；[D]induces“引起，引誘”。lead如果要理解成“導(dǎo)致”，一般是leadto；而leadsb．to的意思為“引導(dǎo)某人，帶領(lǐng)某人”，故[A]可以排除。而trigger一般搭配某物，不搭配某人，故可以排除。而inducesb．的意思為“引誘某人”，故該題答案為[B]causes。14．【C14】A．worriedB．excitedC．tiredD．sober正確答案：C解析：上文提到awakethroughoutthenight“徹夜難眠”，該句以逗號和leaving這樣的伴隨狀語來提示并列邏輯，故可知填入的詞與上文意思要相關(guān)。四個選項的意思分別是：[A]worried“擔(dān)心的”；[B]excited“激動的”；[C]tired“疲憊的”；[D]sober“冷靜的”。徹夜難眠之后，白天自然是tired“疲憊的”，即本題答案為[C]。15．【C15】A．insteadofB．inregardofC．inspiteofD．regardlessof正確答案：D解析：本題考查短語理解。四個選項的意思分別為：[A]insteadof“代替”；[B]inregardof“關(guān)于”；[C]inspiteof“盡管”:[D]regardlessof“不管，無論”。由于逗號不僅提示停頓，很多時候也提示并列，從上下文我們知道該句邏輯為并列，即填入的詞和whether…or…相等，whether…or．．．的意思為“不管”，故[D]為本題答案。16．【C16】A．compensatoryB．comprehensiveC．complicatedD．compassionate正確答案：C解析：從or一詞可以判斷該題。由于or有時候提示并列，有時候則類似轉(zhuǎn)折，所以要通過上下文背景分析。由上文的richorpoor的提示，我們知道此處的or暗示前后相對立。與straightforward“直接的，簡單的”相對立的是[C]complicated“復(fù)雜的”。其余三項的意思分別為：[A]compensatory“補(bǔ)償?shù)摹保籟B]comprehensive“綜合的”；[D]compassionate“同情的”。故本題答案為[C]。17．【C17】A．ruleoutB．keepwithC．bringinD．setout正確答案：A解析：本題考查短語理解。四個選項的意思分別為：[A]ruleout“排除，消除，劃掉”；[B]keepwith“跟上”；[C]bringin“引進(jìn)”；[D]setout“出發(fā)”。文章大意為“為了17可能性，”能與其搭配的只有“排除”，排除某事的可能性，故本題答案為[A]。18．【C18】A．opportunityB．tendencyC．capabilityD．inability正確答案：B解析：句子大意為“為了排除這樣一種可能性：孕婦本來就更18去醫(yī)院?！彼膫€選項的意思分別為：[A]opportunity“機(jī)會”；[B]tendency“傾向性，可能性”；[C]capability“能力”；[D]inability“無能”。顯然，孕婦去醫(yī)院與能力無關(guān)，可以先排除[C][D]。而更有機(jī)會／更有可能去醫(yī)院，tendency搭配合理，即[B]正確。19．【C19】A．onB．withC．inD．for正確答案：C解析：本題考查固定搭配?！霸凇磥怼保瑧?yīng)該是inone’sterms，而inlayman’sterms可以理解為“在門外漢看來”或者”按門外漢的說法”。故該題答案明了，選擇[C]。20．【C20】A．a(chǎn)lthoughB．whereasC．nonethelessD．because正確答案：D解析：該空上下文沒有出現(xiàn)相反信息或者矛盾觀點，而只是簡單解釋，故該空的邏輯詞不能填表轉(zhuǎn)折或讓步的詞，而[A]although，[B]whereas和[C]nonetheless三個詞全部是表轉(zhuǎn)折或讓步，故本題選擇[D]because。SectionIIReadingComprehensionPartADirections:Readthefollowingfourtexts.AnswerthequestionsbeloweachtextbychoosingA,B,CorD.(40points)Ifcomfortablyoutpacingyourrivalsisthemainmeasureofautomotiveachievement,Tesla’selectriccarisaresoundingsuccess.TheModelSlastyearoutsolditsnearestluxuryrival,Mercedes’spetrol-enginedS-class,by30%inAmerica.AndinitstopspecificationtheTeslawillalsobeattheGermancarintheracefrom0-60mph.Asabattery-makerTeslaisalsomovingfast.Thisweekitannouncedplanstobuilda“gigafactory”inAmericatomakelithium-ionpower-packs,thatithopeswillpropelitsvehiclestothemainstream.Tesla’saccelerationhasbeenrapid.LaunchedadecadeagobyElonMusk,afounderofPayPalandserialtechentrepreneur,lastyearitsoldaround22,000carsandbytheendof2014hopestobemaking1,000aweek.Inearly2015TeslawilladdtheModelX,amedium-sizedSUV,toitsrange.However,Tesla’simpressivegrowthhasnotyettranslatedintosignificantprofits.Aseriesofbatteryfiresalsobrieflydentedsalesgrowthlastyear.Nevertheless,Tesla’ssharessurgedonFebruary25th,tovaluethecompanyatover$30billionafterMorganStanley,abank,joineditsadoringfans.Itreckonsthatthebatteryfactorywillnotonlypropelitalongtheroadtomassmanufacturingbutalsomakeitaleadingcompetitorinlow-costenergystorage,thekeytomakingrenewableenergymorepractical.ThebankisalsoconfidentthatTesla’sSiliconValleylocationwillputitinthedriverlessfrontseatofautonomousmotoring.ArecentmeetingwithApple,andtheiPad-likecontrolpaneloftheModelS,haveconvincedsomeobserversthatatakeoverandaniCararearoundthecorner,althoughMr.Muskinsiststhathisfirmisnotforsale.TeslahasdefieditsdoubterswiththesuccessoftheModelS,asmartlystyledluxurycar.ItmaynotsharetheoutrageouslooksofasupercarliketheLamborghiniAventador,butithastheperformancewithoutthe$400,000-pluspricetag.ThemostbasicModelScosts$64,000inAmerica.Thishaswonitravereviewsinthemotoringpress,oftensniffyaboutotherelectriccarswithlimitedrangesanddufflooks.Bydesigningalargecarwithabigbatterypack,Teslahasdiminished“rangeanxiety”—oneversioncando310miles(500km)betweencharges.21．Accordingtothefirstparagraph,Teslais______.A．a(chǎn)luxurycarbrandthatbeatsallitsrivalsB．a(chǎn)car-makerthataimsathigh-endcustomersC．a(chǎn)battery-makerthathasbecomemainstreamD．a(chǎn)nelectriccarbrandthatalsoproducesbattery正確答案：D解析：根據(jù)題干定位到第一段。該段第二行提到luxury一詞，但是指的是Mercedes“梅賽德斯”，并不是Tesla“特斯拉”，故選項[A]的luxurycarbrand表述不當(dāng)，而beatsallitsrivals更是過度夸大，故判斷選項[A]是錯誤的。而選項[B]的high—endcustomers“高端客戶”更是無中生有。選項[C]的battery—maker只是Tesla的部分業(yè)務(wù)，而且hasbecomemainstream“已經(jīng)成為主流”也與原文不符，故該項錯誤。只有[D]項的anelectriccarbrandthatalsoproducesbattery“同時生產(chǎn)電池的電動跑車品牌”能夠概括Tesla，分別對應(yīng)該段第一、二行的Tesla’selectriccar和第四行的Asabattery-makerTeslaisalsomovingfast.故答案為[D]。22．ItcanbeinferredfromParagraph2that______.A．Tesla’selectriccarwillbecomemainstreaminthemarketB．Teslawillmakeagreatfortunein2015thankstoitsnewmodelC．itmaytakeawhileforTeslatorecoverfromthebatteryaccidentsD．Teslapursuesenvironmentally-friendlycarsratherthanhugeprofits正確答案：C解析：根據(jù)題干定位到第二段。首先，選項[A]在該段沒有對應(yīng)內(nèi)容，該段未提到main-stream一詞，該項屬于無中生有。選項[B]的2015和newmodel對應(yīng)該段的Inearly2015TeslawilladdtheModelX，amedium-sizedSUV，toitsrange一句，但是該項的makeagreatfortune“大賺一筆”文中并無體現(xiàn)，故該項錯誤。選項[C]對應(yīng)該段最后一句：Aseriesofbatteryfiresalsobrieflydentedsalesgrowthlastyear．“去年，一系列電池起火事件削弱了其銷售增長勢頭?！庇纱丝梢娫擁椀膇tmaytakeawhileforTeslatorecoverfromthebatteryaccidents“特斯拉可能需要一段時間才能從電池事故中恢復(fù)過來”推理正確。選項[D]的environmentally—friendly原文并未提到，該項也是錯誤的。綜上，答案為[C]。23．AccordingtoParagraph3,someobserversbelievethat______.A．Tesla’sfounderwillnotsellhiscompanyB．ApplemaytakeTeslaoverinthenearfutureC．TeslaandApplemaycooperateanddevelopiCarD．Teslawillbetheleadingcorporationofdriverlesscars正確答案：B解析：根據(jù)someobservers定位到第三段最后一句：ArecentmeetingwithApple，andtheiPad—likecontrolpaneloftheModelS，haveconvincedsomeobserversthatatakeoverandaniCararearoundthecorner，althoughMr．Muskinsiststhathisfirmisnotforsale．其中答案的來源句為atakeoverandaniCararearoundthecorner“特斯拉很快會被接手，iCar很快會出現(xiàn)”。其中，aroundthecorner的意思是“即將到來”，四項中與該句表述一致的是選項[B]ApplemaytakeTeslaoverinthenearfuture“蘋果可能在近期接手特斯拉”，其中takeTeslaover=takeover；inthenearfuture=aroundthecorner，故該題答案為[B]。24．WhichoneofthefollowingistrueaboutTesla’sModelS?A．Ithasdufflooksandlimitedrange.B．Itlooksasimpressiveasothersupercars.C．Itisnotworthspendingsomuchmoneyonit.D．Ithaschangedpeople’sviewtowardselectriccars.正確答案：D解析：根據(jù)題干的Tesla’sModelS以及出題順序定位到最后一段。選項[A]對應(yīng)該段第四、五行：Thishaswonitravereviewsinthemotoringpress，oftensniffyaboutotherelectriccarswithlimitedrangesanddufflooks．其中的limitedrangesanddufflooks指的是otherelectriccars，而不是Tesla，故該項錯誤。選項[B]對應(yīng)本段第二句：ItmaynotsharetheoutrageouslooksofasupercarliketheLamborghiniAventador…其中的outrageous“令人震驚的”與該項的impressive“令人印象深刻的”意思接近，但是原文說的是notsharetheoutrageouslooksofasupercar，故該項錯誤。選項[C]對應(yīng)該段第二、三兩句：butithastheperformancewithoutthe$400，000一pluspricetag．ThemostbasicModelScosts$64，000inAmerica．由此可見ModelS不僅擁有40多萬美元車盼陛能，而且售價僅為6．4萬美元，性價比很高，該項說的“不值得購買”顯然是錯誤的。選項[D]對應(yīng)該段第四行：Thishaswonitravereviewsinthemotoringpress，oftensniffyaboutotherelectriccars…“這使其在汽車報刊上引起軒然大波，該報刊往往對其他電動跑車的有限行程和笨拙外觀嗤之以鼻?！庇纱丝梢娫擁桰thaschangedpeople’sviewtowardselectriccars．“它改變了人們對于電動跑車的看法”表述正確，即[D]為答案。25．Themostappropriatetitleforthistextis______.A．Tesla:ElectricCarThatMakesAHitB．ElectricCar:WhereIstheFuture?C．Tesla:WilltheTakeoverComeSoon?D．Tesla:RapidGrowthButNoProfits正確答案：A解析：本文討論的是電動跑車品牌Tesla“特斯拉”，幾個選項基本都吻合。四個選項的意思分別為：選項[A]“特斯拉：大獲成功的電動跑車”；選項[B]“電動跑車：何去何從?”；選項[C]“特斯拉：距離被接手還遠(yuǎn)嗎?”；選項[D]“特斯拉：猛增長，零利潤”。一般文章各段首句可以表達(dá)各段大意，而把各段首句加起來，可以看出整篇文章大意。第一段提到：Tesla’selectriccarisaresoundingsuccess．第二段首句指出：Tesla’saccelerationhasbeenrapid．第三段首句重點為：Nevertheless，Tesla’ssharessurged．最后一段首句又指出：TeslahasdefieditsdoubterswiththesuccessoftheModelS．這幾句話不斷提到success，acceleration，surge等詞，都是積極向上的詞，由此可以判斷，文章重點討論特斯拉的成功和發(fā)展，故[A]項為本題答案。Onacold,blusterymorningatCanaryWharf,London’ssecondfinancialdistrict,eatingoutsidedoesnotseemappealing.Yetonasolitaryconcretequay,suitedworkershuddlearoundpicnicbenches.Halfadozenfoodstallslinethewater’sedge.OnesellsThaifoodoutofarickshaw,anothersaltedporkbunsfromaconvertedhorsebox.Everythingonofferisabout￡6($10).SuchisthelatestinBritain’sculinaryevolution.Streetdiningishardlynew.Kebabvansinuniversitytownsserveoilygunktosozzledstudents:onweekendsinLondon,grizzledmenhawkfrankfurtersoutsideTubestations.Butuntilrecentlysmarternoshwasmostiyavailableonlyinrestaurants.Nowmostbigcitieshaveatleastoneregularstreetfoodevent,asaLondonfashionhasspreadout.Britain’sfalteringeconomyispartoftheexplanation.“Inarecession,peoplegointofoodbusinesses”,saysMarkLaurieofNCASS,atradeassociationforcaterers.Settingupastreetfoodstalltakeslittlecapitalorspecialistknowledge.AtCanaryWharf,thetradersincludeaformerarchitectandabankworker,aswellasrestaurateurs.Demandisincreasing,too,aspinchedcustomerstradedownfromrestaurants.Yetthebiggestdriverofoutdooreatingisofficialdom.Localauthoritiesandcommercialpropertydevelopersseestreetstallsasameansofquicklygingeringupstrugglinghighstreetsandsterileplazas.TheCanaryWharfGroupdoesnotchargefortheuseofitslandbytheclusterofstreetvendors.AlistairTurnham,whorunsStockMkt,asimilaroutfit,sayssomecouncilswillevenpayhisfirmtorunevents.Streetfoodvendorsthusavoidpayingheavyrentsorbusinessrates—whichhelpsthemtoundercutrestaurants.Still,thedistinctionbetweenindoorandoutdoorfoodisblurring.TheMarriot,anupmarkethotelinMayfair,recentlyputonastreetfood-inspiredmenu.TrinityLeeds,anewshoppingcentreinYorkshire,hostsrollingstreetfoodtradersaspartofitsfoodhall.Somesuccessfulstreetfoodvendorsaresettinguprestaurants—fewwanttoworkoutofvansforever.Othersaremovingintocateringforprivateevents.Themarketeconomyistriumphing.26．Thedescriptionofthefirstparagraphisto______.A．provetheimportanceoffoodB．introducethediscussionoffoodC．introducethetopicofstreetdiningD．showthebusysceneofLondonlife正確答案：C解析：本題考查第一段在文章中的作用，屬于篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。一般文章首段是描寫性的段落，作用是用來引出下文討論的話題。故[A][D]兩項可以排除。而第二段首句就指出文章討論的話題：Streetdiningishardlynew．接下來幾個段落也都在討論有關(guān)streetdining的話題，故[C]是該題答案。27．Itcanbelearnedthatstreetdining______.A．isstrangetomostLondonersB．hasbecomecommoninLondonC．firstappearedinuniversitytownsD．hasbecomeatrendinmostcities正確答案：B解析：根據(jù)出題順序和streetdining定位到第二段。選項[A]對應(yīng)首句：Streetdiningishardlynew．“街頭用餐一點也不新奇?！边@與該項的streetdiningisstrangetomostLondoners“街頭用餐對于大多數(shù)倫敦人來說很陌生”表述不符，故該項錯誤。[B]項對應(yīng)該段描寫，通過本段描寫可以得知streetdininghasbecomecommoninLondon是正確的。選項[C]的firstappearedinuniversitytowns中first一詞在原文無所體現(xiàn)，故錯誤。選項[D]對應(yīng)最后一句：Nowmostbigcitieshaveatleastoneregularstreetfoodevent，asaLondonfashionhasspreadout．原文說的是mostbigcities，而不是mostcities，故該項屬于偷換概念，也是錯誤的。綜上，本題答案為[B]。28．Duringeconomicdepression,peopleenterthestreetfoodbusinessbecauseA．theyhavenothingelsetodoB．itneedsnocapitalandothercostsC．theyknownothingaboutotherfieldsD．itrequireslittlefundandexpertknowledge正確答案：D解析：根據(jù)題干的economicdepression“經(jīng)濟(jì)蕭條”定位到第三段第二句：Inarecession，peoplegointofoodbusinesses．“在蕭條期，人們轉(zhuǎn)入食品行業(yè)?！逼渲衐epression=recession。而該題答案，即“人們轉(zhuǎn)入食品行業(yè)的原因”在第三句：Settingupastreetfoodstalltakeslittlecapitalorspecialistknowledge．其中takeslittlecapitalorspecialistknowledge“需要少量資金和專業(yè)知識”=[D]項itrequireslittlefundandexpertknowledge；capital=fund；specialistknowledge=expertknowledge。故[D]為本題答案。29．Streetvendorshaveearnedsupportfromallofthefollowingexcept______.A．hotelsandrestaurantsB．largeenterprisegroupsC．localcouncilsandofficialsD．commercialpropertydevelopers正確答案：A解析：根據(jù)出題順序和題干的streetvendors定位到第四段第三、四行。該題問：街頭小販贏得了以下所有人的支持，除了______。根據(jù)該段首句Yetthebiggestdriverofoutdooreatingisofficialdom．“然而戶外餐飲的最大驅(qū)動力卻是來自政府官員。”以及下一句緊接著提到Localauthoritiesandcommercialpropertydevelopers“當(dāng)?shù)卣蜕虡I(yè)地產(chǎn)開發(fā)商”，可以判斷[C]項localcouncilsandofficials“地方政府和官員”和[D]項commercialpropertydevelopers“商業(yè)地產(chǎn)開發(fā)商”都屬于支持者。第三句又指出：TheCanaryWharfGroupdoesnotchargefortheuseofitslandbytheclusterofstreetvendors．“金絲雀碼頭集團(tuán)沒有對聚集在其土地上的街頭商販征收費(fèi)用?！逼渲衐oesnotcharge“不收費(fèi)”就表明了支持，而CanaryWharfGroup就等同于選項[B]的largeenterprisegroups“大型企業(yè)集團(tuán)”。綜上，[A]為答案，全段沒有提到得到[A]“旅館和飯店”的支持。30．Theauthor’sattitudetowardsstreetfoodseemstobe______.A．indifferentB．prejudicedC．objectiveD．supportive正確答案：C解析：題干的streetfood是貫穿首尾的話題。作者對其描述中并未體現(xiàn)富含感情色彩的詞，故作者僅僅是客觀陳述。四個選項中，[A]indifferent“冷漠的”，[B]prejudiced“偏見的”和[D]supportive“支持的”都過于褒義或貶義，答案為[C]objective“客觀的”。Between1998and2013,theEarth’ssurfacetemperatureroseatarateof0.04°Cadecade,farslowerthanthe0.18°Cincreaseinthe1990s.Meanwhile,emissionsofcarbondioxiderosecontinuously.Thispauseinwarminghasraiseddoubtsinthepublicmindaboutclimatechange.Afewscepticssayflatlythatglobalwarminghasstopped.Othersarguethatscientists’understandingoftheclimateissoflawedthattheirjudgmentsaboutitcannotbeacceptedwithanyconfidence.Aconvincingexplanationofthepausethereforemattersbothtoaproperunderstandingoftheclimateandtothecredibilityofclimatescience—andpaperspublishedoverthepastfewweeksdotheirbesttoprovideone.Asevidencepiledupthattemperatureswerenotrisingmuch,somescientistsdismisseditasatemporaryphenomenon.Thetemperature,theypointedout,hadfallenformuchlongerperiodstwiceinthepastcenturyorso,in1880-1910andagainin1945-75,eventhoughthegeneraltrendwasup.Variabilityispartoftheclimatesystemanda15-yearpause,theysuggested,wasnotworthgettingexcitedabout.Analternativewayoflookingatthepause’ssignificancewastosaythattherehadbeenaslowdownbutnotabigone.Mostrecords,includingoneofthebestknown,donotincludemeasurementsfromtheArctic,whichhasbeenwarmingfasterthananywhereelseintheworld.UsingsatellitedatatofillinthemissingArcticnumbers,KevinCowtanoftheUniversityofYork,inBritain,andRobertWayoftheUniversityofOttawa,inCanada,puttheoverallrateofglobalwarmingat0.12°Cadecadebetween1998and2012.AstudybyNASAputsthe“Arcticeffect”overthesameperiodsomewhatlower,at0.07°Cadecade,butthatisstillnotnegligible.Itisalsoworthrememberingthataveragewarmingisnottheonlymeasureofclimatechange.AccordingtoastudyjustpublishedbySoniaSeneviratneoftheInstituteforAtmosphericandClimateScience,inZurich,thenumberofhotdays,thenumberofextremelyhotdaysandthelengthofwarmperiodsallincreasedduringthepause.Amorestableaveragetemperaturehideswiderextremes.Still,attemptstoexplainawaythatstableaveragehavenotbeenconvincing,partlybecauseoftheconflictbetweenflattemperaturesandrisingCO2emissions,andpartlybecauseobservedtemperaturesarenowfallingoutsidetherangeclimatemodelspredict.Themodelsembodythestateofclimateknowledge.Iftheyarewrong,theknowledgeisprobablyfaulty,too.Henceattemptstoexplainthepause.31．Accordingtothefirstparagraph,thepauseofglobalwarminghas______.A．causedpanicinthepublicB．beenignoredbythepublicC．beenexplainedbysomescientistsD．a(chǎn)rousedsuspicionandcontroversy正確答案：D解析：根據(jù)題干定位到第一段，再根據(jù)thepauseofglobalwarming定位到第三句：Thispauseinwarminghasraiseddoubtsinthepublicmindaboutclimatechange．該句明確指出thepauseinwanninghasraiseddoubts，相當(dāng)于選項[D]的arousedsuspicion。后兩句提到：Afewscepticssayflatlythatglobalwarminghasstopped．Othersarguethat…通過afewsay，othersarguethat這些信息，我們知道這也引起了人們爭議，故[D]項arousedsuspicionandcontroversy“引起懷疑和爭議”是正確答案。而[A]項的panic一詞文章未體現(xiàn)；[B]項的ignored也不符合原文；[C]項的beenexplained在該段也未體現(xiàn)。32．Inthesecondparagraph,somescientistssuggestthat______.A．climateischangeableandthepauseiscommonB．climatechangeisnotworthreceivingourconcernC．climatescienceismorecomplicatedthanyouthinkD．thetemperaturesinthepast15yearshaven’trisenmuch正確答案：A解析：第二段都在討論somescientists的觀點，其中suggest一詞出現(xiàn)在最后一句：Variabilityispartoftheclimatesystemanda15一yearpause，theysuggested，wasnotworthgettingexcitedabout．“復(fù)雜多變也是氣候系統(tǒng)的一個特征。他們認(rèn)為，15年的停滯期并不值得大驚小怪?！备鶕?jù)該句可以判斷[A]項是正確答案。其中[A]項的climateischangeable=variabilityispartoftheclimatesystem：thepauseiscommon=a15一yearpausewasnotworthgettingexcitedabout。而[B]項的notworthreceivingourconcern“不值得我們關(guān)注”是偷換概念，原文說的是“不值得大驚小怪”。[C]項的morecomplicatedthanyouthink原文并未提到。[D]項的內(nèi)容對應(yīng)該段第一句：Asevidencepiledupthattemperatureswerenotrisingmuch…由此可見“溫度沒有上升太多”不是這些科學(xué)家提出的，故錯誤。33．ThedataofglobalwarmingfromKevinCowtanandRobertWayishigherbecause______.A．theirtheoryisunconventionalB．theytaketheArcticintoaccountC．theirmeasuringmethodisdifferentD．theyneglectsomeimportantstatistics正確答案：B解析：根據(jù)題干的KevinCowtan和RobertWay定位到第三段第三句：UsingsatellitedatatofillinthemissingArcticnumbers，KevinCowtanoftheUniversityofYork，inBritain，andRobertWay…文章前面就提到許多記錄數(shù)據(jù)都沒有包括北極，該句又明確指出fillinthemissingArcticnumbers“填入了缺失的北極數(shù)據(jù)”，從而KevinCowtan和RobertWay得出一個更高的數(shù)據(jù)，由此可見該題的正確答案是[B]項theytaketheArcticintoaccount“他們把北極考慮在內(nèi)”。而[C]項theirmeasuringmethodisdifferent“他們的測量方法不同”則顯得過于籠統(tǒng)，[A][D]則是無中生有。34．SoniaSeneviratne’sstudysuggeststhat______.A．ZurichistoowarmtoliveB．thepausemaybeadelusionC．extremeclimatewillcomesoonD．therewillbemoreextremelyhotdays正確答案：B解析：根據(jù)SoniaSeneviratne定位到第四段第二行。選項[A]的Zurichistoowarmtolive顯然不是Sonia研究的目的；而[C][D]兩項的“極端氣候很快會到來”和“將來會出現(xiàn)更多的極熱天氣”兩項不僅意思過于接近，而且語氣過于肯定，可以同時排除。而[B]項thepausemaybeadelusion“全球變暖暫停可能是錯覺”與該段最后一句Amorestableaveragetemperaturehideswiderextremes“更穩(wěn)定的平均溫度隱藏著更多極端天氣”本質(zhì)意思是一樣的，故[B]項為答案。35．Towardstheexplanationofthepauseofglobalwarming,theauthorseemstobe______.A．optimisticB．pessimisticC．skepticalD．favourable正確答案：C解析：根據(jù)出題順序定位到最后一段，該段首句就很關(guān)鍵：Still，attemptstoexplainawaythatstableaveragehavenotbeenconvincing…其中explainawaythatstableaverage指的就是題干的theexplanationofthepauseofglobalwanning，而notconvincing“不具備說服力”就表明作者態(tài)度，是“懷疑的”，即[C]skeptical“懷疑的”為正確答案。Inhisblog,whichislargelydedicatedtothekeepingofbees,JohnCarey,for30yearsaprofessorofEnglishliteratureatOxford,statesthathewritesto“stimulateandinvolvethegeneralreader”.Thisautobiography,writtenwithsympathy,alighttouchandasenseofhumour,amplyfulfilsthataim.Itsuggeststhatthiswell-knownbookreviewerandauthorretainsstrongopinionsandaloveofcontroversy,butalsoportraysasensitivemandedicatedtoacademicstudyandtoreading.Headmitsthat“couragemattersmorethanunderstandingpoetry”but,havingreadalmosteverythingthereistoread,heisunapologeticabouttryingtoconveyjustwhatanenjoyableactivityreadingis.BornandbroughtupinLondon,Mr.Careydevouredbooksfromanearlyage.AftertheBeano,theBiggiesbooksandChumsmagazine,thesingingofhymnsandtheKingJamesBible,camethediscoveryofpoetry—Keats,Arnold,TennysonandWordsworth.GrammarschoolandnationalserviceledtoOxford,auniversitythatwasverydifferentfromtheonethatstudentsexperiencetoday.Whereasnowtheyarewelcomedwithplacardsandballoons,hewasmetbyagruffporterwhotoldhimthenumberofhisroomandbadehimgoodnight.Therewereold-styledonsandmuchthathedisapprovedof,butheworkedhardandthrived.Hisaimwastolearn,nottohavefun...thosetwoaimsseldomcoincide.Movingfromcollegetocollegeasheclimbedtheacademicladder,alwayswithinOxford,Mr.Carey,aspecialistinDonneandMilton,helpedtodraghisdepartmentintotheVictorianageandthenintothe20thcentury.HewrotebooksonDickensandThackeray,thoughtGeorgeEliot“byalongstretchthemostintelligentofallEnglishnovelists”,andconsideredLawrence,OrwellandConradthebestofmoremodernwriters.Havingchairedanumberofliteraryprizes,includingtheBookertwice,Mr.CareyfoundhimselfontheothersideofthefencewhenhisbiographyofWilliamGoldingwasnominatedforaJamesTaitBlackaward.Hiselationonlearningthathehadwonisdescribedwithendearingcandour:“Iwasfarmoremovedthanwasappropriateforsomeonewhoknewliteraryprizestobemeaningless.“Theshortfinalchapterprovidesrefreshinganswerstothequestion,“WhyRead?”Itconcludes,“Readingisfreedom.Nowreadon.“36．WecanlearnfromthefirstparagraphthatJohnCareyis______.A．a(chǎn)professorandbeekeeperB．a(chǎn)teacher,aswellasapoetC．a(chǎn)nauthorandbookreviewerD．a(chǎn)writer,bookreviewerandprofessor正確答案：D解析：根據(jù)題干定位到第一段第一行：JohnCarey，for30yearsaprofessorofEnglishliteratureatOxford；thiswell—knownbookreviewerandauthor．根據(jù)這兩個句子可以概括JohnCarey的身份，是professor，bookreviewerandauthor，即“教授”“書評家”和“作家”，即[D]為正確答案。37．Theword“devoured”(Line1,Para.2)mostprobablymeans______.A．a(chǎn)tegreedilyB．readeagerlyC．wrotewidelyD．watchedhappily正確答案：B解析：該題中devoured的原意是“狼吞虎咽地吃”，即ategreedily，但是在文章背景中，指代readeagerly。上文的句子給出明確提示：havingreadalmosteverythingthereistoread…下文進(jìn)一步說明他讀過哪些作品，故可以確定此處devoured的意思是“readeagedy”，與其余各項無關(guān)，即該題答案為[B]。38．WecanlearnfromthesecondparagraphthatMr.Carey______.A．readextensivelyandlearneddiligentlyB．a(chǎn)imedatlearnin
