(2)聽眾；

(3)報告的時間、地點；

(4)這個報告對中學教師的重要性。

參考答案

1.C解析：第一段及全文都說明本文的中心內(nèi)容是教孩子如何應對緊急情況。

2.A見第二段第二句。

3.A

4.C

5.C解析：這篇文章既不是新聞，也不是通知，更不是學術論文，而是工作招聘廣告。

6.B解析：第五段。Landau說，總統(tǒng)養(yǎng)狗會使總統(tǒng)更顯人性化，使總統(tǒng)的形象更完美，也很容易把人們與總統(tǒng)聯(lián)系起來。

7.C解析：第三、四段。作者用事實說明水的沸騰。如，水的顏色和氣味等。選項C是正確的。

8.B解析：參見最后一段。

9.D解析：本題為細節(jié)判斷題。在第二段中作者指出：“Sofar，nodangerousamountsofradiationhavebeenreported…”據(jù)此，我們可知輻射對阿波羅飛船船員的危害至今還不得而知。

10.D解析：這篇文章講的是MarkTwain的故事，他是美國著名的作家。參見第一句。

11.C解析：參見句子：Happinessisastrangething.Itdoesnotmeanthesametoallmen.

12.B解析：本題為細節(jié)辨認題。第三段第四句講到“Thesteelwiresusedaregalvanized—coatedwithzinc(鋅)tomakethemrustproof”，也就是說，用來制鐵絲網(wǎng)的鋼絲經(jīng)過鍍鋅后以防生銹。

13.C解析：文章最后五行，指明許多雨傘被送到這位失主門前，雖然有些雨傘上附有留言，但都沒有、也不會有任何姓名。

14.C作者列舉了幾個有關視力的錯誤的說法。C項是正確的。

15.B41．答案為B

根據(jù)第一段最后一句可知該陳述是錯誤的，修剪只是在有必要的時候才進行。

16.C解析：第一段。參見原文。

17.D

18.D解析：參見第一段。

19.B解析：最后一段。人們希望這個機構能夠起作用。選項B是正確的。

20.A解析：參見原文第二段。

21.D“splitup”一詞出現(xiàn)在文中第二段第三句，根據(jù)該短語所在句，我們可以得知，“splitup”與其后的“meetagain”意思相反。

22.B

23.D解析：通篇講的是加利福尼亞教養(yǎng)所的虐囚狀況。

24.C

25.C解析：見原文第四段。Wallerstein作了有關離婚對孩子影響的調(diào)查，發(fā)現(xiàn)父母離婚的孩子成人之后的婚姻失敗率是普通的兩倍。

26.D33．答案為D

從句中Russiancities，suchas...可知這兩個詞是為城市舉例。

27.A解析：細節(jié)辨認題。由第一段"Itisestimatedthatsomesevenhundredmillionpeopleabouthalftheworld'sadultpopulation-areunabletoreadorwrite"和第三段"InEuropethefigureisabouttwenty-fourmillion,mostofwhomareinSouthernEurope.Britainhasaboutsevenhundredthousand'兩處內(nèi)容可以算出答案為A。

28.A通過上下文可知。

29.A解析：根據(jù)做題公式：繞過例子看概述?？茖W家這么做的目的，已經(jīng)由第三段第一句“Anumberofgroupsaretryingtomeasurelightpollutionandassessitseffectontheenvironmentinthehopethatpeoplewillreducetheirowncontributiontotheproblem.”表明了。根據(jù)assessitseffect可以判斷正確答案為A項，effect和impact是同義詞。

30.B解析：由第二段“ThisnewsystemplacedthedaythathadformerlybeenthefirstdayofanewyearonApril1.ManypeoplewerereluctanttoadjusttothenewcalendarandcontinuedtocelebrateNewYear'sDayonwhathadbecomethefirstdayofApril.Thus,theybecamethefirstAprilFools.”可知B為正確答案。

31.B解析：詞組搭配題。produce意為“產(chǎn)出，生產(chǎn)”；give意為“給”；make意為“制造”；send意為“送，送出”。根據(jù)句意，他們根據(jù)自己的生活經(jīng)驗給那些在生活中遇到問題的人提出建議。

32.A26．前一句說了雞蛋是完美的食物，所以它在營養(yǎng)方面肯定是豐富的，不會是缺失的。選項A是正確的。

33.A解析：見上一條。

34.D根據(jù)下一句話中“我會做得很差”可知在這種實踐性較強的考試中我會顯得像傻瓜一樣．故應選D項。

35.A根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知，修車工早就預料到“我”會誤人歧途，因此應選A項。

36.D

37.C介詞后面必須跟名詞性短語。所以，of后只能跟doing。beinglate也是一個常用短語。有了手機反倒不怕遲到了。

38.C解析：兩方面決定一個人的智力。一方面是他與生俱來的大腦。

39.B

40.A從下文“不希望被打擾”推出應當是“關掉手機”。turnoff意為“關掉”；turnon意為“打開”；setoff意為“出發(fā)”；seton意為“著手做”。

41.C由下文觀點排除A、B兩項，由最后一段知作者是欣賞警察行事的態(tài)度與精神，而不是羨慕。

42.D答案為D。當兩個相同的動作做比較時，為了避免重復，常用助動詞代替前面出現(xiàn)的動詞。

43.A解析：這個自然段說的是美國內(nèi)戰(zhàn)時期的失聰學校有很多困難，that應該指的是那個時期。

44.A

45.B解析：這化石層的年代屬于恐龍、稀奇古怪的爬行動物等的時期。這里提到了三疊紀，侏羅紀和白堊紀時期的動物，以及早期的哺乳動物及其他的生命形式。

46.A

47.A在這個世界上，沒有人能如此美麗。

48.C解析：在這場比賽中，ColinJackson奪得世錦賽金牌。

49.D

50.B根據(jù)上下文，可以判斷此處應選read?！璽hestoryyoureadtogether的意思：你們一起讀的故事中的(事情和人物)。A項“改變”；C項“記錄”；D項“告訴”，雖然可以與story連用，但均不符合本文的意思，故選B。

51.D畫線部分讀[d]，其他選項的畫線部分不發(fā)音。

52.C

53.B解析：選項B畫線字母讀[kcg]，其他選項畫線字母讀[ken]。

54.D解析：畫線部分讀[c]，其他選項的畫線部分讀[/\]。

55.A

56.BA、C、D三項劃線部分發(fā)[u：]，而B項劃線部分發(fā)[A]，因此選B項。

57.B

58.C解析：畫線部分讀[t]，其他選項的畫線部分讀[d]。

59.Dsaid中字母組合ai讀作[e]，是特殊用法，其他選項中的字母組合ai都讀作[ei]。

60.D解析：畫線部分讀[eu]，其他選項的畫線部分讀[u:]。

61.C解析：“快于”用sooner．．．than。

62.B

63.A解析：onthespot表示“當場”。

64.D解析：too...to為固定搭配。此句意為“他太有君子風度了不想打架?！?/p>

65.A解析：表示時間、距離、重量、價值等的復數(shù)名詞做主語時，如果當作整體看待，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。

66.D解析：因為call與programme存在動賓關系，所以可以排除B、C兩項；beingcalled表示正在進行，也不合題意。過去分詞詞組calledKim'llfixit作定語修飾programme。

67.A解析：sothat引導狀語從句，表示“以便”。

68.A解析：此題考查復合句。why引導的是表示原因的從句。句意為“老虎和熊非常危險。這就是它們?yōu)槭裁吹么诨\子里的原因”。

69.A12．考查倒裝句。So引導的短語前置，主謂倒裝。排除選項B和c。根據(jù)從句判斷應是過去時，排除選項D。選項A是正確的。

70.C

71.C表示零下的溫度用介詞below。參觀莫斯科是件好事，但溫度太低了：零下25度。

72.B解析：until到……為止。我就等到5點，多一分鐘也不等。

73.D解析：本題測試情態(tài)動詞用法。ought．tohavedone意為“本應該做……”。本句大意為：我們本應上星期就收到她的信，不知道她出了什么事。

74.Ex-president

75.C解析：at后整句作賓語，即作賓語從句。在賓語從句中was前缺主語，故用what。

76.B解析：neither引導的省略句需倒裝，倒裝句在時態(tài)上應與前面句子保持一致。

77.shortage

78.C

79.A解析：if在這里引導的是條件狀語從句，其中省略了itis。故答案為A。

80.A解析：名詞不加冠詞、不用復數(shù)形式時表抽象概念；leavecollege畢業(yè)，leavea/thecollege離開一所/那所大學；一家報社不止一名記者，所以用asareporter。
