【解析】題干中,肥胖經(jīng)常______體質(zhì)指數(shù),或稱為BMI來定義。A、in terms of ,根據(jù)……,就……而言。B、In case of 表示在某種情況下, C、in favor of 表示贊成,以……來取代,D、in respect of,關(guān)于……。因此正確答案為A。在醫(yī)學(xué)研究和臨床測試中經(jīng)常使用BMI作為衡量受試者健康的重要指標(biāo),希望考生能夠記住這一背景知識(shí),方便日后做題。
【解析】本題可以簡化為:Some … are fit, while others … may be in poor .不難看出,前后意義相反,且fit(體型健康)與in poor 對應(yīng),與之最相關(guān)是A shape(外形),故為正確答案。“精神”、“均衡”、“品味”都相差比較遠(yuǎn),可以排除。
【解析】解答此題需要聯(lián)系空格后面緊跟著的句子。空后的句子出現(xiàn)了一系列表示同一個(gè)語義場的詞匯,比如 hospital system ; ban; many employers institute, 指向的意思是一個(gè)系統(tǒng)中所出臺(tái)的政策的問題,瀏覽四個(gè)選項(xiàng),D選項(xiàng)policies 符合題意,直接入選。
20、【答案】B against
【解析】本段的主題是反對肥胖,本句話屬于細(xì)節(jié)的句子,用來支持這個(gè)主題,空格所在句講到米歇爾奧巴馬已經(jīng)發(fā)起了一個(gè)高知名度的_____兒童肥胖,甚至告訴奧茲博士,它代表了我們國家最大的安全威脅?崭裰腥鄙僭~匯應(yīng)該含有反對,反抗的意思,縱觀四個(gè)選項(xiàng),只有B against 符合題意。

21、【答案】B A special tour
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。答案定位在第二段的“it is far better to spend money on experiences…like interesting trips…”,意思是“花錢消費(fèi)在經(jīng)歷方面更好……,比如說有趣的旅行……”,由此可以得知答案是B選項(xiàng)“一場特別的旅行”。
22、【答案】A critical
【解析】觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。答案定位在第三段的“something the average American spends a whopping two months a year doing, and is hardly jollier for it”,意思是“普通美國人一年花兩個(gè)月的時(shí)間看電視,并且看電視幾乎不可能更愉快”,因此可以得知作者對于看電視的態(tài)度是A選項(xiàng)“批判的”。
23、【答案】D rarity generally increases pleasure
【解析】觀點(diǎn)例證題。答案定位在第三段,文章中提到Mc Rib這個(gè)例子,用這個(gè)例子證明的論點(diǎn)是“luxuries are most enjoyable when they are consumed sparingly”,大意是“有節(jié)制地消費(fèi)奢侈品最令人愉悅”,D選項(xiàng)正是這句論點(diǎn)句的同義替換。
24、【答案】B may prove to be a worthwhile purchase
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。答案定位在最后一段的最后一句“most people will come away from this book believing it was money well spent”,大意是“大多數(shù)人看完這本書后,認(rèn)為物有所值”,因此可以推知B選項(xiàng)是正確答案。
【解析】題目問“Epley發(fā)現(xiàn)有更高自尊的人傾向于怎樣”。對應(yīng)到第四段,第二句講到“沒有證據(jù)顯示那些自我提升最多的人這樣做是為了掩飾自己的不安全,接著講到:事實(shí)上,那些認(rèn)為自己的形象高于吸引力標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的人就是那些表現(xiàn)出更高自尊的人,故答案為[B] believe in their attractiveness。
【解析】題干問“我們可以推理出臉書(facebook)之所以是一個(gè)自我拔高者的天堂,是因?yàn)槿藗兛梢宰鍪裁?”對應(yīng)于文章最后一段的第二句,該句講到“在臉書(facebook)中,人們可以分享最滿意的照片。”下文接著講到“不是人們不誠實(shí),而是人們展示了自己最理想的形象。”故答案為[D]withhold their unflattering sides。

36、【答案】[B] involves certain political factors
【解析】 根據(jù)本題題干中的關(guān)鍵詞housing sector可以對應(yīng)到文章的第二段, 中間說的很多,我們注意到最后有but出現(xiàn),最后應(yīng)該是作者真正想要表達(dá)的觀點(diǎn),另外這里用了the most significant 最高級(jí),所以最后這個(gè)是最重要的一個(gè)原因,politically charged和選項(xiàng)B的political factors有對應(yīng)關(guān)系,故選B involves certain political factors。
A項(xiàng)的吸引注意沒有提及,C項(xiàng)的承擔(dān)太多責(zé)任,原文說的shoulder the blame,D項(xiàng)說的喪失價(jià)值,原文說的是不善于表明真正價(jià)值,兩者不一致,故排除。
37、【答案】[C] suffered government biases
【解析】經(jīng)濟(jì)適用房曾受到政府的偏見。答案定位到文章第三段最后一句話It needs to put historical prejudices to one side and take some steps to address our urgent housing need. 政府需要把歷史的偏見放在一邊并且采取一些策略解決我們迫切的住房需求。Suffered 是過去式,是對于原文history 的同義反復(fù),biases 是對原文prejudices的同義反復(fù)。
38、【答案】[A] allow greater government debt for housing
【解析】推斷題。根據(jù)文章題干定位到第五段,題干考察的是對穩(wěn)定的租賃環(huán)境的理解。A項(xiàng)的意思是“減少注冊供應(yīng)者的成本”,其中“成本一詞”并未在文中出現(xiàn),屬于無中生有。B項(xiàng)的意思是“減少政府接介入的影響”,其中“政府介入”并未在文中出現(xiàn),屬于無中生有。B項(xiàng)的意思是“有助于為新發(fā)展提供資金支持”,其中“為新發(fā)展提供資金支持”對應(yīng)文中的“fund new developments”;C選項(xiàng)中的“contribute to”(意思是有助于)對英文中的have a significant impact(意思是有重要影響),符合正解的同義復(fù)現(xiàn)原則,所以是正確選項(xiàng)。
40、【答案】[D] stop generous funding to the housing sector

Write an essay based on the following chart. In your essay, you should

As the bar graph indicates, both city and rural area witnessed a distinguished phenomenon in population fluctuation. Indeed, population in city increased at a breakneck speed and surpassed that of rural area during the period from 1990 to 2010 while population in rural region slightly decreased down to a scale which was close to that of city.
What accounts for this disparity? The answer involves two factors. The first contributing factor is the substantially fast developing steps of cities in China. No one can deny that since Chinese economic reform from 1980s which mostly benefits people in city. The second reason is that Chinese farmers enjoy the harvest from new policies that are established to benefit farmers. People in rural areas are allowed to migrate for work and residence by the law and an increasing number of farmers choose to work in city and become migrant workers just because they would make much more money than ever before in city. All these are the result of urbanization.
Based on the analyses above, we can safely draw the conclusion that the process of urbanization will continue in the years ahead, and every single Chinese benefits from the fast development of China.
