Center特别是因为它提供艺术和文化活动。故 C 选项正确。BIn the 1960s,while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park,Bob Christiansen becamepuzzled about something that,oddly,had not troubled anyone before:he couldnt find the parks volcano.It hadbeen known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature-thats what accounted for all its hot springsand other steamy features.But Christiansen couldnt find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.Most of us,when we talk about volcanoes,think of the classic cone（圆锥体）shapes of a Fuji orKilimanjaro,which are created when erupting magma（岩浆）piles up.These can form remarkably quickly.In 1943,aMexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land.In one week he was the confusedowner of a cone five hundred feet high.Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and wasmore than half a mile across.Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth,all but a fewhundred of them extinct.There is,however,a second les known type of volcano that doesnt involve mountainbuilding.These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack,leaving behind a vast hole,thecaldera.Yellowstone obviously was of this second type,but Christiansen couldnt find the caldera anywhere.Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone.A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make anice blow-up fbr one of the visitors5 centers.As soon as Christiansen saw the photos,he realized why he had failedto spot the caldera;almost the whole park-2.2 million acreswas caldera.The explosion had left a hole more thanforty miles across-much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level.At some time in the past Yellowstonemust have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.【语篇简析】本篇为说明文。短文第一句”在 20 世纪60年代,在研究黄石国家公园的火山历史时，鲍勃 克里斯蒂安森对一些奇怪的事情感到困惑：他找不到公园的火山”提出话题，接着解惑：原来，这儿的火山并不是像我们大部分人想象的那种圆锥体形状的高耸的样子，而是一个巨大的洞，这个洞太大了以至于从地面上的任何地方都看不见。58.What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?A.Its complicated geographical features.B.Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.C.The mysterious history of the park.D.The exact location of the volcano.【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句 But Christiansen couldift find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.可知，他困惑的是到处看不到火山。这里转换表达成他困惑的是火山的恰切位置。故选D。59.What does the second-paragraph mainly talk about?A.The shapes of volcanoes.B.The impacts of volcanoes.C.The activities of volcanoes.D.The heights of volcanoes.【答案】A【解析】主旨大意题。本段讲述了两种形状的火山，种是通常人们所理解的由火山岩浆堆积形成的圆锥体,还有一种极具爆发力的火山，它们会在一个大裂缝中爆裂，留下个巨大的洞，故选Ao60.What does the underlined word“blow-up in the last paragraph most probably mean?A.Hot-air balloon.B.Digital camera.C.Big photograph.D.Birds view.【答案】C【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句 Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitudecameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone.A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies tothe park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up fbr one of the visitors5centers.可知,美国国家航空和宇宙航行局为测试一些新的高海拔照相机而拍摄了黄石公园的照片。一位深思熟虑的官员把其中的一些照片副本转交给了公园管理部门，认为他们可能会将其放大以供其中一个游客中心展示。故可知，此处意为将照片放大，选CoCWho cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washingmachine?Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of peoples opinions.However,they have realimpacts,as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology)revolution,represented by theInternet,has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so“yesterday“that they should tryto live on ideas.This belief in post-industrial society“has led those countries to neglect their manufacturingsector(制造业)with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly,the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved theinternational community to worry about the“digital divide,between the rich countries and the poor countries.Thishas led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment andInternet facilities.The question,however,is whether this is what the developing countries need the most.Perhapsgiving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells,extending electricity networks and makingmore affordable washing machines would have improved peoples lives more than giving every child a laptopcomputer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages,I am not saying that those things are necessarily moreimportant,but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-termcosts and benefits of alternative uses of their money.In yet another example,a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in thetechnologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a borderless world”.As a result,in the last twenty years or so,many people have come to believe that whatever change is happeningtoday is the result of great technological progress,going against which will be like trying to lum the clock back.Believing in such a world,many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations oncross-border flows of capital,labour and goods,with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies,both at thenational and the international levels,and for making the right career choices at the individual level.However,ourfascination with the latest,and our under valuation of what has already become common,can,and has,led us in allsorts of wrong directions.【语篇简析】本文属于议论文。作者一开始提出问题：谁在乎人们错误地认为互联网比洗衣机有更重要的影响？为什么人们对最近的变化印象更深刻这一点很重要？作者接着提出自己的观点：如果错误的判断仅仅是人们的意见而已，那到没有多大关系。然而，错误的判断会有实际的影响一导致稀缺资源的使用不当。然后进行具体的论述，最后得出结论：我们不应该一味盲目地追求最新科技的运用，传统的科技在今天依然占有一席之地。61.Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to.A.a lack of confidence in technology B.a slow progress in technologyC.a conflict of public opinions D.a waste of limited resources【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。根据 misjudgments 定位到第二段：It would not matter if these misjudgments were justa matter of peoples opinions.However,they have real impacts,as they result in misguided use ofscarce resources.可知：如果错误的判断仅仅是人们的意见而已,那到没有多大关系。然而,错误的判断会有实际的影响 导致稀缺资源的使用不当。其中题干中的lead to 与原文中的result in为同义替换；选项中的limited与原文中的scarce为同义替换。其他三个选项（导致缺乏科技自信/缓慢的科技发展进程/大众观点的冲突）都不符合原文意思。故选D。62.The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators shoul d.A.take peoples essential needs into account B.make their programmes attractive to peopleC.ensure that each child gets financial support D.provide more affordable internet facilities【答案】A【解析】推理判断题。第四段讲的是人们对科技的过度迷恋与观念上的误区使得他们在帮助发展中国家和贫困地区时在捐助物品上的选择错误。第四行的转折词however后提出捐赠者赠予的电脑与互联网设备并非是发展中国家最需要的,也许实用性强的产品相对于给每个孩子一台电脑更能帮助提升人们的生活水平，由第六行的more than比较关系可以排除D 选项；根据这一段主要讲的内容（捐赠者在捐赠物资上的类型选择，而不是直接捐款）可 以 排 除 C 选项；由段尾句“manydonators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costsand benefits of alternative uses of their money.可知捐赠者的捐助要考虑到人们的实际需求.故推断选项A 正确。B 选项“使得该项目更为吸引人”与题意无关。63.What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?A.Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.B.Believing that the world has become borderless.C.Ignoring the power of economic development.D.Over-emphasizing the role of international communication.【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。由第五段最后一句Believing in such a world,many governments have put an end tosome of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital,labour and goods,with poorresults.不难看出这道题的重点在于要弄清楚Believing in such a world,到底指的是什么。看本段第一句可知：对于新兴科技的迷恋已经导致人们相信，最近通信和运输科技方面的变化出现如此彻底的变革，以至于我们现在生活在一个“无国界的世界 里。因此such a world”指的就是“aborderless world”,故选B 项（是对以上这句话的同义替换）。其余三个选项（忽略/科技进步的影响/忽略了经济发展的力量/过度强调国际交流的角色作用）表里不，没有答在点子上。64.What can we learn from the passage?A.People should be encouraged to make more donations.B.Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.C.Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.D.Economic policies should follow technological trends.【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However,our fascination with the latest,and our under valuationof what has already become common,can,and has,led us in all sorts of wrong directions.“可知：对于最新科技的迷恋,加上我们对于最新流行趋势的低估，可能会并且已经做出了很多错误的决定。言下之意：我们不应该一味盲目地追求最新科技的运用,也就是B 选项所说“传统的科技在今天依然占有一席之地”。此选项也可以由第三段最后一句：This belief inpost-industrial society has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector（制造业）withnegative consequences for their economies.（这些国家忽略了传统的制造业，导致对他们经济产生了负面的影响）得到验证。根据62题的答案可以排除A 选项：人们捐钱固然很好，但是仍然需要理智判断该把钱捐到那些正确的方面上；C 选项：作出正确的职业选择对于个人的成功是关键。这是在偷换概念，对原文的曲解。因为原文的意思是：理解科技趋势对于在个体水平上做出正确的职业决定很重要（重要的是理解科技趋势，而不是做出正确的职业选择）；D 选项：经济政策应该跟随科技趋势，与 C 选项错误的原因相一致。DThe 65-year-old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimers（阿尔楚海默症）.He was losinghis memory.A software engineer by profession,Steve was a keen lover of the

觉得保存他的音乐很有价值，故选C o本题容易误选B 项（Melissa想取悦她快要死去的老父亲），其实根本目的还是为了帮助父亲保持住音乐方面的才华来对抗遗忘。66.After hearing Steves playing,Na omi.A.refused to make a comment on it B.was deeply impressed by his musicC.decided to
