14、s或Protestants:新教徒)与Publicans(或Catholic Christians或Catholics:天主教徒)是对立的,因此填while表示对比或对照,意为“而”。答案:while18解析:根据时间状语for several hundred years now,可以判断此处应该用完成进行时或完成时。答案:have been fighting/have fought19解析:因attempt是可数名词,此处为单数,且非特指,因此前面用不定冠词。答案:an20解析:该句的意思是:爱尔兰的北部居民以新教徒为主,南部居民以天主教徒为主,因此可以用依据宗教信仰的不同把爱尔兰分为两部分
15、的办法解决他们之间的冲突。答案:could21解析:这是there be句型,即:在爱尔兰有些地区也住着天主教徒。答案:there22解析:引导定语从句,表示问题的出处。答案:where23解析:是形容词性的物主代词,指代前面的people。答案:their24解析:用武器刺杀对方自然是不幸的事,并且此处应该用副词,因此应该填unfortunately。答案:Unfortunately25解析:此处是独立主格结构作状语,each side是动词kill的逻辑主语,并且是kill这一动作的发出者,因此用现在分词。答案:killing第二部分:阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节:阅读理解(共20小题
16、;每小题2分,满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。AIf a person throws up a coin into the air,it may land on one side,or it may land on the other.There is no sense in analyzing the result,because it is a random chance event.Nothing can be done to influence the outcome.About half the time the coin will land
17、on one side,and about half the time it will land on the other side,no matter how the coin is thrown up.In ancient times,people believed almost anything that happened to them was an intervention (干涉) by a divine (神的) power.Now,however,few cultures would believe the outcome of such an insignificant ev
18、ent as throwing up a coin to be divine intervention.Many events of life are basically events of random chance.Let us look at one example.You might be walking in Prague,and a pickpocket steals your wallet.Here are some different explanations one could give to such a misfortune.1The Fatalistic (宿命论的)
19、one,popular in Arabic countries,would be that the theft was merely your fate,and could not be avoided.I often think “fate” is the realization that many things in life are merely random chance events.It is senseless to worry that you did anything to cause this event.It just happened that a pickpocket
20、 just happened to be near you,and your wallet was the closest one for him to steal.I cannot hide my bias (偏见):I think this is probably the healthiest explanation of random chance events.2In primitive cultures or regions where certain religions commonly existed,the explanation might be that it was Go
21、ds will for your wallet to be stolen.God was punishing you for a misdeed,or trying to teach you a central truth by letting you lose this money.3And lastly there is the explanation I find increasingly common in Western societies.Any misfortune may be explained by a lack of precautions (预防措施)An interv
22、ention on someones part (usually the governments) could have prevented the theft.For example,you should not have walked in certain streets;you should have been more watchful.Or the government should have employed more policemen,or imprisoned more criminals.Misfortunes are not caused by random chance
23、,but by incomplete care or control.This latter explanation is being accepted increasingly every day.One reason must be that it comforts people to rationalize (使有合理依据)their misfortunes,especially if it makes them seem blameless.(“If there were just more policemen,my wallet would not have been stolen.
24、”) I find this last explanation amusing in one sense,and extremely harmful in another.If we cannot accept bad things ever happening to us,we must be willing to accept an unlimited expansion of laws and government intervention in our lives.语篇解读:作者认为分析抛币的结果是没有意义的,以此说是任何偶发事件都具有随意性,不是神的干涉等,不需要任何理由或解释。26
25、According to the author _.Aif you want to know the result of something you plan to do,the throwing up of a coin will be of great helpBwhether the coin lands on one side or the other,its Gods willCthe way that a coin is thrown up decides which side it will landDwhichever side a coin will land doesnt
26、affect the result of the thing one plans to do解析:细节理解题。由第一自然段中的There is no sense in analyzing the result.Nothing can be done to influence the outcome(分析抛币的结果是没有意义的而无论哪一面朝上都不会影响事情的结果)可知答案。答案:D27If someone broke into your house and took away all the valuable things,the writer most probably agrees with
27、 the idea that _.Aits because you have done something wrong and so you are punished for thatBits just something that you cant avoidCthe government is to blame for thatDyou are not careful enough to prevent it from happening解析:推理判断题。在为第三自然段所举的例子给出的三种解释中,作者倾向第一种解释,而B选项符合这种解释的观点。答案:B28According to the
28、writer,more and more people accept the third explanation because _.Aby thinking so they can be excused from blameBit is true of the factCthe government hasnt employed enough policemenDthe government doesnt take proper measures against crime解析:细节理解题。由最后一段的第2句可知。答案:A29The writer wrote this article mai
29、nly to tell us _.Apeople of different cultures have different attitudes towards a certain event that happens to or around themBpeople should hold scientific attitude towards events that happen to or around themCmany events just happen without any reasonsDwhich of the three explanations is more reaso
30、nable解析:推理判断题。第一段的第2句,表达了作者对一些偶发事情的看法;在第三和第四段中又重申了这一观点。答案:C30By saying “I find this last explanation .extremely harmful in another” the writer probably suggests that if the explanation can be accepted it means _.Apeople would not be able to walk in certain streetsBthere would be too many laws and pe
31、ople will lose much of their freedomCthere would be too many policemen in the streets or other public placesDthere would be too many criminals in prison解析:推理判断题。由最后一段的最后一句可以推知。答案:BBWhen a forest fire starts in the US and a lot of trees and wildlife are being destroyed,the country pulls together to s

34、the US can be paid by their community or just be unpaid volunteers.The professional firemen may be paid to go to another state as a good neighbor and to help educate others who arent familiar with firefighting techniques.The unpaid volunteer will get permission from their employer to go and fight a
35、fire.Most employers allow them to go and continue to pay their wages.Others allow them to take vacation days so they will still receive their wages.The expense of getting to the fire can be covered by several means.The fire company that employs firemen may pay their way,the state may volunteer trans
36、portation,bus companies or air lines may donate transportation or the people in the area will donate money to help them get to the fire site.Fire is one of the most dangerous disasters that can hit a state because it destroys homes,property,wildlife and leaves a lot of people with the need to rebuil
37、d their homes and lives.The fire in Montana had destroyed a lot of property and will need help from the federal government to deal with the loss.USA has funds (基金) set aside for disasters such as floods,fires,hurricanes,tornadoes,and earthquakes.Once you prove you need the help they will help you re

40、 Pennsylvania解析:推理判断题。根据第一自然段第1句所提供的信息可以知道这场火灾是发生在美国,因此可以排除A、B两个选项;根据第一自然段第2句所提供的信息可以知道Montana与Pennsylvania不是从属关系,因此D选项也可排除。答案:C33Which of the following is TRUE?AOnly professional firemen may be paid to go to another state to put out fire.BPeople who volunteer to put out fire in another state dont h
41、ave to pay for their transportationCThe people who volunteer to go to put out fire in another state get no pay.DPeople who volunteer to go to put out fire in another state have to sacrifice their vacation days,or they wont be allowed to go.解析:细节理解题。由第三段的最后2句可知。从第三段的4、5两句可以知道一些非专业的灭火员(即The unpaid vol
42、unteer)的老板多数都设法让他们带薪灭火,因此他们在灭火期间是照领薪水的,因此A、C、D选项均是错误的。答案:B34From the third paragraph,we can get the idea that _.AAmerica is really a rich countryBfiremen are really brave and unselfishCthe Americans are united in the face of a natural disasterDthe US government has authority (权威) over its people解析:推
43、理判断题。第三自然段讲那些志愿前去灭火的专业及非专业的消防员是如何得到各种资助的,由此可以推断出美国人面对自然灾害非常团结。答案:C35The passage mainly tells us _.Ahow the American people will act when a forest fire breaks outBhow the Montana fire was put outChow the people who suffered from the Montana fire could get helpDfire is one of the most dangerous disast
