B、communicatebetweenthepovertycampaignersandworldleaders

C、eliminateagriculturalsubsidiestoopenmoremarketsforpoorcountries

D^regulatetheemissionsinvolvingbothdevelopedanddevelopingcountries

標準答案：B

知識點解析：根據(jù)題干中的newpoint查到第3段第1句，該句指出這次峰會broke

newground(破天荒第一次)把povertycampaigners與theworld'seightmostpowerful

leaders召集在一起。所以選項B是正確答案。

A、aidtoAfrica

B、worldtrade

C^climatechange

D、anti-terroristaction

標準答案：D

知識點解析：根據(jù)題干查到第8段，該段最后一句明確指出峰會討論了對非洲的援

助、氣候變化和世界貿(mào)易，只有選項D未被提及，所以選項D是正確答案。

3、Fromthedescriptioninthepassage,welearnthat.

B、thisG8summitisonlyastatementofzealtomeetallthepowerfulleaders

C、thisG8summitisofgreatsuccesstosomeextentinspiteoflittleachievement

D、G8countriesallplayedaleadingroleinreducingcarbondioxideemissions

標準答案：C-

知識點解析：文章開頭三段充分肯定了這次峰會的成功。但從第4段開始，文章指

出峰會不可能解決所有問題、問題也很難解決、領導人在具體目標和時間制定上的

猶豫不決等等，可見，這次峰會雖然成功，實效不大。所以選項C是正確答案.

C^coulddeterminetheintelligenceofNeolithicmanbythefingerprints

D、oncehelpedsolveamurdercasebydiscriminatingthefingerprints

A、isanexcellentworkerwithhighskills

B、hastherighttoenjoyanannualvacation

C、canmilkthecowtoproducemoremilk

D、bringspeoplethefreshmilkeveryday

標準答案：B

知識點解析：根據(jù)題干定位到原文第2段，該段第2句指出在挪威每個人都享有度

假的權利，所以奶農(nóng)自然也不例外，選項B是正確答案。

9、TheNonvegiansenjoythefollowingwelfareEXCEPT.

案。

12、It'shardtoremovethemodemslavetradebecauseofthefollowingreasons

EXCEPTthat

A、itisafatbusinessthatattractsmanytraffickers

B、itcanmakemoremoneybuthaslessrisk

C、somecountriesdidnotexecutelawsproperly

D、criminalsalwaysslippedawaywithoutbeingnoticed

標準答案：D\

知識點解析：解答此題需定位到原文第2段。全段給出了現(xiàn)代奴隸貿(mào)易難以根除的

原因，包括了選項A、B、C提到的三點，但D在原文中沒有提到，而且句中若出

現(xiàn)類似always這類副詞往往與事實不符，所以D是正確答案。

13、Whichofthefollowingadjectivesbestdescribestheauthor'streatmentofthetopic?

A、Subjective.

B、Positive.

C、Negative.

D、Prejudiced.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：此題考查作者的態(tài)度，解答此題需通覽全文，把握基調(diào)。從全文可以

讀出作者對世界奴隸貿(mào)易現(xiàn)狀是持批評態(tài)度的。他語調(diào)客觀，不帶有偏見，但他的

態(tài)度絕不是肯定態(tài)度，而是否定態(tài)度，因此正確答案是C。

14、Therelationshipbetweenthefirstandsecondparagraphsisthat.

A、eachpresentsoneaspectofihemodernslavetrade

B、bothpresentsthefaultsofthemodernslavetrade

C、thefirstisthelogicalresultofthesecond

D^(hefirstgeneralizes(hesecondwithexamples

標準答案：C

知識點解析：此題考查考生分析段與段之間邏輯關系的能力。文章第I段描述的是

現(xiàn)代奴隸貿(mào)易的猖獗，第2段講它難以根除的原因，顯然這兩段的關系是先果后

因。正確答案是C。

二、簡答題(本題共8題，每題上0分，共8分。)

PassageOne

15、WhathasthisG8meetingachievedaccordingtothepassage?

標準答案：The$50bn(￡28.8bn)Africaaidboostanddebt-cancellation.

知識點解析：根據(jù)題目查到第1段最后一句。該句表明它取得了前所未有的成果，

It指的是上文提到的G8meeting。該句破折號和suchas一詞用于舉例其中的一個

成果：取消非洲債務并給予援助，故答案為The$50bn(￡28.8bn)Africaaidboost

anddebt-cancellationo

16、WherewilltheG8'srealresolvebetestedaccordingtoSchiffcrcs?

標準答案：Atthreekeymeetingslaterthisyear.

知識點解析：根據(jù)題目中的theG8'srealresolvebetested定位到第4段第2句。該

句Schiffcres寫到今年遲些時候有活動家和其他人將會在三場重要會議中檢驗G8

的真決心.可見答案為Atthreekeymeetingslaterthisyear。

17、WhatcausesglobalwarmingaccordingtotheUS?

標準答案：Humanactivity.

知識點解析：根據(jù)題目中的globalwanning定位到倒數(shù)第2段最后一句，該句指出

美國被迫承認氣候變化由人類活動引起，所以答案為Humanactivityo

18、PassageTwoWhyisthemuseum'sdeputydirectorsoexcitedaboutthe

fingerprints?

標準答案：Becausetheymaybeevidenceofintelligentbutilliteratepeople.

知識點解析：根據(jù)題目中的museum,sdeputydirector和excited查到露5段，該段

最后一句說明鹿角泥巴上竹指紋也許能證明鹿角使用者雖不識字卻很聰明，這正是

這位depulydirector感到非常興奮和激動的原因所在，故本題答案可表述為

Becausetheymaybeevidenceofintelligentbutilliteratepeopleo

19、PassageThreeWhatdocsthephrase''flauntingone,smoney'*inthelastbuttwo

paragraphmean?

標準答案：Showingoffone'smoney.

知識點解析：flauntingone、money中的flaunl是“炫耀，夸示”的意思，在倒數(shù)第3

段flaunt出現(xiàn)的上下文中，有conspicuousconsumption“炫耀性消費”這類的線索幫

助我們確定flaunt的意思是showoff,因此答案為Showingoffone'smoneyo

PassageFour

20、Whatdoestheword"appallingly"inthefirstparagraphprobablymean?

標準答案：Terribly.

知識點解析:原文中appallingly修飾high,該句意為“盡管近來情況有所改善,牽

涉到奴隸貿(mào)易的相關人員數(shù)量仍然_______大”，據(jù)此可肯定appallingly不是褒義

詞。appall是“使驚駭”之義，可見叩pallingly意為“駭人聽聞地"，故答來為

Terribly。

21、Whatistheadvantageoftheinternetincombatingtrafficking?

標準答案：Ithelpstoidentifyandtrackdowntheperpetrators.

知識點解析：根據(jù)題目中的theinlemet定位到第4段第2句。該句前半部分說互聯(lián)

網(wǎng)有助于識別和跟蹤罪犯，即為互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的好處；后半部分說它也有問題，即為互聯(lián)

網(wǎng)的不足，可見答案在于該句的前半部分，即為IIhelpsloidenlifyandlrackdown

theperpetrators?

22>Whatdeterminescountries,beingrankedinto3tiers?

標準答案：America'sTraffickingVictimsProtectionActof2000.

知識點解析：根據(jù)題目中3tiers可定位到第6段首句。該句指出：該報告根據(jù)一國

有多么遵從美國2000年人口販運受害者保護法，將世界與國分為3個等級，可見

美國2000年人口販運受害者保護法決定了各個國家被分為三級，即答案為

America'sTraffickingVictimsProtectionActof2000o
