allbegantoblendtogether.（當他與朋友和同事交談時，他意識到許多人對這種拿著手提

箱住在連鎖酒店的生活方式感到dejected。）以及下文"Andwhafsmore,hotelsaren^a

particularlycost-effectivesolutionforcompanieseither.v（更重要的是，酒店對公司來說也不

是一個特別劃算的解決方案），可知，住酒店對公司來說不劃算，因而此處指拿著手提箱住

在連鎖酒店的生活方式很多人是不喜歡的，所以劃線詞此處與"frustrated"同義，故選A。

【答案】12.B13.A14.A15.B

【解析】

【導語?】這是一篇說明文。新的研究表明，高達五分之一的亞馬遜雨林排放的二氧化碳多于

吸收的二氧化碳。文章對這種現(xiàn)象進行了詳細介紹。

[12題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩句Whiletreesaregrowing,theyabsorbCO2fromthe

atmosphere;deadtreesreleaseitagain.However;thefactisthatmillionsoftreeshavebeenlost

tologgingandfiresinrecentyears/"（當樹木生長時,它們從大氣中吸收二氧化碳；死掉的樹

又會釋放它。然而，事實是，近年來，數(shù)百萬棵樹因砍伐和火災而消失。）可知，亞馬遜雨

林不能再吸收以前那么多的二氧化碳了.故選B。

[13題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句中的"whilemostoftherainforeststillretainsitsabilityto

absorblargequantitiesofC02—especiallyinwetteryears”（盡管大多數(shù)雨林仍然保持著吸收

大量二氧化碳的能力一一尤其是在潮濕的年份）可知，LucianaGatti教授可能會贊同大多數(shù)亞

馬遜雨林在潮濕的年份吸收更多的二氧化碳的觀點。故選A。

【14題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句"whilemostoftherainforeststillretainsitsabilitytoabsorb

largequantitiesofC02—especiallyinwetteryears—oneportionoftheforest,whichis

especiallyheavilydeforested,appearstohavelostthatcapacity.”（雖然大部分雨林仍然保持著

吸收大量二氧化碳的能力一一尤其是在潮濕的年份一一但有一部分森林，尤其是被嚴重砍伐

的森林，似乎已經(jīng)失去了這種能力。）可知，這是一個令人心驚的發(fā)現(xiàn)，所以startling意為

“驚人的”。故選A。

【15題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段"UptoonefifthoftheAmazonrainforestisemittingmorecarbon

dioxide（C02）,thanitabsorbs,newresearchsuggests.”（新的研究表明，高達五分之一的亞馬

遜雨林排放的二氧化碳多于吸收的二氧化碳。）可知，文章主要是講亞馬遜雨林已經(jīng)逐漸由

二氧化碳吸收器轉化為二氧化碳排放器。故選B。

【答案】16.C17.D18.A19.F20.G

【解析】

【導語】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹了世界上最棒演講的幾點共同特征。它們包括不同凡

響的開頭、演講的對象是觀眾而非演講者和演講者要充滿自信。

【16題詳解】

根據(jù)第一段第一句"FromMartinLutherKingJr.toSteveJobs,thebestspeechesintheworld

makearealdifferencetolisteners."（從小馬丁?路德?金到史蒂夫?喬布斯，世界上最棒的演講

給聽眾帶來了真正的不同。）和第二段首句Greatspeechesalwaysbeginwithabang.（非

常棒的演講總是有不同凡響的開頭。），可知設空是本文的主題句，它起著承上啟下的作用。

所以選擇"Let'slookatthecommonfactorsofthebestspeechesintheworld."（讓:我們來看

看世界上最好的演講的幾點共同特征。）故選C。

【17題詳解】

根據(jù)上文中“Then,nomatterhowgreatthecontentofthespeechis,itdoesn'treachtheright

earsattherighttime."（然后，不管演講的內(nèi)容有多么精彩，它都不會在正確的時間傳到正

確的人的耳朵里。）,可知下文應該是一句支撐句來說明原因的?？芍O空的內(nèi)容為：這是

因為這個演講的開頭不足以令人印象深刻，故選D。

[18題詳解】

根據(jù)下文“Puttingallthepartstogethertocompletethepictureisn/tenough.Youraudience

mustbeabletorecognizethepicture.（把所有的部分放在一起來完成圖片是不夠的。你的

觀眾必須能夠識別出這幅圖片。）可知設空的內(nèi)容為：記住，你的演講就像一個迷題。正因

為你演講像一個謎題，作為演講者應該合理組織這個“謎題”各個部分，從而讓聽眾識別你

在講什么。故選A。

【19題詳解】

根據(jù)下文“Thegreatestspeakers—fromNapoleontoBarackObama—havedeliveredtheir

speecheswithgreatconfidence.M（最偉大的演講者，從拿破侖到巴拉克?奧巴馬，都非常自

信地發(fā)表了他們的演講。），可知設空部分的內(nèi)容應該講的是好的演講要應該是自信的演講。

選項E“使用自信的詞語是有史以來最偉大的演講的另一個共同特征?！?，選項中的“the

useofconfidentwords'"也與下文意思一致,故選F。

【20題詳解】

根據(jù)上文11Moreover,peoplewonztwanttolistentothosewhostumbleovertheirwords."（止匕

外，沒有人想聽那些說話結結巴巴，斷斷續(xù)續(xù)的人），可知設空內(nèi)容為；在演講停頓處，有

意識地用一些自信和有希望的詞語來填補。選項G.“有意識地用自信和有前途的單詞或短

語來填補你演講中的空白?！斑x項中的"fillthegaps”和confidentandpromisingwordsw

也與上文一致，故
