1NThefirstsentenceinthefirstparagraphdoesn'tindicatethat.

A、thespeciesonearthhavedecreased90%now

B、thepast450millionyearshavewitnessedextinctionseveraltimes

C^everyextinctionhasa90%speciesdecrease

D、theearthhasexperiencedfivegreatextinction

標準答案：A

知識點解析:細節(jié)題?！癟heEarthhasbeenstrippedofupto90%ofitsspeciesfive

timesbeforeinthepast450millionyears”意為在過去的4.5億年中，地球曾經(jīng)五次

損失了90%的生物。A中錯在不是現(xiàn)在，而是在過去的4.5億年。B、C、D都符

合文意。本題考察的是對成分復雜句子的解讀。

2、Thesentence“thistimethere,snorogueasteroid（小行星）toblame**means.

A^peopleblamedasteroidsbecausetheyaretoonaughty

B、peoplefeelpityaboutnothavinganasteroidtoblame

C、theearthwillexperiencedanotherextinctionbecauseoftheasteroids

D^theasteroidsonceservedasthereasonofthepastextinction

標準答案：D

知識點解析：詞匯題。文章前面一直在說之前的五次物種大滅絕，后面要引出的是

這一次的物種消亡。提到了"it'sabouttohappenagain”和“thistime”,可見之前的滅

亡原因是小行星。故選D。A、B都是字面意思，而C則意思相反。

3、Whatisfalseaboutthereasonsofgreatextinction?

A、Killingtheanimalsforfoodcausedtheextinction.

B、Somespeciesdiedoutprobablyjustbecauseofaroad.

C、Animalsaresensitivetonewenvironment.

D、Manyspeciesextinctbecauseofaclimatechange.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：細節(jié)題。全文都在講述造成大滅絕的原因。A項出自

^overexploitation—whichistosaykilling,animalsforfood,clothingorthesheer

perversepleasureofit——playsabigrole",但是邏輯有誤，以動物為食只是其中一

個原因，故選A。而B、C、D都可以在文中找到。

4、AccordingtotheBryanWaish'sview,whichstatementisNOTcorrect?

A、Thelocalspeciesextinctbecausetheecosystemistoocrowd.

B、Thenumberoftheinvasivespeciesincreaseseasily.

C>Theinvasivespeciesarefromotherplaces.

D、Theinvasivespecieskilledthelocalanimals,whichcausestheextinction.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：細節(jié)題。細節(jié)的位置在“therearcinvasivespecies...whichhitcharide

intoanewecosystemonshipsorpackingmaterial,orarebroughtinaspets,and

thenreproducewildly,crowdingoutnativespecies”，介紹了入侵物種的來源和危

害，都由船或包裝物或作為寵物帶來，迅速繁殖，進而擠走了本地生物。A、B、

C在句中都可以找出，D錯在入侵物種不一定是吃掉了本地物種。

5、Whatisthebesttitleforthispassage?

A^WhatCausesTheGreatExtinction?

TheSixthGreatExtinctionIsUnderway-AndWe'retoBlame

C、TheEndoftheAnthropocene

D、QuitSeekingSelf-interest

標準答案：B

知識點解析：主旨題。文章以之前的大滅絕開頭，引入人類面臨的大滅絕，在介紹

了造成滅絕的原因后，提出了倡議，不僅有客觀，而且有對于人類前途的擔憂和建

議。反觀這幾個題目，A只強調了客觀原因，C項過于含糊，D項只提到了倡議，

只有B最為全面。

climatewasactuallygettinghotterwasstillmurky...notanymore”即十年前.這種觀點

只是理論上的，證據(jù)是模糊的，而現(xiàn)在再不是了。故選D。

C、itisobviousthattheworldhasstartedgettingwarmerandwarmer

D、weshouldcarryoutmoreresearchtoprovetheeffectsofglobalwarming

標準答案：C

unquestionablybegun”.可見該機構的人員認為這種變暖毫無疑問已經(jīng)開始了。A、

B不符合文意，D沒有提及。故選C正確。

8、Temperaturesallovertheworld.

A^rose5℃inthe1990s

B、werethehighestin1990s

C、arerecordedonfiletoresearchglobalwarming

D^eitherincreaseordecreasedependingonthelocation

10、Whatisthebesttitleforthepassage?

A^LifeintheGreenhouse

B、HowDocsOurPlanetGetWarmer?

C、WeAreMakingtheWorldWarmer

D^EverythingIsMelting

標準答案：A

知識點解析：主旨題。文章主要是在介紹全球變暖對于地球上生物生活的影響，并

頗。故選A。

A、Theresultsofithavebeenpublished.

B、Allkidswhotakepartinthestudyhadaninterview.

C、Thequestionnairesofitcontainedfivequestions.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：細節(jié)題。"TheUniversityofBristolstudy,publishedinPediatrics...had

thekidsfilloutquestionnaires"和l"thequestionnairescontained20questionscovering

fivesections,\由此可見A正確，C知D錯誤。B則全文都沒有提及。

12、Whatisthepassagemainlyabout?

ANItdescribesthereasonspeoplewatchtelevision.

Itreportsthefindingsofascientificstudy.

C^Itdiscusseswaystoimprovechildren5sphysicalhealth.

D、Itadvisesparentsonraisingtheirchildren.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：主旨題。本文全文都在圍繞著這項研究展開，包括研究的背景，方

法，結果和推論。而作者一直都非?？陀^地描述著這項研究。故選B正確。

13、Howdidtheresearcherscarryoutthestudy?

problems,accordingtotheUniversityofBristolstudy?

A^Playingcomputereveryday.

B、WatchingTV3hoursperday.

C、Doingfewphysicalactivities.

D^Owningfewfriends.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：細節(jié)題。第五段中提到孩子們每天看電視時間或者用電腦時間超過兩

小時會導致心理問題的增加，故B正確。A項沒有說到玩電腦的時間，如果不超

過兩個小時，也不會增加風險。從“physicalactivityisgoodfbrhealthinmany

ways,butitcan'tmakeupfbrlonghoursofscreenviewing'沖可以看出體育活動并不

會緩解看屏幕時間長帶來的危害，故C錯誤。D項文中沒有提及。

15、Howcanchildrenimprovementalhealthaccordingtothepassage?

A、BylimitingTVandcomputerusetolessthantwohoursaday.

B、Bygettingmorephysicalexercise.

C、Byplayingmoreeducationalcomputergames.

D^Bygoingtobedearliereachnight.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：細節(jié)題。文章的主要觀點是過久地看屏幕可以導致兒童心理問題。而

這種危害是其他活動是彌補不了的。故選A正確。

16、Oneofmosteffectivewaystodealwithchoricinsomniais.

A、tohaveastiffdrink

B>topopanallergypill

C、tosleepandgetupearly

D、Cognitive/behavioraltherapy

標準答案；D

知識點解析：細節(jié)題。細節(jié)定位在第四段，^Cognitive/behavioraltherapy-

apsychology-basedtreatrnentthattrainspeopletoreduceanxietyandtakeothersleep-

promotingsteps—isveryeffective”，這種方式非常有效，故D正確。而A、B爰文

章開頭都被作者否定T，“expertsagreeallthatself-medicatingisabadidea”。而C文

章沒有提及。

17、WhichofthefollowingsymptomsdoesNOTbelongtoinsomnia?

A、Walkingaroundinafog.

B、Lackofenergy.

C、Napirregularly.

D、Cognitivefunctionsloss.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：細節(jié)題。文章的第二段詳細地描述了成年人失眠的癥狀：走路晃悠如

在夢中，記憶和認知功能緩慢，在開車和工作中打盹，沒有力氣等。A、B、C都

有所提及。但是D意為“認知功能缺失”，和原文表述不相同。這里應該注意選項

和原文的細微區(qū)別。

18、TheNationalInstitutesofHealthfoundthat.

A^unproventherapiesarecommonlyusedbypeople

B、chronicinsomniaisjustaminorhealthyproblem

C、thesideeffectsofcognitive/behavioraltherapydeserveourattention

D、dietarysupplementscanbeintroducedtoinsomniasufferers

標準答案：A

知識點解析：細節(jié)題。該細節(jié)在第三段，“Chronicinsomniaisamajorpublic

healthproblem.Andtoomanypeopleareusingunproventherapies,evenwhilethere

arcafewtreatmentsthatdowork”,即慢性失眠是一人事關公眾身體健康的大問題；

盡管目前有一些行之有效的治療方法，還是有不少人使用未經(jīng)驗證的療法。應該注

意這里說的是該機構的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，不是文章中的所有發(fā)現(xiàn)，B、C、D都沒有提

及，故選A。

19、"over-the-counter"inLinel,Para.6means.

A、non-prescriptional

B>counterottering

C、cheapandeasy-to-gei

D、illegal

標準答案：A

知識點解析：詞匯題。over意為“在……之上”，counter意為“柜臺”?？催x項時，A

項提醒我們藥分為處方藥和非處方藥.而。verthecounter非常形象地描述了非處方

藥的銷售方法，即直接在柜臺上銷售。此外，C、D都與語境相距甚遠，B過于字

面，用排除法可以選出A.

20、Fromthepassagewecaninferthat.

A、unprovenmedicinescannottreatchronicinsomniaatall

B、insomniasufferershavefoundcurablemedicines

C>sleepspecialistsandpsychologistscannotbetrusted

D、chronicinsomniastil'bafflessleepexperts

標準答案：D

知識點解析：推斷題。對于A,文中涉及unprovenmedicines的只有“toomany

peopleareusingunproventherapies,evenwhilethereareafewtreatmentsthatdo

work”.而A沒有被提及。B中說失眠者已經(jīng)找到了可醫(yī)治的藥物，而文中說太多

的人們都在用沒有經(jīng)過臉證的治療方法.敵人們實際卜沒有找到°C項在文中沒有

提及。由“scientistsknowsurprisinglylittleaboutwhatcauseschronicinsomnia,its

healthconsequencesandhowbesttotreatit”可知D項正確。

A、intendedtobeasensiblestudentwithnobleideals

B、wantedtobeanexampleofpracticalityandrationality

C>intendedtobeacombinationofengineerandhumanist

D、wantedtocoordinateengineeringwithliberal-artscoursesincollege

標準答案：C

知識點解析：事實細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文中第2段第3、4句的具體說明以及第3段末句

的概括說明“我將成為個完整的工程師：集理性的技術天才和感性的人文學者丁

一體?！笨芍狢正確。

2、Accordingtotheauthor,byinteractingwithpeoplewhostudyliberalarts,

engineeringstudentscan.

A、broadentheirhorizons

becomenobleidealists

C>receiveguidanceintheircareers

D、balanceengineeringandtheliberalarts

標準答案：A

知識點解析：事實推理題。由文章第2段第4句“我想通過與非理工科的同學的相

互交往來開闊我的視野”，可推斷出A正確。其他均無原文依據(jù)或斷章取義。

3、Intheeyesoftheauthor,asuccessfulengineeringstudentisexpected.

A、tobeimaginativewithavaluesystemtoguidehim

B>tobeatechnicalgeniuswithawidevision

C>tohaveanexcellentacademicrecord

D^tobewiseandmature

標準答案：B

知識點解析：事實推理題。第3段最后一句說，“我將成為一個完整的工程師：集

技術天才和人文學者于一體“，B"成為視野寬闊的技術天才”與原文相符，故選B。

A、C、D均無原文支持或斷章取義。

4、Theauthor'sexperienceshowsthathewas.

A^creative

B、irrational

C^ambitious

D、unrealistic

標準答案：D

知識點解析：事實推理題。根據(jù)第4段第2句“我的崇高理想與現(xiàn)實發(fā)生了沖突”，

以及下文對于作者在協(xié)調文理科之間的困難可知，原文的想法是不現(xiàn)實的，故可推

斷D正確。

5、Theword"they"in"togethertheythreatentoconfuse.'1(Line3,Para,5)refersto

A、practicalityandrationality

engineeringandtheliberalarts

C^realityandnobleideals

D、flexibilityandavaluesystem

標準答案：B

知識點解析：詞義理解題。they一般指代前一句話中的復數(shù)名詞，根據(jù)最后一段的

第1、2句”…engineeringandtheliberalartssimplydon'tmixaseasily...togethertlicy

threatentoconfiise”可以推斷，they指的是engineeringandtheliberalarts。

6、TheNationalTrustis.

A^arichgovernmentdepartment

B、acharitysupportedmainlybythepublic

C、agroupofareasofgreatnaturalbeauty

D^anorganizationsupportedbypublictaxes

標準答案：B

知識點解析：事實細節(jié)題。從文章第1段末句可找到答案。選項A顯然與原文意

思相反，選項C和D則無原文依據(jù)。

7、The"CountryHouseScheme"wasstarted.

A^withthefoundingoftheNationalTrust

B、asthefirstprojectoftheNationalTrust

C、afterLordLothian'sdonation

D^toprotectLordLothian'shouse

標準答案：C

知識點解析：推理判斷題。第2段第2句表明洛錫安勛爵捐贈了他的房產后，這個

計劃才啟動起來，因此選項C正確，也由此可以否定選項A。根據(jù)第2段最后兩

句可知這個計劃是為了保護具有歷史價值的房子，而不僅僅是為了保護洛錫安勛爵

的房子，因此選項D不對.

8、LandprotectedbytheNationalTrust.

A^canbedevelopedandmodernized

B、includesnaturallyandhistoricallyvaluablesites

C^consistsofcountryhousesandnaturereserves

D、isprimarilyfortouriststoBritain

標準答案：B

知識點解析：事實細節(jié)題。最后一段從preserving開始的部分指出了本題的答案。

第3段倒數(shù)第2句所說的"nodevelopmentordisturbancesofanykindarcpermitted”可

幫助排除選項A；選項C內容不完整；選項D中的限制詞primarily使用不妥，無

原文依據(jù)。

9、Theword"invade"inthelastparagraphisusedtoemphasizethat.

A、theBritishdonotliketourists

B>touriststoBritainareunfriendly

C>touristscometoBritaininlargenumbers

D^Britainisattackedbymassesoftourists

標準答案：C

知識點解析：詞義推斷題。由invade所在的句子"forthemillionsoftouristswho

eachyearinvade...”可知這是托管會保護自然美景和歷史勝地的原因所在。從而可

以推斷出invade強調來英國游玩的游客之多，因此選項C為正確答案。

10、Themainpurposeofthispassageisto.

A、informthereadersabouttheNational1rust

B、promotetheNationalTrust'smembership

C、makepeopleawareofthenaturalbeautyofBritain

D、letthegeneralpublicsharetheviewsoftheNationalTrust

標準答案：A

知識點解析：主旨大意題?？v觀全文可發(fā)現(xiàn)theNationalTrust和theTrust在文章開

頭以及文中反復出現(xiàn)，文章是一篇說明文，主要目的是介紹theNationalTrust的機

構性質及其功能，因此選項A正確。文章未討論托管會的成員問題，因此選項B

不正確。最后兩段雖然提到英國的自然景色很美，但這并非文章的主題思想，因此

選項C不對。本題最具干擾性的是選項D,但是本文并不是一篇議論文，其目的

不是讓讀者認同其中的觀點，文章更多的是用說明性的語言來說明托管會的一些做

法。
