2.段落大意題。根據(jù)第三段的關鍵詞“oilworkers”“Fieldarcheologists”“aTexasNationalGuardgroup”和“travelers”可知這段主要講的是被颶風困住的人,所以選B。

3.段落大意題。根據(jù)最后一段的“Butthere’reafewthingsyoucandotoprepareyourselfforsomeunexpectedemergencies."可知這段主要給出了一些應對預料之外的緊急情況的建議,所以選A。

4.文章出處題。文章介紹了颶風給人們帶來的危害,同時給讀者提供了一些應對突如其來的颶風的建議,這些和人們的生活密切相關,所以選C。C答案：1.B;2.D;3.D;4.A解析：1.推理判斷題。第一段第二句說“不幸的是,它們不是很有效”。也就是說,普通的斑馬線并不起作用,絕大多數(shù)司機根本就不減速。故選B。

2.細節(jié)理解題。第三段最后一句說,先前見過3D斑馬線的Thakkar和Pandya決定在印度用相同的方法進行測試看看它們是否有用,這種斑馬線讓司機以為街上放著大木頭。由此可知,司機看到3D斑馬線減速是因為他們誤認為街上有大木頭,故選D。

3.段落大意題。最后一段第一句是該段主題句,意思是“可以肯定的是,在這個城市最危險的四條公路上使用3D斑馬線之后的六個月里,再沒有被報道發(fā)生過事故!”由此可知,木段講述了3D斑馬線的作用,即到目前為止效果不錯,沒有事故發(fā)生。因此推斷本段主要討論了3D斑馬線的積極效果,故選D。

4.推理判斷題。最后一段最后一句說,“所以讓我們一起期待吧?！弊髡咂诖嗟?D斑馬線出現(xiàn)在街上,因此推斷作者對于3D斑馬線持支持的態(tài)度,故選A。D答案：1.D;2.C;3.C;4.B;5.A

解析：1.考查句意理解。通讀全文可知,美國國家航空航天局的科學家們的這句話表達了科學家們的信心,并不是說他們已經(jīng)掌握了確切證據(jù),所以選D項。

2.考查細節(jié)理解。由第一段最后一句話可知,C正確。

3.考查細節(jié)理解。從第七段內(nèi)容可以得出,這些行星之所以重要,是因為它們處于恒星外的"宜居帶"上。

4.考查推理判斷。從第九段的內(nèi)容可以推斷出B項正確?？茖W家認為在銀河系可能有比恒星更多的行星。

5.考查主旨大意。新聞的主題一般在第一段,而文章正是圍繞第一段展開的,所以選A。美國國家航空航天局的科學家有信心在地球外找到生命。答案：

1.客觀填空D

2.客觀填空E

3.客觀填空A

4.客觀填空C

5.客觀填空G

解析：1.本段是講應聲蟲的特點。D選項"即使提出的所有的點子都互相矛盾",與空前句相承接,符合語境,故選D。2.本段是建議與應聲蟲討論他們的行為,E選項"有時候他們沒意識到他們對每件事都同意"符合語境,故選E。3.

A選項"詢問他們的觀點是什么"與空后句中的"andasktheiropinions"相照應,符合語境,故選A。4.空前句是推測應聲蟲總是同意的原因,C選項提供了另一種可能,符合語境。5.

空前句"Thankthemfortheirideas",而G選項說明這樣做的好處,且G項中的This指代上文的做法,前后銜接緊密。故選G。答案：1.A;2.B;3.B;4.A;5.C;6.B;7.D;8.A;9.A;10.C;11.B;12.D;13.A;14.C;15.B;16.D;17.A;18.C;19.B;20.D

解析：1.根據(jù)文中的"WhenIaskedDadwhyhishatwasputonbackwards"知,作者看到父親反戴著(wearing)帽子。

2.聯(lián)系下文可知,父親對他的行為做解釋。

3.根據(jù)常識,牲畜每天都要喝水,所以水箱每日(daily)都要裝水。

4.根據(jù)"ittookalongtimetofill"可以推知,父親這期間開始做其他的事情。goaheaddoingsth."開始做某事"。

5.聯(lián)系overflow可知,此處指水不斷地流會出現(xiàn)溢出的危險(danger)。

6.水箱滿了,然后水溢出來,這樣水就會被浪費(wasted)。

7.根據(jù)下文中的"Whenhefinishedhis8andbegan...whereitwassupposedtobe"可知,父親說明他反戴帽子的原因(reason)。

8.根據(jù)語境,此處是說當他做完雜務,脫掉工作服。同時第一段中的"wheremyfatherwasdoingchores"也是提示。

9.當他做完雜務,脫掉工作服的時候,
