第23題:

Paragraph2.

參考答案：

B

詳細(xì)解答：

第二段的第一句話是這么說的：PaulWignailfromtheUniversityofLeeds

wasinvestigatingthelinkbetweenvolcaniceruptionsandmass

extinctions.利茲大學(xué)的PaulWignail正在研究火山爆發(fā)與物種大量滅絕的聯(lián)

系。theassociationofmassextinctionswithvolcaniceruptions與thelink

betweenvolcaniceruptionsandmassextinctions在意思上是相同的。

第24題：

Paragraph3.

參考答案:

C

詳細(xì)解答:

第三段的第一句話是這么說的：Wignallcalculatedthe"killing

efficiency，zforthesevolcanoes…Nignall計(jì)算了這些火山的“滅種效率”...

killingpower與〃killingefficiency〃意思差不多。killingpower：滅種力。

第25題：

Paragraph4.

參考答案:

9

D

詳細(xì)解答：

Amassextinction意為“一次大量的生物滅絕”。文章的第一句話是這么

說的：Volcanoesweremoredestructiveinancienthistory.火山在遠(yuǎn)古更

具毀滅性。這是文章的基本論點(diǎn)或基本似設(shè)。假設(shè)是需要證明的。第二、三段其

實(shí)都是在證明這一基本假設(shè)。第三段還有這樣一句話：…oldereruptionswere

atleast10timesaseffectiveatwipingoutlifeastheirmorerecent

rivals.較早的火山爆發(fā)在滅絕生物方面的效率至少是較后來(lái)的對(duì)手的10倍。

這個(gè)命題雖然可用來(lái)支持文章的基本假?zèng)]，但是它本身也需要證明。第四段講的

是二疊紀(jì)生物滅絕，這是發(fā)生在遠(yuǎn)古的大規(guī)模的生物滅絕。這是一個(gè)證據(jù)。因此

D是正確的。

第26題：

Paragraph5.

參考答案：

E

詳細(xì)解答：

Volcaniceruptionsthatcausednomassextinction：沒有造成大量生

物滅絕的火山爆發(fā)。上面講到了“較早的火山爆發(fā)在滅絕生物方面的效率至少是

較后來(lái)的對(duì)手的10倍”。第五段就是對(duì)“較后來(lái)的對(duì)手”的滅絕生物能力不行

的證明。

第27題:

Oldereruptionsweremoredevastating.

參考答案：

A

詳細(xì)解答：

Amorerecentones較后來(lái)的火山爆發(fā)。填入后生成的句子不僅在語(yǔ)法上是

正確的并且跟文章第一句話的意思差不多。

第28題:

ThePermianextinctionisusedtoillustrate.

參考答案：

B

詳細(xì)解答：

thekillingefficiencyforoldereruptions：較早的火山爆發(fā)在滅絕生

物方面的效率。填入后生成的句子意思是：二疊紀(jì)生物滅絕這一事實(shí)用來(lái)說明較

10

早的火山爆發(fā)在滅絕生物方面的效率。這一點(diǎn)我們?cè)趯?duì)第三題做題解時(shí)已經(jīng)提

到。

第29題:

Thecauseoftheextinctionofdinosaurs.

參考答案：

C

詳細(xì)解答：

hasremainedcontroversial：一直是有爭(zhēng)議的。把這一選項(xiàng)跟題干合成后

生成的句子說的是：有關(guān)恐龍滅絕的原因一直是有爭(zhēng)議的。第五段有這么一句

話：…becausemanyscientistsbelieveitwasprimarilycausedbytheimpact

ofanasteroid.……因?yàn)樵S多科學(xué)家相信恐龍的滅絕主要是由于一顆小行星的

影響造成的。“許多科學(xué)家”當(dāng)然不是全部?！坝嘘P(guān)恐龍滅絕的原因一直是有爭(zhēng)

議的”這個(gè)命題是可以從這句話中推斷出來(lái)的。

第30題:

Courtillorrejects.

參考答案：

D

詳細(xì)解答：

Wignail'scalculationsasacceptable合成后的句子是:Courtillot

rejectsWignal1'scalculationsasacceptable.Courtillot拒絕接受Wignall

的計(jì)算。答案可以從最后兩段中找到。

閱讀理解下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題，每道題后面

有4個(gè)選項(xiàng)。請(qǐng)根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容，從每題所給的4個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選擇1

個(gè)最佳答案。

參考答案：c

文章并未提及大學(xué)生參軍的工資待遇比其他工作所提供的薪酬高，而A、B、D

三個(gè)因素均可在文章中找到。

第37題：

A.120,000

B.6,000,000

C.39,000

D.2,000,000

參考答案：B

文章第二段說，軍隊(duì)今年給大學(xué)畢業(yè)生提供了120,000個(gè)工作崗位，而每50個(gè)

打算參軍的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生中就有1個(gè)人有機(jī)會(huì)去部隊(duì)工作，因此可以推知今年約有

6,000,000名大學(xué)畢業(yè)生考慮從軍。

第38題:

參考答案：B

從第四段可知，除了為緩解畢業(yè)生就業(yè)壓力之外,大規(guī)模招募人才也是科技強(qiáng)軍、

國(guó)防現(xiàn)代化的需要。

第39題：

參考答案：C

文章第五段提及，如果大學(xué)畢業(yè)生在11月份征兵工作結(jié)束前找到其他更理想的

工作，仍然可以改變主意，重新選擇職業(yè)，這就給為他們提供了多一次選擇的機(jī)

會(huì)。

第40題：

參考答案：D

從最后一段可以推測(cè)出confidential的意思是“保密性的”，因此“secret”

最為接近。
