58、th the thesis and the oral defense.（论文和答辩均应使用英语。）”可知，要完成哲学硕士学位论文必须要掌握英语。故选 B 项。22细节理解题。根据 Programme Information 部分的第一段“The MPhil student is required to complete aminimum of 18 units of courses,including:（哲学硕士学生必须修够最少 18 个单元的课程，包括：）”可知，该学习计划至少包含 18 个单元的课程。故选 B 项。23推理判断题。根据 Programme Information 部分的第一
59、段“The MPhil student is required to complete aminimum of 18 units of courses,including:（哲学硕士学生必须修够最少 18 个单元的课程，包括：）”及下文内容可知，文章主要是有关哲学硕士申请的具体要求，所以这篇文章针对的主要读者对象应该是想要获得哲学硕士学位的学生。故选 A 项。24-27BCBD24细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I found a pizza deliver flyer in my mailbox,and decided to simply order apizza.”（在我的邮箱里发现了一个送披
60、萨的传单，于是决定简单地订一个披萨。）可知，作者到达公寓后，首先下了一个订单。故选 B 项。25细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Once it was determined that I had provided an incorrect address”（当我确定我提供的地址是错误的时候）可知，快递迟到是因为作者提供了错误的地址。故选 C 项。26词句猜测题。根据文章第三段划线词后文“First,the delivery person apologized repeatedly for being late,then he showed me the small blue metal plate
61、 on my building with the correct address,and finally he refused toaccept payment for the pizza because he was late.”（首先，快递员为迟到多次道歉，然后他给我看了我大楼上的蓝色小金属板，上面有正确的地址，最后他拒绝接受披萨的付款，因为他迟到了。）可知，作者的“顾客愉悦”体验占据了主导地位了，所以猜测 took over 是“掌控、支配”的意思。故选 B 项。27推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Net result:one delighted customer(me),and fre
62、quent orders from CaliPizza during my two-year stay in Japan.”（最终的结果是：一个满意的顾客(我)，在我在日本的两年时间里，经常订购 Cali 披萨。）可推断，虽然快递员损失了这笔单的钱，但却因此让顾客有了良好的体验，得到了作者的喜爱，从而使得作者经常订购 Cali 披萨，即短期利益的损失可能会带来很大的回报。故选 D 项。28-31 BACB答案第 2页，共 8页28主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“These days youd be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the
63、age of15 who doesnt own a mobile phone.In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket.Practically everyonecan make and receive calls anywhere,anytime.(现在你很难在澳大利亚找到 15 岁以上的没有手机的人。事实上，很多年幼的孩子口袋里都有手机。几乎每个人都可以随时随地拨打和接听电话)”可推知，本段主要说明手机在澳大利亚广受欢迎。故选 B 项。29词句猜测题。根据划线单词的上文“Of those Australians who s
64、till have a landline(在那些仍然有固定电话的澳大利亚人中)”可知，这个调查的目标人群是仍然有固定电话的澳大利亚人；根据下文“its not reallynecessary and theyre keeping it as a security blanket 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percentkeep it in case of emergencies(固定电话并不是必须的，他们将其作为一种安全保障19%的人表示他们从未使用过固定电话，另有 13%的人保留固定电话以防紧急情况)”可知，很多人
65、认为固定电话并不是必须拥有的，有些人保留固定电话只是为了防止紧急情况。从而推知，在调查中，他们应该是承认了固定电话的非必要性。由此推知，划线单词“concede”意为“承认”。故选 A 项。30推理判断题。根据文章第四段“84 percent of Baby Boomers whove perhaps had the same home number for50 years.(婴儿潮时代中有 84%的人可能已经有 50 年相同的家庭号码了)”以及文章第五段“That said,to behonest the only people who ever ring our home phone ar
66、e our Baby Boomers parents(也就是说，老实说，唯一打过我们家电话的人是婴儿潮一代的父母)”可推知，婴儿潮时代的人一直用固定电话。故选 C 项。31推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“How attached are you to your landline?How long until they go the way ofgas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?(你有多喜欢你的座机？它们还要多久才能走上煤气路灯和早晨送牛奶的道路？)”可推知，本段使用类比的方式，使用煤气路灯以及早晨送牛奶已经被淘汰的例子，侧面说明了固定电话总
67、有一天会废弃的。故选 B 项。32-35 DDBC32推理判断题。根据第一段 Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud.But this is no rain cloud.It is a livingcloud made of billions of locusts(蝗虫)that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path.可知，非洲部分地区被乌云覆盖，但这并不是雨云，而是由数十亿只蝗虫组成的活云，它们正在穿越非洲大陆，吃掉路上的所有东西。可推知，这里是用乌
68、云来形容蝗虫的大小、速度和危害。故选 D。33主旨大意题。根据第一段 Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud.But this is no rain cloud.It is a livingcloud made of billions of locusts(蝗虫)that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path.可知，非洲部分地区被乌云覆盖，但这并不是雨云，而是由数十亿只蝗虫组成的活云，它们正在穿越非洲大陆，吃掉路上的所有东西。结合文章主要讲的是非洲西部
69、发生的严重的蝗虫灾害，而且各方面正为消灭蝗虫而做着努力。由此可知，文章主要讲述的是一场与西非蝗虫带来的灾难作斗争的故事。故选 D。答案第 3页，共 8页34细节理解题。根据第三段中“We are now treating 6,000 hectares per day with pesticide,but we need to treat20,000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster,”said Mohamed Abdallahi OuldBabah,director of locust
70、 control in Mauritania.可知毛里塔尼亚蝗虫控制中心主任 Mohamed Abdallahi OuldBabah 说：“我们现在每天要处理 6,000 公顷的蝗虫，但是我们需要每天处理 20,000 公顷的蝗虫，这样才有希望控制这场灾难。”由此可知，蝗虫灾害目前失去了控制。故选 B。35细节理解题。根据第二段中 And now in the battle to stop this disaster,a radio station in Senegal,West Africa,is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they
71、 can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts.可知，现在，在阻止这场灾难的战斗中，西非塞内加尔的一家电台向听众提供 50 公斤大米，如果他们能够捕捉并杀死 50 公斤蝗虫的话。由此可知，A 选项“苏丹南方发展联盟调频广播电台为抗击蝗虫提供奖励，以便更多的人参与这项努力”正确；根据第三段中 As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threatenSudan in the northeast of Africa.可知，随着它们的迁徙，它们会繁殖后代，数量
72、也会增加，很快就会威胁到非洲东北部的苏丹。由此可知，可知 B 选项“塞内加尔在苏丹的西南部”正确；根据最后一段中 Althoughleaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan,it is not expected to be enough.可知，尽管 12 个国家的领导人已经就一项计划达成一致，但预计这还不够。由此可知，D 选项“受蝗虫影响的 12 个国家已经联合起来，但仍然缺乏杀虫剂”正确。只有 C 选项“蝗虫能造成这样的破坏主要是因为它们在西非没有天敌”文章没有提到，C 选项错误。故选 C。36-40 BGAEC【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者通过
73、这篇文章向我们讲述了人生充满了遗憾，但可以做一些事来避免遗憾的发生。36根据上一句 Life is filled with regrets.可知，生活充满遗憾。故 B 项：Almost all of us have no difficulty tellingour regrets.(几乎所有人都能毫不费力地说出自己的遗憾。)是对上文的进一步说明，故选 B。37根据上文 If you start to do something,you need to make a plan before doing it.The earlier,the better.可知，如果你开始做某事，你需要在做之前制定一
74、个计划。越早越好。给 G 项：You will know what comes first andwhat comes last.(你也会知道你应该做什么和不应该做什么。)是早做计划的好处，符合本段文意。故选 G。38根据本段内容 You can go around more often.More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed and active.Youalso need to be kind.可知，要过更积极的生活，故选 A。39根据前文 A friend may make your life and can break your life
75、 as well.可知朋友的重要，E 项：So you haveto think twice when you choose a friend.(所以当你选择朋友时，你必须三思而后行)符合文意，故选 E。40根据前文Everybody fails.Even the greatest person failed.We should not fear failure,because failure is not theend of the road.可知，每个人都失败。即使是最伟大的人也失败过。我们不应该害怕失败，因为失败不是道答案第 4页，共 8页路的终点。故 C 项：We should tak
