7、峰”；fades意为“逐渐消退”。综合分析各选项，只有peaks符合题意，故选C。2单选题第2题答案是_.A.alternativelyB.formallyC.accidentallyD.generally正确答案：D参考解析：考查副词辨析+上下文语境。根据上一道题目的分析，不难得出空格处应该是对这种普遍现象的修饰。alternatively意为“要不然，或者(二者择其一)”；formally意为“正式地正规地”：accidentally意为“偶然地”；9enerally意为“普遍地”。综合分析各选项，只有generally符合句意，故选D。3单选题第3题答案是_.A.whileB.since

8、C.onceD.until正确答案：A参考解析：考查句内逻辑关系。空格处所在句子是以转折词But开头，句意：但是_，衰老是不可避免的，但科学家们发现，大脑功能的某些变化可能并非如此。while意为“虽然”；since意为“因为；当时”；0nce意为“一旦”；until意为“直到”。衰老和科学家的发现是对立的观点，所以while符合句意，故选A。4单选题第4题答案是_.A.detectionB.accumulationC.consumptionD.separation正确答案：B参考解析：考查名词辨析+句内逻辑关系。并列连词and将空格处与前文muscle loss并列，形成前后近义词的关系，那

9、么空格处要选择一个与肌肉消失表达意思相近的词。detection意为“侦查，勘察”；accumulation意为“积累，积攒，增加”；consumption意为“消耗”；separation意为“分开，分离”。综合分析各选项，只有accumulation符合句意，故选B。5单选题第5题答案是_.A.possibilityB.decisionC.goalD.requirement正确答案：A参考解析：考查名词辨析。句意：这表明生活方式因素_有助于防止或延缓这种衰退。that引导的同位语从句中句子的谓语动词前还有情态动词may表推测，这都是在说明一种不太确定的可能性，所以possibility表示

10、“可能性”符合句意。而其他选项：decision意为“决定”；goal意为“目标”；requirement意为“要求”，均不符合要求。6单选题第6题答案是_.A.delayB.ensureC.seekD.utilize正确答案：A参考解析：考查动词辨析+句内逻辑关系。并列连词or将空格处和前文prevent构成近义词的关系，delay意为“延缓”，和prevent“阻止”是相近表达，符合句意。而其他选项：ensure意为“确保”；seek意为“寻求，请求”；utilize意为“利用，使用”，均不符合要求。7单选题第7题答案是_.A.modifiedB.supportedC.includedD.

11、predicted正确答案：C参考解析：考查动词辨析。根据题干和选项特点不难看出句中that引导的是一个定语从句，从句列举了data的具体分类和实验人群，所以定语从句是在具体说明data的内容，included意为“包含，包括”符合句意。而其他选项：modified意为“改变”；supported意为“支持”；predicted意为“预测”，均不符合要求。8单选题第8题答案是_.A.devotedB.comparedC.convertedD.applied正确答案：B参考解析：考查动词短语词义搭配和辨析+上下文语境。句意：并将这些数据与六年来报告的流体智力变化进行了_ 。compare A t

12、o B意为“将A和B进行比较”；convert A to B意为“将A转变成B”；apply A to B意为“将A应用于B”。后文是在进行不同情况的比较来得出答案，所以只有compare符合句意，故选B。9单选题第9题答案是_.A.withB.aboveC.byD.against正确答案：A参考解析：考查介词。介词短语部分为后置定语，对前面的middle-aged people进行修饰，只有with能体现的是某种状态，指的是腹部脂肪含量较高的中年人。10单选题第10题答案是_.A.livedB.managedC.scoredD.played正确答案：C参考解析：考查动词辨析+上下文语境。空格

13、处所在句子指出：腹部脂肪含量较高的中年人在流体智力方面 _也越来越低。lived意为“生存，活着”；managed意为“完成”；scored意为“得分”；played意为“表现”。综合分析各选项，只有scored符合句意，故选C。11单选题第11题答案是_.A.ran outB.set offC.drew inD.went by正确答案：D参考解析：考查动词短语辨析。ran out意为“耗尽，放弃”；set off意为“出发，动身，启程”；drew in意为“吸引，拉入”；“went by”意为“(时间的)流逝，消逝”。as the years went by意为“随着时间的流逝”，符合题意，

14、故选D。12单选题第12题答案是_.A.superiorB.attributableC.parallelD.resistant正确答案：B参考解析：考查形容词辨析+上下文逻辑关系。空格处所在句子用分号隔开，分号代表前后两句话讨论的是一个问题，有可能相同也有可能相反。分号前说免疫系统对于女性来说的作用，后文是用男性来进行比较，说免疫系统对于男性的变化没什么作用。前后是相反的观点，所以免疫系统对女性是有影响的。superior to意为“优于，胜于”；attributable to意为“归因于”；parallel to意为“平行于，与平等”；resistant to意为“抵抗”。综合分析各选项，只

15、有attributable符合句意，故选B。13单选题第13题答案是_.A.restoredB.isolatedC.involvedD.controlled正确答案：C参考解析：考查非谓语动词词义辨析。空格处所在句子是在表达对于男性而言，免疫系统没有对其产生影响，did not appear to be involved，意为“似乎不涉及在内”，符合题意。而其他选项：restored意为“恢复，修复”；isolated意为“隔离”；controlled意为“控制”，均不符合要求。14单选题第14题答案是_.A.alterB.spreadC.removeD.explain正确答案：D参考解析：考

18、.countD.take正确答案：D参考解析：考查定语从句+短语搭配。本句中，“you can”的前面省略了定语从句关系词that，从句修饰steps，take steps to do短语表示采取措施做某事，故take符合题意。而其他选项：change意为“改变”；watch意为“注意，观察”；count意为“数数”，均不符合要求。18单选题第18题答案是_.A.well-beingB.processC.formationD.coordination正确答案：A参考解析：考查固定短语搭配。physical and mental well-being意为“身心健康”，故选A。而其他选项：proc

23、rom Lincolnshire have to subsidise the daily commute of a stockbroker from Surrey? Equally,there is a sense that the travails of commuters in the South East, many of whom will face among the biggest rises, have received too much attention compared to those who must endure the relatively poor infrast

24、ructure of the Midlands and the North.However, over the past 12 months, those commuters have also experienced some of the worst rail strikes in years.It is all very well train operators trumpeting the improvements they are making to the network, but passengers should be able to expect a basic level

32、汽车司机必须补贴一个从萨里郡来的股票经纪人每天的通勤费用?由此可知，一般纳税人对应的是领养老金的汽车司机，使用铁路网的人对应的是股票经纪人，故选B。23单选题It is indicated in Paragraph 3 that train operators_.A.are offering compensation to commuters.B.are trying to repair relations with the unions.C.have failed to provide an adequate service.D.have suffered huge losses owing

39、od and medicine to substantially reduce severe growth problems among children.But CCT programs dont generally consider effects on the environment.In fact, poverty alleviation and environmental protection are oiten viewed as conflicting goals,says Paul Ferraro, an economist at Johns Hopkins Universit

40、y.Thats because economic growth can be correlated with environmental degradation, while protecting the environment is sometimes correlated with greater poverty.However, those correlations dont prove cause and effect.The only previous study analyzing causality,based on an area in Mexico that had inst

41、ituted CCTs, supported the traditional view.There,as people got more money, some of them may have more cleared land for cattle to raise for meat, Ferraro says.Such programs do not have to negatively affect the environment, though.Ferraro wanted to see if Indonesias poverty-alleviation program was af

42、fecting deforestation. Indonesia has the third-largest area of tropical forest in the world and one of the highest deforestation rates.Ferraro analyzed satellite data showing annual forest loss from 2008 to 2012including during Indonesias phase-in of the antipoverty programin 7,468 forested villages

43、 across 15 provinces and multiple islands.The duo separated the effects of the CCT program on forest loss. With that,We see that the program is associated with a 30 percent reduction in deforestation, Ferraro says.Thats likely because the rural poor are using the money as makeshift insurance policie

44、s against inclement weather, Ferraro says.Typically, if rains are delayed, people may clear land to plant more rice to supplement their harvests. With the CCTs,individuals instead can use the money to supplement their harvests.Whether this research translates elsewhere is anybodys guess.Ferraro sugg

46、ys, the value of the avoided deforestation just for carbon dioxide emissions alone is more than the program costs.26单选题According to the first two paragraphs, CCT programs aim to_.A.facilitate healthcare reform.B.help poor families get better off.C.improve local education systems.D.lower deforestatio

47、n rates.正确答案：B参考解析：根据题干关键信息CCT programs和aim to可以定位到原文第二段。该段第二句提到“Called conditional cash transfers or CCTs，these social assistance programs are designed toreduce inequality and break the cycle of poverty”，即这些社会援助项目被称为有条件现金转移(CCTs)，旨在减少不平等，打破贫困循环。由此可知，CCT项目有两个目的：一是减少不平等，二是改善贫困，B项是对第一个目的的同义改写，即帮助贫困家庭改善现状，故选B。27单选题The study based on an area in Mexico is cited to show that_.A.cattle rai
