1、[Cl]

標準答案：D

知識點解析：空格是句子表語的一部分，在最高級標記most之后，應為形容詞。

根據句意“窮人通常最……其影響”,vulnerable“脆弱的；易受攻擊的”符合語義。

2、[C2]

標準答案：G

知識點解析：此處需填入副詞，修飾動名詞responding。轉折詞insteadof表明此

處講救災人員不應該做的事，根據句意“救援人員和決策者應采取行動預防此類罕

見的災難性事件，而不能到了危急關頭才……應對"，simply符合句意。

3、[C3]

標準答案：M

知識點解析：rare和…disastrous并列修飾名詞events,此處需要副詞修飾

disastrouso副詞potentially”潛在地；可能地”符合句意，與anticipate“預測”在語義

上呼應，potentiallydisastrousevents意為“可能造成災難的事件”。

4、[C4]

標準答案：B

知識點解析：空格應填入名詞，作謂語動詞hasgained的賓語。結合上一段提到的

內容（要預防災難性事件的發生）可以推斷，2008年世界遭受各種主要危機后，risk

management（危機處理）顯得越來越重要，故此處選用prominenceo

5、[C5]

標準答案：I

知識點解析：空格為名詞shocks的定語，可為名詞、形容詞或分詞。句中提到，

各類沖擊，尤其是健康、氣候的沖擊和經濟危機，使窮人處于貧困線以下。可見這

些沖擊是“不利的，有害的“，故選adverse。

6、[C6]

標準答案：K

知識點解析：此處需填入動詞原形，構成help（lo）dosth.。根據下文所舉例子（孟

加拉兩次臺風造成的傷亡）可知，超前干預可以減少未來遭受的損失，offscTft

消‘補償''符合句意。

7、[C7]

標準答案：O

知識點解析：此處需填入與strength并列的名詞。本段對比了1970年和2007年臺

風造成的傷亡人數。而只有在某些方面類似的東西，才具有可比性。

characteristics“特點”符合句子語義。

8、[C8]

標準答案：A

知識點解析：空格前的asystemofwarning…提示空格處可能是動名詞，與these

events構成動賓搭配。本段首句提到要進行超前干預，故填入空格的詞應與

warning“預警”相關，forecasting符合上下語義。

9、[C9]

標準答案：J

知識點解析：空格應填入動詞，構成搭配belikelytodo,且可與介詞in搭配。本

段首句提到“危機管理還要幫助人們進步”，由此可知，得到保險補償的加納和印度

的農民更可能將錢“投入”到農業上，而不是留著錢預防可能出現的災害。invest”投

資”符合上下語義。

10、[C10]

標準答案：H

知識點解析：could提示空格應為動詞原形。本句大意是：如果不提前做好準備，

以前的大部分發展成果可能付諸東流。句子使用條件句，主句部分講的是某種可能

性，risk”冒……的危險”符合語義。

21、WhatmakesbuyinggiftsforChristmasbecomeachore?

A、Thepressureoftheholiday.

Thelackoftimelorshopping.

C^Theincreasingvarietyofgifts.

D、Thecommercializationoftheholiday.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：首段末句中的dyingdays和lastminute都表明是時間上的因素使圣誕

節的購物變成苦差事，因此本題應選Bu

22、Whenbuyinggiftsinthelastminute,peopletendtobeconcernedabout.

A、choosingindividualgiftsfbrtherecipients

BNwhatisthemoresuitablegiftforaholiday

C、gettingagiftfbreveryone

D、towhomtheysendthegift

標準答案：C'

知識點解析：第2段第2句中的detachedfrom…表明在最后一刻才急匆匆地趕去買

禮物時，人們不考慮禮物的目的，不考慮送禮的對象，當然也就不會考慮禮物是否

合適，也就是說，人們只是為了買禮物而買禮物，只想給每個人送禮，由此可見，

本題應選C。

23、Aperfectgiftdiffersfromothergiftsintheir.

A、usefulness

B>meaningfulness

C^exquisiteness

D^artistry

標準答案：B

知識點解析：第4段第2句中的message一詞表明完美禮物注重的是禮物表達的信

息，即其含義，因此本題應選B。

24、The"gesture"(Line3,Para.5)mostprobablyrefersto.

A、givingthegifttotherecipient

B、choosingagiftwithselflesseffort

C、wrappingthegiftbeforesendingit

D、showingyourconcerntotherecipient

標準答案：A

知識點解析：本題解題的關鍵在于理解末段第2句中的第2個分句。在這個分句

中，ihepleasure是主語，willradiate…是謂語，pleasure后that引出的是修飾

pleasure的定語從句，這樣就不難看出gesture是指該分句開頭的giving,由此可

見，本題應選A。

25Inthispassage,theauthorismostlikelytopointout.

A、thebestwayofchoosingandgivingtherightgifts

B、theimportanceofthoughtfulnessinchoosingagift

C、thatone'slovefbrotherscanbestbedemonstratedbygifts

D、thatofferingagiftbenefitsboththegiverandthereceiver

標準答案：D

知識點解析：本文在首段首句、第2段首句、第3段末句，以及末段第2句不斷強

調“贈送禮物時對贈送者和接受者而言都是一種快樂”這個主題，由此可見，本題應

選Do

26、Theauthorismostprobablya.

A、hunter

B、biologist

C^journalist

D、traveler

標準答案：B

知識點解析：文章第1段中作者指出用望遠鏡來觀察狼群，而從文章可以看出作者

對狼的生活習性很了解，在倒數第2段作者還敢盯著狼想要把它嚇退，從這些信息

都可以推斷作者很可能是一個生物學家，具有較多的專業知識，因此本題選B。

27、Whydidthewolvesignoretheauthor'spresence?

A、Becausehistentwasoutofthewolves5estateboundaries.

B、Becausetheauthorhasjustarrivedatthespot.

C>Becausethewolvesv/eretoobusytonoticehim.

D、Becausethewolveswereafraidofstrangers.

標準答案：A

知識之解析：在第2段狼群對作者的存在并不在意，但到了第4段末句，狼盯著作

者的帳篷，這其中的變化就在于第3段描寫的作者在狼群的領土范圍內留下了自己

的記號，由此可推斷，在此之前狼群之所以忽視他的存在就是因為他不在狼群的領

土范圍之內，即選項A為本題答案。

28、WhichofthefollowingisTRUEaboutthewolvesaccordingtothepassage?

A^Thewolvesdonotstartattackinghumansunlessirritatedbyhumans.

B、Thewolvesgohuntingatnightandgobacktothedensatdawn.

C、Thewolvesdonotrelyontheirsighttorecognizeboundaries.

D、Thewolvesmarktheirfamilyboundariesbymeansofwater.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：第4段首句和末段末句中的sniff一話都表明狼主要以嗅的方法確認

領地，因此選項C是正確的說法。

29、Thephrase"breaktheimpasseM(Line2,Para.5)isclosesttothemeaningof

A^avoidbeingattacked

B、breaktheice

C、triggerhostility

D、defeattheenemy

標準答案：B'

知識點解析：從倒數第2段第2句中的intolerable一詞可以知道作者和狼當時處在

一個僵持的局面，作者對此已經覺得難以忍受，因此主動先采取行動，且的是為了

試探狼的舉動，由此可見，選項B是最貼切的理解。

30、Whichofthefollowingbestexplainsthereasonwhytheauthorstakesoutanareaof

hisown?

A、Hethoughtitbettertobestaredatthantobeignored.

B、Hedidn'twantthewolvestousethetrackpasthistent.

C、Hewantedthewolvestotakenoticeofhisexistence.

D、Hewantedtofindouthowfiercethewolfsglarewas.

標準答案：C

知識之解析：從第3段第2句開始，作者描述了如何劃定自己的領土，所有這些描

述都是圍繞該段首句展開的，選項C就是本題答案。
