21、子邮件中说谎的两倍。the first/second/. (n.) to do 是固定搭配，常用不定式作后置定语，修饰序数词或有序数词修饰的名词， 表示“第一个/二个/做某事的”，句中用不定式to compare修饰The first study。故填to compare。【2题详解】考查同位语从句。句意：事实上，电子邮件会被自动记录，而且可能会回来困扰你，似乎是这一发现的关键。分析句子可知，“2emails are automatically recorded”是名词fact的同位语从句，对其内容进行解释说明，从句成分和句意完整，应用连词that引导该从句。故填that。【3题详解】考查定语
22、从句。句意：伊萨卡康奈尔大学的杰夫汉考克要求80名学生记录一周的交流日记，记录他们超过10分钟的对话或电子邮件交流的次数，并坦白自己说了多少谎。结合句意，分析句子结构可知，此处包含一个定语从句，修饰先行词a communication diary，先行词在定语从句中表示“在交流日记中”，充当“模糊地点”，应用关系副词where引导该定语从句。故填where。【4题详解】考查冠词。句意：他发现，在电子邮件中，说谎占14%，即时信息占21%，面对面交流占27%，电话中说谎达到37%，这一比例惊人。根据句意和形容词astonishing可知，此处表示“一项惊人的比例”，应用不定冠词修饰名词perce
23、nt，又因astonishing读音以元音音素开头，用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。【5题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他的研究结果将于下个月在奥地利维也纳举行的人机交互会议上发表，这让心理学家感到惊讶。分析句子可知，已有谓语动词have surprised，present应用非谓语动词，结合句意中的“下个月”可知，此处应用动词不定式表将来，作名词results的后置定语，又因为present与逻辑主语his results之间为被动关系，所以此处用动词不定式的被动式to be done。故填to be presented.【6题详解】考查原因状语从句。句意：一些人认为电子邮件是最大的说谎者，因为
24、欺骗会让人不舒服，电子邮件的非直接接触特点会让说谎更容易。分析句子可知“that6deception makes people uncomfortable, the detachment (非直接接触) of emailing would make it easier to lie.”是宾语从句，该宾语从句本身也是主从复合句，“deception makes people uncomfortable”是“the detachment (非直接接触) of emailing would make it easier to lie.”的原因，应用从属连词because或since引导该原因状语从句
25、。故填because或since。【7题详解】考查代词。句意：另一些人则认为人们在面对面的交流中会更多地说谎，因为我们最擅长这种交流形式。根据上一句句意，即第6小题句意可知，提出了“some(一些人)”的观点，本题空处缺少主语，结合句意可知，表述的是“另一些人”的观点，所以应用代词others(另一些人)作主语，空处位于句首，首字母大写。故填Others。【8题详解】考查主语从句。句意：但汉考克说，对话是否被录音和是否可以重新阅读也至关重要。分析句子可知，此处包含一个主语从句，it作形式主语，代替后移的主语从句，结合句意和or not可知，此处应用whether(是否)引导主语从句。故填whe
26、ther。【9题详解】考查状语从句的省略。句意：人们在被要求即时回复时，也比在有时间思考如何回复时更容易撒谎。结合句意分析句子可知，此处为when引导的时间状语从句，原句为：when people are required to reply in real time than if they have time to think of a response，从句主语与主句主语相同，且含有be动词are，符合状语从句省略条件，省略主语和be动词后，保留过去分词required。故填required。【10题详解】考查时态和语态。句意：例如，电话可能是销售的最佳媒介，因为员工被鼓励夸大事实。分析句
27、子可知，空处为句子谓语动词，陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，且encourage与主语employees之间为被动关系，所以谓语动词用一般现在时的被动语态，又因主语employees为复数，be动词用are。故填are encouraged。Section B (15分)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in t
60、he passage you have just read.(A)In 1969, a ship carrying 90 passengers arrived in Antarctic waters. Since then, Antarctic tourism has increased noticeably. Nowadays, over 35,000 visitors a season came to the Antarctic during summer, with the intention of visiting colonies of penguins.That worries m
61、any environmentalists, who fear such quantities of people may be disturbing the penguins. However, a study published in Polar Biology by Maureen Lynch of Stony Brook University brings good news for penguins, tourists and tour-operators alike for the tourists visits are not stressing the birds at all
62、.The conventional way of deciding whether visits by tourists are stressful to the animals is to recruit a bunch of PhD students to observe those animals and make a number of behavioral observations when tourists are and are not present. This is difficult and expensive, for even PhD students need to
63、be housed and fed. Another choice is to sample the animals blood and analyze it for stress hormones. The problem with this is that catching animals to measure their hormone levels is stressful.There is, however, a third way, which is to look for stress hormones in animals droppings (排泄物). Dr. Lynch
64、knew from previous work by her partner that some stress hormones show up in penguin wastes, and that hormone concentrations in droppings went up shortly after animals were approached by human beings, and then returned to normal later. With that in mind, she decided to compare droppings from penguin
65、colonies visited by lots of tourists with those less visited.As the researchers expected, all collected samples contained related stress hormones. Contrary to their expectations, however, there were no significant differences between samples from different sites, regardless of the number of visitors
66、 those sites played host to. It seems, then, either that penguins do not worry about human visitors in the first place, or that they quickly get used to them. What is more, Dr. Lynchs method provides an easy way to monitor the situation. If a growing number of tourists put the birds under stress, it
67、 will be possible to advise tour operators to consider their business at less-visited colonies.36. What do we know about Antarctic tourism?A. It enjoyed popularity in 1969.B. It attracts visitors in all the year round.C. It allows people to see penguins.D. It had disturbed the penguins.37. The probl

What did Dr. Lynchs partner find about penguin waste?A. It contained certain stress hormones.B. It

Penguins are afraid of visitors.B. Penguins are used to visitors.C. Penguins are hardly stressed by tourists.D. Penguins are al

85、(C)The public must be able to understand the basics of science to make informed decisions. Perhaps the most dramatic example of the negative consequences of poor communication between scientists and the public is the issue of climate change, where a variety of factors has contributed to widespread m
86、istrust and misunderstanding of scientists and their research. The issue of climate change also illustrates how the public acceptance and understanding of science (or the lack of it) can influence governmental decision-making with regard to regulation, science policy and research funding.However, th
87、e importance of effective communication with a general audience is not limited to hot issues like climate change. It is also critical for issues such as the genetic basis for a particular behavior or the use of animal models because in these areas, the public understanding of science can also influe

As a result, the basic information conveyed is difficult to understand or obviously wrong.Even though scientists play a part in conveying information to journalists
91、 and ultimately the public, too often the blame for ineffective communication is placed on the side of the journalists. I believe that, at least in part, the problem lies in places other than the interaction between scientists and members of the media. It exists because we underestimate how difficul

98、rnmental decision-making with regard to regulation, science policy and research funding(候变化问题还表明，公众对科学的接受和理解如何影响政府在管理、科学政策和研究资助的决策)”可知，普通民众的科学知识可以左右政策的制定。故选C项。【44题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段的“Science journalism is the main channel for the popularization of scientific information among the public.(科学新闻是向公众普及科学信息的
99、主要渠道)”和“Good science journalists are specialists in making complex topics accessible to a general audience, while sticking to scientific accuracy. (优秀的科学记者是专家，在坚持科学准确性的同时，让复杂的话题为普通观众所接受)”可知，科学家们通过媒体中介将他们的发现传递给普通民众，这也就是科学家与媒体建良好关系重要性的原因所在。故选B项。【45题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段的“Unfortunately, pieces of science jour
