Recycling Around the World
Recycling is one of the best environmental success stories of the late 20th century.But we could do more.People must not see recycling as fashionable,but essential.
The Japanese are very good at recycling because they live in a crowded country. They do not have much space.They do not want to share their limited space with rubbish.But even so,Tokyo area alone is estimated to have three million tons of leftover rubbish at present.
In 1996, the United States recycled and composted（制成肥料）57 million tons of waste (27%of the nation's solid waste).This is 57 million tons of waste which did not go into landfills and incinerators（焚化爐）.In doing this,7,000 rubbish collection programs and recycling centers helped the authorities.
In Rockford,a city in Illinois,U.S.,its officials choose one house each week and check its garbage（廢物）.If the garbage does not contain an newspapers or aluminum（鋁）cans,then the resident of the house gets a prize of at least$1,000.
In Japan,certain cities give children weekly supplies of tissue paper and toilet paper in exchange for a weekly collection of newspapers.
In one year Britain recycles:
——1 out of every 3 newspapers.
——1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars（罐子）.
——1 out of every 4 items of clothing.
——1 out of every 3 aluminum drink cans.
In 1999,Hong Kong transported 1.3 million tons of waste to mainland China for recycling. Around 535,000 tons of waste was recycled in Hong Kong itself.
Over half the things we throw away could be recycled.That means we could recycle 10 times as much as we do now.
However,recycling needs a lot of organization and special equipment. Also,there is not much use for some recycled material.
Which of the following is NOT true of Britain?
A:It recycles 1 out of every 3 newspapers each year.
B:It recycles 1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars each year.
C:It recycles 1 out of every 4 items of clothing each year.
D:It recycles 1 out of every 3 aluminum cans each year.

本題答案：
D解析：句子意思是“下面關于日本的哪一個描述是錯誤的”。答案是A項：他們回收了所有的垃圾。這個從常識上就是不可能的，而且文中提及：But even so, Tokyo area a-lone is estimated to have three million tons of leftover rubbish at present.
句子意思是“在1996年，美國回收了多少垃圾”。答案是5 700萬噸。文中提及：In 1996, the United States recycled and composted（制成肥料）57 million tons of waste.
句子意思是“人們在哪里可以因為對垃圾回收做貢獻而獲得大獎”。答案是羅克福德。文中提及：In Rockford, a city in Illinois, US, its officials choose one house each week and check its garbage.If the garbage does not contain an newspapers or aluminum cans,then the resident of the house gets a prize of at least$1,000.
句子意思是“在日本，由孩子收集的報紙會……”文中提及：In Japan, certain cities give children weekly supplies of tissue paper and toilet paper in exchange for a weekly collection of newspapers.
句子意思是“關于英國的哪個描述是錯誤的”。這個比較容易，可以從文中的關于英國的列表中獲得。In one year Britain recycles:——1 out of every 3 newspapers.——1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars（罐子）.——1 out of every 4 items of clothing.——1 out of every 3 aluminum drink cans.注意，選項D中少了一個drink，故錯誤。

本題答案：
B解析：本題考查對上下文的理解。本空所在句中，科學家和研究應該是動賓關系，但這里又不需要一個句子的結構，而需要名詞結構作本句的主語，指“從事參與研究的科學家”。因此需要一個介詞，既能表達參與的意思，又能確保這個短語為名詞短語。只有behind符合，behind在此處意思是“在……背后，為……負責”。因此本題的正確選項應該是B。
本題考查對上下文的理解和對動詞的辮析。這句話的意思是：參與此項新研究的科學家們把臭氧層加入標準化氣候模型，以研究其如何影響風和雨的格局。本空前是to，后是how，根據上下文可以推斷，這里是用不定式表達科學家所做的事情的目的，所以正確答案是選項C investigate調查。其他選項的意思分別是：選項A inspect監視；選項B scan掃描；選項D supervise監管。
本題考查對上下文的理解和對副詞的辨析。這句話的意思是：科學家稱降雨已向南極進一步移動，對澳大利亞的影響尤為強烈。這篇文章主要是關于南極臭氧層空洞的影響，作者提到具體影響的地點就應該是強調其影響之大，所以正確答案是選項A remarkably非常地。其他選項的意思分別是：選項B preferably更可取地、更好地；選項C indispensably不可缺少地、絕對必要地；選項D plausibly似真地。
本題考查對上下文的理解和介詞短語固定搭配。這句話的意思是：科學家們尤為感興趣的是南半球急流的南移。選A的依據是第一段最后一句：科學家稱降雨已向南極進一步移動，所以第二段第一句所講的interest應該是指科學家的興趣，而此句后文證明本段講的是科學家研究的更具體的內容，即南極臭氧空洞對于南半球急流的影響。空前是介詞of，空后是名詞interest, of particular interest的意思是尤其使人感興趣的，符合上下文的需要，選項A particular特別的，是正確答案。其他選項的意思分別是：選項B special特別的，但不適用于of…interest這一短語；選項C especial特別的，但也不能和of以及interest組成固定搭配；選項D specific具體的。
本題考查對上下文的理解和形容詞短語。這句話的意思是：這些高空風是決定南北半球氣候模式的關鍵。選B的依據是本空的前面提到了風，后面提到了氣候模式，常識告訴我們風影響甚至決定氣候模式；又由于本空前是系動詞are，本空后to后面跟的是動名詞determining，而只有選項B key關鍵，能和前后詞構成符合上下文需要的短語be key to是……的關鍵。所以選項B是正確答案。其他選項與to搭配后的意思分別是：選項A be beneficial to對……有益；選項C be necessary to對……而言必要；選項D be vital to對……至關重要。而這三個形容詞后面的to都是不定式標志，其后要跟動詞原形。
本題考查對上下文的理解和介詞辮析。空后提到：the last couple of winters過去的幾個冬天，是表示時間的名詞短語。四個選項中，只有選項C能表示在……期間，所以選項C是正確答案。其他選項的意思分別是：選項A around大約（在）；選項B along沿著；選項D across橫跨。這三個選項不和時間連用，或者不強調時間跨度，不符合上下文需要。
本題考查對上下文的理解和動詞辮析。這句話的意思是：這個研究團隊發現，臭氧層空洞總體上導致了降雨隨風向南移動。文章主題是臭氧層空洞會改變氣候，而 rainfall屬于氣候范疇，由此可判斷此處具體講臭氧層空洞對降雨的影響。result in導致，符合上下文要求，所以選項A resulted是正確答案。其他選項與in搭配的動詞原形意思分別是：選項B draw in到達、變短；選項C bring in產生；選項D drop in順便拜訪。
本題考查對上下文的理解和語義邏輯。這句話的意思是：但是存在著地區差異，尤其在澳大利亞上空。上一句講整體上的（overall）情況而本句說到“有地區差異 ( regional differences)"，兩句為轉折關系，選項B But的意思是但是，所以選項B是正確答案。
本題考查對上下文的理解和動詞辮析。該句是上一句的例證，上一句說臭氧層空洞對降雨的影響有地區差異，所以此處是要表示“影響”的詞，符合的只有選項A drive change推動變化，且文章主題（臭氧層空洞會改變氣候模式）也是提示。所以選項A是正確答案。選項B attract吸引；選項C motivate激發、誘發；選項D include包括。
本題考查對上下文的理解和介詞短語辮析。這句話的意思是：他們的模型表明，由溫室氣體排放所導致的全球變暖也是改變降雨格局的一個因素。greenhouse gas emissions"溫室氣體排放”是導致global warming“全球變暖”的原因，選項A due to的意思是由于，所以A是正確答案。其他選項的意思是：選項B along with和……一道；選項C as for至于；選項D instead of而不是。
本題考查對上下文的理解。這句話的意思是：自然氣候周期也是一個很重要的因素，因為在臭氧消耗和20世紀末期全球變暖之前就發現有不同的降雨格局。選B的依據是：此處是被動句，表示“不同的降雨格局在……之前已經被‘留意到、觀察到”,，因此選項B noted符合文意。此處為過去的客觀事實，因此選項A predicted“預言、預測”不符合；選項 C occured“發生、出現、存在”語義符合，但它一般直接用主動語態；選項D descend“下降、下來”不符合題意。所以選項B是正確答案。
本題考查對上下文的理解和形容詞辮析。這句話的意思是：雖然相關國際組織已經明顯控制了有害氣體的排放量，但這些有害氣體還會在大氣中留存幾十年，因此它們的影響仍然存在。此處需修飾international organization的詞，只有選項D corresponding相應的，符合題意，表示“相應的國際組織”。所以選項D是正確答案。其他選項的意思是：選項A popular流行的；選項B controversial有爭議的；選項C distinctive獨特的。
本題考查對上下文的理解和動詞辮析。選D的依據是：本空后的so表明該句是下句的原因，下句說有害氣體的影響還存在，由此可推斷這些物質幾十年來還留存在大氣中，所以選項D endure是正確答案。其他選項的意思分別是：選項A flash閃爍；選項B fluctuate波動；選項C suffer遭受、遭殃。
本題考查對上下文的理解和名詞辮析。本句的意思是：早前，一個國際機構預測：比北極臭氧層空洞更嚴重的南極臭氧層空洞將在2045年到2060年得到修復。more than說明是比較，此處把Antarctic ozone hole與在Northern Hemisphere的同類事物作比較，南北極的臭氧空洞屬于對等物，所以選項C equivalent對等物、相等物是正確答案。其他選項的意思分別是：選項A illusion幻覺、錯覺；選項B image形象；選項D extension延長部分。
本題考查對上下文的理解和動詞辮析。選擇D的依據是：此空所填動詞的賓語是the Antarctic ozone hole“南極臭氧層空洞”，可以接此賓語的只有選項D repaired修復。選項A repeated重復；選項B reproduced繁殖、復制；選項C replaced代替。

Travel Across Africa
For six hours we shot through the barren（荒蕪的）landscape of the Karoo desert in
South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending,Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth,a beautiful leather notebook I'd bought in a market in Mozambique.
Southern Africa was full of stories and visions.We were almost drunk on sensations,the roaring（咆哮）of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
And then the other things:dogs in the streets,whole families in Soweto living in one room,a kilometre from clean water.
As we drove towards the setting sun,a quietness fell over us. The road was empty一we hadn't seen another car for hours.And as I drove,something caught my eye,something moving close enough to touch them,to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.
I shouted to Dan:“Look!”But he was in a deep sleep,his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds,then disappeared far behind us,a memory of he- roic forms in the red landscape.
When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
”Wild horses?”he said.”Why didn't you wake me up,Sophia?”
”I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds.”
”Are you sure you didn't dream it?”
”You were the one who was sleeping!”
”Typical”,he said.”The best photos are the ones we never take.”
We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
The horses didn't come near the car.

本題答案：
B解析：題干意為“丹尼爾和索非亞開車慢慢地穿越熱鬧的沙漠”。利用題干中的名詞 及名詞短語 Daniel,Sophia,busy desert作為定位線索，在第一段找到相關句：For six hours we （指Daniel和Sophia) shot through the barren (荒蕪的）landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa，該句意為“我們疾速行駛了6個小時穿越荒蕪的南非卡魯沙漠”。短文中提到的是“疾速行駛”而不是題干中的“慢慢開車”，短文中提到“荒蕪的南非卡魯沙漠”而不是題干中的“熱鬧的沙漠”，顯然題干與短文陳述信息不一致。所以答案為B。該題涉及典型陷阱：偷梁換柱（用不一致的細節信息替換短文中原有的信息）。
題干意為“索非亞在筆記本中寫下了她的經歷”。利用題干中的名詞Sophia, experiences, notebooks作為定位線索，在第一段找到相關句：Knowing our journey was ending,Daniel and I（指Sophia)just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I（指Sophia)used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth，相關句提到“為了記住我們所看見的一切和我們所做的一切，我（索非亞）用文字進行記錄，而且已經寫完了第三本筆記本，將開始寫第四本”。由此可見題干陳述的意思與短文 相關內容一致。所以答案為A。
題干意為“丹尼爾拍了些尼羅河的照片”。利用題干中的名詞及名詞短語 Daniel , photos , the Nile Rive作為定位線索，結果發現“尼羅河”一詞在短文中根本沒有出現，因此“尼羅河”是短文中沒有提及的信息。而且短文只在第一段提到丹尼爾用照相機記錄他在 非洲的所見所聞，沒有具體提到他用相機拍攝了什么，因此丹尼爾是否用相機拍攝了尼羅河的 照片是短文中未提及的信息。所以答案為C。
題干意為“丹尼爾和索非亞看到了很多精彩的東西”。利用題干中的名 詞及名詞短語Daniel, Sophia, a lot of wonderful things作為定位線索，結果發現第二段和第三段主要講述他們在非洲看到了很多精彩的東西（咆哮的維多利亞瀑布等）。因此題干陳述的意義與短文中的相關意義一致。所以答案為A。題干其實就是對短文中相關 內容的概括總結。 提示：有的題干句是一個概括句，是對短文中相關內容的概括總結。
題干意為“在駕車途中，丹尼爾和索非亞看到了野馬”。利用題干中的名詞 及名詞短語Daniel, Sophia, wild horses作為定位線索，這樣找到相關句：When Daniel wokeup an hour later I（指Sophia)told him what had happened.”Wild horses?”he said.”Why didn't you wake me up,Sophia?”，相關句提到“一個小時后當丹尼爾醒過來的時候我告訴了他所發生的事情。他說‘野馬？你為什么沒有叫醒我呢？”，這表明丹尼爾沒有看到野馬，因此題干陳述的信息與短文相關信息不一致。所以答案為B。
題干意為“那些馬沒有靠近汽車”。利用題干中的名詞horses, car作為定位 線索，這樣找到相關句：And as I drove（與car呼應）,something caught my eye, something moving close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath（與horses呼應），相關句意為 “在我開車的途中，有什么東西引起了我的注意，這個東西離我們很近，以至于我都能感受到它們（野馬）呼出的熱氣”。由此可見那些野馬曾經靠近過索非亞駕駛的汽車，因此題干陳述的意義與短文中的相關內容不一致。所以答案為B。
題干意為“索非亞喚醒了丹尼爾以便他能拍下那些野馬的照片”。在解答第五題時曾經了解到這樣的信息：一個小時后當丹尼爾醒過來的時候我（索非亞）告訴了他所發生的事情。這說明丹尼爾是自己醒過來的，而不是被索非亞叫醒的。可見題干陳述的信息與短文中的相關信息不一致。所以答案為B。

Cooking Oil Fumes Cause Tumor
The leading cause of lung cancer among women in the city was cooking oil fumes while men are more likely to develop the disease from smoking,said medical experts after a five-year research study.
Doctors announced the results yesterday with analysis on some new tendencies in lung cancer. They said patients are younger,especially women.
According to the Shanghai Tumor research Institute,more local residents die of lung cancer in the city than anything else.Following breast cancer,it has the second-highest incidence rate.
“An unhealthy lifestyle is a very important reason for lung cancer,”said Dr He Yumin from Shanghai Minshen Traditional Chinese Medicine Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Center.
He followed 2,276 lung cancer patients for five years.Among them,1,483 were male.
Smoking causes 70 percent of cases among men while only 18 percent of female patients developed cancer from smoking or inhaling second-hand smoke,according to the report.
However,more than 60 percent of women with the disease had long term,close contact with strong oil fumes from cooking and complained about irritated eyes and throat.
About 32 percent of women fried foods in boiling oil in unventilated kitchens and about 25 percent of women's bedrooms were adjacent to the kitchen.
However,local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer.
Some claimed they may change food preparation methods.
“Unless my family and I don't eat at home every day,I must stay in the kitchen to cook,”said Xu Li,a 45-year-old local woman. “I know the fumes are bad for the skin,but it is the first time I heard that it can result in lung cancer. I have already started frying less.”
Doctors said women's lung cancer had few links to personal health and physical condition,but was closely related to family cancer history,unhealthy dietary habits and weak immune systems.
Other experts agreed with him.
“Smoking is by far the biggest cause of lung cancer for men,”said Dr Tan Binyong, honorary president of the Respiratory Disease Institute at Fudan University's Medical College.“It's true that second-hand smoke and cooking fumes are the main causes among women.”
His research also warned people not to stand near of stalls selling fried foods due to the poor quality of oils used.
The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if exposed to the fume for a long time,6 experts said.
What a new tendency in lung cancer is concluded by the researchers?
A: Men are more likely to develop lung cancer than women.
B: Women are more likely to develop lung cancer than men.
C: Patients with lung cancer become older,especially males.
D: Patients with lung cancer become younger,especially females.

Music Used as a Healing Therapy
1 .Music has long been used to treat patients suffering from different problems.In 400 BC,its healing properties were documented by the ancient Greeks. More recently,in both world wars in the last century, medical workers used music therapy（療法）with people suf-fering from trauma（外傷）.Currently, it is used as a treatment for many diseases, such as cancer,and it has also been used with patients with long-term pain and learning disabilities.
2 .There is growing evidence that music can caused physical changes to the body which can im-prove our health. In the Welcome Trust study,which took place over three years at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital in London,patients were asked to listen to musical perform-ances. As a result,it was found that stress levels were significantly reduced,recovery times were improved,and fewer drugs were needed.
3. These very positive results are partly due to general well-being（良好的健康狀況）.It is already accepted that when people feel happy and have a positive approach to life,they are more likely to feel better and recover from disease quickly. Music increases this feeling of joy and adds to the recovery process.
4 .However,not all these benefits can be attributed to an increase in general well-being. Music has other effects which have not yet been understood. According to Professor Robert-son,a scientist and musician,some effects of music are mysterious and are,therefore,being investigated further. It has been suggested that the sounds and rhythms of music help stimu-late the brain and send electrical messages to the muscles.
5 .Science,however,demands facts and hard evidence. Many in the medical profession have not yet recognized the healing benefits of music,since reports have been based mainly on various stories of evidence. These new studies could provide proof to doctors that music is a suitable treatment for many conditions. One day doctors may even “prescribe”（開處方） music,but that could be a long time in the future.

A: sciences
B: mathematics
C: chemicals
D: physics
本題答案：
C解析：本題應選擇attack，因為第一句提到：人們認為鯊魚是a deadly enemy，也就是說些魚會對人類造成傷害。第二句是對deadly enemy的具體說明。其他的三個選項meet , love , visit 都不合適，love與上下文意思相反，meet和visit與上下文意思不符。所以答案為A。
空格2所在的句子由but連接，所以該句子表達的意思一定與第二句相反。第二句對置魚的評價是負面的，填入空格2的詞應該是正面的。四個選項中只有C項valua- ble符合這一條件，所以C項是答案。
第三句提到笠魚有益于waters and human beings，第五句又提到鯊魚瀕臨滅絕的危險。根據上下文的意思，threatening“威脅”到它們的應該是existence“生存”。其他的三個選項source , friends , fish都不合適，與上下文意思沒有聯系。所以答案為B。
如果置魚消失，從什么地方消失呢？ 當然從earth“地球”上消失。從space “宇宙空間”、sky“天空”中消失，或從1and“ 陸地”上消失，都有悖常理。所以答案為D。
四個選項的意思都是“因為”，但是從用法上分析，because、 since和by rea- son that之后要接句子，because of之后接名詞或名詞短語。their warm waters是名詞短語，所以要選用C項because of。
... people also swim明顯是定語從句，其先行詞是表示地點的名詞area，所以要選關系副詞where。所以答案為D。
從上下文判斷，本句的意思是：置魚將人錯認為是海洋動物。而“將……錯認為是”的英語表達是mistake...for，所以本題的答案是B項。
本段的意思是：置魚并非故意襲擊人類。人們認為，由于置魚將人錯認為是海獅等海洋動物，在饑俄時才襲擊人類。日出和日落時，正是鰲魚饑腸轆轆的時候，人們不應該出海游泳。空格8填入的詞應該與時間有關，所以times是答案，而與地點有關的選項 places , seas , oceans與上下文意思脫節。所以答案為A。
本段第一、二句提到置魚的嗅覺特別靈敏，能嗅到海水中存在的極為微量的氣味。作者舉了三個物質：血、體液和化學品。空格9要填入表示物質的名詞。四個選項中唯一表達物質的詞是chemicals“化學品”。所以C項chemicals是答案，而其他三個選項與學科有關，脫離了上下文的意思，不是本題的答案。
在第一、二句意思的基礎上，作者進一步說明，靈敏的嗅覺有助于鯊魚找到食物。所以本題的答案是D項senses，因為feelings , touches和tastes都與smells無關。
本句的中心詞是復數的sharks , another所修飾的名詞一般是單數，所以不會是答案。these和those是表特指的代詞，指代前面出現過的名詞。由于前面沒有先行詞，所以也不可能是答案。剩下的other是答案，any other sharks的說法也合乎英語的用法。所以答案為D。
從上下文判斷，醫學研究人員想要更多了解的是“身體抗病system（系統）”，不會是“身體抗病idea（思想）”、“身體杭病工作（work)”或“身體杭病circle（周期）”。所以答案為A。
本段最后一句意為：醫學研究人員研究置魚的目的是為了找到一種人類抗病的方法。所以空格13所在句子的意思應該是recover (quickly from injuries)。科學家想要探究的應該是有關受傷鯊魚recover quickly from injuries的原因，而reform“改造”' return“回歸”和rely“依靠”只是與答案recover詞形上有點相似而已，其意思與上下文的意思風馬牛不相及。所以答案為A。
從上下文判斷，置魚的存在能使oceans得益。置魚不生活在rivers、 forests 或mountains中，所以這三個選項不合適。因此答案為B。
本段的其余三句都是說明為什么置魚有益于海洋。它們吃海洋動物，結果使得海洋中的動物數量不會過多。weak、 little、 few都與上面表達的意思相反，所以只有D項 great是答案。

C解析：本題應選擇attack，因為第一句提到：人們認為鯊魚是a deadly enemy，也就是說些魚會對人類造成傷害。第二句是對deadly enemy的具體說明。其他的三個選項meet , love , visit 都不合適，love與上下文意思相反，meet和visit與上下文意思不符。所以答案為A。
空格2所在的句子由but連接，所以該句子表達的意思一定與第二句相反。第二句對置魚的評價是負面的，填入空格2的詞應該是正面的。四個選項中只有C項valua- ble符合這一條件，所以C項是答案。
第三句提到笠魚有益于waters and human beings，第五句又提到鯊魚瀕臨滅絕的危險。根據上下文的意思，threatening“威脅”到它們的應該是existence“生存”。其他的三個選項source , friends , fish都不合適，與上下文意思沒有聯系。所以答案為B。
如果置魚消失，從什么地方消失呢？ 當然從earth“地球”上消失。從space “宇宙空間”、sky“天空”中消失，或從1and“ 陸地”上消失，都有悖常理。所以答案為D。
四個選項的意思都是“因為”，但是從用法上分析，because、 since和by rea- son that之后要接句子，because of之后接名詞或名詞短語。their warm waters是名詞短語，所以要選用C項because of。
... people also swim明顯是定語從句，其先行詞是表示地點的名詞area，所以要選關系副詞where。所以答案為D。
從上下文判斷，本句的意思是：置魚將人錯認為是海洋動物。而“將……錯認為是”的英語表達是mistake...for，所以本題的答案是B項。
本段的意思是：置魚并非故意襲擊人類。人們認為，由于置魚將人錯認為是海獅等海洋動物，在饑俄時才襲擊人類。日出和日落時，正是鰲魚饑腸轆轆的時候，人們不應該出海游泳。空格8填入的詞應該與時間有關，所以times是答案，而與地點有關的選項 places , seas , oceans與上下文意思脫節。所以答案為A。

The dentist has decided to extract your bad tooth.
A:take out
B:repair
C:pull
D:dig
A:take out
B:repair
C:pull
D:dig
本題答案：
A解析：本題考查的是對動詞的認知。這句話的意思是：牙醫決定拔掉你的壞牙。 extract的意思是拔出，例如：He tried to extract his pole from the mud．他試圖用力將桿子從泥中拔出來。選項A take out取出、拔出，例如：How many teeth did the dentist take out？ 牙科醫生給患者拔了幾顆牙？選項B repair修理。選項C pull拉，但只有pull out才能表示拔出。選項D dig挖掘。extract和take out意思最接近，所以選A。

C:compute
D:consult
A:argue
B:debate
C:compute
D:consult
本題答案：
D解析：本句意思：在開始進行最后的工作匯報之前，研究團隊需要跟主管協商。argue的意思 為“爭論，辯論”;debat。的意思為“辯論，爭論，討論”;compute的意思為“計算，估算”;consult 的意思為“請教，商議”。confer的意思為“協商”，和consult的意思接近。

So Many"Earths"
The Milky Way（銀河）contains billions of Earth-sized planets that could support life.That's the finding of a new study.It draws on data that came from NASA's top planet-hunting telescope.
A mechanical failure recently put that Kepler space telescope out of service.Kepler had played a big role in creating a census of planets orbiting some 170,000 stars.Its data have been helping astronomers predict how common planets are in our galaxy.The telescope focused on hunting planets that might have conditions similar to those on Earth.
The authors of a study,published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,conclude that between 14 and 30 out of every 100 stars,with a mass and temperature similar to the Sun,may host a planet that could support life as we know it.Such a planet would have a diameter at least as large as Earth's,but no more than twice that big.The planet also would have to orbit in a star's habitable zone.That's where the surface temperature would allow any water to exist as a liquid.
The new estimate of how many planets might fit these conditions comes from studying more than 42,000 stars and identifying suitable worlds orbiting them.The scientists used those numbers to extrapolate（推算） to the rest of the stars that the telescope could not see.
The estimate is rough,the authors admit.If applied to the solar system,it would define as habitable a zone starting as close to the Sun as Venus and running to as far away as Mars.Neither planet is Earthlike (although either might have been in the distant past).Using tighter limits,the researchers estimate that between 4 and 8 out of every 100 sunlike stars could host an Earth-sized world.These are ones that would take 200 to 400 days to complete a yearly orbit.
Four out of every 100 sunlike stars doesn't sound like a big number.It would mean,however,that the Milky Way could host more than a billion Earth-sized planets with a chance for life.
The Kepler space telescope has been in service for 15 years.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

C解析：第二段第一句表明，近來的機械故障使開普勒太空望遠鏡不再為我們服務，通篇并沒有提到開普勒太空望遠鏡為我們服務了多少年，所以選擇C項。
第二段最后一句表明，開普勒太空望遠鏡主要關注與地球有相似環境的星球，所以選擇A項。
第三段第二句表明，可以讓生命存在的星球的直徑至少要和地球的直徑一樣大，但不會超過地球直徑的兩倍。由此不難推斷出其應該不比地球小，所以選擇B項。
第三段第三、四句表明，適合人類居住的星球必須與它所環繞的恒星有一個適于居住的距離，以保證星球表面的溫度能夠允許液態水的存在。地球不僅適合人類居住，而且還繞著太陽運行。由此可知，題干表述正確。
第四段第一句表明，該項新評估源于對超過4.2萬顆星球的分析，而非源于對17萬顆星球的分析，所以選擇B項。
第五段第一句表明，研究人員承認這項評估是粗糙的，即不精確的，所以選擇A項。
文章第一段指出，這次的調查結果是新的發現，但通篇文章并未提到這是對可能有生命存在的星球的首次研究。

_________(53)
A:treat
B:cut
C:find
D:smooth
本題答案：
A解析：根據上下文的意思，失去（losing）的應該是fingerprints。 fingerprints是復數形式，指代它的代詞是them。其他三個代詞都不合適。
空格所在句大意是，要用一個實例說明失去指紋是一個大問題。所以只有選項D最合適。
第二段描述了實例的細節。第一句說病人用一種藥名為卡培他濱的抗癌藥治療他的鼻咽癌。所以treat是必然的選擇。cut“切割” ,find“尋找”和smooth“弄平”都與上下文接不上。
從上下文判斷，"After three years on the...（經過三年的······）”的后面應該接“用藥”、“治療”等字眼，所以選drug是正確的。選項recovery“康復”,diet'‘節食”或diagrosis“診斷”都與后面提到的病人進入美國受阻的事件不相符。
for表示時間上“達到”,for 4 hours意為“長達四個小時”。
美國海關因為采集不到那位癌癥患者的指紋樣本，于是盤問了他四個小時。所以本句提到的swirly應該與marks搭配，意思是“旋渦狀指紋標記”。
為了防止恐怖分子和罪犯進入美國，美國海關通過電腦對入境者進行指紋采樣，然后與指紋庫進行比照。根據常理，海關要檢查每一位入境者的指紋。采樣的手指是食指。后面的screened是解題的重要線索，引導讀者選A，即printed。這里printed = finger-printed“采集指紋樣本”。其他三個選項located“找出”,cured“治療”和placed“放置”都與上下文的意思接不上。
實例中的新加坡人用了抗癌藥后的一個副作用是指紋消失，這是一種不良反應。所以，good, main, normal都不符合上下文的意思，只有side才是答案。side effect意為“副作用”。
前面句子提及的服杭癌藥是因，本段最后一句是果，連接詞應該用 Hence。 However表示轉折關系，Moreover和Furthermore表示“進一步”的關系，與上文連接不上。
本段表達的意思是：由于癌癥病人服用卡培他濱后指紋何時開始消失還－不清楚，所以主治醫生要提前為病人開具指紋可能會消失的證明單。like, decide或have都與上下文的意思不符，只有begin最合適。
參閱上一題的題解。本題四個選項詞的前三個字母都是pre，只要知道prescribe的詞義是“開處方”就會選D。
第五段的意思是：“那位新加坡游客最后終于進入了美國。我猜想他護照上的名字沒有帶有任何危險信號。但是他同樣要帶有醫師開的證明單——并且要隨身攜帶。”本題without是答案。
哪一個政府機構許可(approved)使用該類抗癌藥？就是本段第一句提到的the Food and Drug Administration。四個選項中，只有關系代詞which能指代the Food and Drug Administration，它是approved這一動作的發出者。
最后一段表達的意思是：過去該藥列出的不良反應只包括嘔吐等，沒有列出指紋消失這一副作用，現在應該補上這一條。所以，updating“更新”是答案。
最后一段最后一句中，為了強調no where而將其前移，這時，句子要用部分倒裝的形式。所以，答案是B。

Common Questions about Dreams
Does everyone dream ?
Yes. Research shows that we all dream. We have our most vivid dreams during a type of sleep called Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. During REM sleep, the brain is very active. The eyes move quickly back and forth under the lids, and the large muscles of the body are relaxed. REM sleep occurs every 90-100 minutes, three to four times a night, and it lasts longer as the night goes on. ___1___ We dream at other times during the night, too, but those dreams are less vivid.
Do people remember their dreams ?
A few people remember their dreams. However, most people forget nearly everything that happened during the night — dreams, thoughts, and the short periods of time when they were awake. ___2___ It seems that the memory of the dream is not totally lost, but for some reason it is very hard to bring it back. If you want to remember your dream，the best thing to do is to write it down as soon as you wake up.
Are dreams in color ?
Most dreams are in color. However, people may not be aware of it for two reasons ： They don’t usually remember the details of their dreams, or they don’t notice the color because it is such a natural part of our lives. ___3___
Do dreams have meaning ?
Scientists continue to debate this issue. ___4___ Some people use dreams to help them learn more about their feelings, thoughts, behavior, motives, and values. Others find that dreams can help them solve problems. It’s also true that artists, writers, and scientists often get creative ideas from dreams.
How can I learn to understand my dreams ?
The most important thing to remember is that your dreams are personal. The people, actions, and situations in your dreams reflect your experience, your thoughts, and your feelings. Some dream experts believe that there are certain types of dreams that many people have，even if they come from different cultures or time periods. Usually, however, the same dream will have different meanings for different people. For example, an elephant in a dream may mean one thing to a zookeeper and something very different to a child whose favorite toy is a stuffed elephant. ___5___ Then look for links between your dreams and what is happening in your daily life. If you think hard and you are patient, perhaps the meaning of your dreams will become clearer to you.
詞匯：
vivid /'vivid/ adj. 清晰的，生動的，逼真的
lid /lid/ n. 眼瞼（=eyelid)
motive /m utiv/ n. 動機
stuffed /st ft/ adj. 填充的，塞滿了的
注釋：
1.back and forth：來回地，反復地。
2.bring it back：回憶起它來。bring back：使回憶起來，帶回來、拿回來，使恢復。
3.Scientists continue to debate this issue. 科學家們不斷地討論這個問題。“debate”作動詞“爭 論，辯論，討論”講，既可以是不及物動詞也可以是及物動詞，作不及物動詞時常與 “about/ on/upon” 搭配。
練習：
AHowever, people who spend time thinking about their dreams believe that they are meaningful and useful.
BThe final REM period may last as long as 45 minutes.
CPeople who are very aware of color when they are awake probably notice color more often in their dreams.
DOur most powerful dreams don’t happen during deep sleep.
ETo learn to understand your dreams, think about what each part of the dream means to you or reminds you of.
FSometimes, though, people suddenly remember a dream later in the day or on another day.

DOur most powerful dreams don’t happen during deep sleep.
ETo learn to understand your dreams, think about what each part of the dream means to you or reminds you of.
FSometimes, though, people suddenly remember a dream later in the day or on another day.
本題答案：
解析：1.B文中第一部分主要介紹快速眼動睡眠期，而且前一句正好提到每晚快速眼動睡眠期的間隔時間、出現頻率及其持續時間的情況。
2.F題目所在的前一句提到大多數人會忘記晚上所發生的幾乎所有事情，而后一句中又提到人們對夢的記憶好像沒有完全丟失，由此可以推斷出中間這一句應該說的是人有時會記起自己的夢。
3.C文中第三部分提到夢是彩色的，前面主要講的是人們可能意識不到這個問題以及意識不到的原因，由此可以推斷后面應該會提到那些可以意識到這個問題的人。因此，答案為C。
4.A文中第四部分講的是夢的意義，縱觀六個選項與部分主題相關的只有選項A，而且后面主要提到人們會利用夢做些什么，這也就意味著人們會思考他們的夢而且相信夢是有意義的。
5.E由第五部分的標題就可以鎖定選項E，而且后一句講的是要尋找夢與現實的聯系，正好與選項E的意思相吻合。
關于夢的常見問題
每個人都會做夢嗎
是的。研究表明我們都會做夢。在一種叫作快速眼動（REM）的睡眠期里，我們會有最清晰生動的夢。在這種睡眠期里，大腦非常活躍，眼睛在眼瞼下面來來回回地快速移動，而且身體的大肌肉會得到放松。快速眼動睡眠期每隔90~100分鐘會出現一次，一晚會出現3~4次，而且隨著入夜漸深，每次持續的時間也會變長。最后一次快速眼動睡眠期可能會持續長達45分鐘。我們在夜晚的其他時間段也會做夢，但是那些夢沒有快速眼動睡眠期里的夢清晰生動。
人們會記得他們的夢嗎
一些人會記得他們的夢。然而，大多數人會忘記晚上所發生的幾乎所有的事——夢、思想以及他們醒著時的短暫時光。但是，有時人們會在當天晚些時候或改天突然想起他們的夢。他們對夢的記憶好像并沒有完全消失，但出于某種原因卻很難回憶起來。如果你想記住自己的夢，最好的辦法是一醒來就把它寫下來。
夢是彩色的嗎
大多數夢是彩色的。然而，人們可能不會意識到這一點。這是基于兩方面的原因：人們通常不會記住夢的細節，或者因為顏色是我們生活中的自然組成部分，所以不會注意到。那些在醒著的時候意識到顏色的人可能會更經常注意到夢的顏色。
夢有意義嗎
科學家們不停地討論這個問題。然而，那些花時間思考他們夢的人相信夢是有意義的、有用的。有些人借助夢更多地了解自己的情感、思想、行為、動機和價值觀。其他人發現夢可以幫助自己解決問題。藝術家、作家和科學家也確實經常從夢中獲得創作的靈感。
我如何學會理解自己的夢
要記得最重要的一點就是夢是個人的。夢里的人、行為以及情景都能反映你的經歷、思想以及情感。有些夢境專家認為某些類型的夢是很多人都有的，即使他們來自不同的文化或時期。然而，通常對于不同的人，同一個夢會有不同的意義。比如，做夢夢到大象對于一個動物園管理員來說意味著一回事，而對于一個最喜歡大象毛絨玩具的小孩來說就意味著截然不同的事。為了學會理解自己的夢，首先要思考一下夢的每一部分對你意味著什么或者讓你想起了什么。然后尋找夢與日常生活中所發生事情的聯系。如果你認真思考而且有耐心，或許你會更清晰地理解夢的意義。

本題答案：
A解析：come up with有“引起，產生，發明”的意思，符合上下文的意義。所以答案為B。
Protection后面跟介詞from或against，意為“起保護作用以免于……”，其他介詞均不合適。所以答案為D。
此處的謂語動詞必須使用被動語態，因為主語many of those Cases指的是“病人”, “病例”，那就應該是“被引起的”，所以答案為A。
此處需要填的副詞應該表示“已經”，完成時態的謂語已經起了提示作用。所以答案為D。
從上下文看，只有C項“威脅生命”合適。
take on表示“承擔”，符合上下文意思，其他三個選項分別為“接受，接收 (A項）”,“效仿（B項）”和“消減（D項）”。所以答案為C。
A和B均有“能夠”的意思，但用法不同：capable of(doing)sth./able to do sth.，所以答案為A。
上下文的意思是“……的血液流通問題和即將發生的心臟病”，后面這一部分為前面這個空格暗示了必須填入B項acute。
前面謂語動詞renders的意思相當于make，后面要接復合賓語，這里缺少一個賓語補足語，因此只有D是答案。
A和B分別指最大量，最小量或最高值，最低值，而選項C和選項D則指多數和少數，由于前面已有overwhelming（壓倒性的）提示，所以只能選C項majority。
take…into account是固定短語，意為“考慮，重視”。所以答案為B。
make use of是固定短語，意義為“利用”。所以答案為A。
四個選項中A和B均是“同樣地”,C位于句首對表示“否則的話”，這些與上下文所要表達的意義均不吻合，因為前面并沒有提到什么方法可以作比較，因此答案為D 項In the way“用這種方法”。
base sth.on/upon是固定短語，表示“把……建立在……基礎上”，此處用過去分詞的短語作為old Study的定語。所以答案為C。
此處空白需要填上一個能引導賓語從句的連接詞，從賓語從句的結構來看，它的句子是完整的，所以只需填that作為連接詞就可以了。所以答案為C。
