正确答案： A解析：
A说地震造成的破坏在降低，与第一段的叙述相否；C说人们对地震不再感到恐惧，与最后一段的叙述相否；D说人们已经有能力征服地震，文章第三段第二句只说科学家对地震发生的时间和地点预测越来越准确，全文中也没提过人们可以征服地震。故B项“地震预测得到改进”正确。 -

信息题。A选项“公司员工20年前就开始穿非正式的服装”和原文第二段“In the early 1990s”不符；B选项“自从1990年代早期，穿休闲服饰就已经成为日常的现象”，而原文意为1990年代早期，穿休闲服饰的风潮刚刚兴起，与此不符；C选项“穿休闲服装最初是作为对员工的一种优待而推行的”和原文“What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees . . .”意义相符，答案为C；D选项“很多员工喜欢穿休闲服饰是为了给他人留下深刻的印象”未在原文提及。 -
第9题：
单选题Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AYou should limit your mobile phone calls to personal affairs.
BYou should speak quietly into your phone while in a church.
CYou are supposed to turn off your mobile phone at a funeral.
DYou are supposed to use your mobile phones as much as possible.
正确答案： D解析：
推理题。第四段提到“worse more, how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral!”，更糟糕的是当你在参加一个才葬礼时突然有电话想你会有什么感觉？暗含着在葬礼这种非常严肃的场合我们都不愿意听到电话响，同时也暗含着我们让手机关机，C项同义转述。A项违背事实，不可能把手机限制于谈论私事。在教堂里打电话有所限制要三思，并没有说小声打，B项错误。D项“尽可能的使用手机”在文中并没有提及。 -
第10题：
单选题Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AThe host talks little with the visitor
BThe child accompanies the visitor to the gate of the house
CThe host offers the visitor a seat only
DThe visitor takes some food with him when he leaves.
正确答案： C解析：
原文第四段指出“When the visitor is leaving，he is often given some food”，故D项表述正确。原文中说来访者会被问道他们的旅途如何，为什么来到此地等，他们的谈话在饭后仍会继续，故A项“talks little”错误。原文中说的是孩子把来访者送到“to the nearest station”，故B项“to the gate of the house”错误。C项“offers the visitor a seat only”也错误，文中提到主人们会给来访者提供座位、茶水和食物，并且会打包点食物让他们带走，而不仅仅是提供一个座位。故正确选项为D。 -

单选题Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?ANatural disasters can account for disappearance of languages.
BThe acceleration of language death didn’t start until 200 years ago.
CThe study is conducted with the financial support of UNESCO.
DThe language of Ainu was long neglected before the late l980s.
正确答案： C解析：
事实细节的找寻和判断。录音中提到“However, the past 300 years or so have seen a dramatic increase in the death or disappearance of languages…”，由此可知，大约300年前，某些语言就出现了加速消亡的现象。因此选项B（直到200年前，语言才出现加速消亡的现象）与录音原文不符。
【录音原文】
Half of the 6,000 or so languages spoken in the world are under threat and a wealth of human knowledge could be lost with them, according to a new study. The study says pressures from dominant languages such as English, French, Spanish and Russian are drowning out minority tongues at an accelerating pace. “The dying and disappearance of languages has been going on for thousands of years as a natural event in human society, but at a slow rate,” says the study funded by UNESCO. “However, the past 300 years or so have seen a dramatic increase in the death or disappearance of languages leading to a situation today in which 3,000 or so languages that are still spoken are endangered, seriously endangered or dying.” The study cites several reasons for the disappearance of languages, ranging from repressive government policies and assimilation to economic pressures, migratory trends, disease and natural disasters. While sounding the alarm, it notes that a determined multilingual approach can rescue even the most threatened tongues. In Japan, only eight elderly people spoke Ainu on Hokkaido Island by the late l980s after decades of official neglect, but promotional policies have since revived the language. -

CComic books were leading the nation’s youth into crime, violence, and drug abuse.
DCreating a regulatory board to censor the comic book industry would drive the worst offenders out of the business.
EComic books would never be able to convey stories of any serious literary merit.
正确答案： B解析：
细节题。第三段中提到Fredric Wertham的书中表达的观点为：动漫书籍引导青年人接触犯罪、暴力和滥用药物，故本题选C项。 -

BGreater amounts of land were cleared than at any time before.

正确答案： D解析：
文中第二段第二句表明，过去100年间，矿物燃料的燃烧和森林的砍伐使大气中二氧化碳的含量增加了大约15%，而且我们不断地向大气中排放二氧化碳，由此可以推断，A、B两项表述均不准确；由于大气中的二氧化碳在不断增加，因此地表温度只会升高，而不是降低，C项错误；因此只有D项符合文章大意。
