36、InthelastsentenceofParagraph1,"ourparticularcreature"refersto.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：文章第一段最后一句中提到“toone,rearofthedark,toanother,of

physicalpain?toathirdofpublicridicule,toafourth,ofpoverty,toIoneliness（for

allofusourparticularcreaturewaitsinahiddenplace“。可見(jiàn)，"ourparticularcrcaturc^^

講到的是一些擔(dān)心害怕的事情。舉了一些例子，如害怕黑暗，害怕身體的傷痛，公

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：變二段的第一句即本段的中心句，意思是說(shuō)，恐懼通常是一個(gè)有用的

flight.Similarly,whenadangerispsychologicalratherthanphysical,fearcanforce

youtotakeself?protective.“面對(duì)火災(zāi)和意外事故的時(shí)候，恐懼能夠使我們自救并逃

離，同樣地，當(dāng)一種危險(xiǎn)是心理上的而非身體的時(shí)候，恐懼能夠迫使我們進(jìn)行自我

保護(hù)。也就是說(shuō)只有心理上的恐懼才能使我們產(chǎn)生自我保護(hù)的意識(shí)。A項(xiàng)的意思是

說(shuō)“能夠刺激我們的身體產(chǎn)生很多物理變化”符合文意，B、C、D項(xiàng)只是我們生理

的變化，所以本題的正確答案為A。

38、Fearbecomesaproblemonlywhen.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：文章第二段"Itisonlywhenfearisdisproportionaltothedangerathand

thatitbecomesaproblem.”只有當(dāng)恐懼和即將來(lái)臨的危險(xiǎn)不相稱的時(shí)候，它就變成

了一個(gè)問(wèn)題。因此，A項(xiàng)“只有當(dāng)危險(xiǎn)被認(rèn)為比它實(shí)際更重大的時(shí)候，它就變成了

一個(gè)問(wèn)題”是符合文意的，所以應(yīng)該選A。

40、Psychologistshavefoundthatourlaterfearsaredeterminedlargelybyour.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：本題的答案在文章第四段，“psychologistsknowthatourearly

何時(shí)才會(huì)去提供幫助。一是在他認(rèn)為確實(shí)有緊急情況出現(xiàn)；二是只有自己一個(gè)人才

可以提供幫助才會(huì)幫助別人，因而選B。

部責(zé)任。

43、Theresearchershaveconductedanexperimenttoprovethatpeoplewillactin

emergencieswhen.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：c

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：推斷題。從第七、八段可知，當(dāng)只有一個(gè)人出現(xiàn)在緊急狀況周圍時(shí)，

他幫助的可能性最大，這種可能性是80%。

44、Themainreasonwhypeoplefailtoactwhentheystaytogetheristhat.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)3析：題干問(wèn)：“這篇文章主要講述了……”，此題考察本文的中心，正確選

項(xiàng)為C“歐盟在解決財(cái)政赤字時(shí)的進(jìn)退兩難”。而選項(xiàng)A”實(shí)施歐盟的規(guī)定”，選項(xiàng)

B”某些歐盟成員國(guó)對(duì)于赤字的虛假報(bào)告”和選項(xiàng)D“實(shí)施歐盟的金融政策”，雖然在

文中部分提及，但都不是文章的中心。

47、ThefateoftheEurogroup'sprescriptionsismanifestedinthefactthatFranceand

Germany

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：題干問(wèn)：“歐盟規(guī)定的命運(yùn)在事實(shí)中表現(xiàn)出來(lái)，這一事實(shí)是法國(guó)和德

國(guó)……正確選項(xiàng)為A“拒絕遵從它的規(guī)定”，此題定位于第2自然段，且第3自

然段也講到了這一點(diǎn)。而選項(xiàng)B”反對(duì)一些小國(guó)家”，選項(xiàng)C“重新考慮它們的財(cái)政

赤字”和選項(xiàng)D“將財(cái)政赤字降到限額內(nèi)”都不符合題干的要求。

48、Theexpression"Thisoutcome"(Paragraph3)meansthat

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析:題干問(wèn)：“這個(gè)表達(dá)叮hisoutcome，的意思是……正確選項(xiàng)為D“這

個(gè)協(xié)議不可能得到保證”，這是一個(gè)語(yǔ)境的歸納題，定位在第3自然段。而選項(xiàng)

A“一些新的建議將會(huì)受到歡迎”，選項(xiàng)B“小國(guó)家反對(duì)這個(gè)做法”和選項(xiàng)C“某些限制

正在失去效用”都不是這個(gè)表達(dá)在上下文的含義。

49、Fromthefirstparagraph,wecanseethatDaveIrvine-Halliday.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：文章第一段說(shuō)，當(dāng)哈利德到達(dá)尼泊爾遙遠(yuǎn)的小村莊時(shí)，他發(fā)現(xiàn)村民們

正用他留給他們的發(fā)光二極管的燈來(lái)工作和學(xué)習(xí)。

50、TheauthorimpliesthatvillagerslikedLEDbulbsverymuch,becausethey.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：這是一道引申判斷題。第二段提到，村民們每晚用電4個(gè)小時(shí)，然后

用腳踏的方式來(lái)給電池充電。可以想象，在一個(gè)遙遠(yuǎn)的小村莊，這可能是最理想的

充電方式了。

51、WhatdoesIrvine-HaltidaythinkofLEDs?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析?：第二段接著說(shuō)，發(fā)光二極管比愛(ài)迪生的白熾燈具有更大的優(yōu)越性，所

以哈利德期待它能取代白熾燈成為世界的主要人造光源。

52、Whichofthefollowingstatementsdoesnotagreewiththefactsinthepassage?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。第三段說(shuō)，10年前一位日本工程師研制出了藍(lán)色

發(fā)光二極管，這個(gè)小小的進(jìn)展具有極大的影響，因?yàn)樗{(lán)、綠、紅是組成彩虹的主要

顏色。

53、Thepassageimpliesthat.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：這道題需要分析判斷。最后一段說(shuō)，研制出節(jié)能、廉價(jià)、美觀的白色

發(fā)光二極管是一個(gè)艱巨的挑戰(zhàn)。再聯(lián)想到文章前面提到，美國(guó)的交通指示燈換上了

節(jié)能耐用的二極管，而發(fā)展中國(guó)家還都在用白熾燈。那么新能源的癥結(jié)就是不廉

價(jià)，這一判斷與A項(xiàng)相符。
