第一部分：
1D 2D 3A 4B 5B 6B 7C 8A 9A 10C 11A 12D 13B 14C 15 C
第二部分：
16 A
文章第一段说随着经济、社会和技术的发展，厨房不仅要美观，而且要实用，另外还得满足现代家庭的需要。
17 C
第二段说环境因素对厨房设计有重要影响，但并没有说对环境无害是厨房设计中第一位的因素。
18 A
第四段说在选择橱柜时请首先考虑风格，但是因为购买橱柜是一笔不小的投资，所以最好还是选择质量。
19 B
第五段说由于许多现代家庭是两个人或更多的人一起下厨，因此需要更大的操作台，更多的灶头和洗涤槽，而不是因为烹调的过程变复杂了。
20 A
第五段最后一句话说洗涤槽是厨房内使用最多的区域之一，也是一个重要的“装饰声明”。这里作者运用了比喻的手法，把在洗涤槽的设计中体现出来的设计者的聪明才智比作一个声明。
21 C
倒数第二段说家电技术的发展日新月异，选择什么样的电器和购买多少数量的电器应根据您下厨时间的多少和厨房的大小而决定，但没有提到因为家用电器可以节省体力就应该及时更换最新的型号。
22 B
文章最后一段建议同一种电器可以购买一台以上，这主要由您厨房的大小和收入的多少来决定，而不是下厨时间的多少。
第三部分：
23 B
该段的前两句讲到新加坡岛地势情况，接下来叙述的是该国的气候情况。
24 C
这一段是在叙述国家的体制，即State System。
25 A
该段的内容很明显，是在讲新加坡的教育情况。
26 E
该段的第一句话说的是：新加坡在众多亚洲国家中享有较高的生活水平，下面的每句话都围绕这一主题展开论述，“新加坡人民生活水平高”说明经济发达。
27 B
文中第一段讲到新加坡由一个大岛和五十个小岛组成，原文用的是consist of和madeup of同义，但用法不同。
28 D
第三段讲到现在新加坡的总统不是由议会选举的。而是由老百姓直接选举的。在选项中用的是select(挑选)这个词。
29 A
最后一段的第一句话说新加坡的生活水平在亚洲最高。

从前三段可知，虽然现在每个人仍然都能编辑维基百科中的词条，但其中的一些页面在得到一个“经验丰富”的编辑批准前不会变化。
37 C
第七段说，维基百科新近出台的限制条件冒着降低网民合法编辑词条的积极性这一风险，为了规避这一风险，维基百科把所谓的“经验丰富的编辑”标准设定得很低。
38 D
Robert Byrd是美国民主党的参议员，最近维基百科中关于他的词条被人篡改，错误地宣布他已经死亡。
39 C
从文中可知维基百科现在的对编辑词条的限制条件过于宽松，以致造成了许多尴尬情况发生。
40 D
从最后一段可知，Pierre Omidyar是eBay的创始人，因此D为正确答案。
41 C根据本篇文章，核能的危险性在于：A核的隐蔽性;B辐射线的探测;C核辐射;D辐射强度。
42 B
即使最低强度的辐射也能造成严重后果的条件是：A当它杀死为数不多的细胞时;B如果它损伤为数不多的细胞的话;C虽然被损伤的细胞可以自行恢复;D如果被损伤的细胞不繁殖的话。
43 A
在第三段中，“significant’’最可能的含义是：A致命的;B有意义的;C值得注意的;D有害的。

第五部分：
46 C
第一段的第一句讲的是：越来越多的人过着单身的生活。第二句是讲过单身生活的原因。C也是一种过单身生活的原因。因此填入C是连贯的。
47 E
第二段的第一句讲的是：一个典型的过单身生活的人既非年长，也非孤独。这是主题句。主题句后面应是具体的说明。E是具体的说明，因而是正确的答案。
48 B
B是合适的选择，因为上一句是这么说的：随着人们能找到更好的工作，经济上变得更加独立，他们就越有可能保持住单人的家庭。
49 F
上一句是Nina Hagiwara说的话，David C’Debaca表示同意。下面是他说的话，因而F是合适的选择。
50 D
最后一段的第一句是这么说的：儿童认为，长大意味着想干什么就干什么。D说的是：似乎今天许多大人正在实现这种童年时的梦想。
第六部分：
文章大意：西班牙足球俱乐部马塞罗那队为罗纳尔多付了3，500万美元。他在1999年第一次为国家队踢球，但在2002年的世界杯上他才显示出了自己真正的价值，在巴西和英国的四分之一比赛中，以一个令人难以置信的任意球拿下了英国队。
51 D
上文说到，“……他们不是在买一张漂亮的脸”，这就排除了“handsome”(漂亮的)、“good-looking”(好看的)和“attractive”(迷人的)。因此“ugly”(丑的)是合适的选择。
52 A
从上文可以看出，这是一个强调句。因此“do”是合适的选择。整个句子说的是：我确实有的是魅力。
53 C
第二段是讲Ronaldinho的魅力所在。不难看出，“amazing”(令人吃惊的)是最佳选择。“dangerous”(危险的)，“frightening”(可怕的)，“awful”(可怕的)均不合适。
54 C
“that”，“which”，“who”填入后生成的都是不合格的句子，“what”大致相当于“that which”。
55 B
“showing them off”是“表现自己”的意思，是固定的说法。
56 C
当Gremio跟还是七岁的Ronaldinho签订了一个合同时，当然是“期待”着重大的事情会发生。因而“expected”是合适的选择。
57 A
上文说的是：是Ronald0首先叫他Ronaldinho。接着是解释“Ronaldinho”是什么意思，因而“means”是合适的选择。
58 D
打球和足球都用“play”，如：“play basketball”(打篮球)，“play volleyball”(打排球)和“play football”(踢足球)。
59 B
第二段有这样一句话：The 23-year-old striker scored two goals in a 3-2 win over Deportivo La Coruna on March l.(在三月一日的以3比2胜Deportivo La Coruna的比赛中，23岁的中锋得了两个球。)在那个英文句子中，也出现了“over”这个介词。这是提示。
60 C
该段的最后一个句子是这么说的：是本能发出指令的。因此用“improvisation”(即兴)比较合适。“imagination”是“想像”，“hypotheses”是“假设”，“assumptions”也是“假设”的意思。
61 D
从该句最后一句中“enjoying the city’s nightlife”(享受该市的夜生活)可以看出，合适的选择是“playboy”(花花公子)。
62 C
“足球”跟“俱乐部”搭配，其实，这一信息从第一段的第一个句子也能找到。因此“club”是正确的选择。
63 B
从上文和下文都可以判断，Ronaldinho是最“麻烦”(difficult)的球员。
64 D
“problem”，“question”，“issue”说成中文都是“问题”。但是，“problem”说的是一种情况，这种情况很难办。“question”是指事情不清楚，需要问一问或需要考虑。“issue”常指争论的问题。可见，在这个语境中“problem”是最合适的。
65 A
“himseIf”，“herself”，“yourself”填入空格后生成的都不合格的句子。“enjoy life”是“享受生活”的意思。
