32、l Entomology found that in Baltimore, low-income neighborhoods bear the biggest burden: they have not only more mosquitoes but also larger ones, which often survive longer. The problem most likely is rooted in the fact that Baltimore has nearly 17,000 abandoned buildings, which are concentrated in e

35、r. Worse still, climate change could worsen the disease landscape by broadening habitats and lengthening the time every summer that mosquitoes can breed and survive.Cities may, then, need to focus more mosquito-control efforts on these areas.

But nobody empties those in or around abandoned buildings. “It is something that is fairly difficult for a city to address because its really expensive to go into private belongings and clean them up,” says Dina Fonseca, a molecular ecol

A new study in the Journal of Medical Entomology found that in Baltimore, low-income neighborhoods bear the big
42、gest burden: they have not only more mosquitoes but also larger ones, which often survive longer.可知有些地方显然比其他地方更容易受到影响。发表在医学昆虫学杂志上的一项新研究发现，在巴尔的摩，低收入社区承受着最大的负担:那里不仅有更多的蚊子，而且还有更大的蚊子，它们的寿命往往更长。由此可知，短语位于的句子意思是：在过去的50年里，美国部分地区的蚊子数量激增了10倍，这对疾病的传播产生了令人担忧的影响。故“a factor of 10”指代的是“增长率”。故选B。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中T
43、he problem most likely is rooted in the fact that Baltimore has nearly 17,000 abandoned buildings, which are concentrated in economically disadvantaged areas and serve as convenient mosquito-breeding zones.可知最可能的问题是，巴尔的摩有近1.7万栋废弃建筑，这些建筑集中在经济落后的地区，是方便蚊子滋生的地方。由此可知，疾病在巴尔的摩贫困社区的传播相对更严重，是因为更多的废弃建筑成了蚊子的栖息
44、地。故选D。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中Some cities take efforts to plant trees in low-income blocks but may actually worsen the problem: trees and bushes not only shade outdoor breeding pools but also shed leaves into the water and feed the mosquito larvae, helping them grow bigger.可知一些城市采取措施在低收入街区种植树木，但实际上可能使问题恶
45、化：树木和灌木不仅遮蔽了室外的繁殖池，而且还把叶子掉到水里，喂养蚊子的幼虫，帮助它们长得更大。由此可知，A选项“种植更多的树”这一解决方案是善意的，但可能导致相反的效果。故选A。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It is something that is fairly difficult for a city to address because its really expensive to go into private belongings and clean them up,” says Dina Fonseca, a molecular ecologist at Rutg
46、ers University. Yet if these belongings become breeding grounds not only for annoying mosquitoes but also for dangerous diseases, officials concepts may need to change.可知罗格斯大学的分子生态学家Dina Fonseca表示:“对于一个城市来说，解决这个问题相当困难，因为进入私人物品并对其进行清理的成本非常高昂。”然而，如果这些物品不仅成为讨厌的蚊子的滋生地，而且成为危险疾病的滋生地，官员们的观念可能需要改变。结合文章说明了在过

50、like a waste of time.However, after nearly three years, a series of strange thoughts began to make me anxious and unsure. Images of myself at the age of 35 began to haunt(缠扰）me in my sleep.

Push them to the limit.B Open their hearts to them.C. Try to be understanding.D. Encourage them to be friendly.
57、【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C【解析】【分析】本文是夹叙夹议文。作者三年前辍学，觉得获得了解放，有时间做自己想做的事。但三年后，决定还是重回学校，为了自己的未来去奋斗。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Common wisdom would have you believe we are the “bad kids,the future criminals, the worst sort of people.”可知，人们普遍认为辍学的孩子是“坏孩子”，是未来的罪犯。故选C项。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Best of all was the time
58、I finally had to myself. I felt liberated.I wanted to find out for myself who I was。 (最棒的是我终于有了属于自己的时间。我觉得自由了。我想知道自己是谁。)”可以推断，作者觉得辍学后最令人愉快的事情是有属于自己的时间，做自己想做的事，去进行自我发现。故选D项。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“I immediately moved out of the house and out of town, in search of a future for myself. ”和第五段中“it is here, i

And please dont push him to do something he doesnt want to do. ”可以推断，作者建议人们对于辍学的人，
60、要同情他们，要理解他们，不要逼他做他不想做的事。故选C项。【易错分析】容易排除D项Encourage them to be friendly.(鼓励他们对人友好)，文章未提及与此相关的内容；A项Push them to the limit. (限制他们)，与文章最后一段中please dont push him to do something he doesnt want to do.的语义相反；因为文章里提到be sympathetic，因此易错选B项Open their hearts to them.(向他们敞开心扉)。根据please dont push him to do someth
61、ing he doesnt want to doHell come around when hes ready.(请不要逼他做他不想做的事当他准备好了就会回头的。) 可以推断，作者是建议人们要理解辍学的人。第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Animals can provide joy and companionship (陪伴).
