7、 in California report in Nature, in a paper published online in advance, that a greater number of individual households, each containing on average fewer people, meant more pressure on natural resources.Towns and cities began to sprawl (蔓延) as new homes were built. Each household needed fuel to heat

8、 and light it; each household required its own plumbing, cooking and refrigeration. “In larger households, the efficiency of resource consumption will be a lot higher, because more people share things.” Dr Liu said. He and his colleagues looked at the population patterns of life in 141 countries, in

9、cluding 76 “hotspot” regions unusually rich in a variety of local wildlife. These hot spots included Australia, New Zealand, the US, Brazil, China, India, Kenya, and Italy. They found that between 1985 and 2000 in the “hotspot” parts of the globe, the annual 3.1% growth rate in the number of househo

10、lds was far higher than the population growth rate of 1.8%. “Had the average household size remained at the 1985 level,” the scientists report, “there would have been 155 million fewer households in hotspot countries in 2000”.Dr Lius work grew from the alarming discovery that the giant pandas living

20、exploding.（生物学家研究地球上日益减少的生物多样性所带来的压力，今天报告了一个新的警报理由。尽管人口的增长率在下降，但个体家庭的数量却在激增。）也就是说生物多样性的减少是由于个体家庭数量的激增，因此A选项符合题意。B选项“人类正在威胁许多野生动物”；文章没有提到；C选项“近年来人口一直在减少”，不是原因；D选项“野生动物依赖更多的个体家庭”，无关项。57.事实细节题。根据题干信息定位到第六段的第一句话In larger households, the efficiency of resource consumption will be a lot higher, because mo

21、re people share things.（在规模更大的家庭中，资源消耗的效率会高得多，因为更多的人分享东西。）因此A选项“大家庭在消耗自然资源方面比小家庭更有效率”正确。B选项“无论是大家庭还是小家庭都需要相同数量的自然资源”；C选项“小家庭生活更奢侈”以及D选项“大家庭生活更节俭”都是原文没有提到的。58.事实细节题。根据题干定位到第八段的最后一句The local population had grown, but the total number of homes had increased more swiftly, to make greater inroads into th

22、e bamboo forests.（当地人口增长了，但房屋的总数增长得更快，从而对竹林产生了更大的影响。）可知，小规模家庭的增多，意味着对自然生态的破坏就越多，生物的多样性就会减少，因此D选项“个体家庭的增加导致了生物多样性的减少”正确。A选项“当地人不介意保护自然环境”，并没有体现；B选项“当地人应该进一步控制人口的增长”，过度推断；C选项“当地人口的增加导致了生物多样性的减少”，并不是人口的增多，而是小规模家庭的增多，错误。59.事实细节题。根据题干关键词定位到最后一段最后一句话Environmental campaigners have claimed that between a qu

23、arter and a half of all the species on earth could become extinct in the next century.（环保人士声称，地球上四分之一到一半的物种可能在下个世纪灭绝。）通过这句话可知，人口的增多，将导致更多的生物物种在下个世纪灭绝。因此D选项“下个世纪将有更多的野生物种灭绝”正确。A选项“下个世纪人们生活水平的下降”；B选项“下个世纪生活环境的恶化”以及C选项“下个世纪更多野生物种的繁殖”都不符合原文。60.主旨大意题。在第二段中Biologists studying the pressure on the planets d

25、ber of homes had increased more swiftly, to make greater inroads into the bamboo forests.（当地人口增长了，但房屋的总数增长得更快，从而对竹林产生了更大的影响。）都可以得知研究人员发现小规模家庭的增多，势必会消耗更多的能源，破坏更多的生态平衡，也就导致了生物多样性的减少，因此C选项“地球的生物多样性也与家庭的数量有关”正确。A选项“人口的增长导致了对自然世界更多的破坏”；B选项“动物数量的减少是由于自然界生物多样性的减少”以及“地球的生物多样性依赖于大大小小的家庭的平衡增长”，都不能阐释文章的主题。6. 翻

26、译题The average person sees tens of thousands of images a day-images on television, in newspapers and magazines, and on the sides of buses. Images also grace soda cans and T-shirts, and Internet search engines can instantly procure images for any word you type. Today, anyone with a digit camera and a

27、PC can produce and alter an image. As a result, the power of the image has been diluted in one sense, but strengthened in another. It has been dilute by the ubiquity of images and the many popular technologies that give almost everyone the power to create, distort, and transit images. But it has bee

28、n strengthened by the gradual surrender of the printed word to pictures.We love images and the democratizing power of technologies that give us the capability to make and manipulate images. What we are less eager to consider are broader cultural effects of a society devoted to the image. Historians

29、have explored the story of mankinds movement from an oral-based culture to a written culture, and later to a printed one. But in the past several decades, we have begun to move from a culture based on the printed word to one based largely on images. In making images rather than texts our guide, are

30、we opening up new vistas for understanding and expression, creating a new form of communication that is “better than print,” as some scholars have argued? Or are we merely making a peculiar and unwelcome return to forms of communication once ascendant in preliterate societies? Two things in particul

31、ar are at stake in our contemporary confrontation with an image-based culture. First, technology has considerably undermined our ability to trust what we see, yet we have not adequately grappled with the effects of this on our notions of truth. Second, if we are indeed moving from the era of the pri

32、nted word to an era dominated by the image, what impact will this have on culture?【答案】普通人每天会在电视上、报纸上、杂志上和公交车上看到成千上万的图像。汽水罐和T恤上也有图像，互联网搜索引擎可以立即为你输入的任何单词获取图像。今天，任何人只要有一台数码相机和一台电脑就可以制作和修改图像。因此，形象的力量在某种意义上被稀释了，但在另一种意义上被加强了。它已经被无处不在的图像和许多流行的技术冲淡了，这些技术几乎给了每个人创造、扭曲和传送图像的能力。但印刷文字逐渐向图片屈服，使其更加强大。我们喜欢图像，也喜欢技术的

33、民主化，它让我们有能力制作和处理图像。我们不太愿意考虑的是一个致力于这一形象的社会所产生的更广泛的文化影响。历史学家探索了人类从口述文化到书面文化，再到印刷文化的发展历程。但在过去的几十年里，我们已经开始从一种基于印刷文字的文化转向一种主要基于图像的文化。让图像而非文本成为我们的向导，我们是否为理解和表达开辟了新的前景，创造了一种正如一些学者所说的“比印刷更好”的交流新形式？或者，我们仅仅是在以一种奇特的、不受欢迎的方式回归到曾经在文字出现前的社会中盛行的交流方式？在我们当代与以形象为基础的文化的对抗中，尤其有两件事会处于危险之中。首先，技术大大削弱了我们相信所见事物的能力，但我们还没有充分应

34、对这对我们的真理观念所产生的影响。第二，如果我们真的从印刷文字的时代进入了一个以图像为主导的时代，这将对文化产生怎样的影响?7. 单选题The poet Carlos William was a New Jersey physician.问题1选项A.professorB.doctorC.physicistD.resident【答案】B【解析】考查名词辨析。physician“内科大夫”， A选项professor“教授”；B选项doctor“医生”；C选项physicist“物理学家”；D选项resident“居民”。句意：诗人威廉姆卡洛斯是新泽西州的一名内科大夫。只有B选项与physici

44、利用的，可获得的，可找到的”；D选项possible“合理的，合适的（强调客观上有可能性,但常常带有实际可能性很小的含义）”。句意：科学家们已经在研究利用北极和南极的一些_冰的可能性。而本句强调的应该是“可以利用的冰”，因此C选项符合题意。23.考查名词辨析。A选项parts“零件，部件”；B选项regions“地区，地域”；C选项countries“国家”；D选项oceans“海洋”。句意：这些_有巨大的冰帽由过去5万年的降雪形成。而我们根据常识知道，北极和南极只能算是地区，因为那边并没有国家，因此B选项符合题意。24.考查介词辨析。A选项of“的”；B选项on“在上”；C选项upon“在上

45、”；D选项and“和，以及”。句意：一层又一层的厚厚的积雪意味着。B选项和C选项在多数场合下是可以互换的，但是layer upon layer意为“层层”，是固定用法，因此C选项符合题意。25.考查时间状语从句。A选项when“当时”；B选项as“作为”；C选项after“在之后”；D选项before“在之前”。句意：一层又一层的厚厚的积雪意味着，_雪融化，雪水将是纯净的，而不是像海冰那样含盐。这里引导的是一个时间状语从句，意为“当雪融化时，”只有A选项可以引导时间状语从句，因此A选项符合题意。26.考查形容词辨析。A选项good“好的”；B选项possible“可能的，合理的”；C选项per

46、petual“永久的，不断的”；D选项potential“潜在的，可能的”。句意：这里有如此多的_纯净水，只需一小部分就能将世界上大部分沙漠或灌溉不足的地区变成肥沃的农田。本句可以通过推理得出答案，雪水是需要冰山融化才能获得，也就是说并不是已经存在的，而是需要经过一些步骤才能得到，因此它应该是“潜在的纯净水”，因此D选项符合题意。27.考查名词辨析。A选项factor“因素，要素”；B选项fraction“分数，部分”；C选项framework“框架，结构”；D选项foundation“基础，地基”。句意：这里有如此多的潜在纯净水，只需_就能将世界上大部分沙漠或灌溉不足的地区变成肥沃的农田。本

48、说到的是将融化的纯净水分给一些缺水地区，那么这里不难得出，应该是将这些冰“运过去”，给缺水地区使用，因此A选项符合题意。30.考查修饰语。A选项pass“通过（v.）”；B选项passing“经过的（adj.）”；C选项past“过去的，之前的（adj.）”；D选项passed“已经通过的”。句意：或者，也可以捕捉路过的冰山。本句表达的是“捕捉路过的冰山”，需要填入一个形容词，并且没有表示过去时的含义，因此B选项符合题意。31.考查副词辨析。A选项around“在四周，在附近”；B选项above“在上，超过”；C选项everywhere“到处”；D选项again“又一次，此外”。句意：它们总是

49、脱离主帽，_漂浮。这句所表达的意思是，它们会脱离主帽，四处漂浮，因此A选项符合题意。32.考查时间状语。A选项when“当时候”；B选项after“在之后”；C选项before“在之前”；D选项until“直到”。句意：它们总是脱离主冰帽，在洋流的推动下四处漂浮，_最终融化并被浪费掉。而根据句子的逻辑，表达的应该是：它一直四处漂浮，直到最终被融化掉。因此D选项符合题意。33.考查固定搭配。A选项all“所有的”；B选项more“更多的”；C选项every“每一个”；D选项much“大量的”。句意：当然，许多冰山_，无法被拖到远的地区。这里考查much too固定搭配，意为“太，非常”，而本句要

51、融化。由于它们太容易融化，因此应该是到达任何需要它们的国家之前就会融化，因此C选项符合题意。36.考查动词辨析。A选项draw“拉，拖（通常指拖或拉向自己,多指拖拉较轻的物体，不太费力，有持续平稳地“拉”）”；B选项use“使用”；C选项pull“拉，拖（指用力“拉”，但不强调力的大小和“拉”的方式，用得比较广泛）”；D选项harness“治理，利用”。句意：有必要_一个易于管理的，而且足够大的（物件），保证当它（冰山）到达我们这里之前能够提供充足的供应。这句表达的是，“利用一个这样的物体，来帮助冰山不融化”，其他选项代入均不符合原意，因此D选项符合题意。37.考查名词辨析。A选项supply

52、“供给，补充”；B选项usage“使用，用法”；C选项potential“潜能，可能性”；D选项storage“存储，储存”。句意：有必要利用一个易于管理的，而且足够大的（物件），保证当它（冰山）到达我们这里之前能够提供充足的_。这句话表达的是“在冰山到达需要它的地方之前要能够有东西提供充足的供应（让冰山不融化）”，而其他几个选项代入可发现与原意并不相符，因此A选项符合题意。38.考查名词辨析。A选项tall“高度（多指由顶到底的长度，尤其指比较细长的东西，如人、树、建筑物等，一般用于口语）”；B选项broad“宽度（侧重于幅面的宽广）”；C选项high“高度（形容高出地面或其他物体的东西，也

53、可修饰任何比普通或一定标准高的事物，一般用于书面语）”；D选项wide“宽度（侧重于一边到另一边的距离）”。句意：工程师们认为，一个长11千米、宽2千米的冰山，如果拖船像超级油轮那么大，就可以运输。根据前面的“长为11千米”，可以判断出此处空格处要表示的是“宽为”，而英语中一般用wide来形容，因此D选项符合题意。39.考查连词辨析。A选项Therefore“因此，所以”；B选项However“然而”；C选项Thus“因此，从而”；D选项Although“尽管，虽然”。句意：_，冰山一旦到达目的地，就可以从其中抽取超过70亿立方米的水！本句需要把握前后两句的逻辑关系，前面一直都在说冰山搬运的困

54、难程度，而这一句却说道“山一旦到达目的地，就可以从其中抽取超过70亿立方米的水”，两句之间有明显得转折关系，因此B选项符合题意。40.考查名词辨析。A选项terminal“航空站”；B选项end“结束，末端”；C选项stop“停止，车站”；D选项destination“目的地”。句意：然而，冰山一旦到达_，就可以从其中抽取超过70亿立方米的水！根据前文的描述，不难得出这句表达的是“冰山一旦到达目的地（需要它的国家）”，因此D选项符合题意。10. 单选题In education, there should be a good（ ）among the branches of knowledge t

56、杨树，上面曾经有一个大大的鸟巢。在无数个从外地归来的日子里，远远地看见我家后面树上的鸟巢，心中立即就升腾起亲切温暖的感觉。我也曾经指点着那个鸟巢给我没过门的妻子说：“看见了吗？那下面就是我们的家。”后来鸟巢渐渐少了。村里没有了树木，也就没有了鸟巢。村西北角二里路的地方有一个鸟巢，成为我们村土地上唯一的一个鸟巢。其实，鸟巢实在是鸟儿们给人类的一种恩赐 (a special reward)，是鸟儿们赏赐给人类保护自然、保护环境的勋章，是鸟儿们戴在人类头上的光荣的桂冠 (a laureate)。鸟儿越多，你的功劳越大，光荣也越多。没有鸟巢的村庄不能算村庄，要算也只能算是耻辱 (shame)的村庄。所

57、幸的是在我们村庄周围，鸟巢又一个接一个地建起来了。【答案】Then the nests became fewer and fewer.When there are no trees in the village, there is no nest.

60、生物体，不论其独特的特性如何，都有某些共同的生物、化学和物理特性。根据句意，可以看出C选项符合题意。13. 单选题Prior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, which is a

61、 key factor in language maintenance and preservation.It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic and cultural diversity in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against it: population growth, which pushes migrant populations into the worlds last isolated lo

62、cations; mass tourism; global tele-communications and mass media; and the spread of gigantic global corporations. All of these forces appear to signify a future in which the language of advertising, popular culture, and consumer products become similar. Already English and a few other major tongues have emerged as global languages of commerce and communication. F
