Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them

25、 there are four choices marked A、B、C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.第21题：参考答案：C答案解析：C）第一段第三句说“狗的这些行为都是正常的，只是发生在不恰当的时间和地点，并选错了对象。”这说明这些不良的行为是它们天生的本性。D)项“对社区造成威胁”似乎比较符合逻辑，但并不具有普扁性，且作者在文中没有提及，因此应该排除

26、。第22题：参考答案：C答案解析：C）第一段最后一句提到驯服狗是为了“使它们常规行为转变为令人可以接受的家养狗的行为。”言外之意是使狗懂得服从主人的命令并意识到主人的权威。考生应注意区分redirect与regain的区别。redirect为“重新调整纠正”，regain为“重获”。狗的野蛮行为本来就属于正常行为，所以纠正它们的行为不能说是“恢复正常行为”。第23题：参考答案：C答案解析：C) 第二段的最后一句，“有效的交流对你是否能随心所欲使唤你的狗来说很有必要。”这与选项C)“狗与其主人之间的有效交流是让狗执行任务的基础”的意思一致。D）项容易被误选。根据文章第二段的第二句“Obedien

27、ce training down，doesnt solve all behavior problems，but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem.”这说明“obedience training”是解决狗的行为问题的基本要素，而不是“effective communication”.第24题：参考答案：A答案解析：A) 在第三段的第二句，作者提到当你的狗服从你的一个简单的命令时，它在向你展示顺从和敬意。在四个选项中,A)表示它们愿意服从；B）表达它们对主人的爱；C)避免被惩罚;D)在狗群中取得领导权。只有A）最符合题意

28、。第25题：参考答案：B答案解析：B) 文中最后一句提到，“A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greateramount of freedom than an untrained animal.”这意味着狗的主人将给它更大的自由，故选B)。做这道题时，考生一定要认真阅读原文，不要凭自己的日常经验简单做答。误选其他项的考生是按照日常的经验作答案，没有遵循原文。第26题：参考答案：C答案解析：C) 从文章的第三段的第二句，可以看出作者想成为文理科兼备的完美工程师。C)项与之相符。D) 项中作者

29、说选这所大学的目的并不是文理科一起学习，这只是手段，而最终目的是成为复合型人才。所以D）项不对。第27题：参考答案：A答案解析：A）从文章第二段的第四句可知，“I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who werent studying science or engineering.”作者自己学工科，但他想通过和非理工科的学生交流来拓宽视野，扩大知识面，故A)项符合题意。第28题：参考答案：B答案解析：B) 第三段的最后一句指明：真正的工程师是集技术天才和人文学者的敏锐于一身的。B)项与

30、之相符。D)项虽然可能正确，但不是作者的观点。因此不是答案。第29题：参考答案：D答案解析：D) 全文通篇介绍作者的选择及其原因，字里行间充斥着后悔的情绪，通过一些词我们便不难看出“an idealist and a fool”，“noble ideas crashed into reality”等，故选D)o在A)，C)两项中，作者的出发点是有创意的，其个人本身也是有抱负的，但他的经验证明他本人是不切实际的第30题：参考答案：B答案解析：B)在该句前一句的表语从句中提到，“is that engineering and the hberal arts simply dont mix”，并在这

31、一句中接着阐述两者之间的差别，因此不难看出“they”，指的是“engineering and liberal arts”工科和文科。C)项容易成为误选项，但结合上下文判断，C)项不正确。因为作者通篇谈的都是现实和理想之间的差距。但作者并不是宏观地谈论这个问题，而是就他对文理科的认识以及他自己的选择这个微观的角度谈。第31题：参考答案：D答案解析：D) 功文章开始第一句就用“ energy-efficient”来形容Priscilla Ouchida房子，这说明这幢房子在节能上是无可挑剔的。但“科学的”和“节能的”之间没有必然的等同关系，如果这幢房子的建造十分科学，也就不会发生后来的中毒事件，

32、所以B）不正确。第32题：参考答案：A答案解析：A)第一段的第二句至第四句说明Ouchida夫人患怪病的原因是因为房子密不透风，显然这是“indoor air pollution”的发端。因此A)项正确。B)，C)，D)在文中没有提及。第33题：参考答案：A答案解析：A) “accentuate”除了字面解释为“加剧”外，第三段的第三、第四句也说明答案为A)“恶化”。D)项“accelerate”虽然也有表示“程度加深”的意思，它一般指的是过程的加快。第34题：参考答案：D答案解析：D)文中提到新式房子为了节约能源而密不透风。而以前人们无需考虑房子有没有“unsealed cracks”，因为

33、当时没有“能源节约”这一说法，由此得出过去的能源并不贵。而且文中第四段第二句提到：“Back in the days when energy was cheap”，因此选择D项。对于在旧房子的不透气问题在技术上是否可以避免，原文中并没有提到，因此C)项可以排除。第35题：参考答案：B答案解析：B)文章中第一、二段介绍了“indoor air pollution”的一则案例，第三、四段则分析了室内空气污染的原因。因此B)项最符合题意。A）选项中“energy Conservation”只是作为室内空气污染的一个原因被提及；而D）项过于笼统，并且本文只谈到室内空气污染这一问题，而D）项中却用了tr

34、aps，故可以排除。第36题：参考答案：C答案解析：C) 第一段第一句提到,“New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage containers”即支付一笔钱给退瓶的顾客。因此选择C)项。“应为了重新利用旧瓶子而支付一定的费用”，这句话不符合题意，而且也不是纽约州法令的内容。第37题：参考答案：D答案解析：D) 第一段的第三句提到，“Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new prod

35、ucts，but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buried in Landfills.”其中“buried这个词说明D）项正确。误选A)项的考生应搞清楚是利用铝和玻璃作为原料，而不是塑料瓶。选项C）意思为“有二次利用的价值”。而事实上塑料瓶只有在回收后经过加工才可以被利用。第38题：参考答案：C答案解析：C) 第三段的第一句和第二句提出：处理废塑料瓶的关键在于使之有利用的价值，而不单是把它们挑拣出来那么简单。故选C)项。其他三个选项提到的问题是处理废塑料瓶的几个小的方

36、面。而题干问的是“the key problem”即主要间题是什么。因此其他选项错误。第39题：参考答案：B答案解析：B)第四段第二句提到:“In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management option.”其中“the least eve”就是与B)项同义。其他三个选项都是重新回收利用的好处，而不是做这种事的主要原因。第40题：参考答案：A答案解析：A) 第四段的最后一句提到:“Recycling also stimulates the loc

37、al economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy cost of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more re-fined raw material.”这句话从经济和环境两个方面说明了重新利用的好处，A)项正是表达了这个意思。C），D）项由于没有提到本文中心点而可以立即排除。而B）项中的“利益”问题不是本文的中心议题，因而可以排除。Part Vocabulary and Structure Directions: Ther

40、事”，而forget to do sth是“忘了去做某事”。这类动词还有stop，try，remember, regret等： stop to do sth“停下来去做某事”，stop doing sth“停止做某事”；try to do sth“努力做某事；试图做某事”，try doing sth“试一试做某事”；remember to do sth“记得要做某事”，remember doing sth“记得做过某事”；regret to do sth表示对要去做的事表示遗憾，含有“很遗憾不得不这样做”的意思；regret doing sth表示对已经做过的事后悔。第44题：参考答案：A答案

42、tudents)之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词，而且主句为过去时态，故选C。 A表达的是将来的概念。第47题：参考答案：C答案解析：句意：学钢琴时，如果训练不得法，你会染上许多不好的习惯。动词短语辨义：keep up“坚持，保持，使继续下去”；catch up“赶上，跟上”；pick up“获得，学会”，与habit搭配表示“染上习惯”；draw up“起草，拟订”。第48题：参考答案：A答案解析：句意：我们所吃和喝的每一样东西都含有盐分；我们从自然的来源中就可满足身体对盐分的需求，而不必求助于盐瓶。动词短语辨义：turn to“求助于，求教于；查阅”，符合句意；turn over“翻过来，翻

43、倒；仔细考虑；交，移交”； turn on“打开，接通”；turn up“开大，调大(音量等)；出现，来到”。第49题：参考答案：B答案解析：句意：尽管他不时要去做一些兼职工作，他的功课仍然很好。短语辨义：in case of“假如，如果发生；防备”；in spite of“不顾，尽管”，表示转折关系，符合句意；regardless of“不顾；不惜”，含有“无论什么情况”的意思；on account of“由于，因为”。第50题：参考答案：D答案解析：句意：尽管接受来自家庭、社团或政府的财政资助是允许的，但这并不值得赞美。连词辨义：once“一旦，曾经”；lest“以免”，后面的谓语用sho

46、the hours)、谓语(affect)和宾语(their relationships)，就可以理清句子的脉络： the hours与状语undoubtedly之间的部分应为定语从句，修饰句子的主语，而the hours作从句中及物动词spend的宾语，关系代词前不需要介词，故选that。第55题：参考答案：C答案解析：句意：我宁愿有间属于自己的房间，不管它多小，我也不愿和别人合住一室。would ratherthan这一平行结构要求平行的两部分在语法上对等。句中，would rather后面接的是动词原形have，than后也应当接动词原形share。第56题：参考答案：D答案解析：句意：
