1.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.One of the most exciting races ever run is now in progress between doctors fighting malaria(疟疾)and mosquitoes. According to the most recent counts 225 million people a year suffer attacks of malaria and more than two million die. Public health workers around the world are doing all t11ev can to destroy malaria before the mosquitoes that pass on the disease become resistant to the poisons now used against them. It's a race against time and against difficulties,with millions of lives in danger and the chances of winning not in man's favour.Malaria,it is true,has been practically wiped out in thirteen countries. including the United States,and is under attack in many others. But it is equally true that in some parts of the world certain types of malaria-carrying mosquitoes have already learned to resist some of the sprays that formerly killed them. Other types of mosquitoes are not killed as quickly by present sprays as they once were.The World Health Organization is helping national governments to get rid of malaria before resistance among the mosquito population becomes so great that new poisons will have to be found to replace those in use at present. Most of the countries in the world have started,or are planning,campaigns against mosquitoes. If the race against resistance is won by man,it is possible that ten years from now dais old evil will have disappeared completely from the America,perhaps from the world.Malaria has been successfully got. rid of in______.A. all countriesB. some countriesC. no countriesD. most countries

    解析:
    四个选项都是语法连词,但意义各异。这个句子的主从句表达了两种不同的情况,即 some newly independent countries和other countries的不同,用whil。来连接表示对比。

    这里需要的是一个分词,故include和includes都可以排除。在剩下的两个分词形式 中,应该挑选的是一ing形式,因为其意义是主动的。
    这里应该填人的是一个形容词性质的词,surprised是“感到惊奇的”,surprising是“令人 感到惊奇的”,故选D。
    选项C和D是错误的表达方式,可以排除。选项A和B都表示“······的两倍”,但区别 是twice as much用于不可数的物质名词,twice as many用于可数名词。money为不可数名词, 故选A。
    本段的第一句是主旨句,意思是:有时一个不利之处会得到一个有利之处的补偿。接 下来作者用举例来阐述这个观点,因此应该填For example,以示前后两句在意义上的关联。
    depend on意思是“依靠······”,如果后面想表示出在哪一方面依靠别人,就要用介词for 表示。
    In a similar way这个句首的状语表明这一句所讲的内容是类似的,实际上这前后两句 话讲的都是生活条件艰苦这一不利之处所带来的好处。
    because和because of都表示原因,但是前者要接句子,后者要接短语,故选A。
    solution后面习惯上用to这个词。
    affect是动词,意思是“影响”,符合句意。effect是名词,意思是“效果”; detect是动词, 意思是“察觉”; reflect是动词,意思是“反映”。
    in any case意思是“尽管如此,无论如何”,符合句意。in case万一;in a case和in all cases不是固定的表达方式。

  • 第5题:

    In any country, the "standard ofliving" means the average person′s share of the goods and services whichthe country produces. Therefore, a country′s standard of living depends firstand foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in thissense is not money, but "goods" such as food and clothing, and"services" such as transport and entertainment.
    The capacity to produce wealth depends uponmany factors, most of which have an effect on one another. To a great extent,wealth depends upon a country′s natural resources, such as coal, gold, andother minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are wellsupplied with coal and minerals, and some are not.
    Next to natural resources comes the abilityto turn them to use. Some countries are perhaps well off in natural resources,but unable to develop their resources. They suffered for many years from civiland external wars. Peaceful political and stable conditions enable a country todevelop its natural resources effectively, and to produce more wealth thananother country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Anotherimportant factor is the technical efficiency of a country′s people.Industrialized countries that have trained numerous skilled workers andtechnicians produce wealth more than countries whose workers are largelyunskilled.
    A country′s standard of living does notonly depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its ownborders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade.
    For instance, Britain′s wealth isfoodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had todepend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplusmanufacture goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products. In thisaspect, a country′s wealth is much influenced by its manufacturing capacity,provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.
    The manufacturing capacity may be a keyfactor to a higher standard of living when one country ______

    A.has traded her manufacture
    B.has established her wealth
    C.has been an industrialized one
    D.has produced surplus manufactured goods

    答案:D
    解析:
    细节题。根据最后一段“Trade makesit possible for her surplus manufacture goods to be traded abroad for…a country’s wealth is much influenced by itsmanufacturing capacity,provided that other countriescan be found ready to accept its manufactures.”可知,如果一个国家制造业发达的话,可以将多余的工业制造品通过国际贸易来换取本国需要的产品,故选D。

    What Makes a Soccer Player Great?
    Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world,but there have only been few play-ers who were truly great.How did these players get that way—was it through training and prac- tice,or are great players“born,not made”?First,these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate.In the history of soccer,only six countries have ever won the World Cup-three from South America and three from western Europe .There has never been a great national team-or a really great player-from North America or from Asia.Second,these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player,as was Pele.Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.
    Finally,many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood—a poor,crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor,lawyer,or businessman,but to become a rich,famous athlete or entertainer. For example,Liverpool,which produced the Beetles,had one of the best
    English soccer teams in recent years.Pele practiced in the street with a“ball”made of rags.And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.
    All great players have a lot in common,but that doesn't explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets,but only one became Pele.The greatest play-ers are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.

    Pele is cited as an example in the second paragraph to illustrate that______.
    A: famous soccer players live in slum areas
    B: people in poor areas are born with some unique quality
    C: children in poor areas start playing football at the age of 3 or 4
    D: many great soccer players come from poor areas

    答案:D
    解析:
    Truly great players are rare:真正棒的球员是很少的。答案在文章的第一句:全世界有许许多多人踢足球,可是踢得真正棒的球员只是极少数人。
    skills:技巧。tricks出现在第二段的最后一个句子中。根据句子的意思,该词表达的是“技巧”的意思。该题是考查根据上下文猜词的能力。
    many geat soccer players come from poor areas:许多很棒的足球球员都来自贫困地区。第二段的第一个句子说到,许多很棒的球员都来自同一种聚居区——一种贫困的、拥挤的……地区。
    the greatest players are born with some unique quality:最棒的球员的某种独特的素质是与生俱来的。这个子句引自文章的最后一个句子“The great players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others”。
    his height:身高。“身高”在文章中没有提到。

    四个选项都是语法连词,但意义各异。这个句子的主从句表达了两种不同的情况,即 some newly independent countries和other countries的不同,用whil。来连接表示对比。
    这里用where来引导一个非限定性的定语从句,相当于in which,指前面出现的Middle East,而Middle East为地点名词,只有“where”能引导地点,故选B。
    call in意思是“引来,招募”,符合句意。call off取消;call up给······打电话;call on 拜访。
    thus用来表示结果。前一句讲了中东地区石油收人增加了,这一句要讲的是结果。
    这里需要的是一个分词,故include和includes都可以排除。在剩下的两个分词形式 中,应该挑选的是一ing形式,因为其意义是主动的。
    这里应该填人的是一个形容词性质的词,surprised是“感到惊奇的”,surprising是“令人 感到惊奇的”,故选D。
    选项C和D是错误的表达方式,可以排除。选项A和B都表示“······的两倍”,但区别 是twice as much用于不可数的物质名词,twice as many用于可数名词。money为不可数名词, 故选A。
    本段的第一句是主旨句,意思是:有时一个不利之处会得到一个有利之处的补偿。接 下来作者用举例来阐述这个观点,因此应该填For example,以示前后两句在意义上的关联。
    depend on意思是“依靠······”,如果后面想表示出在哪一方面依靠别人,就要用介词for 表示。
    In a similar way这个句首的状语表明这一句所讲的内容是类似的,实际上这前后两句 话讲的都是生活条件艰苦这一不利之处所带来的好处。
    because和because of都表示原因,但是前者要接句子,后者要接短语,故选A。
    solution后面习惯上用to这个词。
    affect是动词,意思是“影响”,符合句意。effect是名词,意思是“效果”; detect是动词, 意思是“察觉”; reflect是动词,意思是“反映”。
    in any case意思是“尽管如此,无论如何”,符合句意。in case万一;in a case和in all cases不是固定的表达方式。
    considerable意思是“相当大的,可观的”,符合句意。considerate考虑周到的,体贴的。

    A

    to the local government

    B

    into the country in which they have been built

    C
