70、greenhouse period of its climate history.”可知，“它的位置可能意味着它正在进入它的气候历史中不可控制的温室阶段”的说法只是一种推想，而不是已经进入了。句中的“could”是关键词，它表明了一种假想的情况。故答案为C项。22. D. 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话和第五段第一句话可知，答案应为D项。23. A. 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句话“Kepler 452b, which has been named Earth 2, is six billion years old.”和第三段第一句话中的“Since the planet is 1.5 bil

71、lion years older than Earth,”可以推知答案应为A项。即地球存在的时间是：（6 billion 1.5billion = 4.5 billion）年。其余各项虽然表述是正确答，但都是原文直接提到的内容，不是推断出来的。24. B. 细节理解题。根据第“3”节中的信息“or take a train to Modena to taste the worlds finest Parmigiano-Reggiano (帕马森干酪)”，可知， 答案应为B项。25. D. 代词指代题。该下划线所在句子意义为：每次你认为你已经发现了最好的臭豆腐或牛肉面，总有一家台湾美餐馆会超越它

72、（即你所发现的你认为是最好的臭豆腐或牛肉面）。故答案应为D项。26. B. 细节理解题。根据第“2”节中第二段的信息“Adobo, for instance, is a dish cooked in every household in the Philippines. Its Mexican in origin,”可知，答案应为B项。27. C. 细节理解题。根据第“4”节中第二段的信息可知，答案应为C项。28. B. 推理判断题。根据文章第三段的内容可知，从国际上来看，人们对于Walter J. Palmer射杀了狮子Cecil的做法很是愤怒。即人们认为他的做法是不可饶恕的。故正确答案应为

73、B项。29. A. 数字计算题。根据第六段中的信息“African lion populations have fallen almost 60 percent over the past thirty decades,”，可知，在刚刚过去的30年里，非洲狮的数量减少了60%，现在仅有32,000头非洲狮生活在野外，由此可以推断，三十年前生活在野外的非洲狮的数量为：32,000 / (1-0.6)= 80,000。故正确答案为A项。30. D. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段内容可知，答案应为D项。即文中没有提到非洲狮面临的威胁中没有提到非洲狮天敌数量的增加。31. A. 标题判断题。全文主要介

74、绍了美国牙医华特帕尔默(Walter Palmer)7月底在津巴布韦射杀了狮子塞西尔，当时引起了全世界的愤怒， 同时介绍了目前非洲狮的生活状况。所以，A项作为标题最佳。32. D. 推理判断题。本文一开始介绍了作者的教授提出的一个观点，但是当时作者不以为然，但是在今后自己的实际上生活中真正遇到了失败或挑战时，自己才认识到了教授的观点。下文主要通过自己的亲身经历阐述了自己的观点，即通过举例来说明。故正确答案为D想。33. A. 推理判断题。根据第四段中提到的“I was no exception. I thought of running away.”以及第五段中提到的“I felt I mad

75、e a wrong decision to move there.”可知，在伊拉克和科威特发生战争期间，因为作者的生意遭到重创，所以他曾一度很是没有了自信。所以该题答案应为A项。34. C. 词义猜测题。该下划线短语所在的句子含义是：当事情变得困难，所付出的努力带来的是失望时，那么降低自己的期望值或者削弱自己当初的目标或抱负变成诱人的做法。所以，该下划线短语的意思是“削弱”，与C项含义接近。35. B. 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是文章最后一段可知，作者写这篇文章的意图是在劝说人们面对挑战或失败时要大胆去应对，要有积极的心态。所以答案应为B项。第二节：3640 EGFDB第三部分：英语知识

76、运用第一节 完形填空【语篇导读】：这是一则令人伤感的情感故事。一位名叫Watson的部门负责人，因为其所在部门经营不善，老板要关掉该部门，同时要把他解雇。但是因为儿子在一所名校读书急需用钱，所以Watson恳求老板不要解雇他。当老板得知Watson儿子的情况后，决定让他接管另一个部门，让他永久留下来。其实，老板的儿子已经过世，但是他还不知道。或许是因为老板真心的同情心才让Watson留下来。同情心或许是人与人之间最为宝贵的情感之一。同情心让人与人之间变得更加亲密，更加温情，也更加和谐。41. A.下句中“He fired people who didnt do well without giv

77、ing them”可知，老板是一位“冷酷无情的”人。故答案为A项。此处“hard”意为“（人）冷酷的，无情的(= showing no feeling or sympathy)”。又如：Youre a hard man, Mr. Dawson. 你是个冷酷无情的人，道森先生。42. C. 结合语境，前面说老板是一个冷酷无情的人，此处表达的应是“他总是解雇那些工作没有干好的人，且不给第二次机会(chance)”.43. B. 上文提到，“刚刚过去的一年，Watson负责的部门没有赚钱”，再结合下句“Its finished.”可知，此处表达的是老板要关闭该部门，故正确答案为B项。此处“drop”

78、意为“停止，搁置”。44. A. “Im sorry, but”是一个固定句式，意为“对不起，（但是）”。并列连词but常用语表示歉意的表达后面引起分句，但常常不翻译。45. D. “for the moment”意为“眼下，目前”。句意：眼下，我需要这份工作来（挣钱）维持我儿子在Riverside School就读的费用。46. C. 根据该句中的“salary(薪水)”可知，此处强调的是Riverside School是一所需要费用很高的学校。47. D. 根据下文第57空的“Hes a track star and boxing champ and .”可知，答案应为D项。boxer“拳

79、击手，拳击运动员”。48. B. 结合上下文语境可知，当老板听说了Watson的儿子的情况以后，他静静的做了很长时间，脸上呈现出的应是“若有所思”的表情。“a faraway look”意为“若有所思的表情”。49. A. 根据第二段第一句“ this past year your department hasnt earned money.”可知，答案应为A项。50. D. 根据下文内容可知，老板让Watson留下来，让他去接管(take over)另外一个部门。51. A. “for life”是固定词组，意为“终身，终生”。句意：你可以终身（永远）留在这里。52. C. 根据上下文语境，

80、因为Watson所负责的部门在刚刚过去的一年里没有盈利，老板不但没有解雇他，还让他接管另一个部门，让他永久留下来，这不免让Watson感到“惊讶”(surprise)。53. B. 根据下句“It was Herbies last letter from Riverside School”可知，正确答案应为B项。54. B. 表达“信（报纸、文章）的内容是”，习惯上用read或say。又如：The fist sentence read, “If I should die before you receive the letter”第一句是“假如我在你收到此信以前离开人世，”。55. A. 结合

81、语境可知，此处宜选择A项。句意：我不能说这里的男孩子们比别的男孩子们对我更好。你是一个跛脚的人时，这种情形到处都一样。56. D. 根据下句“Hes a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry.”可知，答案应为D项。即这所学校的化学系是很好的。注意该句中的“department”意为“（大学的）系”。57. C. 根据“Hes a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry.”的介绍可知，Harbie认为那个男孩很是“伟大的，了不起的”(great)。58.

82、D. 结合语境和句意，此处宜选择D项。“throw sth. around”意为“把某东西到处乱扔”。“throw away”意为“扔掉；错过（机会）”,不符合语境。59. C. 句意：他是我曾经所拥有的朋友中最好的一个。“形容词最高级+名词”结构后的定语从句中常用ever加强语气。又如：This is the best story that I have ever read. 这是我所听过的最好的故事。60. B. 因为那个男孩子曾经帮助过Harbie，所以，Harbie说的是“当我长大以后，我想为那个男孩做些事情，做一些他甚至都不知道的重大事情”。注意：此处“big”意为“重要的，重大的”

83、。又如：Buying your own house is a big commitment.给自己买房子可是一件大事。make a big decision 做一个重大决定。第二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分）61. themselves 62. or 63. to spend 64. but(或while) 65. collections 66. thought 67.

105、ound may surprise you. It turns out that eating a small amount of chocolate every day is better than eating none at all! People who ate a small amount of chocolate regularly had lower blood pressure and reported feeling happier than people who didnt eat any chocolate. Eating a lot of chocolate every

106、 day resulted in increased weight gain and higher blood pressure, but it actually had a positive impact on mood. The scientists were quick to point out that the chocolate under investigation was dark chocolate, which has less fat, less sugar, and fewer calories than milk chocolate. They also said that adding chocolate to ones diet should be combined with a balanced diet and plenty of exercise. Although the researchers said that there is still a lot of work to be done in this field, the initial findings are no doubt great news for all you chocolate lovers out there!
