why is the native language learnt so well
how does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well? when we compare them with adults learning a foreign language, we often find this interesting fact. a little child without knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language. a grown-up person with fully developed mental powers, in most case, may end up with a faulty and inexact command. what accounts for this difference?
despite other explanations, the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself, partly in the behavior of the people around him. in the first place, the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all, namely, the first years of life. a child hears it spoken from morning till night and, what is more important, always in its genuine form, with the right pronunciation, right intonation, right use of words and right structure. he drinks in all the words and expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-bubbling spring. there is no resistance: there is perfect assimilation.
then the child has, as it were, private lessons all the year round, while an adult language-student has each week a limited number of hours, which he generally shares with others. the child has another advantage: he hears the language in all possible situations, always accompanied by the right kind of gestures and facial expressions. here there is nothing unnatural, such as is often found in language lessons in schools, when one talks about ice and snow in june or scorching heat in january. and what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him. again and again, when his attempts at speech are successful, his desires are understood and fulfilled.
finally, though a child’s " teachers " may not have been trained in language teaching, their relations with him are always close and personal. they take great pains to make their lessons easy.
1. compared with adults learning a foreign language, children learn their native language with ease.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
2. adults’ knowledge and mental powers hinder their complete mastery of a foreign language.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
3. the reason why children learn their mother tongue so well lies solely in their environment of learning.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
4. plenty of practice in listening during the first years of life partly ensures children’s success of learning their mother tongue.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
5. a child learning his native language has the advantage of having private lessons all the year round.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
6. gestures and facial expressions may assist a child in mastering his native language.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
7. so far as language teaching is concerned, the teacher’s close personal relationship with the student is more important than the professional language teaching training he has received.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned

hurricanes (龍捲風)
did you know that before 1950, hurricanes had no names? they were simply given numbers. the first names were simply alpha, bravo, charlie, etc. but in 1953, females names were given because of the unpredictability (不可預知) factor of the storms. in 1979, realizing the sexist (性別歧視的) nature of such names, the lists were expanded to include both men and women.
hurricanes and typhoons (颱風) are the same things. if they form in the atlantic, we call these strong storms hurricanes, from the west indian word hurricane, meaning "big wind." and if they are pacific storms, they are called typhoons from the chinese taifun, meaning " great wind." to be classified as a hurricane, the storm must have maximum winds of at least 75 mph. these storms are big, many hundreds of miles in diameter.
hurricanes get their power from water vapor as it gives out its stored-up energy. all water vapor gives out heat as it condenses (凝結) from a gaseous state to a liquid state over fixed points on the equator (赤道). to make a hurricane, you must have extremely wet, warm air, the kind of air that can only be found in tropical region.
scientists have determined that the heat given out in the process of water condensation can be as high as 95 billion kilowatts per hour. in just one day alone, the storm can produce more energy than many industrialized nations need in an entire year! the problem is that we don’t know how to make sure such great energy work for us.
predicting the path of a hurricane is one of the most difficult tasks for forecasters. it moves at a typical speed of 15 mph. but not always. some storms may race at twice this speed, then suddenly stop and remain in the same location for several days. it can be maddening (發瘋的) if you live in a coastal area that may be hit.
the biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather satellites. with these, we can see the storms form and track them fully, from birth to death. while they can still kill people and destroy property, hurricanes will never surprise any nation again.
1. paragraph 1_________ a. a short history of naming hurricanes
b. harnessing the hurricane energy
2. paragraph 2 _________c. difficulty in forecasting the course of a hurricane
d. huge energy stored in a hurricane
3. paragraph 4__________e. forecasting a hurricane through satellite watching
f. different names for the same things
4. paragraph 5 ___________
5. both male and female names are used for hurricanes in consideration of _____________.
6. using weather satellites can ensure _____________ of hurricanes.
7. energy specialists may be interested in _____________ of hurricanes.
8. scientists cannot accurately predict the course of a hurricane due to _____________.
a. the timely (及時的) discovery
b. convenience
c. sex equality
d. its connection with humans
e. the huge power
f. its uncertainty

three years ago．the company introduced the think city two—seater car and a golf cart called the think, or think neighbor．it hoped to sell 5，000 cars each year and 10，000 carts．but a lack of demand means only about l，000 of the cars have been produced，and less than 1。700 carts have been sold so far in 2002．

the first four minutes
when do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? during their first four minutes together, according to a book by dr. leonard zunin. in his book, "contact: the first four minutes," he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships: __1__. a lot of people’s whole lives would change if they did just that.
you may have noticed that average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he as just met.__2__. if anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much.
when we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. in general, he says, "people like people who like themselves."
on the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. it is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his won needs, fears, and hopes.
hearing such advice, one might say, "but i’m not a friendly, self-confident person. that’s not my nature. it would be dishonest for me to at that way."
__3__. we can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "it is like getting used to a new car. it may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one."
but isn’t it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don’t actually feel that way? perhaps, but according to dr. zunin, "total honest" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. there is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. that is not the time to complain about one’s health or to mention faults one finds in other people. it is not the time to tell the whole truth about one’s opinions and impressions.
__4__. for a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. dr. zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. if there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.
the author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. __5__ that is at least as important as how much we know.
a. in reply, dr. zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.
b. much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.
c. in his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.
d. every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes.
e. he keeps looking over the other person’s shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.
f. he is eager to make friends with everyone.

答案及解析
第一部分：辭彙選擇（第1-15題，每題1分，共15分）
下面共有15句子，每個句子均有一個詞或短語劃有底橫線，請從每個句子後面所給的四個選項中選擇一個與劃線部分意義最相近的詞或短語。答案一律塗在答題卡相應的位置上。
1 b。劃線詞和四個被選項這5個動詞都是c級應該掌握的常見辭彙。其中除a以外，其餘的被選項都可以跟動名詞結構：quit doing.. = cease doing../停止..., continue doing../繼續.., keep doing../一直…。該句的含義是“我們得要求他們停止說法以便所有在場的人都能清楚地聽見我們的聲音。”
2． d。分析：在該句中yield 是用作名詞（因為該詞的前面有不定冠詞a），分析：抓住句子中與劃線部分相關的結構或用詞特點：能與不定冠詞a搭配使用的被選項只有c和d（氣候，傾向， 風氣，如：a mild climate溫和的氣候）。再藉助句子中其他特徵詞：farm，判斷harvest“收成”是答案。該句含義是“這一年中他們的收成要比數英里以外的其他任何農場的收成都好得多。”yield: vt, vi出產, （常與to連用）放棄；投降；讓步 n. 產量；收成
3．a。分析：劃線短語是動詞短語，對於該短語的語義有兩種查找方法：1。利用動詞do，直接在字典中查找do away with 這個短語的語義。不難得出該短語的語義是“去掉”，所以a是答案；2。利用該短語中的詞義推測：away是“離開”，而備選項中： set up是“建立”， repair是“修理”， paint 是“油漆, 描繪”，都與“離開”無關，所以只有get rid of是答案。該句句意是“這座城市已經決定把位於市中心的所有的舊的建築物都廢棄掉。”
4．c. 分析：根據畫線詞的家族詞（drama）的本義和與畫線詞搭配的結構的含義（“變化”），判斷c是答案。該句含義是“在過去的十年中，在國際形式方面已經出現了顯著的變化。”striking: adj. 引人注意的；顯著的；dramatic: adj. 戲劇的；有關戲劇的; 引人注目的。
5. d。分析：根據構詞法：劃線詞的前部分是 damage（破壞），即damaging是動詞damage的分詞，所以推測該詞義大概是“破壞的” 。而備選答案都是常見辭彙，其中只有harmful是“破壞的”，因此可以推斷harmful是答案。該句含義是“從經濟大蕭條以後，美國政府一直在（採取措施）使農民避免遭受到由於糧食價格的下降而帶來的損失”。
6． b。分析：seldom是常見辭彙，該詞義是“很少地” 。而備選答案中rarely也是常見的否定副詞，是“很少地”。該句含義是“水泥在中世紀的建築中很少使用。”
7．b。分析：steady 和stable是近義詞，都可表示“穩定的”， 所以可以相互排除掉。再根據構詞法：plentiful = plenti(y) + ful 判斷b的含義是“大量的”。藉助句意“在這個國家裡有大量的廉價勞動力”判斷b最合適。
8．d。分析：crucial“至關緊要的”和 urgent“緊急的”含義最接近。該句句意是“任何經濟體系所面臨的最至關緊要的的問題是如何使用它稀少的資源”。puzzling adj.(使)迷惑的, (使)為難的； terrifying adj.使感到恐怖的;
9. b. 分析：根據句意（我們主要從書本上獲得知識）判斷b（獲得）是答案。deprive vt.剝奪, 使喪失； descend vi.下來, 下降； trace n.痕跡, 蹤跡, 微量vt.描繪,追蹤
10．c．分析：該句含義是“我們都認為他是一個個性很活躍的人。”dynamic adj.動力的,動態的，生氣勃勃的； active adj.積極的,現行的, 活動的, 活躍的；doubtful adj.可疑的, 不確的； easy adj.容易的, 舒適的, 寬裕的, 從容的adv.不費力的, 輕鬆
11． a。 分析：根據劃線詞後的介詞搭配（with）判斷答案a。furnish..with..= supply/provide..with../給..提供..； gather n.集合, 聚集vi.集合, 聚集vt.使聚集； grasp
vt./ n.抓住,掌握, 領會；該句含義是“這個房間配備了最基本的物品：一張床，一把椅子，和一張桌子。”
12． b。 分析：藉助句意（當地的政府決定把兩家公司合併成一家公司）判斷b（（使）聯合）是答案。motivate v.激發； compact adj.緊湊的, 緊密的, 簡潔的； nominate vt.提名, 推薦, 任命
13． b。 分析：該句含義是“他強調要制定出一個能夠被雙方都接受的可行計畫” 。
feasible adj.可行的, 切實可行的； favorable adj.贊成的, 有利的, 讚許的；genuine adj.真實的, 真正的
14． c。 分析：depart vi.離開, 起程， 該詞和c是近義詞。pull out v.拔出, 離開； pull up
v.拔起, 停下； pull down v.摧毀, 推翻, 使降低； pull in v.進站, 靠岸
15． d。 分析：藉助句意（因為管理著整個公司，他有時候得夜以繼日地工作）判斷d（管理）是答案。evaluate vt.評價, 估計； adjust vt.調整, 調節, 校準； engage vt.使忙碌， 使從事於, 使參加 vi.答應, 從事
第二部分：閱讀判斷（每題1分，共七分）
閱讀下面這篇短文，短文後列出了七個句子，請根據短文的內容對每個句子作出判斷。如果該句提供的是正確信息，請在答題卡上把a塗黑；如果該句提供的是錯誤信息，請在答題卡上把b塗黑；如果該句的信息文章中沒有提及，請在答題卡上把c塗黑
解題技巧說明：
在解答閱讀判斷題，閱讀理解題，以及完成句子題時都可以考慮採用“核心詞/特徵詞定位”的方法。“核心詞”是指在出現在要求考生作出判斷的句子中的主句和從句中的主語和謂語部分的詞語/結構（如果有賓語也可考慮賓語部分的詞語/結構）。選取這些詞語/結構的時候要考慮是否這些將被選擇作為答案線索的詞語和結構是標誌“新信息”的內容，如果是，則可以選取；否者就考慮句子中其他結構中標誌“新信息”的詞語/結構。（註：“新信息”是在前面問題的內容中沒有出現過的信息）如：
問題前句：1. compared with adults learning a foreign language, children learn their native language with ease.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
2. adults’ knowledge and mental powers hinder their complete mastery of a foreign language.
新信息 新信息
在選取直接作為線索詞/結構的內容時還要注意“標誌原則”，比如在選定的“新信息內容”中“adults’ knowledge and mental powers（成年人的知識和智力水平）”由於該結構詞義的特點是很可能在文章中直接出現的結構，所以考慮採用“adults’ knowledge and mental powers”作為直接答案線索。
“特徵詞” 是指在出現在要求考生作出判斷的句子中表示“時間，人名，地名， 組織機構名”等，在文章如果出現往往很容易就會被發現的詞語/結構，因為這些結構總是以特殊的形式出現在文章中：“時間”—往往是以阿拉伯數字的形式出現；“人名，地名， 組織機構名”—往往是以單詞的首字母大寫的形式出現。
另外，要求考生作出判斷的句子中出現的修飾詞，限制詞（往往形容詞/副詞）可以直接考慮作為答案線索。在利用選出的詞語/結構作為答案線索時要注意在文章出現的與這些詞/結構含義相近的詞語/結構。
why is the native language learnt so well
1. a。問題句說“與學習外語的成年人相比，兒童學習母語很容易。”。該問題是明顯考察對事實的判斷。利用答案線索詞：adult和 children。於是我們很快在第1段的段首句中發現children， 而在隨後的一句中發現adult。研究這兩段的語義：前一句說“為什麼孩子學習他們的母語學得這么好？”，後一句接著說“當我們把孩子和學習外語的成年人比較時，我們發現了這個有趣的事實。”，依據這兩句判斷該問題句實際上是對原文中這兩個句子的總結說明。有時有的問題是考察考生的語言總結能力。
2. c。問題句說“成年人的知識和智力阻礙了他們對外語的掌握。”。該問題是也是明顯考察對事實的判斷。利用答案線索詞：mental powers。於是我們很快在第1段的第3句中發現mental powers，發現該句說“智力充分發展的成年人，在大多數的情況下，對外語的掌握是錯誤的和不準確的。”。而該句的下一句引出的是成年人和兒童在學習語言方面不同的理由（第2段的段首句），但原文中並沒提到“成年人掌握外語的能力較差的原因”，所以判斷該問題句“沒提到”。
3. b。問題句說“兒童母語學得好的原因只是因為他們的學習環境。”。該問題是也是明顯考察對事實的判斷。但很容易察覺該問題句的說法太絕對，所以判斷答案為“錯誤”。其實這道題的答案相關句我們在前一到題中已經涉及到了。文章第2段的段首句給出了由兩個partly引出的兩個理由，不是“唯一的一個理由”，所以判斷問題句“錯誤”。
4. a。問題句說“早年大量的聽力練習是兒童成功地學習母語的一個原因。”。利用答案線索詞：the first years of life。於是我們很快在第2段的第2句中發現相關句。該句說“早年學習母語的時間是最有益的。”。接下來的一句突出的說明了兒童期聽力練習的形式。所以判斷該問題句的說法“正確”。
5． b。問題句說“兒童學習母語的優勢是可以常年上私人輔導課。”。藉助常識判斷該句的說法不正確。利用答案線索詞：all the year round。於是我們很快在第3段的第1句中發現直接相關句。比較原句和問題句的結構，發現不同之處在於“as it were”的結構。當心：部分結構的差異往往是設定了陷阱。 實際上，as it were的含義是“仿佛是”。所以原文說“仿佛是”，而問題句說“是”，所以判斷問題句“不正確”。
6. a。問題句說“手勢和面部表情可能會對兒童掌握母語有幫助。”。利用答案線索詞：gestures and facial expressions。於是我們很快在第3段的第2句中發現直接相關句。該句說“兒童學習母語的另一個優勢是可以接觸各種情景的母語，而且母語中還伴隨了正確的手勢和面部表情。”。可見原句的說法與問題句一致，所以判斷問題句“正確”。
7． c。問題句說“就語言教學而言，教師與學生的親密關係比學生接受的專門培訓更重要。”。利用答案線索詞：teachers。文章的最後一段提到了“教師”，但只是說“教師與學生的關係是親密的”，而問題句的說法並不與原文矛盾，所以判斷該問題句“沒提到”。
第三部分：概括大意與完成句子 （每題1分，共8分）
閱讀下面這篇短文，短文後有2項測試任務：（1）1---4 題要求從所給的6個選項中為第2--5 段每段選擇1個正確的小標題；（2）第5--8題要求從所給的6個選項中選擇4個正確的選項，分別完成每個句子。請將答案塗在答題卡相應的位置上。
概括大意題解題思路：
1． 如果段首句和或段尾句是觀點句，可藉助段首句和或段尾句的句意判斷答案；
2． 藉助段落中反覆出現的核心詞/核心結構判斷答案；
3． 如果段落中有舉例的內容，可參考舉例內容判斷答案；
4． 注意段落中出現的觀點句（觀點句中有時出現這樣的一些結構： to sum up (adv.總之, 總而言之); in a word (adv.總之), in conclusion （adv.最後, 總之）等或內容上提到“..研究發現..”， “.某某研究者發現..”），轉折句（往往句子中出現“but, however, although, though, nevertheless”等詞），因為這些句子可能就是段落的中心句，可參考這些句子句意
判斷答案。
hurricanes (龍捲風)
1．a．該段中names反覆出現，所以names是文章中的核心詞，藉助段首句和段未句的句意判斷答案為a。
2．f．除了選項f以外，其餘選項中的核心詞（如：harness, forecast, store, satellite）在文章中均沒有出現。
3．d．該段落中“能量”一詞頻繁出現，所以該詞是該段的中心詞，藉助此可以判斷答案為d和b為可能答案。再藉助段首句和段未句的句意判斷答案為d。
4．c．段首句中就出現了“困難，預測”，所以被選項中c和e可能是答案選項，而e中的“衛星”在該段落中根本沒有出現，所以判斷c是答案。
5．c．依靠原文（利用(male,female) names作為答案線索詞）中第一段的最後一句判斷答案為c（與性別有關）。
6．a．該題可直接藉助搭配句意判斷答案。也可藉助原文（satellite作為答案線索詞：第6段第2句）確認答案。
the biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather satellites. with these, we can see the storms form and track them fully, from birth to death.
7．e．可直接藉助搭配句意確認答案範圍為e和f。可以先把這道題放一放。
8．f．藉助原文中的（scientist和predict作為答案線索詞）第3句確認答案為f。這樣第7題的答案就為e。
第四部分：閱讀理解（每題3分，共45分）
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文後有5道題，每道題後面有4個選項。請仔細閱讀短文並根據短文回答其後面的問題，從4個選項中選擇1個最佳答案塗在答題卡相應的位置上。
第1篇
medical journals
1. b．分析：細節題。問題問及“醫療雜誌的主要讀者”，藉助題乾中的main readers作為答案線索，這樣發現答案相關句：medical journals are publications that report medical information to physicians and other health professionals．（該句間接的回答了問題—向內科醫生和其他健康專家提供醫療信息，所以答案是b。）
2． c．分析：細節題。發現被選項在內容上都是涉及到“醫療雜誌的出版”，所以藉助publish作為答案線索，這樣發現答案相關句：many medical journals now have web sites on the internet（該句與a內容一致），and some journals publish only online．（該句直接與c矛盾）a few medical journals，like the journal of the american medical association，are considered general medical journals because they cover many fields of medicine．（該句與b內容一致）most medical journals are specialty journals that focus on a particular area of medicine．（該句與d內容一致）
3. a． 分析：細節題。該題涉及到文章類型。注意文章中提及文章類型的句子。這樣發現答案相關句：medical journals publish many types of articles．research articles report the results of …review articles summarize and analyze ..．case conferences and case reports may be published in medical journals ..editorials provide perspective on ..．letters to the editor provide a way for readers of ..
4. b．分析：細節題。利用題乾中的核心結構different studies on the same topic作為答案線索，這樣找到答案相關句：review articles summarize and analyze the information available on a specific topic based on a careful search of the medical literature．（該句說“綜述文章是在對醫學文獻進行了仔細的查詢後找出的有關某一具體主題的信息進行匯總和分析”）because the results of individual research studies can be affected by many factors，combining results from different studies on the same topic （“對於同一主題的不同研究結果的匯總”在含義上與上句“綜述文章”的目的一致，因此判斷b是答案。）can be helpful in reaching conclusions about the scientific evidence for preventing，diagnosing or treating a particular disease．
5． c． 分析：藉助題乾中的核心結構letters to the editor和express comments on作為答案線索，這樣在文章最後部分找到答案相關句：letters to the editor provide a way for readers of the medical journal to express comments， questions or criticisms about articles published in that journal。（該句內容直接回答了問題：對雜誌上發表的文章進行評論，提出問題或提出批評意見）
第2篇
ford abandons electric vehicles
1．c 第一段第一個句子告訴我們福特汽車公司放棄了電動汽車，第二段說通用汽車公
司和本田汽車公司停止生產電動汽車。
2．b 第四段第一個句子是tim holmes對電動汽車未來的評價，他認為未來的交通運輸
的大眾市場不可能是電動汽車。
3．a 答案的依據是第六段最後一句。
4．c 答案的依據是倒數第二段第二句.
5. d 答案的依據是文章的最後一句：the legislation will be written to allow for low-emission, rather than zero-emission, vehicles.
第3篇

1． c 從文章的第三、六段分別可以看出，在美國，70％的死亡是由慢性病造成的，絕
大多數醫療費用也花在慢性病的治療上，而不健康的生活方式會引發慢性病，而不是
慢性病引發不健康的生活方式。慢性病很大程度上是可以預防的。
2． d 從文章的第二、四段可以排除a、b和c三個選項。
3． b 從文章的第三、六、七段可以看出，慢性病的治療花費極高。適當投資於疾病的
預防可以大大減少這種花費。 ’
4． a 從文章第一段可以看出，該項目的主要目的是促進疾病的預防。
5． d 從文章的最後一段可以看出，早期癌症檢查有助於大大提高癌症存活率，即大大
降低癌症死亡率。
第五部分：補全短文（每題2分，共10分）
閱讀下面的短文，文章中有5處空白，文章後有6組文字，請根據文章的內容選擇5組文字，將其分別放會文章原有位置，以恢復文章原貌。請將答案塗在答題卡相應的位置。
補全短文解題常用思路：
1． 藉助空格前後句句意進行判斷；
2． 如果空格所在的段落的段首句是觀點句，可藉助段首句的句意進行判斷；
3． 藉助空格前後句中的核心詞/核心結構與被選項中用詞的呼應進行判斷；
4． 藉助被選項中出現的邏輯詞（邏輯連詞，邏輯副詞）判斷空格前句可能的語意。
5． 藉助被選項中出現的人稱代詞，指示代詞，定冠詞結構在空格前句中尋找相呼應的內容，判斷答案。
6． 藉助空格在段落中出現的位置猜測空格處的句子可能是具有的語意功能：在段首句/出現的句子可能是觀點句/總結句/概括句；在段尾句中出現的句子可能是觀點句/總結句/概括句/承上啟下句；在文章最後一句中出現的句子往往是觀點句或中心引申句。
7． 觀點句，舉例句，語意轉折句, 因果句等常常是考察點。
the first four minutes
1. d． 分析：空格前後句中出現了代詞的呼應-- this advice--- that， 結合空格後句意（如果他們那樣做的話，很多人的整個生活都會發生改變）判斷that指代的內容是前句中提到的“這條建議”，所以判斷空格處出現表意為“建議”的句子可能性最大，結合被選項的內容和用詞判斷d是答案。
2．e．分析：後句中的句意在對具體細節進行描述，句子中代詞this的出現，暗示前句中出現的this指代的內容，而且該內容應該讓你不高興， 因此判斷e（他的目光不斷地越過對方的肩膀，好象希望在房間的另一個角落裡找到讓他更感到有趣的某個人）是答案。
3 a。分析：空格後句中出現了代詞we，而被選項中只有a和c中有代詞與we呼應。但a中還有changing our social habits與空格後句中的 become accustomed to any changes在語意上呼應，所以答案是a。
4． b。分析：前文中出現了“關於如何‘對待陌生人’的描述”，而且在下文中提到了“家庭成員（husband and wife or a parent and child）”，因此判斷b是答案。
5 c。 分析：後句中的代詞we在c中才有呼應的代詞，而且在文章最後出現觀點句是通常論述文的發展特點，因此判斷c正確。
第六部分：完型填空 （每題1分，共15分）
閱讀下面的短文，文中有15處空白，每處空白給出了4個選項，請根據短文的內容從4個選項中選擇1個最佳答案，並塗在答題卡相應的位置上。
完型填空解題思路：
1． 藉助被選項的特點縮小答案範圍，確認答案判斷方向；
2． 藉助空格兩端的搭配結構特點判斷答案；
3． 藉助空格所在句子中用詞特點猜測答案；
4． 藉助空格所在句子句意判斷答案；
5． 圍繞文章中心（標題反應內容）猜測答案；
6． 藉助上下文用詞/語意判斷答案；
one good reason to let smallpox live
1. a。分析：被選項是介詞，注意搭配結構。in reality“實際上，事實上”是固定搭配使用的說法。
2． b。 分析：藉助被選項的特點： know = be aware，排除a和d，再藉助搭配結構（..是天真的）判斷b（想像）是答案。
3． c。 分析：1et跟原形動詞，go符合這一原則。
4. d。分析：根據搭配結構--..小瓶，判斷d最合適（而且該句和前句中都沒有出現比較的含義）
5． a。分析：該句結構是“句子+短語結構”，因此空格5處的連詞必須能引導一個獨立的句子，這樣判斷只有a合適（其他選項都只能引導從句結構）
6． b。分析：藉助被選項的特點b和c相關，用法不同，重點注意，再藉助空格後是名詞性結構這個特點判斷b合適。
7．c．分析：藉助被選項的特點a和c有關係：前者是“尋找”，後者是“找到”，重點注意。藉助該句子主幹結構大意：“現在美國研究者已經..，開啟了...”，這樣判斷c（找到）合適。
8．d．分析：藉助被選項的特點：method 的習慣搭配介詞是of，因此排除a； b和c都是具體指代“街道”，而 way可以抽象和具體的指代“道路”，判斷d合適。open the way v.為...創造條件； clear the way v.掃清道路, 讓路；on the way to在...途中；find one’s way out 找到某人出去的路；尋找解決方法
9． a。分析：該句的結構與標題的結構一致，因此藉助標題內容直接判斷a（保留/保存）是答案。
10．b．分析：藉助搭配結構“in..判斷a，b和d是答案”，再根據空格後是一個句子的特點判斷b（in case conj.萬一）是答案。
11． c. 分析：藉助搭配“.. with”直接判斷c是答案。
tackle vt 應付(難事等), 處理, 解決
12． d。分析：藉助下文句子是在教人們怎樣做（祈使句結構），因此判斷d是答案。
13． a。 分析：被選項是介詞，所以注意搭配結構：keep...in a .. laboratory; .. international auspices（贊助），根據介詞的基本含義和用法判斷a（under prep.在...之下, 在...領導下）是答案。
14． b。 分析：因為空格是作謂語，而句子主語是“非人”，所以a，c 和d都不行（這些詞的主語往往都是是“人”）。
15． c。分析：首先藉助後面主句中的代詞it判斷前面的the virus應該是單數，而且狀語從句結構中只能用一般時態來表示將來，所以判斷c是答案。
