一、Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna (天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. "What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism (代谢) (a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna," said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. (76) The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals.
Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation (电磁辐射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause Cancer. "This study does not in any way indicate that.What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures." Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1980s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide.
Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. Volkow's team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on.
(77) Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. “Although the biological significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation,” Henry Lai of the Unive

4、What does the word “that” stand for in the second paragraph?
A、Brain activity.
B、Her research findings.
C、The fact that cell Phone use may cause cancer.
D、Her research progress.
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在原文中,科学家说:“What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism (代谢) (a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna”,这句话表示“我们所展示的是,当人们在靠近手机天线的地方使用手机时,大脑中葡萄糖代谢(一种大脑活动的标志)会增加”。接着在第二段中提到,“Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation (电磁辐射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause Cancer.”,也就是说Volkow表示手机电磁辐射可能会影响大脑活动,但这并不表明手机会导致癌症。因此,“that”在此处应该是指“手机使用可能会导致癌症”这个事实,即选项C。

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
Human beings have always had an ability to attend to several things at once. (78) Nor is electronic multitasking entirely new: We've been driving while listening to car radios since they became popular in the 1930s. But there is no doubt that multitasking has reached a kind of warp speed in the era of Web-enabled computers, when it has become routine to conduct several IM (即时通讯) conversations, watch TV and use the computer all at once.
But what's the impact of this. media consumption? And how are these multitasking devices changing how kids learn, reason and communicate with one another? Social scientists and educators are just beginning to deal with these questions, but the researchers already have some strong opinions.
(79) Although multitasking kids may be better prepared in some ways for today's fast-paced workplace, many scientists are positively alarmed by the trend. Kids that are instant messaging while doing homework, playing games online and watching TV, aren't going to do well in the long run.
On the positive side, multitasking students tend to be extraordinarily good at finding and using information. And probably because modem childhood centers around visual (视觉的) rather than print media, they are especially skilled at analyzing visual data and images.
Many educators and psychologists say parents need to actively ensure that their teenagers break free of uncontrollable engagement with screens and spend time in the physical company of human beings--a growing challenge not just because technology offers’ such a handy option but because so many kids lead highly scheduled lives that leave little time for old-fashioned socializing and family meals. Indeed, many teenagers and college students say overcommitted (任务过重的) schedules drive much of their multitasking.

Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
The nuclear power emergency at a Japanese atomic power plant last March could lead to a major re-examination in European countries that are already building such plants or are considering a shift from fossil (化石) fuels to nuclear energy to fight climate change. With the terrible accident 25 years ago in Chemobyl (切尔偌贝利) beginning to fade in European memories, governments across Europe have grown more open to using more nuclear power. Enthusiasm for nuclear power is particularly strong in Eastern Europe, which wants to move away from dependence on Russian oil and natural gas, and on heavily polluting coal-fired power plants. Eastern governments have begun improving existing nuclear plants or are building or planning new ones. But as Japan struggled to deal with her nuclear crisis, discussion about the good and the bad of nuclear power became heated.
(80) In Germany, nuclear power has been a repeatedly argued and widely felt issue for decades. Up to 70 percent of Germans oppose nuclear power. Recently, about 40,000 people turned out to form a human chain near a nuclear plant to protest government policies on nuclear power. "The accident in Japan could lead to a major rethink in Europe," said Henrik Paulitz of the International Doctors for the Prevention of Nuclear War. "Governments have not been quite open about the safety levels of the nuclear power plants."
Chancellor (总理) Angela Merkel heads a center-right unity government that supports the use of nuclear power. Her government recently made a disputed decision to extend the life of the country's 17 nuclear power plants by an average of 12 years. She will now face more pressure to change that policy. She called an emergency meeting with her senior ministers, “We know how safe our plants are and that we do not face a threat from such a serious earthquake or violent tidal wave," Mrs. Merkel said after the meeting. "We will learn what we can from the events in Japan.”
11、According to the passage, which of the following about Europe is TRUE?

The mysterious tiger has been a symbol of power and strength for centuries. Its power is a 56 to hunters, 57 have tried to kill it to prove their own skill and 58 . In India 59 the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, large parties of 60 from around the world 61 go out on huge tiger hunts. Hundreds’ of tigers could be killed in a few weeks. As a 62 of this over-hunting, 63 with loss of habitat (栖息地), the population of tigers in India dropped from about 40,000 64 the turn of the twentieth century to about 2,000 by 1972.
With the help of India and other concerned countries, the World Wildlife Fund 65 Operation Tiger in 1972 to save the tiger 66 dying out. Since then, seventeen tiger preserves (保护区) have been 67 , and the tiger population in India has risen to 68 4,000 and 5,000.
But when people live on the 69 of the tiger preserves, tigers sometimes kill their farm animals and attack people --about 600 people in India have been killed by tigers in the last dozen years. 70 tigers do not eat humans.

56、( 56 )
A、succession
B、challenge
C、guarantee
D、intelligence
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:根据句子结构和语境,空格后提到“have tried to kill it to prove their own skill and”,表明猎虎对猎人来说是一种挑战,因此选项B“challenge”最符合语境。选项A“succession”表示继承或连续,不符合语境;选项C“guarantee”表示保证,也不符合语境;选项D“intelligence”表示智力,与句子内容无关。因此,正确答案是B。
57、( 57 )
A、that
B、which
C、who
D、those
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在句子中,空格后面是“have tried to kill it to prove their own skill and ...”,这是一个完整的句子,所以空格处需要一个代词来指代前面的主语,即“猎人们”。选项A的“that”不能作为代词使用,选项B的“which”虽然可以作为关系代词引导定语从句,但在这个语境下不太合适,选项D的“those”虽然可以指代复数名词,但在这个语境下也不合适。因此,选项C的“who”作为代词,指代“猎人们”最为合适。
58、( 58 )
A、bravery
B、intention
C、ambition
D、harmony
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在句子中,提到了猎人们试图杀死老虎来证明自己的技能和“ambition”(野心)。因此,空格处应该填入与“ambition”相关的选项。选项A“bravery”(勇气)虽然是一个积极的品质,但与“ambition”相比,它更侧重于个人的勇气和决心,而不是为了证明技能或野心。选项B“intention”(意图)和选项D“harmony”(和谐)与句子的语境不符。因此,选项C“ambition”(野心)是最符合语境的答案。
59、( 59 )
A、on
B、throughout
C、with
D、for
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在原文中,句子提到“In India __ the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries”,根据常识和语境,应该是指“在印度十九世纪和二十世纪初”,所以选项B“throughout”表示“贯穿,遍及”符合语境。选项A“on”表示“在……上面”,不符合语境;选项C“with”表示“和,带有”,也不符合语境;选项D“for”表示“为了”,也不符合语境。因此,正确答案是B。
60、( 60 )
A、statesmen
B、salesmen
C、sportsmen
D、chairmen
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:题干中提到,在印度的第十九世纪和二十世纪初,来自世界各地的猎人们会组织大型的猎虎行动。根据常识,参与这种活动的应该是专业的猎人,即“sportsmen”(运动员)。因此,选项C“sportsmen”为正确答案。其他选项A“statesmen”(政治家)、B“salesmen”(推销员)、D“chairmen”(主席)均不符合题意。
61、( 61 )
A、had better
B、would rather
C、ought to
D、used to
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在句子中,描述的是过去的情况,即“在19世纪和20世纪初,来自世界各地的猎人队伍”进行虎猎,而“used to”表示过去常常做某事,符合句子所描述的情况。而其他选项“had better”、“would rather”、“ought to”均不符合句子所描述的时间背景。因此,正确答案为D。
62、( 62 )
A、result
B、condition
C、lack
D、cause
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在文章中提到,过度捕猎和栖息地丧失是印度老虎数量减少的原因,因此“结果”是最符合语境的答案。选项B“条件”不符合语境;选项C“缺乏”虽然与数量减少有关,但不如“结果”更准确地描述问题;选项D“原因”也不如“结果”准确,因为它更多的是描述因果关系,而不是问题的结果。因此,A选项“结果”是最佳选择。
63、( 63 )
A、provided
B、guided
C、perceived
D、combined
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在原文中,提到了过度捕猎和栖息地丧失的问题,导致印度老虎数量从世纪初的约40,000只下降到1972年的约2,000只。因此,需要描述这两个问题的综合影响,而选项D中的“combined”表示这两个问题是合并考虑的,符合文意。选项A中的“provided”表示提供,与文意不符;选项B中的“guided”表示引导,也不符合文意;选项C中的“perceived”表示感知,虽然可以表示人们意识到了这两个问题,但不如“combined”表达综合影响的意思更恰当。
64、( 64 )
A、with
B、for
C、at
D、in
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:根据上下文,句子中的空格需要填入一个表示“到……的时候”的介词,选项C中的“at”正是这个介词。句子中表达的是“从世纪初到二十世纪七十年代”,因此使用“at the turn of the twentieth century”来表示。选项A中的“with”、选项B中的“for”和选项D中的“in”都不符合句意。因此,正确答案是C。
65、( 65 )
A、fastened
B、founded
C、surveyed
D、interfered
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:原文中提到,World Wildlife Fund在1972年开始了一项名为Operation Tiger的行动,旨在拯救濒临灭绝的老虎。因此,正确答案是“founded”,表示该组织成立了一项行动。其他选项的意思分别是:A. fastened(固定),C. surveyed(调查),D. interfered(干涉),都与原文不符。
66、( 66 )
A、through
B、from
C、away
D、out
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在原文中,提到“World Wildlife Fund”在1972年启动了“Operation Tiger”来拯救老虎,防止其灭绝。因此,空格处应该填入表示“从”的介词,即“from”。选项B“from”符合语境,表示“World Wildlife Fund”从1972年开始启动“Operation Tiger”来拯救老虎。因此,答案为B。
67、( 67 )
A、set up
B、stood up
C、paid back
D、hold back
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:根据句子结构和语境,空格后的“seventeen tiger preserves”表示“17个虎保护区”,因此应该选择“设立”或“建立”之类的动词。选项A中的“set up”表示“建立”,符合语境。选项B中的“stood up”表示“站起来”,不符合语境;选项C中的“paid back”表示“偿还”,不符合语境;选项D中的“hold back”表示“阻止”,不符合语境。因此,正确答案为A。
68、( 68 )
A、among
B、through
C、between
D、from
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在句子中,提到了“the tiger population in India has risen to 4,000 and 5,000”,意思是“印度老虎的数量已经上升到4000到5000只”。这里需要一个介词来连接“rise”和“4,000 and 5,000”,表示老虎数量上升到的具体范围。选项A“among”表示“在……之间”,不符合句意;选项B“through”表示“穿过”,也不符合句意;选项D“from”表示“从……开始”,也不符合句意。只有选项C“between”表示“在……之间”,符合句意,因此选择C作为答案。
69、( 69 )
A、edge
B、back
C、front
D、center
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在文中提到“But when people live on the edge of the tiger preserves”,意思是“但当人们居住在保护区的边缘时”,因此选项A“edge”符合文意。其他选项B“back”、C“front”、D“center”均不符合文意。
70、( 70 )
A、Occasionally
B、Usually
C、Rarely
D、Repeatedly
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在题目中,句子提到“tigers do not eat humans”,说明老虎通常不会攻击人类。接着句子提到“But ‘old, wounded and homeless’ tigers can become habitual man-eaters”,说明在特定情况下,老虎可能会攻击人类。因此,句子中的“偶尔”与“通常”和“很少”相比,更能准确地描述老虎攻击人类的频率。因此,答案为B,即“偶尔”。
71、( 71 )
A、looked up to
B、passed by
C、kept in touch with
D、come up with
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:原文中提到"村民们想出了一个巧妙的办法",根据选项D的"come up with"意为"想出"符合文意。因此,正确答案是D。

A、as soon as
B、so that
C、as long as
D、for fear that
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】根据句意,村民将假人连接到电线上是为了让老虎在攻击时得到电击,因此应该使用“so that”表示目的,即“为了让老虎得到电击”。其他选项不符合句意。因此,答案为B。
73、( 73 )
A、delicate
B、sensitive
C、electric
D、magnificent
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:题干中提到"它们"指的是tigers,当它们攻击时,会得到电击。所以应该选"electric"表示电击。其他选项"delicate"表示精致的,"sensitive"表示敏感的,"magnificent"表示宏伟的,都不符合题意。因此,正确答案是C。
74、( 74 )
A、protect
B、attack
C、avoid
D、penetrate
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:在文中提到,村民们用假人来电击攻击老虎,希望老虎能够学会避免攻击人类。因此,正确答案是C,即“避免”。其他选项A“保护”、B“攻击”、D“穿透”都不符合文意。
75、( 75 )
A、remains
B、removes
C、releases
D、relieves
解析:【喵呜刷题小喵解析】:根据文章的内容,人和虎之间的冲突仍然存在,尽管采取了某些措施,如放置假人等,试图减少冲突,但是解决这个冲突的根本问题在于人们需要有足够的食物、住所和燃料,以确保虎的生存。因此,尽管有一些缓解措施,但是人和虎之间的冲突并未完全解决,选项A "remains"意为“仍然存在”,符合语境。选项B “removes”意为“移除”,选项C “releases”意为“释放”,选项D “relieves”意为“减轻”,都不符合语境。

81、最近发生在日本的地震改变了地球表面。
参考答案:The recent earthquake in Japan has changed the surface of the Earth.
解析:【喵呜刷题小u解析】:这句话的意思是“最近发生在日本的地震改变了地球表面”。在这个句子中,“recent earthquake in Japan”指的是最近在日本发生的地震,而“changed the surface of the Earth”则表明这次地震对地球表面产生了影响。虽然这句话在语法和结构上没有问题,但“改变了地球表面”这个表述可能有些夸张,因为一次地震不太可能对整个地球表面产生显著的影响。更准确的表述可能是“改变了日本地区的地表形态”或者“对日本地区造成了影响”。
