算機(jī)系統(tǒng)的價(jià)值也隨著每個(gè)程序的出現(xiàn)而增加。這里考察的是with接復(fù)

合賓語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)。phone和add之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，因此用過(guò)去分詞作賓補(bǔ)。

C.unanswered

D.unanwering

他。這個(gè)句子考查的是“l(fā)eave+賓語(yǔ)+賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)”。anyofyourquestions

和后面作賓補(bǔ)的動(dòng)詞unanswer為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，因此用過(guò)去分詞形式。

D.Withoutbeingalarm

【答案】B

這種結(jié)構(gòu)為獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)，一般充當(dāng)狀語(yǔ)，there是邏輯主語(yǔ)，相當(dāng)于

Becausetherewasnoalarmforthehurricane。

wouldhavebought可知，這句話是對(duì)過(guò)去的虛擬，因此從句應(yīng)該用過(guò)去

完成時(shí)，完整表達(dá)應(yīng)為IfIhadenoughmoney。如果if條件句中如有were,

should,had，可以省去if，并使用倒裝語(yǔ)序。

A.isunderdiscussion

B.isabouttobesetup

D.hasbeenperfected

【答案與解析】

31.B根據(jù)第二段句子“…increasedsharplyafter10p.m.,and

especiallyaftermidnight.Withpassengersinthecar,thedriver…”可以推斷

出，青少年午夜之后駕車載人是最危險(xiǎn)的時(shí)候。所以答案選B。

32.D根據(jù)第三段最后“…adultswhoareresponsibleforissuing

licensesfailtorecognizehowcomplexandskilledataskdrivingis.”可以判

斷，RobertFoss認(rèn)為負(fù)責(zé)發(fā)放駕照的成年人沒(méi)能認(rèn)識(shí)到駕駛汽車非常復(fù)

雜且技術(shù)性很強(qiáng)。所以他們對(duì)青少年司機(jī)的車禍問(wèn)題負(fù)有責(zé)任。

33.C文中最后一段講到“Abouthalfofthestatesnowhavesomesort

ofgraduatedlicensingsysteminplace”，據(jù)此可知，這種發(fā)證系統(tǒng)已經(jīng)在

半數(shù)以上的州得以實(shí)施。

【答案與解析】

34.B作者第一段講述了聽(tīng)到一個(gè)小孩說(shuō)自己“depressed”，作者對(duì)

此很驚訝，第二段說(shuō)到他和他的朋友直到高中才發(fā)現(xiàn)自己會(huì)情緒低落，

由此可見(jiàn)作者認(rèn)為對(duì)于年齡小的孩子來(lái)說(shuō)，“depressed”是很難想象的。

35.A根據(jù)第六段“Televisionpassesinformationtoallviewersalike,

whethertheyarechildrenoradults.”可知，作者認(rèn)為是電視的普及讓孩子

們出現(xiàn)了這樣的特征。

36.D由最后一段“Communicationthroughprint…controloverthe

socialinformationwhichchildrenwillgain.”可知，作者認(rèn)為印刷媒介可以

控制孩子們所獲得的信息。

37.B文章中，作者提出了孩子們的變化并分析了原因，最后給出

了解決措施，根據(jù)作者的語(yǔ)氣和觀點(diǎn)可以看出，他認(rèn)為孩子們的這些變

化應(yīng)該引起人們足夠的重視。

EXCEPT______.

A.morebackrentonthecrownland

B.fullindependencefromtheUS

D.aclaimontheHawaiiancrownland

【答案與解析】

38.D根據(jù)第二段第一句“...sincethenHawaii'snativepeoplehave

faredworsethananyofitsotherethnicgroups”可知，夏威夷原住民的生活

比其他民族差。

39.C第四段中提到OfficeofHawaiianAffairs“hasnowbecomethe

moderatefaceofthenativesovereigntymovement”，moderate與題干中的

lessradical相對(duì)應(yīng)。

40.B文章第三段中提到JohnWaihee是夏威夷第一位土著人州長(zhǎng)，

他建立了一個(gè)主權(quán)建議委員會(huì)，并建議夏威夷土著人自己決定是否要成

立一個(gè)主權(quán)國(guó)家，但是并未提到他領(lǐng)導(dǎo)了當(dāng)?shù)氐莫?dú)立解放運(yùn)動(dòng)，所以選

B。

41.A文章第四段指出“...somejustwantgreaterautonomywithinthe

state”，后面又指出“...moreambitiousistheKaLahuigroup,which...wants

full,officialindependencefromtheUS”，文章最后一段又提到“...theyalso

wanttheirclaimon660,000hectaresofHawaiiancrownlandtobe

accepted”，由此可見(jiàn)選項(xiàng)B，C，D文章中都提到了，所以正確選項(xiàng)為

A。

【答案與解析】

42.D第一段講到，傳統(tǒng)的大氣電腦模式?jīng)]能對(duì)此進(jìn)行預(yù)測(cè)，原因

在于可獲得的天氣數(shù)據(jù)細(xì)節(jié)太少，不足以讓計(jì)算機(jī)進(jìn)行研究和預(yù)測(cè)。故

選D。

43.B根據(jù)該詞前面的解釋“accurate,short-rangeforecasts”可以推斷

出Nowcast的意思為“準(zhǔn)確、及時(shí)的天氣預(yù)報(bào)”。

44.D文章一開始講述了某次龍卷風(fēng)造成的損失，并指出直到最

近，由于高科技的發(fā)展解決了人們收集天氣數(shù)據(jù)時(shí)的種種問(wèn)題，才使得

Nowcast這種準(zhǔn)確、及時(shí)的天氣預(yù)報(bào)成為現(xiàn)實(shí)。因此，文章主要講述天

氣預(yù)報(bào)方面的一大突破。
