24、，以及其它从太阳中汲取能量的“”，这应该指的是地球上各种物理或化学变化过程，因此 C为正确答案。A.downB.aroundC.toD.by 解析：本题涉及介词用法。Dby 常指增长或减少的幅度，正好符合句意的要求，故为正确答案。A.in B.ofC.toD.with解析：本题涉及介词的用法。一般说，描述某个东西数量增加或减少，介词均应为 in，故 A为答案。A.rarelyB.badlyC.actuallyD.poorly 解析：本题考查熟悉词汇的准确理解。D(不充分地，不足地)最符合句意，为正确答案。A (很少)，B(非常)。A.monitoring B.observingC.measur
25、ingD.recording解析：本题涉及词汇知识及上下文的理解。根据句意，A(监控)应为答案，其它语义不准确，皆排除。A.nothing butB.nothing thanC.anything elseD.anything but 解析：本题考查固定短语知识。依据空格上下文，D(决不是)为正确答案。A(绝对是)，B (正是)，C(其它)。A.now thatB.in caseC.only if D.even after解析：本题考查上下文语义的连贯理解。上句(Not so fast.)中，研究人员说太阳热量增加不一定使地球温度再次升高，除非地球气候系统一切保持不变。表达这种必要条件关系的选项
26、为 C(只有)。其它项均排除。A.pointsB.stations C.establishmentsD.bases解析：根据 16题空格所在句可知，本空格应该指的是科研监控站，故 B应为答案。A (点)，C(建制)，D(基地)都不符合文意。A.reflectionB.radiation C.illuminationD.illustration解析：根据上下文语义，radiation(辐射)指的是地球反射回天空的热量，为正确答案。也可以参看第三段开头类似的说法。A 意为“反射，反映”，指的是动作本身，带人后语义不清。A.presents B.offersC.grantsD.provides解析：
27、本题涉及词语搭配知识。根据句意，A 项 present sb with sth(向某人显示，给某人带来)为正确答案。D 项虽然可以与 with搭配，但语义不当，应排除。A.ongoingB.outgoingC.incoming D.upcoming解析：本题考查词汇知识。根据句意，C(进来的，过来的)为答案项，A(进行着的)，B(外出的)，D(发生的，出现的)均不符句意。A.indicatedB.emphasizedC.describedD.quantified 解析：由于上文说地球往外辐射的能力还不太准确地为人了解，故空格应该说需要更好的量化，因此D(量化)为最佳选项。其它选项不妥，排除。A
28、.commitsB.demonstratesC.revealsD.represents 解析：根据句意(地球往外辐射的能力还是一个虽不太为人所知但却很重要的参数)，D(表现为，体现)符合语义，为答案项。A(做)，B(证明)，C(揭示)均为干扰项。A.blockingB.escapingC.gauging D.manifesting解析：本题考查考生词汇知识。C(测量)为正确答案。A.muchB.farC.everD.still 解析：本题考查比较级的语法知识。对比较级进一步加强语气可在比较级词前加几个副词，如：much，far，a lot，still 等，区别在于 still还可放在比较级词后
29、面，故 D为正确项A.AttentionB.WorriesC.Concerns D.Puzzles解析：根据句意(1974 年，人们首次表现出对太阳辐射量的担忧)，C 为正确答案。A(注意)意思虽对，但不能与句中谓语动词 raise搭配，故也排除。A.offset B.disruptC.restoreD.relieve解析：空格所在句为对比语义句。既然上半句说某些变化会加强(reinforce)热度，那么空格所在句就该是说还有些变化会抵消(offset)热度，故 A为答案。B(破坏)，C(恢复)，D(缓解)均要排除。A.At the bestB.At first glance C.At all
30、 eventsD.At any rate解析：本题涉及介词短语及对下文的理解。答案为 B(初一看)。A(充其量)，C 和 D皆为“无论如何”。A.trend B.treadC.trenchD.treaty解析：本题涉及词形相近的词汇的词义辨析。上文说“来到地球的热量不断增加”，这显然是一种趋势，故 A为正确答案。B(轮胎纹路)，C(壕沟)，D(条约)。二、BSection Readi(总题数：5，分数：10.00)21.The “underconnectivity theory“ attributes autism to_.（分数：2.00）A.disproportion of grey ma

32、ins for the origins of autism D.the roles of Brocas area and Wernickes area解析：本题涉及细节提问，问该论文的写作意图，C 项比 D项更彻底地说明了意图，而且，D 项中的“roles(作用) “也非论文的真正研究意图。故 C为答案。23.What will the succeeding paragraph, should there be one, most probably discuss?（分数：2.00）A.Efforts to examine other brain areas of autistic perso
33、ns. B.Ways to stimulate the growth of white matter wiring.C.Other problems autistic persons may suffer from.D.Mysteries why white matter is so important.解析：这是遭逻辑理解题。既然末端首句指出两位学者研究的局限性，后两句“But if.And if”义说如果“underconnectivity theory“在大脑其它部分也正确的话，自闭症(autism)之谜才能揭开。可以推论，下段中，作者会探讨自闭症病人大脑的其它部分的情况。显然答案为 A
34、。24.The authors attitude towards Dr. Just and Dr. Minshews work can be described as_.（分数：2.00）A.enthusiastic supportB.absolute neutralityC.slight suspicionD.moderate approval 解析：本题询问作者对两位博士研究工作的态度。依据全文，尤其段二的第二句“cast some light(具有一定的启发性)”，可知作者是初步认可的态度，故答案为 D(大概认同)。25.Which of the following is true ac

38、 oil contractor解析：本题涉及最后一段的主旨。仔细理解该段，第四句 But将段落语义一分为二，后面的内容显然是在反驳前两句沙特人所谓“石油供应不会中断”的说法，因此，本段主旨应为 B项。28.John Snows remarks are mentioned in the text to show_.（分数：2.00）A.his reluctance to get involvedB.Americans concern about the issue C.Washingtons hatred of the man at the pumpD.his attitude towards
39、the Saudi decision解析：这是一道细节意图题。依据第四段可知，引用 Snow的话语是为了说明主题句(美国人对该问题很关心)，所以答案为 B。29.It is implied in the second paragraph that _.（分数：2.00）A.high oil price sometimes results from inflation or slow growthB.Chinas growth has contributed to the rise of oil priceC.Japans demand of oil declined in the past m

B.Saudi Arabia objected to the rise of oil price.C.Saudi Arabia

42、“.B.“PCs infected“.

43、f the company D.to cancel some websites hated by terrorists解析：这是一道推论题，问这次攻击的目的可能是什么。依据第五段的第二句可以推断，这帮家伙的意图可能是敲诈(make some demands)，故答案为 C。其它几项意思与原文有差距33.The onset of a new generation of computer attacks was marked by _.（分数：2.00）A.an organization of gangsB.the infection of PCsC.the sale of a softwareD

46、ent解析：本题涉及引用 Neil的言论的意图。文章第七和第八段分别介绍了 Cluley和 Neil对网络攻击的背后意图的不同看法。由此可见，引用 Neil的话是为了显示专家对袭击意图的不同理解，故答案为 A。五、BText 4/B(总题数：5，分数：10.00)36.The performances in relation to Whorfs claim of the Dani and the Piraha are_.（分数：2.00）A.complementaryB.identicalC.similarD.opposite 解析：本题考查局部信息的理解能力，问“相对于 Whorf的说法，两个民族的实际表现怎么样?”。第三段中 the Dani民族的认识能力没有被语言所限定；而末两段中 the Piraha民族由于语言中数字的限定，不能有效地回答 DrGordon 为他们所设定的问题，从而表明语言限定了他们的认识能力。可知，答案为D。37.It is s
