9.Accordingtothepassage,whichisnotthereasonthatthemandoesn'twantapet?

答案:D)Hedoesn'twanttowalkthem.

点睛解析:从对话中可知,男士觉得养宠物花费时间和金钱,以及不希望将宠物锁在家里,但是并没有提到不愿意遛宠物,因此答案选D。

10.Whatdoesthewomenadvisethemantodowhenthemanisout?

答案:C)Askhisneighbororfriendforhelp.

点睛解析:根据It'saproblem.Butyoucanaskyourneighbororfriendtolookafteritsometimes.可知“可以请求邻居或朋友代为照顾”。答案选C。

M:Isee.Thankyouverymuch.Bye.

W:Bye.

12.WhenisChristmasDay?

答案:C)NextTuesday.

点睛解析:从文中对话ThedayaftertomorrowisChristmasDay.和It'sSundaytodayandwecloseat22:20.可知,圣诞节是后天,而今天是星期天,所以答案为C。

13.WhendoestherestaurantcloseonChristmasDay?

答案:A)21:30.

点睛解析:此题与第一题相关,圣诞节是周二,而从对话ThedayaftertomorrowisChristmasDay,andwillyoupushtheclosingtime?和No,sir.Itwillkeepsameasusual.可知,圣诞当天营业时间并没有改变。pushtheclosingtime意为“推迟关门时间”。答案应该是A。

14.Whatkindoftabledoesthemanwantthisevening?

答案:A)Atablebythewindowinsmoking.

点睛解析:服务生的回答中已经做了总结we'llreverseatablefor2bythewindowinsmokingat20:30thisevening,正确答案为A。

15.Whatdoesthewaitresssuggestthemando?

答案:C)Arrivebefore20:45.

点睛解析:此题比较隐晦,对话中并没有直接用suggest或advise等单词。服务员说Wewillholdthetableforfifteenminutes.“我们会保留桌位15分钟。”而预定时间是20:30,所以客人应在20:45之前到达。

16.Whatdowelearnaboutsmallbusinesses?

答案:B)Theyhavedevelopedfromtraditionalstorestosophisticatedenterprises.

点睛解析:本题考查关于smallbusinesses的说法,听力原文中提到Smallbusinesseshavedevelopedfromtraditionalsmall-townstoressellingfoodorclothingtohighlysophisticatedenterprises.对应B选项的说法,其余各选项与原文不符,所以选B。

17.Whatarethebenefitsofsmallbusinesses?

答案:A)Theycanproduceimportantproductsandcreatejobs.

点睛解析:本题考查的是smallbusinesses的好处,听力原文中提到Theyhavenotonlyproducedimportantproductsbutalsocreatednumerousjobopportunitiesforpeople.对应A选项,其余各项与原文不符,所以选A。

18.Whichoneiscorrectaboutthebusinessplan?

答案:C)Itishelpfultofocusonthetargetandleadtheway.

点睛解析:本题考查的是关于businessplan的正确说法,听力原文中提到itcanhelptofocusonthetargetandleadtheway,对应C选项,A和B与原文不符,D项并没有提及,所以选C。

19.WhatdoesthespeakersayabouttheCariboogoldrush?

答案:B)ThecauseofitisthatgoldwasdiscoveredinQuesnelForks.

点睛解析:本题考查的是关于Cariboogoldrush的情况,听力原文中第一句提到theCariboogoldrushintheyearof1858,因此排除A选项;由withtheexpectationofmakingamillion得知,人们来此地是为了赚大钱,因此排除C选项;D选项错误,听力中提到骆驼是在Californiagoldrush,而不是在Cariboogoldrush中发挥了重要作用。所以该题选B。

20.Whatnewapproachdidthemerchantstaketoshipsupplies?

答案:B)Aherdofcamels.

点睛解析:听力原文中提到somemerchantsandpackersdeterminedtotryanewapproach...theyshippedinaherdofcamels,对应B选项,A和C并未提及,D不是新方案,所以选B。

21.WhatdowelearnaboutthecameltrainsinCaribooregion?

答案:C)Theyweren'tsuitedforCariboo'smountainterrain.

点睛解析:本题考查的是Cariboo地区驼队的情况,听力原文中提到...whiletheywerenotsuitablefortheruggedmountainterraininCariboo.由此可知驼队不适应Cariboo的山区地形,其余各项不符,所以选C。

22.Whichstatementisnotrightabouttheroad?

答案:C)Theroad'snewbuildingandmendingismakingthingsworse.

点睛解析:此题要注意隐藏的陷阱。文中只提到theroas'mendingcausedbyoveruseismakingthingsworse,而newbuilding并不是使情况更糟的原因。答案为C项。

23.Whatdosociologistsblameforsortsofsocialissues?

答案:A)Itsunreasonableconstruction.

点睛解析:由Lotsofsociologistsblametheunreasonableroadconstructionforsortsofsocialissues,可知,原因是道路的不合理规划。B、C、D项正是目前道路问题的具体体现。

24.Whatisthethemetobediscussedtoday?

答案:B)Thetrafficproblemsbyroadandsolutions.

点睛解析:根据原文let'sfocusourattentiononthetheme—thetrafficdefectsofroaddevelopmentandimprovingsolutions可知今天的主题是道路引起的交通问题和解决方案。A、C、D项文中虽然有提到,但并不是要讨论的主题。

25.Whatdowelearnabouttheretailstore'scurrentsituation?

答案:A)Itwasdesertedbutrebornnow.

点睛解析:由Peopleprefertogotothelargesupermarketsfarawayinsteadofthesmallretailstoresclose.和thenear-homeretailstoresgettheirrebirth可知,人们曾经更喜欢去大超市,放弃小商店。而现在情况有所好转,说明人们又重新转向小商店,因此D项错误,A项正确。而B、C项文中并没有提到。

PartIIIReadingComprehension

SectionA

26.答案:B)Occupying

点睛解析:occupy意为“占据,占有”。occupy在本句中作为状语使用,需要根据主语是此动作的执行者还是承受者来确定主动还是被动。theMediterranean明显是occupy的执行者,要用主动形式。

27.答案:J)contamination

点睛解析:此处需要名词。由上下文可知,此处需要与pollution有关的名词,contamination意为“污染物”,故为答案。而pollution本身并没有“污染物”的意思。

28.答案:O)contribute

29.答案:K)nurtured

点睛解析:根据空缺处之前be动词were以及之后介词by判断,本句是被动句,此处应填入动词的过去分词形式。nurture意为“养育”,equip意为“装备”,create意为“创造”,联系上下文,nurture更符合要求。而originate应与介词from搭配使用。

30.答案:M)threatens

点睛解析:此处需要动词的第三人称单数形式,可选的两个词中threatens意为“威胁,恐吓”,而floods意为“涌入”,threatens符合要求。

31.答案:F)floods

点睛解析:同上。floodinto...为固定用法,表示“涌入……”。

32.答案:D)surprisingly

点睛解析:此处需要填入的是一个副词,只有surprisingly可选。notsurprisingly意为“不足为奇”。

33.答案:E)awash

点睛解析:此处考查的是短语的用法,beawashwith...“充斥着……”,是固定短语用法。

34.答案:N)risky

点睛解析:此处考查的是短语的用法,it'sriskytodosth“做某事是有风险的”,是固定短语用法。

35.答案:A)equipped

点睛解析:此处考查的是短语的用法,beequippedwith...“装备有……”,是固定短语用法。

SectionB

38.答案:B

点睛解析:此处是对文段的归纳总结。根据关键词BMI,isrecommended,heightandweight等可定位至B段,而且constitution也与该段落中的physique对应。

39.答案:E

点睛解析:此处是对文章细节的考查。根据关键词overweight,reproductiveorgans,women可定位至E段的最后一句。

40.答案:H

点睛解析:此处是对文章细节的考查。根据关键词non-overweightwoman,smokes20cigarettes,biologicalage可定位至H段的第四句。

41.答案:I

点睛解析:此处是对文章细节的考查。根据关键词freeradicals,excessbodyfat,triggerinflammation等可定位至I段中倒数第二句。

43.答案:K

点睛解析:此处是对文章细节的考查。根据关键词middle-aged,riskofdementia可以定位至J段中的第一句。

SectionC

PassageOne

46.答案:C)Thingsthatwillbringthemafeelingofsuccess.

点睛解析:B和D项,作者在第二段落的开头就已经直接否定。A项和C项看起来都很像正确答案。根据原句Withoutrewards,babieswillstilllearncertainbehaviorsforsuccessfuloutcome.和butthesuccessachievedintheproblemsolvingandskillmastering可以看出,答案为C。

47.答案:D)wouldcontinuethesimplemovementswithoutbeinggivenmilk

点睛解析:文中提到Hefoundthatababygivenenoughmilkwouldrefusethemilk,butwouldstillkeepmakingthelearnedresponseswithclearpleasure.“当给予一个婴儿足够的牛奶后,他会拒绝接受更多的牛奶,但仍然会很愉快地继续做出学到的动作。”排除选项B和C。Soinsituationsofnomilk...followingadisplayoflights.可以进一步排除选项A。所以选D。

48.答案:D)Tobepraised.

点睛解析:此题可参考第46题,直接排除选项B。选项A和C,是做实验时进行的引导训练性动作,明显不对。D“被表扬”是答案。

49.答案:D)theysucceededin"switchingon"thelights

点睛解析:同上,可参考第46题,直接排除选项A,正确答案为D。再次强调要注意关键词success。此外题干主语是thebabies,要从babies的角度来考量此题。这也是"switchingon"加双引号的原因,他们“以为”是自己成功“打开”灯。选项B文中并没有提到,选项C也明显不对。

50.答案:A)abasichumandesiretomakesenseofandcontroltheworld

点睛解析:此题答案即可从原文Andthereexistsahumaninstinctiveurgetounderstandtheworldandbringitundercontrolintentionallyaswell.直接得知。makesenseof...意为“弄懂……,搞清……”。

PassageTwo

51.答案:B)TheEuropeanRenaissanceasaculturaldevelopmentthatincludedchangesinmusicalstyle.

点睛解析:本题为主旨题,文章主要讲述了欧洲文艺复兴时期音乐上的变化,从第二段开始过渡到了这一主题上来,到文章末尾落脚点也是围绕该时期的音乐进行分析,所以选B。

52.答案:D)Otherhistoriansusedtheword"Renaissance"beforeitwasfinallyusedbymusichistorians.

点睛解析:本题考查的是结合语境分析词义,eventually一词的意思是“最后”,分析得知"historiansofculture","arthistorians"和"musichistorians"是按先后顺序给出的,所以选D。

53.答案:A)culturalemphasisonhumanity

点睛解析:文章第一段中指出,AtthattimescholarsandartistsintendedtorestoretheclassicalcivilizationsofGreeceandRome,whichmeantareturntohuman.由此可知,他们追求的是重新重视人本身的价值,B选项不符合原文中的enjoyingthepleasuresofsenses,C并不是追求的内容,D选项文中并未提到,所以选A。

54.答案:C)itcouldnotgetemotionalresponsesfromaudiences.

点睛解析:文章第二段中指出Theyexperiencedthemysticalpowerofancientmusicwhichcouldtouchthelistenersdeeplyandwonderedwhythemodernmusiccouldn'tachievethiseffect.由此可知古希腊、古罗马的音乐能深深打动听众,而他所处时期的音乐却达不到这种效果,由此可知C选项正确。

55.答案:C)Musicneverremainedthesameforalongtimeduringthatperiod.

点睛解析:文章最后一段中的最后一句话指出,这一时期的音乐经历了快速的发展变化,并没有形成单一特有的风格,只有C选项符合,所以选C。
