一、Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares(噩梦).
(76)Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去), the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. (77) So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions.” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
“All of us can think of bad events in our lived that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.

解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在Paragraph One中，“scars”这个词被用来描述暴力和交通事故给人们留下的身体和情感上的创伤。因此，根据上下文，我们可以推断出“scars”在这里的意思是“创伤、伤痕”，与选项B“pains”（痛苦）最为接近。
Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
On-the-job smoking is a hot issue for both smokers and non-smokers, and many managers now see smoking as a productivity problem. Although some people question whether smoking really affects one’s productivity, it has, in fact, been proven that a smoker costs a company more than a non-smoker. According to Professor William Weis, a smoking employee costs his or her employer about $ 5,700 more a year than a never-smoker. These costs include medical care, lost earnings and insurance. And absence due to smoking breaks is one of the productivity problems, yet it accounts for a great deal of employer costs.
(78) When the issue of smoking at the workplace is discussed, perhaps the most important problem is the health risk that smoking causes to both smokers and never-smokers. It has long been proven that smoking is linked to lung cancer. Now many health experts warn that passive smoking can cause lung cancer and other illnesses in healthy never-smokers. Passive smoking can be defined as exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke in enclosed areas. Anyone who has been with smokers indeed knows that their smoke can cause eye irritation, coughing, headaches and throat soreness. While eye irritation may seem a small thing to some smokers, it nevertheless is a problem that occurs every workday in offices and break-rooms and can lead to greater health problems. Employees who do not smoke should not be subjected to the risks of passive smoking and need to be able to work in a safe environment. Surgeon General Koop states that the right of the smoker stops at the point where his or her smoking increases the disease risk of those occupying the same environment.
6、All the following cases are on-the-job smoking except that__ .
A、an employer smokes while working in the office
B、a taxi driver smokes while driving the car
C、a worker smokes while working in the workshop
D、a worker smokes while reading in the train
解析：
题目:除上述情况外，其余均为在职吸烟。
A:雇主在办公室工作时吸烟
B:出租车司机开车时抽烟
C:一个工人在车间工作时抽烟
D:一个工人在火车上看书时抽烟
7、According to the passage, on-the-job smoking affects an employee’s performance in the office in that_____.
A、he can concentrate on what he is doing while smoking
B、he often goes away from his desk to smoke in the break-room
C、he often asks for sick leave as a result of too much smoking
D、he takes a rest from time to time because of eye irritation
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】根据文章中的描述，吸烟员工在办公室中经常需要离开办公桌去吸烟室吸烟，这会导致他们的工作效率下降，因为他们需要花费额外的时间去吸烟。因此，选项B“他经常离开办公桌去吸烟室吸烟”是正确的答案。而选项A“他可以在吸烟时集中精力做工作”与文章内容不符；选项C“他经常因为吸烟太多而请假”也没有在文章中提到；选项D“他因为眼睛刺痛而经常休息”虽然文章中提到了眼睛刺痛的问题，但并未说明这是影响员工表现的主要原因。

A、reduces productivity of the company to a certain degree
B、does harm to the health of never-smokers of the company
C、affects the relationship between smokers and non-smokers
D、makes the break-rooms more crowded and more polluted
解析：

A:在一定程度上降低了公司的生产效率
B:对公司不吸烟的人的健康有害吗
C:影响吸烟者和非吸烟者之间的关系

Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage
Scientists in India have invented a new way to produce electricity. Their invention does not get its power from oil, coal or other fuels. It produces electricity with the power of animals. India has about eighty million bullocks. They do all kinds of jobs. They work in the fields. They pull vehicles through the streets. They carry water containers. (79)Indian energy officials have been seeking ways to use less imported oil to provide energy. Scientists at the National Institute for Industrial Engineering in Bombay wondered whether the millions of bullocks could help. Many villages in India lack electricity, but they have many bullocks. And often the animals are not working. One job done by bullocks is to pump water out of the well. The animals do this by walking around and around in a circle. As they walk, they turn a heavy stick that makes the pump move. This simple technology is centuries old. Scientists thought that the same technology could be used to produce electricity. Bullocks walk in a circle only two or three times a minute. This is much too slow to produce electricity, but it can create enough power to turn a series of gears. A large gear sits next to a smaller gear. As the large gear turns, it causes the smaller gear to turn. That gear turns an even smaller one. Each gear moves faster because it is a little smaller. The smallest gear may turn extremely fast. (80)Clocks operate with gears. So do cars and so does the device invented by the Indian scientists to produce electricity.
According to the officials in the United Nations, the idea is being tested at several places in India. The device is easy to operate and repair. And it can be moved easily. It costs about three hundred and seven dollars now to make such a device, but production of large numbers of them could cut the cost of each to about two hundred dollars.
11、Who first thought of using bullocks to provide energy?
A、Indian energy officials
B、Scientists in India
C、Officials in the United Nations

D:携带食物篮子。
13、Why are bullocks used to provide energy in India?
A、Because bullocks have long been used by Indian people
B、Because bullocks walk slowly and are easy to control
C、Because there are few non-working bullocks in India
D、Because there is not enough oil in India
解析：
题目:为什么公牛在印度被用来提供能源?
A:因为印度人很早就开始使用公牛了
B:因为公牛走得很慢，很容易控制
C:因为在印度很少有不工作的公牛

14、In the sentence “This simple technology is centuries old” in Paragraph One, “This simple technology” refers to _____.
A、using bullocks to produce energy
B、using pumps to draw water out
C、having bullocks walk around to make the pump move
D、connecting gears of different sizes to produce electricity.
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】在文中，“This simple technology”是指使用牛走圈来移动泵的技术，也就是使用牛来抽水。这种技术已经存在了几个世纪，所以“This simple technology is centuries old”指的是使用牛走圈来移动泵的技术已经存在很长时间了。因此，正确答案是C，即“让牛走圈来移动泵”。

Scientists call this the green-house effect.
56、( 56 )
A、warmer
B、colder
C、better
D、worse
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在题目中，描述的是地球将要经历的重大变化，这些变化通常是不利的，因此空白处应该填入描述不利变化的词。选项D "worse" 意为“更糟的”，符合语境。而选项A "warmer" 意为“更温暖的”，与语境不符；选项B "colder" 意为“更冷的”，同样与语境不符；选项C "better" 意为“更好的”，也与语境不符。因此，正确答案是D。
57、( 57 )
A、land
B、agriculture
C、climate
D、weather
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在句子中提到了“major changes in __57__ in the new century”，意思是“在新世纪，__57__将会有重大变化”。根据常识和语境，气候变化是导致地球环境重大变化的主要原因之一，因此选项C“climate”最符合语境。其他选项A“land”表示土地，B“agriculture”表示农业，D“weather”表示天气，虽然都与地球环境有关，但不如“climate”更全面地涵盖可能的变化。因此，正确答案是C。
58、( 58 )
A、lower
B、higher
C、normal
D、proper
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在文中提到，沿海的水域将有一个更高的温度，这将对农业产生巨大的影响。因此，正确选项为B，即更高的温度。其他选项如A（更低的温度）、C（正常的温度）和D（适当的温度）都与文意不符。
59、( 59 )
A、good
B、general
C、serious
D、useful
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：根据上下文，句子中提到了“This will have a __59__ effect on agriculture”，意思是这将对农业产生某种影响。选项A“good”表示好的，选项B“general”表示一般的，选项C“serious”表示严重的，选项D“useful”表示有用的。根据上下文语境，这种影响很可能是对农业不利的，因此应该选择表示严重影响的选项C。
60、( 60 )
A、getting
B、playing
C、taking
D、growing
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：本题主要考查了固定搭配的使用，需要理解句子的含义，同时熟悉相关词汇的用法。在句子"In northern areas, the __60__ season will be ten days longer by the year 2010."中，描述的是到2010年，北方地区的某个季节会延长十天，而"season"后面常用"growing"来表示季节的变长，所以答案为D，即"growing"。其他选项的含义分别为："A getting"表示变得，不符合句意；"B playing"表示玩耍，与句意不符；"C taking"表示拿取，也不符合句意。
61、( 61 )
A、much
B、many
C、amount
D、number
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：本空后面提到了“a decrease in agriculture production”，说明这里应该指的是某种东西减少，而“amount”表示数量，符合语境。选项A“much”表示程度，不符合语境；选项B“many”表示多个，也不符合语境；选项D“number”表示数字，也不符合语境。因此，正确答案是C。
62、( 62 )
A、fall
B、decrease
C、refuse
D、rise
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：题目中提到"科学家说，未来几年地球会发生非常严重的事情，它将开始变得......"，根据常识和语境，地球在未来几年将会发生严重的变化，最有可能的是气温升高，因此选项B "decrease"不符合语境，选项A "fall"表示落下，不符合语境，选项C "refuse"表示拒绝，也不符合语境，只有选项D "rise"表示上升，符合语境，因此答案为B。
63、( 63 )
A、lead
B、keep
C、make
D、cause
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：题干中提到“This would __63__ a large decrease in agriculture production.”，意为“这会导致农业生产大幅减少。”根据选项，A项“lead to”意为“导致”，B项“keep”意为“保持”，C项“make”意为“制造”，D项“cause”意为“导致”，与题干意思相符，因此正确答案为D。
64、( 64 )
A、increase
B、drop
C、lift
D、realize
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在原文中提到了“World temperature could __64__ two degrees centigrade by the year 2040.”，这句话说明世界温度到2040年可能会增加两度。因此，选项A“increase”符合原文意思，是正确答案。选项B“drop”表示减少，与原文意思不符；选项C“lift”表示提升，也不符合原文；选项D“realize”表示意识到，与原文意思也不符。
65、( 65 )
A、water
B、rain
C、stone
D、ice
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：根据上下文，题目中描述的是全球变暖导致冰川融化，海平面上升，许多沿海城市将被淹没。因此，空格处应该填入与冰川融化相关的选项。选项D中的“ice”表示冰，符合题意。其他选项A中的“water”表示水，B中的“rain”表示雨，C中的“stone”表示石头，都与冰川融化没有直接关系。因此，正确答案是D。
66、( 66 )
A、degree
B、level
C、coast
D、area
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在题目中，句子提到“This could cause the __65__ sheets to melt and raise the __66__ of the oceans __67__ one to two meters.”，根据常识和语境，我们知道地球表面由多个板块组成，而海洋的“level”（水平面）会随着这些板块的变化而变化。因此，选项B“level”最符合语境，表示海平面上升。而选项A“degree”表示度数，不符合语境；选项C“coast”表示海岸，也不符合语境；选项D“area”表示区域，与题意不符。因此，正确答案是B。
67、( 67 )
A、by
B、to
C、of
D、with
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在句子中，空格后面是“one to two meters”，表示“一到两米”，因此应该使用介词“to”表示“升高到”。选项A中的“to”符合语境，而选项B的“by”表示“通过”，选项C的“of”表示“属于”，选项D的“with”表示“和”，都不符合语境。因此，正确答案是A。
68、( 68 )
A、above
B、under
C、below
D、over
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在原文中，描述的是全球变暖导致海平面上升，许多沿海城市会被水淹没。因此，正确选项应该是“under”，表示“在……下面”。其他选项“above”表示“在……上面”，“below”表示“低于”，“over”表示“在……上方”，都不符合语境。
69、( 69 )
A、little
B、many
C、few
D、much
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在给出的句子中，描述了地球正在发生非常严重的变化，而变化的其中一个原因是空气中二氧化碳含量过多。因此，在句子中需要填入一个形容词来描述二氧化碳的含量，选项A、C表示数量较少，不符合语境；选项B表示数量多，但没有强调“过多”，只有选项D表示“很多”，符合语境。因此，正确答案是D。
70、( 70 )
A、If
B、Because
C、When
D、Why
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：题目中描述的是全球变暖的现象，其中提到石油、煤等燃料的燃烧会产生大量的二氧化碳，这些二氧化碳会导致温室效应，使地球温度升高。因此，在描述这种现象时，应该使用“当……时”的引导词，表示这种情况的发生是在某种条件下发生的，即“When”。选项C中的“When”符合题意，因此是正确答案。选项A的“If”表示条件，不符合题意；选项B的“Because”表示原因，也不符合题意；选项D的“Why”表示疑问，更不符合题意。
71、( 71 )
A、sunlight
B、air
C、rain
D、gas
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：根据上下文，这里提到的是二氧化碳让阳光进入地球大气层，因此正确选项是A，即“阳光”。其他选项如空气、雨水和气体在此处并不符合语境。
72、( 72 )
A、cold
B、protect
C、hurt
D、heat
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：根据上下文，此处应该填入与“地球变暖”相关的词汇。选项A“A cold”意为“寒冷的”，与变暖相反；选项B“protect”意为“保护”，不符合文意；选项C“hurt”意为“伤害”，与文意不符；选项D“heat”意为“热量”，符合文意，表示地球因为吸收更多的热量而变暖。因此，正确答案为D。
73、( 73 )
A、enter
B、get
C、leave
D、reach
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：根据上下文，这里描述的是二氧化碳不让热量离开大气层，因此应该选择“leave”（离开）。选项A“enter”（进入）和选项B“get”（得到）都与文意不符，选项D“reach”（到达）也与文意不符。因此，正确答案是C。
74、( 74 )
A、through
B、by
C、from
D、on
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在句子中，let后面接的是动词原形，表示“让……做某事”。而let后面接动词原形时，常用介词from表示“从……中”，因此选项C中的“from”是正确的。选项A中的“through”表示“穿过”，选项B中的“by”表示“被……”，选项D中的“on”表示“在……上”，均不符合句意。因此，正确答案是C。
75、( 75 )
A、stores
B、arrives
C、stands
D、stays
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在给出的句子中，提到了热量不能从大气层中逸出，而是被困在那里。因此，需要选择一个表示“停留”或“停留不动”的动词。选项A的“stores”表示“储存”，不符合句意；选项B的“arrives”表示“到达”，也不符合句意；选项C的“stands”表示“站立”，与句意不符；而选项D的“stays”表示“停留”，符合句意。因此，正确答案是D。

参考答案：In my opinion, it's difficult for them to cover up the truth.
解析：【喵呜刷题小u解析】：
