5、ian forces to retreat within one year.About 30 years later the building of the Parthenon began. Construction took place between 447 and 432 B.C. During the rule of Pericles, the Parthenon was constructed on the same site as an unfinished structure intended to honor the men who had lost their life in

6、 an earlier battle against the Persians. The Parthenon would stand as a symbol of the strength lives and importance of the Greek people.LocationMany important cities in ancient Greece had an acropolis, or “high city”, on which people constructed important buildings. The acropolis was the highest and

7、 most defensible location, so it also served as a fortress in the event of enemy attack. The Parthenon is located about 500 feet above the city of Athens. Before the Parthenon could be built, some areas of the acropolis had to be leveled down, and other areas had to be built up. Then a large, solid

8、foundation was constructed out to limestone blocks. The entire area was buttressed by a reinforcing wall.DescriptionThe Parthenon is a rectangular structure consisting of two inner areas surrounded by columns. There are eight columns at each end and seventeen columns along each side. It is a large s

It required between 20,000 and 30,000 tons of marble that had to be precisely carved so that huge blocks

10、 of it could be fitted together without mortar to form the columns and interior walls.Perhaps even more impressive are the “optical corrections” that were used. The columns bulge slightly in the middle because experience had shown the Greeks that perfectly straight columns would not look straight to

The columns were also designed to lean inward slightly because perfectly perpendicular columns seem to slant outward. Furthermore th

17、. 怀疑C. amazement C. 惊讶D. disapproval D. 反对【考查点】推理判断题【解题思路】本题询问的是作者如何看待帕台农神庙。原文首段提到“希腊雅典的帕台农神庙可能是地球上最令人难忘的（the most Memorable）建筑之一”；中间各段分别介绍了神庙的背景、地址、建筑特征等；原文最后一段提到“它是对希腊人民持久文化的永恒致敬（a timeless tribute），被认为是理念和建设方面的卓越典范（a model of excellence in concept and construction）”，以及“这种建筑风格是古希腊人送给现代世界的永恒礼物（a la

18、sting gift）”。由此可知，作者整体上是赞扬这个神庙的，惊讶于它的成就，语气也比较正式和认真，C选项“惊讶”最符合题意。【干扰项排除】A选项“娱乐”、B选项“怀疑”、D选项“反对”不符合原文语气。22. 【选项释义】In this passage, the word “annihilated” means _. 在这篇文章中，“annihilated”这个词的意思是_。A. destroyed completely A. 完全摧毁B. understood B. 理解C. examined carefully C. 仔细检查D. survived D. 幸存【考查点】词汇推断题【解题思

19、路】根据题干关键词annihilated定位到原文Background小节第1段倒数第2句，该句提到“尽管（Although）波斯军队（Persian army）击溃了（overwhelmed）雅典（Athens）并将其夷为废墟，但在Themistocles的带领下，希腊海军（the Greek navy）_了波斯舰队（the Persian fleet）。”根据句意可知，前后两句句意之间存在转折关系，前一句讲到波斯军队打败了雅典，那么后一句应该是说希腊海军赢了波斯海军。并且后文提到“希腊人的胜利（victory）导致波斯军队在一年内全部撤退”，由此可知，希腊人胜利了。因此，该词的词义应该为A

20、选项“完全摧毁”。【干扰项排除】B选项“理解”、C选项“仔细检查”、D选项“幸存”不符合原文语境。23. 【选项释义】The passage suggests that most important cities in ancient Greece had an acropolis to _. 这篇文章表明，古希腊最重要的城市都有一个卫城来_。A. protect themselves in case of invasion A. 在遭受侵略时保护自己B. house a Parthenon B. 放一座帕台农神庙C. imprison the Persian forces C. 囚禁波斯军队

21、D. honor Pericles D. 纪念伯里克利【考查点】事实细节题【解题思路】根据题干关键词most important cities in ancient Greece和an acropolis定位到原文Location小节，该小节第2句提到“卫城是海拔最高、防御能力最强的地方（most defensible location），因此在敌人进攻时，它也可以作为要塞（served as a fortress in the event of enemy attack）。”由此可知，卫城的目的是用来防御的，A选项“在遭受侵略时保护自己”符合原文。【干扰项排除】B选项“放一座帕台农神庙”、C

22、选项“囚禁波斯军队”、D选项“纪念伯里克利”，非原文所说建造卫城的目的，该选项属于无中生有。24. 【选项释义】The reader can conclude that the Parthenon _. 读者可以得出结论，帕台农神庙_。A. had columns made of limestone A. 柱子是石灰石做的B. required much effort to build B. 需要付出很大的努力才能建成C. had a palace inside for the leader of Athens C. 里面有一座纪念雅典领袖的宫殿D. was never completely

23、finished D. 从未完全完成【考查点】推理判断题【解题思路】根据题干关键词Parthenon和选项关键词build定位到原文Description和Construction小节。Description小节提到“考虑到它建成的时间，它是一个很大的结构（a large structure）。它大约有200英尺长，100英尺宽。它大约有60英尺高。”另外，Construction小节第1段第2句，该句提到“它需要两万到三万吨的大理石（marble），这些大理石必须经过精确的雕刻（be precisely carved），才能在不使用灰泥的情况下（without mortar）组装成圆柱和内墙

24、。”由此可知，该神庙很大，并且工艺很复杂，B选项“需要付出很大的努力才能建成”表述正确。【干扰项排除】A选项“柱子是石灰石做的”，原文提到柱子是大理石做的，而不是石灰石，该选项表述错误；C选项“里面有一座纪念雅典领袖的宫殿”，可定位到原文Background小节，本节第2段第3句提到“在伯里克利统治时期，帕台农神庙（the Parthenon）和一座未完工的建筑建在同一地点，该未完成的建筑的目的是（an unfinished structure intended）纪念在早期与波斯人的战斗中牺牲的人。”由此可知，纪念雅典领袖的宫殿不是帕台农神庙，该选项属于张冠李戴；D选项“从未完全完成”，可定位

25、到原文Background小节，本节第2段第2句提到“建造于（Construction took place）公元前447年至432年之间”，由此可知，帕台农神庙修建完成了。并且由C选项解析可知，未完成的是另一个建筑，该选项属于张冠李戴。25. 【选项释义】What is the approximate length of the Parthenon? 帕台农神庙的大概长度是多少？A. 60 feet A. 60英尺B. 100 feet B. 100英尺C. 200 feet C. 200英尺D. 500 feet D. 500英尺【考查点】事实细节题【解题思路】根据题干关键词length

26、of the Parthenon定位到原文Description小节，该节倒数第2句提到“它大约有200英尺长（200 feet long），100英尺宽。”因此，本题答案为C选项“200英尺”。【干扰项排除】A选项“60英尺”、B选项“100英尺”、D选项“500英尺”均不符合原文。3. 单选题Some of the words employed by Shakespeare in his works have become _ and are no longer used in the present days.问题1选项A.obsoleteB.obsceneC.obviousD.obli

27、que【答案】A【解析】【选项释义】A. obsolete 废弃的 B. obscene 淫秽下流的；令人憎恶的C. obvious 明显的 D. oblique 隐晦的【考查点】句间逻辑【解题思路】根据and可知空格处所填词与后文“现在已经不再使用了（no longer used）”为并列关系，前后语义一致，因此，A选项obsolete“废弃的”符合原文。【干扰项排除】B、C、D选项不符合原文语义逻辑，没有依据。【句意】莎士比亚作品中使用的一些单词已经废弃了，现在已经不再使用了。4. 单选题As he was a thoroughly professional journalist, he

28、already knew the media _.问题1选项A.to and fromB.upside and downC.inside and outD.now and then【答案】C【解析】【选项释义】A. to and from 去和回 B. upside and down上和下C. inside and out 从里到外；彻底地 D. now and then 有时【考查点】语义衔接和固定搭配【解题思路】空格的内容在主句中做状语，主句的句意为“他对媒体_熟悉”，根据从句的句意“因为他是一位非常专业的（thoroughly professional）记者”可知，“他”应该对媒体非常熟

29、悉，C选项inside and out为固定搭配，意为“从里到外；彻底地”符合原句语义逻辑。【干扰项排除】A、B、D选项不符合原文语义逻辑。【句意】因为他是一位非常专业的记者，所以他对媒体相当熟悉。5. 单选题When snow collects on top of a building during the winter, the weight sometimes weakens the construction and occasionally causes the roof to collapse.问题1选项A.meltsB.accumulatesC.selectsD.scatters【

30、答案】B【解析】【选项释义】A. melts 融化 B. accumulates 积累C. selects 选择 D. scatters 分散【考查点】语义衔接【解题思路】后文提到“积雪的重量有时会削弱建筑结构（weakens the construction），有时会导致屋顶倒塌（causes the roof to collapse）”，雪花本来是很轻的，只有积累到一定程度才会很重，有使房屋倒塌的能力，原词collect“收集；聚集”，因此B选项accumulates“积累”与原词最接近。【干扰项排除】A选项melts“融化”，雪花融化了就更不可能有使房屋倒塌的影响力了，不符合句意；C选项

31、selects“选择”，没有依据；D选项scatters“分散”，分散了的话，重量会更轻，不会使房屋倒塌，不符合句意。【句意】当积雪在冬天堆积在建筑物顶部时，积雪的重量有时会削弱建筑结构，有时会导致屋顶倒塌。6. 单选题By a strange _, both candidates have come up with the same solution to the problem.问题1选项A.coincidenceB.encounterC.chanceD.overlap【答案】A【解析】【选项释义】A. coincidence 巧合，同时发生 B. encounter 偶然遇见C. cha

32、nce 意外，偶然，运气 D. overlap 重叠【考查点】语义衔接与名词辨析【解题思路】后文提到“两位候选人都提出了相同的解决方案”，这是一种巧合，并且该词受strange“奇怪的”修饰，因此A选项coincidence“巧合”符合原文语义。【干扰项排除】B选项encounter“偶然遇见”，指意外、突然或暴力的会面；C选项chance“意外”，与strange“奇怪的”不搭；D选项overlap“重叠”，指一个物体的一部分与另一个物体的一部分占据相同的区域。【句意】一个奇怪的巧合，两位候选人都提出了相同的解决方案。7. 单选题Even though you may be excited

33、about relocating, you may still mourn the loss of a familiar home, way of life, family and friends left behind. “Underestimating the emotional impact of moving is the biggest mistake people make,” says Patricia Nida, Psychologist and relocation consultant. “People think there is something wrong with

34、 them if they cant cope with the emotional upheaval of moving. They dont realize its normal.” When Sheila moved from Oregon to California, it took her nearly a year to feel rooted in her new community. Then two years later, the family moved back to Oregon. When we came back, I couldnt get used to th

35、em. Each time we moved, I felt like I lost a part of myself.”“Although everyone who moves feels this loss of identity to some extent, its usually most disastrous for a non-working wife”, says Dr. Seidenberg, clinical professor of psychiatry. “Her identity,” says he, “stems from her activities and th

36、e ties to the community. Relocating wipes it all out. Every time she moves, she has to re-establish her credentials.” “You cope by reaching out and finding activities and people that interest you,” adds Eileen Kirsh, a veteran of four spouse-job-related moves. “If you are lucky, you meet someone com

37、patible.”Dont avoid saying goodbye. It may seem easier at the time, but in the long run, it can create a greater sense of loss. Resist the temptation to sever ties with your old neighborhood. Maintain relationships. Allow yourself to go through the emotions associated with moving, without criticism.

38、 When you acquire your new living quarters, introduce yourself to your new neighbors. Write ahead to your new house of worship and community organizations for information on activities and services. When you finally move in, you will feel more a part of the new community. Establish family traditions

39、 that move with you. Doing things together as a family makes you feel at home, no matter where you live.Moving is a difficult experience, but it also has many advantages.

45、定位到原文第1段，本段第1句说“即使你可能对搬迁感到兴奋（be excited），你可能仍然会为失去一个熟悉的家、生活方式、家人和朋友而悲伤（mourn the loss of）。”因此，C选项“心情复杂”表述正确。【干扰项排除】A选项“犯最大的错误”，定位到第1段第2句，Patricia Nida说“低估搬家的情感影响是人们犯的最大错误”，此处有上下文限制，这句话表达的是，“低估搬家的情感影响”是人们在被搬家时犯的最大的错误；而该选项“犯最大的错误”没有语境限制，表达的是“搬家时人们犯的最大的错误”，因此，该选项表述错误，属于偷换概念；B选项“减少/小看他们的损失”，原文说的是“低估搬家的情

46、感影响”，选项表述错误，属于过度推理；D选项“有麻烦”，原文虽然说搬家很困难，但最后一段第1句也说“搬家是一种艰难的经历，但它也有很多好处（many advantages）。”该选项表述不准确，属于推理过度。14. 【选项释义】The word “upheaval” in Para. 1 is closest in meaning to _. 第1段中的“upheaval”一词的意思最接近于_。A. uplift A. 提高，增长；抬起；振奋B. violence B. 暴力；激烈C. approval C. 批准；赞成D. turbulence D. 骚乱，动荡【考查点】词汇推测题。【解题思

47、路】1）句中前后信息衔接：根据题干关键词Para. 1和upheaval定位到原文第1段第3句，该句说到“如果人们不能应对搬家带来的情绪_（the emotional upheaval of moving），他们就会认为自己有问题（something wrong with them）。”由此可知，upheaval是个名词，是搬家所引起的一种情绪上的变化，并且根据人们认为处理不好就是自己有问题这一点可推断，这种情绪变化是负面的。因此，D选项“动荡”，emotional turbulence“情绪波动”符合题意。2）上下文语义衔接：本段最后3句通过举例对此进行了进一步说明。Sheila从Orego

48、n（俄勒冈州）搬到California（加利福尼亚），花了很长时间适应新的环境；又搬回俄勒冈州时，也无法适应。她说“每次搬家，我都觉得自己好像失去了一部分（lost a part of myself）。”由此可知，这是搬家带来的情绪变化，也可推测出D选项“动荡”，emotional turbulence“情绪波动”符合题意。【干扰项排除】A选项“（情绪）振奋”，不符合负面的情感基调；B选项“暴力；激烈”，原文没有依据；C选项“批准；赞成”，不符合负面的情感基调。15. 【选项释义】Researchers have found that many people _. 研究人员发现，许多人_。A.

49、 are being ashamed of being sentimental about life A. 耻于对生活多愁善感B. 缺失 B. 缺失C. spend years deciding where to settle down C. 花数年时间决定在哪里定居D. often fail to see the advantages of moving D. 往往看不到搬家的好处【考查点】事实细节题。【解题思路】根据题干关键词Researchers和many people来解题，原文有2处地方提到了研究人员的发现。第1处，第1段第2-3句心理学家Patricia Nida的发现“如果人们不

50、能应对（cant cope with）搬家带来的情绪波动，他们就会认为自己有问题（something wrong with them）。”由此可知，人们认为搬家带来的情绪波动是不正常的，不应该有的，A选项“耻于对生活多愁善感”表述符合原文。第2处，第2段精神病学临床教授Seidenberg医生的发现“尽管每个搬家的人都会多多少少感受到这种身份的丧失（this loss of identity），但对于不工作的妻子来说，这通常是最糟糕的”，该发现与本题选项无关。【干扰项排除】B选项缺失；C选项“花数年时间决定在哪里定居”，原文并未提及，属于无中生有；D选项“往往看不到搬家的好处”，原文虽然说了搬

51、家有很多好处，但并没有说人们没有看到搬家的好处，该选项属于无中生有。16. 【选项释义】Housewives are the worst sufferers from relocating because they _. 家庭主妇受搬家的影响最大，因为她们_。A. have to find their identity again A. 要重新找到自己的身份B. dont know how to make new friends B. 不知道如何结交新朋友C. feel it difficult to get used to different climate C. 觉得适应不同的气候很困难D

52、. have to move when their husbands get new jobs D. 丈夫找了新工作就不得不搬家【考查点】事实细节题。【解题思路】根据题干关键词Housewives和the worst sufferers from relocating可定位到原文第2段。本段提到“精神病学临床教授Seidenberg医生发现，尽管每个搬家的人都会多多少少感受到这种身份的丧失（this loss of identity），但对于没有工作的妻子（a non-working wife）来说，这通常是最糟糕的（most disastrous）。她的身份（Her identity）来自于

53、她的活动和与社区的联系，搬家将这一切都抹去了。每次搬家，她都得重新建立自己的资历（re-establish her credentials）。”由此可知，家庭主妇受搬家的影响最大，因为A选项“要重新找到自己的身份”。【干扰项排除】B选项“不知道如何结交新朋友”，原文并未提及，属于无中生有；C选项“觉得适应不同的气候很困难”，原文并未提及，属于无中生有；D选项“丈夫找了新工作就不得不搬家”，原文是在介绍Eileen Kirsh的身份时提到了她四次因配偶和工作而搬家（four spouse-job-related moves），而不是解释为什么家庭主妇受搬家的影响最大，该选项属于偷换概念。17.

54、【选项释义】The author advises the reader to take things easy by _. 作者建议读者通过_放轻松。A. keeping the family tradition A. 保持家庭传统B. cutting ties with the old living quarters B. 切断了与旧住宅区邻居的联系C. moving ahead of time to the new residence C. 提前搬到新居D. resisting the temptation to show emotion D. 抵制表露情感的诱惑【考查点】事实细节题。【解

55、题思路】根据题干关键词advises the reader to take things easy定位到原文第3段。本段最后两句说到“建立（Establish family traditions）跟随你一起移动的家庭传统。一家人一起做事让你有家的感觉（makes you feel at home），无论你住在哪里。”由此可知，一家人一起做事让人有家的感觉，所以A选项“保持家庭传统”可以减轻搬家带来的情绪波动，让人放松，符合题意。【干扰项排除】B选项“切断了与旧住宅区邻居的联系”，可定位到第3段第3句，该句说到“抵制与老邻居断绝关系的诱惑”，由此可知，作者认为应该与老邻居保持联系，与选项表述相反

56、，该选项属于反向干扰；C选项“提前搬到新居”，原文并未提及，属于无中生有；D选项“抵制表露情感的诱惑”，原文所说的要抵制的诱惑是“切断与老邻居的联系”，而不是“表露情感”，并且本段第1句说到“不要避免说再见”，即要表露情感，该选项属于反向干扰。18. 【选项释义】In conclusion, the author proposes that people should _. 总结时作者建议人们应该_。A. move more frequently if they can A. 尽可能地频繁搬家B. learn to be positive about moving B. 学会积极地看待搬家C.

57、 be economical when they move C. 他们搬家时要节约D. carry on the pioneer spirit and move to the West D. 发扬开拓精神，向西部进发【考查点】推理判断题。【解题思路】根据题干关键词In conclusion可定位到原文最后一段。本段提到，搬家虽然很困难，但也有很多好处（many advantages），并进行了列举；倒数第2句提到，“作为一个国家和一个人，开拓精神都使我们更加强大”。前文都在提搬家的难处，最后一段却提到了搬家的好处，以及开拓精神会让我们强大，因此，作者是希望读者积极地看待搬家这件事，B选项“学会

58、积极地看待搬家”表述正确。【干扰项排除】A选项“尽可能地频繁搬家”，原文虽然说搬家有很多好处，但这并不意味着要频繁地搬家，该选项属于无中生有；C选项“他们搬家时要节约”，最后一句说“如果我们能节省损耗（save on wear and tear），那就更好了。”原文是说最好要节约，并且只是最后一段一小点的内容，该选项属于以偏概全；D选项“发扬开拓精神，向西部进发”，原文虽然提到了开拓精神，但并不是说要向西部进发，该选项属于过度推理。8. 单选题Mr. Bloom is not _ now, but he will be famous someday.问题1选项A.significantB.do

59、minantC.magnificentD.prominent【答案】D【解析】考查形容词辨析与上下文语义。A选项significant“明显的，意义重大的”；B选项dominant“占优势的；显性的，生物专业名词”；C选项magnificent“壮丽的，宏伟的，值得赞扬的”；D选项prominent“著名的，重要的，杰出的”。句意：虽然布朗（Bloom）先生现在不_，但他总有一天会出名的。根据后一个分句推断，前一个分句是说布朗先生现在不出名。D选项最符合句意。因此，本题最佳选项为D。9. 单选题Is it possible to be both fat and fitnot just fit

60、enough to exercise, but fit enough to live as long as someone a lot lighter? Not according to a 2004 study from the Harvard School of Public Health which looked at 115,000 nurses aged between 30 and 55, compared with women who were both thin and active, obese (overweight) but active women had a mort

61、ality rate that was 91% higher. Though far better than the inactive obese (142% higher), they were still worse off than the inactive lean (5% higher). A similar picture emerged in 2008 after researchers examined 39,000 women with an average age of 54. Compared with active women of normal weight, the

62、 active but overweight were 54% more likely to develop heart disease.Thats settled, then. Or is it? Steven Blair, a professor of exercise science at the University of South Carolina, describes the official focus on obesity as an “obsession . and its not grounded in solid data”.Blairs most fascinatin

63、g study, in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2007, took 2,600 people aged 60 and above, of various degrees of fatness, and tested their fitness on the exercise device, rather than asking them to quantify it themselves.
