofotherfast-foodchainswereunwillingtoturnawayfromthem..解析：此處，turnawayfrom表示“從....處走開”，所以from之后應(yīng)該表示主語的原始位置，所以應(yīng)該是otherfast-foodchains73.答案：A；關(guān)鍵句:Pearsonresisted,arguingforanadvertisingcampaigndesignedtoconvincecustomersthatvisitstoSparrowrestaurantswerefun.Suchanattempttoestablishapositiverelationshipbetweenacompanyandthegeneralpublicwasunusualforthattime.

解析：關(guān)鍵句中”suchanattemptto（表目的）establishapositiverelationshipbetweenacompanyandthegeneralpublic”直接定位到正確答案A74.答案：B；關(guān)鍵句:TheTVadsofSparrowfocusedonentertainmentandfeaturedoriginalsongsperformedbyavarietyofstars.Insteadofshowingthesuperiorityofaspecificproduct,theintentionwastoputSparrowintheheartsofpotentialcustomers.解析:因?yàn)椤癐nsteadofshowingthesuperiorityofaspecificproduct”，所以排除；C選項(xiàng)因“TheTVadsofSparrowfocusedonentertainmentandfeaturedoriginalsongsperformedbyavarietyofstars.”所以得出正確答案B；A和D選項(xiàng)未涉及；75答案：B；關(guān)鍵句:Theseeffortspaidoff,andSparrowsoonbecameoneofthemostsuccessfulfast-foodchainsintheregionswhereitoperated.解析:因“theireffortspaidoff”意為“他們的努力得到了回報(bào)”，而非償清債務(wù)，所以排A；因?yàn)椤癝parrowsoonbecameoneofthemostsuccessfulfast-foodchainsintheregionswhereitoperated”所以正確答案是B；C選項(xiàng)和D選項(xiàng)未涉及。除選項(xiàng)長難句分析一、長難句的分類1、帶有較多成分的簡單句。如：Havingchosenfamilytelevisionprogramsandwomen’smagazines，thetoothpastemarketer，forinstance，mustselecttheexacttelevisionprogramsandstationsaswellasthespecificwomen’smagazinestobeused.例如，決定選擇家庭電視節(jié)目和婦女雜志后，牙膏經(jīng)銷商還必須挑選出要用的確切的電視節(jié)目和電視臺(tái)，以及那些具體的婦女雜志。在這個(gè)有30多個(gè)詞的簡單句中，動(dòng)詞-ing形式短語用作時(shí)間狀語，不定式tobeused修飾的不僅是women’smagazine，而且還修飾televisionprogramsandstations.

exacttelevision同時(shí)修飾programs和stations兩個(gè)詞，這在翻譯中可以看出來。插入語forinstance把主語和謂語分隔開了。2、含有多個(gè)簡單句的并列句。如：Inthe1970shewasasurgeonatYale，hadawonderfulwifeandfivebeautifulchildren，buthewasterriblyunhappy.在20世紀(jì)70年代，他在耶魯當(dāng)外科醫(yī)生，有位出色的太太和5個(gè)漂亮的孩子，但他那時(shí)過得卻很不開心。在第二個(gè)并列句中，即在had前面省略了andhe.Discrimination(歧視)isn’ttheironlyconcern；almosteveryonetestingpositivefortheHuntington’sgene(基因)developssymptoms(癥狀)duringmiddleage，anddoctorscandonothingtohelp.擔(dān)心受到歧視并不是他們唯一的憂慮，幾乎所有遺傳性亨廷頓病基因檢測呈陽性的人在中年時(shí)癥狀都會(huì)顯現(xiàn)出來，而醫(yī)生對(duì)此卻無能為力。三個(gè)分句均為簡單句，分別用分號(hào)和and連接。3、含有多個(gè)從句的復(fù)合句。如：Ican’tliveinfearofthepossibilitythatastheearth’spopulationgrowsandweusemoreandmoreofournonrenewable(不能再生的)resources，ourchildrenmayhavetoleadpoorerlives.我不能總是生活在對(duì)這種可能性的憂慮中：由于地球上人口的不斷增長，由于我們正在消耗掉越來越多的非再生資源，我們的孩子可能不得不過著更加貧窮的生活。在possibility后由that引導(dǎo)的同位語從句中還含有一并列結(jié)構(gòu)的時(shí)間狀語從句：as…resources.However，thoseofuswhoareparentsofchildreninthisagegroupknowthatsuchoffersarerelativelyrareandthatmanyliberal-artsstudents(文科生)graduatewiththebeliefthattheprospective(預(yù)期的)workplacemaynothaveaplaceforthem.然而，我們這些有這個(gè)年齡段孩子的家長們都知道，這樣的機(jī)會(huì)少得可憐；我們也知道，許多文科畢業(yè)生認(rèn)為未來的就業(yè)市場沒有他們的一席之地。本句的主謂語是：thoseofusknow。know有兩個(gè)由that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句，其中第二個(gè)省略了know。在主句中還有一個(gè)定語從句修飾thoseofus，在第二個(gè)賓語從句中還有一個(gè)同位語從句修飾belief。4、含有多個(gè)插入成分的句子。如：

Hisjourneytothee-mailhellbeganinnocently（無知地）enoughwhen,aschairmanofComputerAssociatesInternational，asoftwarecompany，hefirstheardhowquicklyhisemployeeshadacceptedtheirnewelectronic-mailsystem.他在電子郵件的地獄之旅是糊里糊涂開始的。作為國際計(jì)算機(jī)聯(lián)合公司這家軟件公司的董事長，他當(dāng)時(shí)還是第一次聽說他的雇員們是多么快地就接受了他們公司的新的電子郵件系統(tǒng)。aschairmanofComputerAssociatesInternational是he的同位語，asoftwarecompany是ComputerAssociatesInternational的同位語，他們將從屬連詞when引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句的主語分隔開了。5、并列復(fù)合句。如：Ihaveknownchangesforthebetterandchangesfortheworse，butIhaveneverquestionedthefactthatwhetherIlikeditornot，changewasunavoidable.我經(jīng)歷過好的變化，也經(jīng)歷過壞的變化，但是我從來沒有懷疑過這樣一個(gè)事實(shí)，即不管我喜歡與否，變化總是不可避免的。在but后的那個(gè)并列的分句中有一個(gè)同位語從句，其中還含有一個(gè)讓步狀語從句。Theyalsofoundthatthebusconductorhadamajorroleinpreventingvandalism（故意破壞行為），andatthetimeshewentupthestairstotheupperdecktocollectfares，vandalismdidnotoftenoccur.他們還發(fā)現(xiàn)公交車售票員在防止發(fā)生故意破壞方面發(fā)揮了重要的作用。當(dāng)售票員到雙層公交車的上層收費(fèi)時(shí)，破壞行為就不常發(fā)生。在前一個(gè)并列分句中有一個(gè)賓語從句，在后一個(gè)并列的分句中有一個(gè)修飾times的定語從句，這個(gè)定語從句前省略了關(guān)系詞that或when.二、長難句分析步驟1、首先確定句子是簡單句、復(fù)合句或并列句。2、如果是簡單句，首先確定主謂結(jié)構(gòu)；接著確定賓語和賓語補(bǔ)足語（如有的話）；然后確定定語和狀語等次要成分，即找出主語、謂語和賓語各自的修飾語。按照所確定的各個(gè)成分，給出全句大意（可用翻譯法）。譯文意思應(yīng)當(dāng)通順，并和上下文意義基本吻合。如意義出入較大，文理不通，則分析可能有誤，這時(shí)應(yīng)考慮重新進(jìn)行句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析。3、如果是并列句，首先應(yīng)找出并列連詞并把全句分解為若干個(gè)分句；接著按照簡單句的分析方法再細(xì)分各分句的內(nèi)部結(jié)構(gòu)和句意；然后將全句綜合考慮。

4、如果是復(fù)合句，首先找出從屬連詞并確定出主句，這時(shí)應(yīng)特別注意連詞省略現(xiàn)象和多義連詞在句中的確切含義；接著按照簡單句的分析方法再細(xì)分各分句的內(nèi)部結(jié)構(gòu)和句意；然后確定從句的性質(zhì)，即該從句在句中修飾什么詞語或結(jié)構(gòu)；最后整體考慮全句大意，尤其要注意對(duì)修飾語的判斷是否準(zhǔn)確。三、長難句分析的注意事項(xiàng)在分析句子成分時(shí)，還應(yīng)特別注意下列幾點(diǎn)：1、是否有同位語和插入語。2、是否有省略、倒裝和分隔等現(xiàn)象。3、替代詞的所指對(duì)象。4、判斷并列成分的層次。5、句首的并列連詞and、or、but、for通常起承上啟下的作用，不要將他們歸入后文的句法分析。6、在從句多的句子中，從句中又包含從句的現(xiàn)象。7、非限定動(dòng)詞短語在句中作次要成分（定語和狀語）時(shí)又帶著自己較長的從屬成分，尤其是狀語從句或賓語從句時(shí)的結(jié)構(gòu)分析。8、在有多個(gè)從句的復(fù)合句和并列句中，狀語（單個(gè)詞、短語或從句）究竟是全句的修飾語還是某個(gè)從句或詞語的修飾語。練習(xí)：1.Canadahasvastareasofwilderness,fromtheArcticnorth,whereaveragewintertemperaturesareusuallyminus20degreescentigrade,tothe8,892-kilometre-longborderwiththeUSAtothesouth,whichisthelongestborderintheworldnotdefendedbyanarmyorthepolice.2.Montreal,aportintheprovinceofQuebec,isthesecondlargestcityinCanada,andalsothesecondlargestFrench-speakingcityintheworld,Parisbeingthelargest.3.Asamodern,dynamiccity,Montrealhasalivelynightscene,withmanyrestaurantsandclubs,aswellasculturalandstreetfestivalstoensurethatnovisitoriseverbored.4.Italsohassuperbscenery,abeautifulharbour,andallthecomfortsofmodern
