第1题：
Passage One
Long time ago, the ancient people could not travel to any far away places for they had no vehicle to carry them across the wide oceans, deep valleys, long rivers or high mountains.
Nowadays people take advantage of steamships, trains, airplanes and modern bridges. Airplanes can carry us to the far countries in a short time; steamships can travel across the wide oceans. It is convenient to the modern people.
Travelling is a good idea to us because we can get more knowledge, such as the customs, the geography of other countries. And people could travel among the different countries in the world. For it is easy to travel from the land by trains, or from the sea by ships.
We learnt that the Italian who made the world large was Mr. Columbus. He was a brave man. Up to the middle of the 15th century, the people were afraid of traveling because they believed it was a dangerous thing.
There is a saying in China, which is "Travelling for thousands is better than reading for ten years." It is to say that we can learn more in different places than we can learn from books.
36. The people in ancient times couldn't travel too far away places because______.
A. they found it no use doing so
B. they liked staying at home
C. there was no modern transportation
D. they were forbidden to go to other countries
正确答案：C此题为细节题。见在第一段内the ancient people could not travel to any faraway places for they had no instruments说明古人出游不能离家太远作长途旅行的原因；没有现代的交通工具。

第4题：
There were many different cultures in the ancient world,but the two that had the most influence?on European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman．Often these two eultures are?lumped together in our minds,as if they were really exactly alike．But that is not the case．In many?ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different．
The Greeks were truly democratic,often without a single leader but instead governed by a group?of men chosen by the people．The Romans were semi-democratic．They had a governing Senate,but?the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor．
Both cultures were great builders．But the construction interests of the two cultures were also?different．The Greeks tended to be more artistic．Their buildings were well constructed and they were?especially interested in temples,columns,and decorative forms．The Romans,on the other hand,were more engineers than artists．They concentrated their efforts on urban planning,well-functioning?water pipes,and the best roads．
Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar．Both peoples ate very well?indeed:lots of fish,fresh vegetables and fruits,healthy meals,holding at the same time long?discussions and tasting excellent wines．
In fact,it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm,
sea-oriented?climates,and they both lived a full life．
Which of the following is TRUE?A.The Romans had more political awareness．
B.The Romans had less political freedom and democracy．
C.The Romans had more freedom to choose their leader．
D.The Romans had fewer people elected into the government．答案：B解析：【考情点拨】推理判断题。

共用题干
The first navigational lights in the New World were probably lanterns hung at harbor entrances.The first lighthouse was put up by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on Little Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor, Paid for and maintained by“light dues”levied（征 收）on ships,the original beacon was blown up in 1776.Until then there were only a dozen or so true lighthouses in the colonies.Little over a century later,there were 700 lighthouses.
The first eight lighthouses erected on the West Coast in the 1850s featured the same basic New England design:a Cape Cod dwelling with the tower rising from the center or standing close by .In New England and elsewhere,though,lighthouses reflected a variety of architectural styles.
Since most stations in the Northeast were set up on rocky eminences（高处）,enormous towers were not the rule .Some were made of stone and brick,others of wood or metal.Some stood on pilings or stilts;some were fastened to rock with iron rods.Farther south,from Maryland through the Florida Keys,the coast was low and sandy.It was often necessary to build tall towers theremassive structures like the majestic lighthouse in Cape Hatteras,North Carolina,which was lit in 1870.190 feet high,it is the tallest brick lighthouse in the country.
Not withstanding differences in construction appearance,most lighthouses in America shared several features:a light,living quarters,and sometimes a bell(or,later,a foghorn).They also had something else in common:a keeper and usually the keeper's family.The keeper's essential task was trimming the lantern wick（灯芯）in order to maintain a steady,bright flame. The earliest keepers came from every walk of life, they were seamen,farmers,mechanics,rough mill hands and appointments were often handed out by local customs commissioners as political plums.
After the administration of lighthouse was taken over in 1852 by the United States Lighthouse Board,and agency of the Treasury Department,the keeper corps gradually became highly professional.It can be inferred from the passage that lighthouses in the Northeast did NOT need high towers because______.
A: ships there had high masts
B: coastal waters were safe
C: the coast was straight and unobstructed
D: the lighthouses were built on high places答案：D解析：本文从最早美国灯塔的雏形，谈到美国早期灯塔的建筑，以及美国早期灯塔在外形和建筑上的共同点，最后还谈到了灯塔管理人员的工作生活。文章所提到的要点都是围绕着美国早期灯塔。选项B、D文中均有涉及，但并非重点。A项只提到了美国第一座灯塔。所以，正确答案是C。
考的具体细节是作者提到马萨诸塞湾殖民地的原因。本文第一段第二句“The first lighthouse was put up by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on Little Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor”提供了答案。所以，正确答案是D。
考的是位于东北地区的灯塔建得不是很高的原因。本题的线索在第二段第三句话“Since most stations in the Northeast were built on rocky eminences,enormous towers were not the rule.”文中说，由于大多数位于东北地区的灯塔建在岩石高地上，所以，一般灯塔都不需要建得很高很大。所以，正确答案是D。
考的具体细节是最高的砖砌灯塔位于什么地方。依据原文第二段第八句话，“…like the majestic lighthouse in Cape Hatteras…it is the tallest brick lighthouse in the coun-try.”我们可以得知，1870年建于北卡罗来纳州Hatteras角的灯塔是美国最高的砖砌灯塔，高度为190英尺。所以，正确答案是C。
考的是北卡罗来纳州的海岸情况。根据原文第二段第七、八句话“Farther south,from Maryland through the Florida Keys，…it is the tallest brick lighthouse in the country.”可知，马里兰（Maryland）和佛罗里达海岸（the Florida Keys）相似，而马里兰（Maryland)和佛罗里达（the Florida Keys）海岸是low and sandy。所以，北卡罗来纳州也应是low and sandy。选项A rocky eminences指的是美国东北海岸，选项B、D根本没有提及。所以，正确条案是C。 -

第18题：
问答题Passage 2 A land free from destruction, wealth, natural resources, and labor supply--all these were important 1 in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution. 2 they were not enough. Something 3 was needed to start the industrial process. That "something special", was men-- creative individuals who could invent machines, find new sources of power, and 4 business organizations to reshape the society. The men who created the machines of the Industrial Revolution 5 from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were 6 inventors than scientists. A man who is a pure scientist is primarily interested in doing his research accurately. He is not necessarily working 7 that his findings can be used. An inventor or one interested in applied science is usually trying to make something 8 has a concrete use. He tries to solve a problem by following the theories of science or by experimenting 9 trial and error. Regardless 10 his method, he is working to obtain a specific result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of many other objectives. Most of the people who developed the machines of the Industrial Revolution were 11 . A 12 were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had little or no training 13 science might have made their inventions, 14 a groundwork had been laid by scientists years 15 .正确答案： 1. factors 根据句意,没有破坏的土地、财富、自然资源和劳动力都是英国成为工业革命中心的重要因素。因此填入factors。
2. But 通过后面的not enough可知,空格处应该填入表示转折的But。注意首字母大写。
3. else 文章一开始就提到一系列因素,接着说这些因素还不够,由此可知,此处填入else,修饰something表示其他事物。
4. establish/found/start 空格部分需填入动词与business organizations搭配。
5. came/were 句意:工业革命中发明各种机器的人有着各种背景,从事各种职业。come from/ be from来自。注意此处需使用过去时态。
6. more more...than...后跟形容词、副词、动词、名词等,且more后部分和than后部分词类相同,表示“与其说……不如说、是……不是、是……更是、有……无……”等。
7. so so that表示结果。这里指科学家的工作不一定是要让他的发现能够被使用。
8. that 空格部分填入that引导定语从句修饰不定代词something。
9. through trial and error反复试验;不断摸索。这里填入through,意思为“通过,凭借”。
10. of regardless of不顾,不管。
11. inventors 通过上文介绍可知,发明家更倾向于发明实用的东西,而科学家的研究不一定能够被使用。因此该句应该填入inventors。
12. few 此处填入few。a few“一些”,与上一句中的most of the people形成对比。
13. in training in sth.关于……的培训。
14. because 逗号后面的句子为前面的句子的原因,因此填入because。
15. before 句意:甚至那些很少甚至没有接受科学培训的人也可能会发明东西,因为科学家数年前就已经奠定好了基础。years before数年前。解析： 暂无解析 -
