B．cryingoutC．watching D．listeningto解析句意為：我聽(tīng)到了絕望的聲音。listento“聽(tīng)到”。A、B、C三項(xiàng)均沒(méi)有“聽(tīng)到”的意思。答案D2．A.struggle B．cryC．yell D．test解析struggle意為“掙扎，斗爭(zhēng)”；cry意為“哭，喊叫”；yell意為“叫喊”；test意為“測(cè)試”。由第二段第四句中“thestruggleispartoftrap”的提示可知，此處應(yīng)選用struggle。答案A3．A.bird B．flyC．insect D．worm解析bird意為“鳥(niǎo)”；fly意為“蒼蠅”；insect意為“昆蟲(chóng)”；worm意為“爬蟲(chóng)”。由第二段第五句中的“theflytotryhardenoughtosucceedin...”可知，B項(xiàng)正確。答案B4．A.experience B．directionC．force D．a(chǎn)ttempt解析experience意為“經(jīng)驗(yàn)，經(jīng)歷”；direction意為“方向”；force意為“武力”；attempt意為“嘗試”。根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境可知，蒼蠅正在嘗試穿過(guò)玻璃飛出去。答案D5．A.Thus B．SoC．Although D．However解析thus意為“因而”；so意為“所以”；although意為“雖然”；however意為“然而”。句意為：雖然蒼蠅不斷地嘗試穿過(guò)玻璃窗，然而并不奏效。前后兩句是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。答案D6．A.unusual B．likelyC．impossible D．common解析unusual“不同尋常的”；likely“可能的”；impossible“不可能的”；common“尋常的”。由常識(shí)可知，蒼蠅是不可能成功穿過(guò)玻璃飛出去的。答案C7．A.digging B．breakingC．pushing D．jumping解析dig“挖掘”；break“打破”；push“推”；jump“跳”。短語(yǔ)breakthrough意為“突破，沖破”，符合語(yǔ)境。答案B8．A.kill B．dieC．lie D．stick解析kill“殺死”；die“死”；lie“撒謊，躺”；stick“粘貼”。由常識(shí)判斷，如果蒼蠅不斷地撞擊玻璃，就會(huì)死在那里。答案B9．A.away B．farC．near D．distant解析away“距離……遠(yuǎn)”；far“遠(yuǎn)的”；near“近的”；distant“遠(yuǎn)的”。away用在名詞后，表示距離某地有多遠(yuǎn)，符合語(yǔ)境。答案A10．A.dreams B．thinksofC．misses D．longsfor解析dream“夢(mèng)想”；thinkof“考慮”；miss“懷念，錯(cuò)過(guò)”；longfor“渴望”。句意為：只需十秒鐘的飛行，這只蒼蠅就能飛到外面它所渴望的世界。答案D11．A.done B．ownedC．wasted D．planned解析do“做，完成”；own“擁有”；waste“浪費(fèi)”；plan“計(jì)劃”。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，它之前的努力都白費(fèi)了，故C項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。答案C12．A.aim B．trapC．net D．goal解析aim“目的，目標(biāo)”；trap“陷阱”；net“網(wǎng)”；goal“目的”。由第二段第四句中的“thestruggleispartofthetrap”可知，trap符合語(yǔ)境，即自我設(shè)置的陷阱。答案B13．A.easy B．necessaryC．hard D．obvious解析easy“輕松的，容易的”；necessary“必要的”；hard“艱難的”；obvious“明顯的”。句意為：突破的可能性就在那里，是那么簡(jiǎn)單。答案A14．A.attempt B．a(chǎn)nythingC．struggle D．something解析something“某事，某物”，常用于肯定句；anything“任何事物”，常用于否定句和疑問(wèn)句。在表示請(qǐng)求、建議或征求意見(jiàn)的疑問(wèn)句中常用something。答案D15．A.that B．whatC．which D．where解析that可引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，也可引導(dǎo)名詞性從句；what引導(dǎo)名詞性從句；which引導(dǎo)形容詞性從句；where可引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句和狀語(yǔ)從句。從句中不缺任何成分，且句中先行詞是idea，所以其后要用that來(lái)引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句，對(duì)idea進(jìn)行補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明。答案A16．A.sense B．differenceC．effect D．effort解析sense“感覺(jué)，意識(shí)”，常和make構(gòu)成短語(yǔ)，makesense意為“有意義”；difference“區(qū)別，不同”；effect“影響”；effort“努力”。句意為：毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，這種方法對(duì)這只蒼蠅來(lái)說(shuō)是有意義的。答案A17．A.of B．fromC．off D．to解析在solution的后面常跟to表示的不定式，是固定搭配。意為“解析法”。答案D18．A.advice B．supportC．hope D．power解析advice“建議”；support“支持，支撐”；hope“希望”；power“力量”。此處與最后一段中的“Ifyou________yourhopesfora．..”相照應(yīng)，故用hope符合語(yǔ)境。答案C19．A.risk B．getC．make D．take解析risk“冒險(xiǎn)，冒……的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)”；get“獲得”；make“制作”；take“帶走”。句意為：如果你冒險(xiǎn)把你的希望放在比以往更艱難的突破上，你就可能有扼殺成功的機(jī)會(huì)。答案A20．A.fail B．killC．a(chǎn)chieve D．fulfill解析fail“失敗”；kill“殺死”；achieve“獲得，達(dá)到”；fulfill“執(zhí)行，履行”由語(yǔ)境可知，此處應(yīng)用kill。答案BⅢ.閱讀理解FormerIrishPresidentMaryRobinsonwasjustmakingapoliteconversationwithanEthiopian(埃塞俄比亞的)teenageraboutherweddingday.The16-year-oldhadalreadybeenmarriedforayear.“Shelookedatmewiththesaddesteyesandsaid，‘Ihadtodropoutofschool，’”Robinsonsaidinatelephoneinterview.“Thatconveyedtomethereality，”saidRobinson，thefirstwomantoserveasIreland’spresidentandformerU．N.HighCommissionerforHumanRights.“Herlife，asfarassheisconcerned，hadmoreorlessended.”Robinsonsaidkeepinggirlsinschoolwasoneofthemostimportantthingspolicymakerscoulddotoaddressthecomingchallengesofanever-increasingpopulation，predictedbytheUnitedNationstoreach7billionsoon.“Europeancountriesareconcernedaboutagingpopulations，butthisismuchlessofanissuethanthehugenumberofpeoplewhichwearegoingtoseeoverthenext40yearswhenthepopulationgoesfrom7billionto9billion，”shesaid.“Almostallofthatincreasewillbeinpoordevelopingcountries，sothatwehaveaverybigchallenge.”FamilyplanningexpertsworryinparticularaboutthefuturepopulationexplosioninSub-SaharanAfrica.InMay，theUnitedNationsprojectedtheworldpopulationwouldreach9.3billionin2050and10.1billionby2100.MuchofthatgrowthwillcomefromAfrica，wherethepopulationisgrowingat2.3percentayear—morethandoubleAsia’s1percentgrowthrate.Ifthatratestaysconsistent，whichisnotcertain，Africa’spopulationwillreach3.6billionby2100fromthepresent1billion.JoelCohen，aprofessorofpopulationstudiesatRockefellerUniversityandColumbiaUniversityinNewYork，saiduniversalsecondaryeducationofferedawaytoreducepopulationinhighbirthrateregions.Inadditiontoprovidinginformationaboutbirthcontrol，asecondaryeducationteacheswomentoreducetheirownfertility，improvethehealthoftheirchildrenandallowsthemtomovefromamindsetofhavingmanychildreninthehopethatsomewillsurvivetoimprovethequalityofeachchild’slife，CohenwroteinthejournalNature.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】人口的快速增長(zhǎng)困擾著世界。有關(guān)人士指出，控制人口快速增長(zhǎng)的一種方式就是提高女性的受教育水平，進(jìn)而改變?nèi)藗冾^腦中固有的傳統(tǒng)生育觀念。1．Inthefirstparagraph，theauthorintroduceshistopicby________.A．givinganexampleB．explainingtheauthor’sopinionsC．describingthepooreducationsystemD．comingstraighttothetopic解析篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。在本段中，作者以愛(ài)爾蘭前總統(tǒng)MaryRobinson與埃塞俄比亞的一位已婚少女的交談為例引入話(huà)題，所以A項(xiàng)正確。答案A2．Whatcanwelearnfromthepassage?A．RobinsonishappyaftertalkingtotheEthiopiangirl.B．Robinsonisasuccessfulexpertinpopulationstudies.C．Robinsonisworriedaboutthepopulationgrowth.D．Robinsonencouragesfemaleeducation.解析推理判斷題。第二段引號(hào)中的內(nèi)容提到“歐洲國(guó)家擔(dān)心出現(xiàn)人口老齡化問(wèn)題，但與人口快速增長(zhǎng)相比，這算不了什么。幾乎所有的人口增長(zhǎng)都發(fā)生在發(fā)展中國(guó)家，這將是一個(gè)巨大的挑戰(zhàn)。”由此可推斷她擔(dān)心的是人口增長(zhǎng)問(wèn)題。答案C3．WhatisJoelCohen’sviewaboutsecondaryeducation?A．Itprovidesbasicknowledgeofheahh.B．Itreducesagingpopulation.C．Itmakespeoplepaymoreattentiontoeducation.D．Itcanchangepeople’sparentingideas.解析推理判斷題。由最后一段的最后一句可知，JoelCohen在《自然》雜志中寫(xiě)到中學(xué)教育可以改變?nèi)藗兊挠齼豪砟?/p>
