答案與解析
第一篇
46．E。從原文來(lái)看，空白處的前面一句話講的是位于曼谷的中國(guó)大使館發(fā)布爆炸中沒(méi)有中國(guó)公民傷亡的報(bào)告?？瞻滋幒笠痪湓捯訠ut開(kāi)始，講的是其他國(guó)家大使館的公告。所以，空白處應(yīng)填入的很可能是和中國(guó)大使館有關(guān)的信息。6個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有E和中國(guó)大使館有關(guān)，所以正確答案為E。
47．A。從原文來(lái)看，空白處的前面一句話講的是到星期二為止還沒(méi)有恐怖組織聲稱(chēng)對(duì)這次爆炸負(fù)責(zé)?？瞻滋帒?yīng)該是和恐怖組織的活動(dòng)或者這次爆炸的制造者有關(guān)的內(nèi)容。選項(xiàng)A說(shuō)有人相信爆炸是分裂主義者干的，符合該要求。
48．D。從原文來(lái)看，這一段的主要內(nèi)容是講泰國(guó)最南部三個(gè)省的爆炸和槍擊情況?？瞻滋幾鳛楸径蔚淖詈笠痪湓?，應(yīng)該要談一下事情的處理，即泰國(guó)政府對(duì)這個(gè)情況的對(duì)策或態(tài)度或處理方法，選項(xiàng)D說(shuō)泰國(guó)政府至今未能控制暴力行動(dòng)，符合語(yǔ)境。
49．c。從原文來(lái)看，空白處的前面一段講到泰國(guó)現(xiàn)任總理認(rèn)為該爆炸和國(guó)內(nèi)的政治以及那些失去政治利益的人有關(guān)，即暗指前總理Thaksin Shinawatra?？瞻滋幍暮竺嬉痪湓捳f(shuō)Surayud后來(lái)被任命為……可見(jiàn)空白處必定和Surayud上臺(tái)前所發(fā)生的事情有關(guān)，所以選C項(xiàng)，Thaksin在去年9月的一次軍事政變中被趕下了臺(tái)，符合語(yǔ)境。
50．B?？瞻滋幥懊娴亩温浜秃竺娴木渥诱?wù)摰倪€是Thaksin，所以空白處的句子應(yīng)該還是跟Thaksin有關(guān)。選項(xiàng)B意為“有些人相信，一些忠于Thaksin的高級(jí)軍官和一些被趕下臺(tái)的政客合謀了這次爆炸以敗壞政府的名聲”，符合語(yǔ)境。
第二篇
46．C。第三段的第一句話說(shuō)的是：加勒比群島形成了一條鎖鏈，把加勒比海與大西洋的其他部分分開(kāi)。有可能構(gòu)成答案的是C和D。因?yàn)樗鼈兊牡谝粋€(gè)詞都是They，該詞指的是The Caribbean Islands。但是，The Caribbean Islands只有古巴等4個(gè)國(guó)家組成不符合實(shí)際情況，因此C是正確的。
47．B。第四段的第一句話(主題句)說(shuō)的是：加勒比群島有好幾個(gè)名字。這是一個(gè)總的概括，緊接著應(yīng)該是具體的說(shuō)明。8是具體的說(shuō)明：歐洲人最早用的名字是印度群島(the Indies)，后來(lái)叫作西印度群島(the West Indies)。
48．D。第五段的第一句話說(shuō)的是：加勒比海有4座大的島嶼。這是一個(gè)總的說(shuō)明。下面應(yīng)當(dāng)列舉。D是列舉。
49．F。第六段的第一句話說(shuō)的是：加勒比群島中的其他島嶼小得多。接著應(yīng)該是進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明。F是進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明。
50．E。最后一段講到加勒比海的天氣溫暖，陽(yáng)光充裕，許多島嶼的海岸有沙灘，這樣的自然環(huán)境顯然會(huì)吸引旅游者。故選E。
第三篇
46．E。本文的標(biāo)題是Heat Is Killer，通篇文章說(shuō)的是heat的危害性及預(yù)防方法。空白處前面的句子說(shuō)“Floods，storms，volcano eruptions and other natural events kill thousands of people every year”，空白處后面的句子說(shuō)“…h(huán)eat may be nature’S deadliest killer”。將兩個(gè)句子所表達(dá)的意思匯總來(lái)看，floods，storms，volcano eruptions和高溫都是殺手，而以高溫更甚。空白處的句子一定與“殺手”有關(guān)。六個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有E符合這個(gè)條件，所以E是答案。
47．D。空白處后面的句子說(shuō)到heat waves，而選項(xiàng)D的句子中也出現(xiàn)heat wave，說(shuō)明這兩個(gè)句子意思上有聯(lián)系。空白處中的句子應(yīng)該是對(duì)“heatwave”下的定義，以便為下一句的展開(kāi)作鋪墊。故D是答案。

49．C。緊跟該空白處后面的句子中有特指的the pain，說(shuō)明前文一定出現(xiàn)過(guò)pain這個(gè)詞。選項(xiàng)C的句子中有pain，且C的句子填入后，上下文意思連貫，所以c是答案。
50．A。空白處前面的句子說(shuō)：某些人在熱浪期間特別危險(xiǎn)。讀者或許會(huì)問(wèn)，是哪些人呢?選項(xiàng)A回答了這個(gè)問(wèn)題，所以A是答案。
