參考答案

1.lightheartedrecreationallightheartedrecreational解析：文章第一自然段第八句strictdefinitionalsomeansabandonmentofthetraditionalusageinwhich“sport...”referstoanylightheartedrecreationalactivity，即是指輕松的消遣的活動。

2.bargaining/negotiatingbargaining/negotiating解析：本文從頭至尾的字里行間里都談到這位外籍教師如何“討價還價”。其中最為集中的講述在第四段里。其中說到:“Iwasdoingthisfor125yuanperhourwhenlfoundoutthathereinChengdu，175yuanperhouristhenorm．Startat200andletthembargainyoudownto175”。在這里，本文作者介紹了他討價還價的技巧。

3.themoneypressuresthemoneypressures解析：根據題干中的信息詞O'Donnell和22-year-old定位到最后一個小標題下的第二段，可知O'Donnell的兒子年僅22歲就在自己的臥室內自殺，而O'Donnell確信是金錢的壓力導致了他的自殺，由此可得答案。

4.children'sattention．children'sattention．解析：細節題。文章第16段介紹了一種電子語言學習系統Chengo，這套軟件以2008年奧運會為基礎，抓住了孩子們對于故事，游戲及動畫的興趣，由12位來自中國和美國的專家設計而成。

5.C解析：細節題。文章中提到歐共體委員會主席賈克·戴勒斯，但他并沒有提出將歐元這個名稱作為歐盟統一市場上流通的唯一貨幣的名稱。文章并沒提及是誰提出的，因而不知道。

6.lockthedoorslockthedoors解析：由題干中drive可定位到第五個小標題下第三段第五條第二句Alsomakesurethatyourdoorsarelockedbeforeyoudriveuptothemachine．此處要求填入省略to的動詞不定式。aswellas短語要求其前后部分應為并列成分。原句中also與aswellas意思相同，因此將該句中主謂結構根據題干語法需要變為動賓結構，可得答案lockthedoors。

7.A解析：根據題干中的"sulphurparticlesandotherpollutants"，定位到第一個小標題下的最后一段中的第一句話"Theglobalwarmingwouldbemorepronouncedifitwerenotforsulphurparticlesandotherpollutantsthatshadeus．．．”這是個虛擬語氣句型，“如果不是因為關注硫化物和其他污染源而占據了視線，人們就會更關注全球變暖這個問題”。也就是說，因為關注硫化物和其他污染源，所以人們忽視了溫室效應和全球變暖這個問題，認為這個問題并不緊迫。

8.paradeoflanguageparadeoflanguage解析：題干考查對theverbalgymnast的理解。根據開頭的破折號可知onewhomakesaparadeoflanguage是對theverbalgymnast的一個綜合定義，下文是對其的進一步說明。再根據題干空格前動詞make和冠詞a，可推知paradeoflanguage與之搭配，故為正確答案。

9.demanddemand解析：此處應填入名詞性成份。題干中trafficlightcycleperiodcanbeadjusted與原文couldchangelightcycletimes屬同義轉述；題干中的accordingto與原文中的介詞on功能相同，都表示“根據”。故空白處應填入on的賓語。

10.EuropeandIndia

11.lookingformedicalplantslookingformedicalplants解析：文章第六段第三句話提到“…ThepassionforplantcollectingsprangpartlyfromtheexpansionofCatholicreligiousordersabroadinthe16thcentury，lookingformedicinalplantsaswellassoulstoconvert．”。人們熱衷于收集花草的一部分原因出自神職人員尋求治病藥材和拯救靈魂皈依宗教的需要，因此答案為“lookingformedicalplants”。

12.B

13.C解析：根據題干中的信息詞freshwatersupplies和glaciers定位到原文第一段，可知北極當地人將發現自己的食物儲備不見了，而亞洲和南美洲的淡水供應也將隨著提供淡水的冰川的融化而消失，再結合下文可知，這只是一種假設，而原文并沒有對該假設給出具體解釋。

14.B解析：文章第三段中提到當機器人醫生打開你的腦殼時，被麻醉的是你的頭顱，而不是大腦，你是完全有意識的。

15.undergraduatesundergraduates解析：從文章最后一句ItmakesAmericanpoliticalprocessesandhistoryaccessibleandunderstandableforundergraduates可知答案。

16.overpopulationinthenationoverpopulationinthenation解析：參見小標題A.PopulationPolicyintheUnitedStates下面的第3句：Inthemid-20thcentury,astherestoftheworldawakenedtothepotentialcrisisbroughtonbyuncheckedpopulationgrowth,theU.S.governmentexaminedthepossibleimpactofoverpopulationinthenation．由此可知，在20世紀中葉，美國政府調查了國家人口過剩可能帶來的沖擊。

17.C

18.hardwareandsoftwarehardwareandsoftware解析：第8段，今天還有一些人的電腦沒有與互聯網連接，過低估計這一因素就是硬件和軟件的改進程度。

19.B

20.theirfoundationtheirfoundation解析：根據題干關鍵詞“BCorporations”定位到第十二段第三句：“BCorporations”,anewcorporatestructurethatrequiresenterprisestobuildintotheirfoundationstrongsocialandenvironmentalstandardsfortheiroperations.可知，B公司是一種新型的公司結構，要求企業在其基礎中植入堅實的社會和環保運行標準。

21.D解析：該題問“以下那一項不是英語作為第二外語的特征?”文章最后一段涉及的就是英語作為第二外語的特征，而"Today，mostlargepublicschoolsandcommunitycollegeshaveESLprograms."顯示[D]是錯誤信息。因此，[D]“只在公立學校教授”是正確答案。

22.D解析：本文除了第一段介紹了不同人對不同體育項目的興趣外，冰球(hockey)、足球(soccer)等均為體育項目，其余都是在說棒球(baseball)的魅力。故正確答案為D。

23.A解析：W:Somethingisdefinitelybuggingyou.Whyareyouwalkingupanddownthehallway?

M:It'sthispresentationIhavetogivetomorrow.I'mabitonedgebutI'llgetoveritbythen.

Q:Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation?

24.C解析：M:Susan,Ifedsohappynow.I'vejustgotthenewsthatI'vewonthescholarshipforthenextschoolyear.

W:Youcertainlydeserveit.

Q:Whatdoestilewomanmean?

25.A解析：綜合推斷題。男士請女士告知哪里疼，女士說她某處特別是在咬熱的或冷的東西時疼，可見女士是牙疼，由此推斷，男士是牙醫，所以A正確。cook(廚師)，dietician(營養學家)，twirler(領隊)，均不正確。

26.reflected

27.B解析：WhenwasthefirstCannesFilmFestivalheld?

信息明示題。文章第一段指出，直到1946年才舉辦第一屆戛納電影節，所以B正確。

28.B解析：觀點態度題。根據問題What…themanthinkof…?可把答案出處鎖定在男士所說的話語中。根據challengingwork以及thepayisdecentenough可知，B為答案。由rewarding≈thepayisdecentenough，可排除A。C可能是依據Igettomeetlotsofnewpeople設計的干擾項，但這并不足以稱得上是weakness，故排除；選項D與A意思相近，因答案唯一可排除。

29.D解析：細節題。原文中說“onthebasisofhisscholasticability，languageproficiency，character，andpersonality，almsandfutureprospects”，D選項正好是其中之一。

30.C解析：細節推斷題。男士說:“我注意到你時常收到來自加拿大的信件，你能否幫我積攢一下郵票?我妹妹收集郵票呢。”女士回答到：“我的室友已經要這些郵票了。”言外之意便是她不能把郵票給男士的妹妹了，所以答案選C。錯誤選項：A她將為男士的妹妹攢郵票：B她不再會收到來自加拿大的信了；D她已經把郵票給男士的室友了。

31.D解析：Whatageparkingmetersusedto?

32.D解析：綜合推斷題。男士一直在批判現在的咖啡屋，在最后女士問男士是否喝完了咖啡，是否可以走了時，男士回答說自己花了超過三美元買那杯咖啡，因此要喝完，由此可知，他們是在喝咖啡，故選D。

33.D

34.C解析：Howarepeopleexpectedtopurchasetheirtickets?

35.benefit

36.B解析：HowdidGreenadvertisementschangeafterthefirstwave?

37.security

38.publishedpublished解析：分析句子結構可知，句子成分完整，38inthejournalPsychosomaticMedicine作后置定語修飾anewstudy，故空應填一過去分詞形式的動詞且其極有可能有“發表”或“刊登”之義。

39.ButIdon'tthinkeventhemostardentsupportersofelectronicinstrumentsexpectthemtocompletelyreplaceacousticinstruments.ButIdon'tthinkeventhemostardentsupportersofelectronicinstrumentsexpectthemtocompletelyreplaceacousticinstruments.

40.A解析：Whatistheevidencegivenbythemantothefirstquestion?

41.II解析：第五段中的第二句話說：有時村民們誘捕池子里的那些鱷魚，有的用來充饑，有的用來在當地市場上出售。村民賣東西當然要到市場(market)去。

42.D解析：句意理解型細節題。參見第三段最后一句：從傳統的市中心地帶向外大規模發展，這種部分分散方式只是將(擁堵)問題轉移到了城市周邊地區。
