參考答案

1.A解析：本題根據第四段的主題句——即該段第一句而設的，findnewwaystoanswerquestions正是題目所要表達的意思，故本題正確。

2.makeregularpaymentstotheinsurancecompany

3.B解析：原文該句中的He指的是該段提到thecomputerscientistVernorVinge，本題應選B。注意選項A提到的數學學家提出的是intelligenceexplosion。

4.BeingshelteredfromtheworldBeingshelteredfromtheworld解析：本題空白處問“為大型機構工作經常會導故什么”。文中涉及“為大型機構工作”在第七段，提到“在大機構工作，經常與外界隔離”。因此，答案為Beingshelteredfromtheworld。

5.goodcommunication

6.A解析：原文表明HenrikChristensen很關心機器人的security和safety方面的問題，也就是說，他認為機器人應該首先對人不會構成安全上的威脅；即harmless，因此本題應選A。

7.B解析：由題眼定位到文章第五段前兩句；這段中兩個100，000相加所得正是題千里的數字200，000。但是要明確這兩個100，000所含的范圍，它們代表的只是美國和歐洲的數據，而不是全世界。題干內容與原文不一致。

8.bottled-upemotions/repressedanxietiesbottled-upemotions/repressedanxieties解析：參見“CanRageRuinYourBack?”部分第一段第一句：...believesalmostallbackpainisrootedinbottled-upfeelings．

9.theirmentalabilitiestheirmentalabilities解析：倒數第3段第3、4句：FromthemomenttheymovedintotheTorontonursinghome，theirphysicalhealthimproved．Ontheotherhand，itwasthebeginningoftheendintermsoftheirmentalabilities．空白處需要名詞性成分作with的賓語。題目中的newproblems是對原文倒數第3段第4句中thebeginningoftheend的同義改寫，with相當于原文中的intermsof，所以答案應該是intermsof的賓語theirmentalabilities。

10.A解析：原文該句中的theseproducts指的是第3段首句提到的與NASA的研究有關的商業化產品，選項A與此內容最為相近，故為本題答案。其他選項都沒有抓住commercializedproducts這個重點。

11.proudofhiscountryproudofhiscountry解析：空前的is表明，本空應填一名詞(短語)或形容詞(短語)。第三句講述作者在帕勞過馬路的一個例子。第四句提到作者對此的看法：即使是過街這樣的小事也可以表達他對他的國家的驕傲。題干中的Theexampleofcrossingthestreet是對第三句所舉例子的概括總結，shows與第四句提到的tell…about對應，故that引導的賓語從句應該與hisprideinhiscountry對應。因為that從句是主系表結構(themiddleschoolboyis…)，而文中是短語結構(hisprideinhiscountry)，故對hisprideinhiscountry進行同義轉化，即proudofhiscountry。

12.C解析：本題涉及到電視節目數量的比較。該段提到早期的電纜系統只能收到33個頻道，隨著技術的進步，當頻寬增加到550MHz時，電視頻道增加到91個，也就是說，與早期的電纜系統相比，電視頻道增加了58個，故答案為C項。

13.cashbackcashback解析：細節辨認題。此處要求填入名詞性成分作offer的并列賓語。將原文offer后的并列賓語與題干對照可知，此處應填入cashback。

14.technologiestechnologies解析：由題干關鍵詞show'screators可將答案定位至最后一段。Infutureepisodes，theshow'screatorsplantobringinawidevarietyofdifferenttechnologies…whateverismostsuitedtothecaseathand，據此，空格內可以填入technologies。

15.D解析：原文該段提到繁榮的Chinatown時，只提到了SanFrancisco和NewYork，D正是其中一個，其他選項均未提及。

16.makefriendshipsandkeepthemmakefriendshipsandkeepthem解析：文章第七段中提到西方人要想在中國建立起良好的關系，聘請顧問是一個辦法，但最好的辦法還是多交朋友，并維持與他們的友誼。

17.B

18.B解析：該段首句提到，同所有運動一樣，跑步時你也必須先熱身。第二句緊接著馬上提到，Startbywalkingatabriskpace，thengraduallybreakintoaslowjog，由此可見，熱身時速度是逐步加快的，故答案為[B]。該段最后一句提到，如果你變得氣喘吁吁而不能說話，減緩速度或步行一段時間，直到你的呼吸更加容易。由此可見，在為跑步做熱身運動時，我們不應該以上氣不接下氣的速度跑，故排除[A]；文中提到我們保持跑的時候仍然能夠與別人談話的速度，并不是說我們跑時要一直與同伴說話，故排除[C]。Stretchwhileyourmusclesarestillwarm是熱身之后的活動，[D]是對此的錯誤理解，故排除。

19.332billionbarrels332billionbarrels解析：根據ControlofOilResources這一部分可知，伊拉克原來的石油儲量是112billionbarrels，而美國能源信息部估計在伊拉克西部的沙漠中還有220billionbarrels的儲量。因此，如果估計是正確的話，伊拉克的石油總儲量應該是332billionbarrels，居世界第一。

20.YY解析：根據題干中的信息詞highschoolseniors和engineering定位到第一個小標題下的倒數第二段下的第二點，可知只有不到6%的美國高三學生打算攻讀工程學學位，即在大學以工程學為專業，這個比例顯然很小，故該句表述正確。

21.inspires

22.A解析：綜合理解題。男士說已經三天沒有熱水了，他不喜歡冷水澡。女士建議他去體育館解決這個問題。fixtheproblem“解決問題”，所以這里指去體育館解決洗熱水澡的問題。

23.C解析：信息明示題。男士說長途公司可以讓人們給外國、美國其他州和所在州的其他城市打電話，而當地長途公司可以讓人們給郊區或所在城市的周邊地區打電話，由此可知，長途公司無法讓人們給所在城市的周邊地區打電話，故選C。

24.A

25.A解析：信息明示題。由文章第三段可知，衣服是用于調節(regulate)人體熱度的，住在溫帶的人比住在熱帶的人要穿得多，同樣地，服裝要隨季節的變化而改變，所以A正確。

26.C解析：第一個人說：你為什么給我一張超速罰款單?我的行駛速度是40英里每小時。第二個人說：你難道沒有看到附近的告示嗎?時速限制是10英里每小時。所問問題是：兩個說話人之間是什么關系?本段對話的關鍵詞是：speedingticket，40milesperhour，notice，10mphlimits。它們能讓我們聯想到交通警察和司機之間的對話。故本題的正確答案是C。

27.employed

28.C解析：W:Hi,Peter.IwassurprisedtoseeyouintheclassinChildren'sLiteratureyesterday.Areyoualsomajoringinelementaryeducation?

M:No,I'mnot.Butasapsychologymajor,Icanusethistofulfilltherequirementindevelopmentalpsychology.

Q:Whatdoyoulearnfromtheconversation?

信息明示題。由女士的問話Areyoualsomajoringinelementaryeducation，特別是其中的also可知，女士的專業是基礎教育．所以C正確。major作動詞時意為“主修”，常與介詞in搭配，后接表科目的名詞；作名同時意為“主修課”；作形容詞時意為“主修的；主要的”。

29.D解析：語意理解題。問題問Nancy對有關科學方面課程的感受如何。事實上，這道題和上一題關系緊密，由上題內容，可判斷答案選D。

30.B解析：綜合推斷題，由男士的話可知，教授不同意他們晚幾天再交作業，所以B正確。注意對話中的turnadeafearto意為“對……置之不理”。
