1.VirtuallyallplantandanimalspeciesonEarthcanbefoundin

tropicalrainforests.

［答案］N

［解析］題干說地球上兒乎所有的植物和動(dòng)物都能在熱帶雨林中

找到。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞plantandanimalspecies定位到文章的第一自

然段，該段第二句話的意思是當(dāng)今，熱帶雨林僅僅覆蓋地球的

6%,但行星上的生物和動(dòng)物物種超過一半都能在熱帶雨林中找

到。在文章的第三個(gè)小標(biāo)題下的第一句話也可以得知答案：文章

中說大多數(shù)并沒有說全部。但是第一個(gè)題目說幾乎所有的生物和

動(dòng)物物種都能在熱帶雨林中找到，這與第一段第二句話的意思相

矛盾，所以是錯(cuò)誤的。

2.Thereisnotmuchchangeintheweatherinthetropicalrainforests

alltheyearround.

［答案］Y

［解析］題干說熱帶雨林一年之中天氣沒有多大的變化。根據(jù)題目

關(guān)鍵詞theweatherinthetropicalrainforests定位到文章的第一個(gè)

小標(biāo)題下的第三段，該段主要講熱帶雨林的氣候。該題解的關(guān)鍵

是該段的第一句中的Thissteadyclimate以及最后一句

Consequently,theweatherintheseregionsremainsfairlyconstant.。

第二題正好是該段最后一句的同義轉(zhuǎn)述。

3.Thelargestnumberofrainforestsintheworldarelocatedonthe

Africancontinent.

［答案］NG

［解析］題干說世界上大多數(shù)的雨林在非洲大陸。文章第一個(gè)小標(biāo)

題下的幾段內(nèi)容都是講了什么是熱帶雨林，以及熱帶雨林的分

布，熱帶雨林的氣候等等，但是講到熱帶雨林的分布的時(shí)候并沒

有提到熱帶雨林的大部分分布在非洲大陸，甚至整篇文章都沒有

提到非洲，因此第三題所敘述的內(nèi)容在文章中并沒有涉及。

4.Belowthecanopylevelofatropicalrainforestgrowsan

overabundanceofplants.

［答案］N

［解析］題干說在熱帶雨林的樹冠層下面生長著茂盛的植物。根據(jù)

關(guān)鍵詞canopy定位到文章的第五段。文章提到，在熱帶雨林的

頂部是茂盛的樹冠層，而下面的植物則非常稀少。因此，該題的

答案為No

5.Newtreeseedlingswillnotsurvivetoreachthecanopylevel

unless.

［答案］someoldertreesdie

［解析］題干中問在什么情況下新的樹苗才能存活下來并長到樹

冠的高度。根據(jù)Newtreeseedlings定位到文章的第二個(gè)小標(biāo)題下

面的第一段，不難得出答案。特別要注意題目中reach與文章中

的makeitto是一對(duì)替換詞，都表示“達(dá)到”的意思，這是解題

的關(guān)鍵。

6.Epiphytes,whichformmuchoftheunderstoryoftherainforest,

getalltheirwaterandnutrientsfrom.

［答案］thecanopylayer

［解析］根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞Epiphytes定位到文章第二個(gè)小標(biāo)題下的之后

一段的第四行，題目問Epiphytes從什么地方來得到水分和養(yǎng)分,

而該段的第四行正是說thecanopylayer提供了所有的它們需要

的水分和養(yǎng)分。正好與題目匹配。，所以不難得出答案。

7.Stranglersaresocalledbecausetheybyblockingthe

sunlightandcompetingforthenutrients.

［答案］killthehosttree

［解析］根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞Stranglers定位在第三個(gè)小標(biāo)題第一段的最后

兩行。題目問之所以成為扼殺者，是因?yàn)樗鼈兺ㄟ^阻止陽光照射

和與植物競(jìng)爭(zhēng)養(yǎng)分來干什么？原文中正好說出答案，目的是the

hosttreedieSo所以答案為killthehosttree.

8.Sincerainforestbacteriaandtreesdependoneachotherforlife,

therelationshiptheyformistermed.

［答案］symbiotic

［解析］題干問既然雨林的細(xì)菌利樹木相互依存才能生存，那么他

們之間的關(guān)系叫做什么呢？根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞rainforestbacteriaand

trees定位在第三個(gè)標(biāo)題下的倒數(shù)第二段,根據(jù)該段的第一句話的

大意是熱帶雨林依賴于持續(xù)產(chǎn)生營養(yǎng)成分的細(xì)菌，熱帶雨林的細(xì)

菌與樹木形成了一種密切的、共生的關(guān)系。由此可以得到該題的

答案應(yīng)該是symbiotico

9.Plantspeciesaredispersedoveralargeareawiththehelp

of.

［答案］insects

［解析］根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞Plantspecies和alargearea定位到第三個(gè)小標(biāo)

題下的第二段的最后一句。該題目問植物的物種是在什么東西的

幫助下在大區(qū)域擴(kuò)散的。而該段最后一句的大意是隨著它們的前

進(jìn)，一些昆蟲可能會(huì)撿起植物的種子，丟在比較遠(yuǎn)的地方。由此

幫助了植物的物種在更大的區(qū)域擴(kuò)散。因此不難得出答案是

insectso

10.Aswearestillignorantofmillionsofuniquelifeformsinthe

rainforest,deforestationcanbecomparedtothedestruction

of.

［答案］anunknownplanet

［解析］根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞uniquelifeformsintherainforest和

deforestation定位在文章的最后一段。題目問我們繼續(xù)忽視雨林

中的獨(dú)特的生命形式，森林濫砍濫伐就會(huì)被比作什么？從文章的

最后一段Destroyingtherainforestsiscomparabletodestroyingan

unknownplanet可以得至I」答案，應(yīng)該是anunknownplaneto

PartIVReadingComprehension(ReadinginDepth)

SectionA

47.Bysaying“itmightaswellbeginwiththewords'Onceupona

time'"(Line3,Para.1),theauthorsuggeststhattheAmericanmythis-

［答案］divorcedfromreality

［解析］本題定位的信號(hào)詞非常明顯，就是對(duì)文章第一段第二句的

精確理解。本句的大意是美國神話已經(jīng)與現(xiàn)實(shí)脫離，因而一談到

美國神話也許就先要說明已經(jīng)是很早以前的事情了。因此答案是

divorcedfromreality。如果考生寫出unrealistic也是正確的。

48.WhatistheAmericanDreamofthewell-to-dobuiltupon?

［答案］Thebowedbacksoftheworkingpoor

［解析］題目問美國富人的美國夢(mèng)是建立在什么基礎(chǔ)上的。根據(jù)關(guān)

鍵信號(hào)詞AmericanDream以及well-to-do定位在文章第一段的

最后一句。因此不難得出答案Thebowedbacksoftheworking

poor

49.SomeAmericanstrytomakethemselvesfeellessguiltyby

attributingthepovertyoftheworkingpeopleto.

［答案］lackofskill

［解析］題目問到有些美國人把工薪階層的貧困歸咎于什么原因，

以減輕自己的愧疚感。然后根據(jù)題干的定位信號(hào)詞guilty以及

attributing來定位，很容易找到文章第三段的第一句；然后我們

觀察到題目的空格處應(yīng)該填一個(gè)名詞或名詞性結(jié)構(gòu)，因此我們填

的時(shí)候應(yīng)該注意形式的轉(zhuǎn)換。

50.Welearnfromthepassagethatthedifferenceinpaybetweenthe

lowestpaidandtheaverageworkerinAmericaisthan

thatinotherindustrializedcountries.

［答案］muchgreater

［解析］題目問到與其他工業(yè)化國家相比，美國薪酬最低的工人與

一般工人在報(bào)酬上的差距是怎樣的。然后根據(jù)信號(hào)定位詞

industrializedcountries,定位到第三段倒數(shù)第二句：美國薪酬最

低的工人占全體勞動(dòng)力的10%,他們的薪酬只是一般工人的

37%,而在其他的工業(yè)化國家，這一類工人所獲得的報(bào)酬是一般

工人報(bào)酬的60%多。因此我們通過對(duì)內(nèi)容的概括可以得出答案：

muchgreater.

51.Accordingtotheauthor,howwouldanAmericanfamilywitha

carandahouseinthesuburbsprobablyfeelaboutthemselvestoday?

［答案］Poor

［解析］本題問根據(jù)作者的觀點(diǎn)，在當(dāng)今，郊區(qū)擁有汽車和房子的

家庭的感覺是什么？根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞Americanfamilywithacaranda

houseinthesuburbs和時(shí)間定位詞today,定位在文章的最后一段。

該段的第二句的大意是當(dāng)今，同樣的家庭可能感到貧困。特別注

意thesamefamily是對(duì)該段第——句familywithacarandahouse

inthesuburbs的一個(gè)同義表達(dá)替換。除此之外，還要注意時(shí)間關(guān)

鍵詞，分清在郊區(qū)擁有汽車和房子的家庭在Almost40yearsago

與today之間的差別與變化，這也是解題的關(guān)鍵之一。

53.WhatissaidaboutEuropeansocietyinthepassage?.

［定位與替換］本題詢問文中關(guān)于歐洲社會(huì)是怎樣說的。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵

詞匯Europeansociety定位于文章第一、二段中提到歐洲的句子。

第二段“Thecurrentgenerationofhome-alonerscameofageduring

Europe'sshiftfromsocialdemocracytothesharper,more

individualisticclimateofAmericanstylecapitalism.^^（當(dāng)今這一代

單身人群，是在歐洲從社會(huì)民主主義向更加強(qiáng)烈、更個(gè)人主義化

的美國式資本主義思潮轉(zhuǎn)變期間成年的）。也就是說明當(dāng)今歐洲

社會(huì)的一個(gè)狀況——向美國式資本主義靠攏。命題者用了換詞

shriftfrom...to...—?getcloseto…。所以選B）Itisgettingcloser

toAmerican-stylecapitalism它正變得更接近于美國式資本主義。

smallfamilies,是完全不同的兩個(gè)概念。這里命題者運(yùn)用了“偷換

despiteafreemarket盡管存在一個(gè)自由市場(chǎng)，它仍限制了消費(fèi)者

［定位與替換］本題詢問：根據(jù)第三段，最新的單身一族是什么樣

段的“thenewestcropofsinglesarehighearnersintheir30sand

40s”,"Butthencamealongtheideaofsingles.Theywereyoung,

beautiful,strong!”前面一句正說明了“wealthy”對(duì)應(yīng)“arehigh

這里同樣在問題中設(shè)置了換詞：newestcropof-newestgroupof.

［干擾項(xiàng)分析］A)warmandlighthearted熱情的和快樂的。第三段

提到的"whilebeingtogethersuggestedwarmthandlight.",是說

"beingtogether”(指組織家庭)就會(huì)溫暖和愉快,而不是說“the

newestgroupofsingles",與文章內(nèi)容相悖。B)oneithersideof

marriage尚未進(jìn)入婚姻或者老年喪偶。第三段提到“Onceupona

time,peoplewholivedalonetendedtobethoseoneithersideof

marriage",特別注意這里的“Onceuponatime”(從前),從前單

身的大都是eithersideofmarriage",但是問題問的是最新的

單身一族,顯然是“張冠李戴'了。C)negativeandgloomy消極的

和悲觀的。與文章內(nèi)容不符，“Livingalonewasconceivedtobe

negative-darkandcold",注意這里的時(shí)態(tài),是在說過去單身的

55.TheauthorquotesEppendorftoshowthat.

［定位與替換］本題問作者引用Eppendorf是為了表明什么。答案

A）somemodemwomenpreferalifeofindividualfreedom一些現(xiàn)

代的女性更偏愛充滿個(gè)人自由的生活。定位于文章末尾處

Eppendorf,....Justshyof50,shesaysshe'dneverhavewantedto

dowhathermotherdid-giveupacareertoraiseafamily.Instead,

"I'vealwaysdonewhatIwantedtodo:liveaself-determined

(她說她從不希望象她母親那樣放棄事業(yè)去組建家庭，“我總是

做我想做的事:過一種自主的生活”)，可見這里的“self-determined

life”就是指單身生活。她是屬于somemodemwomen中的一員。

這里命題者同樣做了換詞：Iwantedtodo—>prefer,

self-determined—individualfreedom.
