【第二部分】
16 C 本文没有述及engineering ethics是一门必修课，也没有提到美国所有的理工院校都开设了这门学科。
17 B 第一段最后一句谈到，想修这门学科的学生的人数在不断增加，而本题却说在不断减少，所以给出的信息是错误的。
18 B the National Science Foundation(全美科学基金会)只是为编写有关工程道德问题的教学材料提供经费，并没有亲自动手编写。因此，本题给出的信息是错误的。
19 A 本题给出的信息是正确的。第二段有一句相关的句子：This discipline will doubtless take its place alongside such well-established fields as medical ethics，business ethics，and legal ethics.从这个句子可以看到，medical ethics，business ethics和legal ethics都是well-established的，其地位也已确立了。engineering ethics这门学科的地位也将会确立下来。mature这个用词是从本句的含义中引申出来的。
20 C 通常文章都没有提到教授离职的问题。
21 A 本题给出的信息是正确的，根据是第二段的句子：Many engineering faculty members do not think that they have the time…in their own schedules to prepare the necessary material.
22 A 本题给出的信息是正确的，根据是第三段的最后一句：Hopefully，the resources presented herein will be of assistance.(希望这里提供的资料会有所帮助。)
【第三部分】
23 C 本段简略地叙述了雨水的来源和形成雨滴的核心部分。
24 A 本段介绍了Langmir和Schaefer受雇于通用电器公司(General Electric Company)，研究机翼结冰的成因。
25 D 本段描述了Schaefer从事的人工制造冰晶体的实验，但没有成功。
26 E 一次偶然的机会，Schaefer在投入干冰的时候，呼出一大口气，结果冰晶体却出现了。他在无意中发现了制造冰晶体的方法。
27 D 答案的依据在第一段：In ancient times，rainmakers had claimed to bring rain by many methods：dancing，singing，killing animals(including humans)。句中提到的作为造雨、求雨的手段的dancing，singing，killing animals(including humans)等都不是科学的方法。
28 E 答题的解释请参阅第26题的说明。
29 C 答案的依据在第七段：After planning carefully，Schaefer made an experiment by drop-ping dry ice from his plane to the clouds below him.As was expected，snow formed and fell from the bottom of the cloud.Schaefer succeeded。
30 B 答案的依据在第二段：But exactly what starts the formation of raindrops was not known until quite recently。
【第四部分】

33 C 海洋在什么时候失去生态平衡：A 人们比以前吃鱼多的时候;B 河流失去生态平衡时;C 大量海藻、鱼和鸟类被杀死时;D 海洋石油生产量增加。

40 B 尽管美国的家庭结构已发生了巨大变化：A 婚姻的功能没有变化;B 大多数美国人仍对婚姻有信心;C 多数美国人喜欢再婚;D 以上全部。
41 A 文章第一段明确说明了小卒中发生的原因，因此答案为A。
42 C 文章第二段和第三段分别提到，在小卒中发生之后，最为重要的是及时就医，以避免中风的发生。
43 B 文章第三段表明许多人得了小卒中却没有意识到这一点，第四段中又指出小卒中的症状时常是subtle，即难以捉摸的，因此答案先B。
44 D 文章中指出没有明确原因的头疼可能是发生小卒中的症状之一，而此处明确指出是由外伤引起的头疼，故选项D为答案。
45 B 文章表明小卒中常在人们不知不觉的情况下发生并可能造成极大的伤害，因此答案选B.
【第五部分】
46 F 选项F的some of whom didn't(use sunscreen)与“空白”前面的some of whom used sunscreen是平行结构。平行结构是一种连接手段，也是一种提示，说明平行结构在意思上的紧密联系。此外，将some of whom didn't填入此处，上下文意思连贯。
47 E “空白”所在的句子是解释为什么Using sunscreen sensibly is more important than ever。所以要用sunscreen防晒，是因为sunlight is growing more hazardous。
48 C “空白”所在的句子的意思是：当你是儿童时过多地晒太阳似乎增加了在将来某某时候患上皮肤癌的可能性。选项C的内容you're older填入此处上下文意思很连贯。此外，平行结构when you're a kid和when you're older也是一种提示。
49 B 第四句在解释ultraviolet light时说，ultraviolet light的光波太短了，短到看不见了。“空白”所在的第三句在解释visible light，说visible light是一种某某性质的光波，而选项B提供的内容people can see正好说明visible light的性质。
50 A “空白”前面的句子说：紫外线破坏了人的与疾病作斗争的免疫系统，使身体无能力修复受损害的细胞，这些细胞就会无限制地分裂。In other words(换句话说)提示，填入此处的内容应该是对上面的意思作另一种解释。无限制地分裂的细胞就是癌细胞，所以，they may become cancerous是填入此处的答案。
【第六部分】
文章大意：大多数实习医生从医学院毕业后的第一年开始都受到过虐待，包括被老资格的医生羞辱、恐吓或是殴打。
51 D 选项D构成一个动名词短语being threatened，与前面的humiliation和后面的physical abuse共同构成介词including的宾语。其他选项都不能作为介词宾语。
52 B the已提示后面必须跟一个名词性词项，单填responses在这里还不行，因为本题后面还跟有responses的对象，因此responses后面还要有介词to。填B构成短语responses to a 13-page survey，意为“对一份有13页调查问卷的回答”。
53 B 填analysis与survey并列作为本句主语，既是语法的需要，也是修辞的需要。其他选项均不合适。
54 A 关系代词who指代人，在从句中做主语。
55 B 要弄懂整句的意思才能做出选择。这一句的意思是：“除了报告他们受虐待以外，45%以上的住院医生还说他们至少还目睹过一例其他人填写假病历的情况”。只有填in addition to才能符合这个意思。
56 A 填had made在语法上表示“过去的过去”：被调查人“说”在句中是用一般过去时(said)，那么他们报告的情况发生在“过去的过去”。填B不行，因为have made表示的是以现在的眼光说明已发生的事。
57 C 既然前面有a frequent，那么这里必然需要一个单数名词。event在语法和意义上都符合这个要求。
58 B 选项C和D道德应该被排除，因为在语法上说不通。如填A，相关的意义是“10%以上的住院医生说他们被允许不要有充足的睡眠”，好像他们自己不想多睡一会似的!只有B才能表示不让他们睡够的意思。
59 A 根据整句话由两个并弄的句子构成without，指连续工作而不得不到睡眠的时间。
60 B 这句话由两个并列的句子构成，用but作转折连词。它的意思很清楚：前一句说的是正常情况，后一句说的是实际情况。填typical构成“一个典型的工作周”，意思就对了。其他的选项意思都对不上。
61 C 要读懂整句的意思：30%的人怎么说，而大多数人反映的情况又是如何。in spite of意思上也可以，但语法上不符，所以填Although就把这种转折关系说明白了。
62 D 填were与主语they相一致，又与belittled构成被动语态。填are或be时态和证据不对，填must be意义又不对，都不行。
63 D 填give与前面的being构成被动语态的动名词短语，做主语。填其他选项都不符合语法。
64 C 填动名词having构成主语的一部分。
65 A 只有A项才符合句的意思。
