5、，如果主句用一般過去時，從句用過去完成時；在句型“It is (high/about) time that sb.did sth./should do sth.”中，從句用一般過去時或“should動詞原形”，但should不能省略。所以選B。答案：B7(2012·焦作統(tǒng)考)_him not to do so, he wouldn't have made such a serious mistake.ADid I persuade BIf I persuadeCIf I should persuade DHad I persuaded解析：句意：要是我事先說服他不那么做的話，

6、他就不會犯這么嚴重的錯誤了。題干中主句的謂語部分為wouldn't have made，說明該動作表示與過去事實相反，故條件句用had done的虛擬結(jié)構(gòu)，條件句中有had且省略if時，要將had提到主語之前。答案：D8Mr.Black is a careful and experienced engineer, so he is often _ to finish some challenging tasks.Aappreciated BapproachedCappointed Dagreed解析：句意：布萊克先生是一個仔細而又有經(jīng)驗的工程師，所以他經(jīng)常被委派完成有挑戰(zhàn)性的任務。ap

14、e last time？”I wondered.I expected him to approach me for a handout (施舍物)But he never did.A silent war broke out in my head one side was telling me to mind my own business, and the other was urging me to offer him some food.While my inner debate moved on, a well­dressed young couple walked up t

18、意到一個人盯著食物看，顯然是想要吃而沒有錢。就在作者考慮是不是要給他幫助時，有一對年輕夫婦以一種特別的、能維護那個窮人自尊的方式給他提供了一些食物。而接下來發(fā)生的事情讓作者感到非常震驚1The author entered the nearest restaurant to _.Aescape the coldness outsideBtaste the delicious coffeeCrelax as a touristDenjoy watching other people解析：細節(jié)理解題。由文章第一句話可知，因為外面很冷，他走進餐館是去取暖的。因此A項正確。答案：A2What can

20、(The old man answered gratefully.)。因此C項與原文內(nèi)容相符。答案：C3It can be inferred from the text that _.Athe young couple always wasted food in the restaurantBthe old man accepted all the food given by JackCJack was disappointed that the author didn't help himDJack gave the food to the old man though he was

22、ies, we often see the most popular teens dominate their peers on a mission. We know these stereotypes (陳規(guī)舊習) all too well and assume they are just that blown up generalizations. But movies aside, is there some underlying truth that being popular makes teens more aggressive?Published in the February

23、issue of the journal American Sociological Review, one study followed approximately 3,700 students in 8th, 9th and 10th grades for one school year and found that popular adolescents were more likely to act aggressively to climb the social hierarchy (等級制度) among their peers.This trend was apparent in

24、 both sexes.Although popular teens were more likely to act aggressively, the researchers found an exception: adolescents in the top and the bottom parts of the social hierarchy displayed the least aggression toward others.Robert Faris, a sociologist at the University of California, Davis, and coauth

25、or of the study, says this may be because teens at the bottom of the totem pole (等級) don't have the social power to pay off (成功) being aggressive，while kids at the top have no need to assert (維護) themselves.“If an adolescent at the top of the social hierarchy were to act aggressively toward his

26、or her peers, such action could signal insecurity or weakness rather than cement (鞏固) the student's position.” Faris says in a UC Davis Press Release.Simply put, the most popular kids have an easier time maintaining their statuses by being nice.In the study, aggression was defined as any activit

29、ing niceCthey needn't be aggressiveDthey are well treated by others解析：細節(jié)理解題。從文章第四段內(nèi)容可知，處于社會等級底層的孩子沒有能力通過表現(xiàn)攻擊性來獲得社會地位。答案：A7According to Faris, if a boy at the top of the social hierarchy is aggressive to others, it shows that _.Ahe is no longer popular with othersBhe is really weak insideChe can&

30、#39;t keep his positionDhe wants to show his power解析：細節(jié)理解題。從文章倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，最受歡迎的孩子如果表現(xiàn)出攻擊性，這是他們內(nèi)心沒有安全感和心虛的表現(xiàn)。答案：B8We can infer from the fifth paragraph that the most popular kids_.Atend to be more aggressiveBdon't dominate other teens in a groupChave more difficulty in maintaining their statusDdon&

31、#39;t have to be aggressive to keep their status解析：推理判斷題。從文章倒數(shù)第二段可知，最受歡迎的孩子靠展示自己好的一面就可以維持其社會地位，沒必要表現(xiàn)出攻擊性。答案：DB卷.完形填空(2012·東北三校第一次聯(lián)考)This is my third story.

45、amount of forests in the world is not declining. The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjorn Lomborg, professor of statistics at the University of Aarhus in Denmark, is an attack on the misleading claims of environmental groups, and the “bad news” culture that makes people believe everything is getting

46、worse.Now the attacks are increasingly coming from left­wing environmentalists such as Lomborg, a former member of Greenpeace. The accusation is that, although the environment is improving, green groups with profits of hundreds of millions of pounds a year are using scare tactics (謀略) to gain d

48、at is simply rubbish. Since the dawn of agriculture the world has lost about 20 per cent of its forest cover, but in recent decades the forest area's depleting has come to a stop. According to UN figures, the area of forests has remained almost steady, at about 30 per cent of total land area, si

Despite all the warnings the Amazon rainforest has only shrunk (縮小) by about 15 per cent.Nor are all our species dying out. Some campaigners claim that 50 per cent of all specie

50、s will have died out within 50 years. But other studies show only 0.08 per cent of species are dying out each year. Conservation efforts have been successful. Whales are no longer threatened and the bald eagle is off the endangered list.Environmental groups claim that many of the improvements are th

Stephen Tindale, director of Greenpeace UK, said, “There are important examples, such as acid rain and ozone, where things aren't as bad as predicted, and that's because behavior has changed.”語篇解讀：“環(huán)境一直在變壞，我們的星球末日將要來臨”，這是環(huán)保主義者們發(fā)出的警告，然而Lomborg的新書卻提

53、可知Lomborg在The Skeptical Environmentalist中的觀點(argument)是環(huán)境狀況正在改善，因此選項B正確，C項只是他觀點的一部分，不全面，故排除。答案：B2What is Lomborg's main accusation of environmentalists?AThey scared people into making donations.BThey overturned our basic assumptions about the world's environment.CThey changed their behavior toward the environment.DThey only told people bad news about the environment.解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段中的第二句話可知Lomborg指責環(huán)保主義者們利用恐嚇手段讓人們捐款。答案：A3The underlined word “depleting” in Paragraph 5 is closest in m
