1、TheauthorcitestheEskimosnotsufferingfromcommoncoldsforeverto

indicate.

A^commoncoldsaremoreseverethanotherplagues

B>virusespassingfrompersontopersonarethefactorscausingcommoncolds

C^commoncoldsarefullofmyth

D^theideathatcoldleadstocolds

標準答案：B

知識點解析：細節題。題目考查的是對細節的推斷。文章第二段說到，對于感冒，

最普遍的謬論是感冒是由寒冷引起的，后面說感冒是由人與人之間傳播的病毒導致

的，<4Ifcoldcausescolds.itwouldbereasonabletoexpecttheEskimostosufferfrom

ihemforever.”可推斷，作者的意思是，如果寒冷瓦以造成感冒，那一直忍受寒冷

的愛斯基摩人一定會一直都在感冒。即用這個例子驗證寒冷不會引起感冒.感冒是

由病毒的傳播所導致。故選B。

2、Whichofthefollowingdoesnotagreewiththepassage?

A、TheEskimosdonotsufferfromcoldsallthetime.

B、Coldsarenotcausedbycold.

C^Peoplesufferfromcoldsjustbecausetheyliketostayindoors.

D^Apersonmaycatchacoldbytouchingsomeonewhoalreadyhasone.

標準答案：c

知識點.析：細節題。愛斯基摩人不會一直感冒，且感冒不是由寒冷引起的，故

A、B與文章相符。文章笫二段提到生活在北極圈與世隔絕的人們一直都不會得感

冒.直到他們與感染了感冒病毒的人接觸。故可知D與文章相符。對于C,作者

在倒數第二段中說冬天感冒人多的原因是冬天人們更愿意一起待在屋里，這樣感冒

病毒很容易在人與人之間傳播，而單純地待在屋里不會得感冒，故C錯誤。

3、Arcticexplorersmaycatchcoldswhen.

A、theyareworkingintheisolatedarcticregions

theyarewritingreportsinterriblycoldweather

C、theyarefreefromworkintheisolatedarcticregions

D、theyarecomingintotouchagainwiththeoutsideworld

標準答案：D

知識點解析：細節題。艱據第：段結尾。“Andinisolatedarcticregionsexplorers

havereportedbeingfreefromcoldsuntilcomingintocontactagainwithinfectedpeople

fromthcoutsideworldbywayofpackagesandmaildroppedfromairplanes.“可知他們

只會在與外界感染感冒的人相接觸才會被感染。故選D。

4、VolunteerstakingpartintheexperimentsintheCommonColdResearchUnit.

A、allsufferedfromcoldandwet

B、nevercaughtcolds

C^caughtcoldseasily

D、allcaughtcoldsbecauseoftheharshenvironment

標準答案：A

知識點解析：細節題。本題的考點在第四段，根據描述，這些志愿者在洗完熱水澡

后，穿上泳衣，在自己身上澆涼水，然后站在通風的房間里，還有些人穿著濕襪

子，站在雨中，以檢測他們會不會得感冒。結果證明所有人都沒有得感冒，直到他

們接觸了病毒。故B、C、D錯誤，只有A正確。

5、Thepassagemainlydiscusses.

A、theexperimentsonthecommoncold

B、thecuresaboutthecommoncold

C、whyandhowpeoplecatchcolds

D、thecontinuedspreadofcommoncolds

標準答案：C

知識點解析：本題考查對文章主旨大意的掌握。通讀文章。作者一直在談人們為什

么會得感冒和得感冒的途徑，故C正確。A只說到了實驗，不全面。B和D文章

沒有提及。

6、Scientistswhotakepartintheexperimentusesomemethodstogetresults

EXCEPT.

A、datacollection

B、medicalcheck

C、sampleobservation

D、questionnaire

標準答案：D

知識點解析：細節題。在第二段中，作者先后提到了觀察、數據采集、醫學檢查

等，而questionnaire不包括在研究范圍中，故選D。

7、Whatistrueaboutthestudy?

A、Thefindingsofthestudyhavenotbeenpublished.

B、TheexperimentwasconductedinUniversityCollegeLondon.

C、Peoplewhoworklongerhourshaveahigherriskofheartdisease.

D、Thecivilservantshaveworkedforover11years.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：細節題。在第二段中，作者說到，''thestudywaspublishedinthe

journalAnnalsofInternalMedicine”,與A相反。“theteamfromUniversityCollege

Londonlookedatmorethan7,000civilservantsworkinginWhitehall”，B中，實驗不

是在這里做的，而是來自這里的研究員做的。由“lookedatmorethan7,000civil

servantsworkinginWhitehalloveraperiodof11years”。可知是研究員觀察這些公務

員11年，而不是公務員在白宮工作了11年，D錯誤。故選C。

8、Accordingtothepassage,whatisProfessorKivimki'sviewonhisstudy?

A、Heremainsmodestabouttheresultofhisstudy.

B、Thestudywillprovidesomeusefulinformationforthemedicalfield.

C、Thestudyisperfectthatnofurtherresearchisneeded.

D、Longerworkinghoursisaheartattackcausingfactorthatnoonenoticedbefore.

標準答案：B

知識點解析:細節題。由第三段，在“Consideringthatincludingameasurementof

workinghoursinaGPinterviewissosimpleanduseful,ourresearchpresentsastrong

casethatitshouldbecomestandardpractice.”可知教授對于這個研究非常自信。故A

錯誤。C、D在文中沒有提及。由“Thisnewinfbrmationshouldhelpimprove

decisionsregardingmedicationforheartdisease,”可知這項研究可為今后心臟病的治

療提供依據,故5正確C

9、WhatisNOTtrueabouttheheartattack?

A、Thefattydepositswhichblockedcausetheheartattack.

B、Thecoronaryarteriesareblocked.

C、Oncethebloodsupplyrestored,thesectionoftheheartbeingsuppliedwillwork

again

D、Whenheartattackoccurs,thebloodcannotgothroughthevessel.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：細節題。由“theorgan'sbloodsupplyisblockedbythebuild-upof

fattydepositsinthecoronaryarteries"."Heartattacksoccurwhenacoronaryartery

bccomescomplctclyblocked；ifthebloodsupplyisnotrestored,thesectionoftheheart

beingsuppliedbythearterywilldie.”可知脂肪沉積物會堵塞血管，而心臟病發作

時，冠狀血管被完全堵住，如果血液供給不能恢復，這段血管所供給的心臟就會死

去。故A、B、D正確。而C中的邏輯和文中不同，其所說的“一旦恢復供血，這

段心臟會繼續工作”的說法文中沒有提及。

10>Thepassagemainlydiscusses.

A、howdoestheheartattacksoccur

B、theexperimentonheartdisease

C、moreandmorepeoplearesufferingfromheartattack

D、longtimeworkingincreasestheriskofheartdisease

標準答案：D

知識點解析：主旨題。文中，作者首先介紹了一個關于工作與心臟病的研究，包括

研究的背景、方法、過程和結果。而后在文章最后一段，作者介紹現在心臟病發病

的情況和心臟病發作的原理。這些研究都在證實一個事實，即：長時間的工作增加

患心臟病的風險。故A、B、C的描述都不全面。只有D,“長時間工作增加心臟病

發病率，，最全面，是文章主要討論的內容，故為本題答案。

With10,600bicyclesincirculation,Pariscityofficialsarehopingtheprogramwill

11、TherealpurposeofVelibis.

A^tohelppeoplesavemoneyandspace

B、tomakesomemoneyforthecitygovernment

C、toprovideconveniencetobothParisiansandtourists

D、toreducetrafficandpollutioninthecity

標準答案：D

知識點解析：細節題。通過第一段，<4Pariscityofficialsarehopingtheprogramwill

providepeoplewithmoreenvironmentallyfriendlytransportation.”即巴黎市政府希望

這個項目可以為人們提供更環保的交通工具。由此可知，Velib的真正目的在于減

少城市交通量和污染，故選Do另外第四段“MayorBertrandDelanoeregardsVelib

asjustapartofhisplantocartrafficandthuslowerpollutionby2020”.市長Bertrand

Delanoe認為Velib是他緩解汽車交通計劃的一部分，這樣的話，到2020年可以降

低污染。

12、Accordingtothepassage,whatisTRUEabouttheprogram?

A、Inthisprogram,peoplerentbicycles.

B、Peoplewillabandonitafter12monthsnovelty.

C^Itmerelycontributestotheenvironment.

D、Itisexclusivetolocalresidents.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：細節題。由第二段“Velibhasalreadyseenalmosthalfamillion

rentals.And.withtheadditionof10,000morebikesand700morestationsinthe

next12months,cityofficialsexpectatleast200>000regularusersbyyearend.''即

Velib已經接收到了50萬的租金，正在準備增加自行車和車站的數量，希望年底可

以有20萬的固定用戶，故A正確，B錯誤。由第四段"Velibisalsobeingpraisedas

awayofcollectingmoneyfbrthecity,forallthemoneyfromrentalsgoestothecity

govemment.”可知這個項目還對菽府財政收入也有帚助，故C錯誤。由第二段第

一句"ItseemsbothParisiansandtouristsarctakingadvantageof(heprogram.’'可知本

地人和游客都可以在項目中受益，故D錯誤。

13、WhichofthefollowingisTRUEaccordingtothepassage?

A、Therewillbe700stationsinoneyear'stime.

B、Therewillbeover20,000bikesinuseinayear.

C>Inthefirsttwoweekstherewerenearlyamillionrentals.

D、Therewillbe200,00()regularrentalseachdaybyyearend.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：細節題c第二段中說,這個項目在兩周之前開始.Velib已經收到了

50萬的租金。正在準備在未來12個月，新增10000輛自行車和700個車站，希望

年底可以有20萬的固定用戶。A中應該是新增700。B正確。C項數字錯誤。D項

是20萬的固定用戶，而不是租金。故選B。

14、Wecanknowfromthepassagethat.

A、Citiesinothercountriesalsohavesuchprograms

B、Parisianscanusethebicyclesfreeofcharge

C、Parissetsanexampletomanyothercities

D、Parisisthefirstcitytostartsuchaprogram

標準答案：A-

知識點解析：推斷題。由倒數第二段的“Parisisnotaloneinitsattempttoprofitfrom

thepowerofthebicycles.可知除了巴黎，有很多國家的城市也開始從自行車上獲

利，A正確，C、D錯誤。根據第二段中Velib收到的租金可以看出這項業務是要

收費的，故B錯誤。故選A。

15、Astothefutureoftheprogram,theauthoris.

A^critical

B、optimistic

C、uncertain

D、negative

標準答案：C

知識點解析：態度題。作者在文章的前半部分一直在介紹這個項目，但是在最后，

作者用However引起轉折，提出了自己的看法，不知道這個項目今后是否會在城

市中站穩，改造公共交通。可見作者對這個項目不是很確定。故選C。

B、tallmenthoughttheirheightistheiradvantage

C、shortmentendtonotadvertisethemselves

D^womenonlypayattentiontotheheightsinmen'sadvertisements

標準答案：B」

知識點解析：細節題。本文講了個子高的男士對女上更有吸引力。由文中第二段

“menonlyputtheirheightintheiradsiftheyaretall"，可知個子高的男士比較喜歡把

身高放在廣告里，即他們認為這是他們的優勢，故A錯誤，B正確。C的邏輯和原

文并不相符，個子矮的男士只是不喜歡把身高放進廣告里。D文中沒有提及。故選

Bo

17、WhatisthepurposeofRobinDunbar'sstudyinWroclaw?

C、losecwhethertallmenarcreallymorelikelytohavechildren.

D、Toseewhatfactorsenablementobetallertoday.

標準答案：C

知識點解析：細節題。與之有關的是第三段，Dunbar說，如果個高的男士真的更

吸引女士，那么他們應該比個矮的男士有更多的孩子。因此他設計了下面的調查。

故研究的目的是為了看個高的男士是不是更容易有孩子。故選Co

18、Dunbarmentionedhisfinding"bachelorsinWroclawwereshorterthantheir

Axshortermendon*tliketoattractwomen

B、shortermenarcoutofthesightofwomen

C、shortermendon51liketohavechildren

D、shortermenarelessattractivetowomen

標準答案：D

知識點解析：細節題。第五段的內容是，結果顯示，沒孩子的男士平均身高比有一

個或更多孩子的男士身高明顯要低。這驗證了女士喜歡個高的男士，其后Dunbar

舉了這個例子，都是為了說明個高的男士更吸引女士，反之亦然。選項中A、C沒

有提及，B過于絕對。故選D。

19^AccordingtoRobinDunbar,stheory,womenprefertallmenbecause.

A、tallnessisgenerallyassociatedwithwealth,successandhealth

B、tallermenhavebetterchancetosurvive

C^tallermenlivelongerthantheshortermen

D、tallmenhavebettergenes

標準答案：B

知識點解析：細節題。在文中的倒數第三段中提到了這個問題，"Thismightdate

backtoatimewhentallmeninhuntingsocietieswerestrongerandgenetically?better

equippedforthestruggletosurvive.”即個高的男士在以前狩獵時期更強壯.基因上

更容易存活。故選B。

20、Thebesttitleforthispassageis.

A、HeightAndAttractiveness

ComparisonBetweenTallMenAndShortMen

C、TheHigher,theBetter

D^TallMenAreWealthier

標準答案：A

知識點解析：主旨題。文章一直在介紹男士身高對于女士吸引度的研究。研究表

明，女士更喜歡個高的男士，但是也不是越高越好。故選項中，B偏離主題，文章

的目的不在于比較個高和個低的男士，D文章沒有提及，C與文章不符。故選A。

1、[Cl]

標準答案：D

知識點解析：空白處缺謂語動詞，需要一個動詞原形，而且之后要能接帶I。的不

定式結構。claimtodosth.”聲稱做某事”,符合句意。這里不是正式的“宣布”，不

能填declareo

2、[C2]

標準答案：H

知識點解析：空白處缺形容詞，作表語。belimitedto為固定搭配，表示“局限

于……

3、[C3]

標準答案：0

知識點解析：空白處的前后屬于并列結構，據此可以斷定空白處缺表示程度的副詞

修飾形容詞unfamiliar,很容易選出totallyo

4、[C4]

標準答案：G

知識點解析：空白處缺名詞，作setup”計劃，安排”的賓語。interviews“采訪”符合

要求。

5、[C5]

標準答案：M

知識點解析：空白處缺不可數名詞。regret“遺憾”最符合句意。

6、[C6]

標準答案：J

知識點解析：空白處缺復數名詞。從語法角度看，inlerviews和moments符合要

求。從語義角度看，作者在這里講述的是自己在毅然接受了寫作任務之后的經歷，

根據上文所提到的重重困難及后一句中bul之后的內容，也可以斷定此處應該填入

的是momentso

7、[C7]

標準答案：B

知識點解析：首先判定空白處需要一個形容詞來修飾名詞bookings,再根據句意，

尤其是bookings一詞，可以鎖定要填入的詞是advanced0

8、[C8]

標準答案：N

知識點解析?：空白處缺形容詞，作表語。這句話是作者在講述完自己的一段歐洲之

旅的經歷之后的感受，艱據句意，不難選出scary。此外，如果考生已經順利選出

了前兩個形容詞，那么就只剩下scary這個形容詞了，舍此其誰。

9、[C9]

標準答案：C

知識點解析：空白處需要填入的是一個可以直接用不定冠詞a修飾的單數可數名

詞，根據句子意思，很容易鎖定答案balloon。

10、[CIO]

標準答案：A

知識點解析：空白處缺一個動詞原形作謂語。根據句意“相信我能夠——奇跡“，可

以判定此處要填入的是accomplish“完成，創造”。
