正确答案:1.C 考查让步状语从句,从句中用了although,不能同but同时使用,否则本句就没有主句了。
2.B 考查上下文理解,本文说古代埃及的医疗,因而可联想到其用途,所以此处用treat many diseases,意思是“治疗很多疾病”。
3.A 考查词义辨析,句意为牧师被培训成为医生,故应该用被动语态,即be trained。
4.C 考查短语意思辨析,根据上下文,医生和病人相对,医生为病人治病,因而选择care for ,意为护理。look to注意。come to想起。search for搜查。
5.D 考查上下文逻辑。上文提到医生高度的道德标准,而下文则是病人的个人信息是保密的,因而病人应该是受尊敬的,故用respect。
6.C 考查非限定性定语从句,定语从句修饰人时先行词可用that或who, 此处只能用who。
7.A 本句中spend加上时间后面用in doing sth.其中in可以省略,表花时间做某事,此处用serving意即医生每年要花一定时间伺候女神。
8.D 考查形容词词义辨析。只有close符合语境义,故选D项。
9.B 考查时间状语从句,根据前后时间逻辑选择引导从句的连词when,when可表原因。
10.B 考查词组意义,apply to…for…向某人申请做某事,think over考虑,call for提倡,make up弥补。
11.B 本句考查上下文结构的理解,上文提到明显的病因,此处是不明显的病因,以前未曾发现,因而要用discovered,表本身存在的东西被发现。
12.C 本句结构较完整,不缺句子成分,因而用副词来充当状语。根据前后逻辑用consequently结果,因此。subsequently后来。occasionally偶尔。hopefully有希望地。
13.B 考查固定搭配,in this case在这种情况下。
14.A 考查复合句,根据前后意思选择合适的连词,很明显,该句引导时间状语从句,故选择until一词。
15.B 考查词义辨析,根据句意可知,是“被执行”的意思,perform执行;完成。decide决定。carry携带;搬运。discuss讨论,商讨。因此选择B项。
[填空题]2.Cloze 2 Scientists say that something very serious is happening to the earth.It will begin to get 1 in the following years.There will be major changes in 2 in the new century.Coastal waters will have a 3 temperature.This will have a serious effect on agriculture.In northern areas, the 4 season will be ten days longer by the year 2010.However, in warmer areas, it will be too dry.The 5 of water could decrease by eighty percent.This would 6 a large decrease in agriculture production.
World temperature could 7 two degrees centigrade by the year 2040.However, the increase could be three times as great in the Arctic and Antarctic areas.This could cause the ice sheets to melt and raise the 8 of the oceans 9 one to two meters.Many coastal cities would be 10 water.

Scientists call this the green-house effect.

正确答案:1.D 通读全文我们可以发现本文主讲全球变暖及其危害,全球变暖有加重的趋势。本句中,主语it指代something very serious,即,全球变暖这个问题,而不是气温,所以排除A、B项,D项为最佳答案。
2.C 由后面提到的沿岸海水的温度、longer season和dry等词可断定此处指的是气候的变化。
3.B 本文主题为全球变暖,主讲内容为气温升高及其带来的各种影响,不难猜想,沿岸海水的温度也会升高。
4.D growing season生长期,生长季节。此处谈论的是气候对农业的影响,所以D项正确。
5.C the amount of water水量。water是不可数名词,不能用number(数目)来衡量。没有the much of的用法。
6.D cause带来,引起,强调因果关系。lead也有“导致,产生…结果”的意思,但必须得与to连用。
7.A 下一句提到the increase…,定冠词the的使用表明前面已提到过increase,且,后文提到的冰川融化,海平面上升等问题都暗示着全球气温的升高。
8.B 由常识可知,气温升高会使海平面上升。the level of the ocean海平面。
9.A raise by上升了,增加了。raise to上升到,增加到。
10.B 海平面上升会淹没沿海城市。under和below都表示“在…下面”,但表示一物被另一物所覆盖时通常用under。under water在水下,为水所淹。
11.D 下一句提到石油、天然气和煤燃烧会产生大量的二氧化碳,所以此处要表达的概念应是二氧化碳数量多,二氧化碳是不可数名词,所以D项为最佳答案。carbon dioxide二氧化碳。
12.C 句意:石油、天然气和煤燃烧时会产生大量的二氧化碳。
13.D 由本段倒数第二句提到的The heat…the sun…warm the earth可推断此处应填heat。heat使热,给…加热。
14.C 句意:二氧化碳将太阳热量吸收进大气层并使地球气温升高。但,它不能使同样多的热量离开大气层返还到太空中去。leave与前后两次提到的enter相对。enter进入。
15.D 由and后面的can’t escape可知太阳热量留在了地球表面。stay停留,留在。store储藏供应品,可长期存放保鲜。arrive到达,碰巧发生。stand位于,停止。
