5、this. Its a fact that people fear man-made disasters (terrorism) far more than they fear natural disasters (hurricanes), and they are more afraid of things they do not control, which is why driving a car does feel safer than flying in an airplane.

13、因为街道被倒下的树木和电线堵塞了）可知，A, B选项是华盛顿的孩子们不能去上学的原因，排除A, B。D选项“交通灯坏了”，由原文and traffic lights at some intersections werent working.（一些十字路口的交通灯也不能工作。）可知，D选项是华盛顿的孩子们不能去上学的原因，排除D。C选项“即将到来的飓风”，由原文可知，飓风已经发生了，所以本题选C。2.推理判断题。由题干可以定位到文章第二段最后一句A previous generation might have walked around the fallen trees and looked b

14、oth ways before crossing the street , but the children of this generation clearly live in a much more dangerous world, and we need to protect them.（上一代可能会在过马路前绕着倒下的树走，左右张望，但这一代的孩子显然生活在一个更加危险的世界里，我们需要保护他们。），说明上一代人更懂得如何在面对危险时保护自己。因此D选项“在保护自己方面做得更好”正确。A选项“更知道如何避免危险”，B选项“对危险不那么挑剔”在文中没有提及，所以A, B错误。C选项“生活

15、在一个更危险的世界里”，由原文可知，是这一代的孩子生活在更危险的世界里，所以C错误。3.客观细节题。由题干可以定位到文章第五段第一、二句There are some clear psychological explanations for some of thisand they are more afraid of things they do not control（对此有一些明确的心理学解释人们更害怕自己无法控制的东西），说明对恐惧的公认心理学解释是人们更害怕未知的无法控制的东西。因此A选项“人们更害怕他们不知道的东西，而不是他们熟悉的东西。”正确。B选项“人们更害怕报纸上报道的危险，而

16、不是他们所经历的。”，C选项“比起坐火车，人们更害怕坐飞机。”，D选项“比起自然灾害，人们更害怕恐怖主意灾难。”都是具体的事例，而不是心理学解释，所以B, C, D错误。4.客观细节题。由题干可以定位到文章倒数第二段最后一句If you look around your neighborhood, youll notice that the water is cleanwhich it wouldnt necessarily have been 100 years agoand that the food isnt rotten or stale.（如果环顾你的社区，你会注意到水是干净的这在1

17、00年前不一定是干净的，而且食物也没有腐烂或变质。），说明过去的水质没有现在的好。因此B选项“水没有那么干净”正确。A选项“生活更令人愉快”，C选项“食物的味道和质量都更好”和原文的意思相反，所以A, C错误。D选项“对孩子来说街道更安全”，由原文Life is far safer for the average American than it ever has to just about anybody at any other time in human history（普通美国人的生活比人类历史上任何时候的任何人都要安全得多），现在的生活比过去更安全，所以D错误。5.推理判断题。由题干

18、可以定位到文章最后一段第一句maybe that explains the ludicrous precautions that city officials and federal bureaucrats and everyone else feels obligated to take nowadays to satisfy the publics demands.（也许这就解释了为什么城市官员、联邦官员和其他所有人都觉得有义务采取可笑的预防措施来满足公众的需求。），说明作者认为这些预防措施是可笑的，也就是说人们面对危险的反应过激了。因此A选项“现在的人对危险反应过激了”正确。B选项“人们

19、有充分的理由害怕今天的危险”，C选项“生活中充满了危险，特别是在9.11事件之后”，由原文Now that weve eliminated most of the things that the human race once feared, weve just invented new ones to replace them.（现在我们已经消除了大多数人曾经害怕的东西，我们只是发明了新的东西来取代它们。）可知，现在的生活中没有那么多危险，所以B, C错误。D选项“儿童应该得到更好的保护，以避免危险的发生”不符合题意，所以D错误。2. 单选题Barack Obama urged congre

32、 congressional leaders on Monday to act quickly to pass a huge stimulus package for the U.S. economy.（美国总统奥巴马星期一敦促国会领导人迅速采取行动，通过一个庞大的刺激美国经济的一揽子计划。），说明奥巴马的目的是为了让国会尽快通过这个一揽子计划来刺激经济，避免经济下滑。因此B选项“结束经济衰退”正确。A选项“更好地了解对方”，C选项“就政治问题进行谈判”，D选项“迅速接替布什的位置”均不符合题意，所以A, C, D错误。2.客观细节题。由题干可以定位到文章第二段第二句This could in

33、volve as much as $300 billion of a bill that is likely to exceed $700 billion and include aid to cash-poor U.S. states, and money for alternative energy and a range of infrastructure projects.（这可能涉及一项高达3000亿美元的法案，而这项法案可能会超过7000亿美元，其中包括对现金匮乏的美国各州的援助，以及为可替代能源和一系列基础设施项目提供资金。），说明该方案的内容包括援助美国贫困州、投资替代能源和基

34、础设施项目，所以A选项“美国的一些贫困州”，B选项“替代能源”，D选项“基础设施项目”符合原文，C选项“不发达的国家”在原文中没有提及，不属于该法令援助的内容，因此本题选C。3.客观细节题。由题干可以定位到文章第一段最后一句Nancy Pelosi and her staff have been extraordinarily helpful in working with our team so that we can shape an economic recovery and reinvestment plan that starts putting people back to wor

35、k.”（南希佩洛西和她的工作人员在与我们的团队合作方面给予了极大的帮助，使我们能够制定经济复苏和再投资计划，让人们重新找到工作。”），说明这个计划可以有效促进就业，让更多人找到工作。因此D选项“提供工作机会”正确。A选项“敲定经济立法”，B选项“提高美国的国际地位”，C选项“获得共和党人的支持”在文中均没有提及，所以A, B, C错误。4.推理判断题。由题干可以定位到文章倒数第二段最后一句Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid said, “There are investments that we need to make on behalf of the Am

37、going to do going forward,” said Dana Perino. “Obviously, we think that tax cuts were the right way to help our economy get out of the recession that this president inherited and we know that tax cuts can spur innovation.”（佩里诺说：“我认为我能做的最好的事情就是拒绝对他们未来的行动发表评论。显然，我们认为减税是帮助我们的经济走出衰退的正确方式，我们知道减税可以刺激创新。”）

38、，说明两党领导人对于此次会面是抱有很大的希望的。因此B选项“有希望”正确。A选项“不确定”，C选项“失望”，D选项“漠不关心”均不符合题意，所以A, C, D错误。5.推理判断题。结合全文可知，文章开头提到奥巴马会见两党领导人，敦促国会尽快通过刺激经济发展的计划，避免经济进一步下滑，接着分别介绍了两党领导人的态度，他们都希望共同合作，促进经济增长，所以摆脱经济衰退的最好办法是两党合作。因此B选项“两党的合作”正确。A选项“人民的信心”，C选项“减税”，D选项“经济学家的建议”均不符合题意，所以A, C, D错误。3. 单选题Just a few seconds of frenzied pass

51、况的信件证明了这不仅仅是肥皂剧里才会出现的问题。因此D选项“苏珊收到了很多相同情况的人的信”正确。A选项“米歇尔收到了几封来自一些年轻人的信”，B选项“米歇尔每周总是有几个约会”，C选项“苏珊在学生时代就开始与男人交往”均不符合题意，所以A, B, C错误。2.客观细节题。由题干可以定位到文章第五段第二句With her time being split equally between school and television studios, she was busy learning lines while her girlfriends were dating boys.（她把时间平均

52、分配在了学习和演戏上，当别的女孩子在和男生约会的时候她却在忙着记台词。），说明苏珊是通过努力学习和演戏来充实自己，从而避免了她的许多朋友所面临的危险。因此C选项“通过在学校和电视工作室努力工作”正确。A选项“通过把米歇尔当作她的妹妹”，B选项“通过在家里做许多项目”，D选项“通过在上学期间与她的男朋友约会”均不符合题意，所以A, B, D错误。3.推理判断题。A选项“苏珊在一部肥皂剧中成功地扮演了米歇尔”，由原文its easy to understand why Susan has been so successful in the role.（很容易理解为什么苏珊在这个角色上如此成功）可知

53、，苏珊在一部肥皂剧中成功地扮演了米歇尔，A选项表述正确，排除A。B选项“米歇尔的情况在英国学校里并不罕见”，由原文its one she recognizes all too clearly from what happens to some of her contemporaries at school.（从她在学校的同龄人身上发生的事情来看，她清楚地认识到了这一点。）可知，米歇尔的情况在英国学校里经常发生，B选项表述正确，排除B。C选项“女孩不应该轻易向男人屈服”，由原文The end of all her hopes and dreams, her childhood and teena

54、ge innocence, all stripped away the first and only time she ever surrendered herself to a man.（她所有希望和梦想的终点，她童年和少年时的纯真，都在她第一次也是唯一一次屈服于一个男人时被剥夺了。）可知，女孩不应该轻易向男人屈服，否则会造成很严重的后果，C选项表述正确，排除C。D选项“苏珊在学生时代应该去跳迪斯科、参加派对”，由原文While they went out to discos and parties in the evening she was desperately catching up

55、 on her schoolwork.（晚上，他们一起去跳迪斯科、参加派对，她却在拼命地补功课。）可知，苏珊没有去跳迪斯科、参加派对，而是通过努力学习避免了其他同学所面临的危险，D选项不符合原文，所以本题选D。4.语义推测题。由题干关键词“lines”可以定位到文章第五段第二句With her time being split equally between school and television studios, she was busy learning lines while her girlfriends were dating boys.（她把时间平均分配在了学习和演戏上，当别的

56、女孩子在和男生约会的时候她却在忙着记台词。），说明“lines”在文中是指“剧本台词”的意思。因此B选项“演员的台词”正确。A选项“一条路线的方向”，C选项“用于悬挂衣服的线”，D选项“电话连接”均不符合题意，所以A, C, D错误。5.主旨大意题。文章由苏珊扮演的角色米歇尔开场，然后由这个场景引发了苏珊对目前很多年轻女孩成为未成年母亲问题的一些探讨，接着她联系到了自己的生活紧张而充实。和别的同龄人不一样，她很满意目前自己和男朋友之间保持一定距离的关系，但是这又让她想到了米歇尔，为米歇尔过早地承受本不应属于她这个年龄的痛苦感到痛惜。因此B选项“为米歇尔感到难过”符合文章的主旨，最适合作为文章标

57、题。A选项“为苏珊塔利难过”，由原文可知，苏珊没有对自己的生活感到痛惜，相反她对自己的现状非常满意，所以A错误。C选项“苏珊的学生时代”，D选项“苏珊的希望和梦想”，由原文可知，本文大量的篇幅还是围绕米歇尔展开话题的，所以C, D错误。4. 单选题Contrary to what many people believe, highly intelligent children are not necessarily destined for academic success. In fact, so-called gifted students may fail to do well beca

58、use they are unusually smart. Ensuring that a gifted child reaches his or her potential requires an understanding of what can go wrong and how to satisfy the unusual learning requirements of extremely bright young people.One common problem gifted kids face is that they, and those around them, place

59、too much importance on being smart. Such an emphasis can breed a belief that bright people do not have to work hard to do well. Although smart kids may not need to work hard in the lower grades, when the work is easy, they may struggle and perform poorly when the work gets harder because they do not

60、 make the effort to learn. If the scholastic achievement of highly intelligent children remains below average for an extended period, many teachers will fail to recognize their potential. As a result, such students may not get the encouragement they need, further depressing their desire to learn. Th

These include motivation and persistence, social competence, and the support of famil

62、y, educators and friends. Emphasizing the importance of persistence and hard work, for example, will help a child avoid the laziness trap. Gifted children also need intellectual challengesto teach them how to work hard.Because highly gifted children solve the most varied thought problems faster and

63、more thoroughly than those with more average aptitudes do, they need additional intellectual stimulation while they wait for the rest of the kids to learn the basics. Two central approaches are used to satisfy the educational needs of such children: acceleration and enrichment. Acceleration means st

64、udying material that is part of the standard curriculum for older students. Enrichment involves learning information that falls outside the usual curriculum.A child might skip one or more grades as a way of accelerating in school. But being with older children for the entire school dayand perhaps for grade-based extracurricular activities such as sportscan make a child feel inferior in every realm outside of a
