Passage53

【答案與解析】打嗝是很常見的生理現(xiàn)象。本文向我們講述了這樣一個小故事：哈利從某一個周日開

始打嗝，日夜不停地持續(xù)了兩個星期。父母將他送到醫(yī)院，大夫花了?個星期的時間才將其治愈。短文最

后說，哈利是幸運的，因為世界記錄保持者，查利斯打嗝時間長達六十八年，并且最終也沒有查明他打嗝

的原因。

1.選B。由文中第二段"HishiccupsbeganoneSundaylunchtimeandcontinueddayandnightfortwo

weeks."?句可知Hishiccupslastedfourteendays.

2.選C。標題下的那句話對此題有很大的啟示作用。亨利是因為吃了Indianfood才開始打嗝的。

3.選D。去醫(yī)院的原因應該是不停地打嗝，其它選項提供的理由不充分，也不全面。

4.選A。亨利服藥一周后痊愈，其它方法均無效。

5.選A。可用“驚嚇”治療打嗝。文「I1提到"Myfathereventriedtogivemeashockbutthatdidn'twork

either.M

Passage54

【答案與解析】這篇短文主要介紹了在歐美國家新興的一種購物方式---電視購物。由于不出家門就能

購買自己所需的東西，還能緩解城市的交通壓力，所以這種購物方式深得一些人的喜愛。不過，一些歐美

人士并不喜歡這種購物方式，他們擔心商品的質(zhì)量是否有保證。為了確保售出商品的質(zhì)量，歐洲電視購物

公司將更加認真、努力地工作。

1.Bo"Nowtele-shoppingisstartinginEurope.n,由starting一詞顯然可知答案為B。

2.Co看了電視，然后打個電話就能購買白己所需要的東西，顯然是容易多了。故答案要選C。

3.Do答案的出處是“ManyEuropeansusuallyworryaboutthequality（質(zhì)量）ofthethingsforsaleon

TV.”一句。

4.Ao"Germanbusinessesarehopingthisnewteleshoppingwillhelpthemsellmorethings.由此

不難看出這些商人通過電子購物可能會發(fā)更大的財。

5.C。該文從美國的電子購物寫起，詳細介紹了歐洲幾個國家開展電子購物的情況。所以正確答案為Co

Passage55

【答案與解析】當今，人們的生活水平提高了，但現(xiàn)代生活帶來的污染問題卻困擾著人們：水污染影

響魚類和人類的飲水質(zhì)量；噪音污染讓人易怒；空氣污染是最為嚴重的。許多國家和政府制定了防止污染

的法律和法規(guī)，但這還遠遠不夠。更為重要的是，人人都應當參與到這場抗擊污染的戰(zhàn)役中來。

1.Co人們在一百多年前既沒有現(xiàn)代化的藥品，也沒有現(xiàn)代化的機器。所以答案是C。

2.Do本題屬表層理解題。“Oneofthebiggestispollution.”即是答案的出處。

3.B..本題同樣是表層理解題。第二段的最后一句就是答案之所在。

4.Do答案在“Factoriesmustnowcleantheirwaterbeforeitisthrownaway…”中。

5.Do綜合考慮全文及“Rulesarenotenough.Everypersonmusthelptofightpollution.”的意思，可

知答案非D莫屬。

Passage56

【答案與解析】全文共三段，第一段說的是蓋房要花很多錢，首先得確定好房子的位置：向陽，地理

環(huán)境優(yōu)美，交通購物方便而且離自己的親朋和工作地點距離都近；第二段說的是選擇優(yōu)秀的建筑工人，設(shè)

計方案，繪出草圖，做好預算以及如何處理施工時可能出現(xiàn)的變化與預算的關(guān)系：第三段講的是建筑工所

作的預算和真正施工時所發(fā)生的變更及蓋房方案與預算之間的關(guān)系。雖然全文中沒有明確的主題句，但通

過對上述三段文字的分析，不難看出它們講的都圍繞著?個主題：設(shè)計?幢房子。

1.Co本小題檢測的是對整篇短文中心思想的理解能力。A項講的是“蓋一憧房子要花很多錢”，這是

本文的第一句話，但它只講了上述三段的蓋房子要花很多錢這一項內(nèi)容，所以其概括不準確。B項是說“預

算是重要的”，同樣犯了以偏概全的毛病。D項講的是保靠建筑工”，這與短文內(nèi)容是相矛盾的，故此三者

皆否定之。

2.B.短文首段的第三句話："Yourfirststepwillbetofindarightpieceofland."（你的第一步就是選好

一塊合適的地）。此句正是該題答案的出處。

3.A.解答該小題的重點是要理解好“drawaplan”這個短語中的關(guān)鍵詞plan。plan在本短文中反復出現(xiàn)

了八次，第一次出現(xiàn)以動詞形式出現(xiàn)，其他七次都是名詞。作名詞用時其常見用法有二：計劃、方案：平

面圖，紙張。plan在與draw連用時，就表明：畫一張建筑物的平面圖。B項和C項都是把plan理解為“計

戈『'或"方案”了，而D項則理解成“把一張圖畫從屋里找出來”，這是無稽之談。由此答案非A莫屬。

4.C?本題屬細節(jié)考查題。考查的是在蓋房的施工中，最初的預算必須更正與修改的原因。短文第二

段的倒數(shù)一、二句就有相對應的部分；隨后，當他開始施工時，此預算必須更改與修正。他的預算的根據(jù)

是當時價格，而建筑材料與其他東西的價格在制定預算和開始施工這?階段很可能會有變化。A項說的是"

預算經(jīng)常被施工者算錯"，在短文中沒有依據(jù)：B項的“未來的房主認為預算太高他支付不起”在短文中也沒

有依據(jù)，D項的“在開始時預算往往是錯的”與A項的錯誤如出一轍。

5.D.本小題考查的仍是對短文個別段落和中心意思的理解能力。短文第三段集中講的就是和建房方

案之間的關(guān)系。A項只說出了建房方案對預算的依賴關(guān)系；B項只說出預算對建房方案的依賴關(guān)系，而忽

略它們相互作用的一面，因此都是片面的。而C項說的是建房方案與預算毫不相干，這與短文交代的事實

背道而馳，故予以排除。

Passage57

【答案與解析】很多人在快樂的假日里禁不住美味佳肴的誘惑，因此他們擔心在此期間自己的體重會

增加。本文片出了一系列的合理化建議，對你可能會很有幫助。

1.A.表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的"Butmanypeopleareworriedabouttheweightthatcomeswiththesedelicious

foods.”這句話是解題之關(guān)鍵。

2.Bo答案在第三段的第一句0Withproper（合適的）planning,itispossibletocontrolyourweight."中。

3.D。最后一段即是木題答案之所在。

4.A."Thismayhelpyoutokeepyoufromgettingtooexcitedbeforethedeliciousfoods.”根據(jù)本句，

可推知有些人是禁不住美食佳肴的誘惑。

5.Bo由“Ifyouhaveasweettooth,try
