33、以这两个剧院都的共同特点是在坦帕湾地区很有名。故选C项。23Where can you learn something about animals？ B AAt the YMCA.BAt Lowry Park.CAt Salt Block Catering.DAt the Hillsborough County Library.解析：细节理解题。根据最后一部分中的“Rotating(循环的) daily activities include live animals and animal education by Zoo Tampa at Lowry Park.”可知，每天的活动包括关于坦帕动

35、ople who order large portions(份), its the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly(表面上)participate

36、in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her we

37、ight to 180 pounds.Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin.For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of

38、 candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when were making dec

39、isions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “Ill have what shes having” effect. However, well adjust the influence . If an overweight person is having a large portion, Ill hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a

40、lot, Ill follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why cant I?文章大意：本文是说明文。最近的研究表明：我们的饮食伙伴的大小和消费习惯都会影响我们的食物摄入量。文章详述了这个实验的过程。24What is the recent study mainly about？ D AFood safety.BMovie viewership.CConsumer demand.DEating behavior.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“According to a recent study in the Journal of C

41、onsumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake”可知，根据消费者研究杂志最近的一项研究，我们的饮食伙伴的大小和消费习惯都会影响我们的食物摄入量。因此这项研究是关于饮食行为的。故选D。25What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in paragraph 1 refer to？ D ABig eaters.BOverweight persons.CPicky eaters.DTall

42、thin persons.解析：词义猜测题。根据前半句“And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份)”可知，现有的研究认为：你应该避免和体重较重、点大份饭菜的人一起吃饭。后半句认为，你真正应该避免的是the beanpoles with big appetites。由contrary to可推断出，画线词和heavier people(超重的人)相反，结合选项，D选项(瘦瘦高高的人)正好和heavier peo

43、ple正好相反。故选D。26Why did the researchers hire the actor？ A ATo see how she would affect the participants.BTo test if the participants could recognize her.CTo find out what she would do in the two tests.DTo study why she could keep her weight down.解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的“To test the effect of social influence o

44、n eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments”可知， 为了测试社会影响对饮食习惯的影响，研究人员进行了两个实验。根据倒数第三段的内容可知，在两个实验中，胖的和瘦的演员都吃了大量的食物。参与者也照做，吃的食物比平常多。 然而，当演员是瘦的时候，参与者们服用的食物更多。由此推断，研究人员雇用演员是为了看看她如何影响参与者。故选A。27On what basis do we “adjust the influence” according to the last paragraph？ C AHow hungry we are.B

45、How slim we want to be.CHow we perceive others.DHow we feel about the food.解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If an overweight person is having a large portion, Ill hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, Ill follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why

46、cant I? ”可知，如果一个超重的人吃很大一份，我会忍住一点，因为我看到了他饮食习惯的结果。但如果一个瘦的人吃很多，我会跟着做。如果他吃得多保持苗条，为什么我不能呢？ 因此推断我们是根据我们对他人的看法(即：如何看待他人)来调整影响的。故选C。CAuthors Kyle Kurpinski and Terry D. Johnson pretty much have me convinced that human cloning is quite possible and is a future certainty. Kurpinski and Johnson are both bioeng

47、ineering experts; unlike similar scientists you have seen in the movies, they both have a sense of humor.

48、DNAencoded (编码), how that happens, and why people with similar DNA dont look or act the same.

Among the myths explored and exploded are that a clone will know everything you know and will act as you do, that heads which are cut off can be kept alive, and that a

51、clone has no belly button (肚脐). Many of the myths are ridiculous but many people believe them.Kurpinski and Johnson also detail some bioimprovements “that really work”.

94、e their first experience of the power of technology 60.to change (change)lives.By about 6000 BC，people 61.had discovered (discover) the best crops to grow and animals to raise.

New methods 65.meant (mean)that fewer people worked in farming. In the last century or so，these changes have accelerated. New power machinery and artificial

96、fertilizers(化肥)have now totally transformed a way of life that started in the Stone Age.文章大意：这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了农业的发展历史。解析：56考查介词。句意：公元前10000年以后，人们第一次真正尝试通过农业来控制他们所居住的世界。分析可知，“they lived ”应是之前名词the world 的定语从句，定语从句引导词被省略，可推知先行词应是在从句中作宾语，即：they lived in the world. live in名词，意为“居住在某地”。故填in。57考查名词性从句。句意：在几千年

97、的时间里，他们开始减少对我们从野外采集的猎物的依赖，而更多地依赖他们饲养的动物和播种的庄稼。分析句子，宾语从句部分缺主语，所以引导词应为“连接代词”。根据句意，此处缺“什么”之意。故填what。58考查固定搭配。句意：农业比狩猎和采集的人均粮食产量更高。结合句意可知，此句中将农业生产与狩猎和采集相比，应用比较连词than。more than，意为“比更”故填than。59考查时态语态。句意：随着越多的小孩出生，越多的食物被需要。分析句子，句子主语和need之间表示被动关系。同时此处描述的是过去的时间，所以时态应用过去时。故此处应用过去时的被动语态。food为不可数名词。故填was needed

98、。60考查非谓语动词。句意：农业让人们第一次体验到技术改变生活的力量。分析句子，简单句中已有动词gave故提示词部分需用非谓语动词。分析句意，此处需用不定式表示目的。故填to change。61考查时态。句意：大约在公元前6000年，人们已经发现了最适宜种植的庄稼和最适宜饲养的牲畜。分析句子，简单句中除了提示词外无其余动词，故此处考查动词的时态。句子主语和提示词之间表示主动关系。by过去时间译为“到为止”，后面的句子用过去完成时。故填had discovered。62考查名词复数。句意：后来，他们学会了因地制宜，在适当的时间播种，在干旱地区，利用每年的洪水来灌溉农田。分析句子，提示词的词性为可

99、数名词，应用复数形式。故填seasons。63考查非谓语动词。句意：后来，他们学会了因地制宜，在适当的时间播种，在干旱地区，利用每年的洪水来灌溉农田。分析句子，make所处的分句中无主语，故此处需用非谓语动词。make use of和逻辑主语they之间表示“主动”关系。所以此处用现在分词形式(doing)做状语。故填making。64考查定冠词。句意：随着科学的崛起，事情发生了变化。with the rise of 译为“随着的崛起”是固定短语。故填the。65考查时态。句意：新方法意味着更少的人从事农业。分析句子，主句部分无其他动词，故此处考查时态。文章的整体时态是过去时，根据时态一致原则

100、此处也应为过去时。句子主语和动词之间表示主动关系。所以此处填过去时的主动形式。故填meant。第四部分：写作(满分40分)第一节：书面表达(满分15分)假定你是李华， 你的美国朋友Peter给你发来一封邮件， 告诉你他被推选为学生会主席， 请你用英语给他回一封邮件， 内容包括：1对他表示祝贺；2你认为他当选的原因；3对他未来工作的祝愿。注意：1文章开头结尾已给出， 不计入总词数；2可适当增加细节， 使文章内容充实、连贯；3词数100左右。Dear Peter, I am so happy to learn that you have been elected chairman of the S
