24、：0.50）A.andB.but C.moreoverD.for解析：试题分析 本题是句意辨析题。详细解答 此处句意有转折，意为“(但是)甚至最高等的猿类也不会”，从 even一词应该能判断此处是转折，而非并列、递进、或因果关系。3.（分数：0.50）A.sinceB.forC.becauseD.because of 解析：试题分析 本题是结构题。详细解答 此词后接的是名词，因为 it provided是用来修饰 the physical comforts的，能接名词的惟有 because of，另三项都只能接从句。4.（分数：0.50）A.sourceB.beginningC.startD.
25、origin 解析：试题分析 本题是语义辨析题。详细解答 source 意为“来源”，beginning，start 均表示“开始”，origin 有“起源，由来”之意。按其后 No doubt it began very gradually一句来看，语言的“开始”或“来源”均不好理解。本句意为“(人们)也不清楚语言的起源”。5.（分数：0.50）A.could draw B.should drawC.was able drawD.was drawing解析：试题分析 本题是结构题。详细解答 should 表示“应该”，could 表示“能够”，此处应指原始人“能够”在洞壁画图。C 项结构错误
26、，应是 was able to draw， D 项使用过去进行时既无必要也不正确。6.（分数：0.50）A.isB.wasC.has been D.is being解析：试题分析 本题是时态题。详细解答 从 in the development of man应能判断此处用现在时，而且应是表示很长一个时期直到现在的，因为人类至今仍在发展。所以使用现在完成时。7.（分数：0.50）A.A. theB.an C.thatD.one解析：试题分析 本题是结构题。详细解答 句意指“农业使人口的迅猛增长成为可能”。在中心词的定语之前应使用不定冠词表示泛指，是固定用法，定冠词与 one是特指。8.（分数：0
27、.50）A.likeB.withC.as D.by解析：试题分析 本题是固定搭配题。详细解答 serve as 此处指“用来做”，是固定搭配，其余选项均不成立。9.（分数：0.50）A.a stageB.a step C.a developmentD.a way解析：试题分析 本题是词义辨析题。详细解答 stage 指“发展的进程，阶段或时期”；development 指“发展”；way 指“路线”；按句意，“农业是人类发展进程中无可比拟的重要一步”，应该是指前进的“一步”而非“一个阶段”，step 指“步骤”。10.（分数：0.50）A.too longB.such longC.as lon
28、gD.so long 解析：试题分析 本题是结构题。详细解答 修饰 long的可用副词，such 不行；此处 as long不是固定词组，应该是“as long as”，tooto 是固定结构，此处不成立。只有用 so来修饰。11.（分数：0.50）A.ThoseB.These C.ThereD.They解析：试题分析 本题是指代题。详细解答 此处只有 these能指代上句提到的 the regions。12.（分数：0.50）A.should gradually increaseB.gradually increaseC.gradually increased D.has gradually
29、 increased解析：试题分析 本题是时态题。详细解答 本句不是虚拟语气，句意是“我们猜想他为了不同的目的逐渐增加哭叫的次数”，很明显这是表示过去的一个过程，应该使用一般过去时。13.（分数：0.50）A.until B.withC.forD.to解析：试题分析 本题是结构题。详细解答 本句意为“农业是人类发展进程中的重要一步，其后没有任何东西可与之媲美，直到我们现在的工业时代。”not until 是固定结构，表示“直到才”。14.（分数：0.50）A.the latter B.the laterC.the secondD.the latest解析：试题分析 本题是词义辨析题。详细解答
30、本句意为“尽管没人确切地知道何时获得后者的用法的”。表示“后者”应用 the latter；the later 指“更迟的，更后的”，是比较级；the second 是序数词；the latest 是最高级，指“最近的”。15.（分数：0.50）A.of whichB.thatC.whichD.what 解析：试题分析 本题是句型结构题。详细解答 此处应该用引导词将 prey he hoped to catch一句构成 show的宾语从句，what 和 which都能成立。但是 which指“哪个”，what 指“什么样的”，从句意分析，应该指“他希望捕猎什么样的猎物”，因此用 what。16
31、.（分数：0.50）A.even ifB.even C.even thoughD.even as解析：试题分析 本题是词义辨析题。详细解答 even if 与 even though同义，均表示“即使”；even as 表示“正如”；此处句意应表示让步，即“甚至有最专业的指导”，even 作副词时有加强语气的作用，相当于让步关系。17.（分数：0.50）A.at whichB.in which C.on whichD.with which解析：试题分析 本题考查介词的用法。详细解答 向方向前进可使用“in the direction”，将本句修正为原语序是“he had gone in whi
32、ch direction”。18.（分数：0.50）A.after B.withC.beforeD.at解析：试题分析 本题是考查介词的用法。详细解答 按照句意，应指“那些在每次收获后仍能自然恢复土壤肥沃的地区。”如果是在收获之前土壤肥沃，就没有必要用“only those”来表示了。所以此处应用 after。19.（分数：0.50）A.with the respectB.on this respectC.in this respect D.at this respect解析：试题分析 本题是固定搭配题。详细解答 in this respect 表示“在这方面”，是固定搭配。20.（分数：0.
33、50）A.thatB.at whichC.whichD.when 解析：试题分析 本题是结构题。详细解答 此句的主句是 It was a great day，其后应该是一个表示时间的状语从句，这样，只有用when引导时间状语从句是正确的选择。三、Section Reading Co(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、Part A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)五、Text 1(总题数：5，分数：10.00)21.The main task now facing ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists is _.（分数：2.0
34、0）A.to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and persuasionB.to arouse public awareness of the importance of environmental protectionC.to take radical measures to control environmental pollutionD.to improve the quality of life by enforcing environmental standards 解析：试题分析 本题为细节题。详细解答
35、从文中第三段可以看到，the ecologists，the environmental activists and the conservationists一向以 communicate，stimulate thinking and promote behavioral change 为己任；但是现在，it is those of us who are paid to make the decisions to develop，improve and，enforce environmental standards，I submit，who must lead the charge即“首要任务是
36、强迫执行保标准以提高人们生活品质。”22.We can infer from the first two paragraphs that the industrialists disregard environmental protection chiefly because _.（分数：2.00）A.they are unaware of the consequences of what they are doingB.they are reluctant to sacrifice their own economic interests C.time has not yet come fo
37、r them to put due emphasis on itD.it is difficult for them to take effective measures解析：试题分析 本题为推理判断题。详细解答 要理解第二段第一句 It seems that only when government decides it can afford tax incentives or production sacrifices is there any initiative for change意为“好像只有政府下决心提供赋税激励或牺牲产量，才会有企业主动改变。”说明企业首先考虑的是经济利益，它们
38、不愿牺牲利润以保护环境。此外，在第一段能找到 A项的反证；而 C、D 项文中并未提到。23.Which of the following is true according to the last paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.Efforts should be exerted on pollution prevention instead of on remedial measure. B.More money should be spent in order to stop pollution.C.Ordinary citizens have no access to tech
39、nical information on pollution.D.Environmental degradation will be stopped by the end of this decade.解析：试题分析 本题是细节题。详细解答 从文中最后一句 We will then be able to spend pollution dollars truly on prevention rather than on bandages可以看出，A 项是有出处的。B 项未提到；C 项与文中 we must be able to communicate technical information
40、 in a form that citizens can understand一句正好意思相反；文中只说 maybe we can finally stop environmental degradation，并未确定 D项为事实。24.Which of the following, according to the author, should play the leading role in the solution of environmental problems?（分数：2.00）A.Legislation and government intervention.B.The indu
41、stry s understanding and support.C.The efforts of environmental health professional.D.The cooperation of ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists. 解析：试题分析 本题为作者观点题。详细解答 从文中 If ever there will be time for environmental health professionals to come to the frontlines and provide leaders

43、s from every perspective to make the objective decisions可知，“要从各方面综合考虑以制定客观的决定”，因此 tunnel-visioned是指“只看某一方面而不顾及其余。”六、Text 2(总题数：5，分数：10.00)26.In paragraph one, the phrase “hang back“ stands for“ _ “.（分数：2.00）A.cling toB.suspendC.frustrateD.hesitate 解析：试题分析 本题为指代题。详细解答 hang back 意为“犹豫不决”，四个选项中只有 D项有此意
44、，cling to 指“坚持(意见)，墨守(习惯)”，suspend 指“延缓”，frustrate 指“使感到灰心，阻止”。27.The passage is mainly about _.（分数：2.00）A.how to be a do - it - yourselferB.the Do - It - Yourself Movement C.the future of the Do - It - Yourself MovementD.the origin of the Do - It - Yourself Movement解析：试题分析 本题为意图理解题。详细解答 通读全文可发现，文章主
45、要谈论的是“Do - It - Yourself Movement”的兴起、如何 Do - It - Yourself以及 Do - It - Yourself Movement的前景，因此 A、C、D 三项都过于片面，B 项符合全文意图。28.The Do - It - Yourself Movement may not have a bright future; all of the following reasons are true except _.（分数：2.00）A.the high cost of labor B.the expense of toolsC.too much t
46、ime spent on itD.the wear and tear on the nerves解析：试题分析 本题为细节题。详细解答 文章最后提到“自己做事”运动前景并不光明时，讲了三个原因：太花时间，tools cost money，the wear and tear on the nerves，没有提到“人工费用”。29.As an amateur, you ll have to _ first.（分数：2.00）A.follow the instructions in magazinesB.get the right tools C.prepare fully psychologicallyD.ask a skilled craftsman s advice解析：试题分析 本题为细节题。详细解答 可在第二段中找到 All you need，it seems，is a hammer and a few nails及 The first thing the amateur learns is that he must have the right tools for the
