Ⅲ.閱讀理解
Former Irish President Mary Robinson was just making a polite conversation with an Ethiopian(埃塞俄比亞的)teenager about her wedding day.The 16?year?old had already been married for a year.“She looked at me with the saddest eyes and said，‘I had to drop out of school’，” Ro binson said in a telep hone interview.“That conveyed to me the reality，” said Robinson，the first woman to serve as Ireland's President and former U.N.High Commissioner for Human Rights.“Her life，as far as she is concerned，had more or less ended.”
Robinson said keeping girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an ever?increasing populatio n，predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billion soon.“European countries are concerned about aging populations，but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion，” she said.“Almost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries，so that we have a very big challenge.”
Family planning experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in Sub?Saharan Africa.In May，the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100.Much of that growth will come from Africa, where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year?more than double Asia's 1 percent growth rate.If that rate stays consistent，which is not certai
n，Africa's population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion.
Joel Cohen，a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York，said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth rate regions.In addition to providing information about birth control，a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility，improve the health of their children and allow them to move from a mindset of having many children in the hope that some will survive to improve the quality of each child's life，Cohen wrote in the journal Nature.
36.In the first paragraph，the author introduces his topic by________.
A.giving an example
B.explaining his opinions
C.describing the poor education system
D.coming straight to the topic
37.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Robinson is happy after talking to the Ethiopian girl.
B.Robinson is a successful expert in population studies.
C.Robinson is worried about the population growth.
D.Robinson encourages female education.
38.What is Joel Cohen's view about secondary education?
A.It provides basic knowledge of health.
B.It reduces aging population.
C.It makes people pay more attention to education.
D.It can change people's parenting ideas.
39.According to the passage，one of the most important ways to control high population growth is to________.
A.let girls go away from AfricaB.keep girls in school
C.let young girls remain singleD.keep girls in families參考答案
Ⅰ.1.D 考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。由make predictions可以看出，動作還沒有發(fā)生，所以用將來時，演員是被獎勵的，所以用被動語態(tài)，故選D。
2.D 考查過去分詞作狀語。remind 和其邏輯主語some drivers是動賓關(guān)系，也就是說，司機(jī)是被提醒的。盡管被提醒不要酒后開車，一些司機(jī)仍然心存僥幸，這十分危險。
3.B 考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。in the past few years為現(xiàn)在完成時的標(biāo)志，主語“thousands of films”和謂語動詞“produce”為動賓關(guān)系，所以用完成式的被動語態(tài)。句意：在過去的幾年里，世界范圍內(nèi) 數(shù)千部電影被制作。
4.C still 應(yīng)該放在被修飾的形容詞前面，而enough應(yīng)放在被修飾的形容詞之后，所以選C，意為：足夠的精力充沛。
5.C 考查動名詞的用法。此處to是介詞，其后him returning為動名詞的復(fù) 合結(jié)構(gòu)。
6.C 考查名詞辨析。award 頒獎，獎賞。句意：他被提名為
最佳男演員獎的候選人。 reward 酬勞; scholarship 獎學(xué)金; result 結(jié)果。
7.A 本句為it用作形式主語的句型，真正的主語為that引導(dǎo)的主語從句。
8.B 考查副詞辨析。actually實(shí)際上; especially特別，尤其，其后可以接介詞短語; practically實(shí)際上; averagely “平均地”。句意：在城市的一些地方，特別是主要的商業(yè)區(qū)，汽車是不允許進(jìn)入的。
9.D 考查介詞短語辨析。in favour of 支持。in honour of 為了紀(jì)念;in terms of就……而言;in view of鑒于，考慮到，由于。
10.A 考查主動表被動形式。在“be + 形容詞 + to do”結(jié)構(gòu)中，其后的不定式常用主動形式。
11.B 考查狀語從句的連接詞。此處while意為：盡管。句意：盡管中國認(rèn)為人民幣匯率合理平衡，但是美國仍對元施加壓力。
12.C 考查名詞辨析。celebration 慶祝。句意：戶外慶祝因?yàn)閴奶鞖獗煌七t了。 occasion 時刻; congratulation 祝賀; challenge 挑戰(zhàn)。
13.D benefit from 從……中獲益;be awarded the first prize被授予一等獎。
14.D 考查情態(tài)動詞。句意：??他們本該更細(xì)心地準(zhǔn)備會議的。??但他們沒有這樣做。真可惜!ought to have done過去本該做某事而未做。
15.B 考查冠詞。第一空為特指“已完成的那份報告”，故用定冠詞the;第二空為抽象名詞，不填冠詞。
Ⅱ.家庭的不幸、失業(yè)的壓力和生活的窘迫并沒有讓我喪失道德，我將撿到的雨傘歸還給了它的主人。最終善有善報，我出乎意料地找到了一份銷售經(jīng)理的工作。
16.C 我沒有雨傘，因?yàn)槟前雅f傘已經(jīng)“散架”了。fall apart “破碎，散架;情緒失控;(組織)解體;(協(xié)議、關(guān)系)破裂”，符合語境。break up“(使)破碎”;go away“離開;走開”;fade away“褪色;逐漸消失”。
17.A 由于離婚和失業(yè)，我買不起另外一把傘。afford表示“買得起;能支付”。
18.B 根據(jù)第三段的開頭“I got off the bus…”可知，我在“公共汽車”上坐了下來。
19.B 本句的后半部分提到這把傘是絲質(zhì)銀柄，由此可知這是一把非�！捌恋摹眰�。
20.D 這把傘做工講究，我以前“從未”見過如此可愛的東西。
21.C 根據(jù)第25空后面的“…for the name on the umbrella.”可知，傘柄上刻有一個“名字”。
22.A 這是在公共汽車上撿到的別人丟失的東西，正常的程序是把雨傘“上交”給售票員。turn in“上交”。
23.A 我“想到”一個主意，決定自己帶著雨傘找到失主。occur to sb“(主意或想法突然)浮現(xiàn)于某人的腦海中”。
24.D 作者在傾盆大雨中下了車，由此可知作者打開這把傘遮雨時非�！案屑ぁ�。
25.B 我從電話簿上“查找”雨傘上的那個名字。search“查找，搜尋”。
26.C 我撥通電話后，一位女士“接聽”了電話。此處answer表示“接電話”。
27.A 突然有了雨傘的消息，女士自然感到非常“驚訝”。后三項(xiàng)分別表示“恐慌”“沉默”“憤怒”，顯然不符合語境。
28.B 此處add表示“補(bǔ)充說”。assume“假定”;declare“宣布，聲明”;announce“宣告，公布”。
29.A 這把傘一個月以前就被人“從”門階前偷走了。
30.B 女士如此激動以至于我當(dāng)時“忘記”了自己正在尋找工作，徑直去了那位女士的家。
31.C 女士接過這把雨傘后，眼中溢滿了“淚水”。
32.D 根據(jù)本句內(nèi)容可知，女士想給我錢作為“報酬”。
33.D 第四段提到這是女士已經(jīng)去世的父母送給她的生日禮物，由此可知這是一把非�！疤厥獾摹庇陚�。
34.B 我相信接受了她的錢就會“毀壞”某種東西。
35.D 下一句提到也許是我的善心有了回報，由此可知我“出乎意料地”得到了一份銷售經(jīng)理的工作。
Ⅲ.人口的快速增長困擾著世界。有關(guān)人士指出，控制人口快速增長的一種方式就是提高女性的受教育水平，進(jìn)而改變?nèi)藗冾^腦中固有的傳統(tǒng)生育觀念。
36.A 篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。在本段中，作者以愛爾蘭前總統(tǒng)Mary Robinson與埃塞俄比亞的一位已婚少女的交談為例引入話題，所以A項(xiàng)正確。
37.C 推理判斷題。第二段引號中的內(nèi)容提到“歐洲國家擔(dān)心出現(xiàn)人口老齡化問題，但與人口快速增長相比，這算不了什么。幾乎所有的人
口增長都發(fā)生在發(fā)展中國家，這將是一個巨大的挑戰(zhàn)�！庇纱丝赏茢嗨龘�(dān)心的是人口增長問題。
38.D 推理判斷題。由最后一段的最后一句可知，Joel Cohen在《自然》雜志中寫到中等教育可以改變?nèi)藗兊挠齼豪砟睢?BR>39.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句前半部分中的內(nèi)容可知，控制人口快速增長的最重要的方式之一是讓女孩兒上學(xué)。
