9个表明被劫持过的症状，其中之一是：你醒来时是否有一种麻痹的感觉，好像陌生人或其他什么东西来过你的房间。如果对这5个问题的回答其中4个是肯定的，就等于说承认被劫持过。可见，统计数字之所以无效，问题主要出在问卷上。第25题：Theauthorofthepassage.A.makesacriticalanalysisofBest,sbookB.showshisadmirationforBest，sbookC.givesanimpartialintroductiontoBest,sbookD.makesasystematiccomparisonbetweenHuff'sandBest'sbooks参考答案：B答案解析：[B]第一段提到Best探讨的问题更深刻(参阅第31题题解)；第二段最后一句评价说：Best的叙述很流畅(floweasily),引用现实生活的例子，将自己的所有观点论述得很透彻(drivehome)o另请参阅最后一段第一句和最后一句，注意其中的constructive,lucid,comprehensive等褒扬的词语。Fordecades,GeneralMotorsandtheFordMotorCo.havepubliclyresistedattemptstotightenfueleconomyandcleanuptoxictailpipes.Allthewhile,theyhaveoutdoneoneanotherinlaunchinglarge,gasguzzlingvehicles.Yettheywererecentlyfoundjostlingeachotheroverwhichcouldproducemorefuel-efficientvehicles.AtanewsconferenceoutsideDetroit,GM'svicechairmanHarryPearcepronouncedhimselfaannoyed,seriouslyannoyedthatFordwaspositioningitselfassomehowtheenvironmentalleader”.Thedebate,hedeclared,aoughttobeintellectuallyhonest...GMleadsFordtodayintruckfueleconomy,bothonaverageandonamodel-by-modelbasis,includingsport-utilityvehicles(SUVs).GeneralMotorswillstillbetheleaderinfiveyears,or10years,orforthatmatter20years.Endofstory.”Iftheoutburstwasalittleaggressive,Fordhaditcoming.Sixdaysbefore,thecompany，spresidentandCEOJacNasserannouncedtoreporters,"We'redoingthingsverydifferentlyatFordMotorCompanythesedays."Voluntarily,thecompanywouldimprovethefueleconomyofsport-utilityvehicles25%overfiveyears,hesaid,savinganaverageof1,700gallonsofgasoverthelifeofanaveragevehicle."Wewelcomeotherautomakerstojoinus.”Carsandtrucks,amajorsourceofglobalwarming,aseachgallonofgasolineputscarbondioxideintotheatmosphere.Butbecauseofaloopholeinthe1975fuel-economylaw,today，strucksareallowedtomeetamorerelaxedstandardonmilespergallonthancats：20.7vs.27.5onaverage.Thedifferencematteredlesstwodecadesago,whenlightweighttrucksrepresentedlessthanafifthofnew-carsales.Nowtheyaccountfornearlyhalf."Theindustrywasclaimingitdidn，thavethetechnologytoboostfueleconomy,"saysJasonMark,atransportationexpert.aWhatisrevolutionaryinFord，sandGM'sannouncementsisthattheyarecallingtheirownbluff.”Thereasonmaybegenuineenvironmentalconcern.Ford，snewchairman,WilliamClayFordJr.hasvowedtomakethecompanyabettercorporatecitizen.Hehasexpressedfearsthatautocompaniescouldbescornedliketobaccocompaniesiftheydon，tcleanuptheiract.Similarly,GMhassoughttopositionitselfastheenvironmentallyconsciouscarcompany,beginningin1996whenitlaunchedthenation，sfirstmodern,mass-producedelectriccar,theEV-1.Butbothcompanies,whichaccountforhalfofthe

11力使燃料经济性的规定变得更加严格。第26题：Thepassageismainlyabout.A.thecompetitionbetweenFordandGMtolaunchgas-guzzlingvehicles.B.thecompetitionbetweenFordandGMtobetheenvironmentalleader.C.thereasonswhycarsandtrucksareamajorsourceofglobalwarming.D.thereasonswhyfueleconomyshouldbetightened.参考答案：B答案解析：［考点］文章主题［分析］第一段最后一句话点明文章的主题：最近人们发现，这两家公司却在为谁的汽车更省油而争吵不休。紧接着讲了两家公司各自都称自己是环保方面的先锋，并分析了它们开始注重生产更省燃料的汽车的原因，故［B］是正确答案。［A］是两公司以前的做法，不是本文谈论的中心；［C］和［D］都只是文章一部分的内容。第27题：ThedebatebetweenFordandGMwastriggeredby.A.GM'svicechairman，sanger.B・GM'simprovementintruckfueleconomy.C.Ford，sCEO,sannouncementtoreporters.D.Ford，sdifferentwaysofdoingthings.参考答案：c答案解析：［考点］局部细节［分析］在第二段中讲到通用副董事长对福特声称自己是环保先锋感到非常气愤，并宣布通用其实比福特在各方面都领先一步；第三段又讲，虽然他这样的语气显得有些过于咄咄逼人，但始作俑者就是福特公司。所以两公司之间的争论是由六天前福特总裁对记者们所做的声明而起，故［C］是正确答案。第28题：Thesentence”…theyarecallingtheirownbluffw(Lines6-7,Para.4)mostprobablymeans.A.theyarethreateningeachothertodowhattheywanttodo.B.theyarechallengingthemselvesbydoingwhattheyareincapableof.C.theyarechallengingthemselvesbydoingwhattheyareincapableof.D.theyaresayingthattheythemselveshavebeenfalselypretending.参考答案：D答案解析：［考点］难句理解［分析］在第四段中谈到，汽车工业以前总是说没有足够的技术提高燃料的使用效率，而现在通用和福特两公司却很快推出自己的节省燃料环保汽车，并各自声称是环保先锋。由此可见，它们是在承认自己以前是在撒谎，故［D］是正确答案。第29题:FordandGMwouldbescornediftheydon，t.A.payattentiontofueleconomy.

12A.learnfromtobaccocompanies.B.turnoutnewmodelsofvehicles.C.stopactingagainstfueleconomylaw.参考答案：A答案解析：［考点］局部细节［分析］在第五段中讲到通用和福特的姿态可能真的是出于对环境保护的关心。据福特新董事长所说，汽车公司如不洁身自好，可能会像烟草公司一样遭人唾骂。通用也已把自身定位为一家关心环保事业的公司。也就是说，如果汽车公司还像以前一样竞相生产耗油量大的汽车，而不注重燃料的经济性，必将会像烟草公司一样受到唾骂，故［A］是正确答案。［B］“向烟草公司学习”，这与原文不符，原文意思是汽车公司应该吸取烟草公司的教训，而不是向他们学习；［C］只说生产出新型汽车，没有说明应该是节省燃料的新型汽车；［D］“停止违反节省燃料法”，文章中没有说两公司违反了该法，而只说它们可能利用了法律中的一个漏洞。第30题:Risingcostofgasolinemightleadto.A.publicrelationsskirmishbetweenAmericaandothercountries.B.GMandFordcompetingtoturnoutmorefuel-efficientcars.C.peoplehavingtocuttheirconsumptionofgasoline.D.GMandFordcuttingthepricesoftheirnewmodels.参考答案：B答案解析：［考点］局部细节［分析］根据最后一段，汽油价格的上涨，会使消费者觉得突然之间加满油箱怎么要这么多钱！因此这也迫使汽车公司不得不推出更省油的汽车，故［B］是正确答案。其他几个选项均不符合原文意思。IntheUS,pollafterpollhasshownamajorityinfavourofanimalexperimentation,evenwithoutstatementsaboutitsvalue.WhyisopinioninBritainsodifferent?Ithinkthattherearetworeasons.Thefirstisthesuccessofantivivisectioncampaignersinlampooninganimalresearchasoutdated,intentionallycruel,“bad”science,whichachievesnothing.Alldrugsandproceduresdevelopedwiththehelpofanimaltestsaresaidtobedangerous.Theoccasionalfailureofanimaltestingtoidentifyadangerousdrugisdeployedasanargumentforabandoningsafetytestsinvolvinganimalsaltogether-withnomentionoftheterriblehumansufferingthatthiswouldcause.Theysaythat“alternative”methodsalreadyexistforallanimalexperiments,butthefactisthatthelawspecificallyforbidsanimaluseifthereisanyalternative.Thesecondreasonisthatscientistsanddoctorshavefailedtoopposesuchmisrepresentation.Intheearly1990s,animalrightscampaigningintheUSwasmetwithmuchmoreforthrightdefence,notonlybythemajorscientificsocieties,fundingagenciesandmedicalorganisations,butalsobytheUSgovernment.Tobepositive,therearemanyencouragingfeaturesoftheNewScientistpoll.

14[B]意为：他们对动物实验的益处不了解。第五段指出，很明显，英国人不知道动物实验和他们所接受的医疗之间的相互关系。大部分被调查的人错误地认为，没有动物实验他们同样可以受益于医疗服务。难怪有这么多人反对动物实验。第33题:Tocorrectthesituation,theauthorsuggeststhat.A.onlysomeanimalsshouldbeusedforresearchB.scientistsanddoctorsshouldrespecttheviewsofthepublicC.thebenefitsofanimaltestsshouldbemadewidelyknownD.thedebateonanimaltestsbeputtoaseriouspublicpoll参考答案：C答案解析：[C]第六段指出，虽然公众有待于去说服，但他们的反应却是基于一些误解。向公众提供诚实的证据，不仅是用动物做实验的人的责任，而且是那些依靠这种实验开展工作的科学家的责任。最重要的责任在政府身上，它应该向公众一一特别是年轻人一一提供公众所需要的、也是应该得到的实在的证据。这里所谓的honestevidence指医学离不开动物实验、并且人们已受益于动物实验这一事实。[D]意为：有关动物实验这个问题应该进行严肃的民意测验。第34题:Theauthor，sattitudetowardsanimalresearchis.A.negativeB.questioningC.neutralD.positive参考答案：D答案解析：[D]从以上分析可以看出，作者对动物实验持积极的支持态度。第35题：Thepassageismainlyconcernedwith.A.supportingapositionB.refutingsomeargumentsC.describingacaseD.presentinganewperspective参考答案：B答案解析：[B]第一段提到，美国人赞成动物实验，但英国人不赞同。在第二、第三段，作者提到了英国人不赞成动物实验的理由，下文对这些理由进行了分析和驳斥，并表达了自己支持动物实验的立场。

16第一段指出，对任何正义社会来说，一个核心原则是每个人都有同等的“生活、自由、追求幸福”的权利，珍视他人的正当权利是社会得以存在的基础。在一个有道德的社会中，生命的珍贵价值应该得到高度尊重，那些不尊重其他人生命的人等于放弃了自己作为社会成员的权利。所以，侵犯了他人生命权利的人一一特别是那些惯犯一一应该被处以极刑(ultimatepenalty)o［A］意为：饶恕杀人行为。［D］意为：推进共同的善。第37题：Thephilosophyof“aneyeforaneye,atoothforatooth,andalifeforalife".A.isnotthebasisforChristianloveB.isthechiefargumentagainstultimatepenaltyC.isadoctrineforadministeringAgapeD.isasupportforrestraintbutnotrevenge参考答案：A答案解析：［A］第三段第二句指出，用否定的措辞来说，它不会遵循“以眼还眼、以牙还牙、一命还一命”的生活哲学办事。putnegatively这里实际上是说用一个否定句(而不是一个肯定句)来回答。本句是一个否定句。［C］意为：是实施博爱的一个原则。［D］意为：是对限制而不是报复的支持。第38题:Agapebelievesthat.A.anywrongdoershouldbeexpelledfromanidealcommunityB.thosewhothreatenothers'livesshouldbepermanentlyrestrainedC.tosafeguardthecommunityisthedutyofanyidealsocietyD.anywrongdoingshouldbeconsideredtobecorrigible参考答案：D答案解析：［D］意为：任何犯罪行为都应该被看做是可纠正的。第三段最后一句指出，博爱思想要求人坚信，即使我们中最坏的人也能被挽救(redeem)过来，并最终实现其潜在的、服务于他人的意识。［B］不对。与原文相比，该选择项缺乏一个必要条件permanentlyifnecessary。参阅第三段第四句。［C］意为：保护社会是每个理想社会中各成员的责任。原文没有提到这一观点。第39题:AccordingtotheprincipleofAgape,apersonwhocommitsmurdershouldbeconfinedwithaviewto.A.safeguardhislifeagainstrevengeB.preventhimfromcommittingothercrimesC.punishhimforwhathehasdoneD.returnviolencewithviolence参考答案：B答案解析：[B]

17根据第三段第四句，对于那些不尊重生命的人(指犯下本段第一句中提到的罪恶的人)，应该将他们管束起来一一如果必要的话就终身管束，以便他们不再危害其他社会成员。第40题：Inthispassage,theauthor.A.isinterestedinsupportinganideaB.istryingtorefutealong-heldmisconceptionC.supportsforargumentagainstcapitalpunishmentD.doesnotgivehisopinionontheissuediscussed参考答案：D答案解析：[D]文章第一段提到了支持死刑的基本观点，第二、第三段提到了反对死刑的基本观点，最后一段总结说，以上就是支持和反对死刑的论点：一个建立在公正和道德社会的本质之上，一个建立在博爱和理想的精神社会的本质之上。可见，作者并没有表示支持哪种观点。多项选择Poeticsnowfalls,frozenlandscapesandicyconditionsinwinterarehealthhazards,especiallyforolderpeople.Bytakingcertain(1),youcandiminishwinterhealth(2)andgreatlyenjoytheserenityoftheseason.Bonefractures(3)byfallsareoneofthemostcommonwintertimehealthrisksfortheelderly.Slipperyconditionsandheavy,(4)clothingcausemanyspillsinthewinter.Bonefragilityassociatedwithagingcanturnaminortumbleintoaserious(5).Themostcommonfracturesamongtheelderlyarethewristfracturescaused(6)ahandisusedtobreakafall.Hipfracturesalsomay(7)andcanleadtolong-termdifficultywalkingandtoreduced(8).Topreventwintertimefalls,wearflatshoeswithgoodtreads.(9),rememberthatbulkyclothingmakeswalkingmoredifficultandthelossof(10)morelikely.Dressascomfortablyaspossibleto(11)mobility.Thebestprecaution(12)fallsistoavoidgoingoutin(13)weather,especiallyduringandfollowingstorms.(14)extrafoodandsuppliesathome.(15)anoutingisnecessary,asksomeonetohelpanddonotcarryheavybagsorpackages.Usegreatcautionwhendrivingand(16)of“blackice”,thinsheetsoficethatarenoteasily(17)andthatoftencollectonroadsafterrainsandsnowplowing.Heartattackcausedbyliftingheavy(18)suchassnow-filledshovelsisanotherwintertimehealthrisk.Olderpeoplewithheartdiseaseshould(19)avoidsnowshovelingandother(20)actssuchaspushinganeighbor，scaroutofasnowdrift.第41题:A.measuresB.precautions

18A.stepsB.actions参考答案：B答案解析：［考点］上下文推理［分析］四个选项中的词均可与take构成动宾搭配。［A］takemeasures意为"采取措施"；［B］takeprecautions意为“采取预防措施”；［Cltakesteps意为“采取步骤”；［D］takeactions意为“采取行动”。从上下文意思看，短文第一句指出冬天的降雪、冰冻的路面状况对老年人的健康都构成了危险。第二、三段分别提到如何防止这些危险的发生。因此空格处填入［B］precautions（预防措施）最为确切。第42题:A.risksB.misfortunesC.attacksD.failures参考答案：A答案解析：［考点］上下文推理［分析］此处相关部分的意思是“通过采取某些预防措施，你可以减少冬天在健康方面的。”根据句意，空格处应填入［A］risk（风险,危险）。从上下文看，［B］misfortune（不幸）不如risk贴切;［C］attack（袭击，发作）和［D］failure（衰退，减弱）均与题意不符。第43题:A.resultedB.renderedC.causedD.led参考答案：C答案解析：［考点］近义动词辨析［分析］前三个选项的动词意思相近，但用法不同。［A］result是不及物动词，不能用于被动语态，因而可首先排除；［B］render（使得，致使）常与形容词搭配使用。如：torendersth.useless/torendersb.unabletodosth.,因而也不合适；［C］cause（产生，引起）是及物动词，从语法和意思上都符合题意，所以是正确答案；［D］lead（带领）与句意大相径庭；leadto的意思才是“导致，引起”。第44题：A.embarrassingB.awkwardC.obsolete

19A.wrinkled参考答案：B答案解析：［考点］近义形容词辨析［分析］此处相关部分的意思是“路面滑加上厚而—的衣服导致冬天经常摔倒。”显然，摔倒与所穿的衣服是否obsolete（过时的）或wrinkled（起皱的）无关，因此，［C］obsolete和［D］wrinkled都不合适;第二段中提到：bulkyclothingmakeswalkingmoredifficult...（鼓鼓囊囊的衣服使走路更不方便），［B］awkward（笨拙的，不灵活的）与bulky在短文中意思较近，因此是正确答案；［A］embarrassing意为“令人窘迫的”，与题意无关。第45题：A.breakdownB.fractureC.stumbleD.injury参考答案：B答案解析：［考点］近义名词辨析［分析］［A］breakdown意为"（身体、精神）垮、衰竭”；［B］fracture意为"骨折"；［C］stumble意为"跌"；［D］injury意为“伤害，损害”。从本句和下句的意思推断，空格处应填入［B］。句子的意思是“骨头脆弱加上年龄大有可能使得不太严重的摔跤造成严重的骨折”。第46题：A.untilB.whileC.whenD.before参考答案：C答案解析：［考点］逻辑关系［分析］此句说明老年人身上常见的腕部骨折是什么时候发生的。［A］until（直到）填入空格，意思明显不对；［D］before（在之前）填入空格，句意与实际发生的情况正好相反；：B］while和［C］when都可表达“当时”，但while表示两个动作同时发生，持续的时间较长或从句的动作比主句的动作长。when表示一个动作紧接着另一个动作发生。因此根据句意，应选择［C］。第47题：A.aggravateB.occurC.deteriorateD.incur参考答案：B

20答案解析：［考点］上下文推理［分析］上一句提到，腕部骨折是发生在老年人身上最常见的骨折。由此句中的Hipfracturesalsomay...（股骨折也会）可推知，空格处应填入［B］occur（发生）。［A］aggravate意为“加重，加剧"，［C］deteriorate意为“恶化”，二者都与句意不符合；［D］incur（招致，惹起）是及物动词，从语法和意思上都讲不通。第48题：A.capacityB.stabilityC.toleranceD.independence参考答案：D答案解析：［考点］近义名词辨析［分析］空格所在的部分讲的是股骨折导致的另一个结果。［A］capacity意为"能力"；［Bistability意为“安定，稳定"；［C］tolerance意为“容忍,耐心"；［D］independence意为“独立”。根据常识，股骨折的结果可能是长时间行走困难或不能单独行走。因此，空格处应填入［D］independenceoreducedindependence意为"独立性下降”，在本文中指不能独自走路。第49题:A.NeverthelessB.ThusC.AlsoD.Then参考答案：C答窠解析：［考点］逻辑关系［分析］本段着重谈了老年人如何防止冬天摔倒。前三句都是忠告。因此，空格处需填入一个表示递进关系的连接词。四个选项中，能表示递进关系的副词只有［C］also（而且），所以正确答案为［C］o［A］nevertheless（然而）表示转折关系；［B］thus（因此）表示因果关系；［D］then（然后）表示顺序关系，它们均不符合上下文语气的要求。第50题：A.balanceB.directionC.weightD.health参考答案：A答案解析：［考点］上下文推理［分析］此处相关部分的意思是“鼓鼓囊囊的衣服使得行走更加困难而且更有可能失去。”根据句意，空格处应填入［A］balance（平衡）。［B］direction（方向）、［C］weight（重量）和［D］health（健康）都与句意相差甚远。

21第51题：A.minimizeB.maximizeC.adjustD.manipulate参考答案：B答案解析：［考点］上下文推理［分析］此句是作者就如何预防摔跤的忠告。显然，穿得尽量舒适的目的是为了增强灵活性，而不是减少灵活性。因此［B］maximize（把……增加到最大限度）为正确答案。［A］minimize（把……减少到最低限度）与题意正好相反；［C］adjust（调整）和［D］manipulate（操纵，控制）都与句意不符。第52题：A.towardB.forC.againstD.about参考答案：C答窠解析：［考点］介词用法［分析］［A］toward常表示方向，意为“面对，朝，对"；［B］for表示目的、对象、用途等，意为“为了，给"；［C］against意为“以……为防御对象，防备"；［D］about意为“关于，对于"。根据句意，空格处应填入［C］againstoprecaution习惯上后接against,意为“针对的预防措施”。第53题：A.stormyB.nastyC.rareD.unusual参考答案：B答案解析：［考点］上下文推理［分析］［C］rare（稀有的，难得的）和［D］unusual（不平常的）均没有具体说明天气状况，因而不符合句意；［A］stormy（有暴风雨的）与句中的storm重复，因此也不正确；［B］nasty意为“（天气等）非常恶劣的”，符合句意，是正确答案。第54题：A.DepositB.LeaveC.KeepD.Purchase

22参考答案：C答案解析：［考点］近义动词辨析［分析］LA］deposit意为“存放，储蓄"，不与food搭配；Mleave意为“留下"，［D］purchase意为“购买”，二者都与句意不符；［C］keep意为“保存，保留”，符合句意，因此是正确答案。第55题：A.UnlessB.IfC.SinceD.Although参考答案：B答案解析：［考点］逻辑关系［分析］［A］unless（除非）和［B］if（如果）都表示条件，但意思正好相反；［C］since（由于）表示原因；［D］although（虽然）表示让步。从逻辑关系分析，从句相对于主句而言，表示肯定的条件关系，因此正确答案为［B］。第56题：A.bewareB.ascertainC.inspectD.caution参考答案：A答案解析：［考点］近义动词辨析［分析］空格处要求填入一个后接of的动词。［B］ascertain（弄清,查明）后直接跟宾语，如：ascertainthetruesituation（查明真实情况）；［C］inspect（检查）也是及物动词，不接of；［D］caution（告诫，警告）后直接跟宾语，而且意思上也不合适。只有［A］beware（谨防，当心）后可接of,符合题意，是正确答案。第57题:A.moveableB.remarkableC.visibleD.accessible参考答案：C答案解析：［考点］上下文推理［分析］［A］moveable意为“可移动的，活动的”；［B］remarkable意为“引人注目的"；［C］visible意为“看得见的”；［D］accessible意为“易接近的”。根据上下文，司机开车时要当心的应是不容易看见的冰。四个选项中，符合题意的只有

23［C］。第58题:A.goodsB.instrumentsC.appliancesD.objects参考答案：D答案解析：［考点］上下文推理［分析］［A］goods意为“商品，货物"；［B］instruments意为“仪器，器械"；［C］appliances意为"装置"；［D］objects意为“物体,物件”。从空格后的例子推断，正确答案应为［D］。第59题:A.relativelyB.absolutelyC.decisivelyD.voluntarily参考答案：B答案解析：［考点］上下文推理［分析］根据常识，患有心脏病的老人应该绝对（absolutely）而不是相对（relatively）避免铲雪和其他一些体力重活。［C］decisively（决定性地）和［D］voluntarily（自愿地）与题意明显不符。因此正确答案为［B］absolutely（绝对地）。第60题:A.vigorousB.toughC.strenuousD.harmful参考答案：C答案解析：［考点］上下文推理［分析］由句中suchas引出的例子推断，应该选择［C］strenuous(费劲的，费力的)来修饰acts。［A］vigorous(精力旺盛的)常用于修饰人；［B］tough(艰苦的，困难的)和［D］harmful(有害的)都不如［C］恰当。多项填空ByzantinechurchgivesupthesecretofitslongevityTheimposingsightoftheHagiaSophiachurchhaswowedvisitorstoIstanbulfor15centuries.(1)(Butasidefromitstoweringbeauty,theByzantinebuildingisalsoremarkablebecauseithassomehowwithstoodearthquakesthathavefelledmanynearby
