  第一部分:

  1C 2D 3B 4B 5D 6C 7D 8D 9C 10B 11D 12C 13A 14C 15D

  第二部分:

  16 A

  文章第一段说在美国有多达20%的儿童患有读写困难症,“one out of five”的意思是“每五个人中有一个”,即20%的人。

  17 C

  文中仅提到爱因斯坦和爱迪生为读写困难症患者,并未讲有许多类似情况。

  18 A

  文章第二段提到欧洲和美国在80多年以前首次发现读写困难症患者。

  19 B

  第二段讲到大多数人的左脑比右脑大,而患有读写困难症的人则刚好相反。

  20 A

  第二段说有研究表明男人比女人更易患读写困难症,惯用左手者比惯用右手者更易患读写困难症,据此我们可以推断该句是正确的。

  21 C

  读写困难症的成因尚不清楚,但有些科学家认为该病是由早在婴儿出生之前即在其体内发生的化学变化所致,并未提及与其母亲的不良习惯有关。

  22 A

  文章最后一句话说在解决了语言方面的问题之后,得过读写困难症的人往往表现出超人的智慧和创造力。

  第三部分:

  23 A

  第一段第一句和最后一句告诉我们学语言是有技巧的。第一段是一个总的说明,并没有说这些技巧是什么样的技巧。因此,A是合适的选择。

  24 D

  第二段第一句跟D是一个意思,E来自第二段的最后一句,但是从错误(mistakes)中学到一些东西并不是独立学习的全部,因此不是最合适的选择。

  25 C

  第三段第一句跟C表达的是一个意思。F在第三段的最后一句中能找到,但这也只是积极学习的一个方面。

  26 B

  第四段第一句跟B在表达上有异,但意思相同。

  27 E

  答案可以从第二段中找到,derive conclusions from clues跟look for clues and form their own conclusions意思差不多。

  28 A

  整个句子跟第二段第三句表达的意思差不多。

  29 C

  答案来自第三段第二句。第三段讲到有主动精神的人是不怕说出一些古怪的事的。但从中并不能推出他们总是抓住一切机会说怪事。因此F不是合适的选择。另外,第三段的最后一句话讲到用所学语言思维比知道每个词的意义更重要,因此B也不可能是合适的选择。

  30 D

  答案可以从最后一段中的最后一句话里找到。第四部分:

  31 B

  本文在第一段第二句中列举了从气象图上可以确定的信息,其中“the speed of air masses”即A选项,“fronts”即C选项,“whether an individual pressure area”即D选项,惟有B所包含的信息不在列举之列,所以此题的正确答案应当为B。

  32 A

  本文第二段最后一句明确指出“These 30-day outlooks are based upon an analysis of the upper air levels with often set the stage for the development of air masses,fronts,and storms”,所以本题的正确答案应当为A。

  33 D

  本文第二段第二句提到运用卫星,科学家可以对只有很少气象站的地区的气象进行分析、判断,这与答案D意思相近,所以本题正确答案应当为D。

  34 A

  由第一段最后一句中的“thus”可推知,此句中的“synoptic picture of conditions”是前面几句中提到的天象图各种信息作用的综合,所以A的意思最准确。

  35 D

  文中第三段第三句说“在改造天气的研究中人们进行了许多实验”,D项与此意相符,所以选项D为正确答案。

  36 B

  本题问的是2006年初美国许多移民涌入街道,他们要求受到怎样的对待?答案可以从第一段的第二句话中找到,这句话说的是:许多移民举着标语和美国国旗,要求按公民而不是罪犯对待。

  37 C

  本题问的是一些加拿大官员想把门开着的原因是什么?答案可以从第二段中找到。前三句话是这么说的:加拿大官员说移民申请继续高涨。一些官员想把门开着。他们需要劳动力。

  38 D

  本题问的是西班牙政府决定做什么?答案可以从第三段中找到。第一句话是这么说的:随着大批的无证非洲移民来到加里那群岛并且没有减弱的迹象,西班牙政府决定采取严厉的措施。

  39 C

  本题问的是法国的新的移民和融入法案生效后,会发生什么情况?答案可以从最后一句中找到。这句话是这么说的:但是有些人担心,这个法案会导致发展中国家的人才流失。

  40 A

  本题问的是第一段中的短语“rounding up”由哪个词替换最合适? “round up”是“逮捕、捕捉”的意思。A项与此意相符,所以正确答案应当为A。

  41 B

  根据文章第二段的内容,我们可以看到警察必须懂得刑法,因为他必须确切知道什么行为是犯罪,什么样的证据可以在法庭上使用,B选项与此意相符。所以正确答案应当为B。

  42 A

  从文章的整个内容来看,它讲到的是作为一个警察有很多令人痛苦压抑的事情。所以选项A最符合题意。

  43 B

  根据文章的第四段和第五段,可以看到抓获犯罪分子只是工作的开端,之后他们必须花费大量的时间和精力去收集证据。选项B与此意相符。所以正确答案应当为B。

  44 C

  根据文章的倒数第二段,我们可以看到,作为一名警察,他既要遵守法律,又必须获得结果,而他们又往往很难两者兼顾。所以让警察最头疼的事情应该是选项C所表述的内容。本题正确答案为C。

  45 D

  从文章最后一段的前面三句话,可以看到,因为警察必须撒谎,结果就是世人也不相信他们,不肯对他们说真话,使他们感觉到与世界隔离了。选项D与题意相符,所以正确答案应当为D。

  第五部分:

  46 D

  本段介绍贝多芬早年生平。前一句话说他的父亲对他要求十分严厉,而且酗酒成性。D说当他母亲亡故后,还是一个年轻人的贝多芬成为他两个小弟弟的监护人。把D放在这里意思连贯,是最合适的选项。

  47 B

  本段介绍贝多芬成年后坎坷的遭遇,选B最合适。

  48 A

  A句中的“this handicap”承接上段,指上段最后一句话提到的耳聋这一残疾,全句的意思是说贝多芬身残志坚,继续音乐创作。原文后一句列举了贝多芬的音乐成就,此处选A与上下文衔接自然,意思连贯。

  49 C

  到此为止,作者介绍完了贝多芬的生平,需要做一个简单的概括。C说“他的一生是热切追求独立的一生”,放在此处正合适。

  50 E

  本段第一句提到歌德对贝多芬性情的评价,说他狂躁易怒,性情不羁。E说尽管贝多芬的性情狂躁不羁,但他的音乐却极有分寸,这也是他最值得我们怀念的地方。

  第六部分:

  文章大意:政府车辆使用的改革能够真正减少办公费用支出吗?虽然部分地区政府已经朝着改革的方向有所行动,但是,并没有报告显示支出减少这样的结果。一项研究表明,税收政策的改革越多,税率也会发生相应的调整。现在,唯一能够防止政府车辆改革发生恶性循环的方法就是更高级别政府机关能够对地方财政进行严格而透明的监管。

  51 A

  on this account或者on that account的意思是为了这个缘故或者为了那个缘故,是固定搭配。

  52 B

  indicating such an outcome这个短语作为名report的定语出现,说明这个report是什么样的,所以要用的不是谓语动词,而是一个作定语的分词,在indicating和indicated中应该选择主动语态的indicating。

  53 C

  从上下文的语境中我们可以看出,杭州政府启动了一项改革,从意义上来看,只有launch符合要求,其他选项都是表示“结束”的意思。在这里,launch表示“开始,启动”的意思。

  54 A

  involve in后面应该跟动名词或者名词,C选项中的maintenance虽然是名词形式,但后面应该加of,所以只有A是合适的选项。

  55 A

  such用作前置限定词时,其后通常跟a及一单数可数名词,表示“这样的、这种的、此类的”。such that表示“如此……以致……”。

  56 A

  介词by表示通过某种方式,by these measures是表示“通过这些措施”的意思。

  57 D

  引导同位语从句时用关系连词that。在本句中,that引导的同位语从句具体解释了fact的内容。

  58 D

  ask for有“索求”的意义,在这个句子中比较合适。其他选项provide,offer和supply都有“给予”的意义,用在这一语境中不成立。

  59 A

  两个小句之间是因果关系,because引导的小句表示的是原因,而therefore和thus都只能引导表示结果的小句。because of后面只能是名词或者名词性质的短语。

  60 C

  这句话说的是纳税人因为担心决策者作出有悖于他们利益的事而要求政策制定有透明度。satisfied表示“满意的”,不符合原句意义上的要求,由于同样的原因,pleased指“高兴的”,以及confused“疑惑的”也不符合。

  61 B

  根据语境,作者的意思是低级的公务员比高级公务员出差更多,因此补贴办法是不合理的。

  62 D

  whether引导表示“是否”的宾语从句,that引导表示陈述句的宾语从句。

  63 C

  不定式to increase表示目的,“这项改革只有官员用车补的形式提高自己收入的一种手段”。

  64 A

  levy在这里是“征税”的意思。

  65 B

  原意是“严格而透明的监管”,因此“不透明的”、“模糊的”、“模棱两可的”都不符合要求。
