A.found

B.jailed

C.caught

D.killed

正确答案:C

答案解析:题干大意：小偷最终在离村庄两英里远的地方被抓获。句中capture的意思是“捕获，抓住”。catch与capture同义。find：发现；jail：监禁；kill：杀死。

2、Michael is now merely a good friend.【单选题】

A.largely

B.barely

C.just

D.rarely

正确答案:C

答案解析:题干大意：迈克尔现在仅仅是位好朋友。画线词merely（仅仅）与选项just同义。largely：主要地，大部分；barely：仅仅，含有“勉强够”的意思，因此不符合此处语境；rarely：很少地。故答案为C。

3、Migrant (移民的) Workers
In the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency for workers to move from one country to another. While some countries have restricted most jobs to local people, others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers. This is particularly the case in the Middle East, where increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to call in outsiders to improve local facilities. Thus the Middle East has attracted oil workers ______ the USA and Europe. It has brought in workers from many countries, including South Korea and Japan.
In view of the difficult living and working conditions in the Middle East, it is not surprising that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can earn at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they can in their own country, and this is a major attraction .
Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating (补偿的) advantage. For example, the difficult living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to depend on each other for safety and comfort. In a similar way, many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly because of the lack of entertainment facilities. The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely presents challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than do routine work in their home country.
One major problem which affects migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are temporary ones. They are nearly always on contract, so it is not easy for them to plan ahead with great confidence. This is to be expected since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent residents. In any case, migrant workers accept this disadvantage, along with others, because of the considerable financial benefits which they receive.
【单选题】

4、A Strong Greenhouse Gas
1 Methane is a colorless, odorless gas; it is also a potent greenhouse gas, and once released into the atmospheres, it absorbs beat radiating from Earth's surface. That's why methane is a major contributor to the planet's increasing temperature rise or global warming. Molecule for molecule, methane's heat-trapping power in the atmosphere is 21 times stronger than carbon dioxide, the most abundant greenhouse gas.
2 With 13 billion cows belching almost constantly around the world (100 million in the U. S. alone), it's no surprise that menace released by livestock is one of the chief sources of the gas. Other prime methane sources: petroleum, drilling, coal mining, solid-waste landfills and wetlands.
3 Greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide make up only a small part of Earth's atmosphere, which is 78 percent nitrogen and nearly 21 percent oxygen. And without greenhouse gases to trap the sun's heat and warm the planet, life as we know it couldn't exist. But in the last200 years, human activity that requires burning oil, natural gas, and coal for energy has magnified the greenhouse effect.
4 Atmospheric concentrations of methane have more than doubled in the last two centuries. Blame for this often focuses on big industries and gas-guzzling vehicles. But agriculture plays a major role, too. In the past 40 years alone, the global cattle population has doubled.
5 Cows munch mostly grasses and hay yet they grow big and hefty. Why? Because of the rumen. The rumen holds 160 liters of food and billions of microbes. These microscopic bacteria and protozoa break down cellulose and Fiber into digestible nutrients. A cow couldn't live without its microbes. As the microbes digest cellulose, trey release methane. The process occurs in all animals with a rumen (cows, sheep, and goats, for example), and it makes them very gassy. It's part of their normal digestion process. When they drew their cud, they regurgitate some food to rechew it, and all this gas comes out. The average cow expels 600 liters of methane a day.
That's why we say livestock gas is also a major factor of causing the global warming.
Paragraph 2 ____
【单选题】

A.Life of Macroscopic Bacteria in Livestock's Rumen

B.Ways to Reduce Methane's Heat-trapping Power

C.Agriculture Also Contributes to Increased Concentrations of Methane in the Atmosphere

D.Why Livestock Releases Methane

E.Methane as a Strong Greenhouse Gas

F.Livestock as a Prime Factor of the Greenhouse Effect

正确答案:F

答案解析:本段要表达的中心意思是：livestock排出的甲烷也是温室效应的一个主要源头。

5、The State of Marriage Today
Is there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, and the evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the family, according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Some futurists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times and extramarital affairs will be even more common than they are now.
But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so gloomy? The answer to the first question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. The institution of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need. Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands as they usually didn't have jobs outside the home. But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so they don't feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.
In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic as it seems. While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now cohabit and don't bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do not appear in either the marriage or divorce statistics. In fact, more than 50% of first marriages survive. The statistics are deceptive because there is a higher number of divorces in second and third marriages than in first marriages.
So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isn't. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people: they suffer less from stress and its consequences, such as heart problems, and married men generally consider themselves more contented than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and apply it to all of our relationships!
Why may the outlook of marriage not be as gloomy as it appears?【单选题】

A.Many people still like to get married.

B.The rate of divorce has actually decreased.

C.Over 50% of the marriages continue to exist.

D.The statistics of divorce is not quite true.

正确答案:A

答案解析:从第3段里可以了解到离婚率并没有下降而是上升了，因此B选项不对。而C选项与第3段里“In fact，more than 50% of first marriages survive”所说不符，该选项没有提到是第一次婚姻。同样，D选项在文中也没有说到，文中第3段的最后一句只是说统计数据具有欺骗性，而没有说数据失实。

6、One-Room Schools
One-room schools are part of the heritage of the United States, and the mention of them makes people feel a longing for "the way things were." One - room schools are an endangered species (种类), however. For more than a hundred years, one - room schools have been systematically shut down and their students were sent away to centralized schools. As recently as 1930 there were 149,000 one - room schools in the United States. By 1970 there were 1,800. Today, of the nearly 800 remaining one - room schools, more than 350 are in Nebraska. The rest are spread through a few other states that have on their road maps wide - open spaces between towns.
Now that there are hardly any left, educators are beginning to think that maybe there is something yet to be learned from one - room schools, something that served the pioneers that might serve as well today. Progressive educators have come up with new names like "peer - group teaching" and "multi - age grouping" for educational procedures that occur naturally in the one - room schools. In a one - room school the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of the time teaching someone else. The fourth grader can work at the fifth grade level in math and the third grade level in English without the bad name associated with being left back or the pressures of being skipped (超过) ahead. A youngster with a learning disability can find his or her own level without being separated from other pupils. A few hours in a small school that has only one classroom and it becomes clear why so many parents feel that one of the advantages of living in Nebraska is that their children have to go to a one - room school.
We learn from the first paragraph that one - room schools ____. 【单选题】

A.are the best in Nebraska

B.are becoming more and more centralized

C.have had a strong influence on American people

D.need to be shut down

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题有一定难度．考生需要有很强的概括能力和近义转化能力。做本题时，不要先看选项。第一段开头谈到，大教室学校已经成为美国遗产的一部分，一提到它就会使人们渴望回到过去，换句话说，这种学校对美国人影响至深，回来看选项，C项是近义解释，答案是C。

7、Some Unusual Celebrations
Some holidays are well - known all around the world. Among them are New Year's Eve Celebrations. Also days are common in honor of love and friendship, like Valentine's Day. Each country has its own special holidays too, to mark important events in its history. Schools, banks, and government offices all close on days like these. Some of the days people celebrate, however, are less serious. A few of them are really very strange.
Of course, they are not strange to the people who celebrate them. Perhaps that is because the celebrations have long traditions. Consider April Fool's Day, for example. No one knows when or why it began. Today it is celebrated in many countries－France, England, and Australia, etc. On this day, people play practical jokes. Jokes are supposed to be funny, but these jokes do not make everyone laugh. The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes. The people they fool often get angry. Does celebrating this day make sense to you?
Dyngus Day in Poland seems strange, too. On this day, it is traditional for boys to pour water over the heads of girls. Here is the strangest part: they do it to girls they like.
Other unusual celebrations take place in a single city or town. A holiday called La Tomatina is celebrated in Bunol, Spain. Every year, in late August, big trucks carry more than 200,000 pounds of tomatoes into this little town. Then begins the world's biggest food fight. For two hours, people in the streets throw tomatoes at each other. Everyone ends up red from head to toe.
August 10 marks the start of the Puck Fair, an Irish festival with a very unusual tradition. People from the town of Killorglin go up into the mountains and catch a wild goat. ____
There are also some celebrations that are really strange. In the United States, sometimes one person gets an idea for a new holiday and tries to get others to accept it. Whose idea was Public Sleeping Day? That one is on February 28. It may seem strange, but it sounds like more fun than the one on February 9. That is supposed to be Toothache Day.
Do you like the idea of inventing a new holiday? If you do, then you will want to mark March 26 on your calendar. That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.
【单选题】

A.They bring him back to town, put a crown on his head, and make him king for three days.

B.Some of the days people celebrate, however, are less serious.

C.That is supposed to be Toothache Day.

D.Then begins the world's biggest food fight.

E.Some people have fun imagining new holidays.

F.Jokes are supposed to be funny, but these jokes do not make everyone laugh.

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题有一定难度，文章此处讨论的是爱尔兰一个奇怪的节日，山羊节，回来看选项，只有A符合上下文逻辑，是答案。

8、Houses of the Future
What will houses be like after thirty years? No one really knows, but architects are trying to predict. ____
Future houses will have to be flexible. some of us will be working from home. So we will have to be able to use areas of the house for work for part of the day and for living for the rest. Families grow and change with children arriving, growing up and leaving home. The house of the future will have to grow and change with the family. Nothing will be as fixed as it is now. The house will always be changing to meet changing needs.
Everyone agrees that after 30 years we will be living in "intelligent" houses. We will be able to talk to our kitchen machines and discuss with them what to do. Like this: "We'll be having a party this weekend. What food shall we cook?" And the machine will tell us what food we will have to buy and how to cook it. We will be able to leave cooking to the machines, just tasting things from time to time to check.
The house of the future will be personal and each house will be different. You will be able to change the color of the wall easily. You won't have to paint them and you'll be able to tell the wall to change the color! And if you don't like the color today, you will be able to have a new one. The only thing you won't be able to do is move the house somewhere else!

A.You will be able to change the color of the wall easily.

F.The kids might take their bedrooms with them as they leave.

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题的难度较大。需要认真阅读文章，特别是第一段和第二段，可用排除法和代入法。本题的上文谈到了没有人会知道30年后房子是什么样子，但建筑家们正在努力地预测。开头第一句用的是疑问句，下文的第一句就谈到未来的房子要十分灵活，用的是陈述句，可以推测此处很可能继续对未来房屋进行发问来展开文章的叙述，回来看选项，可以先排除A，B，C，F项，把D，E代人文章里，可以发现，D更能符合上下文语境和逻辑，是最佳答案。

9、The policemen acted quickly because lives were at stake.【单选题】

During the past 50 years, the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, and the evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the family, according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Some futurists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times, and extramarital (婚外的) affairs will be even more common than they are now.

A.Divorce leads to the breakup of the family.

B.More than half of the married couples get divorced.

C.American people marry more than four times.
