(40 points)【知识模块】 阅读1 【正确答案】 F【试题解析】 “空 41”前面两个句子讲的是，受全球气候变暖的影响，北极的冰正在融化，估计到 2100 年夏天北极将成为无冰的世界。北极越来越不适合圣诞老人居住了。

35、于是，读者或许会猜想，在这种情况下，圣诞老人该怎么办呢?选项 F 说，“He may have to move from the North Pole within our childrens lifetimes”，其意思与上文配合得天衣无缝，北极住不下去了，只能移居他处。因此 F 是答案。【知识模块】 阅读2 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 “空 42”前面一句说，好莱坞电影极地快车想让观众相信圣诞老人的故乡在北极。下面该填什么呢?选项 A 说，“However，Nordic nations all reject it by claiming that their countries are

36、his home”，北欧国家不同意这种说法，都声称自己的国家才是圣诞老人的故乡。意思和上文配得上，但意思正好相反。所以，“空 42”句子的句首用 however 与前一句接起来。A 是答案。【知识模块】 阅读3 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 “空 43”前面一句说，丹麦科学部发言人提出拯救圣诞老人的几个办法。“空 43”的内容应该涉及具体的拯救办法。选项 D 符合这个要求。D 说其中一个办法是：如果北极的冰融化，就人工造个浮冰场地，上面可以承载圣诞老人的工场。从上下文意思的连接上，从 One of them(指代前一句的 ways)的用词上，都可以确定，D 是答案。【知识模块】 阅读4 【正确

37、答案】 C【试题解析】 选项 C 的句子一开始就用“Denmarks claim”重复“空 44”前面一句的“claiming(to the sovereignty over the Pole)”，从词汇重复上，我们可以判断，填入“空 44”的应该是选项 C 的句子。我们再从意思上分析下。丹麦认为，圣诞老人的故乡是格陵兰有助于加强丹麦声称自己拥有北极的主权的地位。选项 C 说，如果丹麦的这一要求得到国际社会认可的话，它就拥有合法的权利去勘测北极的石油和天然气。上下文意思是连贯的，所以 C 是答案。【知识模块】 阅读5 【正确答案】 E【试题解析】 “空 45”前面一句说，“Finland ha

38、s been most favored by Father Christmas and it has about 500，000 tourists a year to visit its Christmas center in Rovaniemi in Lapland”。当看到选项 E 中重复出现 Rovaniemi，就知道“空 45”的位置上应该是选项 E 的句子。圣诞老人如此眷顾 Rovaniemi，每年约有 50 万游客来参观 Rovaniemi 的圣诞中心。E 的句子说“Maybe Father Christmas has already moved to Rovaniemi(说不定圣

39、诞老人已经移居罗瓦涅米了)”，是对前一句“眷顾”的颇有风趣的总结，也与“空 41”的句子“He may have to move from the North Pole within our childrens lifetimes”遥相呼应。选项 E 是本题的答案。【知识模块】 阅读【知识模块】 阅读6 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 文章的第一段已经提到使身体瘦削的女性自认为身体肥胖的原因有很多，但一项新的研究表明，对身体形象所存有的不正确的态度有可能与儿时的经历有关。文尊的第二段是对第一段内容的进一步展与细化。【知识模块】 阅读7 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 本空的前一句讲到，体重不达标逐

40、渐被普遍视为“理想的”女性身材。冈此，“研究者指出，许多体重正常的女性希望再轻些”作为接下来的一句是十分合适的。【知识模块】 阅读8 【正确答案】 F【试题解析】 本空之前的一句提到，调查是以问卷形式进行的。因此，接下来的一句应涉及问卷的内容。【知识模块】 阅读9 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 文章的第二段已经提到，对身体形象存在有不正确的态度是与儿时的经历有关的，其中包括：父亲或者母亲生病，或是年幼时便开始酗酒或是过性生活。空格之前的一句提到了儿时经历父亲或是母亲生病，接下来的句子肯定涉及年幼时便开始酗酒或是过性生活的经历。【知识模块】 阅读10 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 文章的最后一句

41、是对研究结果的重述。【知识模块】 阅读【知识模块】 阅读11 【正确答案】 F【试题解析】 文章第一段主要讲全世界每晚尿床的孩子不计其数，但大多数孩子对自己尿床的事儿都闭口不言。因此你要是尿床的话，很容易感到你是独自一人好像全世界只有你一个人尿床。但事实并非如此。【知识模块】 阅读12 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 此段主要讲尿床在家族中遗传，也就是说，如果你有尿床的毛病，很可能你的近亲中有人小的时候也尿床。因此说尿床是遗传所致。【知识模块】 阅读13 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 此句之前的两句话已经说明没有人会故意尿床，可见这是一件身不由己的事情。【知识模块】 阅读14 【正确答案】 B【

42、试题解析】 前一句讲，许多尿床的孩子都睡得很沉，因此接下来自然要说想叫醒爱尿床的孩子是件很难的事。【知识模块】 阅读15 【正确答案】 E【试题解析】 前一句讲，许多尿床的孩子说在朋友或者亲戚家中过夜时，他们似乎不会尿床，接下来就应该讲明其原因。【知识模块】 阅读【知识模块】 阅读16 【正确答案】 F【试题解析】 文章开头表明，一个人的基因构成，即父母遗传给他的特征，很大程度上决定了他的身高和体重。接下来的句子应是对此论点的具体阐释：说明父母高矮与你的关系。【知识模块】 阅读17 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 前两句表明，人的骨骼有大小之分，而大骨骼通常比小骨骼要重，因此才有可能出现这种现象

43、，即身高相同、体重不同的两个孩子体重均正常。【知识模块】 阅读18 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 前一句讲，身体超重有可能在家族中代代相传，但又不是基因遗传所致，接下来的句子就应说明其原因。即不良的饮食习惯与运动习惯也代代相传，而这正可能是家族成员普遍超重的原因。【知识模块】 阅读19 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 前一句讲，一个人的体重体现的是所摄入热最与所消耗热量之间的平衡。由此可以推断，摄入的热量如果超过了身体的需要，就会超重。【知识模块】 阅读20 【正确答案】 E【试题解析】 前一句讲，如果一个人吃得多而运动得少就有可能超重。“反之亦然”，即“吃得少而运动得多，体重就会减轻”，这显然

44、应该是下一句所表达的意思。【知识模块】 阅读【知识模块】 阅读21 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 本段讲的是手臂的动作。已知的两个句子是对手臂在具体情况下具体动作的描述。从所处的位置上看，用以补充的句子应该是对手臂动作的概括性描述。D 符合条件。【知识模块】 阅读22 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 这个位置的前后两个句子都是对手臂动作的概括性描述。用以补充的句子也应该如此。C 讲的是开朗的人和沉默寡言的人手臂的动作，符合条件。【知识模块】 阅读23 【正确答案】 F【试题解析】 本段前两句讲在哪种情况下不能歪头。F 讲的是应该歪一点头的情况，恰好与前面构成对比。【知识模块】 阅读24 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 本段讲身体姿势。填充句后一个句子提到 This(这)会使呼吸更加困难，This 显然指的是一种不太好的身体姿势，A 与此相吻合。【知识模块】 阅读25 【正确答案】 E【试题解析】 本段讲嘴的动作。填充句的上一个句子谈到，如果想要抑制自己，使自己不发火，可以将嘴唇收拢。但事实上，这样做别人仍能看出你不高兴，也就是 E 的内容。【知识模块】 阅读
