environment.

A、inthat

B、asthat

C、asfor

D、inwhich

【正確答案】A

【答案解析】本題考查復合句。句意為：鄉(xiāng)村生活好過城市生活，因為它空氣新

鮮且環(huán)境無噪音。inthat是復合連接詞，只在一定的句式中使用。也可以用作

一個固定詞組。A在于，原因是，在…方面；C.關于，至于，舉例：Ilikethecountry

betterinthatitisclosertonature.我更喜歡鄉(xiāng)村，因為它更接近自然。

A、itthreatenstheexistingsocialsystems

B、itisinfluencedbysociety

4

C、ithasrootsinreligiousconflicts

D,itisdirectedagainstinstitutionsoflaw

【正確答案】B

【答案解析】本段指出了人類暴力的兩個特性，其中第二個特性是"alearned

behavior"。可以知道本題的答案應該就在本段的后面部分。接下來的第二句話即

說人類暴力的諸多表現(xiàn)形式都受社會習慣的制約:Themanyexpressionsofhuman

violencearealwaysconditionedbysocialconventionsthatgiveshapetoaggressive

behavior,將其定型為侵略性行為。

B、WhatwouldyouseeifyoutookacruisetotheCaribbeanIslands?

C^They'relikealongnecklacethatstretchesbetweenNorthandSouthAmerica.

D、ButlifeontheCaribbeanIslandsisnotalwaysparadise.

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】第一句話說的是：加勒比群島形成了一個鎖鏈，把加勒比海與大西

洋的其他部分分開。答案是C,因為它的第一個詞是“They"，該詞指"TheCaribbean

Islands"；而且在語義上也有很好的銜接。

B、taughttobemoreintelligent

C、thatintelligencewassomethingababywasbornwith

D、andbecauseofthelackofcommunicationwithhisclassmates

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】空格處需要真正的主語（代是形式主語），因此杈據(jù)語法結(jié)構判斷C

是答案。該句大意是“人們曾經(jīng)一度相信，智力是一個孩子天生所具有的，因為

我們可以根據(jù)他/她的智力水平判斷他/她在將來是否會取得成功。

第12題【單選題】

B、tomakingchipsanysmaller

C^toshrinkittothesizeofadesktopcomputerandcutthescanningtimeto30

seconds

D、ofconductingelectricity

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】這部分所說的體積的減小和所需時間的縮短恰好與前半句中提到的

冰箱大小的體積和所需數(shù)分鐘的時間形成了對比。即：目前它大約像冰箱那么大，

而且要用幾分鐘掃描一個電路，但是他們正在努力使它縮小到臺式計算機那么大,

把掃描時間縮短到30秒。

fromthesurfaceoftheearth?

A、1pound.

2pounds.

C、3pounds.

D、4pounds.

【正確答案】A

【答案解析】本題問的是一磅茶如果被帶出離地球表面4000英里的地方，重量

會是多少？4000這個數(shù)字比較關鍵，因為在本段最后一句中出現(xiàn)了這個詞，一

看該句Ifyoucouldtakeaone-poundpacketofbutter4,000milesoutfromthe

earth,itwouldweighonlyaquarterofapound.只是把名詞換了一下,很顯然答案

就是變成原來重量的四分之一，因此正確答案是A。

A、KillingPowerofAncientVolcanicEruptions

B、AccountingfortheKillingPowerofOlderEruptions

C>CalculationoftheKillingPowerofOlderEruptions

D、AMassExtinction

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】本段第一句話是說：Wignallcalculatedthe"killingefficiency"forthese

volcanoes...；Wignall計算了這些火山的“滅絕效率〃......；其中killingefficiency與

killingPower意思差不多，屬于同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換，因此選擇B或C,但是accountfor意

思是：（在數(shù)量方面）占；說明（原因等）不符合句意，因此不選擇B。

C^NotGiven

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】答案選C。問題句說"Hillary的一個競選承諾是改革國家的醫(yī)療制度?！?/p>

而本段只是說“女人做教育和醫(yī)療方面的工作有優(yōu)勢〃，沒有說Hillary的一個競選

承諾式改革國家的醫(yī)療制度，因此問題句的信息在文章中沒有被提到。
