A.alarmtheirhearers

C.aredisheartening

D.canbesuppressedbycensorship

【答案與解析】

31.A由第一段中“Intimesofstressandconfusion,however,rumoremerges

andbecomeswidespread”可知，在壓力與困惑時，人們通常會制造謠

言，這是“themostprimitivewayofspreadingstories”。

32.D第二段中提到“Thecustomarynewssourcesnolongergiveoutenough

information”，由此可見戰(zhàn)爭時，新聞不再提供足夠的信息。

33.C由后文“cleverlydesignedrumorgivesexpressiontosomethingdeepin

theheartsofthevictims…”可知，謠言十分有吸引力。

34.D由最后一段“Pessimisticrumorsaboutdefeatanddisastersshowthat

thepeoplewhorepeatthemareworriedandanxious”可知，人們把謠言當(dāng)

作事實(shí)來傳播是因?yàn)橹{言反映了他們內(nèi)心的希望。

35.D第二段第一句提到“Especiallydorumorsspreadwhenwarrequires

censorshiponmanyimportantmatters”，也就是說，在戰(zhàn)時，審查機(jī)構(gòu)忙

于處理其他重要的事物，謠言因此得以傳播。由此可見審查機(jī)構(gòu)可以控

【答案與解析】

36.B由第一段中“andthedesire—ahighlycommendableone—tobringa

decentlivingatthelowestpossiblecosttothelargestpossiblenumberof

people”可知，人們有生活在舒適家庭中的需求。

37.A第二段提到“successingettingpeopleoutofthetenementsofthe19th-

centurycityandintothegreeneryandprivacyofthesingle-familyhomein

thesuburbs(whichhasgivenusurbansprawlandtrafficjams)”，由此可

見，導(dǎo)致交通擁堵的條件也為人們帶來了更好的居住條件。

38.D由最后一段中“Cleaninguptheenvironmentrequiresdetermined,

A.StudyingintheUnitedStates

B.Accreditation

C.HowtoFindtheBestSchool

D.TheMiddleStatesAssociationofCollegesandSecondarySchools

【答案與解析】

41.A后文的解釋為“itsaccreditationsystemisnotadministeredbythe

government,butratherby…”，由此可見美國的認(rèn)證系統(tǒng)與眾不同。

42.B由第二段中“theschoolhasarecognizedstandardoforganization,

instruction,andfinancialsupport”可知，未經(jīng)認(rèn)證的學(xué)校沒有國家的財(cái)政

支持，因此有倒閉的可能性。

43.C第二段提到未經(jīng)認(rèn)證的學(xué)校沒有“recognizedstandardof

organization”，因此認(rèn)證過的學(xué)校符合國家的組織標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

44.D由最后一段“don’thesitatetocheckitsreputationwithaneducation

officeratthenearestU.S.Embassy”可知，可以通過咨詢美國大使館官員

來確認(rèn)。

45.B文章主要介紹了什么是accreditation，并且說明了經(jīng)過認(rèn)證的學(xué)校

與未經(jīng)認(rèn)證學(xué)校的區(qū)別，因此Accreditation作為題目最合適。

【答案與解析】

46.C由第二段“Buteventhislimitedexistencemaysoonbebroughttoan

end”以及“theexpresstrainswhichusedtopassthroughDentstationhave

beenputontoanotherroute”可知，Dent車站有可能隨時關(guān)閉。

47.B第一段中提到“wakesuponsixsummerweekendseachyear”，由此

可見Dent車站一年中只在夏天使用六個周末。

48.C由第三段中“Theproblemisaworn-outsystemandanalmosttotal

lackofcashtorepairit”可知，這些車站關(guān)閉的原因是系統(tǒng)過于陳舊，而

修繕工作需要大量經(jīng)費(fèi)。

49.B第二段中提到“DentstationissituatedontheSettletoCarlislerailway

line,saidtobethemostscenicinthecountry”，即Dent車站是全國最美麗

的風(fēng)景。

【答案與解析】

1.C這里的意思是“記憶是一個關(guān)乎實(shí)踐與練習(xí)的問題”。amatterof……

的問題。

2.Beffort應(yīng)該與動詞make搭配。

3.D由“evenif”可知，句意出現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)折，因此選擇But。

4.A先行詞為time，因此選擇when作為定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。

5.B句意：即使你成功了，你的記憶也有可能“捉弄”你。playtrickson

捉弄。

6.C所選詞為關(guān)系代詞，引導(dǎo)定語從句，在定語從句中做主語，因此

that符合題意。

7.D這里的意思是“上周的一個早晨”。onemorning相當(dāng)于ona

morning。

8.A由于“門”應(yīng)該是被關(guān)，因此用過去分詞形式。leave+sth.+done使

某事被做。

9.C前文作者講述了一個例子，因此這里是“另一次”，用another。

10.C這里的意思是“我發(fā)現(xiàn)口袋里躺著一封信”。

11.D這里表達(dá)的是記得很清楚，應(yīng)該用quitewell。

12.A這里講的是另一種記憶捉弄人的情況。onceinawhile偶爾；有

時。

13.C這句話的時態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時，這件事“做過”發(fā)生在過去，因此用

一般過去時。

14.D“等待”這個動作與“坐在理發(fā)店”同時發(fā)生，因此用現(xiàn)在分詞做伴

隨狀語。

15.C我意識到自己前兩天已經(jīng)剪過發(fā)這個動作是突然發(fā)生的，因此用

suddenly。

16.B后文的from需要與across搭配，意思是“在……對面”。

17.C由文意可知，所選單詞應(yīng)該對應(yīng)后文的“l(fā)aughable”，因此humour

符合題意。

18.A由Unfortunately可知，句意出現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)折，由于前后都有逗號，因此選

however。

19.D這里的意思是“健忘并不總是有趣的”。

20.C前文說到健忘并不有趣，因此其常常給人們帶來很大的尷尬與不

便。
