To pollute means to contaminate topsoil or something by introducing impurities which make (51) unfit or unclean to use. Pollution comes in many forms. We see it, smell it, (52) it, drink it, and stumble through it. We literally lived in and breathe pollution, and (53) surprisingly, it is beginning to (54) our health, our happiness, and our civilization.Once we thought of pollution (55) meaning simply the smogthe choking, stinging, dirty (56) that hovers over cities. But air pollution, while it is (57) the most dangerous, is only one type of contamination among several (58) attack the most basic life functions.Through the uncontrolled use of insecticides, man has polluted the land, (59) the wildlife. By (60) sewage and chemicals into rivers and lakes, we have contaminated our (61) water. We are polluting the oceans, too, killing the fish and (62) depriving ourselves (63) an invaluable food supply.Part of the problem is our exploding (64). More and more people are producing more wastes. But this problem is intensified by our “throwaway” technology. Each year Americans (65) of 7 million autos, 20 million tons of waste paper, 25 million pounds of toothpaste tubes and 48 million cans. We throw away gum wrappers, newspapers, and paper plates. It is no longer wise to reuse anything, Today almost everything is disposable.问题1选项A.itB.themC.peopleD.some问题2选项A.masterB.tasteC.touchD.get问题3选项A.thereforeB.quiteC.yetD.not问题4选项A.curseB.threatenC.cutD.connect问题5选项A.asB.overC.forD.to问题6选项A.atmosphereB.airC.surroundingD.rain问题7选项A.notB.yetC.stillD.far问题8选项A.whichB.whatC.whyD.where问题9选项A.killsB.killedC.killD.killing问题10选项A.dumpB.dumpingC.castD.casting问题11选项A.pollutantB.usedC.drinkingD.dirty问题12选项A.soB.therebyC.becauseD.for问题13选项A.overB.offC.fromD.of问题14选项A.peopleB.personC.populationD.human问题15选项A.disposeB.dispatchC.disperseD.discover【答案】第1题:A第2题:B第3题:D第4题:B第5题:A第6题:B第7题:C第8题:A第9题:D第10题:B第11题:C第12题:B第13题:D第14题:C第15题:A【解析】51.【试题答案】A【试题解析】考查代词使用。空格部分所在的which引导的从句是一个定语从句修饰先行词impurities，在从句中做主语，从句中缺少宾语，结合前面的主句可知，空格处填入的是topsoil or something，所以用it来指代。句意：污染是指通过引入杂质来污染表土或其他东西，使其不适合或不洁净使用。因此，该题选择A项正确。52.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考查动词辨析和上下文语义。A项master“掌握”，B项taste“尝”，C项touch“触摸”，D项get“得到”。上文提到“污染有很多种形式”，所以下文是对上文的解释，这句的意思是“我们看得见它，闻得见它，它，喝它，而且在它中间挣扎”，结合常识可知，只有“尝”是最合适的。句意：我们可以看见它，闻到它，尝到它，喝到它，从它中间挣扎走过。因此，该题选择B项正确。53.【试题答案】D【试题解析】考查词义辨析。A项therefore“因此”，B项quite“非常”，C项yet“然而，还”，D项not表否定。前半句句意是“我们真地生活在污染中，呼吸着它”，而后半句意为“它开始我们的健康、幸福和文明”显然，前后句子是因果关系，故中间的surprisingly前只能加个否定词not。因此，该题选择D项正确。54.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考查动词辨析。A项curse“诅咒，咒骂”，B项threaten“威胁，恐吓”，C项cut“割破，（用刀等）切下”，D项connect“连接，联合”。此空缺少一个动词，根据后面的our health, our happiness, and our civilization（我们的健康、幸福和文明），结合前面提到的pollution可知，“威胁”符合。句意：我们简直生活在污染中，呼吸着它，毫不奇怪，它开始威胁我们的健康、我们的幸福和我们的文明。因此，该题选择B项正确。55.【试题答案】A【试题解析】考查固定搭配。A项as“作为，因为”，B项over“在之上，关于”，C项for“为了”，D项to“对于”。根据前面的think of可知，think of sth. as sth.固定短语，表示“把某物想成某物，当作”。句意：我们曾经把污染只是想成烟雾。因此，该题选择A项正确。56.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考查名词辨析。A项atmosphere“（围绕地球的）大气，（房间、封闭空间或某处的）空气”，B项air“（环绕地球和我们呼吸的气体的混合物）空气”，C项surrounding“环境，周围的事物”，D项rain“雨，下雨”。根据句意“盘旋在城市上空的令人窒息、刺痛、肮脏的”，结合前半句提到的smog（烟雾）可知，B项“空气”符合语境。句意：我们曾经认为污染仅仅是指烟雾盘旋在城市上空的令人窒息、刺痛、肮脏的空气。因此，该题选择B项正确。57.【试题答案】C【试题解析】考查词义辨析。A项not表否定，B项yet“然而”，C项still“仍然”，D项far“很，遥远地”。根据句意“尽管空气污染是最危险的，但也只是几种攻击最基本生活功能的污染之一”可知，空格处填入“仍然”最符合。因此，该题选择C项正确。58.【试题答案】A【试题解析】考查定语从句。根据句子结构可知，空格处是引导的一个定语从句，在从句中充当主语，指代types of contamination，所以只能用which。句意：虽然空气污染是严重的，但也只是几种攻击最基本生活功能的污染之一。因此，该题选择A项正确。59.【试题答案】D【试题解析】考查非谓语动词。根据句子可知，句子中已经有一个谓语动词has polluted，一个句子中不能有两个谓语动词，故kill只能用非谓语动词形式，A、C项排除；man和kill之间是主动的关系，所以用kill的现在分词形式killing。句意：通过不加控制地使用杀虫剂，人类已经污染了土地，杀死了野生动物。因此，该题选择D项正确。60.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考察固定搭配。空格处是位于介词by之后，动词不能用原形，A、C项排除。由后面的into可知，空格处是与into搭配，cast into表示“铸成”，dump into表示“把倾倒入，向倾销”，此处的意思是“通过将污水和化学物质入河流和湖泊”，所以用dumping符合。因此，该题选择B项正确。61.【试题答案】C【试题解析】考查词义辨析。A项pollutant“污染物”，B项used“习惯的，二手的”，C项drinking“饮水”，D项dirty“下流的，肮脏的”。由water可知，drinking water表示“饮用水”，C项符合。句意：通过将污水和化学物质倾倒入河流和湖泊，我们已经污染了我们的饮用水。因此，该题选择C项正确。62.【试题答案】B【试题解析】考察逻辑。A项so“因此”，表结果；B项thereby“由此，从而”，正式用法，用来表示事件或行动的一个重要结果或后果；C项because“因为”，表原因；D项for“为了，因为”，表支持、目的、时间、原因、作为、用途、动作的对象等。根据句意“我们也正在污染海洋，杀死了鱼类，剥夺了我们无价的食物供应”可知，前后为因果关系，爱出C、D项；depriving是现在分词，前面不能用so或其他表因果关系的连词，所以只能用介词thereby。因此，该题选择B项正确。63.【试题答案】D【试题解析】考查固定搭配。A项over“关于，在之上”，B项off“离开”，C项from“从，来自”，D项of“的”。根据deprive可知，deprive sb. of sth.为固定短语，表示“剥夺某人某物（或某权利）。”句意：我们也正在污染海洋，杀死了鱼类，从而剥夺了我们无价的食物供应。因此，该题选择D项正确。64.【试题答案】C【试题解析】考查名词辨析和上下文语义。A项people“人，民族”，B项person“（一个）人”，C项population“人口”，D项human“人类”。根据下文“越来越多的人正在制造更多的垃圾”可知，exploding _是指“人口暴增”，C项符合。句意：人口的爆炸也是引起污染的一个原因。因此，该题选择C项正确。65.【试题答案】A【试题解析】考查动词辨析和上下文语义。A项dispose“安置，安排，处理”，B项dispatch“派遣，发送”，C项disperse“分散，使散开”，D项discover“发现，发觉”。上文提到“但我们的一次性技术加剧了这个问题”，后文就说到“美国人每年要700万辆汽车、2000万吨废纸、2500万磅牙膏管和4800万个罐子”，可知空格处填入“处置、丢弃”，dispose of表示“处理，解决”。因此，该题选择A项正确。6. 单选题Brought up in a democratic atmosphere, the student was shocked by the _ and narrowness expressed by several of his classmates.问题1选项A.indecisivenessB.bigotryC.callusD.calumny【答案】B【解析】考查名词辨析。A项indecisiveness表示“犹豫不定”，B项bigotry表示“偏执，顽固”，C项callus表示“愈合组织，老茧”，D项calumny表示“诽谤，中伤”。根据句子可知，空格处和narrowness（狭隘）为并列成分，因此，四个选项中只有“偏执”符合语境。句意：在民主的环境中长大的这个学生对他的几个同学表现出的偏执和狭隘感到震惊。因此，该题选择B项正确。7. 单选题His remarks were so _ that we could not decide which of the possible meanings was correct.问题1选项A.persuasiveB.ambiguousC.suspiciousD.consistent【答案】B【解析】考查形容词辨析。A项persuasive“有说服力的，劝诱的”，B项ambiguous“模糊不清的，模棱两可的”，C项suspicious“可疑的，怀疑的”，D项consistent“始终如一的，一致的”。由we could not decide which of the possible meanings was correct（我们无法确定哪个可能的意思是正确的）可知，B项符合。句意：他的话含糊不清，我们无法断定哪一个意思是正确的。因此，该题选择B项。8. 单选题Just as there are occupations that require college or even higher degrees, _ occupations for which technical training is necessary.问题1选项A.so too there areB.so also there areC.so there are tooD.so too are there【答案】D【解析】考查句型和倒装结构。本题考查的是“just asso”句型和倒装结构，“just asso”的意思为“正好和一样”。so在本句中表达“也，同样”的含义，连接并列句。too如果在句子中提前，则要求后面的主谓形成部分倒装，所以A，C均不成立；so和also语义重复，因此B选项排除。因此D为正确答案。9. 单选题Rose feels _ about the weekend in Vermont. She wants to go, but she also wants to stay at home.问题1选项A.atheisticB.ambiguousC.ambivalentD.ascetic【答案】C【解析】考查形容词辨析。A项atheistic“无神论的，无神论者的”，B项ambiguous“模糊不清的，模棱两可的”，C项ambivalent“矛盾的，好恶相克的”，D项ascetic“苦行的，禁欲主义的”。根据后面句子的意思“她想去，但她也想呆在家里”可知，“矛盾的”符合语境。句意：罗斯对去佛蒙特州度周末感到矛盾；她想去，但她也想呆在家里。因此，该题选择C项。10. 单选题Although I dont wish to _ your contribution, I feel we must place it in tits proper perspective.问题1选项A.magnifyB.expurgateC.denigrateD.belittle【答案】D【解析】考查动词辨析。A项magnify表示“放大，赞美”，B项expurgate表示“删除，删去”，C项denigrate表示“诋毁，使变黑，玷污”，D项belittle表示“轻视，贬低”。Although引导让步状语从句，根据主句的内容“我觉得我们必须正确地看待它”可推知，I dont wish to _ your contribution表示的是“我不想贬低你的贡献”。句意：虽然我不想贬低你的贡献，但我觉得我们必须正确看待它。因此，该题选择D项正确。11. 单选题How do the professional timekeepers of the word determine, to the precise nanosecond, when a new year begins? They simply consult an atomic clock. And at the end of last month, just in time to ring in the new year, the Hewlett-Packard company, of Palo Alto, California, unveiled the latest in these meticulous time-pieces. For nearly 30 years, the firm has been supplying military and scientific clients with atomic clocks; the most advanced models neither gain nor lose more than a second every 800,000 years. But the newest version, a $54,0000 device the size of a desktop computer, is accurate to one second in 1.6 million yearsfar longer than all of human history to date.It is natural to wonder who could possibly need such precision. The answer: practically everyone, at least indirectly. Telephone and computer networks rely on atomic clocks to synchronize the flow of trillions of bits of information around the nation and the world, thus avoiding mammoth electronic logjams. Television and radio stations use the clocks to time their broadcasts. Satellite-based navigation systems depend on the devices to measure the arrival time of radio signals to within a tiny fraction of second, allowing users to gauge their location to within a few feet. The armed forces use atomic clocks to help track the almost imperceptible motions of continents across the surface of the earth and galaxies and stars across the sky. Even the people who dropped the ball in New York Citys Times Square to signal the start of 1992 relied on a timekeeping source that was pegged ultimately to an atomic clock.The principle that lies behind all this precision comes out of quantum physics. When an atom is bombarded with electromagnetic radiationin this case, microwavesits electrons shift into a new energy state. Each type of atom responds most readily to a particular frequency of radiation. For the cesium 133 atoms in most atomic clocks, the frequency is 9,192,613,770 vibrations per second. That means that when a microwave beam inside the clock is set exactly to that frequency, the maximum number of atoms will undergo the energy shift. This signals the clocks internal computer that the device is correctly tuned. And in fact, it is the vibrating microwaves that keep time; the atoms are used just to keep them on track.Theoretically, an atomic clock could keep perfect time, but the actual performance depends on engineering details exactly how the microwaves hit the cesium atoms, how sophisticated the electronics are and so on. It was by improving factors like these that Hewett-Packard boosted its clocks performance from incredibly good to even better. The next generation of clocks should do better sill, but no one is sure when that generation will come along. For new, a second every million and a half years will have to do.31. The newest atomic clock is accurate to _.32. Which of the following is NOT mentioned?33. Atomic clock is very accurate because _.34. The next generation of clock will be made _.问题1选项A.30 yearsB.no more than a second every 800,000 yearsC.a second in 1.6 million yearsD.$54,000问题2选项A.Television and radio stations use atomic clocks to time their broadcasts.B.The armed forces use atomic clocks to time secret calls to submarines around the world.C.Scientists use atomic clocks to gauge the location of continents across the surface of the earth.D.Telephone and computer networks rely on atomic clocks to synchronize the flow of large amount of information around the nation and the world.问题3选项A.quantum physics keeps perfect timeB.the cesium 133 atoms keeps perfect timeC.electro-magnetic radiation keeps timeD.the vibrating microwaves keep time问题4选项A.in a secondB.in a million yearsC.in a half yearD.in the time no one is sure of【答案】第1题:C第2题:B第3题:A第4题:D【解析】31.【试题答案】C【试题解析】细节事实题。题干意思是“最新的原子钟精确到”。根据第一段最后一句But the newest version, a $54,0000 device the size of a desktop computer, is accurate to one second in 1.6 million years（但是最新的版本，一台价值540000美元的台式电脑大小的设备，精确到160万年中的一秒）可知，C项“160万年一秒”正确，D项“54000美元”不符合题干。根据第一段倒数第二句For nearly 30 years, the firm has been supplying military and scientific clients with atomic clocks; the most advanced models neither gain nor lose more than a second every 800,000 years.（近30年来，该公司一直为军事和科研客户提供原子钟；最先进的模型每80万年增加或减少的时间都不超过一秒。）可知，A项“30年”错误，B项“每80万年不超过一秒”是最先进的版本，并不是最新的。因此，该题选择C项正确。32.【试题答案】B【试题解析】细节事实题。题干意思是“以下哪项没有提到？”。由第二段第二句Telephone and computer networks rely on atomic clocks to synchronize the flow of trillions of bits of information around the nation and the world, thus avoiding mammoth electronic logjams.（电话和计算机网络依靠原子钟来同步全国和全世界数万亿比特信息的流动，从而避免了巨大的电子堵塞。）可知，D项“电话和计算机网络依靠原子钟来同步全国和世界各地大量信息的流动”符合原文。由第二段第三句Television and radio stations use the clocks to time their broadcasts.（电视和广播电台用这些钟来给他们的广播计时。）可知，A项“电视和广播电台使用原子钟来计时他们的广播”有提到。根据第二段倒数第二句和第三句Satellite-based navigation systems depend on the devices to measure the arrival time of radio signals to within a tiny fraction of second, allowing users to gauge their location to within a few feet. The armed forces use atomic clocks to help track the almost imperceptible motions of continents across the surface of the earth and galaxies and stars across the sky.（基于卫星的导航系统依靠这些设备来测量无线电信号的到达时间，误差不超过几分之一秒，这让用户可以在几英尺内测量自己的位置。军队使用原子钟来追踪地球表面上几乎无法察觉的大陆运动，以及天空中星系和恒星的运动。）可知，使用原子钟来追踪大陆在地表上的位置在文中有提到，但是军队使用原子钟来计时秘密呼叫在文中并没有体现，所以B项“武装部队使用原子钟来计时向世界各地的潜艇发出的秘密呼叫”错误，C项“科学家使用原子钟来测量大陆在地球表面的位置”正确。因此，该题选择B项正确。33.【试题答案】A【试题解析】细节事实题。题干意思是“原子钟非常准确是因为”。根据文章第三段首句The principle that lies behind all this precision comes out of quantum physics.（所有这些精确背后的原理来自量子物理学。）可知，原子钟的精准性是来源于量子物理学，A项“量子物理精确计时”正确。B项“133铯原子精确计时”、C项“电磁辐射计时”和D项“振动的微波计时”都是原子钟的原理，属于量子物理。因此，该题选择A项正确。34.【试题答案】D【试题解析】细节事实题。题干意思是“下一代时钟将在时候制造出来”。文章最后一段倒数第二句指出The next generation of clocks should do better sill, but no one is sure when that generation will come along.（下一代钟表应该会做得更好，但没人确定这一代何时会出现。）可知，D项“没人能确定”正确。A项“一秒钟”、B项“一百万年”和C项“半年”都不正确。因此，该题选择D项正确。12. 单选题It should be obvious that cetaceans-whales, porpoises, and dolphins are mammals. They breathe through lungs, not through gills, and give birth to live young. Their streamlined bodies, the absence of hind legs, and the presence of a fluke and blowhole cannot disguise their affinities with land dwelling mammals. However, unlike the cases of sea otters and pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses, whose limbs are functional both on land and at sea), it is not easy to envision what the first whales looked like. Extinct but already fully marine cetaceans are known from the fossil record. How was the gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridged? Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate, or transitional, between land mammals and cetaceans.Very exciting discoveries have finally allowed scientists to reconstruct the most likely origins of cetaceans. In 1979, a team looking for fossils in northern Pakistan found what proved to be the oldest fossil whale. The fossil was official named Pakicetus in honor of the country where the discovery was made. Pakicetus was found embedded in rocks formed from river deposits that were 52 million years old. The river that formed these deposits was actually not far from an ancient ocean known as the Tethys Sea.The fossil consists of a complete skull of an archaeocyte, an extinct group of ancestors of modern cetaceans. Although limited to a skull, the Pakicetus fossil provides precious details on the origins of cetaceans. The skull is cetacean-like but its jawbones lack the enlarged space that is filled with fat or oil and used for receiving underwater sound in modern whales. Pakicetus probably detected sound through the ear opening as in land mammals. The skull also lacks a blowhole, another cetacean adaptation for diving. Other features, however, show experts that Pakicetus is a transitional form between a group of extinct flesh-eating mammals, the mesonychids, and cetaceans. It has been suggested that Pakicetus fed on fish in shallow water and was not yet adapted for life in the open ocean. It probably bred and gave birth on land.Another major discovery was made in Egypt in 1989. Several skeletons of another early whale, Basilosaurus, were found in sediments left by the Tethys Sea and now exposed in the Sahara desert. This whale lived around 40 million years ago, 12 million years after Pakicetus. Many incomplete skeletons were found but they included, for the first time in an archaeocyte, a complete hind leg that features a foot with three tiny toes. Such legs would have been far too small to have supported the 50-foot-long Basilosaurus on land. Basilosaurus was undoubtedly a fully marine whale with possibly nonfunctional, or vestigial, hind legs.58. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 1 about early sea otters?59. Pakicetus and modern cetaceans have similar _.60. The hind leg of Basilosaurus was a significant find because it showed that Basilosaurus _.61. It can be inferred that Basilosaurus bred and gave birth in which of the following locations?问题1选项A.It is not difficult to imagine what they looked like.B.There were great numbers of them.C.They lived in the sea only.D.They did not leave many fossil remains.问题2选项A.hearing structuresB.adaptations for divingC.skull shapesD.breeding locations问题3选项A.lived later than Ambulocetus natansB.lived at the same time as PakicetusC.was able to swim wellD.could not have walked on land问题4选项A.On land.B.Both on land and at sea.C.In shallow water.D.In a marine environment.【答案】第1题:A第2题:C第3题:D第4题:D【解析】58.【试题答案】A【试题解析】推理判断题。题干意思是“从第1段中可以推断出关于早期海獭的哪一项？”。根据第一段第四句However, unlike the cases of sea otters and pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses, whose limbs are functional both on land and at sea), it is not easy to envision what the first whales looked like.（然而，不像海獭和鳍足类动物，如海豹、海狮和海象，它们的四肢既能在陆地上也能在海上活动，很难想象第一批鲸鱼长什么样）可知，第一批鲸鱼不像海獭和鳍足类动物一样，它们只能在海里活动，所以很难想象它们的样子，从而反推，想象早期的海獭是什么样子没有那么难，故A项“不难想象它们长什么样”正确，由此也可知C项“他们只住在海里”与原文不符；第一段都没有提到早期海獭的数量及其化石，B项“数量巨大”和D项“他们没有留下很多化石遗迹”不选。因此，该题选择A项正确。59.【试题答案】C【试题解析】细节事实题。题干意思是“巴基鲸和现代鲸目动物也有类似的”。根据第三段第三句The skull is cetacean-like but its jawbones lack the enlarged space that is filled with fat or oil and used for receiving underwater sound in modern whales.（这个头骨与鲸类动物相似，但它的下颚骨缺少现代鲸鱼用来接收水下声音的、充满脂肪或油的扩大空间。）可知，Pakicetus化石有和现代鲸目动物相似的头骨，C项“头骨形状”正确；第三段第四句提到Pakicetus probably detected sound through the ear opening as in land mammals.（巴基鲸可能像陆地哺乳动物一样通过耳孔探测声音。）可知，巴基鲸的听力结构可能和陆地哺乳动物一样，但现代鲸目动物是海洋哺乳生物，故A项“听力结构”错误；第三段最后两句指出It has been suggested that Pakicetus fed on fish in shallow water and was not yet adapted for life in the open ocean. It probably bred and gave birth on land.（据推测，巴基鲸以浅水鱼类为食，尚未适应在开阔的海洋中生活。它可能在陆地上繁殖和繁殖。）可知，巴基鲸并不能在海中生活更
