19、mbracedB.comprehendedC.introduced D.deduced解析：精析 本题考查词义辨析。embrace 拥抱，接受，采取；comprehend 理解，包含；introduce 介绍，引进，推行；deduce 演绎，推断。这里意思是“推行新法律以停止烟雾的释放”，能与 law 搭配表示“推行法律”的只有“introduce”。故选 C。A.situation B.stateC.circumstancesD.surroundings解析：精析 本题考查词义辨析。situation 主要指“情形”；state 强调的是“状态”；circumstance环境，境况；surr
20、ounding 强调“周围的环境”。前文在说伦敦的污染情况，从后面的“new laws”和“improve”可知后文说推行新法案之后得以好转的是污染情况。故选 A。A.sinceB.untilC.thoughD.but 解析：精析 本题考查连词。从后文的“new problem”可知这里的语气是转折，故选 D。A.little B.strongC.coldD.frequent解析：精析 本题考查对意思的理解。这句话的意思是“伦敦几乎没有刮风，污染增强了许多，这导致4 天之内发生了 160 起死亡”。如果刚开始不能判断这句话是什么意思，我们可以从后面的“导致 4 天之内发生了 160 起死亡”来
21、判断，既然导致了这么多死亡，说明污染很严重，如果前面是风力很强的话那么污染物会被扩散，污染强度会减少，也就不会有这么多死亡，这说明此空说的是没有刮风。故选 A。A.swelledB.increased C.expandedD.grew解析：精析 本题考查对意思的理解。swell，increase，expand 都含“扩大”、“增加”的意思。swell 侧重指“上下、左右、前后的面或体的伸展”；expand 强调“由于内在的压力或外加某物而使增高或加大至超过正常情况”；increase 指“尺寸、体积、数量或范围的增加”。这里导致人口死亡的原因一方面是没有风，污染物无法扩散；另一方面是污染本身在
22、增加。故选 B。A.Part B.MuchC.SomeD.All解析：精析 本题考查不定代词。这里的 problem 指的是前面所说“smog from cars”，所以此空应该填一个修饰可数名词的词，故排除 B；且驾车去购物并不是汽车尾气排放的唯一原因，所以不能选 D；这里 problem 为单数，故 C 项也不正确。part 部分在这里表示问题的其中一部分在于，且可修饰可数名词，符合题意。故选 A。A.droveB.wentC.walked D.cycled解析：精析 本题考查语境的分析。从后面的“near their homes”可知这里说的是步行去商店。故选C。A.MeanwhileB
23、.As a result C.NeverthelessD.Besides解析：精析 本题考查上下文语义的衔接。前文指出人们驾车去购物中心购物，必定会导致商店的减少或消失；空格前后为因果关系，故选 B。A.descendedB.decreasedC.disappeared D.departed解析：精析 本题考查上下文语义的衔接。从后文“more people have to go long way to do their shopping”可以推测出这里应是指小商店消失或减少了。decrease 常与 number 搭配；descend 指高度的降低，或遗产等传至下一代，均不合题意，故选 C。
24、A.keepB.do C.makeD.have解析：精析 本题考查固定搭配。do shopping 去购物。A.serviceB.trafficC.transport D.supplement解析：精析 本题考查近义词辨析。显然这里是在说公共交通，排除 A、D。但 B、C 两项均含“交通”之意，但 transport 侧重于指“交通设施”，traffic 侧重于指“交通流量”，这里是指更加便宜的交通设施。故选 C。A.retainB.removeC.replaceD.reduce 解析：精析 本题考查语境的分析。后文提到人们骑车还有共坐一辆小汽车去上班，由此可知前面说的是减少小汽车的使用。故项
25、 D。A.lightsB.paths C.parksD.signs解析：精析 本题考查对文意的推测。从后面的“ride to work”可知这里指的是自行车专行道。故选B。A.travel B.rushC.moveD.get解析：精析 本题考查动词的用法。travel to(以某种方式)行走或行驶；move to 移至，搬至；rush to 匆匆到，把急忙送去；get to 表示“到达”，后常跟表示“地点”的名词。这里指人们共用一辆小汽车去上班，突出的是行走或行驶的方式。故选 A。A.investmentB.expenses C.budgetD.consumption解析：精析 本题考查词义辨
26、析。investment 投资；expense 花费； budget 财政预算；consumption 消耗。共用一辆轿车去上班的好处是减少污染和开支。故选 B。A.oppositionB.protestC.action D.objection解析：精析 本题考杳词语的搭配。take action 采取行动，是固定短语。A.delayB.stopC.destroyD.prevent 解析：精析 本题考查对文意的理解。从上下文来看，这里的意思是“许多人想阻止在 Newbury 旁修一条新路”。prevent sb./sth阻止、妨碍某人/某事；prevent sb./sth.from doing
27、 sth防止某人/某物做某事。故选 D。A.in B.besideC.amongD.behind解析：精析 本题考查介词的使用。in 在之内；beside 在旁边； among 为所环绕，是其中之一；behind 在之后。trees 指很多树，这里应该是指在树林里建房子。故选 A。A.spentB.took C.costD.used解析：精析 本题考查词义辨析。A、B、C 三项均表花费之义，但三者用法有所不同：take 表示“花费”时，通常用 it 作形式主语，常用于“it takes sb. some time(money)to do sth或 doing sthtakes sb+时间”结构
28、，表示“做某事花了某人多少时间”；spend 表“花费时间/金钱”时主语是人，常用结构为：sb.spend time. money on sth/(in)doing sth；cost 表示“花费金钱”时主语是物，常用结构为 sthcosts(sb.)+金钱，某物花了(某人)多少钱，表示花费时间时常用结构为(doing)sthcosts(sb.)+时间，某物(做某事)花了(某人)多少时间；use“使用”，不表“花费”之意。由前面的让可知这里选 B项 took。A.soB.whenC.afterD.before 解析：精析 本题考查对文意的理解。把人们赶出树林这一动作是发生在继续修路这一动作之前的
29、，故连同用 before。故选 D。二、BSection Readi(总题数：5，分数：10.00)21.The writer became aware of her memory problem when she realized that she had _.（分数：2.00）A.forgotten to feed her fishB.forgotten to freeze her fishC.misplaced a bag of dinner fishD.misplaced a bag of tropical fish 解析：精析 细节题。文章第一段第一句说“It was the day
30、 I froze a household pet that I began to worry about my memory”，且从下文可知这里的“household pet”指的是一袋热带鱼，可知作者是在发现自己将热带鱼放错时意识到她的记忆问题的。故选 D。22.According to the writer, the memory books she read _.（分数：2.00）A.didnt help at allB.caused new problemsC.wouldn t work at once D.made her problem worse解析：精析 推理题。文章第三段最后
31、一句说自己所读的关于提高记忆的书一开始全都忘了，可推理出这些书并非立刻见效。故选 C。23.It can be inferred from the passage that ginkgo _.（分数：2.00）A.can improve memoryB.works after the first pillC.can produce several side effects D.causes mild stomach discomfort解析：精析 细节题。本题答案的原文在第四段第四、五行。24.The writer ate a tasteless diet for several days _
32、.（分数：2.00）A.as a result of her failing tasteB.as was advised by her doctorC.as a result of taking the drugD.as was warned on the package 解析：精析 推理题。文章第四段第五句话说包装上警告说这种药会引起胃不舒服，所以作者吃淡味的食物是因为包装上的警告，故选 D。25.The writer s tone can best be described as one of _.（分数：2.00）A.reliefB.humor C.worryD.solemnity解析：
33、精析 推理题。我们可以从文中的几处看出作者写这篇文章的基调，“tropical fish could turn into lightly breaded dinner fish”“Its hard to say if my memory improved in the little timefor several days afterward”“but at least I wont meet an Alex at a partyor Alvin or Evelyn”，可见作者用的是幽默的手法。故选 B。三、BText 2/B(总题数：5，分数：10.00)26.“This overuse o
34、f wrapping is not confined to luxuries.“ (line 4, Paragraph 1) means _.（分数：2.00）A.more wrapping is needed for ordinary productsB.more wrapping is used for luxuries than for ordinary productsC.too much wrapping is used for both luxury and ordinary products D.the wrapping used for luxury products is u
35、nnecessary解析：精析 推理题。从该句的后一句“It is now becoming increasing ly difficult to buy anything that is not done up in beautiful wrap ping”可知没有精美包装的物品越来越少，言外之意是不仅仅奢侈品，即使普通物品也都使用很多包装。故选 C。27.Packaging is important to manufacturers because _.（分数：2.00）A.it is easy to use it againB.shoppers are interested in bea
36、utiful packagingC.they want to attract more shoppers D.packaged things will not go rotten解析：精析 推理题。从文章第二段对 So why is it done?的回答“most of the rest is simply competitive selling”可知大多数包装只是为了促销，即吸引顾客。故选 C。28.According to the passage, dairies are _.（分数：2.00）A.experimenting with the use of paper bottlesB.
37、giving up the use of glass bottlesC.increasing the use of plastic bottles D.re-using their paper containers解析：精析 细节题。由文章第三段最后两句话可知塑料瓶的使用日渐增多，使玻璃纸和纸都受到了威胁。更多的乳品公司在尝试使用塑料瓶。故选 C。29.Some environmentalists think that _.（分数：2.00）A.plastic packaging should be made more convenientB.no alternative can be fou
38、nd to plastic packagingC.too much plastic is wastedD.shops should stop using plastic containers 解析：精析 推理题。文章第四段第二句话说“一些环境学家说解决塑料容器使用增多这个问题的唯一途径就是不使用商店里的塑料制品”，说明环境学家认为商庙不应该使用塑料制品。故选 D。30.The author thinks that _.（分数：2.00）A.packing is actually useless and could be ignored B.people will soon stop using
39、 packaging altogetherC.enough research has been done into recyclingD.it is better to produce new materials than to re-use old ones解析：精析 主旨题。由文章可知，只有少数包装是有用的，绝大多数包装只是为了吸引消费者，而这一想法其实是荒谬的，消费者对包装并不感兴趣；且专家认为解决污染问题的唯一途径是商店内不再用塑料包装物，可总结得出：包装并无多大用处，我们可以忽略它。故选 A。四、BText 3/B(总题数：5，分数：10.00)31.We can infer fro
40、m the text that _.（分数：2.00）A.parents are strongly opposed to children watching TVB.a cartoon program is not harmful if it is not realC.children may imitate what they have seen on television D.the quality of children s programs is not the parents main concern解析：精析 推理题。文中第二段后半部分说电视节目中的暴力镜头对孩子有消极影响，小孩子
