16.drinkingdrinking解析：由本句句意“通過將污水和化學(xué)物質(zhì)倒入河流和湖泊，我們已經(jīng)污染了我們的…水。”顯然，此空處應(yīng)為“飲用”。

17.withwith解析：根據(jù)對(duì)等關(guān)系，這里應(yīng)該與后面的部分“apersonwithagoodunderstanding”相對(duì)應(yīng)。意思是“那些腳踏實(shí)地的人往往是那些很了解現(xiàn)實(shí)的人?！惫蚀鸢笧閣ith。

18.whatwhat解析：解析同上。這里是一個(gè)名詞性從句，what在句中做主語。故答案為what。

19.threatenthreaten解析：由33題解析可以知道此空一定為“威脅”之意。

20.towardtoward解析：作者要表達(dá)的意思是“我怎么才能對(duì)別人誠實(shí)?！庇⒄Z中表達(dá)“對(duì)某人…”一般是用介詞toward。故答案為toward。

21.withoutwithout解析：此處意為年輕人更喜歡沒有重大責(zé)任的簡單工作。所以此處應(yīng)填“without”。

22.muchmuch解析：參見43題解析。顯然，此空處應(yīng)為“太多的”。

23.youngyoung解析：本文均是在講年輕的腦力工作者，故此空所應(yīng)填的用于修飾“collegegraduates”的詞也應(yīng)是“年輕的”。

24.reusereuse解析：由后一句“今天幾乎每件東西都可以被扔掉?！笨芍?，“…任何東西不再明智了?！敝械目仗帒?yīng)為“再利用”，這樣前后兩句邏輯上才能合理。

25.waswas解析：此空顯然應(yīng)是句子的謂語成分，應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞的過去式。

26.B解析：由短文第一段中的“Andaccordingtolegend，therewasaTurkishrulerwho…ToPayforthewearandtearonhisteeth”。

27.C解析：由C中倒數(shù)第二段中的“GNVQinbusinessstudiesandhealthandsocialcareprovidesanalternativevocationalpathwayto…”可知。

28.A解析：由全文看，作者支持的一種觀點(diǎn)是“為所有人創(chuàng)造工作機(jī)會(huì)是不可能的”。

29.B解析：由第四段中的“Thehorsesarelessaffectedthanamanwouldbe，andwhentheelectriceelshaveexhaustedthemselves，theycallbecaughtwithoutdanger．”可知。

30.CC解析：接下來講的是人體的免疫系統(tǒng)與毒藤之間的關(guān)系。毒藤會(huì)使人產(chǎn)生什么樣的反應(yīng)，該空緊接的就是毒藤過敏反應(yīng)時(shí)如何產(chǎn)生的?！癏ere’showthepoisonivyresponseoccurs．”一句承上啟下。所以本題應(yīng)選C。

31.A解析：由短文最后一段中的“Andthattransitioncouldprovedifficult，forswitchingrequireslengthyresearchandinvestment．”。

32.B解析：第三段中Dr．Laragh提到“…所以建議所有人應(yīng)該少吃鹽沒有意義?！笨梢酝浦难韵轮馐恰搬t(yī)生不應(yīng)建議人們不吃鹽”。

33.C解析：文章第三段指出“ItisfarmoredifficultforAmericanstoacceptsharedsacrificeforthecommongoodandwell-beingoftheentirecountry．”，接著作者給出一個(gè)例子，證明美國人不會(huì)為了國家的利益而放棄個(gè)人的利益。故應(yīng)選C。

34.A解析：第六段中男主人看到清理垃圾的車，誤以為是Mickey來了，正要出去澄清誤會(huì)，把上次的小費(fèi)補(bǔ)上，卻遭到了回收員的蔑視，所以他感到澄清誤會(huì)的機(jī)會(huì)是很渺茫了，對(duì)于假期小費(fèi)的事情他已經(jīng)絕望了。因此正確答案為A。

35.C解析：由全文的語氣來看，均是在解釋、闡述事情，而不是descriptive或narrative，更不是critic。

36.C解析：由C中的第一段第一句話“Chicago，thesecondlargestcityinpopulationintheUnitedStates，”可知答案為C。

37.A解析：由A中的第一段“Washington，thecapitaloftheUnitedStates，isinWashingtonD．C．”可知答案為A。

38.C解析：C中提到“Theschoolcatersforgirlsofaverageabilityandabovebutitisnotnarrowlyacademic．”。

39.A解析：由A中的第一段最后一句話“Atpresent,thePalaceisanelaboratemuseumthatpresentsthelargestandmostcompleteensembleoftraditionalarchitecture…”可知。

40.C解析：由全文可以推斷，要指出犯罪率下降的確切原因是很困難的。

41.A短文賞析

A

這本書介紹了進(jìn)入21世紀(jì)后，氣候變化會(huì)帶來的各種后果和應(yīng)對(duì)措施。重點(diǎn)是說明全球氣溫變化給農(nóng)業(yè)發(fā)展帶來的后果以及最終對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的影響。作者首先評(píng)價(jià)了國際研究院在克服環(huán)境對(duì)農(nóng)業(yè)及經(jīng)濟(jì)持續(xù)發(fā)展的局限性上的作用，接著講述了農(nóng)業(yè)應(yīng)該如何重組來適應(yīng)環(huán)境的變換以及物種的減少，第三部分主要講述了氣候變化所帶來的影響和各種應(yīng)對(duì)措施。作者還從經(jīng)濟(jì)的角度出發(fā)，對(duì)農(nóng)業(yè)的發(fā)
