A.asheunderstoodit

B.hehadunderstanding

C.wasunderstood

D.thathisunderstandingwas

【答案】A

【解析】考查語法。句子結(jié)構(gòu)完整，所以空格處應(yīng)該是做修飾的成分。A項as引導(dǎo)方式狀語，表示“按照……”，B項本身不符合語法結(jié)構(gòu)；C項不應(yīng)再出現(xiàn)謂語動詞was；D項that在引導(dǎo)一個缺成分的從句，不符合語法結(jié)構(gòu)。句意：托馬斯?潘恩(ThomasPaine)致力于直言不諱地說出他所理解的真相。故正確答案為A。

【答案】第1題:C

第2題:D

第3題:D

第4題:C

第5題:D

【解析】1.主旨大意題。文章第一句話通常點出主旨大意。通篇文章都在談?wù)撊藗冇捎趯ぷ鳑]有激情和興趣而找不到存在感，生活在巨大的焦慮之中的現(xiàn)實。所以C選項“社會中毫不重要的一個小部分，盡管一切運作正?！狈项}意。

2.根據(jù)文章第二段的最后一句話‘Theyliveanddiewithouteverhavingconfrontedthefundamentalrealitiesofhumanexistenceasemotionallyandintellectuallyindependentandproductivehumanbeings.他們生活和死亡從來沒有面對過人類作為情感和智力獨立和有生產(chǎn)力的人存在的基本現(xiàn)實。’確定真正的原因是作為“情感與理智上獨立的、富有創(chuàng)造性的”個人被忽視。D選項正確。選項A、B只是部分原因，不是真正的原因；C的意思與文章內(nèi)容相悖。

3.語義推測題。文章第三段開頭提到‘Thosehigheruponthesocialladderarenolessanxious.Theirlivesarenolessemptythanthoseoftheirsubordinates.Theyareevenmoreinsecureinsomerespects.Theyareinahighlycompetitiverace.生活在社會上層階級的人需要面對更為激烈的競爭，因此面臨著更大的焦慮，同時也更沒有安全感‘。所以A和B選項排除。第三段最后一句提到“Thisconstantneedtoprovethatoneisasgoodasorbetterthanone’sfellow-competitorcreatesconstantanxietyandstress,theverycausesofunhappinessandillness.一個人需要頻繁地去證實他不比其競爭者差或比他更好，這樣頻繁的焦慮和壓力正是人類抑郁和生病的原因。”，所以C選項排除。所以正確答案為D。

4.語義理解題。文章最后一段作者提到了解決方法：Isuggesttransformingoursocialsystemfromabureaucraticallymanagedindustrialisminwhichmaximalproductionandconsumptionareendsinthemselvesintoahumanistindustrialisminwhichmanandfulldevelopmentofhispotentialities-thoseofloveandofreason-aretheaimsofallsocialarrangements.我建議把我們的社會制度從以最大限度的生產(chǎn)和消費為目的的官僚主義管理的工業(yè)主義轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)橐匀藶楸镜墓I(yè)主義，在這種工業(yè)主義中，人和充分發(fā)揮他的潛力---即愛和理性的潛力---是一切社會安排的目標。作者不贊同回到工業(yè)革命前的生產(chǎn)模式或是19世紀自由市場資本主義，所以A和B選項排除。作者贊同旨在激發(fā)人類愛和理智無限潛能的社會事業(yè)，所以C選項正確。D選項文章沒有提及，排除。

5.作者觀點題。作者提出了由于工業(yè)主義后在社會上產(chǎn)生的焦慮，但是文章最后一段，作者并不僅僅是表達對現(xiàn)狀的不滿意，而是以寬容的方式提出更好的建議來改善現(xiàn)狀。所以D選項“寬容”符合題意。A“贊同”和C“懷疑”都不符合文意，排除。B‘不滿’比較片面，排除。

【答案】第1題:B

第2題:C

第3題:A

第4題:D

第5題:A

【解析】31.【試題答案】B

【試題解析】主旨大意題。題干意思是“這篇文章主要討論什么主題？”。文章第一段通過火山火和冰川冰的競爭引出雷尼爾山國家公園的蒸汽洞穴的話題，隨即第二段介紹了蒸汽洞穴形成的特征，第三段講述冰川與火山口相互作用形成蒸汽洞的具體過程，最后一段講述了蒸汽洞的維持需要熱與雪在火山口的獨特平衡。綜上所述，這篇文章主要討論的是雷尼爾山的蒸汽洞穴，B項“雷尼爾山的蒸汽洞穴”正確。A項“降雪對雷尼爾山的重要性”屬于以偏概全。C項“冰雪是如何被破壞的”和D項“1980年圣海倫斯火山爆發(fā)”只是少部分提及或者舉例，也屬于以偏概全。因此，該題選擇B項正確。

32.【試題答案】C

【試題解析】事實細節(jié)題。題干意思是“根據(jù)這篇文章，長時間的火山不活動會導(dǎo)致火山錐的……”。定位第一段第三句Duringlongdormantintervals,glaciersgaintheupperhandcuttingdeeplyintovolcanicconesandeventuallyreducingthemtorubble.（在長時間的休眠期間，冰川占據(jù)上風(fēng)，深深地切割火山錐，最終將它們夷為平地）可知，如果火山長時間不活動，那么冰川會把火山錐夷為平地，C項“破壞”正確。A項“強烈的火山噴發(fā)”和B項“突然的增長”與原文相反，屬于反向干擾。D項“不可預(yù)測性”屬于無中生有。因此，該題選擇C項正確。

33.【試題答案】A

【試題解析】事實細節(jié)題。題干意思是“第二段提到了除了……以外的所有蒸汽洞穴的必要元素”。定位第二段第二句Thecave-makingrecipecallsforasteadyemissionofvolcanicgasandheat,aheavyannualsnowfallatanelevationhighenoughtokeepitfrommeltingduringthesummer,andabowl-shapedcratertoholdthesnow.（建造洞穴的方法需要穩(wěn)定的火山氣體和熱量的釋放，在海拔足夠高的地方每年有大量的降雪，以防止在夏季融化，還有一個碗狀的火山口來容納雪）可知，蒸汽洞穴的必要元素是火山口、降雪和熱量，B項“火山口”、C項“熱”和D項“雪”都正確。只有A項“冰川”沒提到。因此，該題選擇A項正確。

34.【試題答案】D

【試題解析】事實細節(jié)題。題干意思是“根據(jù)這篇文章，雷尼爾山山頂火山口的熱量從……上升”。定位第三段第二句Heatrisingfromnumerousopening(calledfumaroles)alongtheinnercraterwallsmeltsoutchambersbetweentherockywallsandtheoverlyingicepack.（沿著火山口內(nèi)壁的大量噴氣孔上升的熱量融化了巖壁和上面的冰袋之間的洞穴）可知，D項“噴氣孔”正確。定位第一句SnowaccumulatingyearlyinRainier’ssummitcratersiscompactedandcompressedintoadenseformoficecalledfirn,asubstancemidwaybetweenordinaryiceandthedensercrystallineicethatmakesupglaciers.（在雷尼爾山頂?shù)碾E石坑里，每年積累的雪被壓實并壓縮成一種稱為硬冰的密集形式，這種物質(zhì)介于普通冰和構(gòu)成冰川的更致密的結(jié)晶冰之間）可知，A項“結(jié)晶冰”和B項“積雪”與題干無關(guān)，屬于出處錯位。C項“洞穴”也屬于出處錯位。因此，該題選擇D項正確。

35.【試題答案】A

【試題解析】語義推測題。題干意思是“第四段的smothering的意思是……”。定位第四段最后一句Iftoolittleheatisproduced,theice,replenishedannuallybywintersnowstorms,willexpand,pushingagainsttheenclosingcraterwallsandsmotheringthepresentcavernsinsolidfirnice.（如果產(chǎn)生的熱量太少，每年由冬季暴風(fēng)雪補充的冰就會膨脹，擠壓周圍的隕石坑壁，并用堅實的冰smothering現(xiàn)在的洞穴），結(jié)合前一句Iftoomuchvolcanicheatisdischarged,thecrater’sicepackwillmeltawayentirelyandthecaveswillvanishalongwiththesnowsofyesteryear.（如果火山釋放出過多的熱量，火山口的冰塊將完全融化，洞穴將和去年的雪一起消失），這兩句分別是闡述熱量過少和熱量過多時，蒸汽洞穴的變化，前一句提到了vanish，所以smothering的意思也和vanish相近，表示“消失”，A項“消除”符合題意。B項“放大”、C項“預(yù)防”和D項“挖空”都是曲解原文。因此，該題選擇A項正確。

8.單選題

Myshoulderhurt（）eachtimeIputanotherfullbarrelonit,andmylegsoccasionallytrembledasIwasheadingtothestreet.

問題1選項

A.wickedly

B.typically

C.ultimately

D.vainly

【答案】A

【解析】考查副詞辨析。wickedly“惡劣地，居心叵測的”；typically“代表性地，作為特色地”；ultimately“最后，根本”；vainly“徒勞地，無益地”。句意：每次我把裝滿東西的桶放我肩上時，我的肩膀就疼得厲害，當我走向街頭時，我的腿也是不是打顫。能修飾hurt的只有wickedly。故A項正確。

【答案】第1題:D

第2題:B

第3題:C

第4題:D

第5題:C

【解析】1.推理判斷題。由第一段“TheAmericanpublicoverwhelminglythinksthey’rebad.Yettheconsensusamongmosteconomistsisthatimmigration,bothlegalandillegal,providesasmallnetboosttotheeconomy.絕大多數(shù)美國民眾認為移民是有害的。然而，大多數(shù)經(jīng)濟學(xué)家的共識是，無論是合法的還是非法的移民，都對經(jīng)濟有小小的促進作用。”可知公眾與經(jīng)濟學(xué)家就移民是好還是壞有不同的看法。故D項正確。

2.細節(jié)事實題。由第一段“Immigrantsprovidecheaplabor,lowerthepricesofeverythingfromfarmproducetonewhomes，andleaveconsumerswithalittlemoremoneyintheirpockets.移民提供了廉價的勞動力，降低了從農(nóng)產(chǎn)品到新住房等一切商品的價格，讓消費者口袋里多了一些錢。”可知移民給普通美國人帶來的好處是：降低了物價，使他們手中能有多一些錢。故B項正確。

3.推理判斷題.由題干關(guān)鍵詞“nativelow-skilledworkers”定位到第三段倒數(shù)一、二句“Nativelow-skilledworkerssuffermostfromthecompetitionofforeignlabor.AccordingtoastudybyGeorgeBorjas,aHarvardeconomist,immigrationreducedthewagesofAmericanhigh-schooldropoutsby9%from1980to2000.本地的低技能工人在與外國勞工的競爭中受害最深。根據(jù)哈佛大學(xué)經(jīng)濟學(xué)家GeorgeBorjas的一項研究，從1980年到2000年，移民使美國高中輟學(xué)生的工資下降了9%。”可知C項“他們很難找到一份薪水體面的工作”正確。

4.細節(jié)事實題。由第四段“Whatworriedthemmost,inotherwords,wasthefiscalburdenofimmigration.換句話說，他們最擔心的是移民帶來的財政負擔?！笨芍狣項“它會給國家預(yù)算帶來很大壓力”正確。

5.細節(jié)事實題。由最后一段“Theironyisthatforalltheoverexciteddebate,theneteffectofimmigrationisminimal.Evenforthosemostacutelyaffected—say,low-skilledworkers,orCaliforniaresidents—theimpactisn’tallthatdramatic.具有諷刺意味的是，盡管所有的爭論都過于激烈，移民的凈影響卻微乎其微。即使對那些受影響最嚴重的人——比如，低技能工人或加州居民——影響也不那么顯著。”可知C項“人們對影響不大的事情大驚小怪”正確，即人們對于移民的影響過于大驚小怪。

【答案】1.醫(yī)療保健費用是美國面臨的最大挑戰(zhàn)之一，而且，正如大多數(shù)人從經(jīng)驗中知道的那樣，藥價是問題日益嚴重的一部分。

2.雖然藥物支出僅占總醫(yī)療費用的12%，年率上升10%到12%——超過通貨膨脹率的四倍，很快就會超越醫(yī)生診療費用，成為第二大醫(yī)療保健法案的一部分，改變住院費用。

3.私人保險公司與制造商討價還價，爭取他們承保的藥品的折扣，但制藥業(yè)長期以來一直阻撓聯(lián)邦政府的這類努力。

4.這個問題正達到危機的程度——如果不進行大膽的改革，它將變得更糟。

5.事實是，2002年，美國前十大制藥公司的利潤率中值為17%，而其他財富500強行業(yè)的利潤率中值不到3.1%。
