You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Do you know how to use a mobile phone (手機) without being rude to the people around you?
Talking during a performance irritates (激怒) people. If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate (振動 ). When your mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance.
Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public places—especially enclosed spaces. Would you want to
listen to someones conversation in these places? Worse yet,how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral! It happens more often than you think. Avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your
mobile phone is switched off.
When eating at a restaurant with friends, dont place your mobile phone on the table. This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you.
Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone. This enables you to speak quietly so that others wont hear the details of your conversations. If you are calling from a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone.
Many people believe that they cant live without their mobile phone. Owning a mobile phone definitely makes life more convenient, but limit your conversations to urgent ones and save the personal calls until you are at
home.

call during a performance?

When a rare disease ALD threatened to kill the four-year-old boy Lorenzo, his parents refused to give up hope.Doctors explained that there was no cure for ALD, and that he would probably die within three years. But Lorenzos parents set out to prove the doctors wrong.
The parents devoted themselves to keeping their son alive and searching for a cure. But doctors and the families of other ALD patients often refused to take
them seriously. They thought the efforts to find a cure were a waste of time, and drug companies werent interested in supporting research into such a rare disease.
However, the parents still refused to give up and spent every available hour in medical libraries and talking to anyone who would help. Through trial and error (反復實驗 ), they finally created a cure from ingredients (調(diào)料)
commonly found in the kitchen. The cure, named" Lorenzos Oil", saved the boys life. Despite the good results, scientists and doctors remained unconvinced. They said there was no real evidence that the oil worked and that the treatment was just a theory.As a result, some families with ALD children were reluctant to try it.

Section C
In the U. S. A, thirty percent of the adult population
has a weight problem. To many people, the cause is
obvious--they eat too much. But scientific evidence does
not support this idea. Going back to the America of
1910,
we find the people were thinner than today. Yet they ate
more food. In those days, people worked harder
physically,
walked more, used machines much less, and did not watch
television. Several modem studies have shown that fatter
people do not eat more than thinner people. In fact,
some investigations report that the fat people eat less
than thinner people. Recently, a study of research group
found the following interesting fact--thinner people are
more active than fatter people. Therefore, those who
exercise regularly can eat more and still lose a large
amount of body
fat.
11. About how many adult Americans have the "weight
problem"?
12. In many peoples opinion, what is the cause of
getting fat?
13. Why were the Americans in 1910 thinner than today?

構成主動關系,所以要用現(xiàn)在分 詞。另外,hear 這個動作發(fā)生在主句動作 came 之前,所以這里要用完成時。
[避錯指導] A)用了過去分詞,和主句主語構成被動關系,不符合句意;C)用了動詞原形,而本句需要
非謂語動詞,故排除;D)用了動詞不定式,而不定式作狀語一般表示目的,不符合句意。
17. C)。[考查點] 固定用法

[句意] 盡管我們有兩臺電視機,但是它們都有問題,所以我們還是什么都看不到。

[避錯指導] 根據(jù)句意,從句中應該使用具有否定意義的詞語,B)、C)和 D)都不具有否定意義,可以排除。
Section B
26. performance
[考查點] 詞形轉(zhuǎn)換
[句意] 我聽說那支樂隊將要赴香港進行為期 3 天的演出。
[解析] 空格處應為 give 的賓語,又因為前面有復合形容詞 three-day,所以應該用 perform
的名詞形式。
27. knew
[考查點] 時態(tài)
[句意] 約翰不光學漢語,而且了解他們國家和我們國家之間的文化差異。
[解析] 本句是由 not only... but also 引導的并列句,因此空格處的動詞 know 應該和
learnt 使用相同的時 態(tài)。
28. happier
[考查點] 形容詞比較級
[句意] 旅途越是充滿挑戰(zhàn),年輕人們就越是覺得高興。
[解析] 此處為固定句式“the+形容詞/副詞比較級,the+形容詞/副詞比較級”的套用。
29. extremely
[考查點] 詞形轉(zhuǎn)換
[句意] 洪水過后,災區(qū)農(nóng)民的生活極其困苦。
[解析] 修飾形容詞 difficult,這里應該用 extreme 的副詞形式 extremely。
30. playing
[考查點] 現(xiàn)在分詞
[句意] 在那邊拉小提琴的那些孩子下周要登臺演出。
[解析] Play 應作主語 children 的定語,兩者為主動關系,所以采用現(xiàn)在分詞形式 playing。
31. fasten
[考查點] 詞形轉(zhuǎn)換 動詞不定式
[句意] 飛機起飛之前,所有乘客都需系好安全帶。
[解析] 動詞不定式后應接動詞原形,動詞 fasten“扣緊,系牢”為形容詞 fast 的詞形轉(zhuǎn)換。
32. were told
[考查點] 被動語態(tài)/時態(tài)一致 時態(tài)一致
[句意] 警察們被告知:除非接到下一步命令,否則不能擅自采取任何行動。
[解析] tell 為 policemen 的謂語,兩者為被動關系,所以要用被動語態(tài);而時態(tài)上要與從句中的
received 保 持一致,所以空格處應填 were told。
33. appointment
[考查點] 詞形轉(zhuǎn)換
[句意] 我下午要去看牙醫(yī),所以不能和你一起購物了。
[解析] 空格處應為 have 的賓語,又因為有冠詞 an,所以應該用 appoint 的名詞形式
appointment。

[句意] 這位父親想知道他的兒子上周為什么被警察盤問。
[解析] 由 by the police 可知 his son 應該是被盤問;又由 last week
可知被盤問一事發(fā)生在上周,所以要用過 去式。
35。 would have been
[考查點] 虛擬語氣
[句意] 這個孩子通過了期末考試,但是如果他在學習上再多花點時間,成績會更好。
[解析] 此句使用虛擬語氣,表示與過去事實相反。條件句中用了 had spent,所以主句中要用“would +
have +
過去分詞”這一結構。
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
36. C)。事實細節(jié)題。文章第二段末句說 When your mobile phone
vibrates,you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy
the performance.(當電話振動時,你可以悄悄地離開,讓其他人繼續(xù)欣賞節(jié)目。)可見,在觀看
演出時,如果必須接電話,好離開演出現(xiàn)場到外面接聽,因此選 C)。
[避錯指導] 因為題干中提到 need to answer,所以“演出結束后回電話”便為時已晚,因此
A)不符合題意;
B)“在靠近出口的地方接聽”,“靠近出口”還是在演出現(xiàn)場,與原文不符;D)“低聲接聽電話”同樣會影
響周圍觀眾觀看演出,與原文不符。
37. B)。事實細節(jié)題。文章第四段第二句說 This conveys the message that
your phone calls are more important
than those around you.(這樣做就表示你的電話比在座的各位都重要。)這與 B)的意思一致。
[避錯指導] A)“你喜歡和朋友在就餐時談話 ”與手機無關,可以排除; C)“你對朋友的陪伴備感高興 ”,
文章沒有提及;D)“你對朋友禮貌和體諒朋友”與事實相反。
38. D)。事實細節(jié)題。文章第五段末句說 If you are calling from a noisy
area,use your hand to direct your voice
into the microphone.(如果在嘈雜環(huán)境中接聽電話,要用你的手掩住話筒外側,這樣會使你的聲音更
集中。) 這與 D)的意思一致。
[避錯指導] A)“使用更靈敏的話筒”、B)“對著話筒大聲說話”、C)“悄悄離開,換個地方接電話”文中均
未提及。
39. A)。觀點態(tài)度題。文章第三段首句說Think twice before using mobile
phones in elevators,museums,churches
or other indoor public places—especially enclosed
spaces.(在電梯、博物館、教堂或者其他室內(nèi)公共場所,特
別是密閉環(huán)境下使用手機應該三思而后行。)可見,作者的意思是:在像博物館這樣的環(huán)境中,接打手機不
能毫無顧忌,應有所限制,即 A)limited。
[避錯指導] B)“許可”、C)“反對”、D)“推薦使用”語氣都過于絕對,與題意無法契合。
40. C)。事實細節(jié)題。文章第三段第三句說Worse yet,how would you feel if a
mobile phone rang suddenly during
a funeral!接下來在末句說:要想避免類似的尷尬局面,就要 making sure your mobile
phone is switched off.(確 保你的手機是關閉的),這里的 switched off 與
C)中的 turn off 同義。
[避錯指導] A)“只能用手機來談論私事”與原文不符;文中只說在教堂打手機應該有所限制,并沒有說應
該 speak quietly,故排除 B);D)“盡可能多使用手機”原文并未提及。
Task 2
41. C)。事實細節(jié)題。文章首段第二句 Doctors explained that there was no
cure for ALD,and that he would probably die within three
years.(醫(yī)生解釋說當前還沒有治療 ALD 的藥,因此他很可能在 3 年內(nèi)死亡。)因 此選 C)。
[避錯指導] A)“醫(yī)生們以前沒有治療過這種疾病”、B)“洛倫佐還太小,所以無法接受治療”、D)“ALD 是
一種罕見的疾病”均不是醫(yī)生們判定洛倫佐只能活 3 年的根本依據(jù)。
42. B)。事實細節(jié)題。文章第二段末句說 They thought the efforts to find a
cure were a waste of time…(他們認 為尋找治療 ALD 的方法只是在浪費時間…)因此選
B)。
[避錯指導] A)“新方法的研制將耗資巨大”,文章沒有提及;C)“洛倫佐的父母終會找到治療的方法 ”,
并非其他 ALD 患者家屬的看法;因為當時 Lorenzos oil 還未被發(fā)現(xiàn),所以說它“是一種真正能治療
ALD 的藥物”還為時過早,故排除 D)。
43. C)。事實細節(jié)題。文章第三段倒數(shù)第二句說 They said there was no real
evidence that the oil worked and that
the treatment was just a theory.(他們說沒有確鑿的證據(jù)證明 Lorenzos

44. A)。事實細節(jié)題。文章末段首句說 the boys father organized an

45. D)。事實細節(jié)題。文章末句說 After ten years of trials,the answer
is the oil keeps ALD children healthy.(長
達 10 年的試驗終證明:這種藥物能使 ALD 病患兒童恢復健康。)可見這種藥物對 ALD 具有治愈效果。
[避錯指導] A)“醫(yī)生們?nèi)耘f對該藥物的效果持懷疑態(tài)度”只是片面觀點,不是終結論;文中第三段未句 所說的
reluctant 意為“不情愿”,并非“拒絕”,因此排除 B)“很多患者拒絕使用這種藥物”;C)“各種 ALD
的治療方法均已找到”文中沒有提及。
Task 3

60. eat and drink
[解析] 文章末句提到 eating and drinking are forbidden in MRT
stations and trains,這里的 forbidden 和題干前 面的 not allowed
同義,又因使用了動詞不定式,所以應填動詞原形 eat and drink。
61. [答案]B)—A)—C)—D)
[解析]本題的關鍵在于對 as 引導的原因狀語從句以及前面動詞不定式的理解,be processed
應理解為“被受 理”,only 可理解為“必須”,應該說簽名是受理的前提。

Task 1
Directions: Af ter reading the f ollowing passage, you will f ind 5 questions or unf inished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Do you know how to use a mobile phone (手機) without being rude to the people around you?
Talking during a performance irritates (激怒) people. If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate (振動 ). When your mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance.
Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public places—especially enclosed spaces. Would you want to
listen to someones conversation in these places? Worse yet,how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral! It happens more often than you think. Avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your
mobile phone is switched off.
When eating at a restaurant with friends, dont place your mobile phone on the table. This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you.
Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone. This enables you to speak quietly so that others wont hear the details of your conversations. If you are calling from a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone.
Many people believe that they cant live without their mobile phone. Owning a mobile phone definitely makes life more convenient, but limit your conversations to urgent ones and save the personal calls until you are at
home.
36. What should you do when you need to answer a phone
call during a performance?
A) Call back after the performance. B) Answer it near
the exit door.
C) Talk outside the exit door. D) Speak in a low voice.
37. Putting your mobile phone on a restaurant table may
make your friends think
A) you prefer to talk to your friends at the table B)
you value your calls more than your friends
C) you are enjoying the company of your friends D) you
are polite and considerate of your friends

your microphone

your hand to help speak into the phone

When a rare disease ALD threatened to kill the four-year-old boy Lorenzo, his parents refused to give up hope.Doctors explained that there was no cure for ALD, and that he would probably die within three years. But Lorenzos parents set out to prove the doctors wrong.
The parents devoted themselves to keeping their son alive and searching for a cure. But doctors and the families of other ALD patients often refused to take
them seriously. They thought the efforts to find a cure were a waste of time, and drug companies werent interested in supporting research into such a rare disease.
However, the parents still refused to give up and spent every available hour in medical libraries and talking to anyone who would help. Through trial and error (反復實驗 ), they finally created a cure from ingredients (調(diào)料)
commonly found in the kitchen. The cure, named" Lorenzos Oil", saved the boys life. Despite the good results, scientists and doctors remained unconvinced. They said there was no real evidence that the oil worked and that the treatment was just a theory.As a result, some families with ALD children were reluctant to try it.
Finally, the boys father organized an international study to test the oil. After ten years of trials, the answer is: the oil keepsALD children healthy.
41. Doctors said that Lorenzo might die within three
years because .

44. Lorenzos father organized an international study to
.
A) test Lorenzos Oil B) get financial support
C) find a cure for the disease D) introduce the cure
worldwide
45. From the passage we can conclude that
A) doctors remain doubtful of the effectiveness of the
cure

really works as a cure for ALD

Section C
In the U. S. A, thirty percent of the adult population
has a weight problem. To many people, the cause is
obvious--they eat too much. But scientific evidence does
not support this idea. Going back to the America of
1910,
we find the people were thinner than today. Yet they ate
more food. In those days, people worked harder
physically,
walked more, used machines much less, and did not watch
television. Several modem studies have shown that fatter
people do not eat more than thinner people. In fact,
some investigations report that the fat people eat less
than thinner people. Recently, a study of research group
found the following interesting fact--thinner people are
more active than fatter people. Therefore, those who
exercise regularly can eat more and still lose a large
amount of body
fat.
11. About how many adult Americans have the "weight
problem"?
12. In many peoples opinion, what is the cause of
getting fat?
13. Why were the Americans in 1910 thinner than today?
14. What was the result of a recent study?
15. According to the passage, what happens to those who
exercise regularly?

Part II Structure
Section A
16. B)。[考查點] 現(xiàn)在分詞
[句意] 聽到鮑勃得到晉升的消息后,朋友們都來向他道賀。
[解析] 主句的主語 his friends 也是從句的邏輯主語,和從句謂語 hear
構成主動關系,所以要用現(xiàn)在分 詞。另外,hear 這個動作發(fā)生在主句動作 came 之前,所以這里要用完成時。
[避錯指導] A)用了過去分詞,和主句主語構成被動關系,不符合句意;C)用了動詞原形,而本句需要
非謂語動詞,故排除;D)用了動詞不定式,而不定式作狀語一般表示目的,不符合句意。
17. C)。[考查點] 固定用法
[句意] 在本學期剩下的時間里,大家盡量不要缺課。
[解析] be absent from 為固定短語,表示“缺席”。
[避錯指導] 其他選項均不能和前面的 absent 搭配,可以排除。
18. A)。[考查點] 固定用法
[句意] 上個月這個年輕人失業(yè)了,但不久之后,他就在我的公司謀得了一個職位。
[解析] 空格前面的 it wasnt long 和 before 構成固定搭配,意為“不久以后”。
[避錯指導] 其他選項均不能和前面的 it wasnt long 搭配,可以排除。
19. D)。[考查點] 虛擬語氣
[句意] 公司代表要求協(xié)議的部分內(nèi)容必須修改。
[解析] 根據(jù)句子中出現(xiàn)的動詞 demand,可以判斷其后面的 that
引導的賓語從句要用虛擬語氣,即“should+
動詞原形”或直接用動詞原形。
[避錯指導] 其他選項均未使用虛擬語氣,可以排除。
20. C)。[考查點] 同位語從句
[句意] 他建議我們都參加會議,你覺得怎么樣?
[解析] 名詞后一般接 that 引導的同位語從句宋解釋說明名詞的具體內(nèi)容。
[避錯指導] A)和 B)不能用來引導同位語從句,可以排除;D)中的 what 在引導同位語從句時,既充當連接
詞,又在句中作主語,而題干中的句子結構完整,不需要 what,用連接詞 that 即可。
21. A)。[考查點] 否定代詞
[句意] 盡管我們有兩臺電視機,但是它們都有問題,所以我們還是什么都看不到。
[解析] 根據(jù)“我們還是什么都看不到”可以推斷兩臺電視機都無法正常使用,所以選 neither,對兩者都表
示否定。
[避錯指導] B)是選擇性代詞,意為“兩者任選一個”;C)和 D)都表示肯定,不符合句意。
22. D)。[考查點] 時態(tài)
[句意] 我來了這兒就一直住在宿舍里,因為那里比較便宜。
[解析] 根據(jù)句子中出現(xiàn)的時間狀語 Ever since I arrived here
可以看出主句謂語動詞表示一個由過去一直持 續(xù)到現(xiàn)在的動作,所以應該用現(xiàn)在完成進行時。
[避錯指導] 其他選項均無法和句子中的狀語從句搭配,應當排除。
23. C)。[考查點] 形容詞/副詞比較級用法
[句意] 看起來,我越是努力,越是算不出那道數(shù)學題。
[解析] “the+形容詞/副詞比較級,the+形容詞/副詞比較級”是英語中的常見句式,意為“越…越… ”。
[避錯指導] A)沒有使用 impossible 的比較級形式;B)沒有使用定冠詞 the;D)沒有使用
impossible 的比較級 , 卻使用了高級,因此都不符合結構要求,均可排除。
24. B)。[考查點] 固定用法
[句意] 這次事故的責任應該由我負責,所以我須賠償對方車主的損失。
[解析] 表示“對…造成損失或破壞”,應該在 damage 后接介詞 to。
[避錯指導] 其他選項均不能和前面的 damage 構成固定搭配,可以排除。

Section B
26. performance
[考查點] 詞形轉(zhuǎn)換
[句意] 我聽說那支樂隊將要赴香港進行為期 3 天的演出。
[解析] 空格處應為 give 的賓語,又因為前面有復合形容詞 three-day,所以應該用 perform
的名詞形式。
27. knew
[考查點] 時態(tài)
[句意] 約翰不光學漢語,而且了解他們國家和我們國家之間的文化差異。
[解析] 本句是由 not only... but also 引導的并列句,因此空格處的動詞 know 應該和
learnt 使用相同的時 態(tài)。
28. happier
[考查點] 形容詞比較級
[句意] 旅途越是充滿挑戰(zhàn),年輕人們就越是覺得高興。
[解析] 此處為固定句式“the+形容詞/副詞比較級,the+形容詞/副詞比較級”的套用。
29. extremely
[考查點] 詞形轉(zhuǎn)換
[句意] 洪水過后,災區(qū)農(nóng)民的生活極其困苦。
[解析] 修飾形容詞 difficult,這里應該用 extreme 的副詞形式 extremely。
30. playing
[考查點] 現(xiàn)在分詞
[句意] 在那邊拉小提琴的那些孩子下周要登臺演出。
[解析] Play 應作主語 children 的定語,兩者為主動關系,所以采用現(xiàn)在分詞形式 playing。
31. fasten
[考查點] 詞形轉(zhuǎn)換 動詞不定式
[句意] 飛機起飛之前,所有乘客都需系好安全帶。
[解析] 動詞不定式后應接動詞原形,動詞 fasten“扣緊,系牢”為形容詞 fast 的詞形轉(zhuǎn)換。
32. were told
[考查點] 被動語態(tài)/時態(tài)一致 時態(tài)一致
[句意] 警察們被告知:除非接到下一步命令,否則不能擅自采取任何行動。
[解析] tell 為 policemen 的謂語,兩者為被動關系,所以要用被動語態(tài);而時態(tài)上要與從句中的
received 保 持一致,所以空格處應填 were told。
33. appointment
[考查點] 詞形轉(zhuǎn)換
[句意] 我下午要去看牙醫(yī),所以不能和你一起購物了。
[解析] 空格處應為 have 的賓語,又因為有冠詞 an,所以應該用 appoint 的名詞形式
appointment。
34. was questioned

[句意] 這位父親想知道他的兒子上周為什么被警察盤問。
[解析] 由 by the police 可知 his son 應該是被盤問;又由 last week
可知被盤問一事發(fā)生在上周,所以要用過 去式。
35。 would have been
[考查點] 虛擬語氣
[句意] 這個孩子通過了期末考試,但是如果他在學習上再多花點時間,成績會更好。
[解析] 此句使用虛擬語氣,表示與過去事實相反。條件句中用了 had spent,所以主句中要用“would +
have +
過去分詞”這一結構。
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
36. C)。事實細節(jié)題。文章第二段末句說 When your mobile phone
vibrates,you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy
the performance.(當電話振動時,你可以悄悄地離開,讓其他人繼續(xù)欣賞節(jié)目。)可見,在觀看
演出時,如果必須接電話,好離開演出現(xiàn)場到外面接聽,因此選 C)。
[避錯指導] 因為題干中提到 need to answer,所以“演出結束后回電話”便為時已晚,因此
A)不符合題意;
B)“在靠近出口的地方接聽”,“靠近出口”還是在演出現(xiàn)場,與原文不符;D)“低聲接聽電話”同樣會影
響周圍觀眾觀看演出,與原文不符。
37. B)。事實細節(jié)題。文章第四段第二句說 This conveys the message that
your phone calls are more important
than those around you.(這樣做就表示你的電話比在座的各位都重要。)這與 B)的意思一致。
[避錯指導] A)“你喜歡和朋友在就餐時談話 ”與手機無關,可以排除; C)“你對朋友的陪伴備感高興 ”,
文章沒有提及;D)“你對朋友禮貌和體諒朋友”與事實相反。
38. D)。事實細節(jié)題。文章第五段末句說 If you are calling from a noisy
area,use your hand to direct your voice
into the microphone.(如果在嘈雜環(huán)境中接聽電話,要用你的手掩住話筒外側,這樣會使你的聲音更
集中。) 這與 D)的意思一致。
[避錯指導] A)“使用更靈敏的話筒”、B)“對著話筒大聲說話”、C)“悄悄離開,換個地方接電話”文中均
未提及。
39. A)。觀點態(tài)度題。文章第三段首句說Think twice before using mobile
phones in elevators,museums,churches
or other indoor public places—especially enclosed
spaces.(在電梯、博物館、教堂或者其他室內(nèi)公共場所,特
別是密閉環(huán)境下使用手機應該三思而后行。)可見,作者的意思是:在像博物館這樣的環(huán)境中,接打手機不
能毫無顧忌,應有所限制,即 A)limited。
[避錯指導] B)“許可”、C)“反對”、D)“推薦使用”語氣都過于絕對,與題意無法契合。
40. C)。事實細節(jié)題。文章第三段第三句說Worse yet,how would you feel if a
mobile phone rang suddenly during
a funeral!接下來在末句說:要想避免類似的尷尬局面,就要 making sure your mobile
phone is switched off.(確 保你的手機是關閉的),這里的 switched off 與
C)中的 turn off 同義。
[避錯指導] A)“只能用手機來談論私事”與原文不符;文中只說在教堂打手機應該有所限制,并沒有說應
該 speak quietly,故排除 B);D)“盡可能多使用手機”原文并未提及。
Task 2
41. C)。事實細節(jié)題。文章首段第二句 Doctors explained that there was no
cure for ALD,and that he would probably die within three
years.(醫(yī)生解釋說當前還沒有治療 ALD 的藥,因此他很可能在 3 年內(nèi)死亡。)因 此選 C)。
[避錯指導] A)“醫(yī)生們以前沒有治療過這種疾病”、B)“洛倫佐還太小,所以無法接受治療”、D)“ALD 是
一種罕見的疾病”均不是醫(yī)生們判定洛倫佐只能活 3 年的根本依據(jù)。
42. B)。事實細節(jié)題。文章第二段末句說 They thought the efforts to find a
cure were a waste of time…(他們認 為尋找治療 ALD 的方法只是在浪費時間…)因此選
B)。
[避錯指導] A)“新方法的研制將耗資巨大”,文章沒有提及;C)“洛倫佐的父母終會找到治療的方法 ”,
并非其他 ALD 患者家屬的看法;因為當時 Lorenzos oil 還未被發(fā)現(xiàn),所以說它“是一種真正能治療
ALD 的藥物”還為時過早,故排除 D)。
43. C)。事實細節(jié)題。文章第三段倒數(shù)第二句說 They said there was no real
evidence that the oil worked and that
the treatment was just a theory.(他們說沒有確鑿的證據(jù)證明 Lorenzos
oil 對這種疾病有療效,這僅是理論上 的治療方法。)因此選 C)。
[避錯指導] A)“很有效果”、B)“是一個成功的案例”、D)“將會挽救男孩的生命”與文意不符,均非科學
家和醫(yī)生們的觀點。
44. A)。事實細節(jié)題。文章末段首句說 the boys father organized an
international study to test the oil .(孩子的
父親組織了一個科研小組來檢測這種藥的療效。)這種藥即指 Lorenzos oil,因此選 A)。

45. D)。事實細節(jié)題。文章末句說 After ten years of trials,the answer
is the oil keeps ALD children healthy.(長
達 10 年的試驗終證明:這種藥物能使 ALD 病患兒童恢復健康。)可見這種藥物對 ALD 具有治愈效果。
[避錯指導] A)“醫(yī)生們?nèi)耘f對該藥物的效果持懷疑態(tài)度”只是片面觀點,不是終結論;文中第三段未句 所說的
reluctant 意為“不情愿”,并非“拒絕”,因此排除 B)“很多患者拒絕使用這種藥物”;C)“各種 ALD
的治療方法均已找到”文中沒有提及。
Task 3
46. 1,642
[解析] 由第二段首句可知賓館的數(shù)量為 1,642 家。
47. leisure
[解析] 第二段首句說 1,642 家賓館都能提供佳的 leisure facilities(休閑設施)。
48. locations
[解析] 第二段末句說我們擁有好的 locations for relaxation(娛樂場所)。

59. expire
[解析] 第二段后一句指出在地鐵內(nèi)逗留時間不能超過半小時,否則車票就會 expire(失效)。
60. eat and drink
[解析] 文章末句提到 eating and drinking are forbidden in MRT
stations and trains,這里的 forbidden 和題干前 面的 not allowed
同義,又因使用了動詞不定式,所以應填動詞原形 eat and drink。
61. [答案]B)—A)—C)—D)
[解析]本題的關鍵在于對 as 引導的原因狀語從句以及前面動詞不定式的理解,be processed
應理解為“被受 理”,only 可理解為“必須”,應該說簽名是受理的前提。
62. [答案]C)—D)—B)—A)
[解析]本題的關鍵在于對 whether 引導的讓步狀語從句的理解,同時還要注意雙重否定的翻譯。句中 local
應譯作“局部的”,global 應譯作“全球性的”。
63. [答案]A)—D)—B)—C)
[解析]本題的關鍵在于對 and 連接的兩個條件狀語從句的理解。第二個從句譯作“自信對風險評估很了解”
比較恰當。
64. [答案]D)—A)—C)—B)
[解析]本題的關鍵在于兩個動詞不定式和 of 短語的理解,兩個動詞不定式結構作 need
的目的狀語。manage
the work of installation teams 譯作“領導安裝小組的工作”比較恰當。
65. 從我們的大使館獲悉貴公司欲進口一批中國絲織品。
我們公司長期在中國從事絲織品出口業(yè)務并在國內(nèi)外一直享有盛譽我們的產(chǎn)品暢銷全世界其優(yōu)良的
