6、列結構。答案：D2解析：根據該空后作者的決定“Iwouldsurviveonanaverageof1adayforawholeyear”可知，作者意識到沒有必要把掙的錢都花掉。答案：G3解析：根據該空前的“mixingleftovervegetableintosoup”可知，作者不管什么東西都物盡其用。答案：A4解析：F項中的Britain和該空前的anation相呼應。答案：F5解析：根據該空前的“constantlyindebt，livingbeyondtheirmeans”可知，金錢統治著我們的生活，我們卻毫無知覺。答案：EBThoughThaler,abehaviorismpsycho

12、sapproach”表示作者下面要介紹Thaler的原理如何適用于與觀眾的交流溝通中，故空處為一個過渡句，而G項“這與改善交流溝通有什么關系？”符合文意，所以選G項。答案：G2解析：根據該空前的句子“Andnowthatyouvefiguredoutthemostimportantmessagetocommunicate,youshouldmakethatyourheadlineorsubjectline.”可知，把最重要的信息置于頭條，這樣觀眾第一眼就能夠注意到，所以選D項。答案：D3解析：根據該空前的句子“Answeryouraudienceskeyquestions”以及空后的句子可知，

13、空處應是問句，又根據第二個句子的特點和本段的主題“Emphasizethebenefit.”可知，應選B項。答案：B4解析：本題考查段落的主題句。本段的關鍵信息visuallymediated與C項中的visuals相照應，所以選C項。答案：C5解析：本空位于句末，空前提到與觀眾產生摩擦及其原因，故空處應講如何減少與觀眾的摩擦，F項中的theexperience指的就是前面提到的與觀眾產生摩擦。所以選F項。答案：FCAcobra(眼鏡蛇)wassetfreeonSeptember10inaparkinXiangtan,SouthChinasHunanProvince.1Andtheybegan

18、物的放生，會對當地物種以及人們的生命造成很大的威脅。文章對這一現象進行了分析，并提出了解決方法。1解析：上文提到一條眼鏡蛇被放生，下文提到人們追捕眼鏡蛇以防它傷害任何人，故空處也應表示眼鏡蛇被放生后警察的行動，所以E項“當地警察立即逮捕了這個惹麻煩者”承上啟下，符合語境。下句中的“they”指的是E項中的“Localpolice”。故選E。答案：E2解析：該句承上啟下。上句說的是人們出于慈愛之心放生被捕獲的動物；下文敘述的是去年四月在北京放生的一批動物對當地農民帶來了嚴重的經濟損失，并危及了當地居民的人身安全，上下文之間為轉折關系，所以B項“然而，他們的好心卻常常引起嚴重的后果”符合語境。答案

19、：B3解析：該部分介紹了放生的原因。Besides后介紹的是一個理由：現在人們的環保意識和生物多樣化意識增強；所以空處應該是另外一個理由，故F項“在中國，受佛教的影響，(人們認為)放生被捕獲的動物是值得尊重的行為”符合語境。答案：F4解析：上文提到人們有必要確保放生行為不能觸犯法律，不能損害公眾利益，故可推知下文應就放生眼鏡蛇這一例子對此進行進一步解釋，故C項“在公園里放生眼鏡蛇反映了這個惹是生非的人忽視了其他人的生命”符合語境。答案：C5解析：該段說的是政府對放生行為采取的措施，所以A項“放生的任何生物都必須是本地物種，這些物種對當地的生物多樣性沒有威脅”是對上文的進一步解釋，故選A。答案：
