67、.waitB.search C.prepareD.hunt参考答案1.B根据第一段中的“The U.S.Army Corps of Engineers has collected.but there is no place to put it”可知,美国陆军工程兵团在美属维尔京群岛遇到的最大困难就是堆积成山的垃圾无处安置。2.B根据第三段中的“But people in the Virgin Islands thought it could harm their health and the health of the islands,too”可知,美属维尔京群岛的居民认为焚烧垃圾会危害岛上居

68、民的健康以及岛上的生态环境。3.D根据第四段的内容可知,政府想把植物垃圾运往美国大陆但是会给其他区域带来问题,若是全部处理为护根,又没有足够的空间,所以政府暂时没有找到一个合适的办法来处理植物垃圾。4.B根据最后一段中Munchez的话可知,他认为政府没有必要禁止焚烧植物垃圾,当务之急是赶紧处理掉岛上的垃圾,所以他认为禁止焚烧植物垃圾的做法是在浪费时间。B5.D根据第一段中的“But at mid-morning the parks elephants began crying wildly.But what?”再结合下文海啸来临的描述可知,大象在海啸来临之前表现得很反常。6.A根据第三段中的

69、“People have told stories of dogs refusing to go outside.and water buffalo escaping to higher ground before the waters rushed in”可知,作者用举例子的手法展现出动物能够提前感知自然灾害的能力。7.C根据第四段中的“Experts believe that animals may be more sensitive than humans.before a natural disaster”及斯里兰卡大象如何提前感知到海啸来临的例子可知,该段主要介绍了动物是如何预测自然

70、灾害的。8.B根据最后一段Haynes所说的话可知,Haynes认为这种通过观察动物异常行为来预测自然灾害的预警机制不可靠,因为人们很难分辨动物异常行为背后的真正缘由,所以她持怀疑态度。C1.B由上文的“I feared one thing greatly public speaking”可知,作者“讨厌(hated)” 公众演讲,因为他“从不(never)”觉得自己能做好这件事。2.B3.C“作者讨厌公众演讲”和“他身居要职不得不演讲”之间是转折关系,故用But。4.C由上文的“I became CEO of a hospital”可知,作为医院的CEO,做演讲是作者“工作(job)”中重要

71、的一部分。5.A由作者身居要职不得不演讲可知,他是医院新楼落成剪彩仪式上的“主持人(host)”。6.C同时还出现在庆典的“舞台(stage)”上“进行(handled)”各种介绍和颁奖陈词。on the stage本意为“登台演出”,此处指作者出现在庆典仪式的舞台上。7.D见上题解析。8.B由下文的“As we ate”推测,作者和妻子是与另外一对夫妇去吃“饭(dinner)”。9.D由上文作者对自己的介绍“became CEO.in this high position”以及本段对这对夫妇的介绍“both.like me in their companies”可知,这对夫妇也像作者一样身居

72、要“职(positions)”。10.C由上文作者恐惧公众演讲但不得不讲可知,他抱怨自己做了太多的“演说(speaking)”。11.B由下文作者与友人交谈之后的改变可知,Bob的话“影响(affected)”了他。12.B由上文的“presentations are a big part”可知,Bob认为作为CEO,公众演讲是工作中最“重要的(important)”一部分。13.C由下文的“I had obviously done that to get where I was”和“Communication skills”可知,已经走到CEO这个位置的作者,想要证明自己在其他领域的“技能(skills)”的那些日子已经结束,而他现在“需要(needed)”的是交流技能。14.D15.C由下文的“write and practice”可知,作者意识到他需要花时间为每一次演讲“做准备(prepare)”和练习。
