A.Theparkistotallyuncivilizedbyhumans.
B.Wecandrivepersonalboatstothepark.
C.Thewolvesnearlydieoutinthispark.
D.Thenumberofwolvesissmallerthanthatofmooses.
答案:
D
推理题。
第二段第四句中的“youarelikely”与第五句中的“you'reespeciallylucky”形成对比,说明“mooses”比“wolves”更容易见到,也就是说狼的数量要少于驼鹿,故D正确。
本段第二句提到,除了岩港旅馆这个地方,其他地方并未开发,可知A错误;本段首句提及这个公园是原始的,只有游船才能到达,可以看出是不允许私自驾船前往的,故B错误;本段倒数第二句提到,灰狼在大陆已经快要灭绝,而并非指在这个岛屿上,故排除C。
2.Ifyouwanttoeatkindsoffish,whichofthefollowingplacesshouldyougetto?
A.TheRockHarborLodge.
B.ScenicScovillePoint.
C.TheRockHarborLighthouse.
D.TheEdisenFishery.
答案:
A
细节题。
第四段主要讲在EdisenFishery这个渔场可以看到古老的打鱼方式,但在本段末句提到他们的捕捞终结于。
RockHarborLodge的菜单上,说明在RockHarborLodge可以吃到各种各样的鱼,故A正确。
D只是表演打鱼的地方;从第三段可以看出,B是一个完美的野餐点,而C是渔场的所在地,故B和C均可排除。
3.WhichofthefollowingcanNOTbedoneattheinformationcenter?
A.Makingyourselvesfreefrombeingbittenbyinsects.
B.Bookingyourhotelsfortravelling.
C.Learningsomeknowledgeofthispark.
D.Enablingyourselvestoexplorefartherwithranger.
答案:
B
细节题。
倒数第三段末句提到在theinformationcenter进行预订是非常必要的,此句很容易被误解为可以在此预订房间,通过上文可知,需要预订的是和护林员一起岛上探险,故B正确。
倒数第二段提到岛上蚊蝇肆虐,所以需要一些装备保护游客免受叮咬,最后一句就提到theinformationcenter提供这些装备,可排除A;从第三段第二句中可以看出,在theinformationcenter可以学到该岛的相关历史知识,故排除C;根据倒数第三段第一句可知,D符合文意。
4.Whenisthebesttimetotakeashowerandbefreefrommosquitoes?
A.AnytimefromApr.toMay.
B.AnytimefromMaytoJune.
C.AnytimefromJulytoAug.
D.AnytimefromAug.toSept.
答案:
D
推理题。
从第二段第二句可以看出,整个公园只有RockHarborLodge这个地方才提供带有浴室的住宿,而通过最后一段我们可以看出,RockHarborLodge的开放时间为五月中旬至九月初,同时倒数第二段第三句讲明了蚊叮最活跃的时期为六月和七月初,所以可以推断出八月和九月的任何时期均可以享受沐浴又可以免受蚊叮之苦,故D正确。
5.Aboutthepark,whichofthefollowingisINCORRECT?
A.Itrainsalotduringspring.
B.Carscannotbeusedinit.
C.SomeIndianslivedinitinthepast.
D.Itisopenallaroundtheyear.
答案:
D
推理题。
从文章最后一段可以看出公园从四月中旬到十月间开放,而并非全年开放,故选D。
倒数第二段第二句提到春季的大雨给蚊蝇幼虫带来了理想的生存环境,可以看出公园春季雨水充足,可排除A;第二段提到只能通过游船到这个未开化的岛,而且文中提到的交通方式也只有步行和划船,因此判定汽车不能在此使用,故排除B;第三段倒数第二句谈到了历史上印第安人的煤矿,可以看出过去印第安人在此生活过,故排除C。

B.Americansdonothaveasecretplacetokeepfromdeathintheirlife.
C.Americansarenotgoodatdoingbusinessinthedeathmarket.
D.Thereisnosuchaplaceasa"death"marketintheUS.
答案:
A
语义题。
根据第一段第二句“...,butmanypeoplefeelthattheUnitedStatesleadstheworldwiththemosttaxes.”中的“leads”可知,美国引领税务领域,同时“haveacorneronsth.”的意思是“垄断”,所以A为正确答案。
B、C和D均是对这句话的曲解,故均排除。
7.What'stheattitudeoftheAmericanstowardsthehightaxes?
A.Takingthemeasy.
B.Tryingtoresistthem.
C.Takingthemastheirduty.
D.Complainingandprotesting.
答案:
D
态度题。
从文章第三段最后一句“Withthehighcostoftaxes,peoplearenotveryhappyonApril15,whenthefederaltaxesaredue.”和最后一段中的“Peoplealwayscomplainabouttaxes.Theyoftenprotestthat...”可以看出,美国人常常抱怨高额税务,并抗议政府乱花纳税人的钱,因此D为正确答案。
8.WhichoneisCORRECTaboutthepercentageforthefederaltaxandthestatetax?
A.Theyhavethesamepercentage.
B.Thepercentageforthestatetaxishigherthanthatforthefederaltax.
C.Thepercentageforthefederaltaxishigherthanthatforthestatetax.
D.Itisnotmentionedinthepassage.
答案:
C
细节题。
从第四段第三句“Ofcourse,thepercentageforthestatetaxislower.”可以判断出,联邦税的比例要比州税的比例大,因此选C。
9.WhichofthefollowingisINCORRECTaccordingtothepassage?
A.Excisetaxischargedoncars.
B.Thereisaunifiedstatetaxlaws.
C.Incometaxincreasesasaperson'sincomeincreases.
D.Somestateshavebothanincometaxandasalestax.
答案:
B
细节题。
从第四段末句“Thestatetaxlawsarediverseandconfusing.”可知,B与原文内容不符,故为正确答案。
A可以从第五段找到,C可以从第四段找到,D的依据也可以从第四段找到,故均排除。
10.WhichofthefollowingusagesofthetaxesisNOTmentionedinthepassage?
A.Forraisingtheirrevenues.
B.Forpublicworksandmunicipalbuildings.
C.Forpoliceandfiredepartments.
D.Forsustainingdevelopment.
答案:
D
推理题。
选项中的A“用于增加政府收入”、B“用于公共工作和市政建设”、C“用于警局和消防部门”,这三项在文章第四、五段中都可以找到。
但文中没有提到D“用于可持续发展”,所以D是正确答案。
